1. THE STORY SO FAR

This is the story of a traveler
This is the story of an eternal struggle
A hollywood adventure,
Battles lost on the side of the highway
With just a single black bag,
To carry his home in but under the stars he,
He found solace - something real to believe in
Every day wanting to be somewhere else,
To be something more
And then he realised with every step he was


2. LIFETIMES

I will not be defeated
I know I will overcome
I've found courage, I've found freedom
I've become limitless
When did it become so fucking hard
To let life be run by your fucking heart
To stay gold and live a positive life
Sink or swim its yours to decide

The world told me just the other day
That it ran out of hope for me
But I told him I'm a fucking No Hoper
And that I dont need his shit
Cause I will make it on my own
I dont live by your boundaries
I possess a sea of strength, that will get me to the end


3. PRIDE FIGHTER

Never the same, never the same with your head
In your hands
Push the pain and you're right back at it again
Never again, never again eyes to the sky
But you've never thought of trusting yourself
The whole worlds beating down your door
The tears come crashing to the ground

I have learnt to walk on water, cause the world kept Burning bridges and where most would stop
And give up i rose above
There's no such thing as failure
just the ones who purely gave up
On themselves and the determined
I've got enough to make it home
I've had demons breathing down my neck before
And like you I didn't know how to handle
Cause somehow growing up has taught us misery
And it broke everything we loved
But I thought and found another answer
Cause the cards that
I was dealt never really made sense to me
And I was never the same, never the same
With my fists by my side
I push the pace and I'm right back in it again
Never again, never again my heart is my guide
So much more than merely trusting yourself

This world may beat me down
This world might truly hate me
But this world won't see me fall
No this world won't see me drown
So you can burn those bridges
I will learn to walk on water
I will be that shining beacon standing alone,
For everyone else


4. FATIGUE

First things first
The only reason one would ever drop to rest on their knees
Is by the fault of their mind, the answer lives in us all
But through the ages and advances we have lost control
And slowly lost ourselves but never lost our hope

Our hope to one day make it back up that hill,
Back to the world we control
Our hope to one day conquer what's inside,
What's inside us all
Our hope to see failure as just
Another chance to become something more

So I only just want to barely want to survive
This pain is just another doorway to a better life
I can see the pain stretched across your face
And in the back of your mind you're fighting what's inside
That voice that says it's okay sit down
And rest those bleeding lungs
But without struggle there can be no victory
Pick yourself off the ground get back to your feet

They stacked the odds so high that it blocked out the sun
They said a dead end was my path there was no way around
But here's the story of when my fate met my heart of gold
Knees nearly failed me, my lungs are filled with stones
My visions blurry but
I'm still here standing tall
Against the world against myself
Against the fear of the fall
But I will not be broken
And then a riot erupted underneath my chest
And through the pain I knew to hold out till the end
Cause on the other side is a much greater man
Waiting just to greet me.
Wouldn’t life be perfect, if we weren’t all so afraid


5. SKY WALKER

I'd walk through a thousand years of hell
Just to see you make it through the night
Cursed forever,
When you say there's nothing more that we can do
We put everything we had in never being alone
And though we've suffered a loss I know this isn't the end
I know this isn't forever though
These years will tell another tale
What I've seen and what I've heard
Will change my life for the better
Where I've been will always hold
A special place in my heart
You and me we'll always be forever, you'll always be mine
No, I know I know it's just a matter
Of time until I'm staring right into your eyes
No, I know I know cause I can feel your wings brush
On my cheek to let me know that you're near
Sky Walker


6. DEAR WORLD

To the world who taught me heartbreak
To the world who pushed me around
To the world who showed me nothing but hate
To the world who took everything away
To the world that wrote me off from
Before the very beginning
To the world to whom I never existed
To the world that chose to silence me
To the world that showed me war
To the world that showed me famine
To the world who broke its promise
To the world who showed me famine
To the world that never made it easy
To the world that taught me I could be better
To the world that claimed innocence
To the world that claimed higher class
To the world that never made it easy
To the world that taught me I could be better
To the world that showed me
I could be better than I am today
To the world that wasn't afraid
To the world that set my life on fire
To the world that showed me all of my mistakes
To the world that wasn't afraid to show me what was real
Dear world, Thank you for making me stronger


7. DEAD WEIGHT

“I struggled but I found my way down this one way street,
I looked past the addiction
don't just exist be all that you can
Be echoing in my mind as my foot left the pavement”
As my foot left the ground
and I sprung to life after so many
Years blaming the world for my problems
Ive seen your heaven, I've walked through hell,
I've conquered your everest
I've fought off your demons and it nearly killed me
But here I am standing with no one to blame but myself

No one to blame
And all that I can hear is your voice in my head

“I've been broken before and what seemed like the end,
Now feels like nothing at all”
I lost myself
“Two feet in the air at the edge of the world
Your voice in my head, saying something
About taking my life into my own hands”
I struggled but I found my way.

“I struggled but I found my way down this one way street,
I looked past the addiction
Don't just exist be all that you can be echoing
In my mind as my foot left the pavement”

Ive seen your heaven, I've walked through hell,
I've conquered your demons, I've fought off your demons
And it nearly killed me but here
I am standing with no one to blame but myself
No one to blame

My past lies in ruin,
But i won't let the failure come crashing down on top of me
Nothing else to live for but the chance to gain the ground
The chance undo all the wrongs that
I have tied around my waist
Yes I've fallen down but this won't be the end of me


8. RIVER CITY

As I watched my life explode into
Dust throwing colours to skies
Colours i knew would break the minds of men,
The weak the willed both broken
We were the ones who looked away to determination
Yes, we've been labelled, shoved to the side
Forced to fend for ourselves, but so content with life
We're no hopers, we're just no fucking good
We're going no where fast but
We've got our dreams and the heart to make them true

You say we may not make it everything
We build crumbles to the ground
I know the odds are against me but
You don't know me I've done this before
And I will never give up and through determination
I will rise
This is my run down town and these are
My ruins where something great once stood
This is my corner of the universe
And this is my hole in the ground
This is our washed up scene full
Of hand-me-down songs and the same fucking bands
But no matter how bad you say it's going to be,
This will always be my home

No matter what you have to say,
We take the good with the bad
This is where we're meant to be
This is where we're going to last


9. WINNER TAKES ALL

Can anyone “see through this”
See through this
“Her ship is sailing away”
Sailing away

Sailing away
So don't you count me out just yet, I'll keep moving Crawling to my knees I'll keep fighting
Legs don't fail me now

This is nothing, nothing I can’t beat
Cause I've walked through a war and I emerged a king
These soles have seen the roughest streets
The coldest nights and so we'll walk till
We run out of ground
I told you I would walk to the ends
I know my wounds will heal so
You don't count me out just yet
At the foot of every mountain lies pain
And fear and opportunity
This is the story of the traveller
