Mountains 05:09
Out on the peak I see it all And pray that I don't fall Miles stretching on And the lights below they shine Tonight it's like they're mine I'll stay here til the dawn Can you see me cry Tears like diamonds Falling to the ground And though my eyes still shine I'm not hiding I see it all around Never wanna let it go again Playing with my heart Now I won't pretend Never gonna let it fall please believe This life is finally mine And now I've been set free
2.
So tell me something I know whats coming I, I tried so hard to hide Why, why should I let it die? I don't know? Oh I know I won't stall now Oh see I dream And let It go And I see, and I see you now Shout it out I won't give in to doubt I say cause I know I don't wanna waste or let it go cold I'll just let it all out Tell me how this goes now I just can't let go Telling me I've still been dreaming I can see You're worth believing I don't know Just how to let it Just how let it go And I don't mind If you don't mind And I don't mind If you don't If you don't Go Just know I won't let down I hope You know I'm here Around So say You feel I won't Let down I know You care I'm still Here now

Here 04:22
Been a while since I felt this okay Crack a smile a mile along my face All the words come out the way I want And nothing hurts cause all the pain is gone There's nothing I would rather see There's nothing I would rather do There's nowhere I would rather be Than anywhere along with you In the air a feeling oh so sweet And I don't care if I sleep for a week Cause nothing else has ever been this way I'd never leave if that would be okay There's nothing I would rather see There's nothing I would rather do There's nowhere I would rather be Than anywhere along with you And all I know, and all I see Is all okay so I can breathe Every night in every dream You're the one I want to see All I hope and all I pray To feel this feeling every day I can tell it's all alright As all my fears just drift away And all the thoughts inside my head Fade away upon this bed Everything here just makes sense And all I hope is that it never ends There's nothing I would rather see There's nothing I would rather do There's nowhere I would rather be Than anywhere along with you

Screens 04:25
I only see you in my dreams Or illuminated screens These days it seems like all I see Are the ghosts of some past me And I know I know I've been here before And I'm not alone But I don't I don't Feel like I'm whole Cause I'm not home So say it's all in my mind Cause these days I've lost track of time And I wait to look for some sign Of something that's mine Oh So wander the dark And search for a spark I feel it again It's leaving a mark Reflecting the start Of sections and parts What's lost in my head Is found in my heart These words flash across a screen To send me thoughts unseen And I don't know just what they mean But they mean the world to me And I know I know I've been here before But it's not the same Cause I don't I don't Want nothing more Than you here again And memories unfold Of stories untold I think I'm losing it Cause they haven't happened yet And in a screenlit bed Every message is left For me to open them To find some hope again

Stay Strong 03:22
And it goes on Miles and miles below And I stay strong Oh oh how I know And it goes on Miles and miles below And I stay strong Oh how I know And it goes in Miles and miles below And I stay strong Oh oh how I know And where we go Oh I oh I couldn't know But it stays strong Oh oh I know And the bell keeps ringing in my head Oh the bells keep ringing in my head I'm not sure what I'm hearing I'm not scared I just know that I'm finally here I just know that I'm finally here Hey hey So all this time goes by I try to understand just why These memories inside my mind Are haunting me like dreams alive And still we grow My minds not sure cause i just can't know How all my life is meant to go I just hope it feels like home And it goes on Miles and miles below And I stay strong Oh oh how I know And where we go Oh I oh couldn't know But it stays strong Oh oh I know Oh I know

Three Months 03:23
So I try Try to make it whole Try to make it right No matter where we go And so I hope Hope and oh I pray Looking all around Trying to find the way And as I go Wander on On my own In these train cars And old streets All my thoughts Capture me Let me know Where my heart should go When I don't know no more And I feel all alone Oh tell me all again Tell me again I can see them running through my head Running through my head Every second that I ever lived That I ever lived From the times when I was just a kid To the day I'm in And if I don't ever let go of All these broken thoughts I'm not sure that I can be the one Who will make a mark I just hope that I can live the life That I've wanted to And I guess that that seems easier When I'm next to you I can't tell can't tell my own thoughts Sometimes it feels like they're all lost And I'm not always my best self But I feel better when we talk Said you couldn't keep track of my whole life There's just too much to fit in a small time And maybe that's why I get so scared now But you around can make it all feel fine

Night Walk 03:31
Heaven knows All these days they go Blurred without control As the past it grows Oh we walk the streets With our broken feet Still our hearts they beat Though our eyes don't meet Oh I'm in a dream That might not mean anything And how can I believe Something only I see? the stars we see Don't shine differently But the view above's not the same to me As we walk these streets Oh my heart it beats But the way it leads makes no sense to me Oh I'm in a dream That might not mean anything And how can I believe Something only I see? And I can't stop Where my heart goes And I won't stop Where my heart goes
9.
Tell me do I have to know? Am I supposed to let this go? Can I even see it now? Something out of my control Im not even sure right now How to just let all this out But I don't even mind for now I don't even mind for now Just like a dream Close your eyes Tell me can you see the sky Cause I'm not sure what I will find With these lids closing down closing down Tell me please How am I supposed to see? When I'm stuck inside a dream That's constantly just fighting me Now tell me tell me tell me Can I see How every little moments meant to be Cause I'm falling falling falling all alone Trying just to figure out where I am going I couldn't let this go I don't I don't know I could let this be again Tell me tell me tell me please Where am I supposed to be? And let go of this misery again Tell me do I have to know? Where my heart will go from here If every thing I used to know Has suddenly begun to disappear And when it all begins to grow When all these thoughts start to make sense Can I finally feel it all And let go of my fear of how this ends Tell me do I have to know Can our hearts still feel it

Best Friend 03:16
I'm just a bit strange I'm not deranged I really care But I know I scare sometimes Cause I get scared sometimes I I come on strong I can be weird I do this wrong sometimes But I make it right Knowing that we'll be fine Don't you know You've become my best friend And where we go Well I don't see an end Oh your hopes And dreams will all come true This I know Because I know you Lost, lost in a crowd Wandering around Before I met you I was okay Before I met you I was okay But now Now you're around And even my downs Are higher than highs I had In those olden days Before you came my way Don't you know You've become my best friend And where we go Well I don't see an end Oh your hopes And dreams will all come true This I know Because I know you Sometimes I smile Sometimes I cry Now that I have you in my life And though I might hope And though I might try I cannot always do this right You held my hand Under the lights And even in pain I felt alright My tattoo remains That we got that night I want you the same here in my life Don't you know You've become my best friend And where we go Well I don't see an end Oh your hopes And dreams will all come true This I know Because I know you

about

STAY HONEST is an album about love and friendship, isolation and distance. This is the hardest I've ever worked on an album, and I'm very proud of the results.
