Note To Self 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Note to self Staring at the world Waiting for something, for something to happen Won't make it change Won't make a difference Must lose these shackles Must leave this house Trapped by TV Lost in indifference Bought everything I've never wanted and Trapped by TV Lost in indifference Bought everything I've never wanted Some freak of apathy It's the hope that kills Easily distracted Hamstrung by my will Buried my instincts Falling apart at the seams I don't trust my lying eyes Or the air I breathe When did I lose it Was it ever there Torn to shreds And looking worse for wear Forgot by friends Another meal for one To these four walls, have I succumb Trapped by TV Lost in indifference Bought everything I've never wanted and Trapped by TV Lost in indifference Bought everything I've never wanted All the time in the world With no idea what to do All the time in the world With no idea, with no idea oh All the time in the world With no idea what to do and All the time in the world With no idea, with no idea oh Note to self Staring at the world Waiting for something, for something to happen Won't make it change Won't make a difference Must lose these shackles Must leave this house

My Heart Skips 03:08
lyrics
buy track
My heart skips One missed beat at a time Disconcerted by your smile You're everything I needed and more More than I deserve I've got the bruises to show The things that I fought for No longer make sense to me If I gave you my soul now Would you take control, how could you? If I gave you my soul now Would you take control, how could you? The radio silence Used to wash all over me But your signal broke on through Now I read you loud and clear Retracing my steps Guided by the sound of your voice Don't let me lose my way I'm lost without your love If I gave you my soul now Would you take control, how could you? If I gave you my soul now Would you take control, how could you? Leave me in the dark Stuck in no mans land Lost in limbo If I gave you my soul now Would you take control, how could you? If I gave you my soul now Would you take control now If I gave you my soul now Would you take control now

Sound Of Her Heartbeat 04:18
lyrics
buy track
Sound of her heartbeat Keeps you awake A sight for sore eyes She leads you astray Oh the city she whispers Whispers her secrets She turns a blind eye to Your moments of weakness She'll meet you when the night is young Leave before the morning comes With the sound of her heartbeat Ringing in your ears Sound of her heartbeat Ringing in your ears Pimps and profiteers Selling nostalgia Buy back your birthright The moment you found her Foreign turns familiar Dip your toe in the water The view from her bridge is to Kneel at her altar Her streets are where you belong She's the place you call home With the sound of her heartbeat Ringing in your ears Her streets are where you belong She's the place you call home With the sound of her heartbeat Ringing in your ears The sound of her heartbeat Ringing in your ears Sound on, lights camera action She steals the show Instant gratification She reveals your soul Sound on, lights camera action She steals the show Instant gratification She reveals your Travel like a drug through The veins of her city Devoted to the noise You overdose on her willingly An addicts obsession Casts a wide net The dead bury the living And pay their respects There's no meat left on the bone When the city sleeps your all alone With the sound of her heartbeat Ringing in your ears There's no meat left on the bone When the city sleeps your all alone With the sound of her heartbeat Ringing in your ears The sound of her heartbeat Ringing in your ears Sound on, lights camera action She steals the show Instant gratification She reveals your soul Sound on, lights camera action She steals the show Instant gratification She reveals your soul Sound on, lights camera action She steals the show Instant gratification She reveals your soul Sound on, lights camera action She steals the show Instant gratification She reveals your soul

Magnet For Trouble 03:34
lyrics
buy track
Absence makes me bearable I'm only loved from afar The gravity of the situation The pull of the night I'm a magnet for trouble Better pick up the pace I've got an urge to run I've got an urge to Break that promise That keeps us honest When the days all seem the same Break that promise That keeps us honest When the days all seem the same I speak without thinking Drunk on oxygen Forever misquoted You turn the screw As it's one time too many One too many times The thrill of the crime The thrill of the Break that promise That keeps us honest When the days all seem the same Break that promise That keeps us honest When the days all seem the same At my own risk Quote me out of context Better the devil you know That wins your heart and your soul At my own risk Quote me out of context Better the devil you know That wins your heart and your soul The truth you have to tell me It sticks in your throat It won't leave your lungs It won't leave your lungs I'm a cynic Desperate to believe You've taken me unaware Now the gloves are off The gloves are Break that promise That keeps us honest When the days all seem the same Break that promise That keeps us honest When the days all seem the same At my own risk Quote me out of context Better the devil you know That wins your heart and your soul At my own risk Quote me out of context Better the devil you know That wins your heart and your soul

Optimistic 04:17
lyrics

We're at sixes and sevens But all good things come to those that have Patience That man their stations I'm feeling positive So optimistic We haven't missed it With one more breathe The truth is told Who are you, who are you, who are you, who are you? I'll hold my head above love's parapet I'll hold my head, I'll hold my head Above love's parapet I'll hold my head, I'll hold my head Above love's parapet I'll hold my head, I'll hold my head Above love's parapet Am I still a picture on your wall Is there space for me anymore Or has another took their chance A new song, another romance? Who are you, who are you, who are you? Who are you, who are you, who are you? I'll hold my head above love's parapet I'll hold my head, I'll hold my head Above love's parapet I'll hold my head, I'll hold my head Above love's parapet I'll hold my head, I'll hold my head Above love's parapet Now I'm back, stronger than before A one track mind, not ready to fall I'll stake my claim, fight my case They stole your heart I need it back Who are you, who are you, who are you? Who are you, who are you, who are you? Who are you, who are you, who are you? Who are you, who are you, who are you? Who are you, who are you, who are you? Who are you, who are you, who are you?

Sharpen Their Knives 03:42
lyrics
buy track
When they sharpen their knives And dream of what to use them for When they sharpen their knives And dream of what to use them for To start new wars That settle old scores To take what's yours Their greed for more That's why they sharpen their knives With a pocket full of hate And the keys to the kingdom They'll promise the earth Make everything great again But the fix is in The fight is rigged They've stacked the odds Misplaced you bids The fix is in The fight is rigged They've stacked the odds Misplaced you bid The future is all yours Don't go easy on your enemy They'll sell your prospects short Don't go easy on your enemy The future is all yours Don't go easy on your enemy They'll sell your prospects short Don't go easy on your enemy Eyes roll back in their heads As they take another bite Hijack your cause And shift the spotlight Don't get numb Don't switch off Yell out in pain And call their bluff Don't get numb Don't switch off Yell out in pain And call their bluff The future is all yours Don't go easy on your enemy They'll sell your prospects short Don't go easy on your enemy The future is all yours Don't go easy on your enemy They'll sell your prospects short Don't go easy on your enemy

Everything Is Possible 03:09
lyrics
buy track
Everything is possible My heart is still beating But the weight of expectation Makes it hard to keep competing There's a dark room in my mind Where my thoughts are over exposed My head gets so heavy As those feelings grow And grow, and grow and grow Beyond this decimal point Where I'm too tired to dream There's a constellation of pride and hope Down hieroglyphic streets Where everything is possible If my lungs are still breathing Don't suffer fools Or forfeit ground Now's not the time Not the time, not the time, not the time It's easy, to believe Not to question all you see But to swallow what you read It's all to easy, to believe Rebellion in my mind Gives purpose to my fist I fight for life pleasures For a reason to exist A poster on a wall cries "Excellence through endeavour" Etched in muscle memory Forever, forever, forever, forever It's too easy, to believe Not to question all you see But to swallow what you read It's all too easy, to believe It's all too easy, to believe Not to question all you see But to swallow what you read It's all too easy, to believe

Sedition 03:23
lyrics
buy track
Sleep, sleep no more Eyes wide open staring at the wall Somethings broken My brain won’t switch off I think they Sold our future to remain in the past The good die young But the dumb last forever They come on strong screaming about terror Whipping up fear and raising walls We won’t get no sleep, no sleep no more Hold on (Hold on) Hold on to your dreams Oh hold on (Hold on) Hold on (Hold on) Hold on to your dreams The cult of personality A golden calf to feed upon your dreams Like a shark that's hanging from your heart They’ve bit in two all you held true Why bother with facts When ignorance is their badge of honour Waving flags with scapegoats round every corner The backlash starts before you've said a word The word's sedition but with all blame transferred Hold on (Hold on) Hold on to your dreams Oh hold on (Hold on) Hold on (Hold on) Hold on to your dreams

Lost Limb 03:42

Your memory haunts me like the ghost Of a lost limb I try and push aside my heart Withdraw within Blinded by my faith in what we had I failed to see That I'd sacrifice my life for another Minute of your time You never told me this story was over You always told me to never give in You never told me this story was oh oh oh over You always told me to never give in Disfigured by the absence of love The past is mine to be Nostalgic for an age I still Dare dream Blinded by my faith in what we had I failed to see That I'd sacrifice my life for another Minute of your time You never told me this story was over You always told me to never give in You never told me this story was oh oh oh over You always told me to never give in You never told me this story was over You always told me to never give in You never told me this story was oh oh oh over You always told me to never give in

Waiting On A Promise 04:18
lyrics
buy track
Distance is my enemy But towards you i will run I won’t let you become a memory I won’t wait for the starters gun I won’t make the same mistakes again No need to tell me twice Lead me back, back to your arms Lead me back to the paradise Where I’d pay a kings ransom To be allowed in your lions den Oh we’ve said goodbye too many times No more out of sight No more out of mind Waiting on a promise And counting down the hours Thoughts of you Keeping me sane Waiting on a promise And counting down the hours Thoughts of you Keeping me sane Delivered from distraction To a home away from home Whenever we’re together That’s where I know I belong They say fences make good neighbours But my misery needs company Oh we’ve said goodbye so many times No more out of sight No more out of mind Waiting on a promise And counting down the hours Thoughts of you Keeping me sane Waiting on a promise And counting down the hours Thoughts of you Keeping me sane Waiting on a promise And counting down the hours Thoughts of you Keeping me sane Waiting on a promise And counting down the hours Thoughts of you Keeping me sane, oh
