SOULMATE, SOULMATE Ever since I saw you I didn’t stand a chance Never thought that love could ever put me in a trance A simple conversation Or take you to the dance But confidence is not my friend I’m dreaming our romance I need a different complication Lost inside your smile I’ve found the place for you my darling Cradled in my arms forever No more hiding in the spotlight Soon you’ll see me shine Soulmate, Soulmate come to me, and I’ll be fine I wait each day beside you I’ve been here all the while One day I will turn to you with courage just to smile Admiring you in secret I want to know your name But just like all the times before, I’m lost for words again I need a different complication Lost inside your smile I’ve found the place for you my darling Cradled in my arms forever No more hiding in the spotlight Soon you’ll see me shine Soulmate, Soulmate come to me, and I’ll be fine I’m not worth it, why waste her time with a guy like me? I’m not see through, but she’s never gonna notice me She’s so perfect, I’d give my world if I could say hello Then everything would be okay All these days beside you I’ve been here all the while You nearly stopped my racing heart, you turned and gave a smile You started conversation You told me you were shy And all this time were building up the courage to say ‘Hi’ I found a different complication Lost inside your smile I’ve found the place for you my darling Cradled in my arms forever No more hiding in the spotlight We are gonna shine Soulmate, Soulmate come to me, and we’ll be fine Soulmate we’ll be fine Soulmate we’ll be fine

Drive 04:05
DRIVE I know you’re driving now Heading for my soul Streets are quiet now Road below is thunder Melting in the heat Shimmering the sunset Radio is loud Singing in the night Future in the headlights Passion lights your eyes You’re coming for me now I’m ready Future in the headlights Passion lights your eyes You’re coming for me now I’m ready I know you’re driving now Rhythm pushing faster Tyres trace the miles Mirror tames the distance Engine starts to glow Molten with desire Radio is loud Singing in the night Future in the headlights Passion lights your eyes You’re coming for me now I’m ready Future in the headlights Passion lights your eyes You’re coming for me now I’m ready

RHYTHM OF THE LOVERS Still lying awake tonight Outside the hallway light Her shadow passes Don’t look now but she’s coming out to play A whisper from the door Move softly, cross the floor They’re kissing now, now Close your eyes to the rhythm of the lovers [Gm] [Bb] [Cm] [F] Ooooh ooh hoooo hoo oh oh Ooooh ooh hoooo hoo oh oh Still lying awake tonight Imagining you’re right Beside me now, now Reach my hand but I know that you’re not here Reminds me of the time Your lips were so sublime We did what they did Close your eyes to the rhythm of the lovers [Gm] [Bb] [Cm] [F] Ooooh ooh hoooo hoo oh oh Ooooh ooh hoooo hoo oh oh You’ll get no sleep tonight A sound when there’s no light You hear them now, now Trading blows as you’re lying under cover She’s gonna make you drown You’re up when she’s not down Surrender now, now Close your eyes to the rhythm of the lovers [Gm] [Bb] [Cm] [F] Ooooh ooh hoooo hoo oh oh Ooooh ooh hoooo hoo oh oh It’s the rhythm of the night The rhythm of the lovers Close your eyes down tight It’s the rhythm of the lovers

Occupy 05:39
OCCUPY There’s a place, inside my mind that you occupy It’s a place I keep just for you and I And I need you more than you realise Cos you’ve moved right in and Made yourself at home, Throw your dresses on the floor Now we’re on our own, Tonight we’re dead locking the door Laughing till we cry, Eating Sushi with French fries Dancing in your eyes, To the sound of the record you gave me Every minute you occupy me, Is one more minute of never feeling down I keep you to myself, You’re there, I need you now Every minute you occupy me, I make a wish upon every shooting star To keep you to myself, I swear I need you now There’s a room, inside my heart that you occupy It’s a place that’s safe from the prying eyes Filled with love and no one ever cries So just move right in and Make yourself at home, Writing poems on the walls Now that we’re alone, Switch your phone off hold all my calls Evening sky’s on fire, Soft lips are sipping red wine Making love all night, To the sound of the record you gave me Every minute you occupy me, Is one more minute of never feeling down I keep you to myself, You’re there, I need you now Every minute you occupy me, I make a wish upon every shooting star To keep you to myself, I swear I need you now Every day is a summer morn Every night a winter storm When I’m all alone and needing you I withdraw inside and I be with you Every minute you occupy me, I make a wish upon every shooting star... Every minute you occupy me, Is one more minute of never feeling down I keep you to myself, You’re there, I need you now Every minute you occupy me, I make a wish upon every shooting star To keep you to myself, I swear I need you now I need you now, I need you now, I need you now I need you now, I need you, I need you

Better Me 03:32
BETTER ME Fallen out with my happiness Sick of trying to make ends meet I’m constantly shaking my hallucinating just feeds my anxiety Fallen out with my happiness Now I’m, looking out for a better me Fallen out with my happiness Now I’m pouring it out to sea One minute I was fine and the next I’d be crying, couldn’t move from my fatigue Fallen out with my happiness Now I’m, looking out for a better me Love yourself above another Don’t blame inability Make a chance as your own lover Not some serendipity, Better me Fallen out with my happiness Now I’m dancing on the clouds... I was living half dead and the long road ahead is a part of my destiny Fallen out with my happiness Now I’m, looking out for a better me Love yourself above another Don’t blame inability Make a chance as your own lover Not some serendipity, Better me Now I’m, looking out for a better me Now I’m, looking out for a better me Now I’m, looking out for a better me

Ashen Face 04:46
Night outside my window seat Ashen face stares back at me Ragged heartbeat mixed with bile Locked in helpless single file Holding tight for all I’m worth The hand that pushes to the earth Faltering we drop like rain Anguish cries around the plane I believe This isn’t ending well Engines dissonant refrain Ashen faces feel your pain Tighten seat belt grab the mask Final prayers along the flight path I believe This isn’t ending well Lights reflect in ashen face Life before my eyes Keep on breathing ashen face Falling from the skies I believe This isn’t ending well I believe This isn’t ending

Parachute 08:22
PARACHUTE “Come on, take a jump with me” She dared, I’m fighting mixed emotions We can take this reckless road as one Live a life of stagnant days Or risk it all in a crazy final moment? A snapshot of the day you took control “Do you believe in fate?” she smiled, I’m taking you for a ride You’ll soon be falling for me, boy, Won’t let you down until you look me in the eye If you believe in second chances, You could change one thing You could change one thing If you believe in second chances, You could change one thing You could change one thing, What would it be? What would it be? “What do you think when you’re alone?” she smiled, I can make you feel alive If tomorrow saw your own demise, boy, What would you change if you survived? If you believe in second chances, You could change one thing You could change one thing If you believe in second chances, You could change one thing You could change one thing, What would it be? What would it be? What would it be? Adrenaline kicked me in the face, As she pushed me through the door Ignorance put me in my place, As she showed me what I’m living for Safe under a canopy, You’re clear to take control The airbrushed surround of the sky, And a patchwork world below “Don’t judge a book under the covers”, she smiled, You can’t go a day without No point dreaming of your past life, boy, you’re living for the moment now If you believe in second chances, You could change one thing You could change one thing If you believe in second chances, You could change one thing You could change one thing, What would it be? What would it be? What would it be? What would it be?

CONSCIENCE CALLING How can you just stand there staring at your face? When your eyes are faking You’re cracked and it’s showing From what you’ve done Your time is coming This is your conscience calling I’m trying to get through This is your conscience calling You don’t know what to... How can you just stand there knowing what you’ve done When your hands are shaking Naively holding This smoking gun Your time is coming This is your conscience calling I’m trying to get through This is your conscience calling You don’t know what to... Confusion is growing I hear every word you say You’re a victim of hindsight There’s no regrets, I’m doing okay How can you just stand there thinking you’re okay In your cloak of delusion My voice is the reason You can’t stand the truth Your time is coming This is your conscience calling I’m trying to get through This is your conscience calling You don’t know what to... This is your conscience calling I’m trying to get through This is your conscience calling You don’t know what to... This is your conscience calling This is your conscience calling

TAKE ANOTHER STAR DOWN They say when someone passes on Another star is born into the midnight sky They say when someone goes Their spirit lives on high above, but then, who knows? You were holding my hand When I slipped away and I didn’t want to end this way And I’ll do what I can, To touch your face again Can someone help me please? Take another star down, I’m not ready to go Just get me back to the living Take another star down, I don’t want to stay A little piece of me is hanging on this precious thread of life I’ve been taken to soon, and I’ll do what I can I’ll pray to God and burn my soul but please Take another star down, I’m not ready to go They say when someone passes on You float into a distant light and serenity But I watched them from above And they did everything they could to try to revive me, And I re-lived my life As I slipped away and I didn’t get a last goodbye And I’ll do what I can To see your eyes again, can someone help me please? Take another star down, I’m not ready to go Just get me back to the living Take another star down, I don’t want to stay A little piece of me is hanging on this precious thread of life I’ve been taken to soon, and I’ll do what I can I’ll pray to God and burn my soul but please Take another star down, I’m not ready to go Take another star down, I’m not ready to go Just get me back to the living Take another star down, I don’t want to stay A little piece of me is hanging on this precious thread of life I’ve been taken to soon, and I’ll do what I can I’ll pray to God and burn my soul but please Take another star down, I’m not ready to go I’m not ready to go

DREAMCATCHER (SHINE A LIGHT) Hanging for you End of the day Watching my shadow tracing over your skin as the sun fades Night is a wolf (You don’t know what he’s doing) Dreams made of straw (You know he’ll come for you) He’s got those yellow teeth preying for you, howling at your door (I will protect you, Baby) As another nightmare begins I will fight for you (Oooh shine a light on, oooh shine a light on) It’s just the protection of one that I love and my thoughts of you (Oooh shine a light on, oooh shine a light on) Over your head (You don’t know what will happen) Trapped in the flood (There’s no way out for you) A final breath as a room full of sharks circle in your blood (I will protect you, Baby) Trying to run (A shadow’s coming for you) Feet made of clay (You’ll get no sleep tonight) Suddenly dropping to a bottomless pit as the ground slips away (I will protect you, Baby) As another nightmare begins I will fight for you (Oooh shine a light on, oooh shine a light on) It’s just the protection of one that I love and my thoughts of you (Oooh shine a light on, oooh shine a light on) Hanging for you (Go back to sleep my darling) Break of the day (I saved your dreams tonight) Watching my shadow tracing over your skin as the night fades And if another nightmare begins I will fight for you (Oooh shine a light on, oooh shine a light on) It’s just the protection of one that I love and my thoughts of you (Oooh shine a light on, oooh shine a light on) And if another nightmare begins I will fight for you (Oooh shine a light on, oooh shine a light on) It’s just the protection of one that I love and my thoughts of you (Oooh shine a light on, oooh shine a light on) And if another nightmare begins I will fight for you (Oooh shine a light on, oooh shine a light on) It’s just the protection of one that I love

THE NIGHT WE WENT DOWN The night, we went down south The ice, was forming on the ground Engines hitting redline like the beating of Our hearts, were in our mouths A place, where no one should be found Burning lights a crimson trail beneath a starlit sky Bulletproof and loud No thought inside for the consequence Rebellious and proud We carved our names into the road The night we went down The night, we went down south The place, where innocence was drowned Sitting on the train tracks, drinking spirits from a can We understand This life, where courage never failed We choose our own direction never thinking we would fall Bulletproof and loud No thought inside for the consequence Rebellious and proud We carved our names into the road The night we went down Woah-oh-oh-oh Confidence disintegrated Woah-oh-oh-oh We took the hairpin way too fast Woah-oh-oh-oh As broken glass and twisted metal burned Woah-oh-oh-oh The night we went down The night, we went down south We lay, shaking on the ground Heartbeats hitting redline as we thanked our lucky stars Bulletproof and loud No thought inside for the consequence Rebellious and proud We carved our names into the road The night we went down Bulletproof and loud No thought inside for the consequence Rebellious and proud We carved our names into the road The night we went down To the road, the night we went down To the road, the night we went down

FORGOTTEN VOICE My, dear, love, I’m writing to you All, my, thoughts, Four long years of living in a trench Making me wonder if I’ll see the end At, first, light, The whistle blows for One, last, push Then I’ll be home, To hold you in my arms I’m sorry I’m not the same person who left Because of the deafening barrage of war, lately I’ve Forgotten the sound of your voice I carry your picture right next to my heart Leaving you was harder than I’ve had to bear Sweet, perfume, Decomposing In, the, mud The ground is always Churned, by, shells Preparing to climb up those ladders to hell Because of the deafening barrage of war, lately I’ve Forgotten the sound of your voice I carry your picture right next to my heart Leaving you was harder than I’ve had to bear And up above the moon is full illuminating every single one of us, Awaiting the call And I wonder if you’re looking up and thinking of me at the break of dawn As I write these final few words, I’ll see you soon (I hope) How’s, our, child? She must be nearly Five, years, old I wonder what she will think of me I promise I’ll try not to bring this hell home Because of the deafening barrage of war, lately I’ve Forgotten the sound of your voice I carry your picture right next to my heart Leaving you was harder than I’ve had to bear Because of the deafening barrage of war, lately I’ve Forgotten the sound of your voice I carry your picture right next to my heart Leaving you was harder than I’ve had to bear

BRING THE DEVIL Can’t help myself It’s a momentary weakness I concede No self control There’s a shadow and it’s hanging on to me I’ll hurt myself Cos I’m falling off the wagon in the street Temptations calling And it’s gonna bring the devil out of me Oooh Oooh Oooh Gonna bring the devil out of me Oooh Oooh Oooh Miss Lady Luck Keeps on beckoning a dollar out of me If I give up I’ll be going back to where I used to be Nostalgia’s swell But it’s nothing like it ever used to be Seduce me well Cos you’re gonna bring the devil out of me Oooh Oooh Oooh Gonna bring the devil out of me Oooh Oooh Oooh Wake up, your heaven’s waiting Wake up, the Morning Star is here Wake up, bring the Devil All you have to do is take my hand Like Eve succumbed To the silver tongued serpent in the tree The Morning Star Shines his light so there a path that I can see Forbidden fruit Is a mistress in the shadow of the street This city’s ruin Is a gonna bring the devil out of me Oooh Oooh Oooh Gonna bring the devil out of me Oooh Oooh Oooh Wake up, your heaven’s waiting Wake up, the Morning Star is here Wake up, bring the Devil All you have to do is take my hand Wake up, your heaven’s waiting Wake up, the Morning Star is here Wake up, bring the Devil All you have to do is take my hand Bring the Devil All you have to do is take my hand
