Falling 04:08
Turn my world around Torn and bereft Thaw the paint in red I called my own Haunting nightmares lash and flay Would you take me away? Love is all All is gone I don’t know if I would love you And I don’t know if I should love you Now I don’t know when I could love you But I do know that I will love you Draw me close Lost in your mind Frozen in time And falling High on light The end always true This night is due We’re falling Here I’m alone Nothing is left All the merit for my heart untorn Hope forlorn in one last say Could you take me away?

I wonder why And how I’ll fail today One more cruel surprise But still the pain’s the same Because I am, I am born to suffer I am, I am, I am the woeful one I am, I am born to suffer I am, I am, I am the one As low as I go I still fall Still fall While others fly high I just crawl Just crawl It kills me to know I’ve lost at ‘hello’ I am born to suffer No friend’s advice Or lover’s voice to soothe Alone I cry As arrows I remove I suppose I am born to suffer I am born to suffer, suffer, oh It won’t go I am born to suffer I am born to suffer, suffer, oh To hold to a hope is the key The key To unlock the door to my dream My dream But tears still do flow From so long ago I am born to suffer I am born to suffer…
3.
Walk my way alone I’m too far from home Queen of broken dreams Wherever I go Smiling like a pro On high end magazines You chase tears on my face I, I learnt to fly and I learnt to fall Just never forgot to rise after all I’ve lost my sight but never my will All that remains is a dark void to fill Check out my profile I will fake a smile Exquisitely for you Wherever I go Ready for the show But where’s the girl I knew So cold, welcome to my world

Ooh, read the signs Her aura’s divine Divine In rooms of blood red Where fools dared to tread Ignored what they’d known Their fate carved in stone (So the legend goes) You’re in too deep Face your fear Behind the curtain Oh, so many tried But what is clear The world’s her servant She needs no crown But always may she reign Your Highness is her name With lips like absinthe And ivory skin Surrender control Her eyes purge your soul (So the legend goes) You had to stare When you could hear Her call for certain Oh, so many tried But what is clear The world’s her servant She needs no crown But always may she reign Your Highness is her name Your Highness is her name Her wish is your demise Your Highness is her name And the ending goes Too late to weep So dry your tears Accept your burden Oh, so many died Over the years The world’s her servant She needs no crown But always may she reign Your Highness is her…

Broken from a night drenched in sweat and spite Mourning someone who claims they’re living Doom is their delight, only one invite To the torture, no prize for guessing… Lacerated skin, everything’s a sin When your dogma has bit through the chain In the twisted grin lies the guilt within But the truth’s etched in each new bloodstain My journals burn Your drawings too And why? My only wish Before I die’s To kill the ghost in you There’s a light that blinds the truth Guiding me, haunting you The bitterest forbidden fruit To write a line you don’t dictate You destroy, as I create Killing a ghost to save a life Once upon a time lived a valentine Sweet and tender, who made my heart sing Then this man declined right before my eyes To the victim who slashed my heart strings I still reminisce every single kiss Back when passion was pure and precious Now I just exist, waiting for the twist Of misfortune that will condemn us Ten months and six days Since one of us mentioned love Of course it was me, hoping that you Could still believe To write a line you don’t dictate You’ve destroyed my waning faith To kill the ghost before I die

Meteor 04:14
Rocks in the sky on fire Wishes on ashes to fulfil my desire You came into my atmosphere Don’t disappear, don’t disappear Did you know a shooting star is just a falling stone The death of an asteroid from the unknown But somehow I believe in the magic it can do You know what I wished for? I wished for you Wished for you Please come true I wished for you I saw a light above It burns and crashes but it’s love You left a trail of stars But this crater is ours
7.
Unstill Life 04:00
For all of my life I’ve agonised I’ve never felt at peace Oh what I would give to be with you And to just ‘be’ The inner voice is deafening It’s calling to demean And bless you throughout the maelstrom You are so serene And welcome to my Unstill life There’s horror in my head again From dark till light As sleep becomes a distant dream A sunlit autumn afternoon The seabirds and the sea When all of your worries fade away Except for me I don’t know How you can see the best in me But thank you so The truest friend I’ll ever need I don’t know How you still see the best in me But thank you so For being the breath of the unredeemed
8.
Before the morning light I’ve sold you Those words you told us have become true Am I the only one to see the need above Is this the only way to show my love Show my love If this is right how can it feel so wrong How can I stay when all the hope is gone Hope you will finally see me as I am When I see you again When I see you again I still can see you with my eyes closed Wish I could hold you here but I don’t Call me a traitor but I’ve lost a friend too No one will understand but I do I do I guess you know the sacrifice I made I never hang myself to numb the pain Embrace the hope and you will understand Why you’ll see me again When you see me again

Pale moon, black drops on my pillow You are the man I want, but you are not my hero We live on two different plains Chasing our dreams through dense haze This is what life is made of Tell me is this love? Like a lonely dawn You show up, you’re waiting here for me Knowing I won’t come Knowing that I’d rather live free Maybe it is destiny Maybe it’s not meant to be I was made for love Unfortunately…love wasn’t made for me I cry, I lie, I am an old wrecked train I’m waging war inside my old cracked brain That is what I am made of Tell me is this love? This is what life is made of Tell me is this love?

Hey lover What’s the quietness for Have we both given up Sitting in restaurants mumbling Stirring cold coffee cups Just like the couples we used to look at Who you would cruelly mock Would we be deluded if we tried To deceive the dreaded clock You tell me that I’m broken So then why is my heart open Only for the ones who care 'Cause I can spot devotion Oh, and when the feeling’s stolen From someone who wants to share Listen to reason, please And give me back all of the freedom That you’ve sadly wasted Faced with the fear we’re over rated And tell me what are we to do Tell me what are we to do Hey lover What’s the quietness for The echoes stalk each day Living as though there’s nothing left But a constant state of grey Hiding from troubles we used to laugh at As the tick conspires to tock Would we anger cupid if we tried To deceive the dreaded clock Every word I’ve spoken Hoping love is not a slogan That you use to clear the air When the passion’s frozen Token, lacking in emotion Far too weak to truly bear Take on your demons, defeat them Remember what you once believed in Something almost sacred Face it, nothing will replace it Oh, and tell me what are we to do Tell me what are we to do It’s no secret, we can’t pretend That we’re destined for a happy end Keep repeating every ‘fail’ Or aim for something that will prevail All the lies you’ve woven Chosen to reduce the ocean That exists between us pair Take all those bitter moments Own them, both of us have known them Say you’re sorry if you dare Make this the season that we can Go back to serving the dream And forget all the hatred, erase it There’s no need to embrace it Just tell me what are we to do Tell me what are we to do?

Tonight 03:42
You won’t see me tonight For you don’t need me tonight You have found a love You think I don’t know of So you’ll mislead me tonight If you want me to surrender You’re the only one here at war But battle lines are drawn Tell me what I need to know Just one line is okay, not a three hour play Tell me then I’ll start anew And I’ll soon slip away from this endless day I’m not broken tonight The truth is spoken tonight You have sold a dream With little worth for me And I’ve awoken tonight Tell me what I need to know Just one line is okay, not a three hour play Tell me then I’ll start anew And I’ll soon slip away from this dismal day Talk to me Honestly now We are barely ‘me and you’ So I’ll do what you can’t do Take you back? Good god, hell no! So keep your next bouquet for your new cliché Now you know, I’ll start anew And you’ll soon fade away from this special day

I’m longing for infinity One last stair to nowhere In my latest dream I felt so free But suddenly I was torn down by gravity Between my heart and yours After a million wars A wound that never cures A wound that I adore Secretly for evermore I feel when you’re in pain Even a million miles away When I close my eyes, I always see This moment and your scent In my last dream there were you and me But suddenly we were torn down by gravity Between my heart and yours After a million wars A wound that never cures A wound that I adore Secretly for evermore Can you feel my pain? Even a million miles away Even if you know that I won’t stay Even if your heart is dead ´Cause too much truth remains unsaid Between my heart and yours After a million wars A wound that never cures A wound that I adore Secretly for evermore I still feel your pain Even a million miles away
