Something Beautiful 03:49
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

Destroy - Rebuild - Destroy 04:30
lyrics

I'm haunted by my own desires You are my filthy cage, my euphoria I crave your taste like a rabid dog Why do you bless me, then tear me down? Mä haluan sua Mä tahdon sua Mä kerjään sua Mä tarviin sua I'm haunted by my own desires Why do you bless me, then tear me down? Destroy, build, destroy, rebuild, destroy Destroy, build, destroy, rebuild, destroy Destroy, build, destroy, rebuild, destroy Destroy, rebuild, destroy I want you more, it's not enough You're my lifeblood, my dysphoria And it feels so good lying here in my tomb You've turned me so cruel I've learned it from you Mä haluan sua Mä tahdon sua Mä kerjään sua Mä tarviin sua I'm haunted by my own desires Why do you bless me, then tear me down? Sä tuhoat mua Mikään ei oo tarpeeks Mä haluan sua lisää

Together Alone 02:40
lyrics

If I told you a secret would you be willing to keep it? I’ve been hiding my weaknesses Never letting people see the real me Hold me for a while Squeeze me so tight Help me stop the time Let’s take it slow Show me your flaws and I’ll show my own Together alone The temptations kept me running Living in my own fantasy But I changed so much here in London Now I’m tired of cruelty and vanity Show me something natural, something real And hold me for a while Squeeze me so tight Help me stop the time Let’s take it slow Show me your flaws and I’ll show my own Together alone

Delusional 03:20
lyrics
buy track
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

The Waiting 03:32
lyrics

The season’s turning colder One more reason to stay sober I’m feeling so much older But the waiting ain’t over My pen is moving but the ink’s all faded The song remains the same, torn page I still haven’t made it I hate the thought of losing hope but keep on craving for someone to tell me that something will change some day The season turning colder One less reason to stay sober I’m fearing getting older The waiting ain’t over I’ve been overthinking, trying to find the right words My obsessive work has turned into both a gift and a curse The films and the stories promised us shiny dreams, not dirt Flying to Xanadu with a verse Nobody mentioned travelling there in a hearse The season’s turning colder One less reason to stay sober I’m fearing getting older The waiting, no, ain’t over The season’s turning colder One less reason to stay sober I’m fearing blue and older Yet the waiting ain’t over

Repressed 03:10
lyrics

All my life I’ve tried to find my own purpose with this endless fervour All my life I’ve tried to hide my deepest burdens deep under the surface Somebody set me, somebody set me free, yeah ‘Cause sometimes things just ain’t the way they appear, no Living for this dream to express my own fire, to feel free and inspire But there’s another side of me when the cameras go quiet ‘cause I still keep running from myself Boo-boo-boo-boo Boo-boo-boo-boo Boo-boo-boo-boo Boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo All my life I’ve swum around the hungry serpents hidden behind the curtain All this time I’ve repressed a major side of me Always overworking, denying that I’m hurting Somebody tell me I’m enough the way I am, yeah ‘Cause I’m a man drowning in my smallest mistakes in the endless sea of noise and passing hands, ooh Living for this dream to express my own fire, to feel free and inspire But there’s another side of me when the cameras go quiet ‘cause I still keep running from myself Boo-boo-boo-boo Boo-boo-boo-boo Boo-boo-boo-boo Boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo Boo-boo-boo-boo Boo-boo-boo-boo Boo-boo-boo-boo Boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo Living for this dream to express my own fire, to feel free and inspire But there’s another side of me when the cameras go quiet ‘cause I still keep running, yeah yeah yeah

Bombs Away (Feat. Adon Fanion) 03:54
lyrics

Everyone's been acting so crazy lately ... Including myself Wait AD/HD generation Diet of sugar and fear Caught between keeping veneers and living austere A bedroom generation bound to endless debt and chasing careers Education never paid Depression 'bout to turn too severe Wait Did we ever learn anything from the world war days? The post-9/11 pain? The protest songs might not sound the same but has the message really changed? No, the war puppeteers sure haven't changed Bombs away, bombs away Nothing's changed Bombs away, bombs away Back to the good ol' days Bombs away, bombs away Nothing's changed Bombs away, bombs away We should be ashamed Wait Online generation hooked on bad takes and outrage porn Companies force-feed the headlines designed to make you crave more Ramp up the foreign fears Amplify the tensions with your peers Manufactured consent No stopping the cash rain That's the intent, yes Life is a game of musical chairs Heavy is the head that tries to care Kill, burn and maim for your clicks and your shares Don't worry, tragedy makes us all stare Somewhere a young man is losing his hair Must be the diet, must be the despair And while we keep whispering the same dusty prayers a small child in East lives through his daily nightmare Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Superlondonpugilistic'causeIfeelsoferocious Superlondonpugilisticthisyear'smymagnumopus, yeah SupercalisatanicpanicdystophiangraphicthinkI'monacid, yeah Bombs away Bombs away Nothing's changed Bombs away Bombs away Back to the good ol' days Bombs away Bomb, bomb, bombs away Nothing's changed Bombs away Bombs away Back to the good ol' days

Take me to the moon and let's go see Saturn too I want to tour the world with you, yeah Just fly me somewhere new Take me to the moon and let's go see Venus too I want to tour the world with you, yeah Just fly me somewhere new Born a million light years away On a tiny grain of sand floating in space With this endless need to move and escape Let's travel to the stars See the world like satellites Take me to the moon and let's go see Saturn too I want to tour this world with you, yeah Just fly me somewhere new Take me to the moon and let's go see Pluto too I want to tour this world with you, yeah Just fly me somewhere new On the road again like Willie

Never Quit 03:10
lyrics

Something keeps me pressing on And I know - and I know - and I know I won’t turn back I’ve had to hear a million no’s But I won’t - but I won’t - but I won’t ever do that I will never quit, no I’ve come too far to quit I will never quit, no I’ve come too far to quit Too far, too far I can hear another storm But I’m not - but I’m not - but I’m not worried ‘bout that The hardships and hurdles turned me strong You can tie me down Strive to make me drown in doubt Try to burn my essence down I will come back I will never quit, no I’ve come too far to quit I will never quit, no I’ve come too far to quit Too far, too far

Forever November 05:32
lyrics

How could we go from lovers to strangers in so little time? And as usual I envisioned too much and ignored all the signs These times are hard And since you’ve been gone I’ve been in that november kind of mood You erased all my doubts I thought I’d finally found my four-leaf clover And the sun was out but you had to go and ask winter over Now the times are hard And since you’ve been gone I’ve been in that november kind of mood Why did you have to wound me this way? Why would you blemish all we had with gray? And I’ve gone back to the dark since you’ve been gone, drowning in that november kind of mood

Running in Place 02:40
lyrics

Lost in this city where love is so hard to find I’m barely breathing All my time is spent on trying How long ‘til all the stars align or was it all just a lie? Running in place Got no time to waste Running in place Got no time to waste, no Running in place Still alive in the city where trust is so hard to find I’m struggling to get me some rest in this sleepless time It’s freezing, I’m spinning in my bed as the crackfiend howls We’re caught in this spinning limbo Just chasing a job that sucks the soul out How long ‘til all the stars align or was it all just a lie? Running in place Got no time to waste Running in place, yeah Got no time to waste, yeah Running in place

Dancing with a Broken Soul 03:00
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
