Inside you'll find pop, rock, country, electro and a smattering of soul. And some really miserable lyrics. Enjoy!Buy Now $5 USD or more

- Track Name: Show me the way
-
a sombre light falls
as we're walking home
you can break me, shake me
but please don't leave me alone
I'm hoping for an answer
hoping that I don't drown
in the pain and the shame
and the feelings when you're not around
oh, if I'm wrong
it's not your fault
so light my torch
it's getting darker with the day
and I want you
to show me the way
follow the light overhead
for the misguided souls
who've been awakened, shaken
crying and desperate for home
honey, make my lamp burn
tell me which way to go
give me a light by night
with a fire I've never felt before
oh if I'm wrong
it's not your fault
so light my torch
it's getting darker with the day
and I want you
to show me the way
oh my love
please listen
there's a lot in my life
I've been missing
oh if I'm wrong
about the light
i still wanna
try to fall
oh if I'm wrong
it's all your fault
so light my torch
it's getting darker with the day
and I want you
to show me the way
you light my torch
your love is brighter than the flames
and I want you
to show me the way - Track Name: One more heart attack
-
before I'd seen you
I'd never thought about
how it'd feel to
I'd never thought about it
till now
no warning until now
so before I fold
I'm asking you to stop
you're so close
my heart rate won't drop
one more heart attack
never let it be denied
who's whose life support
when you've got me tangled up inside
if you're just a girl
all I want's to feed your desire
before another heart attack
will come on
yeah I've seen you
and know you've thought about
what it means to be
lost without a doubt
and there's no doubt
so before I fold
I'm asking you to stop
you're so close
my heart rate won't drop
one more heart attack
never let it be denied
who's whose life support
when you've got me tangled up inside
if you're just a girl
all I want's to feed your desire
before another heart attack
will come on - Track Name: Hold me close
-
through sleep I crawl
out of the dark
between these four walls
and I touch your arm
hold you close
till the feelings start to form
what's the point
when I already know
how it's gonna stop?
when I already know
I'll disappoint, I'm too slow?
But I want you to know
that I want you
to hold me close
all I know
is in the heat of summer
the light starts
to fall away
all that's left
is a breeze incoming
the feel of your hair
dancing across my face
what's the point
when I already know
how it's gonna stop?
when I already know
I'll disappoint, I'm too slow?
But I want you to know
that I want you
to hold me close
don't stall
don't falter
I'll be there
won't stumble
or alter
I'll just stay
what's the point
when I already know
how it's gonna stop?
when I already know
I'll disappoint, I'm too slow?
But I want you to know
that I want you
to hold me close - Track Name: Take back every word
-
Lying on the floor, you breathing my name
Filling up my thoughts, whispering again and again
"If you want more, you'll have to change
Till your heart is right to share"
But I'm drowning so suddenly
And I want you to give me air
Before I faint,
But you know there's no other way
And darling my mind won't change
My heart's your trophy to display
So make it stop, take back every word you say
Cause there's nothing false about wanting you this way
Without a word of a lie, neither fantasy or faith
I want you to fall for me, and for me to be the same
Don't open up your eyes
Cause in the moment before you wake
Sunlight streaming across your face
Is the sign I'm gonna stay
Sometimes there's no hope, yeah, you're right
There was a time when I wasn't sure, but tonight
I want more and I want you, so don't try
To say a word that might mean "no", just be silent and so…
I wait, 'cause something's gotta' change
I want you to fail in whatever you're gonna say
To make it stop, take back every word you say
Cause there's nothing false about wanting you this way
Without a word of a lie, neither fantasy or faith
I want you to fall for me, and for me to be the same - Track Name: You're gonna fall
-
i know i can feel the heat
one kiss leaves me standing in awe
i know i need to breathe
right now, but i want it all
and i know you're gonna fall
no time, no thought
no talking about it now
a sign, a light, a kiss
lifts me off the ground
and i know you're gonna fall
man, when i fall
i don't see what's coming now
i know what i want
and it's all i've been thinking 'bout
when you get this close
there's no way out
i don't want you to stop
i just want to...
know that you're gonna fall
heaven knows how you got so close
i know you're gonna fall - Track Name: Dying embers
-
every night I give it all I've got
cause I don't know how to stop
the one thing I hold on to
each night I hold her in my arms
a halo to keep her from harm
but I'll only stay if she wants me to
and we fought amidst the dying embers
to start a fire amidst the dying embers of
what I lost and what I found
is just the dying embers of
what we used to want
there's a pile of her clothes lying in a heap
everything's so empty without her here
every broken kiss in a lifetime to miss her
each drink tells me how I'm weak
for every locked door, she is the key
for my sins, she won't let me in
and we fought amidst the dying embers
to start a fire amidst the dying embers of
what I lost and what I found
is just the dying embers of
what we used to want
what we used to want was to be the same
with every moment apart the feelings waned
whatever we shared washed away like the rain
cause you are the stars and I am the sea
all turmoil below but glitter above me
I can't explain why it should be
that we fought amidst the dying embers
to start a fire amidst the dying embers of
what I lost and what I found
is just the dying embers of
what we used to want - Track Name: A dark art
-
where i was once myself
i'll be someone else
but before i change
i want you to see the lie
don't make a sound
when you know, you know
there's no lie
when you know
i disappear without a trace
as the light's fading down
another skin to replace
who you thought you were talking about
it's a dark art just to change
whatever you thought i was feeling now
what the hell was i feeling anyhow? - Track Name: Not living anymore
-
you were on my side
I'm gonna let it go astray
I thought you were my soul mate
cause a soul would be easier to save
though I wanted all I fought for
there's no sense to what you claim
whether something to seek, something to need
embattled and hidden within
I send a line, thought too long
till there's no time
and I wanna know why I oughta try
when I'm not living anymore
some might say, I'd love to find a way not to hate
that sigh in place of what you should
when we both know every word
is a betrayal
though your empire may have grown
that empire now must fall
behind the walls that keep you alone
build them higher with thicker stone
oh, that sigh
a promise of pain coming tonight
and I wanna know why I oughta try
when I'm not living anymore
some might say, I'd love to find a way not to hate
that sigh in place of what you should
when we both know every word
is a betrayal
I drowned the light that once enveloped
every part of me and I expected
a better life than this but who says what's better
so pull up the walls and drive her out forever
so you go tonight
another victim of my reign
strong enough to hope
dumb enough to stay
and through bloodshot eyes
you're running to standstill
I've been running tired
and I wanna know
and I wanna know why I oughta try
when I'm not living anymore
some might say, I'd love to find a way not to hate
that sigh in place of what you should
when we both know every word
is a betrayal - Track Name: Aflame
-
shaking so hard
sweat pouring down
heart beating too fast
starting to pound
with each kiss
you sedate
another desire
I oughta medicate
baby, it's all I want
to find someone
who's the same as me
baby, it's all i want
to find out
who it's gonna be
just around the time
I was finding out
you're the kinda girl
who leaves no doubt
I'm not the first guy
to change
you're not the one
to set my heart aflame
stamp it in, stamp it out
I want to know
baby, it's all I want
to find someone
who's the same as me
baby, it's all i want
to find out
who it's gonna be - Track Name: Satellites
-
pretty blue on grey
it's already turning to steel
nights coming early now
turning on a wheel
silver streaks the sky
there was something on her mind
but under the lights
I tell an honest lie
in my dreams I always die
we pass each other like satellites
on an orbit we could never maintain
in this atmosphere
the brightest stars tumble to the ground
falling in love but never making a sound
on an orbit we could never maintain
in this atmosphere
full of booze and wired
she's a dinosaur spitting fire
spinning me around
till these flames expire
well I know this desire
is trying to reach your heart
but I'm so tired
of you tearing mine apart
in my dreams I always die
we pass each other like satellites
on an orbit we could never maintain
in this atmosphere
the brightest stars tumble to the ground
falling in love but never making a sound
on an orbit we could never maintain
in this atmosphere
you're not my life any more
I'm not who I was before
I'm not tied up in the alcohol
cause you just drink
you don't move on
you don't know me any more
in my dreams I always die
we pass each other like satellites
on an orbit we could never maintain
in this atmosphere
the brightest stars tumble to the ground
falling in love but never making a sound
on an orbit we could never maintain
in this atmosphere
