Great Escape 03:15
I comb the horizon, for signs that I’ve found my way I’ve come to rely on, a steady glow that’s never far but I when reach, It’s gone, I’m still trying, but all that I ever see has come in diguises, I never seem to get it right but here I go again I need a second with the light on, Another moment for my great escape A little time before the curtain’s down And my world it comes undone I hold this direction, I wish I could read your mind, I drown in these questions, have I been going round in circles cause I see The past, never distant, I feel it beneath my skin it begs my attention, I’m never getting taken in but here i go again

Tthere’s a place that I saw, there was a time that I thought it closer it’s so far off I’m not sure that it’s gone, feel it change as I’m growing older is it enough? Head is in the air should I leave it there? even if it’s hopeless just take a look around Every other day, feeling miles away, is it worth the bother? to figure all this out What are you waiting for? So now where do I go? wish somebody who knows could tell me where I belong Could I say that it’s right? Could I leave it behind I’m failing so out of touch Try to find a way, should I go or stay? got no destination, but I don’t want to wait Really can’t complain, feeling half awake I don’t want to face it or stay another day
3.
The sun is in my eyes, when did morning dawn? even in this light, I can’t find the door Go find, go find, your answer, go now, go now, and catch it What if time it ends, tomorrow never comes, I’d like to make amends, but something’s got my tongue, Go find, go find, your answer, go now, go now, and catch it I’ve waited, but still not found, I need it, I hear the sound I know I’m not alone, I know you feel the same, we called eachother home but something had to change, Go find, go find, your answer, go now, go now, and catch it Have I got it wrong, made myself a lie, I thought I could belong, with you I’d have a life Go find, go find, your answer, go now, go now, and catch it
4.
They come and they talk, but nothing can escape, our love will last and age Some already walked, but I will always stay, I’ll never lose my way Call somebody, I can hear the voices coming again Call somebody, I can see the fools are bringing the end It’s hard to believe, it’s always been the same, they’ve always known your name, But some come to see, and I can see the day, when all this goes away

Obvious 03:25
I can hear the clocks are buzzing, it can’t be done, let me stay a while yeah I know you owe me nothing, I made you run far and wide I keep coming back to this I know what must be done, It’s hard to say I know that we’ll be gone forever even if it’s obvious having trouble with the feeling, it can’t be done, barely found our feet Never saw this life revealing who we are and what we want
6.
Off Grid 03:15
I know I’m a lot of things, can’t get to the bottom See a version of myself but i’d prefer another, Can’t hang it up, I’ve come unstuck Find out what your miss behind those lids, you don’t belong Can you choose the life that you will live? or has it gone I can’t get myself outside the grid, it’s been too long Tell me what I’m missing Could someone please give me a break from this running Who told me life would find a way? it’s just bringing me down I’m not sure that I like the way, I’m becoming It’s heavy on me like a weight, will I ever be found I can’t get my head around it, hard to even bother Time and time again I’ve fought it, never to discover Can’t hang it up, I’ve come unstuck
