Bus Ride
Verse 1
A ride on a bus
That just does what it does
But you feel like it's a waterslide
How the wheels spin? Who knows
nor where it goes
You're just going along for the ride
And lightening strikes
Wherever it likes
But you don't have sit down and feel the flash
And cars will pass by you
And maybe even fry you
But you don't have to sit around and watch the crash
Ch.
And I'm losing patience
As time goes I'm losing hope
And it's insane to me
How pain can be
And i forgot how to cope
And I'm missing answers
And there's no sign of relief
And I find it amazing
How you can find faith
In a world where I just see disbelief
Verse 2
A trip on a boat
We're staying afloat
But we know there's a chance we'd sink
Cuz no one can predict
When those waves will kick
The world doesn't work the way we think
And hurricanes hit
And you can't stop it
Natural disasters don't care much about you
And though you feel brave, you
Know no one can save you
Bow to the masters, there's nothing else to do
Bridge
And your rides are internal
Better go to hell when it's still light
And while you can you must burn
All letters to yourself you forgot to write

Going Down
Verse 1
Spending years with our fears
Counting every god damn minute
Hating everything about the world
Forgetting we were in it
We were crass, we became twisted
We thought of the past just like it never existed yeah
Pre chorus
Those golden years
They're now in the past
Bottled up beers
Should've know they never last
Chorus
We're going down we're falling out if love
We've been around and we're thinking of
How we're lost and found all through the years
We're going down, going down from here
Verse 2
We got caught up in nostalgic thoughs
And life has become depressing
The future is a dystopian nightmare
And we feel so stuck in the present
Now we have a few years added
Guess we never realized how good we had it then
Pre chorus
That golden time
It has come on gone
A second glass of wine
A new day has its dawn

All He Could Be

All He Could Be
Verse 1
He was a painter far beyond his time
An artist that could've changed the world
He died suddenly in the middle of his prime
His body was tainted, but his soul was pure
He had some stories to tell
Fantastic works made just out of boredom
A collection of pictures he would sell
To anyone who could afford them
Chorus
He sure wasn't perfect
He sure had his flaws
Wish him hell and let him burn
Curse his name and doom him
He sure seemed quite mirky
He sure could do more
But one day you're gonna learn
He was only human
(and that's all that he could be)
Verse 2
He became a father at twenty two
Way too young to see life was in front of him
And all his dreams fell apart before he knew
How much they'd really want of him
When he had worked to earn his keep
When he found out about his daughter
Those lonely nights he would weep
But still relieved it wasn't him to who caught her
Verse 3
He had a gun to protect kids and wife
In a safe, locked drawer next to the shelf
He offered anything for a quiet life
Never felt like a danger to himself
The first two bullets left two in laws dead
It took justa glimpse of his traitor brother
But now the third bullet went straight into his head
He could've forgiven any other

Tomme ark
Vers 1
Nye sider, nye tomme ark
Ny tider for en tørket jord
Nye planter på ei dyrka mark
Nye bed der blomster gror
Vi er som klovner i samtiden
Gjemt på et fårt, bort fra mengden
Vi gjør ikke noe for framtiden
Å spille kort hjelper ikke i lengden
Ref.
Vi har tomme ark, tomme ark
Noe å beskrive døden med
Mange tomme ark, tomme ark
Et håp vi behandler nøden med
Tomme ark, tomme ark
Noe å komme gjennom livet med
For mange tomme ark, tomme ark
Men vi har ingenting å skrive med
Vers 2
Noah han hadde en tom ark
Den fylte han opp med dyr
To mennesker fikk han i sin store sjark
To griser, to løver, to kyr
Skriften er der om du må tro den
Noah reddet alt liv på planeten
En tom ark ble full før floden
Slik reddet han menneskeheten
Vers 3
Nå er det på tide å snu arket
En ny start eller ingenting nytt
For skriften er som et gatemarket
Du kan gjøre et varp eller gå hjem snytt
Men en dag må tiden komme
At du ofrer din notatbok en tanke
For det er slik at ark som er tomme
Er ikke det samme som blanke

Dumb Reminiscing

Dumb Reminiscing
I reminisce on time that's passed
The years that ran by so fast
It's like my time went in a loop
or I went through a hoolahoop
So I think back on what I did
when I was just a kid
And I think back on happier times
But that happiness might only be in my mind
Chorus
It's a dumb reminisce
When I sit and think back
On times that I miss
When my life was a shack
It's a stupid memory
When times weren't that bad
Reliving what used to be
And it almost makes me sad
Nostalgic thoughts are here
From holidays from longone years
Times that will never return
That are no longer a concern
Some people just move on
Never reflect on times that are gone
But I go back every now and then
Though I know I'll never be there again
The idyllic stories told
makes me feel like I'm getting old
When I think about those days
A different time and a different place
But isn't it really the same?
Isn't it kind of a shame?
In my memory moments are missing
but I still enjoy dumb reminiscing

Song That Should Have Been in the Lion King
Verse 1
I once heard about the circle of life
About birds and bees and how insects breed
And got to know about the plants and forests
That could start with one single seed
We live and die we get born and give birth
We start wars we sign treaties of peace
And once I learned this
I went out and started planting trees
PC
We all start up in diaper
We might end up in diaper too
And a mother's baby
Who used to be wiped, maybe
At some point have to wipe her too
Chorus
Because what goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
It's all in idioms and clichés
When someone starts to cry
And we don't see eye to eye
We sympathize and pity them and walk away
Verse 2
When we're young we seem invincible
And immortal but we soon find out we're not
And a tree can live for hundreds of years
But its apples are gonna have to rot
PC
We all start in cradle
We all end in tomb
And nothing life gave us
Is able to save us
From impending doom

Wheel of Repetition

Wheel of Repitition
Early morning the wheel starts turning
And it doesn't end when the midnight oil is burning
The teacher needs a place to learn in
And the pupils get to make the big decision
And nothing can stop this wheel
It might not be a very big deal
It's just the wheel of repitition
The wheel of repitition
The workaday world goes by
You are on a mission
But it's just one big lie
You can sign a petition
But it'll just be pretend
The wheel of repitition
Is something you can't end
(is never gonna end)
The fishers with fat fingers expect a finish
A thought that will make any other thought diminish
A powerful message, but a disturbing image
A dream that is reaching fruition
If you find someone you care about
And know all their whereabouts
You'll see the wheel of repitition
Far away some bells of joy are ringing
At a graveyard outside a fat lady is singing
No one knows to what we are clinging
We put money in the well, but forgot what we were wishing
The crisis is immediate
but you're still just intermediate
watching the wheel of repitition
