| Lyrics: | The love you held inside Was thrown away in all your selfish pride Can you feel the rising tide? Don’t you know that things will change? One day You’ll find You wake up Without your peace of mind The lies sunk underneath your skin And everybody told you they were your friend The whole world cast their vote for you to win But nobody told you that you’d be all alone One day You’ll find You wake up Without your peace of mind One day You’ll see Your ivory world Is not what it seems to be Bridge One day You’ll find You wake up Without your precious peace of mind One day You’ll see Your ivory world Is not what it seems to be And now your fate has changed And all your dreams feel rearranged Don’t you know you’re facing things That all of us have faced before? Alternates And now the end is at your door And you realize you’re not who you were before Don’t you know that you can’t fake it anymore (playing God no more) To see all your dreams be thrown away And now your silver spoon has spun And your words that you hoped to sing are sung But you can’t always be number one So now that things have changed And all your friends they slowly fade away You always thought that you could run home But nobody told you that you’d be all alone You won the world when all your chips were down And your friends would always be around You always thought that you could own this town And now your fate has changed And all your world feels rearranged Don’t you know you’re facing things That all of us have faced before |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
