Taken 02:41
Taken Away from where I came, it's not the same Suffocating in this type of life, is it worth my time It's not for me but it works for you I've wasted my whole life searching for something true I want to know what is real, what I'm supposed to feel If I could see what you see, there might be something here for me And then you want to take more, of what I almost had So I want to know what is real, before it's all been taken It wasn't my intention, to make you feel Like this was real, 'Cause I need to leave To a place where I, can call home The only place in this world where I am not unknown

The Writer 04:44
The Writer My trashcan is filled with sentences, that will go nowhere My pens are constantly running out of ink But how hard can it be, to write what I feel But I guess, I still don't know what's hidden deep inside, what do I have to hide Can someone throw me a key I'm locked in the prison I have built My dream keeps pushing me Could this song free me Can someone throw me a key No man should live this way My dream keeps drowning me but I'll hold on to it anyway Now I'm starring at a blank page Does this mean I don't feel a thing I have so many things to say but they don't come out right everyday's the same but I can't seem to change but do I really need to And if I fail at least, I could say that I have tried Waiting for something good, I know it's going to change Just believe in me, these chains I'm about to break I'll prove that this is hard, but it can be overcome Just believe in you, and if you do you'll break through There's something in my heart, that is screaming to get out With broken chains around me I'd like to see you try me Freedom isn't free is this my destiny Writing these words makes me feel free

Empty 03:27
Empty I try and nothing, nothing makes you smile I die and no one, no one knows where you are So fly if you must if you can if I don't please you anymore So cry if it's tough if it's rough if I'm not what you're looking for So lie when I ask you please tell me the truth Inside nothing's left where my heart used to be So fly if you must if you can if I don't please you anymore So cry if it's tough if it's rough if I'm not what you're looking for

Make it Right You know it still hurts Because you are just like me You disapoint me so Because you could make me whole I still holdon to the times when we used to be so much more And now a phone call is out of the question 'Cause you think you know who I am, But you don't But it doesn't make it right If you try and your heart isn't there You know it doesn't make it right To give me these pointless compliments I tried to make it right But somehow you've decided to make your life less interesting Don't try to make it right 'Cause you'll never make it in time You know it will hurt Because I am just like you I guess you don't know yourself too well Or maybe you don't love who you are But on second thoughts I know it's impossible I guess I've lost control I haven't showed you who I am But it doesn't make it right If you try and your heart isn't there You know it doesn't make it right To give me these pointless compliments I tried to make it right But somehow you've decided to make your life less interesting Please try to make it right Before we both run out of time
5.
Found 03:43
Found Undecided is it time it's kind of hopeless, in my mind No doors no windows near, this futur isn't clear Alone to walk this road, listening to what I wrote And do you care if I make it at all Where should I wait for you Will you even show if I sing hard enough Will it tell you that you mean that much I'm decided it is time This pretty girl caught my eye No tricks no games no pain you made me love again With you I walk this road, listen to what we wrote Now I know you care, if I make it at all Nothing could be more true That love that you still show, is more than enough To tell me that you are the one
6.
Dark and Lonely Heart Would it make a difference if I'd change Sorry to tell you this but you won't make it happen I will survive despite all this pain What does it mean to you if I try, if I die Can someone make me feel like I should hold on Can someone convince me that there is more to live for The space you left inside my heart has rotten, deteriorated Soon all there will be left is a dark and lonely heart Do you have anything inside your heart for me if you did I don't think I could take it Something inside me wants to explode and tell you off But the fact that you don't listen kind of makes it hard Can someone make me feel like I should hold on Can someone convince me that there is more to live for The space you left inside my heart has rotten, deteriorated Soon all there will be left is a dark and lonely heart A dark and lonely heart And you know, it wasn't right for me or meant to be I'm still trying to make you see Oh no, you'll never know you had to go it'll never be like before 'Cause now all this hate all this pain Will keep you far away Now my heart, is in the dark there's no more spark You can't go back to the start

Storm in the Ocean Trying to outsmart the waves, that have been pushing me Drowning in salty water, I can't swim forever This preasure tormenting me, are making these lungs useless They'll find me deep in the ocean, if I can't find the answers to this mess So calm the ocean and help me find the shore Help me take control of this world that keeps Blowing waves over my head Wondering what else could be said My body is freezing can someone rescue me I'm screaming waiting to be heard But no one's near to save me I'll have to give all I have left inside 'Cause I want to live, I don't want to die So calm the ocean and help me find the shore Help me take control of this world that keeps Blowing waves over my head Can't remember what you said But now it's time for me to say enough of this I choose my own path no storm will ever change that Well I think I can calm the ocean

War 04:21
War Bullets flying in the air I wonder where they're coming from How long will I last in this nightmare Explosion blowing everywhere I don't know if I'll make it home Hope this letter lets you know Hope this letter reaches you But will you cry? We're not supposed to be this way So many dies New tombstone everyday Why can't we stop And say we have to change Admit that we're wrong So now we can turn the page 2 weeks left and then it's done No more bombs and no more guns I hope I can make it until then This battle isn't for a man I said I'm coming home but I can't Hope this letter lets you know And if I would've survive I would've lived my life for you I'm sorry that I didn't make it throught But I will be with you always I will look over you I hope this letter lets you know I'm bleeding all the blood I have The light I see is calling me I still don't know what all of this was for Lying in this field of death These last words are my last breath This was my last war
9.
My Perspective Walking back home in this so called storm That has been going on in my head for too long Wasting my days by thinking what is next I think I might call it a day My batteries are dead nothing has to be said I can't get myself up I'll just cry instead Everything's wrong what's the point to go on So much has changed how long have I been gone I know that I can, I know that I can Make it home if I try I know that I can, I know that I can, I know that I will Make it there somehow Exhausted from jumping through hoops That I lit on fire myself Now my whole body bursts into flames Is it normal if I don't care? When will I smile for real When will I start to feel Home now I feel reborn And clouds no more
10.
What is this heart for What is this heart for, I must be missing something Why is it so hard, to feel okay Am I so bad, would you rather have me disapear? I used to be much better, maybe it's because you're here I think I'm trying to hard maybe I should let go 'Cause everytime I see you I feel like you should know That everytime I close my eyes I see your eyes It's not in my nature but I will let go What is you're heart for, if you keep ignoring The songs I wrote for you, did they mean anything? Am I so bad, or can we blame it on fear? I can't keep waiting, until you see clear What is this heart for, I think I'll never know

Pourquoi 03:51
Pourquoi Pourquoi j'm'emporte dans un monde que j'contrôle pas Encore une victime de ce jeu fou, qui me blesse tant Tellement de belles choses qui passent lentement, Mais j'prends pu l'temps J'aimerais découvrir mon morceau manquant, Même si c'est juste pour un instant Encore une fois je vais tout essayer Même si ca risque de tout tomber J'donne mon cent pour cent Rien va m'changer, arrache mon coeur avec ton sourire, J'vais quand même rêver Pourquoi tu t'emportes en direction, de ton malheur Une autre victime de ce jeu fou, qui me blesse encore Un beau matin ensoleillé, pourrait tout changer Un ciel nuageux un fou courageux, pourrait quand même aimer Pourquoi tout donner Si tu t'en fous

Who are you 04:11
Who Are You I'm still walking around Searching for something to make me smile Now I've fallen to the ground I've walked over one million miles You think it was effortless for me to get here Without a simple I love you to keep me from hating myself You know this kind of makes me wounder who are you You know I've given up 'cause I can't take it anymore A constant reminder that I am not be enough, is too much Bring on the fog and the rain 'Cause now I'm addicted to pain I just stand in the middle of the highway No reason to move Nothing matters today

about

When I write songs, I talk about my personal experiences as much as possible because I believe that most people faces what I have to face in life which makes my lyrics feel like they are the listeners lyrics.
I love when I can relate to a song and this album is full of those.

I can also write about a situation I would never imagine myself being stuck in, but sadly it does happen to others and I love to write about those things so that we can appreciate what we have and think of the less fortunate out of respect and try to inspirer an helping hand.

I believe the scariest place to be in this world is anywhere that there is a war going on. So my song War puts me in the shoes of a soldier who is writing a farewell letter to his wife. In the process I am trying to change our ways, to cheer up the wife I left alone on this earth and to try to understand the logic of war.

Now for the name of the album, The Writer, which is the song on track number two, is all about me as a songwriter and every other songwriters who is struggling in life to reach their goals of making a living with their own songs. I feel like I could've done so much more in my life if I would've never picked up my first guitar, but I'm not a person who chooses easy roads and I live my life with no regrets. Music is not only something I do, but it is who I am now and I am more proud of that than a steady pay check from a job that I hate. In the song, I say that my dreams are pushing me and drowning me which is pretty much how I feel about the struggle to make the general public hear my work and really listen to it. In the bridge I try to encourage other songwriters to keep working hard on their dreams because it is very rewarding to be able to do what we do.
My ultimate dream that I talk about in the chorus is to make people feel better by listening to my music and lyrics so that I can help them overcome whatever heartache they are having in their lives like my favourite band Staind did for me when I needed it. If I can pay new guitar strings with the albums I sell to keep writing songs for fans who supports me and sings my lyrics louder than the speakers on my live shows, then I could say that I have reached my goal. And I will cherish it when I get there. Because that's the rewarding part of taking the hard road.
