I hate watching the sun come up dawn after dawn with tears in my eyes.
I have never known the spring to turn so quickly into autumn.

Walk on by

When you see me walkin' down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet,
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe you don't see the tears
Just let me breathe and cry
'Cause each time I think of you I want to die
So just walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
So if I seem broken and blue,
Walk on by, Walk on by
Beautiful memories is all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and sadness
That you gave me when you left me high and dry
Walk on bye, Walk on bye

TravelGuide

Is there anyone waiting for me there?
Why am I traveling then, where am I getting at?
Feels like I should just stop for the night,
These moments I am losing, won't return, I am sure about that.

Those tender moments have already passed,
And those nights have been relegated to memories,
She has forgotten, I better forget too,
The affection and those cute allegories

There's only emptiness now, where we once had hours to chat
Why am I traveling then, where am I getting at?

Nobody's anywhere, waiting for me to arrive,
The time I am alone, its hard to even keep a record!
No one's feelin' my pain, its like being stung by a hive
And there's not even a tear that she can afford!

In my own hometown, I feel like an expat,
Why am I traveling then, where am I getting at?

Happiness is an illusion,
Its like ripples in a lake
Everyone has seen 'em, everyone knows 'em
But they are there for no one to take

You can't have it forever, whether you are humble about it or a brat
Why am I traveling then, where am I getting at?

Is there anyone waiting for me there?
Why am I traveling then, where am I getting at?
Feels like I should just stop for the night,
These moments I am losing, won't return, I am sure about that.

"Not Dark Yet..."

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep; time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writing what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well, you can be in London or you can be in Paris'
You follow a river and you will get to the sea
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

I was born this way and I'll die against my will
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear, a murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

Stop this world, I want to get off.
