Shipwrecked 03:09
Ship leaves the dock and heads to the sea Captain looks through the glass of his telescope and realises the sea is risky Out of his depth he is gasping and reaching for air No one can help a man of his stature cause he is to smart to care To smart to care On the deck the cabin boy does his chores Bullied and moved from pillar to post, he is to scared to aproach The man who controls, steers and directs the helm If cabin boy stands up to captain then he is marooned and left stranded Left stranded *Interlude* Your not a boy, you are a man who has grown Abandon this ship and forget who you work for cause you are not alone Not alone Not alone Not alone

Dear Diary 02:45
Dear Diary I've got something to share No one will listen so I'll write on the pages Child, child don't whimper don't you cry No one is blind to the shadows on the ground Give me some advice, what can I do right? The sky is to far to grab hold of me Passengers take a seat Someone's afraid and some is scared But listen to these words I was told by a traveller She said there's some good But there's always some bad Don't live life in fear and become a stranger Give me some advice, what can I do right? The sky is to far to grab hold of me Passengers take a.. We are not perfect, but we strive imperfection There's a bruise on a knife which is ready to be released Cause a change Is coming For me Now the sky's not to far to grab hold of dreams Passengers take a Passengers take a Passengers take a seat Take a seat Seat, Seat Seat

Bear Hunt 03:07
Once apon a time when I was young there was a story read every night We're going on a bear hunt and we're going to catch a big one Rewinding the pages of time Oh engraved in my head no photograph to prove Memories of my youth we go.. Ohh... Fantastically magic but growing up is tragic cause we loose the power to believe All we see is reality and all its brutality in things we don't want to do Oh we can't go over it, we can't get under it We've got to go through Because.. Ohh.. What a beautiful day We're not scared, we're not scared Not going in the cave Not today no not today Because.. Ohh...

Take it all Pull me down like gravity and watch me fall I don't want to leave You've taken everything from those words that I have feared Suspended like a bat upside down I'm afraid of the day That when I go away The sun it turns to rain and the light becomes my night And the ghost of your soul will always be there to hold The light that lives on ground Forever now Snowdrop kiss Falling down and landing on those warm wet cheeks I don't want to leave I can't beleive it's time, it happened so quickly Although I may be gone We're joined together and memories last forever I'm still living on Cause when I go away The sun it turns to rain and the light becomes my night And the ghost of your soul will always be there to hold The light that lives on ground Forever now

about

54 holds a special place in my heart as it was my grandmas house. I wanted to mark the 6 year anniversary with a tribute and "Ghost of your Soul" is a song I wrote dedicated to her.
54 is all of me.
