So we boarded up the windows and we’ve taken down the lights
From the streets I hear the echoes
Yeah we’re leaving town tonight
We don’t need no medication, we’ve got all our vital signs
All this noise and light pollution, I just wanna see the stars tonight
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
Until we find that emerald sky
Now there’s plastic in the valley
There’s still heartache in the ghetto
I need to talk to someone face to face this place
No it doesn’t feel like home
We don’t need no medication, we’ve got all our vital signs
All this noise and light pollution
I just wanna see the stars tonight
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
I hope we find that emerald....
I’m gonna find that place that we forgot
Where I don’t care about the money you’ve got
Where I don’t need much cuz it don’t take a lot
We’re gonna go…
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
Until we find that emerald sky
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
I hope we find that emerald sky
Look up look down, oh, from the heaven to the ground…
Coming Up Lyrics – Brendan James
Out on the roof overlooking the bright lights of Brooklyn
Thinkin’ ‘bout what I could lose and what I should save
I’ll be the first one to say I was caught up in something
Something so bad it was wasting our good life away
And it really broke me down but it’s getting better now
I’m coming up
Out of the wreckage
To show you this love is still good enough
It’s there if you let it
I’m coming up
I hope you can see it
What held me down is leaving me now
Say you can feel it
Down to the courtyard below I decide to start walking
With the sun on my face and a light in my heart again
I get to your door and I stop just before knocking
I take a deep breath and I say “this is where we begin”
Yeah I’m feeling better now
I’m coming up
Out of the wreckage
To show you this love is still good enough
It’s there if you let it
I’m coming up
I hope you can see it
What held me down is leaving me now
Say you can feel it
Try as you did, love, the course we were on was unsteady
Love’s hard to do when one of the two falls apart
I’m coming up
Out of the wreckage
To show you this love is still good enough
It’s there if you let it
I’m coming up
I hope you can see it
What held me down is leaving me now
Say you can feel it
Say you can feel it
Thinkin’ ‘bout what I could lose and what I should save
I’ll be the first one to say I was caught up in something
Something so bad it was wasting our good life away
And it really broke me down but it’s getting better now
I’m coming up
Out of the wreckage
To show you this love is still good enough
It’s there if you let it
I’m coming up
I hope you can see it
What held me down is leaving me now
Say you can feel it
Down to the courtyard below I decide to start walking
With the sun on my face and a light in my heart again
I get to your door and I stop just before knocking
I take a deep breath and I say “this is where we begin”
Yeah I’m feeling better now
I’m coming up
Out of the wreckage
To show you this love is still good enough
It’s there if you let it
I’m coming up
I hope you can see it
What held me down is leaving me now
Say you can feel it
Try as you did, love, the course we were on was unsteady
Love’s hard to do when one of the two falls apart
I’m coming up
Out of the wreckage
To show you this love is still good enough
It’s there if you let it
I’m coming up
I hope you can see it
What held me down is leaving me now
Say you can feel it
Say you can feel it

All I Can See Lyrics – Brendan James
I want to walk through this doorway
I want to open my mind
I want to pledge my allegiance to all I can find
I want a car that will crash trough the barrier
To a road no one knows
I want to feel less control on the bend and I
Want to land far from home
The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is the perfect lesson of how it should be
So if I cannot learn to journey and return
To never rest till I've seen all I can see
I want to learn a completely new language,
One I don't understand
I want to help someone lost, someone helpless
With the strength of my hand
I want to come to the base of a statue built
Before they counted the years
And there I'll fall with my face in my hands
And cry and feel their hope in my tears
The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is the perfect lesson of how it should be
So if I cannot learn, to journey and return
To never rest till I've seen all I can see
Train rides and pastures colliding
Colors and customs I've never seen
I know I, yes I know I,
I know I will stumble, but,
Time is precious my friend
Those who journey can easily understand
The more they see, the more they'll learn,
The more that they will be
So this I swear to you, and this I swear to me
I'll never rest till I've seen all I can see
No, I'll never rest till I've seen all I can see
I want to know where the stength of a person lies,
In their past or their future
Is it in the way that they hurt
Or they love themselves, or is it all an illusion?
I want to crawl from this skin that I'm painted in
Body, please let it give
I want to find the creator of all good things,
Ask what it means to live
I want to open my mind
I want to pledge my allegiance to all I can find
I want a car that will crash trough the barrier
To a road no one knows
I want to feel less control on the bend and I
Want to land far from home
The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is the perfect lesson of how it should be
So if I cannot learn to journey and return
To never rest till I've seen all I can see
I want to learn a completely new language,
One I don't understand
I want to help someone lost, someone helpless
With the strength of my hand
I want to come to the base of a statue built
Before they counted the years
And there I'll fall with my face in my hands
And cry and feel their hope in my tears
The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is the perfect lesson of how it should be
So if I cannot learn, to journey and return
To never rest till I've seen all I can see
Train rides and pastures colliding
Colors and customs I've never seen
I know I, yes I know I,
I know I will stumble, but,
Time is precious my friend
Those who journey can easily understand
The more they see, the more they'll learn,
The more that they will be
So this I swear to you, and this I swear to me
I'll never rest till I've seen all I can see
No, I'll never rest till I've seen all I can see
I want to know where the stength of a person lies,
In their past or their future
Is it in the way that they hurt
Or they love themselves, or is it all an illusion?
I want to crawl from this skin that I'm painted in
Body, please let it give
I want to find the creator of all good things,
Ask what it means to live
Hero's Song Lyrics – Brendan James
Here I am
In the desert again
A compass and a weapon
A lost American
I started out with a simple plan
And a locket in my hand
But the sun so unforgiving
And the wind so hard to stand
Fall out, fall out
With the rest of your brothers
With the rest of your sisters
Heroes on the line
Carry out what your leader says
For what his leader says
Is that his leader says
This is right for the people
No one will ever understand why
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
Young statues must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
No I cannot live
Doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I cannot die this way
In the water, in the sand
Is the blood of a culture
Is the blood of an ancient people
In whose holy war I stand
I hear the world like a cannon roar
Say I can't win this war
I promise them this is
Not what I signed up for
No one will ever understand why
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
Young statues must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
No, I cannot live
Doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I cannot die this way
No one will ever understand why
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
Young soldiers must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
I cannot live
With your doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I will not die this way
In the desert again
A compass and a weapon
A lost American
I started out with a simple plan
And a locket in my hand
But the sun so unforgiving
And the wind so hard to stand
Fall out, fall out
With the rest of your brothers
With the rest of your sisters
Heroes on the line
Carry out what your leader says
For what his leader says
Is that his leader says
This is right for the people
No one will ever understand why
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
Young statues must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
No I cannot live
Doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I cannot die this way
In the water, in the sand
Is the blood of a culture
Is the blood of an ancient people
In whose holy war I stand
I hear the world like a cannon roar
Say I can't win this war
I promise them this is
Not what I signed up for
No one will ever understand why
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
Young statues must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
No, I cannot live
Doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I cannot die this way
No one will ever understand why
Thousands of beautiful, healthy,
Young soldiers must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
I cannot live
With your doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I will not die this way
Early April Morning Lyrics – Brendan James
There used to be nothing in common
There used to be nothing to share
It used to be sit by the window
And stare at what used to be there
It used to be lonely in numbers
Impossibly weak on my feet
When the game starts and one person's left out
It used to be me
But that was then and she is now
I once was lost, with her I'm found
On this early April morning
Water falling from the sky
The sun that's breaking fills my eye
Life has changed without a warning
Said there used to be nothing in common
There used to be nothing to share
It used to be sit by the window
And stare at what used to be there
Like a king in his court at his table
Who is blind to the power he holds
I could never come to understand
All the powers I had of my own
But that was then and she is now
I once was lost, with her I'm found
On this early April morning
Water falling from the sky
The sun that's breaking fills my eye
Life has changed without a warning
I trust my love, I trust myself,
I trust the love of someone else
I trust that I will get
I've been hoping, waiting for
The prison walls are crashing down
As winter dies without a sound
On this early April Morning, now
Let the struggle end, the joy begin
It's true, it's love I'm falling in
And it came without a warning, now
And that was then and she is now
I once was lost, with her I'm found
On this early April morning
The water falling from the sky
The sun that's breaking fills my eye
And it came without a warning, now
Without a warning, now
Without a warning, now
There used to be nothing to share
It used to be sit by the window
And stare at what used to be there
It used to be lonely in numbers
Impossibly weak on my feet
When the game starts and one person's left out
It used to be me
But that was then and she is now
I once was lost, with her I'm found
On this early April morning
Water falling from the sky
The sun that's breaking fills my eye
Life has changed without a warning
Said there used to be nothing in common
There used to be nothing to share
It used to be sit by the window
And stare at what used to be there
Like a king in his court at his table
Who is blind to the power he holds
I could never come to understand
All the powers I had of my own
But that was then and she is now
I once was lost, with her I'm found
On this early April morning
Water falling from the sky
The sun that's breaking fills my eye
Life has changed without a warning
I trust my love, I trust myself,
I trust the love of someone else
I trust that I will get
I've been hoping, waiting for
The prison walls are crashing down
As winter dies without a sound
On this early April Morning, now
Let the struggle end, the joy begin
It's true, it's love I'm falling in
And it came without a warning, now
And that was then and she is now
I once was lost, with her I'm found
On this early April morning
The water falling from the sky
The sun that's breaking fills my eye
And it came without a warning, now
Without a warning, now
Without a warning, now
The Other Side Lyrics – Brendan James
I was a child once
The fear of the world in my eyes
Far from the safety of the other side
I colored by numbers
Learned how to tie my own shoes
Like all the others I was just
Prayed I'd make it through
Prayed I would make it through
Oh mother look how your boy turned out
Three hundred miles from that small town
You never stopped believing
Oh daddy, it hurt to watch you walking out
But understand it made me stronger now
And so satisfied, so full of pride
Thank you here from, from the other side
I'll always remember
The kids and how'd mean they'd been
Eleven years old and I could, could not fit in
But I made it through high school
And college according to plan
The pressure was never greater to become a man
Would I become a man?
Oh mother look how your boy turned out
Three hundred miles from that small town
You never stopped believing
Oh daddy, it hurt to watch you walking out
But understand it made me stronger now
And so satisfied, so full of pride
Thank you here from, from the other side
Thank you here from, from the other side
Mother look how your boy turned out
Three hundred miles from that small town
Dad it hurt to watch you walking out
Hear the piano do the crying no
For all the preachers and the teachers, now
For all the ones who never let me down
I'm so satisfied, so full of pride
Standing here on, on the other side
Thank you here from, from the other side
Thank you here from, from the other side
Here on, on the other side I'm taking my time
There's nothing to fear
There's nothing to worry about
On the other side
I remember when I thought I'd never find
The other side
The fear of the world in my eyes
Far from the safety of the other side
I colored by numbers
Learned how to tie my own shoes
Like all the others I was just
Prayed I'd make it through
Prayed I would make it through
Oh mother look how your boy turned out
Three hundred miles from that small town
You never stopped believing
Oh daddy, it hurt to watch you walking out
But understand it made me stronger now
And so satisfied, so full of pride
Thank you here from, from the other side
I'll always remember
The kids and how'd mean they'd been
Eleven years old and I could, could not fit in
But I made it through high school
And college according to plan
The pressure was never greater to become a man
Would I become a man?
Oh mother look how your boy turned out
Three hundred miles from that small town
You never stopped believing
Oh daddy, it hurt to watch you walking out
But understand it made me stronger now
And so satisfied, so full of pride
Thank you here from, from the other side
Thank you here from, from the other side
Mother look how your boy turned out
Three hundred miles from that small town
Dad it hurt to watch you walking out
Hear the piano do the crying no
For all the preachers and the teachers, now
For all the ones who never let me down
I'm so satisfied, so full of pride
Standing here on, on the other side
Thank you here from, from the other side
Thank you here from, from the other side
Here on, on the other side I'm taking my time
There's nothing to fear
There's nothing to worry about
On the other side
I remember when I thought I'd never find
The other side
