Delusional 03:21
lyrics

You can go dancing in a thunderstorm but don't tell me I didn't warn you when lightning strikes The sooner you see it's a cruel cruel world the sooner you can watch the tables turn And I've grown ruthless and I've grown cold No venom-coated word can shake my soul There's a lot of people who've learned their lines They sure look the part but they're dead inside The best mouthbites have the greatest cheese And if they're down to play dirty they will kick you in the teeth, yeah I've been so delusional You were just planning my funeral Guess it's just business as usual I've been so delusional The sooner you know that your nightmares come in the flavour of candy, with the smoothness of plums, the sooner you can see the lies and the spiel Ain't nothing wrong with reclaiming your lead No one notices your triumphs or your tears Only the mistakes and that sore achilles heel And I'm done playing it safe Done with mincing words That repression is sickness Living chained is a curse, yeah I've been so delusional You were just planning my funeral I guess it's business as usual I've been so delusional I've been so delusional I've been so delusional

Carrion 03:35
lyrics

I've been running a marathon with this pain in my joints and bones Just to get to that starting line Sometimes I wonder "is there a point at all?" Is there a point at all? I keep dreaming Feeling torn like a carrion As long as I'm breathing I won't let go, no The glass ceiling's so low but I'm burned out I can't stop believing I can't let go, no No I can't let go No, no Been drowning in the drought and the dust No use small talking to the sneering sun There's buzzards circling in the sky I got to keep moving no matter what No matter what I keep dreaming Feeling torn like a carrion As long as I'm breathing I won't let go, no The glass ceiling's so low but I'm burned out I can't stop believing I can't let go, can't let go I can't let go I can't let go, no Won't let go, no no no

Won't Let Anything Get in Our Way 03:32

You're safe with me, baby You're safe with me tonight I won't let anything get in our way Stay with me, baby Stay with me tonight You won't ever have to feel afraid You're free with me, baby You're free with me tonight I won't let anything stand in your way I'm blinded by your grace, baby You're a star burning bright Lighting my way in the arms of the night

Jewels 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Do you remember those times? The night pyres we'd light up The summer's green scent That youth of dissent The moon would massage the water's sore arms Thought we'd always be friends Things were simple back then And I'm not the type to live in the bygone, no no But this sunday I've been breaking the rules I've maintained for a lifetime or five Some jewels never lose their value Some jewels never lose their shine Some jewels might captivate you Next morning they're worth nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all Do you remember those times? When song quotes and cheap wine defined what it meant to be free and content Some dreams died so young Some still lurk among the ink of our pens, fragments of innocence And I'm not the type to regret the bygone, no no But I won't let, I can finally see the true prices of all the tiny moments that passed by Some jewels never lose their value Some jewels never lose their shine Some jewels might first captivate you Next morning they're worth nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all Keep your eyes on the road You can try looking back There's no changing what went down I don't want to live in the past It won't convince time to move less fast I'd rather move on Try to learn from the wrongs

Poison Roses 03:44
lyrics

Tonight I'm leaving and I'm not looking back You've been mistreating me for so long, that's a fact You never saw my real value, now it's too late for that Kiss me or kill me, I don't care I'm not looking back, no I've been trying to find a reason to run, a reason to stay I've been trying to find a reason to run, a reason to stay, yeah You can try to call me but I'm not looking back Those sweet words and poems might have worked two summers back But your tongue's rusted in the rain I can tell you that, I'm not afraid There's poison thorns on the frame of a rosy portrait I see the trap you've laid, yeah I've been trying to find a reason to run, a reason to stay I've been trying to find a reason to run, a reason to stay I've been trying to find a reason to run, a reason to stay I've been trying to find a reason to run, a reason to stay, yeah

Violets 05:10
lyrics

It's been a long time since we talked Time moves slow when you're alone Your scent lingers on my skin and my soul The mere thought of you aged like gold This place gets so cold as seasons roll on The stained clouds in the sky like coal Crossroads and remorse Less signs than before I got to keep going on But I'm not where I belong You're just so far away The silence is my sole friend I'm counting on that one day When the violets will bloom again Wish I could rest in your arms Just for a while like in those better times The memories like scars Tattooed and guarded in the vaults behind my eyes The ember of a fire that once danced with might Even stars fade with time Some nights get so hard I can't stand the quiet noise of a mournful mind But these dreams, they light the dark You're just so far away This silence is my sole friend I'm counting on that one day When the violets will bloom again You're just so far away This silence is my sole friend I'm counting on that one day When the violets will bloom again When the violets will bloom again When the violets will bloom again Bloom again Bloom again Bloom again Bloom again

Something Beautiful 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Made with our hands Paid for with years Like a tree standing still through changing weathers With a dash of tears Watering the seeds Adorned with dreams, needful fears and endless laughter And like the leaves Sometimes we need To fall and wilt to be rebuilt back so much better Love is like sand On a breezy beach Shifting and free Flowing in the sea Sometimes it stays still, sometimes it won't return Sometimes it might not return It was something beautiful Something beautiful Something beautiful Something beautiful Measured in smiles Fuelled by the fire, trust, talk, honesty and compromise But just one lie could put it out Cut down the tree of memories grown over time Love is fragile The soil could be dry Sometimes you got to cut them loose out of pure love Even the greatest have to die It was something beautiful Something beautiful Something beautiful Something beautiful But spring always comes But spring always comes For a moment we were forever It was something beautiful Something beautiful Something beautiful Something beautiful It was something beautiful Something beautiful Something beautiful Something beautiful

Candle in a Pitch Black Room 04:41

I know you haven't felt right for a while There are flashes of concealed grief in your eyes But keep in mind, this is only a moment in time And I promise you I'll help you feel alright A candle in a pitch black room The better days are coming soon How you're feeling isn't a crime, no no We all fall down from time to time I'll be the shoulder if you want to cry So let it all out You'll be back up in no time A candle in a pitch black room The better days are coming soon A candle in a pitch black room The better days are coming soon The better days are coming soon The better days are coming soon The better days are coming soon

Dancing with a Broken Soul 03:01
lyrics
buy track
As the day cools down I think 'bout all that's happened Somehow I'm still around I never gave up when I felt like it the most, no I've learned when to hold on and when to let go How to fly on my own I've learned how to show love to myself when I'm low Dancing with a broken soul Learned dancing with my broken soul As the lights go down I turn calm and thankful It's been a hell of a war, hell of a war I've been bruised and battered but it's part of the chapter, yeah I've learned when to hold on and when to let go How to fly on my own I've learned how to show love to myself when I'm low Dancing with a broken soul Learned dancing with my broken soul Look, you're not worn out and you're certainly not worthless Just a bit tired, that's all It's part of the journey Better days are coming I've learned when to hold on and when to let go How to fly on my own I've learned how to show love to myself when I'm low Dancing with a broken soul Learned dancing with my broken soul Learned dancing with a broken soul Dancing with a broken soul Broken soul
