And don’t you ever think
I could make a better life
Take a running leap
Balance on the edge until you take that flight
Pack up everything
Race upon the stairs until you slip again
Raise a family prouder than you’ve ever been of anything
You did it all alone
You did it all alone
You did it all alone
You did it all alone
Fall asleep at night
Waking in a sweat again
As the words rain down
Scream and shout and hit the ground no time to pretend
Change the story now
Every page just feels the same
And when the walls feel tight
Just remember who you became
You did it all alone
You did it all alone
You did it all alone
You did it all alone
Oh you need to hold on one more night
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Oh you need to hold on one more night
Alright, alright, alright, alright
You did it all alone
You did it all alone
You did it all alone
You did it all alone

What You Get Out
02:57
|

|
You drip with gold and diamonds from your eyes
They kneel before you feet ignore your lies
You say what you put in is what you get out
You say what you put in is what you get out
You say what you put in is what you get out
You say what you put in is what you get out
You wave your hand life regal kings and queens
And oil the cogs of all the broke machines
You say what you put in is what you get out
You say what you put in is what you get out
You say what you put in is what you get out
You say what you put in is what you get out
Yeah
You say what you put in is what you get out
You say what you put in is what you get out
You say what you put in is what you get out
You say what you put in is what you get out
What you out in is what you get out
What you out in is what you get out

Flashlight

Better days will surely follow on
I’ll wait a minute til you hand them back over to me
Pick me up and pass me by again
Hold my focus while I fail to see
Take my hand and walk every step slowly with me
All I got and all I ever need
You’re just a flashlight watching over dark nights guiding the way
Yeah, just a flashlight always shining so bright guiding the way
You’re just a flashlight watching over dark nights guiding the way
Yeah, just a flashlight always shining so bright guiding the way
Catch the fear as it heads my way
Hold those waves coz they’re coming now faster each day
Can you carry me and all this weight
Stop the pain as it starts to spread
Roll those dice and flip them back over again
Take a moment while I take a leap of faith
You’re just a flashlight watching over dark nights guiding the way
Yeah, just a flashlight always shining so bright guiding the way
You’re just a flashlight watching over dark nights guiding the way
Yeah, just a flashlight always shining so bright guiding the way
Round I go again, round I go again round I go
Round I go again, round I go again round I go
Round I go again, round I go again round I go
Round I go again, round I go again round I go
You’re just a flashlight watching over dark nights guiding the way
Yeah, just a flashlight always shining so bright guiding the way
You’re just a flashlight watching over dark nights guiding the way
Yeah, just a flashlight always shining so bright guiding the way

Detachment
03:08
|
|||
|
I tied up my mind to escape the past
And drove through the walls of the emptiness
Gave all I had to the other side
And held up a plan to this life
I didn’t want to see who I used to be
I didn’t want to breathe all those memories
That fight to stay together
The cracks start to show now I’m split in two
I hold all my dreams and thoughts of you
Map out a path of the daily grind
And read every word that you left behind
I didn’t want to see who I used to be
I didn’t want to breathe all those memories
That fight to stay together
I just need to find a way to live day by day
I just need to find a way to live
I didn’t want to see who I used to be
I didn’t want to breathe all those memories
That fight to stay together

Slipping Away
03:10
|

|
We’ve spoken lately
But you don’t know me
You Twist my words and throw them back
Throw them all back
Pile up the stories and hold the pieces
I don’t believe it’s you at all
You’re slipping away
Don’t burn the bridge down
Don’t burn this all down
Further each day
Don’t burn the bridge down
Don’t burn this all down
Don’t hide behind the screen
That changes faces
She’ll push you and she’ll pull you
All over the place
You’re not who you were
But you don’t remember
Those memories just fade again
You’re slipping away
Don’t burn this bridge down
Don’t burn this all down
Further each day
Don’t burn the bridge down
Don’t burn this all down
Don’t wait up until the morning
Falling further down without a warning sign
You’re slipping away
Don’t burn this bridge down
Don’t burn this all down
Further each day
Don’t burn the bridge down
Don’t burn this all down

Tramlines
03:46
|

|
I’ll write your name
Send the words across the sea
I’ll carry you
Over every empty street
For you
I’ll take the silver and the looking glass
With you
I’ll cross the tramlines to the overpass
So Take me
As you go
Take me
Where you go
And on we go on we on we go
We’ll travel light
Just the clothes upon our back
In the dead of night
Together we’ll forget the past
For you
I’ll take the silver and the looking glass
With you
I’ll cross the tramlines to the overpass
So Take me
As you go
Take me
Where you go

You Own Us
03:30
|
|||
|
You pressed a button for us
To make it all so easy
You showed us all your power
And you ticked all the boxes
So you could be our saviour
Take away our desires
Not here to entertain us
Your captain of the planet
Remember to control this
Ignite the anger further
If you can hold us closer
Maybe you’ll be our leader
You don’t know us
But you own us
Again, again
You don’t know us
But you own us all
Wrapped up in all your pictures
You tempt away our voices
No hiding from your riches
Open a door to your mind
you risk that we can now find
A gap to break it open
No longer just a number
Can’t fight a losing battle
We walk away together
And as we’re rising higher
We’re sounding so much louder
We’re standing so much prouder
You don’t know us
But you own us
Again, again
You don’t know us
But you own us all
You don’t know us
But you own us
Again, again
You don’t know us
But you own us all
Oh come on what you do to us
On the edge and you come at us
Only see what you want to
Only see what you want to see

Out Of Body
03:11

See me
Up beyond the line
And did you catch me
Moving through the night
I got visions
In between the lines
Deeper
Than the truth we find
I’m feeling out of body
I’m feeling out of body
Take me inside override this frequency
I’m feeling out of body
I’m feeling out of body
Take me inside override this frequency
Pulsing
Beats will break the dream
In the morning
Nothing’s what it seems
Shoot me
Like a cannonball
Now I’m floating
Still I feel so small
I’m feeling out of body
I’m feeling out of body
Take me inside override this frequency
I’m feeling out of body
I’m feeling out of body
Take me inside override this frequency
I’m feeling out of body
I’m feeling out of body
Take me inside override this frequency
I’m feeling out of body
I’m feeling out of body
Take me inside override this frequency

You know that I
Love you more than
The whole world
The whole world
You’re safe here
Your life’s here
You’re fine now
We’re fine now
I keep it all together
It’s not lying it’s just hiding the truth
I keep it all together
It’s not lying it’s just hiding the truth
You hear voices
You hear noises
It’s nothing
They're fading
New faces
Surround us
In our dream
They all scream
I keep it all together
It’s not lying it’s just hiding the truth
I keep it all together
It’s not lying it’s just hiding the truth
Bang bang band through the dead of night
Reading books in the candle light
Everything will be alright
Crash crashing crashing through the walls again
Victory is ours my friend
Drink it til the very end
I keep it all together
It’s not lying it’s just hiding the truth
I keep it all together
It’s not lying it’s just hiding the truth
I keep it all together
I keep it all together

I‘ll take the pieces of you
I’ll take the tales you told
I’ll pass them all along
Coz they are still gold
This is life
What you gotta hide
This is life
Open up your eyes
And anytime I’m lost
I start it all again
Start it all again yeah
And anytime I’m lost
I start it all again
Start it all again yeah
I’ll pick up every word
As if they’re all mine
Remember every name
Living in rewind
This is life
What you gotta hide
This is life
Open up your eyes
And anytime I’m lost
I start it all again
Start it all again yeah
And anytime I’m lost
I start it all again
