Verse 1:
I might love you
But that don’t mean you can walk right over me
And I might feel you
But honey I’ll still leave you be
And I might dig you yeah
There ain’t no need to disrespect
And I might want to
But I ain’t tethered to you yet
Chorus:
What? You think I’m sticking around?
Hey! Can you pick up what I’m laying down?
Fool me twice is it shame on me?
No! Shame on you!
Verse 2:
Said you hate silence
Well baby whatcha calling this?
Don’t want no man child, no!
You be Sir, I’m Little Miss
Chorus:
What? You think I’m sticking around?
Hey! Can you pick up what I’m laying down?
Fool me twice is it shame on me?
What? You think I’m sticking around?
Hey! Can you pick up what I’m laying down?
Fool me twice is it shame on me?
No! Shame on you!
Bridge:
Push my face in the dirt I will rise again
Feel the pain and the hurt but I fly again
Never give in, I'm here to try get to the end
In this game of life, so I came to win
You know what man? Fuck it let the games begin
I'm in a world where peace doesn't seem to exist
Just war upon each other poor and the rich
We all bleed the same colour so whose war is this?
Fall in the abyss or brawl until the finish
Get trawled or crawl, stand tall as the victorious winner
Haul out the competition, solidify your position, never quit
It's time to rock much harder than before
Harder than the floor your face planted in the the hall
Harder than the ball that hit you in the balls
Farandicus and Blaksawd kicking in ya door
Chorus x4

Throwaway Youth

Verse 1:
Stay, where you going?
Another day we should be loving
Too many ways to entertain
No use
Stay, you’re always going
A different way and getting nothing
Too many ways for losing faith
Slow bruise
Chorus:
Let me spin and you’ll begin to hear the truth
But don’t move, 'cause we all lose
Time and time I try to carry your reproof
It’s a cold truth
Throwaway youth, throwaway youth
Verse 2:
Stay, you’re no showing
Don’t contemplate, you’re all knowing
Too many ways for losing faith
No use
Chorus
Bridge:
Look up!
See your life
In high definition
Recondition
Chorus:
Times I tried to carry your reproof
It’s a cold truth
We all lose yeah
I tried to give you the truth
Don’t move, don’t move
Time and time I tried to carry your reproof
Well it’s your move
Throwaway youth, throwaway youth

Crosses

Chorus:
Take a second turn and walk away
I can’t believe I stood and looked but had no words to say
Everyday we hear about the moments when life was hopeless
Stare at the mirror, see a stranger where my face should be
I don’t recall the moment life reclaimed my empathy
Everyday we think about the moments when life felt hopeless
Verse 1:
Haze of a memory
Try to grasp but it’s always just out of reach
Escapes like water in our hands
Who are we?
Echoing loud and clear
All the voices, you’ve locked away in here
Divert and slow the flow, the flow from the weir
Disappear
Chorus:
Take a second turn and walk away
I can’t believe I stood and looked but had no words to say
Everyday we hear about the moments when life was hopeless
Stare at the mirror, see a stranger where my face should be
I don’t recall the moment life reclaimed my empathy
Everyday we hear about the moments when life was hopeless
Yeah life is hopeless
Verse 2
You can run but you won't break through, the
Tangled web of a misspent youth, and
No one else can help you to choose, to
Navigate your way to the truth
Rain cries down and washes clean the dust that whispered censure
The tired wings of a bird in a storm, can’t
Let it in or he’ll lose it all, an
Avalanche hitting everyday, if we
Stay and fight will we walk away
On it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes
Leaving crosses in our minds
Verse 3:
And I wish I could see it all differently
Glimpse the world through the eyes of a child
'Cos it would look beautiful and everyday a new miracle
My heart sing a sweet refrain with love residing there again
Chorus:
Stare at the mirror, see a stranger where my face should be
I don’t recall the moment life reclaimed my empathy
Everyday we hear about the moments when life was hopeless
But life’s not hopeless

Proclaim you love me
Swear you’re never gonna leave
Then enlighten me ‘bout all the things
That are wrong with me, oh yeah

You don’t really want me
You want who you think I’m gonna be
But this is who I am
I’m not perfect

Who I am, this is who I am
Gotta love me for who I am

What to Give
04:46

Part 1
Verse 1:
Don’t listen, try to take all that I got
Demanding what I couldn’t give
Frozen smile, panic rising to the top
Pull back the earth, see how I live
Chorus:
Say, what’s your name?
Yeah, and what’s your number?
C’mon now, what’s your name?
And what’s your number?
Every time I wander in they’re askin’ me for all I got
And every time I’m wonderin’ what to give?
Say, what’s your name?
And what’s your number?
C’mon now, what’s your name?
Yeah, and what’s your number?
Verse 2:
Silver tongue and binding words are what they got
“A sacrifice you’ll never miss”
Fill in the blanks, the only way to make it stop
There ain’t no backin’ out of this
Chorus:
Say, what’s your name?
Yeah, and what’s your number?
C’mon now, what’s your name?
And what’s your number?
Every time I wander in they’re askin’ me for all I got
And every time I’m wonderin’ what to give?
Every time I wander in they’re beggin’ me for all I got
And every time I’m wonderin’ what to give?
So what’s your name?
Yeah, and what’s your number?
C’mon now, what’s your name?
And what’s your number?
Part 2
Verse:
Tell me what to give?
Should I reveal my hand to you?
Or bluff my worth time and again?
If I bare my soul, gave you control
Would you share it ‘round or keep it whole?
They say the truth will set you free
What about me?

Verse 1:
We began just like a movie
That neither of us have ever seen
Your beautiful melody moved me, your song I wanted to sing
I never understood why you were down
And why I stayed around
But to the heavens I look up and smile
'Cos you never left town
Am I the only one girl?
Seems like a stupid question
Sometimes I'm insecure
You're a blessing and you're so precious
You came to me when I was rolling outta control just like a boulder aye
Until I felt an angel's hand touching my shoulder
People be giving me evils
But I just let it ride
Telling you girl he's a demon
You see my truth inside
I know I'm lucky to find you is something that not many people can have
My vulnerabilities literally killing me 'cos I'm a selfish man
Guess I should chill out
Trust you don't ill out
It's you and I
My mind is overcrowded
With voices I hear inside
Just stick by my side and I
Will promise to do my best
Girl, i'd be beside myself if you ever left
Chorus:
Moving through my veins
Deadly slow
Consume me
I breathe to know
That I'm the only one
Say I'm the only one
Verse 2:
I do everything I can
But you don't appreciate it, man
I'd run all across this land shouting out that you are the greatest
My patience wearing thin, waoh where should I begin, waoh
Why should I come home to this and be treated like shit when I'm a king?
Girl, get yourself together
Lets make our bond much better
Enough is enough so stop being so rough and tough like leather
Competitors there are none compared to us, we are one
These arguments are nonsense
Why don't we have some fun
Come along for the journey
I want you next to me
Your attitude needs tuning
I'm trying to make you my queen
All of these jealous questions
Yet I've done nothing wrong
My only crimes progression elevating closer to god
Open your eyes and focus
Maybe your eyes are broken
I'm waking up next to you
Somehow it goes unnoticed
You're checking me asking me constantly baby please tell me am I the one?
If you dont believe me then baby
We are done
Chorus:
Moving through your veins
Deadly slow
Consume ya
You need to know
That you're the only one
That you're the only one
Bridge:
And I'm pleading now
I can't reason out, no
There ain't no way to be free
'Cos all I need
Breakdown:
Am I the only one?
Girl, am I the only one?
I need you to tell me right now
Am I the only one?
Am I the only one?
Girl, am I the only one?
I need you to tell me right now
Am I the only one?
Chorus:
Moving through my veins
Deadly slow
Consume me
I breathe to know
That I'm the only one

I'd Rather Be Lonely
03:52
|

Verse 1:
You were there
To mend these broken wings with love I’d
Never had, never had, never had
And when I fell
You found a perfect jar to keep me
Close to you, close to you, close to you
Verse 2:
I didn’t even notice I was missing
For your love, for your love, for your love
My fortitude laid bare at your feet
You were God, you were God, you were God
Pre-Chorus:
You need a woman in hand to make you a man
You were under my skin
Chorus:
I’d rather be lonely
Than be with a man like you
I’d rather be lonely
Than be with a man like you
Verse 3:
Cloaked in deceit
A breathing secret underneath
Choking on lies
But no one knows, no one knows
Bridge:
I’d rather be without you, I’d rather be without you
I’d rather be without you
Now I come back to an empty home, but
I’d rather be without you, I’d rather be without you
I lie awake cold and alone, but
I’d rather be without you
But I’ll still be without you
Chorus:
I’d rather be lonely
Than be with a man like you
I’d rather be lonely
You were God, you were God, you were God
Pre-Chorus:
You need a woman in hand to make you a man
Take me apart
Tattoo my heart
You were under my skin
Chorus:
I’d rather be lonely
Than be with a man like you
I’d rather be lonely
Than be with a man like you
But I’ll still be without you

Oh when you’re in need

Your head above water
You can come to me
And I promise
I will hear you
Verse 3:
Come cry to me
Oh when you’re weary
Come let me hold you
And give your soul some peace
And if you wanna sleep
Said if you wanna sleep
Honey you know I’ll sing to you

I will comfort you now
Come to me now
Come to me now

Verse 1:
Trouble out of nothing
Feel I'm going under
Dogged by the memories
Drowning
Weakened with feelings
What’s the use fighting?
Blinded by the darkness
Drowning me
Pre-chorus:
Baptise me
In the flood now
But it don’t wash me clean
It’s just pulling me on
Fading out
Need a miracle
Where is the magic man?
There ain’t no road gonna take me home
Chorus:
Pieces on the ground
My autumn leaves
Surrounding me
Keep a candle burning for when I make it back
If I make it back
Verse 2:
Sing for salvation
To an empty room
Tongue a poison arrow
Failing
Passing as a shadow
Drift along four walls
Soothing and familiar
Failing now
Pre-chorus
Instrumental
Chorus
Verse 3:
Trouble out of nothing
Slowly going under
Dogged by the memories
Drowning
Passing as a shadow
Drift along four walls
Soothing and familiar
Failing now

Take me home
Take me home

Verse 1:
One two three
If I open my
Eyes I'll be
Back inside your room
All I know
Is my happiness
Is there behind your locked door
And I can't get in anymore
Your words caressed me but now this
Chorus:
It doesn't make sense!
No, no
It doesn't make sense!
But before I go
Just tell me is there anything about us you really feel
And did you think it fair to treat me like this?
Say it's not really done
Babe
Verse 2:
"I won't go"
That's what you told me
Just before
I shared my heart now
All I know
Is my happiness
Is there behind your cold stare
Hide behind the manager
Your words caressed me but now this
Chorus
Bridge:
You turned me inside out
I'm walking the line
Tell me what it's about
Don't leave me paralysed
Chorus x2

Wings Made of Wax
04:22
|
|||
Verse 1:
I’ve been looking
For a little place to hide
And I’ve been running
But I’m slowing down all the time
Am I crazy?
People say I’m doing it all wrong
Am I crazy? No, no!
Never feel like I belong
Chorus:
Why I gotta do that, say that, be that
Just so I can fit with you?
(Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back)
Why I gotta do that, say that, be that
Just so I can fit with you?
(Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back) x2
Verse 2:
You think I’m failing
'Cos I’m living in this house alone
Well I got sweet music and my family
So I’m never really on my own
Chorus:
Why I gotta do that, say that, be that
Just so I can fit with you?
(Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back)
Why I gotta do that, say that, be that, feel that
Just so I can fit with you?
So I can fit like you
My wings may be wax, but I ain’t never comin’ back
Bridge:
So many people just don’t understand
I don’t wanna have kids
Don’t wanna find me a man
And no, I don’t own the house where I live
I’m renting a flat
There’s no sexy in that
I’m not drinking, I’m not out thinking
‘Oh I gotta score
My esteem is sinking’
I’m never gonna be
What I think you want from me
Who the hell are you?!
I’m not tall, I’m not thin
I’m messed up in the head
There’s days when I can't even get outta bed
And no I don’t have a ton of degrees
I got no profession
That’s not my obsession
Am I losing, 'cos I keep choosing
Happiness first
Why’s that so confusing?
I get shit pay, but at the end of the day
I like the job that I do
Can the same be said for you?
You say “Who the hell are you? Jibe’s what you gotta do!”
I wanna be free!
Chorus:
Why I gotta do that, say that, be that, so I can
Fit with you?
(Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back)
Why I gotta do that, say that, be that
Just so I can fit with you?
(Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back)
So I can fit like you
(Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back)
So I can be like you
(Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back)

Verse 1:
I was tired
Weight of the world upon me
Shrouded in darkness
Just sorrow and pain for company
Now I’ve been saved
Feel the healing hand upon me
I was blinded, blinded
But now these hopeful eyes can see
Verse 2:
Picked me up,
Breathed the blessed life in me
Gave me comfort
Gave me a reason to sing
Now I got faith
Bathed in the glory
I felt forgiveness
I felt the healing hand upon me
Chorus:
You got religion
But I got soul
I got soul!
Bridge:
Now I’ve been saved
Feel the healing hand upon me
Bathed in the glory
Gave me a reason to sing
Now I’ve been saved
Feel the healing hand upon me
Bathed in the glory
Gave me a reason to sing
Chorus:
You got religion
But I got soul
I got soul!
