I don’t know if I tried Hard enough or if I lied You’re something good I feel like I should It’s time for the parade Carry me through the day Thank you for this frown When I’m sad I’m not down Lord I’m sorry when I lie Or if I push you aside With two hands on my throat And your words on my mind You won’t leave me alone You won’t let me do time You knock nobody’s home You knock nobody’s home I knock somebody’s home I knock somebody’s home I knock somebody’s home I knock somebody’s home I don’t wanna die Not today not tomorrow either Not today not tomorrow either Not today not tomorrow either Not today not tomorrow either I don’t wanna die I don’t wanna die I’m sorry when I lie I don’t wanna die

The caves we saw are not the same I’m not fog and I’m not rain You’re a storm holding on You’re a room on fire You make me feel much higher A flower in full bloom I flatlined in the stall You were in the waiting room I knew it was coming And I knew I was nothing at all I lost all the good inside when I died I won’t be the one you wished for The inside eye I can see my future We’re not the same We’re not the same Fill me up with your light I will be the glitter in your life I will be the one to shine On and on and on and on and on I will be the one to shine on And on and on and on and on and on and on I was the one who shined on You can’t take my heart away I can’t take my heart away from me I can take everything that you own But you can’t my heart away from me I can take everything that you own I can take everything that you own But you can’t my heart away from me

Forgive me if I'm a sinner But forget the past This is all that's left I wanna be the one who steal home in the end I care to be a better man than I am I care to be braver than I have been Hard roads are better to walk upon Hard roads are better to walk upon Forgive me if I'm a sinner But forget the past This is all that's left I wanna be the one who steal home in the end I care to be a better friend than I am I care to be kinder than I have been Hard roads are better to walk upon Hard roads are better to walk upon 'Love Rock' is a place I lied I came up with things to hide I showed no mercy Followed the water down stream Always in-between And I won't 'Love Rock' is a place I died I jumped off onto smaller jagged stones They brought me home 'Love Rock' is a place I tried To become anyone But it didn't work out right 'Love Rock' is a place I might Bring you someday If I don't I will surely cry And if I do I will cry, too You're inside my heart to stay And this is everyday You're inside my heart to stay And this is everyday You're inside my heart to stay And this is everyday

about

“Long Live” & “I Don’t Wanna Know If I Can Live Like That” featured in the drama/romance film 'It’s What’s On The Inside'

'The Joy of Nothing' starts with an uplifting electronica instrumental, "Redeemer," which leads into his stream of consciousness lyrical writing inspired by Van Morrison on the next two songs, "Long Live" and "You Can't Take My Heart Away From Me." The EP then turns back to an instrumental build-up "I Don't Wanna Know If I Can Live Like That" which is in reference to the homelessness epidemic in Downtown Los Angeles. The last song, "Hard Roads/Love Rock" is his most personal and is a take on how it's better to go through hard times and come out on top than to have everything be easy and given to you. The second half is about a large rock near a river in Fort Hunter, New York where Hidde spent his time growing up and how he wants to bring his wife there someday. - Thread Em
