Sorry If I reply slow, I'm doing an essay for sociology

I see big things for you in the future, Keaton, big things :P

 

Gonna be a star

Indeed :nod:

Today marks 4 months with Morgan :wacky: :heart:

 

And she responded to me just now via FB private messaging. There goes the 21 day silence. :wacko:

Aw that's wonderful Keaton, congratulations!

 

And James, you have so much talent too. You could definitely do something with your skills.

Thanks Molly :nice: And thank you very much for the compliments. You guys are the best. You guys are just as talented if not more. ;)

I don't have you guys' musical talent, but I'm pretty good with money and business, I'm always organised so I would be a good manager haha :P.

 

For a meeting please call....

 

Too early for that maybe :P

Congrats Keaton! :awesome:

 

And thanks Molly :hug:

 

I'm really bad at songwriting though :P at least I am to me. Any anyway I need to start a band before I can release anything :nod:

*cough* overseas manager*cough*

Putting all the song lyrics into one note page so you will be able to read them Molly.

*cough* Cool! *cough*

 

:lol:

Is it okay if I add some extra songs? :P

Just about done Molly, I'm adding some extra songs you might wanna see the lyrics to. :rolleyes: James, do you want me to send you this pm?

Sure! :awesome: If that's good with you!

Running In The Dark

 

I ran downtown

In the wicked and wild night

And it opened up my head

To a whole another world

Across a new divide

Full of chaos driving

And mayhem flying

 

And I'll go running in the dark

Running in the dark

The fire's gone out

But not the spark

And I'll go running in the dark

Running in the dark

 

Sirens are sounding off

They're chasing after me

To them a menace, a public enemy

And for what I've done in their eyes

Deserves a final goodbye

And for what I've done in their eyes

Deserves one final goodbye

And down on my knees

Where the trees are gone

One day the sun will dawn

 

And I'll go running in the dark

Running in the dark

The fire's gone out

But not the spark

And I'll go running in the dark

Running in the dark

 

Running...Running...

RUNNING!!!!...RUNNING!!!!

 

Running in the dark...

-------------------------------------

One Day

 

D, Asus2, Em, G

 

Sometimes you have to sing from the heart

To get where you want to be

And sometimes singing can set you free

The weightlessness will lift you off your feet

As you fly through the air

The sights the sounds oh nothing can compare

You can walk down the road and know where you are going

But if you open your eyes

Can see the whole world glowing

 

Yeah one day you'll make it

I know you can make it

You won't have to fake it

Cause I know you can make it

 

Life can feel like a puzzle

Always trying to find the missing piece

Go left go right which way takes you to the lights

Sometimes you have to go back to find what you've lost before

And sometimes you already have what you've been looking for

 

Yeah one day you'll make it

I know you can make it

You have heart and soul

And no one can take it

 

Home, home is where you belong

Home its where you are strong

Home, home is where your heart lies

Not under those lonesome skies

Home, home is where your heart lies

Not underneath darkened skies

 

And I know that you know you can make it(x3)

-------------------------------------

Where Nobody Knows

 

EADGAE

 

Verse: 2DG, E 2EG

Chorus: Fm, E, 2EG

Solo: Fm, 2EG, F(5,6,7), E

 

Its time to go

Look up and see the orange glow

We're gonna fly into dark blue skies

Towards the sun with both our eyes

And venture into thee unknown

With a seed that will be sown

 

Where gonna run

Where nobody knows

We're gonna go

Where no soul goes

We're gonna go

Battle lightening's glow

Where gonna run

Where nobody knows

 

No matter what happens

I know that we won't give in

We'll keep fighting and we'll always win

We're always turn the music up

In our cars on a friday night

Through the city in full flight

Singing our songs till first light

 

Where gonna run

Where nobody knows

We're gonna go

Where no soul goes

We're gonna go

Battle lightening's glow

Where gonna run

Where nobody knows

 

[Awesome guitar solo]

 

Where gonna run

Where nobody knows(x4)

You Only Live Once

Shoe gaze tuning/Regular version

 

Verse: F(8,9,10), F(3,4,5), F

Solo: F(8,9,10), F(5,6,7), F(3,4,5), F

 

The dark of night

Opened up your eyes

To different skies

Where birds fly by

Drums will beat

Clouds in skies will meet

 

The seas are rising

Tides are changing

Up and down side to side

Swaying back and forth

The stars they all point north

 

Yeah you

Yeah you

Only live once

Yeah you

Yeah you

Only live once

 

The sun rises and darkness retreats

All thats left to see

Is a world where we run free

 

The seas are rising

Tides are changing

Up and down side to side

Swaying back and forth

The stars, the stars they all point north

 

Yeah you

Yeah you

Only live once

Yeah you

Yeah you

Only live once

 

Yeah you

Yeah you

Yeah you

Only live once

 

[Amazingly awesome guitar solo]

 

Yeah you

Yeah you

Yeah you

Only live once

Yeah you

Yeah you

Yeah you

Only live once

Highway

 

"The Bromance Song"

 

Verse/Chorus: F789, F234, F567

Solo: F789, F567, E

 

Standing...with you

In the middle of no where

Together giving ya a thousand yard stare

Looking for some place

Where neon meets the sky

Looking for your face

So I can see your eyes

 

I just want you to stay

Don't leave me alone on the highway

Drive with me to the bay

Memories made on the highway

 

Standing...with you

In the middle of no where

Together giving ya a thousand yard stare

Looking for some place

Where nothing else compares

Wondering if sounds can echo and blair

 

I just want you to stay

Don't leave me alone on the highway

Drive with me to the bay

Memories made on the highway

 

[Awesome guitar solo]

 

I just want you to stay

Don't leave me alone on the highway

Drive with me to the bay

Memories made on the highway

-------------------------------------

Tranquility Hill

"Slow acoustic of the album"

"Trough chaos as it swirls.."

 

Oh sunlight rising in the eastern sky

Can we escape from this world and fly

Sunlight will bust through the rain

So we can start again

 

The roads we're traveling bend and curve

We may be wandering, but we won't swerve out of control

We'll keep searching for our heart and soul

 

Sing oh

And we'll run to tranquility hill

 

Sitting silent and still on top of a hill

And through all the storms and chains, I see you running

Through all the mist and rain

I see your heart glowing

And pounding against the pain

 

And if this is a sign

Please show me the right way

So maybe one day

Good things will come our way

Good things will come our way

Good things will come and stay

 

Sing oh

And we'll run to tranquility hill

 

Sing oh

And we'll run to tranquility hill

-------------------------------------

Open Your Eyes

 

EADGAE

 

F234, Em, C/G, C/G(234)

 

Look out now look and see

Streetlights out

And I know without a doubt

You're the one for me

And I know without a doubt

Yeah you're the one for me

 

Look out now come and be

The one I love won't you please

You're the one I always see

You're the one to set me free

 

Your skin and bones

Are something more

Something that's worth fighting for

Together you and I

I know we'll soar

 

Look out now look and see

All the things you've done for me

I want you to know

And hear me say

You're the one I want

Won't you come haunt me

 

Your skin and bones

Are something more

Something that's worth fighting for

Together you and I

I know we'll soar

 

Like white snow

I'm covered in you

And you know its true

Like the rain

I'm soaked/drenched in you

And you know its true

Like the moon

I'm glowing for you

And you know its true

Like a pain

I'm basking in you

And you know its true

And I know and you know

It's true

-------------------------------------

Now I know What I'm Fighting For

Verse: F234, Gm, Em, D

Chorus: Gm, F234, D

Now I know now I know

Where all the lights will glow

And I know where I can go

Yeah I know where I'll go

I'm not lost I'm not lost

Every line's been crossed

But I know where I can go

Yeah I know where I'll go

 

Yeah

Now I know what I'm fighting for

Yeah

Now I know what I'm dying for

Yeah

Now I know what I'm fighting for

 

I'm no longer tired and sore

I'm ready and will ask for more

I can feel down in my core

One day I know I'll soar

 

Yeah

Now I know what I'm fighting for

Yeah

Now I know what I'm dying for

Yeah

Now I know what I'm fighting for

And I want you to know it's true

That I love you

Sitting on a bridge in the park

Looking at the sun

Watching it fade to dark

And seeing people run

Looking up then down

Getting lost in all the sounds

And as all the city lights go out

I'm left without a doubt

That I know I can't live without

Such a beautiful sight

 

In the end, I'll stay by your side

Through storms and tides, and until

Darkness has gone from your life

 

And everyday I'm left on my knees

Alone with the cool morning breeze

This is't what I've felt or what I've seen

As I rise out of bed

Against the words I've said

Knowing the truth but not accepting it

One day the fire will be lit

 

In the end, I'll stay by your side

Through storms and tides, and until

Darkness has gone from your life

 

In the end, I'll stay up with you until the break of dawn, and I know and I promise you we will live on

New York

 

"RITD" chords backwards

 

Another day gone by

Since we stood atop the world

Times passing us by

We can't slow it down

Let us open our eyes

and see through this disguise

So tomorrow we'll fly

Fear has cut me down to size

And made me realize

What is perfect in my eyes

 

This road we're walking down

Is full of noise and sound

I can see the sun breaking overhead

And of all the things that you've said

"Speak your mind, Jump in line"

Take that leap of faith and believe

Together there's so much we can achieve

 

Days moving faster now

Seconds ticking away

Make every moment count

We will find a way

Just have no doubt the sun will come out

One more mile, one more smile

One more light, a fire to ignite

 

This road we're walking down

Is full of noise and sound

I can see the sun overhead

And of all the things that you've said

"Speak your mind, Jump in line"

Take that leap of faith and believe

There's so much we can achieve

Some things happen for a reason

The stars in space will align for you

If you believe in what you do

You can find it pure and true

There's a voice inside us all

Trying to tear down the wall

Walk to the ocean

And look deep within

You'll find a beauty

Waiting to begin

 

Oh(x2)

 

As the sun breaks over the horizon

And the rain comes pouring in

I'll be freed and see what you see

The truth will set me free

I'm falling from the sky

Give me something to remember you by

 

Oh(x5)

 

The truth will set me free

I'm falling from the sky

Give me something to remember you by

 

Oh(x3)

I wait for it

I take my time

I'll stand in line

You know I'll be fine

I wait for you, yeah I wait for you

But you don't wait for me

You don't know how much I want you to see

And you can't see how much this means to me

And yeah you don't know how much this means to me..

 

I am the escapist

Flying above the stars

The one that could save this

But now I know only love can heal our scars

 

I'm for you

But you're not for me

I once thought we could be

But now I see

I'm the one who can try and save our lives cause with you I feel so alive

I am the one who can make it right

I tried to leave here

But my timing wasn't right

I tried to escape

But I still saw the light in your eyes....

 

I am the escapist

Flying above the stars

The one that could save this

But now I know only love can heal our scars

 

I'm the escapist

Flying above the stars

The one to save this

Only love can heal our scars

 

I tried to escape

But I still saw the light in your eyes....

I tried to escape

But still I saw the light in your eyes....

 

I'll be escaping....

 

-------------------------------------

(V.ii)

I wait for it

I take my time

I stand in line

You know I'm fine

I wait for you, yeah I wait for you

But you don't wait for me

You don't know how much I want you to see

And you don't know how much this means to me..

 

I am the escapist

Flying above the stars

The one that could save this

But now I know only love can heal our scars

 

I'm for you

But you're not for me

I once thought we could be

But now I see I have to try

Because with you I feel so alive

I know we can make this right

I tried to find you in the night

Then I saw the light in your eyes....

 

I'm the escapist

Flying above the stars

The one to save this

But Only love can heal our scars

 

I tried to find you in the night

Then I saw the light in your eyes....

I tried to find you in the night

Then I saw the light in your eyes....

 

I'll be escaping....

 

-------------------------------------

Luminous(v.ii)

 

Am7, F, C/G, G6

 

There was something in the air

And the thought was oh so sweet

Where love and life meet

Down the corner of my street

The city will heal my soul

This time (I know) I'm on a roll

Oh I can feel the bliss

and the ultraviolet rays

We're glowing luminous

As we light the way

 

In the night

I hear music to my ears

Music no one else can hear

Traveling in and out of time

Always running trying to catch a rhyme

Escaping full on flight

Always battling darkness with light

And in the dark we'll glow

And get lost in the echo

Yeah in the dark we'll glow

And get lost in the echo

-------------------------------------

Lights On The Horizon(La Chanson De l'avenir)

 

C/G, G6, Am7, F

 

When I look around

I see bridges falling down

I see towers soaring

Past the speed of sound

Just because they added fuel to the fire

Doesn't mean you shouldn't fly any higher

No matter the burning desire

 

Don't give up

And don't give in

Don't be afraid to change a thing

The sun will shine for you again

 

We'll finish what we started

Won't leave dishearted

Just give it your all

Just give it your best

It could be different from all the rest

You'll never know if you never try

It could be blue like the endless sky

 

Don't give up

And don't give in

Don't be afraid to change a thing

The sun will shine for you again

 

The sun will shine for you again(x2)

Life On The Frontline

(Write chorus)

F(7,8,9), Fm(4,5,6), F(9,10,11), E(13,14)

 

So I left Windsor

Heading for the coast

Where the sun's a blur

Oh honey look and see

Life an adventure that sets you free

You become whoever you want to be

You see whatever you want to see

You let it take you wherever you want to be

 

(Chorus)

 

The sun will always set in the west

Remember the good times

And leave out the rest

Keep looking for that mountain to climb

Even when the world shuts you out

Just say yes without a doubt

 

(Chorus)

 

-------------------------------------

Chorus ideas:

 

The truths for knowing

The road/lights will always be glowing

 

You can still win without anyone know

You can lose it all and still be glowing

 

Love's for knowing

Your heart will always be glowing

-------------------------------------

"Now my feet won't touch the ground"

That's awesome!!!! :awesome:

Thanks! Which is your favorite? :p

One Day :nod: :dazzled:

 

I like the line "the weightlessness will lift you off your feet"

Thanks, I love that song too. :)

Can I try doing my own album synopsis? :p

Please do!! :awesome:

Okay this will take a while :P

Echo My Name (I Can't Believe You're Gone)

 

Help me please

Take me away from this place

I'm on my knees

The tears are rolling down my face

Save me here

Before I fall into the dark

That's what I fear

I can't believe you're gone

 

Where am I now

Someone's gotta set me free

I don't know how

But someone's gotta get the key

I take a breath

Now I'm holding up the sky

Don't give me to death

I can't believe you're gone

 

*chorus*

Echo my name

Honey, I don't want you to go

Echo my name

Honey, I don't know how to show

My love for you you

I can't take this anymore

Echo my name

I can't believe you're gone

*chorus*

 

I can't believe you'd run away from me

My heart it beats

But sometimes it just wants to flee

I thought you loved me but I was wrong

I want you to be happy

But I can't believe you're gone

 

*chorus*

 

And I won't leave you

I won't leave you

I won't leave you

I won't leave you

I can't believe you're gone

I can't believe you're gone

I can't believe you're gone

I can't believe you're gone

The Escapist

 

I wait for it

I take my time

I'll stand in line

You know that I'll be fine

I wait for you

But you don't wait for me

 

I am the escapist

The one that could save this

I'm for you

But you are not for me

 

*chorus*

I am the one who can try to save our lives

I am the one who can maybe make it right

I tried to leave here but my timing was not right

I tried to escape it

But the light in your eyes

Was gone

*chorus*

 

The night has always been got friend

That's what I've heard

It's not absurd

I'll let you sleep

Eyes closed deep

 

Won't wake her up

Let her dream

Of a perfect seam

And maybe

I won't know what's going

On.

 

*chorus*

 

------------------------------------

Lost at Sea

 

Take me now

Take me away

I don't wanna be here

Anymore

Without you

I'm lost at sea

And I'm separate from the world

 

I can't see in front of me

Only behind that's true

But without you

I'm lost at sea

I'm lost at sea

Without you

 

*chorus*

I don't want to say

Goodbye

But it's over

It's over

 

I don't want to say

Goodbye

But it's over

*chorus*

 

Take me now

Before I fall

Into the depths

Of the earth

I don't want to be with you anymore

But I love you

How didn't i see

 

*chorus*

 

*chorus*

Go to sleep

You've realized

You can't

Make your place

In this world

 

You've waited days

The lights have turned out clearly

You can't

Make your place

In this world

 

But I think your luck can change

I think your luck can change

 

I can't rest my brain

I've realized you won't

Make your place

In my life

 

But I think my luck can change

I think my luck can change

 

Don't worry now

Please don't leave me

Please don't leave me

 

Don't worry now

Please don't leave me

Please don't leave me

 

And I think our luck can change

I think our luck can change

 

Don't worry now

Please don't leave me

Please don't leave me

 

Don't worry now

Please don't leave me

Please dot leave me

 

Dont worry now

Please don't leave me

Please don't leave me

Please don't leave me

Please don't leave me

Now That It's Over

 

Now that its over for you today

Pacifist to soldier were all the same in some way

It'll be over for you tomorrow

My heart will run over your fountain of sorrow

 

(^x2)

 

*chorus*

And I'd do anything to take it down

I'd do anything to reverse your frown

I'd kill the hardships and up your downs

I'd do anything to take it down

*chorus*

 

Now that's its over for you today

You gotta wipe those little tears away

It'll be over for you tomorrow

My heart will run over your fountain of sorrow

 

*chorus*

Now that we're here

You gotta wipe those little tears away

Now that we're here

This Hollow Frame

 

This hollow frame of a heart

Something that can't be explained tore apart

This hollow frame of a love

Won't be explained from above

 

Ah oh ah oh ah oh ah oh

 

But then the lights came on to show

An optimistic glow

The darkness faded away

And it was a brighter day

 

*chorus*

But I'll live on

And I'll move on

So I'll walk on

And I'll love on

*chorus*

 

This hollow frame of my soul

It just has to go

I know I'm stuck

I'm out of luck

But I'm happy to be here you know

 

*chorus*

 

I don't want to be in this hollow frame no more (x4)

 

Ah oh ah oh ah oh ah oh

 

*chorus*

-----------------------------

Starting Over

 

My head is filled up with

Nothing she takes it and

illuminates My words

But they don't speak the truth

 

Was it unexpected or did I really think

That the lights would stay lit

Without her

 

I need some sleep tonight

I need some light in my life

 

A handshake and I'm starting over

A handshake it's the new order

A handshake I'm starting over now

 

Color, I need color

Color, I want color

 

I need some sleep tonight

I need some life in my life

 

A hanshake and I'm starting over

A handshake it's the new order

A handshake I'm starting over now

----------------------------------------

In Rainbows

 

I don't know what it is

No I don't know what it is

She's perfect

She's perfect

She's perfect

 

From the bottom of the ocean

From the bottom of the sea

When I'm without you

It hurts me

 

I was standing on the edge

Standing on he other side

I was standing on the edge

Until you came by

 

If you should leave from by my side

If you should leave me for the dead

Maybe it's all just in my head

It's all in my head

 

*chorus*

And you come to me in rainbows

All the colors that I see

They're painless

 

And you come to me in rainbows

All the colors that I see

they're painless

*chorus*

 

*first verse*

The Escapist (Part 2)

 

Give me a minute

My mind is playing tricks on me

I don't know how to think anymore

But I guess what will be will be

I really need to get out of here

My time is up that's what I fear

 

And I'll take you anywhere you need to go (x4)

 

*chorus*

You know I'll love you for eternity

But I'll be escaping

You know I'll be there when you need me

But I'll be escaping

 

And when the darkness comes

You know that I'll be holding on for you

Yeah when the shadows come

We'll be escaping together me and you

*chorus*

 

(Entire song repeated)

For You

 

I just wanna grow old

Never do what I'm told

I wanna be with you

But my story's untold

 

And I'm not gonna wait

No I'm not gonna wait

I'm not gonna wait

 

*chorus*

For You

I came here to save you

But you did not need me

Why didn't I see

 

For you

You know that I love you

Forever I do

Forever I do

*chorus*

 

It's been three very long years

Full of happiness and tears

Loves lost and then found again

And the cycle never ends

 

But I'm not gonna stop

Never gonna give up

And I'm not gonna stop

 

*chorus*

 

*chorus*

 

I just wanna grow old

I just wanna grow old

I just wanna grow old

With you now

Honey

Just echo my name

Honey

 

I can't believe you're gone
