FOOL'S GOLD written by KYLE LEDSON
Red light, happens only at the wrong time
Makes me wish I took my bike
You know I've got somewhere to go
Looks nice, how do I know if the dogs bite
I don’t really feel right
Can I just say no
Fool's gold,
Maybe that’s just what I’ve been sold
Cuz I’ve seen the edge of rainbows
And it’s nothing quite like this
Lose touch Cuz I’ve never really done much
And I don’t really know what
I should’ve of done instead
Smoke screen, let me speak let me be seen
Let me breathe let me reconvene
Into you arms again
Fool's gold
Over and over that’s what I’m told
How am i supposed reap
If there’s nothing that I’ve sown
Refrain, you’re coming at me like a freight train
I guess I never really was that sane
What does that tell you
Wrong turn, I’m sweating like I’ve got a fever
Believe me and believe her
We don’t know what to do
I know
What I’m holding it ain’t fool's gold
Cuz I’ve seen the edge of rainbows
And it’s exactly like this...
GHOSTS (ON THAT TRAIN) written by MEI LIN HEIRENDT
You promised me forever with you
Then you turned around and made me blue
And now I can see right through
The man I thought you were wasn’t true
The day we finally said I do
You really made my think that I loved you
On your hand one day I saw, so fine
A shiny new band that wasn’t mine
Ghost is still wearing your hat on his head
Ghost is still bearing that ring painted red
And no matter how far it runs away
There’s still a ghost on that train
You snuck away in the middle of the night
Leaving me without one goodbye
I’d like you to know I didn’t cry
‘Cause all you ever told me were lies
That train you hopped on had something wrong
I knew it wouldn’t take it very long
For my loosened bolts to come undone
and catch Steering you liar off the tracks
Ghost is still wearing your hat on his head
Ghost is still bearing that ring painted red
And no matter how far it runs away
There’s still a ghost on that train
As that lonesome locomotive began to fall
I didn’t regret it at all
I believed it was written in the stars
Your actions shouldn’t get you very far
That train it never really stopped
It’s like you refused to get off
Your soul was stuck to your sin
You never guessed the danger you’d be in
Ghost is still wearing your hat on his head
Ghost is still bearing that ring painted red
And no matter how far it runs away
There’s still a ghost on that train..
NEVER REALLY GONE written by DJANGO RUCKRICH
Staring through the shadows of myself I left here
I see the same old day that took so many of my years
A red sun burns through the eastern sky
As the nightbirds cry in the morning light
I’m going but I’m never really gone
Trying to find something I had all along
I lost my beliefs but I found some to doubt
I found a man they said knew what life’s all about
His head stole his heart and he lived in a lie
Me I just follow what I feel inside
I’m going but I’m never really gone
Trying to find something I had all along
Starlight shines
Upon the broken doorway
All my dead dreams live as ghosts
Of lifetimes I’ve betrayed
Now I’m lost to the world but I don’t really care
I know I belong I just don’t know where
I’ll spend my life searching and at least I’m sure
Well if I die first I had something to live for
I’m going but I’m never really gone
Trying to find something I had all along
I’m going but I’m never really gone
Trying to find something I had all along
Going but I’m never really gone..
TAKE A LOOK AROUND written by MEI LIN HEIRENDT
There’s a woman
Sitting on the side of the road
She’s holding a battered sign
There’s shame in her eyes
There’s a young man
But his face looks aged and tired
Empty bottles at his feet
No job that he could keep
You could keep on walking
but the road needs blocking
You gotta find what needs to be found
You’ll never know how much it means
To do just one little thing
So take a look around
There’s a mother
With a baby in her arms
She’s picking up bottles and cans
This isn’t what she had planned
There’s an old man
Sitting alone in the cafe
There are tears in his eyes
No one left in his life
You could keep on walking
But the road needs blocking
You gotta find what needs to be found
You’ll never know how much it means
To do just one little thing
So take a look around
There’s a busy nurse
Working day and night
She’s saving precious lives
But she’s never satisfied
There’s a singer
Pouring his heart out in the lines
But no one’s listening
Cause they’ve got other things on their mind
You could keep on walking
But the road needs blocking
You gotta find what needs to be found
You’ll never know how much it means
To do just one little thing
So take a look around
So take a look around..
LOST YEAR written by KYLE LEDSON
I put all my apples into one big basket
I come home and you’re astray
I skimmed through the lines of words on the page and I
Signed my life away
And I’m drowning
Like the rain is collecting
And I’m surrounded
There’s just something not connecting
I’m trapped in the lost year
I’m just trying to forget her
I’m trapped in the lost year
I’m just trying to forget her
Before I go insane
We watched and waited as the
Fireflies replaced the light
We’ve come to know as the day
As we stumbled through the warning signs and
Cut off all our other ties
Maybe that’d be enough to stay
And I’m tired
Of pretending not to worry
If it means I’m
Living my whole life
In a hurry
I’m trapped in the lost year
I’m just trying to forget her
I’m trapped in the lost year
I’m just trying to forget her
I put all my sorrows in a tight-knit fist
Punching holes that only hurt my hands
There’s no need to fight it now
I can’t stop it anyhow
And should I if I can?
Im just a-rambling’
Through a dark part
Of the journey
Past these crossroads
There ain’t nothing
That’ll hurt me
I’m trapped in the lost year
I’m just trying to forget her
I’m trapped in the lost year
I’m just trying to forget her
Before I go insane..
REFUGEE OF TRUTH written by DJANGO RUCKRICH
My footsteps break through the ice dead laughter in the breeze
Alone in the night a prisoner of love’s mortality
There’s a house somewhere
Two strangers that share my name
But home is a memory and it’s one
I never can reclaim
A drunk man couldn’t tell my daddy’s face from mine
There’s a hole in the mirror where his iron rings and his rage align
I was 13 for 6 years, captive of fear refugee of truth
On my 19th birthday my hair, turned gray and I lost my youth
Hollow eyes stained
With the hues of heartbreak
Running like a dream
Flees from hope’s decay
I always knew it’s wrong
I just never knew what’s right
It’s hard to win when you don’t
Know what to fight
I thought she’d be the one to help me rise above
But her words were smoke that hid the ashes of our love
There’s a ship crushed by the sea
One storm ends but another comes
I tried to get out
But to my past
Was just the way I knew how to run
There’s flaming signs lit up in twilight streaks of hate
They burn out or they burn you down on pain’s crusade
There’s a new day not the dark
Or the light somewhere in between
It’s the best I can do to not give in
To the shards of my shattered dreams..
END OF THE WORLD written by KYLE LEDSON
I’ve been around now
Heard the sounds now
I know the ins and outs
I know game
I grew the garden
I gave it water
And I know how quick they
take it all away
The sun is rising
But I can’t see it
Behind the smoke
like a blanket in the sky
The end is nearing
Please warn the captain
I know that I’m too afraid to die
As the sky changes
Out it’s old hue
To a shade I’ve never seen
As I look on now
From a distance
At least the end of the world looks pretty
It smells of sorrow
Like some old war zone
It hurts my head
It hurts my eyes
Brother it’s too late now
Grab what you can now
We’re already losing time
As the sky changes
Out it’s old hue
To a shade I’ve never seen
As I look on now
From a distance
At least the end of the world looks pretty
Do you remember
When we were kings here
We reaped the land
Down to bone
Now it feels like
This could be the last time
We could ever call this place our home
As the sky changes
Out it’s old hue
To a shade I’ve never seen
As I look on now
From a distance
At least the end of the world looks pretty
And as the sky changes
Out it’s old hue
To a shade I’ve never seen
As I look on now
From a distance
At least the end of the world looks pretty...
YOU COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND written by MEI LIN HEIRENDT
When you walked in through those jail room doors
I was shackled all in chains
I had treated life so poorly
Like it was all a game
I could see how much I’d hurt you
When I looked into your broken eyes
When they told you how much this time
You said your last goodbye
You used to rock me in your lap
And hold me oh so tight
You’d tell me all your childhood tales
And tuck me in at night
You’d race with me
Through grassy fields
And always let us tie
And you’d hold my hand
While I said my prayers
‘Til the moon lit up the sky
I just want to see your smiling face
But I know it will never be the same
I’ve tried to do the best that I can
But I know you could never understand
As I sit here in this emptiness
I can picture oh so well
Countless empty needles
Hiding on that shelf
I never meant to go this far
Trust me I’ve been through hell
You looked at me in the eye
Said you thought that you could help
You never thought you’d lose me
But there’s where you went wrong
I tried to resist and struggled
I simply wasn’t strong
The more I used the more I more hurt
And I just wanted to die
Now when I look into the mirror
I can’t help but cry
I just want to see your smiling face
But I know it will never be the same
I’ve tried to do the best that I can
But I know you could never understand
But I know you could never understand..
THE POET written by DJANGO RUCKRICH
My fame is an echo of the evening sun
Now I’m where I was 10 years ago
A failed poet lying in the gutter
Thought I could be more now I don’t know
Five miles east of the sparkling river
Is a place I’ve never been and I never want to see
But if I have a shot at becoming something
It sure ain’t here where the wind can see right through me
Tomorrow already happened twice
My rain-washed clothes are falling off my back
Time is all I have but it’s running out
My words ain’t worth the cost of a paperback
A hazy shadow drifting through the crowd
Shone through the night like a note without a chord
As the fire flickered and the sparks that flew
Lit up her face well I grew bored
Tomorrow already happened twice
My rain-washed clothes are falling off my back
Time is all I have but it’s running out
My words ain’t worth the cost of a paperback
I slipped through the gate to the Court of Miracles
And I woke up 3 days later with the rising sunset
The blind man painted in the light of the burning rain
And the circle of thieves told me I was in their debt
Tomorrow already happened twice
My rain-washed clothes are falling off my back
Time is all I have but it’s running out
My words ain’t worth the cost of a paperback
The King said all my empty years just delay my death
If I’m trying to make them more well it’s not working
She was there as the daylight faded away
He turned his head and I ran to keep on searching
Tomorrow already happened twice
My rain-washed clothes are falling off my back
Time is all I have but it’s running out
My words ain’t worth the cost of a paperback..
WALK BESIDE ME written by DARRELL SCOTT & TIM O'BRIEN
Put one foot in front of the other
Steppin' into the here and now
I'm not sure just where I'm goin'
But I will get there anyhow
I got this far with no direction
Followed my nose to where I stand
My heart's still strong, I know I'll make it
Sit right down in the promised land
Sister come and walk beside me, until our pathways do divide
Nothin' much but love to give you, even less have I to hide
When you left me in the spring time
So many questions in my mind
Summer came and left me waitin'
Not one answer could I find
I see you in the Rocky Mountains
I feel you on the great North Sea
It's a lonesome road I have to travel
But you will always be with me
Brother come and walk beside me, until our pathways do divide
Nothin' much but love to give you, even less have I to hide
I hear laughter in the thunder
I feel comfort on the wind
I see hope in hopeless faces
Someday they will love again
People come and walk beside me, until our pathways do divide
Nothin' much but love to give you, even less have I to hide..
