CITY NEVER SLEEPS

Down by the lakeside
I feel the water
Brushing against my skin
I feel the winds blow
It’s getting late, and the stores are due to close
As the man on the street, he covers up his woes
With another drink toasted to the world
Ah! This city never sleeps, so how can we dream?
All this noise is keeping me awake
And my body starts to fail
I’m falling to pieces!
Into the windows
Picturing souls worn
Warm glows ignite my skin
I feel the winds blow
How could you know?
How it feels, to walk alone
How could you know?
In the company of comfort
So now you know, how it feels

…

OXYGEN

You were standing there alone looking in
You were a heart with no home falling in
Cover up your shoulders from the rain
Oh it’s pouring you must be cold
I’m feeling like I’m slipping, it’s deep within my soul
It’s finding all the answers, the questions are unknown
It’s common interaction, it’s sewing like a seed
Use my intuition to find another key
I’m falling in too deep, I am running out of time
I’m using up my oxygen wishing you were mine
I’ll hold my hands above me and hang my head down low
Hoping that you’ll see me before it’s time to go
I’m feeling like I’m slipping, away
My independence relies on me
I can’t take it for granted
I’m going solo that’s the key
For in my heart there’ll always be a place for you
Deep within my heart I know I’ll wait for you
Discovering the future now

…

FOREVER MINE

Feet locked it’s the sign of the light, I didn’t think so
You think I’m better but I’m doing alright, you know?
Eyes locked it’s the sign of the times, you really think so?
You’re wrong to think that my head is alright, you know?
If you’re thinking like that then you mind is too slow
And everything you try, it will never be enough
It takes a strong heart just to learn to let go
But I guess I was never strong enough for you, I know
Our moment has come, we wait for the sun
From the grounds of our love, into our arms
Look up to the stars, and open our hearts
In these the craziest days you’ll be, forever mine
Inside I cry all the time, you didn’t think so?
Well I’m telling you that’s how I spend my time, when I’m alone
These complicated feelings blocking up my mind
Use them as a lens to look down, and who knows what you’ll find
This is our final call, the scene’s about to close
We’ll hold on to what we have, and never let it go
We will make up for it all, when the leaves start to fall
At our feet and we know what is left in store

THIS PAIN I COMPRESS

This is my minds eye
These are my thoughts
Complete with timelines
Stretched out on walls
Why don’t you want me?
Just make it plain
It’s all the same
These are my fingertips
This is my pain
So don’t leave me here
Don’t say goodbye
Accept nothing less
Expect nothing more
This pain I compress
For you, I’d drive a thousand miles
For you expect nothing less than smiles
This pain I compress
In times of feeling pressed
You mind is driving flat out
You must remember this: breathe slowly
Why shouldn’t we resist?
Defy conventional, it’s not essential
It’s just me looking out for you
I started breathing slowly, you started walking out

…

LIBRA

I’m hanging on your last close words
They bring me closer to God
Palms like silk caress my arm
As you leave me to rot
I know it’s all the same to you
It’s just a matter of time
So know that I will not give you
Another second of mine
And I’m walking out, far from the middle
And I’m crawling back, just one more time
Why can’t we align what we can’t see?
And why should we believe what they’re preaching?
I’ve got everything laid out, so clearly
The problem is with you. To you it’s just a game.
Caught up inside your web of lies
A step forward is one out of line
Keep challenging the borderline
To find out where we stand in time
I’ll see you within your dreams
I’ll scream a little louder
I’ll see you in the morning
And wonder where it all went wrong
All went wrong

…

HOLDING ON (FT. CHRIS HARMS / LORD OF THE LOST)

Down by the lakeside
I feel the water
Brushing against my skin
I feel the winds blow
It’s getting late, and the stores are due to close
As the man on the street, he covers up his woes
With another drink toasted to the world
Ah! This city never sleeps, so how can we dream?
All this noise is keeping me awake
And my body starts to fail
I’m falling to pieces!
Into the windows
Picturing souls worn
Warm glows ignite my skin
I feel the winds blow
How could you know?
How it feels, to walk alone
How could you know?
In the company of comfort

SOUND OF THE MACHINE

So waste my time
And ask me questions
For I’m not here
I’m not real
It’s just the sound of the machine
A clock that’s ticking away
Counting down the hours
As we lie still
So don’t ask me why I do this to myself
I’ve got no self control
Well if it happens to me, it could happen to you
So throw me a rope
Throw it down
Lift my feet right off the ground
Cut me loose
Give me a break
There’s only so much I can take
When we wake up will it be over?
What will your friends believe?
So take your cameras out
It’s just the sound of the machine
My heart is ticking away
Counting down the hours
As we lie still
It’s the sound of the machine

AS THE WORLD FALLS APART (FT. IMOGEN EVANS)

People standing, hoping
Watching as the world falls apart
Scenes have broken, tearing
Crumbling away once again
How many times have we been here before?
Over again, again, again
How many times
How many lines
How many lies
I know it’s hard, I know it’s dark here
I’ve watched you fall
I’ve seen you cry
Don’t cover up your face I know why
You’re hiding from me, you’re hiding
The feeling is gone
All feelings have gone away
Again, again, again

…

SMOTHER

Come a little closer
Tell me how you feel
Apply a little pressure
on the back of your neck
Pull you in toward me
Like a hunter to its prey
Close enough to bite you
And see how good you taste
It’s hard to think clearly
With eyes like yours
it’s easy to fall as you smother
Beneath your skin
There’s a heart of gold
And I can’t resist to wander
Blue from all the teasing
You’re messing with my mind
Innocence is fading
As I build upon my lie
I’m aching over your replies
Why’ve you become my saviour?
My memory is haunting me
As clips of you play and linger
I can’t believe my timing
I just can’t let you go that easily

…

ANGEL DRESSED IN SNOW

Enchanted by your spells
Lost within your eyes
Home amoungst your words
I’m going straight to hell
I hope you’re coming with me
Let it be our home
Break me down until I fall
I don’t know this dream at all
A thousand miles forbids our love
Let it be known we won’t give up
We do our best and that’s enough
Eyes as cold as steel
Smile’s bright as silver
Touches feel like gold
Colour changing hue
In desolation Russia
My angel dressed in snow
The oceans inbetween us
Are never really far
The chace for us is nearing
To hold you in my arms
Keep looking at the stars

…

SHARING SHADOWS

To get some sleep I have to dream
But it cuts you out for way to long
This salt’s so sweet it lets me be
But in your arms is where I’m home
Despite this road I know we’re gonna be sharing shadows
Let’s give it a try, let us see
Your arms feel like home
Your smile takes it toll
Heels over head, you know I’m way out of it!
Your arms feel like home
Your smile takes it toll
I’m in so deep, you know I’m way out of it!
Let’s spend some time, let’s fast the hands, let’s sew a seed together
We’ll watch it grow into a tree, our own shelter from bad weather

In every hole we find ourselves
I know that we will find a (way out of it)
Oo and when we’re ghosts we’ll haunt this home
Forever more, there is no (way out of it)
Heels overhead you know that I am (way out of it)
I’m in so deep you know that I am (way out of it)
