A new life, I’m on the news Stuck in every word that I can find, in everything but truth It’s useless, I’m not amused Faking every photographic smile, it’s all that I can turn into Ordinary feeling A new life, I’m in the mood Lost in an involuntary crash, a moment I’ve abused It’s useless, I am not you Changing every word that I’ve denied, it’s all that I can turn into Ordinary feeling “I can teach you how to turn your touch into perfection, Choose love”

Lucky You 04:46
Hello there, it’s been a while I’m staring at this photograph, steady eyes, silent lies, distant… I know you’re on your own Is there science in this streak of losing? Lucky you, always confused and perfect Taking a stand, forget who asked “Are you listening?” I know you’re on your own Is there science in this streak of losing? I see you there, I see you everywhere, drifting I have a heart, but forget you knew that Just breathe in and pretend Every star, have been called back to work it out Before we start, I’ve been programmed to break apart To mend your heart? Your words are poison I’ll drown every night, In every moment that you could never hide, before I Drown, drown every night In every moment that you could never hide, before I Work it out, I’m worded out Words are poison Your words are poison

Losing all my tunes, I can’t get over how beautiful You and me now, I’m on your side, you’re right I’ll try to find you through love, I’ll try Fools and all their rules, I can’t get over how they hurt you You and me and all our sins will forever hold true I’ll try to find you through love, I’ll try Float away son, I’m here for you, float away I’ll try to find you love, I’ll try You will turn their words and find your perfection You will turn their words and talk to the stars Tonight I’ll be your one and only saviour

Fragile 03:56
I will never let you die, dear And tonight I’ll be close by I will never leave you hungry For the crimes of this wasted love The news should never leave you worried You’re innocent like a work of art Truth should never be allowed to live out loud It will break us apart In time I will find the best in me And I will find the strength to be immune If only I could I know you’re fragile I will never let u die, will never let you try
5.
Fibres 06:00
Moonlight, Sing loud for everyone, Sing loud for revolution, I’ll remember… Shine down, For all the things I’ve done, For all these words unspoken, I’ll remember… Grieving bodies, threw you down Who are you fighting for? Shout now, Before your words are drowned, Before your soul stars bleeding dry, I’ll remember…

The last time that I spoke to her She wouldn’t let her guard down, I’ll be yours if you stay mine It’s the last thing that I wanted To break your heart to make you cry I’ll be in the shadows shedding light I am now a stranger, a foreigner I am now a stranger, a freedom fighter in a war of words There’s nothing new with everyone, there’s nothing new for us So dry your tears… The last time that I spoke to her She would just let a tired sigh “I’m just trying to make things right” Just forget what you’ve ever heard I know your lies I’ve seen your worst So here I am pretending I’m alive I am now a stranger, a foreigner I am now a stranger, a freedom fighter in a war of words There’s nothing new with everyone, there’s nothing new for us So dry your tears… There’s nothing new with everyone, there’s nothing new for us There’s nothing you could ever have done to make me feel any worse There’s nothing new with everyone, there’s nothing new for us So dry your tears… The last time that I spoke to her We made it clear that nothing’s ever after Nothing

December 03:23
So long, we’re leaving December I’ve learned to breathe underwater What’s that? Forgiveness? I have given enough Slow down, it’s been years since the panic I’ve twisted a vein to keep the toxins in What’s next? Reasons? I have given you mine I have given you more than your birthright ever I have given you up… I promise that we’ll fight again in the new year Lights out as we return to our darkest fears So what now? Confusion? I can’t live in the past I have given you more than your birthright ever I have given you up… I'll fall back, and catch my breath Your precious perfect verse, stopped making sense Forget everything, forget how I made you bleed I’m nervous and wasted Stop there, I’m naked I have given your love to another hand I have given you up Enough of this faking Stop and I’ll let you leave Oh precious virgins, outside every night I feel fine
8.
I need a change in my sentence I need a photographic memory I want nothing but to disappear Turn off the lights, good night I knew you’d come by, to turn on a new life I knew you’d come, burning bridges but not to fight I’ll come clean to everyone A complaint in every single line I want nothing but to bleed right through this Turn off the lights, goodbye I’ll see you in time, to turn on a new life I knew you’d turn towards your maker to give you love Turn on a new life, I knew you’d come by to put on a new disguise I knew you’d turn towards your maker to give you love Turn off the lights, I wish you would stay a while Wish you would stay a while…

Exiled 02:50
I’ve been wanting to prove That time takes her time out on you A life redefined, so if you must run Trust have been wasted and used I’m in the strangest of moods Come withered ones, with you I must fight I’ll be out of line tonight I’ll bleed out my words, desires Alone and outnumbered I’m all that I need in this war To meet your eyes To know I’m alive Alone
10.
Lights 05:34
Lights… On who you must find, I’ll remember you Pride… You’ve lost this fight, This soulless revolution in my head You’ve witnessed all It’s only evolution, I forgot Lights… On what we’ve done, I’ll remember you Lights… On those who tried, I’ll remember to remember Alive... I’m alive, Love is who you are So cry if you wanted to cry tonight, Your souls are losing hours So cry if you wanted to cry, Surprised that you’ve wasted your life
