A Throw Away

 A Throw Away


Just like the first gift you open

That you disregard and discard

So forgotten it was nearly included

In the wrapping remnants left on the floor

I find myself curdling in fetal position

On the same floor waiting to be thrown away 


Get a way, find a way, fade away

Live away, know a way, go away 

Stay away, far away, thrown away


Feeling so inconsequential

Even the refuse crew

Didn’t notice me when

I’m right here 


Just like a flower blooming just 

Before the first autumnal freeze

You don’t notice, much less appreciate it

Even though it’s right there in front of you 

It’s wasting away having wasted so much time 

A waste of potential gone and thrown away 


Get a way, find a way, fade away

Live away, know a way, go away 

Stay away, far away, thrown away


Feeling so inconsequential

Even my whole world now 

Didn’t notice me when

I’m right here 

Just like always

I’m right here

Bound to be

Thrown away.

Anywhere But Home

 Anywhere But Home


“Please wear my jacket” I ask you in the rain

I have no clue about you apart from here and now

You exsude risk with enough abandon that a

Helmet won’t save me from my thoughts 

I feel your pull taking a hold 

Ripping me from all I know 


You can take me away so that we can

R r r ride into the dawn

No matter where when I am with you  

Don’t fear this feeling growing now just

R r r ride with my heart

Into the unknown without a care 


Tell me where exactly are you from? 

Is the open road what you call home? 

I’d like a life like that for my own…

Please take me anywhere but home!


Baby I can let go of what i know 

Live a life full before it’s gone

Experience it all but not alone 

Please just take me anywhere but home


We’re leaving the city

Thinking what I’m leaving

Failed romances, a dead end job

Gloomy weather, no direction 

Even without bad memories

It’s time that I go 

I can see you’re the way I make my great escape 


Let’s only pack just the necessities and

R r r ride out of this town

And throw restraint and fear to the wind

I don’t even want to know I will just

R r r ride to something new

With you by my side nothing matters 


Baby I can let go of what i know 

Life a live full before it’s gone

Experience it all but not alone 

Please take me anywhere but home


Take me anywhere 

Please take me anywhere

Gotta take me anywhere

Take me anywhere but home. 


Even if I journey directionlessly from now on 

I’ll ride fearlessly towards the future with you


Baby I can let go of what i know 

Live a life full before it’s gone

Experience it all but not alone 

Please just take me anywhere but home


Take me anywhere

Please take me anywhere

Gotta take me anywhere

Take me anywhere but home.
