Imma smoke my mind away
Pounding heart, can’t feel my face
Imma ghost in a lonesome place
Those I love can’t help today
Imma fiend for a drug to take
Close to the edge I see heaven’s gate
I’m alone and I know it’s late
Cold and calm I want to breakdown
And you are the one on my mind now
So when are you gonna com home now?
Cause you’re the one on my mind now
When your gone I lose all faith
On my own I don’t know what’s safe
I just long for a place to sleep
Your side of the bed keeps me awake
When it’s empty my heart breaks
I know that no-one can fill the space
Some nights I swear I feel you there
But I open my eyes and you disappear
So Rose, when you coming home?
Cause I’m alone and you’ve been gone for long enough
So Rose, when you coming home?
How come the lord took you and left me on my own
The days are dragging
Another one has passed me by
My eyes stay open
Another sleepless lullaby
So I count that second hand
On our old grandfather clock
For as long as I can stand
Oh I know that I can walk
But the walks don’t feel the same
With only my feet on the ground
How my empty hands now shake
It was you that used to calm me down
And you are the one on my mind now
So when are you gonna come home now
Cause you’re the one on my mind now
So Rose, when you coming home?
Cause I’m alone and you’ve been gone for long enough
So Rose, when you coming home
How come the lord took you and left me on my own (x2)

Paradise

When we were kids, riding our bikes
Remember how we used to fly
Up and down roads, cruising all night
Man it felt like paradise
I don’t want you thinking I’m not feeling alright
But I’m not feeling alright
I wanna look into your eyes and remember the time
When we were in paradise
When we were young, forever ago
Remember how we used to love the snow
Now all we ever want is to avoid the cold
Maybe we’re getting old
We never thought the day would come
When we would feel alone,
Alone in each others arms
Do think we keep hiding behind old smile lines
To remind us of paradise
I don’t want you thinking I’m not feeling alright
But I’m not feeling alright
I wanna look into your eyes remember the time
When we were in paradise
Those are the days and those are the memories
I will hope to keep with age
I wanna believe it wasn’t for nothing
Please don’t let it be a waste
I don’t want you thinking I’m not feeling alright
But I’m not feeling alright
I wanna look into your eyes remember the time
When we were in paradise (x2)
You remind me of paradise (x4)

After Life

All I am is a rolling stone
All I have will slowly erode
Time isn't kind when you get old
The body gets brittle as we near the end
Fading away like the days we've spent
Trying to find the slightest sign of meaning
Oh I always came up empty handed
But take me away to a better place
Make me believe that no one truly leaves
Tell me that faith is what will set us free
So I can explain how it won't change a thing
Don't you know it won't change a thing
It won't change a thing
All I want is another chance
But all we get is one shot at this
Life is a test that can't be rewritten
It seems with your answers more questions are brought
The cancer of thought will bring you closer to God
And all that we're left with is all that we're taught
Oh how much longer can this go on
So take me away to a better place
Make me believe that no one truly leaves
Tell me that faith is what will set us free
So I can explain how it won't change a thing
I think if seeing is believing
Then I believe that your beliefs are leading us blind
I think if seeing is believing
Then I believe that your beliefs are leading us blind
But I hope you are right
And I hope I am wrong
Cause an after life
Is an easier pill to swallow
Than knowing everything will be gone
