All About You
==========
It's one on one, I watch the clock
I want to speak to make it stop
It doesn't hurt to see this through
But we both know it's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
You can't be on the outside
You can't be along for the ride
You can't just sit and listen
When your mouth is on a mission
You waste of space, the time is gone
You had your chance, you got it wrong
And all that shit you put us through
You'll never see it's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
Your life won't be crushed in this pressure
Your words, they must fill you with pleasure
Your world won't be dragged through this sorrow
But this place, it won't be here tomorrow
You can't be on the outside
You can't be along for the ride
You can't just sit and listen
When your mouth is on a mission
It's one on one, the jokes on you
I told you where and what to do
You're black on black, I can't get through
It's not on me, it's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
Your life won't be crushed in this pressure
Your words, they must fill you with pleasure
Your world won't be dragged through this sorrow
But this place, it won't be here tomorrow
You can't be on the outside
You can't be along for the ride
You can't just sit and listen
When your mouth is on a mission
And all this pain you caused us
The bright lights briefly fooled us
And all that's left is tainted
Your smile is tired and painted
Your life won't be crushed in this pressure
Your words, they must fill you with pleasure
Your world won't be dragged through this sorrow
But this place, it won't be here tomorrow

Watch me Die
===========
Why does nothing ever work out?
Why does chaos always break out?
I fight, but violence is beneath you
I lie, but there's nothing I can teach you
I gave you everything you asked for
I made some kindness out of this war
It's not love if it only one-sided
It's not hate if someone's undecided
I could never treat me the way you do
I wish you could feel what you put me through
When you watch me die inside
When you watch me die inside
When you kill me, you'll know me
What it's like to be lonely
As you watch me die inside
Why is honesty so painful
Why is loneliness so wasteful
I try, but nothing ever changes
I cry as you're ripping out the pages
I played your game and didn't cheat you
I stayed too long, I didn't mean to
It's not love if we're one-track minded
It's not hate if we have to be reminded
I could never hurt me the way you do
I wish you could see what you make me do
When you watch me die inside
When you watch me die inside
When you kill me, you'll know me
What it's like to be lonely
As you watch me die inside
I only want you to know
You take the life out of me
You take the life out of me
I only want you to know
You take the life out of me
You take the life out of me
When you watch me die inside
When you watch me die inside
When you kill me, you'll know me
What it's like to be lonely
As you watch me die inside

Divide Us
========
It's always been you and me
Watching, waiting
Round and round so slow
Talking, faking
Still the last to know
Falling, fading
Down, down, down I go
I'm tired of pacing
You're wired, I'm phasing
I never wanted this to end
I never meant to divide us
But I'd do it all over again
The more you take
The more I break
Another link out of the chain
Your way, word play
Grown up 'show and tell'
I say what you say
The chancer's done so well
Falling, fading
Down, down, down I fell
I'm empty, but breathing
Your weakness was leaving
I never wanted this to end
I never meant to divide us
But I'd do it all over again
The more you take
The more I break
Another link out of the chain
I never wanted this to divide us
I never wanted this to divide us
I never wanted this to end
It's always been you and me

Guilty
=====
Every time I love you
It always ends up crashing down in flames
Every time I hold you
Intention disappears under the waves
Take it slow, don't rush me
We've circled round and round like this for days
Let it breathe, don't crush me
We've got a lot of history to erase
Hold me, hold that thought
And don't feel sorry for me
Because I leave with what I brought
And prouder men than me
Have been here before
Guilty, my hearts still broken
Guilty, I can't go back
Guilty, your love still hurts me
Guilty, still dressed in black
Choose a gun and shoot me
It doesn't matter which, they're all the same
Pick a side and own it
I don't have any interest in this game
Maybe I'm just childish
It never really felt like youth to me
Look at us and tell me
This is where you hoped that you would be
Hold me, hold that thought
And don't feel sorry for me
Because I leave with what I brought
And stronger men than me
Have been here before
Guilty, my hearts still broken
Guilty, I can't go back
Guilty, your love still hurts me
Guilty, still dressed in black
Still dressed in black
Like a rush of air goes by
In the corner of my eye
Like a presence in a room
Or a rose that never blooms
It's a shadow on the wall
It's the pride before a fall
Like a dream before the dawn
It's a face that can't be drawn
Guilty, my hearts still broken
Guilty, I can't go back
Guilty, your love still hurts me
Guilty, still dressed in black

The Mirror
========
I'm here when everything's gone
I'll keep you safe from the storm
And when you need to be strong
I'll give it structure and form
I've seen that face
I've been that place with you before
I'll care if nobody cares
I'll talk if that's what you need
And when it's too much to bear
And when we're both on our knees
I've seen that face in the mirror
I've been that place myself before
This life could be enough for you
Open up, open up
Look at me, just look at me
All of this, take all of it
Stay with us, stay with me
You need to find a way home
I'm just clearing a path
It's hard to walk on your own
I know the pain that you have
I've seen that face
You don't need space to be alone
This life could be enough for you
Open up, open up
Look at me, just look at me
All of this, take all of it
Stay with us, stay with me
You need to find a way home
I've seen that face in the mirror

Reset
=====
Whatever will be will be
Whatever you see, you see
Whatever you have to lose
Whatever the path you choose
Whatever the mess you make
For somebody elses sake
Wherever the fools will be I'll be
That's why they follow me
Your weakness is dangerous
We need you to save us
Your regrets are wasted
Just forget and then reset
And then reset
You shouldn't have to shout so loud
That you did it just to make us proud
There's nothing in the rules that say
You have to play the game they play
When everything is said and done
When everyone is dead and gone
Wherever the fools will be I'll be
That's when you'll follow me
Your weakness is dangerous
We need you to save us
Your regrets are wasted
Just forget and then reset
And then reset

Echo Chamber
============
Sometimes I feel we’re closer than we are
Sometimes I feel we took it all too far
I‘ve lost a part of you my friend
I don’t want to get trapped inside
When you trip the breaker
I don’t want to be drawn, take sides
In your echo chamber
Sometimes I pause the soundtrack in my mind
The shortest path is never a straight line
And you’ll get lost in me again
I don’t want to get trapped inside
When you trip the breaker
I don’t want to be drawn, take sides
In your echo chamber
Can you think of a time when there wasn’t something unsaid,
or unread, or can’t be written down
Can you think of a line that you wouldn’t use to get there,
to stay there, to conceive it's melting down
One day you’ll have the right to be forgotten
One day you’ll have a slice of what you missed
Then you’ll have a part of me my friend
I don’t want to get trapped inside
When you trip the breaker
I don’t want to be drawn, take sides
In your echo chamber

Losing Our Way
=============
Stop the World, I want to get off
Make some room for the weak and the lost
Make a plan, it better be good
We're going down like I told you we would
Pack your bag and get in the car
Raise a flag so they know what we are
Make a choice, it's going to be tough
Find a voice and hope it's enough
We don't know who to trust
Don't know where to turn
Don't know who is right anymore
We're losing our way
We don't know what to say
Don't know who to blame
Don't know who to fight in this war
We're slipping away
What you get is not what you see
Read the news, don't listen to me
There's a point when we're all on our own
There's a time when your cover is blown
Stop the World, I want to get off
I can pay, whatever the cost
It doesn't matter what you want to believe
It doesn't matter when you have what you need
We don't know who to trust
Don't know where to turn
Don't know who is right anymore
We're losing our way
We don't know what to say
Don't know who to blame
Don't know who to fight in this war
We're slipping away
Make the news
Drive the views
Pick a side
Light the fuse
We're all to blame
It's not a game
They stoke the fire
You fan the flame
If you're undecided
If you're open minded
That's a sign
That your mind's
Not aligned
With your head
What you take from it
What you make from it
When there's chaos everywhere
And no escape from it
We don't know who to trust
Don't know where to turn
Don't know who is right anymore
We're losing our way
We don't know what to say
Don't know who to blame
Don't know who to fight in this war
We're slipping away

Watching Sleepers

Watching Sleepers
===============
When the eyelids close
When the breathing slows
Then the soul’s exposed
Purity in reason
Clarity in feeling
I should have told you I was out of love long ago
Out of place
Out of ideas
Watching sleepers
I should have told you I was happier on my own
Out of this
Counting the years
Watching Sleepers
Secrets come to bed
In a voyeur’s head
Parity of meaning
A chance to start the healing
I should have told you I was out of love long ago
Out of place
Out of ideas
Watching sleepers
I should have told you I was happier on my own
Out of this
Counting the years
Watching Sleepers

The Sound of Running
==================
I changed my expectations
I take the worst and I throw the rest
You know that
I don’t like confrontation
I find life hard but I’ve done my best
You knew that
The noise that’s in my head is the sound of running
The life I never led is the life that keeps us down
The landscape that I paint is a world of nothing
And I need more time
I don’t need education
I faced the World and I passed the test
You’d agree that
I don’t want complication
I keep things close because I think that’s best
You can see that
The noise that’s in my head is the sound of running
The life I never led is the life that keeps us down
The landscape that I paint is a world of nothing
And I need more time
It’s what I need to do
To make it through to you
It’s where I draw the line
Is it fixed for all of time?
The noise that’s in my head is the sound of running
The life I never led is the life that keeps us down
The landscape that I paint is a world of nothing
And I need more time
It’s what I need to do
It’s where I draw the line
The noise that’s in my head is the sound of running
The life I never led is the life that keeps us down
The landscape that I paint is a world of nothing
And I need more time

Breaking Bones
=============
You could be on-side, but it’s just a temptation
You need to calm things down for the good of the nation
You’re bringing chaos everywhere that you go now
Just take a minute to breath and show me something, you know how
Everybody was wrong, you know that
Everything took too long, you see that too
You’re not the only one that knew
Stop throwing stones because you’re breaking bones
Stop pointing guns, you’re scaring everyone
Stop pulling knives because you’re wrecking lives
Just stand down and take it ‘cause your strong enough to make it.
It get’s under your skin like a lethal injection
When you deal with love like you’ve got an infection
You need to bring it down so you can hear what I’m saying
Just take a minute to grieve while the music is playing
Everybody was wrong, you know that
You didn’t think you belong, and that’s not fair
You’re not the only one who cared
Stop throwing stones because you’re breaking bones
Stop pointing guns, you’re scaring everyone
Stop pulling knives because you’re wrecking lives
Just stand down and take it ‘cause your strong enough to make it.
I was going to write you a letter
To say that life will get better
But who still writes letters?
You just need to drop your defences
The tear down the fences
To break down the walls
That’s all
Stop throwing stones because you’re breaking bones
Stop pointing guns, you’re scaring everyone
Stop pulling knives because you’re wrecking lives
Just stand down and take it ‘cause your strong enough to make it.

Your Heart is Like and Island
=======================
Your heart is like an island
My love the open shore
The tide goes out in silence
Reveals the ocean floor
Your heart is in a prison
My love waits at the gates
Threatened by your freedom
And punished by mistakes
Your heart will be saved
in time
But I'm not the one to
rescue you
I was the one who stranded you, remember?
Remember when I left you there alone?
Your heart is stuck in quicksand
My love is scared to breath
Reaching for each other
Impossible to leave
Your heart is like an island
My love a passing wave
A perfect thing of beauty
But never seen again
Your heart will be saved in time
But I'm not the one to rescue you
I was the one who stranded you, remember?
Remember when I left you there alone?
The water's so still here
But the current will pull you down
Your heart will be saved in time
But I'm not the one to rescue you
I was the one that stranded you, remember?
Your heart will be saved in time
But I'm not the one to rescue you
I was the one who stranded you, remember?
Remember when I left you there alone?
The water's so still here

Love in Control
============
I, I feel like running away
I need a future
it's starting today
I'm tired of putting everything on hold
Out with the lovers and into the cold
You said everything is perfect
But you've got me
you've got me wrapped up in chains
Now love's back in control
So before I go, put the knife in
Right the way through my soul
Let the light in
So before I go, put the knife in
Right the way through my soul
Let some life in
And when you see me smile
That's when you'll know
Love's back in control
I, I feel like making a change
I need to break out
I'm trapped in this cage
And time is going by too fast
I don't think you love me
And I don't want to ask
You say all the tears are worth it
Was it too much to wipe them away
Now love's back in control
So before I go, put the knife in
Right the way through my soul
Let the light in
So before I go, put the knife in
Right the way through my soul
Let some life in
And when you see me smile
That's when you'll know
Love's back in control
