Rescue Me

Rescue Me
Echoes of the past getting louder, louder
Reminds me of the man I used to be
Hands against my ears squeezing tighter, tighter
The screaming never silent inside me
I can see the flames are climbing higher, higher
I’m hiding under blankets like a child
Waiting for the cooling of the embers, embers
And my life is finally reconciled
Can anyone hear me
Does anyone know where I am
Can you even see me
Anyone there give a damn
Why this indifference
Can you rescue me
Feeling that my voice is getting weaker, weaker
Tired from the constant cries out loud
Accepting I’m no longer a believer, no sir
You won’t see me following the crowd
I can see the end is getting nearer, nearer
Speeding like a bullet from a gun
Searching for a way to see it clearer, clearer
Regretting the conclusion has begun

Another World

Another World
The sky has changed a million times
Clouds have come and gone
My phone is saying a million friends
I can only think of one x2
The Road has seen a million cars
Maybe millions more
I thought I knew my own direction
I only think of home x2
Take me to another world
Where you and I are not disturbed
Nobody knows where we are
The world has lost a million souls
Millions more will fall
I tried to save them one by one
I couldn’t free them all x2
Winters here
And yet our leaves are green
Laying in the verdant forest
We cannot be seen x2
Take me to another world
Where you and I cannot be heard
My every breath is tangled in you x2
My life has seen a million heartaches
A million teardrops too
Now the thick dense fog has lifted
I only think of you x2
The sky has changed a million times
Clouds have come and gone
Heading in the same direction
We can journey on x2

Staying Home Today

Staying Home Today
I’m staying home today
By the phone today
Waiting for you
I’m not going away today
Or going astray today
I’m thinking of you
You went and did exactly, just wat you said
Went to find a life in someone else’s king-size bed
Wiping all our history on the mat beside the door
I’m barely coping,
And just hoping
You were joking
And you’re coming home for more
I’m staying home today
By the phone today
Waiting for you
I’m not going away today
Or going astray today
I’m thinking of you
Instrumental
Every night I see the space where you once laid
I know I should move on and put my memories in the shade
You said you wanted us to stay as just good friends
Could this happen
Without the passion
My face is ashen
And I haven’t slept for days
I’m staying home today
By the phone today
Waiting for you
I’m not going away today
Or going astray today
I’m thinking of you
I’m staying home today
By the phone today
Waiting for you
I’m not going away today
Or going astray today
I’m thinking of you

Pretending
©2020 Lyrics and Music by: Chris Owen
Verse 1
Did you ever wonder why
Did you ever even try
Would you go the extra mile
To find the answer
Verse 2
Can you see what I can see
Can you feel what’s haunting me
Will you finally set me free
From this cancer
Chorus
I’m trying to catch a fallen star
Hoping to heal the deepest scar
Finally knowing where you are
Grasping to hold the atmosphere
Wiping away an angel’s tear
Living a life that’s free from fear
Free from fear
Verse 3
Can you point me towards a sign
Not just spin a line
Can you tell me it’s all fine
And stop this hurting
Chorus
I’m trying to write the sweetest song
Saying it’s right when I know it’s wrong
Living a life when I’m not that strong
Trying to squeeze the hardest stone
Wanting to know what can’t be known
Pretending that I’m not alone
Verse 1 repeat
Did you ever wonder why
Did you really even try
Would you go the extra mile
To find the answer
Chorus
I’m trying to catch a falling star
Hoping to heal the deepest scar
Finally knowing where you are
Grasping to hold the atmosphere
Wiping away an angel’s tear
Living a life that is free from fear
Trying to write the sweetest song
Saying it’s right when I know it’s wrong
Standing my ground when I don’t belong
Trying to squeeze the hardest stone
Wanting to know what can’t be known
Pretending that I’m not alone
Not alone

Path To Glory

Path To Glory
His torn and tattered suitcase
Was packed for his crusade
His reasons for not leaving
Were beginning now to fade
He had to go, just had to go
Chorus
Do you believe in karma
Can you see your destiny
Overcoming every drama
And trusting chemistry, what’s meant to be
Verse 2
She felt so lost and lonely
Despite the children’s cries
The only thing she wished for
Was an end to all the lies
She had to go, just had to go
Chorus
Verse 3
The train pulled out the station
The same time every day
He just stood there watching
Deciding should he stay
The car sat in the driveway
For any circumstance
She saw it through the window
But couldn’t take her chance
Chorus
Verse 4
He marched up to the house
As if it was the Path to Glory
He told her that their life
Was gonna tell a different story
She told him that her heart
Was ready now for mending
She kissed him like she’d never done before
This was their happy ending

Leave Me Alone

Leave Me Alone
I feel like I have to share my mind
Tomorrow who knows what you will find
Listen to me
You are constantly banging on my door
Ignoring the rich but not the poor
Leave me alone
Why do you kick me all the time
Trying to take what once was mine
Leave me alone
My whole life is just 10 feet away
Nothing more that I need
I don’t want to read the signs that they parade
Leave me here in my dream
In my dream
Think less of the means and more the ends
Stop sharing it all with your posh friends
Leave me alone
I just have enough to pay my dues
There is nothing more that I can lose
Leave me alone
I am content with what I own
I’m staying here in my timezone
Leave me alone
My guiding light is getting dimmer every day
I don’t see much anyway
I couldn’t care less what the world has to say
All I need is right here
Is right here
How far are you willing now to go
Whilst all of my ducks are in a row
Leave me alone
I know the man that is down will fear no fall
You can’t take away from nothing at all
Leave me alone

You Can't See The Scars

You Can't See The Scars
Have you ever needed to scream
Seeing the horizon and run
Endlessly swimming upstream
Searching for a sight of the sun
Have you ever wanted to feel
Leaving all the lies at the door
Searching for the devil to deal
Offering the spoils of war
You can’t see the scars
Hidden deep beneath the surface
Memories from a life imperfect
Reaching for the stars
Aiming for the highest heaven
Only wanting to be forgiven
You can’t see the scars
Hiding I’ve been wounded, bruised and beaten by the past
Trying to be fearless, tearless, thinking of the crash
You can’t see the scars
Hidden deep beneath the surface
Memories from a life imperfect
Reaching for the stars
Aiming for the highest heaven
Only wanting to be forgiven
You can’t see the scars
Have you ever needed to scream
The volume only turned up to one
Nothing now appears as it seems
No-one ever told you I’m done
You can’t see the scars
Hidden deep beneath the surface
Memories from a life imperfect
Reaching for the stars
Aiming for the highest heaven
Only wanting to be forgiven
You can’t see the scars
Hidden deep beneath the surface
Memories from a life imperfect
Reaching for the stars
Aiming for the highest heaven
Only wanting to be forgiven
You can’t see the scars
You can’t see the scars
You can’t see the scars

Today I Love You
©2020 Lyrics and Music by: Chris Owen
Verse 1
Don’t worry, and put yourself through this pain
Every life needs a little rain
There is nothing more to gain
Don’t be afraid, everyone feels the same
Don’t play their losing game
Or hang your head in shame
Chorus
Live in the moment; Today I love you
I feel your torment; Together we’ll pull through
Live in the moment; It’s me you can turn to
The gift is the present
Today I love you
Today I love you
Verse 2
Don’t worry, just let the flowers grow
Don’t dwell on what you know
Relax, enjoy the show
Don’t be afraid, I’m here to hold you close
When you feel you’re on the ropes
We can still share all our hopes
Chorus
Live in the moment; Today I love you
I feel your torment; Together we’ll pull through
Live in the moment; It’s me you can turn to
The gift is the present
Today I love you
Today I love you
Verse 3
Don’t worry, savour each second now
Nothing matters anyhow
Let’s use what time allows
Don’t be afraid, and put yourself through all this pain
Every life needs a little rain
There’s nothing more to gain
Today I love you
Chorus
Live in the moment; Today I love you
I feel your torment; Together we’ll pull through
Live in the moment; It’s me you can turn to
The gift is the present
Today I love you x3
