written across nearly a decade, sleepwalker traces a journey through love, loss, growth, and reconciliation.
the album became a conversation between my younger and older selves, and a search for peace within the human condition.

i heard i heard
a strange word
can’t stop running running
won’t stop running for our lives lives
curtains coming coming
closing right before my eyes
what a thing to do
i long to be the arms around the world
yes i long to be the arms around the world
is there such a thing to do
to do
you hurt you hurt
for a strange world
can’t stop running running
won’t stop running for our lives lives
curtains coming coming
closing right before my eyes
what a thing to do
i long to be the arms around the world
yes i long to be the arms around the world
is there such a thing to do
to do
is there such a thing to do

open up your eyes tell me what you see
oh a taste of love that can no longer be
but i know someday
someday you’ll return to me
you’ll return you’ll return you’ll return to me
someday we could be as one
we could be we could be we could be as one
the pain of knowing why my heart is blue
it’s longing to be close to you
i know you’re long gone
but i get a funny feeling that someday
someday you’ll return to me
you’ll return you’ll return you’ll return to me
someday we could be as one
we could be we could be we could be as one
did you ever notice how much i cared
will you ever be my person again
oh i hope that someday
someday you’ll return to me
you’ll return you’ll return you’ll return to me
someday we could be as one
we could be we could be we could be as one
someday you’ll return to me
you’ll return you’ll return you’ll return to me
someday we could be as one
we could be we could be we could be as one

give yourself a chance to learn to love again
when all seems lost you don’t have to start again
i’ll give it all to you thats all that i will do
but the love you gave has slipped away
we tried so hard to fight it
but in the end there's no way you can hide it
i have been the one to accept this fate
and you have been the one that has slipped away it’s true
and there’s nothing that i can do
i have been the one to set you free
and you have been the one to look at me and say
i don’t love you like you do anymore
anymore
anymore
anymore

all my life i’ve died
for what i hope to find
a little peace of mind
for all of my life i have died
for what i hope to find
a little peace of mind
something’s found within your eyes
something i found within your eyes
something’s lost falling into her eyes
for i found the love
in the grace of loosing it all
i am left far behind
and found my peace in loosing my mind
all my life i’ve died
for what i hoped to find
a little peace of mind
for all of my life
for what i hoped to find
has left behind

hello, hello i know you need someone
i know, i know i'm such a fool as one

paris paris
is where i long to be
with you and me
where i belong
the spaces that echo of you
only if you want me to
with just one look
into my eyes and i say my goodbyes
to the girl i love
for my demise will forever disguise
where i belong
the spaces that echoed of you
hoping that you felt it too
cause with just one look
into your eyes i can say my goodbyes to you
paris paris
was where i longed to be
with you and me

looking once and for all
is all my life’s come to
stuck inside for hours
thinking about you
cause i oh i want to be near you
cause i oh i can’t pretend
i’m alright
hold me love me
pretend that i am yours
who do you expect me to be
i want to be him
i see your face inside the photo of my mind
i hear your voice it’s sound it every lullaby
yes but now its true
my heart no longer beats for you
as now i have to be but a memory

i see the glass as half empty
i know that it’s pessimistic but i can't help it
when you get broken its hard to be, optimistic
speaking of broken i am in pieces
i can try to pick them up
i can try to fill that cup
but it ain’t worth it
at the end of the day, when you feeling grey
i am there to help you but
you didn’t do the same
you walked away
like a glass half full you left me half empty
like a glass half i didn’t see plenty
i’m not mad i’m just disappointed
are you happy cause i’m not happy now
all i’d ever want is a home
all i’d ever want is to feel whole
all i’d ever want is you, is you
so don’t walk away
i want to see you again
don’t set me stray
cause i’ll need you forever
don’t walk away
cause i’ll need you i’ll need you now
so don’t make me wait
cause i’ll be here for the rest of my days

i just want to love you
but that’s never what you’ll need oh please don’t let me go
i know it’s never what you wanted
hold my hand i could’ve held yours too
if you’d let me in
i find the melodies are blue
when love of mine it wears a mask of you
my luck has finally run dry
still the shadows recite their lines behind the eyes
and will the band remember me when it’s too late
the thought of an endless escape when i can’t concentrate
your time has come now i must be moving on (moving on)
and i don’t know where time will go
in the sun all lies will grow then maybe i can breath (please help me to breathe)
i don’t know if hope will show
in the sun you will be known only then you will you see (open your eyes)
he just wants to hold you (like you used to do)
but that’s never what you’ll need oh please don’t leave alone
i know it’s never what you wanted
hold his hand he could’ve held yours to
you left him blue
i want you to know that i’m not yours
refuse all you know and act all surprised
i want you to know that i’m not yours
refuse all you know and act all surprised

did you ever wonder
what it’s like to feel afraid (holding on to your last breath)
did you ever wonder
what it’s like to be alone (naturally alone again)
is it too late to try again (oh no)
is it too late to know (is it too late to know)
is it too late to be again
for we’re not going home
for we’re not going home (it’s too late your home is gone)
is it too late to feel again
knowing what we know (come back to me)
is it too late to know what’s real
knowing what we are (sleepwalking in the dead of night)
come back to me
why don’t you come back to me
why don’t you come back to me
for we’re not going home
for we’re not going home

ooh i wanna know where i belong
in my time i’ve tried
to change only to be told
to abide between the lines
of a one way life
i wanna know
will it sail or will it grow
there’s only so much
time to do the impossible (impossible)
what do you know (what this love is all about)
about the times of old
will ya bring love to all that feel cold (one way life)
ooh i wanna know belong (we’re in the one way life)
ooh we wanna know where we belong
know who sings our song
know before to long
this life goes on and it goes on (we’re taking one way life)
in your time you’ve tried
to change only to be told
to abide to the sign of the times
of a one way life (i’m taking a dive)
what can you do (when your mind is filled with doubt)
about the times of new
will ya bring love to all that feel blue (one way life)
ooh i wanna know belong (here in the one way life)
ooh we wanna know where we belong
know who sings our song
before to long this life goes on and it goes on (were taking one way life)
you feel you’ve accomplished something this week?
i think we got the message roger and i think the message is catching on the peace message chirp don’t you think so chirp
we will bring about a new day of justice and brotherhood and peace
that day the morning stars will sing together and the sons of god will shout for joy
god bless you
any final message
peace in your mind peace on earth peace at work peace at home peace in the world
do you think that there is threat from the military and what do we do
what will it be
will we give or will we grieve
there’s only so my much time
to live a one way life
for all of love kind
it’s time for change
give peace a chance
for all of love kind
it’s time for change
give peace a chance
for all of love kind
it’s time for change
give peace a chance
