Borrowed Ground

I took my first step
Standing on borrowed ground
Standing on borrowed, borrowed ground
Now you, you may say that I’m ungrateful in every way
That I'm too young, too stubborn, too smart for my own good
But do you know what I see?
You don’t seem so happy
You don’t often smile
So I don’t think I’ll go back home
So I don’t think I’ll go back home
So you tell me don’t run away
Think I might ruin my life
So you tell me don’t run away
Say I might break my, break my
heart
So I don’t think I’ll find myself going back home
Woo!
I appreciate the sentiment
listen and you will see
I still call this home
I still call this home
I still call this home

Amusing

Smoke rings drift across the morning sky,
As the bats in the distance are learning to fly.
Our borders blur and our thoughts collide
And the feeling it brings makes a home in the sky
Now I know your mind as well
As the pauper who drinks and her mind's not well
She taunts me with her sullen eyes
And the story she tells wets the untrained eye
We wandered on among the trees
The feeling spreads like a social disease
The minds they wonder in tandem at ease
And the feeling it makes brings us both to our knees
Now I know your mind as well
As the pauper who drinks and her mind's not well
She taunts me with her sullen eyes
And the story she tells wets the untrained eye
Now I know your mind as well
As the pauper who drinks and her mind's not well
She taunts me with her sullen eyes
And the story she tells wets the untrained eye
I'm not trying to be amusing but you must recall
When we travelled on from the makings of the walls
I'm not trying to be amusing but you must recall
When we travelled on from the makings of the walls

Self-Exclusion
Stand tall while you wear your black veil
Hold the hand of your child who surely will not fail
Never mind the pity, they are worriers and they don’t know
How you can go on and on and on all on your own
You give me hope
That it will go right
While this goes on
I'll leave my head in the sand
Look at that line of mourners, here to watch you wail
I will not be a part of their endless, mindless trail
I won't preach to you, but you will find
That over and over again they will try to steal your weary mind
You give me hope
That it will go right
While this goes on
I'll leave my head in the sand
Leave me while I leave my head in the sand
Leave me while I leave my head in the sand
I will not join in on their game anymore
It feels like one long drawn out war
I cannot bear to face the outside
I’d rather sit inside out of the cold
You give me hope
That it will go right
You give me hope
You make me whole
Leave me while I leave my head in the sand
Leave me while I leave my head in the sand

The Rider Sydney, Australia

(Sydney), The Rider is a group of friends that wrote songs inspired by music they love, taking influences from 60s rock, psych, jazz, blues and soul.
