Mannequin Lies
03:56
|
|
||
Looking like a shop window
The mannequin lies
I can see the world from here
Closing my eyes
Don’t need to step outside
Or cross the wall
You can see me smile from there
The rest I can hide
Alone in the night
I’ll be working it out, working it out
Open the door
I’ll be feeling the love, feeling the love
It’s a blanket over me
That suffocates
Dragging my heels through nails
I try to wake up
I’ll dress outside with sun
A trojan horse
You know me so well though babe
Your love is key
Alone in the night
I’ll be working it out, working it out
Open the door
I’ll be feeling the love, feeling the love
Alone in the night
I’ll be working it out, working it out
Open the door
I’ll be feeling the love, feeling the love

Ride It (While You Can)
04:32
|
|

It’s not gonna stop
No time to play it safe
Stand up for what’s at stake
You gotta ride it while you can
It’s not gonna stop
It’s moving at lightning speeds
Don’t be guilty of broken dreams
You’ve gotta ride it while you can
Tear a new page from the book
Open your eyes and take a look
Don’t play it straight with your dreams
Rip away the fabric from the seams
Don’t hang on regret
Break out from your safety net
Doing nothing is no safe bet
You’ve gotta fight it while you can
It’s not gonna stop
It’s moving at lightning speeds
Don’t be guilty of broken dreams
You’ve gotta ride it while you can
Tear a new page from the book
Open your eyes and take a look
Don’t play it straight with your dreams
Rip away the fabric from the seams
Tear a new page from the book
Open your eyes and take a look
Don’t play it straight with your dreams
Rip away the fabric from the seams
Ride it while you can
Ride it while you can......

Out Of Reach
03:02
|
|

Papers say that times they are a changing
I don’t even know what day it is
Feels like real time living in a movie
Stop rewind and play my part again
Out of reach yeah
All the things that you love
Lost the days yeah
And another, and another
Thinking of a space beyond the ceiling
Window on a world beyond the glass
Empty skies above the empty cities
Silence before the world turns dark
Out of reach yeah
All the things that you love
Lost the days yeah
And another, and another
Out of reach yeah
All the things that you love
Lost the days yeah
And another, and another
Out of reach yeah
All the things that you love
Lost the days yeah
And another, and another
Out of reach yeah
All the things that you love
Lost the days yeah
And another, and another

Break Down Walls
02:52
|
|
||
Look over your shoulder
You’re getting chased by
Your own fear
Step out of your cloud now
The sun will embrace you
I’m thinking of you
It’s what I do
What will comfort you
To see you through
The days are shorter
The light starts to disappear
Jump into the water
You’re already drowning
Inside
I’m thinking of you
It’s what I do
What will comfort you
To see you through
Break down walls of sanity
Fight the beast inside
Break down walls of apathy
Push and push some more
I’m thinking of you
It’s what I do
What will comfort you
To see you through
Thinking of you
What will comfort you
Thinking of you

Calling Out
03:07
|
|
||
Ghost of a street
In your head
Memories fade
Like the dead you once knew
It’s another world away
Calling out
The town’s decaying
When you shout
No one hears you
Calling out
The youth are screaming
Let’s turnabout
Change of a world
You want back
Nostalgia fades away
Now it’s time
Life moves on
The future needs to stay
Calling out
The town’s decaying
When you shout
No one hears you
Calling out
The youth are screaming
Let’s turnabout
Lay down and close your eyes
Dream of your enterprise
Wake up now, face up
Don’t wait!
So tired of all the lies
Expose the mighty and high
Wake up now, face up. DON’T’ WAIT!
Calling out
The town’s decaying
When you shout
No one hears you
Calling out
The youth are screaming
Let’s turnabout
Calling out – ah ah
Let’s turnabout – ah ah
Calling out – ah ah
Let’s turnabout ah ah

Disengage The Robots

Disengage the robots
For moments we are one
A single second of our time
Then we carry on
The world turns again like there’s nothing wrong
The world turns again like there’s nothing wrong
And I fear for you – we haven’t got this at all
And I fear for you – we haven’t got this covered
Glazed over in silence
Devices in control
Fingers on the button
Feeling nothing at all
The world turns again like there’s nothing wrong
The world turns again like there’s nothing wrong
And I fear for you – we haven’t got this at all
And I fear for you – we haven’t got this covered
And I fear for you – we haven’t got this at all
And I fear for you – we haven’t got this covered
Fear for you – we haven’t got this at all
And I fear for you – we haven’t got this covered

Flags
03:30
|
|
||
You------- you blinding light
A spark within the dark
A rally cry
You------- resounding voice
A sound beyond a crowd
Above the noise
and if they wave their flags for you
I will raise mine higher and set it on fire
Waving their flags
I will raise mine higher and set it on fire
You------- illuminate
Bring the lost ones to the cause
And demonstrate
You------- standing tall
Nail your colours to the mast
Demanding more
and if they wave their flags for you
I will raise mine higher and set it on fire
Waving their flags
I will raise mine higher and set it on fire

Evacuate
03:45
|
|
||
Everything I do I do for you
So calm down, calm down
Evacuate this anxious state and keep calm
Carry on, carry on
I’m moving mountains
Complete a piece of me
Kicking dust and losing
My connection
I’m chasing jet streams
To stay in sight of you
Planting seeds and digging roots
For one day
Everything I do I do for you
So calm down, calm down
Evacuate this anxious state and keep calm
Carry on, carry on
I’m breathing deeply
Trying to take you in
To hold on to this sense of you
Sincerely
I’m making pictures
Familiar to me
Holding tight, now the ride
Is for real
Everything I do I do for you
So calm down, calm down
Evacuate this anxious state and keep calm
Carry on, carry on

2nd Book
04:47
|
|

On the second book and starting to fight again
Trilogy of life’s got me putting hand to pen
Turning the page to see just where it takes me
The end of the start is on its journey out to sea
Keep the dogs at bay
With their dangerous eyes
And corporate lies
Bleed, don’t let the soul dry
I’m waiting for the day
A page takes me away
On the second book now
In the trilogy of life
On the second book now
In the trilogy of life
Planning an escape without digging a tunnel
Writing down thoughts and turning off channels
Fake reality, real time fakers
It’s a military regime for the movers and shakers
Keep the dogs at bay
With their dangerous eyes
And corporate lies
Bleed, don’t let the soul dry
I’m waiting for the day
A page takes me away
On the second book now
In the trilogy of life
On the second book now
In the trilogy of life

Sad Eyes
03:59
|
|

I see you sitting in your chair
Waiting there, watching time
All you have now is the past
The future has gone beyond your grasp
I showed you photos of your great grandson
How he’s grown, how he smiles
Reminds you of when I was young
For a moment time stood still
Sad eyes sparkle
Your tired mind looked like it woke for a moment
Sad eyes sparkle
So long waiting for peace now my love
Conversation stumbles along
You look at me with a blank glare
In the meantime the football is on
Reminds me of times we shared
I hope you’re not suffering
Occasionally I see your flare
We shared ice cream and a couple of goals
For a moment time stood still
Sad eyes sparkle
Your tired mind looked like it woke for a moment
Sad eyes sparkle
So long waiting for peace now my love

I Realise
03:16
|
|
||
When you went away, I realise
Theres a change inside, I realise
My heart grows weak and my head gets weary
You're the wings to my peace
Counting the days until i have you near me
Gravity pulls at my knees
I realise its true
I realise its you
Distance between us, i realise
I need your face and your sparkling smile, i realise
My heart grows weak and my head gets weary
You're the wings to my peace
Counting the days until i have you near me
Gravity pulls at my knees
I realise its true
I realise its you
You won't let me fall
Got me standing tall
Please don't let me...
My heart grows weak and my head gets weary
You're the wings to my peace
Counting the days until i have you near me
Gravity pulls at my knees
I realise its true
I realise its you
