Energy

Can I wonder what is life without your soul?
Cannot feel that, before I was truly whole.
But I don’t want for nothing more for me.
Feeling lifted. What is it about your touch?
Never felt a look or warm embrace this much.
But I don’t want for nothing more.
Let me be your energy.
Show me the way.
Open arms and hold me close.
In the moment we stay
Can I ask you what you see inside my eyes?
When I saw you, only then I realised
That I don’t want for nothing more.
Let me be your energy.
Show me the way.
Open arms and hold me close.
In the moment we stay

There You Go

I thought that I wanted it. I thought that I knew.
I thought it was time. I thought I was through.
Maybe I’m better now. Maybe I’m good.
Who would’ve known?
I tried to fight but you make me feel so warm inside.
You make my senses feel so very high.
Just your look makes my soul come alive. So alive
There you go, tip toe up and down the line
And you’ll say, “Don’t you know, we’re all victims of our own design”
So make me
I never guessed that you would appear.
Making me notice. Filling me with fear
Now that we’ve made it along this far.
I can believe
I tried to fight but you make me feel so warm inside.
You make my senses feel so very high.
Just your look makes my soul come alive. So alive
There you go, tip toe up and down the line
And you’ll say, “Don’t you know, we’re all victims of our own design”
So make me
There you go, tip toe up and down the line
And you’ll say, “Don’t you know, we’re all victims of our own design”
There you go, tip toe up and down the line
And you’ll say, “Don’t you know, we’re all victims of our own design”
So make me

Trust No One

Sometimes we all need know what path we’re on in life.
And you find that message in a bottle
And you know was not for but you read it anyway.
Don’t tell anyone but read me what it says.
It says we all fall down.
It says we all fall down.
You see yourself but don’t know if it’s really you.
Your reflection spins you another lie which you believe.
Will you trust me?
When you find the message in the bottle.
Would you read the letter to me.
You know it’s not for but you read it anyway.
You told everyone now read me what it says.
It says we all fall down.
It says we all fall down.
You see yourself but don’t know if it’s really you.
Your reflection spins you another lie which you believe.
Will you trust me?
You see yourself but don’t know if it’s really you.
Your reflection spins you another lie which you believe.
Will you trust me?

Angel Lust
04:54
|

|
Run late dancers make you over again.
Take their innocence and run away.
Nothing left but fake heroes to defend.
Won’t you help me to get away from this?
This hate-filled empathy that I miss.
Please help me fulfil my one true bliss of tragedy and peacefulness.
I can’t help it. This world is cruel.
Help me be an individual.
All my morals turn to dust. I’m relying on an angel.
Twilight roamers entangle you with their song.
Like a virgin you turn away.
Nothing left but a tainted soul to reclaim.
Won’t you help me to get away from this?
This hate-filled empathy that I miss.
Please help me fulfil my one true bliss of tragedy and peacefulness.
I can’t help it. This world is cruel.
Help me be an individual.
All my morals turn to dust. I’m relying on an angel.
I can’t help it. This world is cruel.
Help me be an individual.
All my morals turn to dust. I’m relying on an angel.

A Look
04:42
|

|
Catch a fleeting moment and let yourself truly see.
You’re always undecided. But now you choose to be free.
Let me be the one who comes through and helps you believe.
Come embrace the future, your heart is where you achieve.
Come away and find me because I was made to find you here.
In this moment forever. Say you’ll stay forever near
Put it all upon me, my heart will make sure you’re found.
Do not sit in silence. Your truth makes the purest sound.
Eyes that greet a stranger. Your smile was all that it took.
Come and sit and listen. ‘cause I ever need is a look.
Come away and find me because I was made to find you here.
In this moment forever. Say you’ll stay forever near
Come away and find me because I was made to find you here.
In this moment forever. Say you’ll stay forever near
Come away and find me because I was made to find you here.
In this moment forever. Say you’ll stay forever near
Come away and find me because I was made to find you here.
In this moment forever. Say you’ll stay forever near

Broken Hands
04:06

I make my way down upon my broken hands. It is too hard to see.
I will die a lonely and a bitter man, broken down by me.
I had my fortune told. I was a younger man.
It broke my heart to learn of the stories my future self would go create.
Condemned, crippled and burned.
When I’m there you will see all of the better parts are hidden in me.
Take my breath and hold me tight. Don’t let go now is the time.
Such a shame that you could not take the path with me. It was too much to bear.
Now I’m confused and just a little scared of life. All my choices aren’t fair.
When I’m there you will see all of the better parts are hidden in me.
Take my breath and hold me tight. Don’t let go now is the time.
When I’m there you will see all of the better parts are hidden in me.
Take my breath and hold me tight. Don’t let go now is the time.

I Know
03:12
|

|
I cannot place the memories.
So ask yourself “Where am I?”
Judge me on only what you see.
Don’t look me by.
I know, I know I’ve tried to keep it all inside.
I know, I know I’ve kept a mask on to disguise.
I know, I know that you can see it in my eyes.
I know, I know.
There’s so much beauty in the fall.
It gives yourself a border.
I’ve felt so much, yet feel nothing at all.
Don’t look me by.
I know, I know I’ve tried to keep it all inside.
I know, I know I’ve kept a mask on to disguise.
I know, I know that you can see it in my eyes.
I know, I know.
I know, I know I’ve tried to keep it all inside.
I know, I know I’ve kept a mask on to disguise.
I know, I know that you can see it in my eyes.
I know, I know.
I know, I know I’ve tried to keep it all inside.
I know, I know I’ve kept a mask on to disguise.
I know, I know that you can see it in my eyes.
I know, I know.

Stay

I have the strength to lift you like no one ever could
I have the heart to love you the way the others should
I have the hands to hold you the way you should’ve been
I have the eyes to see you the way you should be seen
So give me a little more time
Can you see me? Here I stand.
We can lay here, hand in hand.
Can you see me? Here I stand.
We can lay here, hand in hand.
Won’t you stay with me? Won’t you stay?
I have the faith to fill you and help you to believe.
I have the time to give you and help you to achieve.
I have the sense to hear you the way you should be heard.
I have the want within me. I will not be deterred.
So give me a little more time
So give me a little more time
Can you see me? Here I stand.
We can lay here, hand in hand.
Won’t you stay with me? Won’t you stay?
Can you see me? Here I stand.
We can lay here, hand in hand.
Can you see me? Here I stand.
We can lay here, hand in hand.
Won’t you stay with me? Won’t you stay?

Angel

Oh angel, take off your wings and let me learn how to fly.
Oh angel, take off your halo and let me learn how to cry.
Oh angel, take out your eyes and let me learn how to see.
Oh angel, take off your skin and let me finally be.
‘cause you’re wasted. You’re wasted on me.
‘cause you’re wasted. You’re wasted on me.
Oh angel, show me your light and guide me out of the gloom.
Oh angel, send me your speed and tell me I’ll get there soon.
‘cause you’re wasted. You’re wasted on me.
‘cause you’re wasted. You’re wasted on me.
Oh angel, take off your wings and let me learn how to fly.
Oh angel, take off your halo and let me learn how to cry.
‘cause you’re wasted. You’re wasted on me.
‘cause you’re wasted. You’re wasted on me.

Waste Of A Girl
08:00
|

|
She stares at herself in the mirror. Her reflection urges on.
She takes another double shot to ease the reality.
She hopes she’ll find the lost and found and sink in her warm bath.
The tears all make the same movement.
And I’m sorry for what you must do.
But I don’t care anymore. It is her choice.
She’s another faceless name.
Her tears distort her image as her eyeliner smudges her cheeks.
I remember a story she told me once about when she was a child.
It’s a happy story but now the time has passed all the pieces get moved around.
The pain on her face. Such a shame. She’s beautiful.
Again, I’m so sorry but I don’t care anymore.
It is her choice.
I remember the times she smiled. Such a beautiful smile.
She places her daddy’s old cloth shirt over her dungarees.
She feeling it gives and the warm comfort reminds her of his embrace.
We waited outside as she came out of her house. Her eyeliner gave it away.
The smudges were clear but all that she did was smile.
Again, I’m so sorry but I don’t care anymore.
It is her choice.
She’s another faceless name.
All the people, whisper softly, of a girl who wandered gently ‘til the end.
