I take my time
To hurry up
In my mind
It's all a rush
Recall those days
That forgotten place
Its on the ground
Above those clouds
Its not making sense
Now I understand
Truth before my eyes
Its all a promised lie
Truth before my eyes
Its all a promised lie
Its all a promised lie
Its all a promised lie
To fit in
While in disguise
Its when I
Feel the best inside
There is this smile
Oh while I frown
Looking down
Taking in
What's all around
Its not making sense
Now I understand
Truth before my eyes
Its all a promised lie
Truth before my eyes
Its all a promised lie
Its all a promised lie
Its all a promised lie
Its not making sense
Now I understand
Truth before my eyes
Its all a promised lie
Truth before my eyes
Its all a promised lie
Its all a promised lie
Its all a promised lie

Oh I'm restless
Don't know what I want
Oh there's no sense
Can't keep a thought
Where's the focus
I forgot
I forgot
I forgot
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
This feeling
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
I'm reeling
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Oh I'm restless
Don't know what I want
Oh I'm losing
What's already gone
Oh my voices
Go on and on
On and on
On and on
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
This feeling
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
I'm reeling
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
This has to end
This has to end
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
This feeling
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
I'm reeling
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head

I know I'm just
A breath in time
But oh my thoughts
Did I lose my mind
Trying to find
The reasons why
Its a promised lie
Look for the side to blame
For everything everyday
And oh my thoughts
Is it what they want
Your sanity gone
Locked to your screens
So you don't see
Your dreams
Slipping
Looking for change
When its all strange
Looking for change
When its all strange
Feeling like
I'm lost in a wave
Oh I'm just
Looking for change
Now have I strayed
From common place
And oh my thoughts
Are they wrong
Should hold my tongue
I'm just losing face
With these words like rain
Washing away
Like yesterday
Looking for change
When its all strange
Looking for change
When its all strange
Feeling like
I'm lost in a wave
So hard to place
The right way
Feeling like
I'm lost in a wave
So hard to place
The right way
Looking for change
When its all strange
Looking for change
When its all strange
Feeling like
I'm lost in a wave
Can music
Save me

I close my eyes
And look around
I do not find
A single sound
The canvas is blank
And its waiting for
Silence to break
And I know
In the thoughts
That flow between
Out of body
And a conscience dream
That's where I see
The notes to create
Like an easel and paint
The canvas
Of silence
Waits
The canvas
Of silence
Waits
I close my eyes
To see a show
Within my
My pupils glow
The more I give
The more I believe
How the muse
Finds company
In the thoughts
That flow between
Out of body
And a conscience dream
That's where I see
The notes to create
Like an easel and paint
The canvas
Of silence
Waits
The canvas
Of silence
Waits
The canvas
Of silence
Waits
The canvas
Of silence
Waits

Mondaze
Sit around
And just laze
I know I've been restless
So I'm going to light this flame
Breathe in
To fade away
Into a
Into a
Mondaze
Mondaze
Mondaze
Sit around
And just laze
Been taking myself
To seriously
When at the end
Of the day
Its just music
There's no need to lose it
Its just music
There's no need to lose it
Mondaze
Mondaze
Breathe in
To fade away
Breathe in
To fade away
Into a
Into a
Mondaze
Breathe in
To fade away
Into a

A truth in my eyes
A promised lie
Needed some nonsense
Like a tempo change
In my head
With a rested mind
I'm here to find
Words coming thru
Here's what the muse
Is saying
To me
Is saying
To me
To me
To me

Just Listen

If you
Just listen
You'll hear
What you're missing
Like the warm feeling
To a records reeling
If you let it inside
Consume your mind
Come on
Sway along
Like a crowd of one
With your headphones on
Come on
Sway along
If you
Just listen
You'll hear
What you're missing
Like the casual play
There's more to gain
If you let it in
An experience
Come on
Sway along
Like a crowd of one
With your headphones on
Come on
Sway along
So you can
Break your noose
And let it loose
Break your noose
And let it loose
Let it loose
Come on
Sway along
Like a crowd of one
With your headphones on
Come on
Sway along
If you
Just listen
You'll hear
What you're missing
If you
Just listen
You'll hear
What you're missing
If you
Just listen
You'll hear
What you're missing

I want to know
Is there more
Beyond this door
Like the dream I've chased
Through the melody
Gunna keep going
Gunna keep going
Just watch me
Just watch me
Just watch me
Just watch me
I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
Is there more
Beyond this door
Like the dream I've chased
Through the melody
Gunna keep going
Gunna keep going
Just watch me
Just watch me

I want to know
I want to know

Through the melody
Melody

Standing
04:16

Life won't be
A straight road
It will twist and turn
On the path you roam
Its only time
And its plan
That stays constant
Giving you
A glimpse of a chance
To make your dream last
And if you watch it pass
Its left to die in your hands
And you will always
Look to the past
When the clock strikes now
Where are you standing
When it all comes down
Will you seize it and do
What it takes to make it
When the clock strikes now
Where are you standing
Life won't happen
On its own
So don't create
A false hope
You'll only be
Strung up in its rope
Remembering as you choke
That its so
Hard to forget
When living in regret
So will you just sit there
Bidding your time
Watching your life
Pass you by
When the clock strikes now
Where are you standing
When it all comes down
Will you leave it to chance
Don't fall in love
With destinies romance
When its all on you
Where are you
When its all on you
Where are you
When the clock strikes now
Where are you standing
When the clock strikes now
Where are you standing

Cole Backlund Saskatchewan
Alternative singer/songwriter
... Bringing thoughts alive through the lyrics and melodies
I write... would be my cliché artist description...
... However, I do believe if you just listen you'll hear what you're missing...
