The Alternate Routes Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Endless Conversation

Lyricist:Jay Joyce, Tim Warren

I need a new distraction
Passing all the days and I see that now I'm
Fading like the sun on a windowsill
Some things never change but I know I will

And I'm looking for a new direction
I blame it on a place where I keep my questions
Had enough so long and I ask you why
All I know is indecision

But in this life I find
That there is time enough to take it
But in this life I find
That there is time enough to waste it
On these endless conversations

And I just had to write it down and tell you
Send it in a letter; tell you know that I have
Raided every page in your history
And I thought about what life could be for me

And I'm looking for a new solution
There are some things that I do get used to

Wont you say it if you can if you care for me
Tell me how it is would you talk to me
In this life I find that there is time enough to take it
And in this life I find that there is time enough to waste it
On these endless conversations

Oh, no, no, oh, no, no, oh, no, no, hey
Oh, no, no, oh, no, no, oh, no, no, hey

But in this life I find that there is time enough to take it
And in this life I find that there is time enough to waste it
On these endless conversations


2.Aftermath

Lyricist:Jay Joyce, Tim Warren

Most days I'm burning in a fire
I got a cliche cold staring at my world
But these days the bird is on the wire
Two fingers pull a pen
Half drawn picture of a dream

And here between the writing on the wall
I try to feel forgotten for a while
And it's hard and I get angry all the time
But this is not a life I cannot change

And somewhere in the heart of the aftermath
There's an answer for me
'Cause you could have been anybody on the road to me

You say this time you needed answers
No time for second chances that we wasted long before
And I said you only see the problems
You're too afraid to solve
And so I headed for the door

And here between the writing on the wall
I try to feel forgotten for a while
And it's hard to see the shadow in a man
He is the last to see the light before it hits him where he
stands

And somewhere in the heart of the aftermath
There's an answer for me
'Cause you could have been anybody on the road to me

And all this time your head is numb
And maybe you don't know
Maybe you don't know

And somewhere in the heart of the aftermath
There's an answer for me
'Cause you could have been anybody on the road to me


3.Time Is A Runaway

Lyricist:Jay Joyce, Tim Warren

Roll your windows down
The summer's nearly gone
And only hours stand between you
And the cold that's coming on

And you count your questions
In the sky lit blue
And every color there is
Telling you

Time is a runaway
Coming for you
Time is a runaway
Coming for you

In my dreams I see in red
She cannot stay
And the summer leaves you
Like the girl who gets away

We sit here stranded
In a careless hue
And every color that is
Telling you

Time is a runaway
It's coming for you
Time is a runaway
Coming for you

Time is a runaway
It's coming for you
Time is a runaway
She's coming for you

In the morning when I rise
She's coming on to tell me

Time is a runaway
Coming for you
Time is a runaway
Coming for you

Time is a runaway
Coming for you
Time is a runaway
Coming for you


4.Are You Lonely?

Lyricist:Jay Joyce, Tim Warren

So tell me what it's really like
When it's alright but it's just alright
I watch it get under your skin
And you can't even say what it is

But I know it's not like when you made your peace
With your former life or your dirty sheets
'Cause you're cleaner than you used to be
Everybody wants some company

Are you lonely, love?
Oh and you're the waiting around
For somebody to tell you that it's only love
And that it's better just to let it beat you

So tell me what it's all about
When you figure out that it's harder now
Out of touch now you're out of tune
It's not forever but I'm telling you

That I know love is a hate to bring home
Believe in yourself all alone
You had to slow down for a while
It's always been out of your style

Are you lonely, love?
Oh and you're the waiting around
For somebody to tell you that it's only love
And that it's better just to let it beat you

So tune it out like you always done
Tell me now would you tell the truth
Are you lonely?

Are you lonely, love?
Are you lonely, love?
Are you lonely, love?


5.Carry Me Home

Lyricist:Eric Donnelly, Teddy Morgan, Tim Warren

Lately, the winds have been threatening
Things have been getting so hard to control
But your love is holding me close
Like a rope on a flagpole, it won't let me go
It won't let me go

But you can't stop some poison from spreading
Once it gets let in, it know where to go
And you save me, faster than a heartbeats
Wider then these arms reach
More then you know, more then you know

I've been a miner for gold, on the outskirts of town
And there's no-one like you
I've been a face in the crowd, going without
The likes of somebody who loves me like you do

There's nothing I know now
No way to slow down
I'm drunk on the dance floor
Carry me home, carry me

There's nothing I know now
No way to slow down
I'm drunk on the dance floor
Carry me home, carry me home


6.Desdemona

Desdemona, help yourself
I hear you mourning at the dawn
Desdemona, ask which side
Of all this lying are you on

Did you build yourself a runway?
Did you tell yourself tomorrow?
Did you cry?
And are you dressed in hesitation
when you tell yourself that everything's alright?

Cause I see a distance in your smile
And what your Mondays have become
could be the rest of your life
Desdemona, you're not dead yet
No it's not wrong
If you want everything in life under the sun
Under the sun

Desdemona, you're in love
Do not forget about yourself
Desdemona, bring the people
That you love inside your hell

Cause you are younger in the eyes of those who see you
Please forget about the time
Throw yourself out on these brave and empty branches
In the winter waiting high.

Everybody's out there killing time
But I will be damned to lets you stand here killing mine.
Don't you know we're gonna change a whole world the day
We stop waiting on the world to change

Desdemona, we are not so very different
Do you see?
At the moment braver still
Than what our minds let us believe

Even the walls the will surround you
Somehow steady by your very own hands
I don't know just how to change you
All I know is how to tell you that you can

Cause I'll never tell you how to live
But you keep on telling me
That's just the way it is
Desdemona more then anything I know
Never tell yourself that's just the way it goes
I know it goes
But what do I know
