It seems to be that you're running from the truth, because the lie you're living feels so damn good. You don't know which way you want to go. There's many things that I want to say to you. Though I'm concerned, I wish my anger would show through. Nothing I say is going to make you change. Though you're away, the facts remain the same. Your home is here, not there. And with everyday, I'm more and more afraid. That you won't find your way. That you will choose to stay. It's plain to see that you're feeling quite alone. Don't forget that you're always welcome home. I want you to know, you've got a place to go. When you speak it's clear you mean not what you say. Why convince yourself to live your life in pain. You don't know which way you want to go. Though you're away, the facts remain the same. Your home is here, not there. And with everyday, I'm more and more afraid. That you won't find your way. That you will choose to stay. It's not too late for you. It's not too late for you to turn this all around. There's always hope for you. There's always hope for those desperate for a change. And I'm desperate to believe you'll be okay. And I'm hoping that you'll find the strength to fight the darkness, and find your way back to the place called home.

We all search hard to find the perfect words at the worst of times. Everyone wants to hide, to keep the truth concealed, confined. nobody likes to fight, they prefer to keep it quiet. We all live inside a cage scared of what fate awaits There's many reasons I couldn't stay, I've been searching for something and something that I can not explain. This is how I chose to say goodbye. My heart's set on better days and better ways to live my life. My heart's set on better days and better ways to live my life. I've always had the need to say the things that I please. I won't lie to satisfy, the truth is all my heart desires. I'll find my place. I'll keep my faith. There's many reasons I couldn't stay, I've been searching for something and something that I can not explain. This is how I chose to say goodbye. My heart's set on better days and better ways to live my life. My heart's set on better days and better ways to live my life, this time around. I'll keep searching, I'll keep hoping to find what I'm looking for. I'll find my place. I'll keep my faith in you. That's just what I'll do.

My Mirror 03:31
My mirror doesn't speak to me, it says nothing. When I ask who I'm meant to be, I get no reply. Just a blank stare from empty eyes. I've never been so alone. Tell me how to break the spell. I can't focus, I'm a mess. It's been so long since I found rest. Everytime I call to you, you save me from all the things that I've done wrong. My hearts full of anxiety, it beats so fast. When I think of all the future holds, I get so afraid... That I may never feel alive again. Tell me how to break the spell. I can't focus, I'm a mess. It's been so long since I found rest. Everytime I call to you, you save me from all the things that I've done wrong. I wanna wake up from this bad dream I've been living. I wanna see the things you see in me, would you show me? I wanna take each day as if it's the last, no regrets. I wanna live, I wanna feel, I wanna love.

Lend me your coat, it's cold out tonight. The frost on the glass is not the only one to bite. And thought winters passed the season lingers on, With nothing to do but to stay or make tracks. And if you decide there's nothing here for you, I'll be sorry to watch my lover leave. I don't want perfection, I gave my heart to the one I love. You'll always be more than enough. I would never try to make you change for me. Spring has arrived, but there's snow flakes in our hair. remnants of the past we're finding hard to shake. A shiver down your spine, at the touch of an open wound. But there's no wrongs or rights, just the need to forgive. And if you decide that's something you can't do, I'll be sorry to watch my lover leave. I don't want perfection, I gave my heart to the one I love. You'll always be more than enough. I would never try to make you change for me. I've got more than I'll ever need, When you say, your heart belongs to me. Forget about the times we've lost, and live each day with more love than the last.

The River 02:53
I took myself down the rock slope, to the place where sinners go. Walked to the edge of a river so wild, And threw myself in. Wash away all my stains I don't want to feel the shame Take away all my pain, I don't want to be the same My heavy heart laid me to rest, Far below upon the river bed. Here I will stay till there's nothing that's left, That you can recognise in me. Pull apart everything of me. Leave me with the things that you deem worthy. Clean away all that's wrong with me. Cast away the dark, so I can finally see. Wash away all my stains I don't want to feel the shame Take away all my pain, I don't want to be the same

Been feeling sorry for, sorry for yourself. Been down this road before, you know there's nothing worse. You know you've got it good, but still you feel remorse. You've got no one left to blame, Nobody but yourself. And I've done my time, for the things in my life that I'm not proud of. But I ain't giving up, I'm not gonna be chained down. I'm not sorry for my past mistake. I'm not sorry what I give and take. I'm not sorry for who I am today. And you don't need to be sorry anymore. Been dreaming way to big, and doing far to little. You set your sights so high, and landed in the middle. And I've done my time, to repair my damaged pride. But I ain't giving up, I'm not gonna be chained down. I'm not sorry for my past mistake. I'm not sorry what I give and take. I'm not sorry for who I am today. And you don't need to be sorry anymore. Don't try so hard to please everyone You'll end up hurting yourself again.

Goodbye 04:28
Dress me up in my oldest of clothes, And lay me down, beneath the ground. Take all I had and give it away, Cause I don't care much, for all this worldly stuff. When I leave, I'll take with me, The memories I hold so dearly. Darling please, try not to miss me. And rest assured I won't forget you. When I die, I hope to leave behind, Stories of success and not one hint of regret. Love will always be more important to me, Than the money we possess. You're my greatest success. More than silver and gold, More than can be told. When I leave, I'll take with me, The memories I hold so dearly. Darling please, try not to miss me. And rest assured I won't forget you. I've always been afraid of goodbyes. Something about you calms me inside. I've never been quite so sure, It's only goodbye till I see you again.

Satellites 04:23
Satellites and shooting stars, she's got me feeling so... far away, in space in time. Gathering speed faster all the time. She showed me things I never knew. And I love here like a hopeless fool. She's got me burning up in her atmosphere, Like a fallen star, Raining down as a solar shower. Gathering speed faster all the time. She's got my heart, and I've got hers too. Right from the start, It's like we always knew. She's the fire that keeps me warm. My bright star that leads me home, Calling me back to her. Like gravity she pulls me, And I won't try to ever leave. She's got me for all time. She's got my heart, and I've got hers too. Right from the start, It's like we always knew.

Empty Shell 03:07
I watch the days go by and barely blink these eyes. I could sleep for weeks and wake up to the same old things. What does this all mean, this feeling of incomplete, When I was sure that I had it all. But I want more. To feel alive, To take the chance to love and lose it all. To say we tried, Despite the fact that we might crash and burn, And burn it all away. Some days I feel just like, just like an empty shell. You place me to your ear, but I can't sing no soothing songs. Cause all my melodies, they come out sounding wrong. And every line I use contradicts the ones before. Cause I want more. To feel alive, To take the chance to love and lose it all. To say we tried, Despite the fact that we might crash and burn, And burn it all away. I've been losing my mind, Waiting for the perfect time. To show you how I feel, I feel for you.

On Your Way 03:17
She's got a taste for drama and heartache. She's got a way of flirting with disaster. She loves like a fool, just for a kiss or two. And hides from the truth, the truth about you. Nobody wants to be alone, A victim of love, crying on their own. Don't lose heart, Please try to restart. You've got so much love left to give. You can't give up. She's got a way of falling for the same trap. Love can be the same as running with your eyes shut. Nobody says the things that they're thinking. Nobody saves the lamb from the slaughter. All she wants is some one to trust. All she needs is somebody's love. Don't lose heart, Please try to restart. You've got so much love left to give. You can't give up. You're on your way to that open door, To leave behind the darkest of days. No second glance, no need to look back. Rest in the thought you're free from the past. She's got a taste for drama and heartache. She's got a way of flirting with disaster.

It's been clear skies for forty days. Looks like that's about to break. Forecast for thunderstorms, I think we're in for more. There's static in the air, Explosions from overhead. No matter what we face, Our love will remain the same. There's nothing better, Than being in love. All this sunshine has been fine. But now things are getting dry. There's warning of a fire. I'm hoping we'll survive. All we could do was to wait. For the clouds to break open and let it rain. All I could do was to pray, That after all our love would remain. There's nothing better, Than being in love. I'd face the storm, I'd walk through fire. Come what may, come what may. There's nothing better, Than being in love.
12.
You and I should rob a bank, Take the cash and make a break, into the night. We could take the first flight, anywhere you want to go. I don't care if we get caught, As long as you are with me, As long as you are with me. I don't care much for rules, As long as you are with me, As long as you are with me. You and I should light a fire, Watch the flames paint the sky. We could dance beneath the fireflies. Watch the world as it melts away. I don't care if we get burned, As long as you are with me, As long as you are with me. I don't care much for pain, As long as you are with me, As long as you are with me. There's no escape from reality, Oh, consequence is following me. And I just don't want to grow up, no not yet. So take my hand, we'll turn our backs, And face towards the yellowing sun. As long as I have you I'll be just fine.

All my years of writing, recording and producing music has lead to this album.
Since the last release of "When did you decide?" I've written many songs and been pulled in many different directions with what I wanted my music to sound like.
Eventually it began to sound like what "Sleepwalking" is now.
I didn't care how many songs were going to be on this album, just as long as they sounded like they belonged together. I finally feel like I have created something I can be proud to call my own, not just a CD worth of songs, but an album of songs that compliment each other.

For a while I thought I was going to do nothing with these songs. I was wary of doing the same thing that bands do all the time... an album launch, sell a few CDs and then see nothing happen. In the end I decided an online release was my best option.

Even though this Album holds the most worth to me in its creation, I would rather be able to give it away to any of my fans for free. Seems a little crazy, sure. But what I would like to ask in return is for you to pass it around and help me get it to new ears.

The album is pay what you want.
If you don't have any money or don't want to pay anything for it,
Just type "$0" and it's yours for free.
If you want to support me in this new album feel free to donate anything you want. It's all very appreciated.

Currently there are no hard copies available, eventually I would like to have some.

There you have it. I really hope that these songs can find a home in your ipods, mp3 players and itunes libraries.
