I can’t afford not to see, see you waiting there.
But I need you to see when I feel like it’s not fair.
Why don’t you know?
Where did you go when I’m standing here, watching you just watching them?
But I wanted to feel like I mattered more.
Now I know what’s revealed since you closed that door
I won’t let it demise so I’ll take strain
It is written in your eyes. It’s the same mistakes again
Why don’t you know?
Where did you go when I’m standing here, watching you just watching them?
Can you still see me?
Why don’t you know?
Where did you go when I’m standing here?
Now why don’t you know?
Where did you go when I’m standing here, watching you just watching them?

Missing Piece

Stand with me love, and hold onto my hand.
You’ll be the skies now and I’ll be the land.
Whisper to me as I stroke your skin.
We’ve waited a lifetime so let’s begin.
Home is where I want to be
Home. What you’ve given to me.
And you ask for a lake, and I’ll give you the sea.
A lifetime of moments is what matters to me.
You’re my missing piece.
I can’t love you slowly, it’s all or it’s not.
I want you for life love, in case you forgot.
Home is what you mean to me.
And you ask for a lake, and I’ll give you the sea.
A lifetime of moments is what matters to me.
You’re my missing piece.
And you ask for a lake, and I’ll give you the sea.
A lifetime of moments is what matters to me.
You’re my missing piece

Invisible String
02:58
|

|
The deepest gaze saw straight through my walls.
Now I walk forward knowing that if I fall,
Your sweetest embrace can lift me back tall.
I’ve never been good at being too small.
The touch of your hand inside of my heartbeat,
Made me realise that I’ve been incomplete.
There’s something about the way that you move,
Made me forget everything.
Pull me into your life inside of your soul,
With your invisible string.
So come dance with me where nobody sees.
Nobody else puts me down on my knees.
There’s something about the way that you move,
Made me forget everything.
Pull me into your life inside of your soul,
With your invisible string.
There’s something about the way that you move,
Made me forget everything.
Pull me into your life inside of your soul,
With your invisible string.

Gift Of Flight

So take a minute but don’t you wait.
Your bittersweet eyes will mask your hate.
Be yourself forget what you can take.
You play the game but you’re ten years too late.
Tell everyone about your wings, about your gift of flight.
Let them know about your sins, about your fight.
Bleed yourself. The pain cannot escape.
Cry yourself to sleep. Your body aches.
Be the difference you wanted me to make.
Please yourself. Your aura is a fake.
Tell everyone about your wings, about your gift of flight.
Let them know about your sins, about your fight.
Tell everyone about your wings, about your gift of flight.
Let them know about your sins, about your fight.
Tell everyone about your wings, about your gift of flight.
Let them know about your sins, about your fight.

The Greatest View

Take it or leave it. There’s something to say,
But it won’t come out easily.
Now that there’s movement. So come what may.
We all choose what we want to see.
So make a decision. Create your own fate.
Let it be known that we’re not on our own.
The future is coming, so let’s not be late.
Show everybody how much we’ve grown.
I never needed something to say,
But I need to hear you.
Now that I’ve noticed, it’s all on your face.
You’re the greatest view.
When will they see you for what you can be.
Take on all the lessons that we have learned.
Let them all notice now that we’re free.
Reap the rewards from what we’ve earned.
Now we burn brighter than the burning flame.
We can finally join ourselves in more than just a name.
I never needed something to say,
But I need to hear you.
Now that I’ve noticed, it’s all on your face.
You’re the greatest view.
I never needed something to say,
But I need to hear you.
Now that I’ve noticed, it’s all on your face.
You’re the greatest view.

Chasing

Warm and soaking wet.
You’re so warm when you regret.
Warm and soaking wet.
You’re so warm when you regret.
And you take away.
You take away.
And my breath escapes when you take away.
Cold against my skin.
You’re so cold when you’re within.
And you take away.
You take away.
And my breath escapes when you take away.
(Inside)
And you take away.
You take away.
And my breath escapes when you take away.
(Inside)
Take away
(Inside)
Take away

Your Touch
03:10
|

|
The ghosts ask me to dedicate but I only self-medicate,
To keep them all from breaking through.
The shadows here all follow me. My past just will not let me see,
What is here and really true.
I now know just what is real. I cannot let them make me feel,
Or make me stray from what is here.
Maybe now I’m truly found, getting lost inside the sound,
Instead of being lost in fear.
This is my open wound, I’ll let it bleed.
I cut myself open and release my doubts.
Can you calm my demons before I bleed out?
Because all of the pressure weighs me down too much.
The voices are silenced with only your touch.
I have to do this now for you.
Because the only way out is through all the times that it’s rearranged.
Standing outside in the rain, I recognise it all again.
It is time to break and change.
And now that I’m truly lost I can realign.
I cut myself open and release my doubts.
Can you calm my demons before I bleed out?
Because all of the pressure weighs me down too much.
The voices are silenced with only your touch.
I cut myself open and release my doubts.
Can you calm my demons before I bleed out?
Because all of the pressure weighs me down too much.
The voices are silenced with only your touch.

Within A Moment

Did you say that I am underrated? Do you see the value placed inside?
Could you help me realise potential? Now I want to see you.
Be the one who makes it truly matter.
I will stand with you no matter what.
We will face into a brighter future.
Now I want to see you.
I can’t imagine a life without you now.
In a moment we know.
Two souls collide together.
A force to truly show
Did I hear you say you’d been forgotten?
I will shine a light and let them see all the things that they are missing out on.
One day they’ll see you.
I can’t imagine a life without you now.
In a moment we know.
Two souls collide together.
A force to truly show
I can’t imagine a life without you now.
In a moment we know.
Two souls collide together.
A force to truly show

Lighthouse

Maybe it’s time to take your place, take your turn.
One day you’ll realise how much you have helped them learn.
Because it is not over. The journey has just begun.
And I hope you realise that you are the one.
I’ll be the rock you build your lighthouse on.
And I’ll keep you true in the face of the storm.
You can see the changes in all those who care to see.
You shine so brightly, my love.
There’s no other way to be.
I’ll be the rock you build your lighthouse on.
And I’ll keep you true in the face of the storm.
A beacon of hope,
To guide all of the lost souls in from the rough and the cold
