As I Go Away 04:21
With my back turned I’d like to stay As I go away The ink will stain on this blank page As I go away You say that there’s more to this night So maybe when the circus comes to town I’ll take a ride Maybe I should go away Maybe I should go away Maybe I should go away while you stay here Out on the road Where I start to steer To turn around someday You’ll find me gone Absent from here Well I just couldn’t wait You say that there’s more to this night So maybe when the circus comes to town I’ll take a ride Maybe I should go away Maybe I should go away Maybe I should go away while you stay here With my back turned I’d like to stay As I go away You promised me there was more to this life So on that day the circus is in town I’ll take a ride Maybe I will go away Maybe I will go away Maybe I will go away while you stay here Maybe I will go away while you stay here - K. Hikele

I must have poisoned myself As far as I can tell I must have drank the wrong cup Poured from the wrong well I do not feel so well I must have poisoned myself I must have poisoned myself What did I do wrong? Holding my head high Is not so easily done I do not feel so well I must have poisoned myself I must have poisoned myself What a chemical curse Just when I thought I couldn’t feel much worse I do not feel so well I must have poisoned myself - K. Hikele
3.
Don’t look so sad to other people Because it’s right in your heart Where your beauty lies Don’t look so sad to other people It’s right in your heart It’s right in your heart The best of intentions won’t harm you Because it’s you with the brightest bulb in your eyes Don’t look so sad to other people It’s all in you It’s all in you You’re living in a world Where you’re worried all the time You’re trying to change a world Where you cannot change your mind Don’t look so sad to other people Because its right in your heart Where your beauty lies Don’t look so sad to other people It’s right in your heart It’s right in your heart - K. Hikele

Hiding 02:45
What is it that you can’t tell me What is it that you must hide Why exactly are you fighting What it is that lies inside So what is it that you can’t tell me? What is it that you must hide? While this globe is slowly turning I throw my anchor out to climb To the bottom of the ocean Out of the light is where I’ll hide So what is it that you can’t tell me? What is it that you must hide? - K. Hikele

One day when the well runs dry And I read it in the headlines One day when the well runs dry I will stand on the roadside Someday when the well runs dry One day when the well runs dry Will it bring a tear to my eye? One day when the well runs dry And I write it on a billboard sign To let everybody know that the well runs dry Someday when the well runs dry One day when the well runs dry I will read it in the headlines One day when the well runs dry I will stand on the roadside Someday when the well runs dry One day when the well runs dry Will I be of a happier mind? One day when the well runs dry Will I be of a happier mind? - K. Hikele

I am going to try to take it in All that I take for granted I am going to try and sink right in To the beauty that I’m handed I am going to try to hold onto your hand But I cannot hold it in the absence of sin So I am going to try to fix all of the regret that I am Why oh why did I try to sink into the scenery? And abandon all my thoughts Of what you meant to me I should have tried to hold onto your hand But I was too tied in making amends Oh I am going to try to fix all of the regret that I am - K. Hikele
7.
So I will take all my troubles today And put them in a box to throw them away For me to know what it feels like to really be at home And what it feels like to be safe Now I know what it feels like to really be at home So I will try to call when I’m away to say goodnight Or smile when I leave just to say goodbye Would you tell me what is easier than living and breathing When you are standing by Now I know what it feels like to really be at home - K. Hikele

Out of the gate Oh, you couldn’t wait for this To open this cage It isn’t safe how you’ll pay for this I couldn’t say to you, you couldn’t say to me But I think that we both agree where this is heading to And it’s morning again It doesn’t feel like one thats come before If this doesn’t end I’m sure my body will sink into this floor Sink into this floor that’s beneath my feet You’ve walked across a hundred times And now I should start to reach For something on the other side Everything you’re looking for is right here In front of your eyes, calling to your ears Everything you’re looking for is right here In front of your eyes, calling to your ears Out of the gate Oh, you could not resist To settle on fate And change the past in front of this I couldn’t say to you, you couldn’t say to me But I think that we both agree where this is heading to Everything you’re looking for is right here In front of your eyes, calling to your ears Everything you’re looking for is right here In front of your eyes, calling to your ears - K. Hikele
