Traveller's Shoes

You arrive without warning
And your wandering mind
Is taking the next step just after crossing the line
And beyond all of your riches
You will see for yourself
That you're a man just like everyone else
You feel like you're the patron
Of all the good guys you greet
You're walking in the shoes of all the traveller's you meet
And your stories will keep on shining
But when the sun starts to set
You're a man that is easy to forget
You can feel your blood a boiling
With your head held up high
You're the peacemaker's decoy in your own web of lies
And you need another person
To believe your own eyes
You're a man in a stranger's disguise
There's a river running through you
And it won't ever stop
You're either sinking to the bottom or you're floating to the top
And it's a pale realization to conceive being alive
When you can feel your heart a racing leave your troubles behind
And just sink into the shoreline to await the rising tide
You're a man that's got nothing but time
You're a man that's got nothing but time
You're a man that's got nothing but time

Second Nature
03:58

I know I'm just second nature to you
My thoughts embellish all the little things that you do
Until you left me high and dry
I swore I'd never let you down
But your silence was the only sound
Alone conversating with your ghost in my room
My heart torn by the shadows that forever consume
The dying embers of a fire you sparked
I swore I'd set myself aflame
To forsake damnation and feel your burn again
We forged our love with simple mysteries
All of my worldly pleasures buried in you
Just reveal my time here as obsolete
And if I pinned you down to the wrestling mat
You know exactly where I'd touch you at
Destroy my life or set me free
I'm bound, captivated with the slightest of ease
Deep down tantalizing with your skeleton key
But the locks and lies you left were your design
I swore I'd trap myself inside
Until you'd be my lonely, my one and only pal
We forged our love with simple mysteries
All of my worldly pleasures buried in you
Just reveal my time here as obsolete
And if that's where the heart attacks
Then that's exactly where I'm at
Destroy my life or set me free
You can talk if you want to
I don't mind if you do
You can talk if you want
Cause I've been talking too
You can talk if you want to
I don't mind if you do
You can talk if you want
Cause I've been talking too
I've been talking too
I've been talking too
