lyrics

living inside and i’m wondering why my life begins today
always on time but it’s never around when my world begins to fade
i’m on that open road – and left to find a way

whenever i die and begin my slide i’ll remember where i stayed
and never once hide that my life was tired when i was meant to turn away
i’m still on that lonely road – i found along the way

long time – nothing’s changing
lifelines always bring me back again
(i wish i’d stayed)
to the world i left behind

forcing my eyes open wide i begin to look around
there’s something inside i can never provide even after all i’ve found
i’ll take that lonesome road – and take it all away

it’s something i’ve tried but i’ve never denied – never tried to hide away
alone on this ride i will take it aside on this long and dark highway
i’m lost on this empty trail – alone in disarray

long line – endless changes
sometimes it carries me back again
(i wish i’d stayed)
to a life i left behind

hard climb – i’m rearranging
a lifetime of never-ending lies
(i’ll turn back again)
i’ll find my way back home

there’s a sign up ahead that tells me i’m wrong
with it another chance to hold on
can it be there to push me along?
i wish that i could find another life alone
and drive it all away

why don’t i finally pack it in now
and take all the things bringing me down
nothing i have can turn this around
at times i wish that i could live my life alone
i’d drive it all away

about

No Hype image

No Hype Dublin, Ireland

walking around different areas of the world, you see, you absorb, you think, you acknowledge and then you realize a few things; and you eventually write about those things. the idea of ‘empty lullabies’ came from my own life experiences.
these songs are all about old memories and forgotten photographs…
thank you for listening. ... more
