Disenchanted

I’ve got suspicions and I’ve got my doubts
But I’ve gone too far and I think that I’ve found
I’ve got the words but I can’t make a sound
It’s you that I can’t stand to be around
I cannot help think that something is off
We used to touch but now we barely talk
We’ve faded into desperation blues
I guess I’ve grown disenchanted with you
I guess I’ve grown disenchanted with you
Now I am seeing visions and signs
My hands are shaking as I close my eyes
Nothing prepared me for what you could do
Guess I’ve grown disenchanted with you
I guess I’ve grown disenchanted
I guess I’ve grown disenchanted with you
I guess I’ve grown disenchanted with you
Ohhhh with you
Ohhhh with you
Ohhhh with you
Ohhhh

Your lovely seeds are planted darling
And now they got to grow my love
Tender flowers and leaves are starting
Planted here in winter’s gloves
Oh oh ohhhh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh ohhhh
Oh oh oh
I don’t wanna let go of your hand
Or feel this empty cold and grey
We said forever we would walk this land
Till the darkness takes our breath away
Oh oh ohhhh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh ohhhh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh ohhhh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh ohhhh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Ghost

Hmmmmm hmmmmm
I can see your fingers
wrapped up in themselves
As the stillness lingers
I talk to myself
In my head I have the
perfect words to say
But before I speak them
you float away ayyy ayyy
I can feel your thoughts
all wrapped up in themselves
Maybe we are drifting
continental shelves
You were staring now
your eyes are just a haze
As the seconds feel like
hours feel like days
Restless drifting on
I’ll sing a sacred song
No-ones coming for me here
Breathless walking on
Conclusions all foregone
No more talking, disappear
Like a ghost
Like a ghost
Something tells me I am
never looking back
Does this mean my
heart is turned to black?
Now my cards are stacked
up for the final hand
Letting go of you,
sifting you like sand
Restless drifting on
I’ll sing a sacred song
No-ones coming for me here
Breathless walking on
Conclusions all foregone
No more talking disappear
Restless drifting on
I’ll sing a sacred song
No-ones coming for me here
Breathless walking on
Conclusions all foregone
No more talking disappear
Like a ghost
Like a ghost
Like a ghost
Like a ghost
Like a ghost

Misunderstanding
03:48
|
|||
|
If you are innocent
why do you pretend nothing was said?
Cutting through my defences
I haven’t had a second chance so I fled
Why do you strut around
thinking that you’re better than you are?
Now I’ve got nowhere to run
and no one here can see my lonely heart
Isn’t it amazing what a single word can do for
Misunderstanding
You don’t have the facts
Misunderstanding
You wish you could retract
I hope your bags are packed
How could you be my friend
when all along you plotted my demise?
Is this how you pay me back?
For all my friendship you riddle me with lies?
Where did you think I’d go?
I haven’t got a single place to hide
Next time you see my face
you better look me straight into my eyes
Misunderstanding
You don’t have the facts
Misunderstanding
You wish you could retract
Misunderstanding
I hope your bags are packed
Cuz there’s no turning back
Now I know what you got wrong
Stuck your nose where it don’t belong
If you’d asked I’d let you in
But now it seems we’ve
reached the end and
Misunderstanding
You’re on the attack
Misunderstanding
What is it you lack?
Misunderstanding
Why can’t you just relax?
Misunderstanding
I’ll be making tracks
Now there’s no turning back

Silence, Diamonds
04:41

Silence, diamonds
in this room
Silence I’m spent,
on regrets and doom
Silence, diamonds
it sparkles so bright
Oh darling I’m the silent one
and you’re the silent type
Oceans like barricades that I cannot cross
Endless and drifting and I am at a loss
To tell you plainly that I cannot fit in
But you cannot hear me
cuz you will not begin
Silence, diamonds
in this room
Silence I’m spent,
on regrets and doom
Silence, diamonds
it sparkles so bright
Oh darling I’m the silent one
and you’re the silent type
Ooooooohh mmm mmm
Reruns are comforting
because the outcomes are known
Waves of sound and sight
that made the show
And I’m not the one to fix it here,
who thinks he knows it all
But I’d sure like to be the one
to break your fall
Silence, diamonds
in this room
Silence I’m spent,
on regrets and doom
Silence, diamonds
it sparkles so bright
Oh darling I’m the silent one
and you’re the silent type
Oh darling I’m the silent one
and you’re the silent type

I Remain
04:37
|
|||
|
If these skies could speak
Put voice to my shame
I know what they’d say
What you're fearing
mmm
If these stars were sweet
Then they’d hide my face
But they all call my name
When you’re near me
mmm mmm
I’m afraid we’ll drift into the blue sky
I’ll fade away
And I’m delayed in telling you what I need to
And I’ll stay the same
But you’ll float on while I remain
If the voice in my brain
Could just speak out your name
You’d know my heart was true
But I’m voiceless next to you
And this fear I know
Then the tears start to flow
They’ll come tumbling down
With your choices mmm
With your choices
I’m afraid we’ll drift into the blue sky
I’ll fade away
And I’m delayed in telling you what I need to
I’ll stay the same but you’ll float on
And I’m afraid we’ll drift into the blue sky
And I’ll fade away mmm
And I’m delayed in telling you what I need to
And I’ll stay the same
But you’ll float on while I remain
Yeah you’ll float on while I’ll remain
Mmm mmmm mmm mmmm

Not Half Alive
02:58
|
|||
|
I’m not half alive, half alive, I’m not
I’m not half alive, half alive
I’m all gone, I’m all gone
I’m not gonna lie, gonna lie, gonna lie
I’m not gonna lie, gonna lie, lie to you
One more tiny step till we reach the top
And I never come down
One more step and we never come back
Over hill over dale we run
I’m not gonna lie down here in your shadow
In your arms
I’m not coming home

Hallelujah Lights
03:30
|
|||
|
There is a darkness over the face of the earth
And clouds of thunder crown the sky
I feel my chest tight like I cannot breathe
But then it opens up I feel relief
Hallelujah lights pushing through the darkness
Hallelujah lights hope to heal this hearts mess
Hallelujah lights pushing through the darkness
Hallelujah lights hope to heal this hearts mess
And when I can’t seem to get it right
I see the hallelujah lights
There’s a light breaking through the darkness
And drops of rain falling to the ground
I see the sun creep and cut through the dark clouds above
Gives me hope that you’re around
When I see those
Hallelujah lights they’re pushing through the darkness
Those hallelujah lights there’s hope to heal this hearts mess
Hallelujah lights pushing through the darkness
Oh those hallelujah lights hope to heal this hearts mess
And when I can’t seem to get it right
I see the hallelujah
I see the hallelujah
I see the hallelujah lights

I Walk This Path
02:27
|
|||
|
I walk this path I walk it long
I walk this path I’ve walked alone
And so I ask, I ask for help
From you
I walk the road my feet are worn
My sides they ache my heart is torn
This path is dark and strewn with thorns
I walk this path but I’m not alone
I’m not alone
Friends like water in wastelands of weakness
Friends like healing from the fates that release us
Friends so honest so true that keep us
Friends that put me on my feet again as I
I walk this road again I tread
I walk alone till this day ends
And I’m with you through thick and thin
I thank the Lord I call you friend
I call you friend
I call you friend
I call you friend

Make Believe

Garret is as adept at mixing sounds as he is at playing them together in beautiful, swirling counterpoints. His latest album is a sound to behold. Highly recommended.
