sometimes names are the same. years running over a distance to blame, we silence and shudder at the sounds, but notes bring life, from the ground, all these hills and valleys unfold, the air runs crisp, still we choke, swallowing the flutters in the light, discounting tension clear as night. awake my friend your alive. remember that past uncontrived, everything will be alright, again. you lost the magic to the fear, the voice of demons in your ears, protect yourself, if you can, forgotten soldier son of man, we compound mystery with the times, searching for answers online, you can't touch the tangible in space, you can't sever ties in haste, awake my friends your alive, remember the past uncontrived, everything will be alright again. ghost of guitar, I love you. you understand, always do, there's more in the notes than the tone, there's more inside that we own

All of the roads were green
They all pointed to the sky
There was never an in-between
Or any reason to ask why
So they loaded up that van
And they pointed those wheels west,
They were going to find their glory
And they were never gonna rest
They were never gonna rest
They took turns playing tunes
They took turns singing along
They took turns talking about their futures
why all of there friends were wrong
When they came across confusion
Or had any sense of doubt
They just turned that music up
Cause, that’s what this is all about
That’s what this is all about
As those lights were getting closer
And the horizon opened up
They knew their journey was almost over
And it was time to go on luck
And as one turned to the other
With brand new worries on the mind
Saying they ought to stick together
And not leave each other behind
That moment met with silence
Bringing question and concern
Perhaps our lives are very different
You’ll be the later one to bloom
You gotta find your way,
You gotta find your way
You gotta find
Gotta find your way
Took some time to understand
All those thoughts from long ago
All our lives are very different
Gotta focus on what you know
Can’t compare one to the other
That’s a foolish thing to do
Never gonna know just what’s out there
Until you have faith in what you do
You gotta find your way
You gotta find your way
You gotta find
Gotta find your way

SILENT LVR
silent lover don't let me be wrong, I been looking out for you each night that you’re gone.
silent lover please sing me to sleep, tender and softly now as your breath hits my cheek.
And I'll dream of that land, in the distance away, where you'll never leave and need no reason to stay
silent lover please send me a sign, something to acknowledge that I'm walking the right line.
silent lover be honest with me, don't let me wonder falsely through each fantasy,
silent lover why are words hard for you, with every indecision comes a decision too,
silent lover I've done all I can do, I've offered up my everything, my everything I'd share with you
And I'll dream of that land in the distance away, where you'll never leave and need no reason to stay
Silent lover leaves are rustling in the wind, and the more the trees grow bare the more I must begin again,
silent lover are those your footsteps I hear, or is the season playing tricks on me, that cold wind blowing in my ear.
silent lover I just got the message you never sent, it says you’re just not ready, it says you can't be kept.
Silent lover, my head dips in the fog, I've funneled through the emptiness you've left me for the fall
And I can't keep dreaming in that distance away because I know you’re leaving and you'll never stay
I won’t regret nothing, because I did everything I could, I put myself down, to lay it out for you
sometimes I'm still dreaming in that distance away, where you'll never leave, and need no reason to stay
