Everything feels so long ago Like nothing is really real Just a picture in slo-mo So this is how it feels to be in limbo A strange, technicolour vertigo The numbers may change, but the faces remain Now I'm seeing your face inside of my head I will hide behind a wall of sound I won't be found! This is what I hear, when I look inside This is how it feels, to tune into my mind Can't you see how much I want to feel How much I'd like to know What's right and what is real And everything that makes it so If I could only bring myself To let these old walls down If I could see inside Who knows what could be found? Just for once in my life I could hear how it really sounds This is what I hear, when I look inside This is how it feels, to tune into my mind This is what I hear, when I look inside This is how it feels Won't you come along for the ride?

Break Away 04:22
You have the same dream every night You wonder what it's like to really be alive And you just can't seem to figure it out You never get a clue of what it's all about Now I'm listening to all your fears Nothing that I say could help you out of this Let me tell you about what is gone Everything you ever felt or ever saw And now for the surprise It glances into your eyes Can't stop it any more I wanna stop feeling sore! You've gotta learn to live again Stop being scared, don't be afraid Yeah, it's time to break away again Leave it all behind, and fly away Nothing is the same any more Nothing comes your way, just let it go You think it's different, but nothing has changed You gotta start to look inside yourself again
3.
Baby, don't you wonder what might be? Come with me and we will find release Honey, just a glance into your eyes makes my spirit rise Darling, if you laid down by my side I'd be in your gratitude I won't shy away if you won't hide So, baby, tell me true... Do I do it for you? Baby, won't you stiffen my resolve And harden my courage for me and even though my soul, it may be weak I guarantee my flesh is willing
4.
It's so hard to tell between Heaven and Hell It's so hard to feel what's fake and what is real But if you lie with me tonight I might learn my wrong from right You could teach me how to love, how to fend for myself show me things I never figured out with anybody else And I can't help but think of you When that train comes to town And I can't help but wonder Lord, I can't help myself Baby I can't help myself Well, some say I make it hard for myself I fall in love all the time but without love, would life really matter? Without love we'd be living a lie No, I can't help but think of you Even from the slightest sound Yeah, I feel like a King without a crown I really can't help myself And I can't help but think of you When the mail lady comes around Well, I can't help but smile When I fall, I will drown in style Maybe I could lean on you when the world is spinning 'round I'd have the conviction to believe in you While the walls are crumbling down No, I can't help but think of you When the lightning hits the ground It gets me so excited you know, I can't help myself And I can't help but think of you When the last fair deal goes down You know it scares me straight to Hell But I still can't help myself

Shadowrunner (free) 04:50
You're gonna fly head-first to the edge of the earth Just to see what it feels like to fall Drive a hundred miles to the center of the sun And you know I'll be watching it all I'm the one you see When you enter your dreams Don't bother to escape from the nightmare You can try to run To the corners of the world No matter where you go, I'm already there You know I see you Dancing in and out of the mirror My image is distorted And my integrity is smeared Yeah I feel you Shadowing all of my manuevers You shed light on all my secrets And you shatter all of my illusions I can make the water boil I could set your soul on fire But I would never dare to go that far I'll just stand and watch as you live your life I can be a friend, or an enemy Assuming any guise I can see the truth that tears at your soul Simply by looking into your eyes You may see me standing here before you But the eyes can so easily be fooled Listen to my words, let them penetrate you As nothing else ever will...

One I Want 04:06
Bitten my lip in my sleep And I try not to move and I'm falling apart And everything I see is coming back to haunt me I can't help but feel as if nothing feels real And I can't figure out what's happening to me Yeah, I'm wondering why I've been left behind And far away You're the one I want, yeah, you can take me Much farther than I've ever been You're the one I want, through thick and thin and I'll keep on trying 'til you give in, give in Now I wonder do I have a reason for being I can't help but think that there's nothing for me Except for my life and my very own truth And I'm wondering why I've fallen for you I've fallen for you And I can't figure out why I feel so far away No more wasting time, I want to feel alive I want to know what it's like to hold you before I die All that the eye can see must be real When you hold it in your hand can you feel it? Hold out your heart when it hurts, let me heal it As everything you know is true I reveal it And maybe there is no truth, but at least there's a reason And everything unknown remains sealed, somewhere far away

A Triptych 04:46
Always running, never stopping If you care you will show it to me Always running, never stopping If you care, then you won't fail me You've loved for so long, now it's time to Fall into eternal slumber When you'll wake up to the sound of The world drawing down the final curtain Always running, never stopping I'll protect you but I can't stay forever You'll outlast me, the Earth, the cosmos And the universe, and all existence Don't fail me now, you can't let me down Don't try to comprehend unexistence Don't think about how you'll be alone Waking up to Armaggeddon If you listen really closely Can you hear me in your dreams? All of my nightmares revolve in phases From a whisper... to a scream
8.
Visions 03:39
I'm seeing things in the sky Seeing faces in the clouds Yeah I'm seeing visions all around Some of them are silent, and some make sound Someone pinch me, see that I'm not dreaming Cuz I'm seeing something I shouldn't be seeing A star's exploding in the sky It sets your mind ablaze when it hits your eyes I had no chance to get away now that vision will burn me for all time Please tell me can you see what I'm seeing? I need to know it's not just in my mind Can you see it all as it unfolds before us? Doesn't it make you want to cry? Well maybe it's too late to help, but I'll try But either way, this vision's burned into my eyes Wish that I could take the clock and turn back time But now this vision will torment me 'til the end of time!
9.
Well, I just wanted to thank you For putting me out of my misery You took away the only thing that I had when there was nothing left for me Strange how the fates can work their magic A chance meeting in this dark, narrow street And yeah, the Lord works in mysterious ways I guess he was calling on me So thank you once again for ending all of my pain Even if you'll never know my family or my name And may you receive good fortune for the pillage that you take And know that I'll be shining on you from above Every morning, when you wake You may not be a soul of goodness But to me you are a saint And for your actions I will always be grateful For the life that you hath take When you watch over your shoulder Know that I will be there forever Offering guidance and protection In eternal gratitude
10.
Ice Dancer 05:13
You just keep on dancing along You are blissfully unaware That the cracks are starting to show But still you don't have a care From where you stand, the surface seems so strong But I can see where the danger is drawn Follow me, for I can lead you 'cross the water We will glide on through the night, into the dawn Why don't you take a leap of faith? You know you have nothing to lose Why are you so afraid to fall? Because I will catch you when you do Come in from the cold, let me warm your heart Please jump before you fall, ice dancer Won't you let me love you, until hell freezes over Don't be afraid to take my hand, let me save you from sinking under Standing out on the frozen land It's gonna be sink or swim But you don't even see the choice that you have Please let my love take you in Please, oh please, let me off my knees I can only pray so hard, before you freeze Your soul is frozen, but I can help you thaw And bring you back from the dead.... ice dancer And ever since the day I saw your face I wanted to protect you from it all So delicate, and so true You know that I would raise the ground for you
11.
Stop 05:16
Why is it we always feel as though Life is going to stop if we just take our time? Why do we feel like we're wasting away If we don't fill up every moment With something to do or say? Now it's time to catch our breath Now it's time... to make sense of it all Think it's time to stop, just for a moment And let our minds empty out Take a look inside ourselves And see what might come about

about

The second album from Trevor Layton, this walks a much different path than the first... if the driving concept behind that album was 'solo acoustic singer-songwriter rock', then this album is 'full-band cranked-volume sweaty concert hall rock'!

about

Trevor Layton Vancouver, British Columbia

Living near Vancouver BC, Trevor's been playing, singing, and honing his craft for a long while now... always exploring new sounds, styles and atmospheres. Classic rock guitar-led music is definitely his 'homebase', but branching out from that as much as possible is the M.O. He's produced 3 solo albums so far and a 4th release is on the way - check out new tracks as they come up! ... more
