A Punch to the Gut 04:33
lyrics

Spinning My head is spinning Sometimes it feels like the evil is winning I look around I start to drown I feel like my words don’t make a sound They don’t make a sound Each newscast feels like a punch To the gut To the gut I can’t handle all of this stuff All of this stuff All of this stuff Get me off this misguided bus Or it will be the death of us Get me off this misguided bus Or it will be the death of us Oh when it gets too much I can’t help but laugh I can’t help but laugh Oh when it gets too much I can’t help but laugh I can’t help but laugh Turning My stomach’s turning As I watch the world burning They’ve gone insane It is so plain But we have no one but ourselves to blame Ourselves to blame Each newscast feels like a punch To the gut To the gut I can’t handle all of this stuff All of this stuff All of this stuff Get me off this misguided bus Or it will be the death of us Get me off this misguided bus Or it will be the death of us Oh when it gets too much I can’t help but laugh I can’t help but laugh Oh when it gets too much I can’t help but laugh I can’t help but laugh Oh when it gets too much I can’t help but laugh I can’t help but laugh Oh when it gets too much I can’t help but laugh I can’t help but laugh Can’t help but laugh Can’t help but laugh Each newscast feels like a punch To the gut To the gut Each newscast feels like a punch To the gut To the gut Each newscast feels like a punch To the gut To the gut

When it’s on the tip of your tongue but you can’t taste it When it’s on the edge of your mind and you don’t wanna waste it When you can feel it in your heart and you can’t shake it When you’re holding it in your hand afraid you will break it Feel like I’ve been hit by A meteor Feel like I’ve been hit by A meteor Feel like I’ve been hit by A meteor Feel like I’ve been hit by A meteor When it’s on the tip of your tongue but you can’t taste it When it’s on the edge of your mind and you don’t wanna waste it When you can feel it in your heart and you can’t shake it When you’re holding it in your hand afraid you will break it I lost it Then I found it again I lost it Then I found it again Feel like I’ve been hit by A meteor Feel like I’ve been hit by A meteor Feel like I’ve been hit by A meteor Feel like I’ve been hit by A meteor

Your words like poison Your eyes are empty pits Your face shows ugliness It bleeds out from within Your image fades to black I'm dodging an attack I don't have the time to be a victim to your crime I wanna be alone I'm making my way home I won't pick up when you call Please don't bother me at all Your face shows ugliness It bleeds out from within Your words like poison Your eyes are empty pits I got it I got it I got it I got it I got it I got it I got it I got it Your image fades to black I'm dodging an attack I don't have the time to be a victim to your crime I wanna be alone I'm making my way home I won't pick up when you call Please don't bother me at all

If I could travel in time I wonder what threads Would unwind If I could see the future I wonder if it would Change my mind If you could change your history Would you write yourself A different story Is it even possible to change The karma you are fated to exchange We are all Written in the pages Of the atoms of The universe Everyone you know Has their own seeds to sow And the garden of time She isn’t always kind Like it or not The present tense is all you got So open up and see We each have our own destiny We are all Written in the pages Of the atoms of The universe Everything you do The colour of your past It surrounds you Everything you see The present tense is shaped by your history Everything you do The colour of your past It surrounds you Everything you see The present tense is shaped by your history Everything you do The colour of your past It surrounds you Everything you see The present tense is shaped by your history

Faster love The kind you throw away, oh Faster love Only here for a day Out of sight Out of mind Out of sight Out of mind You see, Life’s a journey Even if you run away Oh, the same road it will find you Even when you try to stray Faster love Faster love

Stronger Than (feat. Marty Carter) 06:06

I saw a star Shining in the night sky She pointed me In the right direction The clouds rolled in They circled round And I saw my reflection I am afraid That I have lost my only beacon Success is terrifying It lights me up And then it burns me down Success is terrifying It lights me up And then it burns me down And I wonder why I can’t be satisfied With what I’ve got With what I’ve got…… I saw my star Out of the corner of my eye She always shines brightest When I’m not even looking Fascinating how I Can be right on the edge of it And still not feel it So I talk to myself And I feign the courage The courage to be more than I am…. And I tell myself I am going to be Stronger than, stronger than, stronger than I ever thought I could be And still stronger And I tell myself I am going to be Stronger than, stronger than, stronger than I ever thought I could be And still stronger And I tell myself I am going to be Stronger than, stronger than, stronger than I ever thought I could be And still stronger And I tell myself I am going to be Stronger than, stronger than, stronger than I ever thought I could be And still stronger And still stronger Stronger…

She was like a spider And he loved her A terrible desire Set him on fire One look in her sapphire eyes He was done for Oh, he would have killed Or died for her Ohhh She was so cold Calculating Ohhh Like the moon Uninhabitable But that smile Crushed like a diamond She made him hers Ohhh she couldn’t let let him go Ohhh how she broke him She broke him in two He came unglued Ohhh She was so cold Calculating Ohhh Like the moon Uninhabitable But that smile Let me die a while Let me die a while She was like a spider

Look Up (feat. Darkwater and Stars) 04:30
lyrics

I’ve never felt so alone, standing in a crowded room The lights are on but you missed the sense of impending doom Have you ever had a moment where you realized That everyone around you is gonna die Everyone around you is gonna die I’ve never felt so exposed as I am standing in front of you The neurons are firing but you’ve blown a fuse Have you ever woken up from a daydream But everyone around you is still asleep Everyone around you is still asleep What’s it gonna take for you to awaken Past your conditioning I thought the hammer had dropped, but You’re still walkin on, Walkin that walk
Talkin that talk, like we’re not In this awful mess we’ve gotten Ourselves tangled up in I know it’s hard to see those knots from within But look up for a moment and take stock I know it’s a shock, but you gotta get off This sinkin ship Before you lose more than you ever knew could be lost I’ve never felt so repulsed as I do when I look at you I can see the remedy but you haven’t got a clue Have you ever had a moment where you stepped outside And noticed everyone around you has lost their minds Everyone around you has lost their minds What is it that you need to break yourself free From this failing ideology Get up off your knees Stop feeding their greed I can guarantee this isn’t what you need So don’t follow the blind, or the unkind Open up your mind and you’ll see we’ve been tryin’ To show you what’s in front of your face Before we lose the entire human race Before we lose the entire human race

You say you want to go to heaven But the only place left is hell You say you want to go to heaven But not from what I can tell You say you want to go to heaven But you don’t want to pay the toll You say But you’re walking hell’s road You are digging your own hole You are digging your own hole You say you But all your chivalry is fake You say you But you’re headin’ for the fiery lake You are digging your own hole You are digging your own hole You are digging your own hole You are digging your own hole

He Wasn't There 04:34
lyrics

On a late, cold November afternoon As I was walking by the lake I saw him standing at the edge of the dock Running his fingers through his auburn hair As if he could feel my eyes from behind He turned and our gaze met And I knew him But the next moment, suddenly I watched as he plunged himself Into the depths of the icy water I ran, dropping my coat, and kicking off my shoes Taking a deep breath, I willed myself to jump As I hit the water, I let out a scream Underneath I went, swimming towards the bottom The water was thick with weeds But clear enough to see I swam in circles for what seemed like an eternity But he wasn’t there He wasn’t there He wasn’t there

It Takes Two (feat. Mr Gleam) 05:34
lyrics

Headlights on, driving home in the rain Every day is exactly the same He opens the door, hangs his coat, looks her way Neither of them have much left to say He heads to bed, after a quite night He wonders if it was better when they used to fight It’s like all the air has been sucked out of the room Something needs to change, and it needs to happen soon And he knows it will never be as it was But he’s forgotten how to show her his love It takes two, to repair a broken heart But one of them’s got to be ready to start It takes two to repair a broken heart But it only takes one to tear it apart She makes him breakfast, same thing as yesterday She watches him drink his coffee in the usual way She remembers the day that she walked down the isle She never imagined that anchor would be so fragile She’s stuck in the past, she longs for days of old Before both of their hearts had grown so cold She tries her best, swallows her pride, takes on the day But she wonders if she’d really miss him if he went away And she feels helpless, and she feels alone She wonders if her house will ever feel like a home It takes two to repair a broken heart You have to decide that it’s better than being apart It takes two to repair a broken heart But some things weren’t meant to be, right from the start Right from the start Right from the start
