Free Me
03:51

Existential thoughts running through my head
Need to change before I wind up dead
and I think I know the score
Time is running out, I move too slow
This is all I have, I have to show
and I wanted so much more
Hey now, Free me...
Searching for the man I want to be
Picking up the pieces on one knee
and I wanted to forgive
I don't even know if I like this dream
All the things I hear make me want to scream
and it's not the way I live
Hey now, Free me...
Even when you call me on the telephone
Speaking in tongues, you're all alone
and I know you'll never see
Trying to find the point of what you say
Thinking of a reason I should stay
When I wanted to be free
Hey now, Free me...

Never the Same
03:55

It's never the same, it's never the same
It's never the same, it's never the same
You left me once, I asked you twice
You slammed the door, I paid the price
You cut your wrist, I cut you out
You turned the other cheek, I have no doubt
It's never the same, it's never the same
Second time around...
You weren't yourself, I waited round
You had an accident, I could have drowned
You couldn't help yourself, and I withdrew
You didn't try too hard, I guess you knew
It's never the same...
You asked me back, I had to think
You set me up again, I was on the brink
You couldn't change, I've seen the light
You lied the whole time through, I know I'm right

Second to the Right
05:35
|

|
You were the girl who started it all
You knew which way to go
I was the lost boy waiting
For my cue to start the show
All the world was waiting
For the thought to cross our minds
This is the way it was meant to be
Our lives entwined
Second to the right and straight on 'til morning
Second to the right, we'll make our way together
Second to the right and straight on 'til morning, baby
Second to the right, we'll make it last forever
No-one tried to block our path
Or stopped us in our tracks
Following roads that rose with us
We watched each others backs
All the while the sun was setting
Falling from the sky
This is the path we chose to run
Fight instead of fly
Second to the right...
You were the girl who wanted it all
You knew which way to go
I was the lost boy chasing shadows
How was I to know
All the world was changing
and we remained the same
This is the way it will always be
Playing in my game
Second to the right...

Kid
04:26
|

|
You bruised my mind, I couldn't breathe
Designs upon my heart, I was deceived
I let you trample all my dreams
You held me back on purpose, so it seems
You were the one that I could never kiss
Tried to bring you close, you just dismissed
You were the one, you couldn't stand to wait
Cast the world aside, you only hate
Who do you think you're kidding
Wen you say you care
Who do you think you're kidding
You weren't there
You couldn't take your own advise
But still expected mine, you rolled the dice
You dress yourself in royal clothes
Pretending to be someone else, who knows
Didn't really try to make the time
Saw yourself as special, so sublime
Never thought to pause for just one thought
Fighting battles no-one else had fought
Who do you think you're kidding...
You came into my life and crushed me to the floor
You took my liberty and left me wanting more... More!
Who do you think you're kidding...
I'd had enough, I went to ground
Reclaimed my confidence, I was unbound
This life is short enough without you poison soul
I'm digging myself up, out of this hole
You we're the one that I could never kiss
Tried to bring you close, you just dismissed
You were the one, you couldn't stand to wait
Cast the world aside, you only hate
Who do you think you're kidding when you say you care
Who do you think you're kidding, you weren't there

Prodigal Son
05:17
|
|||
|
Somewhere in the mists of time
You set my soul alight
Broke the ties and formed the lies
that kept things out of sight
Lies, lies became the truth
Silence took it's hold
Word, words remained unsaid
My story left untold
I'm the Prodigal son, I'm all you're waiting for
The Prodigal son, I'm here to stay
The Prodigal son, you thought you'd lost me now
The Prodigal son, you thought I'd gone away
Summer ends and brings you down
You have to make a choice
Worlds apart and bleeding hearts
It's time to raise your voice
Time, time is moving fast
The boy is now a man
Wait, wait it's not too late
Accept it while you can
I'm the Prodigal son...

Forget to Breathe
03:55
|
|||
|
Never see and never leave me
Have no recall, down beneath me
Summer seats and summer storms
Seasons wait for no-one
Never heal and never hate me
Put the world to rights around me
Hold your breath and count to twenty
This is going nowhere
Sometimes I forget to breathe now, sometimes I want to
Sometimes I forget to breathe now, sometimes I need to
Sometimes I forget to breathe now, sometimes I want you
Sometimes I forget to breathe now, sometimes I need you
Time is all we have between us
Silent as the grave awaits us
Close the door, turn the key
This is all we have now
Sometimes I forget to breathe now...

When she was seventeen and time was moving slow
Taking in and taking on, riding the ebb and flow
She wanted everything, she want everything
So many words to find, so many songs to sing
The girl the world forgot still wonders
Where it all went wrong
The girl the world forgot still lingers
She is standing strong
When she was twenty three she gave it all away
Giving up and giving in, seemed the only way
They never saw the light, they never saw her shine
It wasn't worth the wait, it's just a waste of time
When she turned thirty six, she had a change of heart
Digging in and digging deep, suffering for her art
She found her second wind, she finally found a voice
With all the time she'd lost, she didn't have a choice
The girl the world forgot no longer
Wonders want went wrong
The girl the world forgot still lingers
She is standing strong

Landslide
05:10
|
|||
|
So many lies have passed your lips
Reality's the fable
For all the strength you claim to show
You're anything but stable
and all the world's a stage
A victime of your ego
Cash controls the world at large
Our lives are just a game show
Listen to voice of a million People
Talking in their sleep
Look into the eyes of a million people
Trying nor to weep
This is a landslide, this is a landslide
This is a landslide, landslide, landslide
So many years have passed me by
I wish I'd been more generous
I thought my world was second best
An awkward frame of reference
You hide so many things
I find it hard to know the truth
You said you wanted to forget
I can't believe you meant it
Listen to voice of a million People
Talking in their sleep
Look into the eyes of a million people
Trying nor to weep
This is a landslide, this is a landslide
This is a landslide, landslide, landslide

On the Run
04:41
|
|||
|
She's the one with diamonds in her eyes
a heart of stone and lips like knives
She can cut you with a single word
She's never shaken, never stirred
And all the truths she tells are lies
Your trust and faith her only prize
manipulate, gaining trust
Calculated, never rushed
On the Run...
Twisted logic helps her pray
Desperate measures, forced to stay
Brush away all self esteem
Never challenge, never scream
Even though her guise is paper thin
She never fails to reel them in
Peel back the layers one by one
Never stop, she's on the run
On the run...

Only Time Defeats
04:19
|
|||

Sometimes words can heal us
Actions speak when all else fails us
All told, we have to try again
Only time defeats us in the end
Every day I think of you
Still believe it's not too late
Guilt is strong, but love is stronger
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Breathe in deep and then exhale
You're the queen of this fairy tale
Take my heart, please make things better
Don't give in to time, don't give in to time
Sometimes words can heal us...
Stripped of all my dignity
Only names remain inside
Torn apart, battered down
Nothing left to lose or drown
Won't you hold me one more time
Share the end of this nursery rhyme
Take my hand, please make it better
Don't give in to time, don't give in to time
Sometimes I forget to breathe now...

Secret Sister (2021)
04:40
|

Are you the girl with deep brown eyes
That hides a story just like mine
Living in a world you don't belong to
Do you have thoughts the same as mine
Of the all the things that could have been
Dwelling on a past that never happened
We share the things that make us real
We've grown apart, but still I feel
One day soon we'll finally know each other
and when we do, I hope and pray
The bond is strong enough to stay
To light the path the two of us must wander
You are the same as me, at least that's how I feel
I didn't know I needed you, to help this wound to heal
When I find out who you are, I hope you feel the same
So many years we've left behind and still so much to gain
My secret, my secret, my secret Sister...
