Story Behind The Song
This song is based around an experience where my neighbour got mistakenly attacked for no reason and this left him brain damaged. This really affected me and I wanted to try and capture what I was feeling and trying to understand why this would happen.
Song Description
This song is taken from the point of view of trying to understand how somebody can do this to someone else. Its looking for a logical answer and the song also conveys that everyone has choices. There's no harm in puting 'down your guns and give up this chase'
to find a new way forward. It tries to say there is an alternative to all this anger.

Lyrics
WILL YOU EVER
Out on the street nothing wrong
Whichever way you look you?re frowned upon
Carrying a memory of a world far away
Changed so much its hard to find your way
Diving into the ocean and the deep blue sea
You?ve forgotten just how much it is to be free
Encircled by hate, fear and destruction
You?re only friend is an illusion
Will you ever smile at a human face
Will you ever put down your guns and give up this chase
Will you find a heart that will understand
Let it rest in the sand
So much blood too much to waste
No one else will recognise your face
A great big smile is waiting for you
I hope someday you?ll feel it too
