Be Okay

I see the shadow in your eye
I know that there's been trouble in your life
One time is all it takes to realize
That each night we lose a little a light….
You ask me how is my day
I look at you & lie
No matter what i say
Everything has its time
Rate of decay
Everything must die
My words upset you most the time
So I whisper, I whisper them into the night
My voice it trembles with doubt & disguise
I say I miss her & you don’t reply
You ask me how is my day
I look at you & lie
No matter what i say
Everything has its time
Rate of decay
Everything must die
I don’t care why
Everything must die
I don’t need to know why
I see the sadness in your eye
I know that there's been heartbreak in your life
One time is all it takes to realize
That each night we lose a little light

Death of an Artist
02:48

My favourite part of school was when they asked us
what we wanted to be
when we grew up
Just a small child's dream right before they crushed it
figuring out that nothing is what it seems
when you grow up, if you grow up
People policing, people policing me
People policing children, policing individuality
My favourite part of work was when took away my offices only key
They locked me out
I never messed around with a god gun complex
Westerly egos have been sneaking up on me
They figured me out
People policing, people policing me
People policing children, policing individuality
My favourite part of life was when they asked us what we wanted...

The weight of the world is just enough to crush your hopes
Every time i figure out what it takes to make a better home
Human ignorance is for sale & its bought up by the so-called wise
Then they turn around and sell it right back to us to make a better lie
So go ahead and break me open
If I’m living a life where I’m sitting around hoping…
So go ahead and make me broken
If the way I feel is left unspoken
The weight of the world is just enough to crush your bones
Every time i look around I see people who don’t even know
Human ignorance is for sale & its bought up by the so-called wise
Then they turn around and sell it right back to us to make a better lie
So go ahead and break me open
If I’m living a life where I’m sitting around hoping…
So go ahead and make me broken
If the way I feel is left unspoken
The weight of the world is just enough to crush your hopes
Every time i look around i see people that i wanna know

Alaska Highway

This won’t be the last time I stay up the Alaska highway
All my loved ones at home they stay
While all my life slips away
Can i find a way to tap into
The money hidden in the bank
Although I’m lonesome let my love shine through
And let your love shine through me too
Because we live & die by these tools we use
Until we meet the ones who get to choose
To carry on, to carry on, to carry on
So carry on...
With every dime I spend i sell my soul
Because i know where i have to go
When you dwell on things you can’t control
You give away everything you can you know
If im destined down this lonely road
I give it all away for you my sons
Although I’m lonesome let my love shine through
And let your love shine through me too
Because we live & die by these tools we use
Until we meet the ones who get to choose
To carry on, to carry on, to carry on
So carry on…
Carry on…
This won’t be the last time I stay up the Alaska highway...

Made 4 Me
04:04

So much has changed so much has went away
It is best that it never comes back again
I ran it right out of town
Much of the same which only brought pain
We got to know our common enemy
Don’t let ourselves in the way
Cuz our hearts are simple
This may be our last day
So i will leave no love left in me
You are strong you’re unique
Express your light when you speak
You are love and i believe
That someone like you
Was made for me…
Made for me…
I started to see the shadow in me
I turned on the lights and things looked ugly
It was time to clean house
Everything was seen as helping or hindering
My little boys need someone functioning
So I cared for myself
And it was so simple
This may be our last day
So i will leave no love left in me
You are strong you’re unique
Express your light when you speak
You are love and i believe
That someone like you
Was made for me…
Made for me…

My Bad
03:42

Looks like we both messed up
But will we forget
If we had to wait to die perfect
Then we’d never be dead
So come on girl lets move slowly
This ain’t over yet
If we tried to look a little harder
We might find the end
Because you know
I never meant to frighten somebody
I never meant to frighten somebody like you…
At first it was so simple
But we had no clue
As soon as life happened
We didn’t know what to do
That's why I choose to love you
Whether I’m in the mood
If we tried to look a little harder
We might find some truth
Because you know
I never meant to frighten somebody
I never meant to frighten somebody like you…

Circles
04:32

We can’t be lost in a wicked stare
And merely drift through our lives
And ponder it later
Sometimes all i need focus
And provide action from thought
Make situations better
I know you know all of this
Im not saying I’m right
I think its time we open our minds…
I will stop if you stop first
Thats how this sad world works
A revolving circle
So do we simply live our lives
With views from only two sides
How can one express a million?
I get the feeling in my heart
That this isn’t so hard
And i should just try to enjoy myself
If i don’t then i’ll be floating in a sea
That isn’t very rough but isn’t very gorgeous
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow
Another reason to stay out of the medium
Medium…
Not another circle
Not another circle, oh no…
Any time you want i’ll be around
Any time you need someone in town
I will always walk along with you
Just as long as I’m invited to

I gave you the ocean your first year
I wish i was stronger
I wish i was here
I got no soul, oh no
I got no soul, oh no
I got no soul
What was i thinking it seems unclear
What comes with the ocean
Takes me far from here
I gave you my soul your first year
I better take it back before i disappear
I got no soul, oh no
I got no soul, oh no
I got no soul

Another Day
02:32
|

My love is free
Although it may be
Crazy to think about
If you were me
Then would you still see
All that i care about
If i lost everything i own
Would i be the one that i’ve come to know
If i lost everything today
Would i be strong enough to carry on
And live another day…
The love in me is tough you can see
If i can let it out
What will i leave when i’m deceased
For everything i care about
If i lost everything i own
Would i be the one that i want to know
If i lost everything today
Would i be strong enough to carry on
And live another day…
Another Day

Kalei's Song
06:32

You left without us thinking
What would it be like when you’re gone
Now you’re missed with no understanding
Why you had to be the one
I wish i was where you are
Then we could sit and talk and be together
Instead I’m here writing this song for you
I guess memories will do…
Now i know you won’t be forgotten
And you’re out there watching over me
You’ll be the first i search for in heaven
And our smiles are all they’ll see
I wish i was where you are
So we could sit and talk and be together
Instead I’m here writing this song for you
I guess memories will do…
I hope these memories
I hope these memories work
I hope they’re working…
I hope they’re working...
