Don't You Feel Guilty?
03:03
|
|||
Chaos follows your every step
Stamping on dreams and hope
Starting fires to burn your insecurities
It’s the only way you cope
You can’t see your own mistakes
Because no one’s better than you
That’s the way you see the world
Who are you to judge what I do?
Don’t you feel guilty?
About the way you betrayed me
Don’t you feel guilty?
About the way you betrayed me
Peeking through my fingers
Squinting in the dark
What the hell have you done?
What a way for you to leave your mark
You caught me off guard
And then you stabbed me in the back
My blood on your hands
Will never make me crack
Don’t you feel guilty?
About the way you betrayed me
Don’t you feel guilty?
About the way you betrayed me
Your facts are nothing more than fiction
Your lies are nothing more than an addiction
Don’t you feel guilty?
About the way you betrayed me
Don’t you feel guilty?
About the way you betrayed me

What Do I Say?
03:54
|
|||
In a town where dreams look for someone to cling to
I’ll tell you a story of a boy I once knew
His mother lied to him his entire life
Living all his years on the edge of a knife
His father was strong but not knowing his son
Too long at the office and no time for fun
Then the quarrels began between mum and dad
Stuck in the middle not knowing good from bad
So what do I tell him?
What do I say?
So mum and dad went their separate ways
And that’s when his life went astray
He entered a world of pleasures and pains
The highs and lows flowing through his veins
As a man he was just a scared little boy
Spiralling up and down into a void
Trying to drink himself out of this whole
Again and again spinning out of control
So what do I tell him?
What do I say?
The last time I saw him he was covered in blood
He died at thirty nine all he needed was love
So what do I tell him?
What do I say?

Dreaming
03:32
|
|||
I could have drowned in your eyes
Your beauty made me realise
That you’ll never be mine
But I couldn’t face it at the time
But that was a long time ago
And my heart is still a glow
With you the sun only shines
If only you’d be mine
I fell in love with your smile
I dreamed you were mine for a short while
So I’ll just keep on dreaming
Keep on dreaming…
Should I think of what could have been?
Perhaps things aren’t what they seem
Are the one that got away?
I suppose I never had a say?
So do you remember our only kiss?
Could you not’ve taken a risk?
If only you could see
That you’re the one for me
I’m in love with your smile
I dream you’re mine for a short while
So I’ll just keep on dreaming
And I’ll just keep on dreaming…
Without words you sing to me
We’re dancing on the breeze
Swimming trough cloudless Skies
Hand in hand we harmonise

I Don't Care Where We Go
03:01
|
|||
I don’t care where we go
Just got to get out of here
Take my hand and come with me
There’s nothing left for you to fear
Let’s run from the lies
And leave those fools behind
Let’s flee this rotten town
Where the blind lead the blind
Don’t turn your back on me
Take my hand and set us free
Don’t turn your back on me
Take my hand and set us free
Tear the pages from our past
Let’s forget what’s gone before
Put all your trust in me
Please don’t you worry anymore
Together we can take the night
We’ve got to live for today
I don’t care where we go
Please don’t push me away
Don’t turn your back on me
Take my hand and set us free
Don’t turn your back on me
Take my hand and set us free
I don’t care where we go
I don’t care where we go
I don’t care where we go
Don’t turn your back on me
Take my hand and set us free
Don’t turn your back on me
Take my hand and set us free
Don’t turn your back on me
Take my hand and set us free
Don’t turn your back on me
Take my hand and set us free

I've Spent Far Too Long
04:39
|
|||
I’ve spent far too long
Going over what’s come and gone
I lived that life before
Why do I relive it more?
I’ve spent far too long
Thinking of where I went wrong
Trapped in the torture my past
Reliving a life miscast
And the voices in my brain
Won’t let me escape the pain
And the voices in my brain
Won’t free me from these chains
I’ve spent far too long
Trying to figure where I belong
I couldn’t see what was right
Seeking out dark instead of light
I’ve spent far too long
Pretending that I was strong
Nothing but overthinking
While the all the time I was sinking
And the voices in my brain
Won’t let me escape the pain
And the voices in my brain
Won’t free me from these chains
I’ve spent far too long
Singing a drunken song
Looking for some kind of class
In the bottom of a glass
I’ve spent far too long
Thinking that I was wrong
But all along I was right
And so begins a brand new fight
And the voices in my brain
Won’t let me escape the pain
And the voices in my brain
Won’t free me from these chains

Never Dream Of Dying
05:03
|
|||
Soon the darkness becomes light
Moving silently in the night
When all is said and done
You’re a silhouette down the barrel of a gun
They’ve got their sights on you
It’s a deadly game of the truth
Black tux, white shirt, black tie
They’re expecting you to die
Never dream of dying
Never dream of crying
Never dream of lying
Never dream of dying
Never dream of dying
Never dream of dying
Assassination is an art
There’s a target on your heart
Never dream of falling in love
The world is never ever enough
A cold gun against your face
Never growing tired of the chase
Falling into a slumber
Double oh seven is the only number
Never dream of dying
Never dream of crying
Never dream of lying
Never dream of dying
Never dream of dying
Never dream of lying
Never dream of crying
Never dream of dying
Never dream of dying
Never dream of dying

Fading In, Fading Out
04:08
|
|||
Tearing yourself inside and out
Your head overflowing with self-doubt
The tears start to flow
As the envy starts to grow
Your hands start to shake
Your heart begins to break
You’re fading in, you’re fading out
Wishing you could just scream and shout
Feeling cold in the warm sun light
Burning up in the dead of night
And you world is falling apart
Life is ripping out tortured heart
Your hands start to shake
Your heart begins to break
You’re fading in, you’re fading out
Wishing you could just scream and shout
Muted by your own senses
Clawing at your own defences
Sitting there staring at the sun
Thinking if you only had a gun
Your hands start to shake
Your heart begins to break
You’re fading in, you’re fading out
Wishing you could just scream and shout
You’re fading in, you’re fading out
You’re fading in, you’re fading out
You’re fading in, you’re fading out
You’re fading in, you’re fading out

It’s been a long time
A long time since we last met
We were younger then
And out for all that we could get
We had the fun
The fun that young guys often do
Those party nights
The beers the cheers and party girls too
I don’t think I know
I don’t think I know you anymore
I don’t think I know
I don’t think I know you anymore
All those memories
Recollections of good times gone by
We though we knew it all
And that the laughs would never die
But that was long before
Long before you led yourself astray
And now you’re back
It’s hard to know what to say
I don’t think I know
I don’t think I know you anymore
I don’t think I know
I don’t think I know you anymore
Where were you
Where were you in my hour of need?
Laughing in my face
Laughing at my face leaving me to bleed
You’ve changed so much
No longer the boy I once knew
All our teenage dreams
All our dreams disappeared from view
I don’t think I know
I don’t think I know you anymore
I don’t think I know
I don’t think I know you anymore

Nothing's Wrong
02:56
|
|||
Cold stone against your cheek
Burning your face you feel so weak
How could they look in your eyes?
And feed you so many lies
Like a child begging please
Struggling up from your knees
You’re slowly dying inside
You’re nothing without your pride
And so your passion’s faded
Your life feels so jaded
And you can’t go on
Pretending that nothing’s wrong
Nothing seems to be enough
You seem to have run out of love
Like Tattoos of bad news
It’s just your heart you have to loose
Forcing dirty lies and Schemes
Now they’ve stolen all your beautiful dreams
You haven’t counted your blessings
And you haven’t learned the lessons
And so your passion’s faded
Your life feels so jaded
And you can’t go on
Pretending that nothing’s wrong
So what do you dream at night?
Do you still have the will to fight?
Sitting in your broken home
As you reach for the phone
But don’t call me coz I won’t answer
This mess is your disaster
This mess is your disaster
This mess is your disaster
This mess is your disaster
This mess is your disaster
This mess is your disaster
This mess is your disaster

Leave You In Hell
03:42
|
|||
So where do I begin?
Trawling the depths of sin
Yeah, Sex drugs and rock ’n’ roll
It’s time for you to sell your soul
She’ll trash your bed for a couple of drinks
She doesn’t care what others think
Her skirts so short and tops are low
There’s nowhere where she won’t go
She’ll push you then she’ll push you more
She’ll push ‘til you hit the floor
She’ll put you under her spell
Take you to heaven and leave you in hell
Leave you in hell
Blood red lips and deep green eyes
There will be no compromise
Don’t be scared, be petrified
You’re now anesthetised
You can’t escape from her grasp
You pray that this won’t last
She’ll tease you from the very start
Then tear out your beating heart
She’ll push you then she’ll push you more
She’ll push ‘til you hit the floor
She’ll put you under her spell
Take you to heaven and leave you in hell
Leave you in hell

Burning Bridges
03:45
|
|||
Seeing yourself in a broken mirror
Looking at what you’ve become
You lash out at those you love
Screaming things that can’t be undone
You’re a victim of your own mistakes
And you look for someone else to blame
Your whole world lies in pieces
‘cause you can’t take the strain
You’re burning bridges
You’re burning bridges
You’re burning bridges
You’re burning bridges
Like a spoilt child you stamp your feet
Firing out vile abuse
You take so much and give so little
Never thinking of what you might lose
You offer another olive branch
Demand someone to free your chains
But there are no apologies
Expecting others to put out the flames
You’re burning bridges (And you’re fanning the flames)
You’re burning bridges (And you’re fanning the flames)
You’re burning bridges (And you’re fanning the flames)
You’re burning bridges (And you’re fanning the flames)
You try to escape the daily grind
And run away from your pain
Trying to dry your eyes
In the pouring rain
You wonder why you’re pushed away
By those you call your friends
And as they turn their back on you
You wish you could make amends
You’re burning bridges (And you’re fanning the flames)
You’re burning bridges (And you’re fanning the flames)
You’re burning bridges (And you’re fanning the flames)
You’re burning bridges (And you’re fanning the flames)

Out Of My Head
03:47
|
|||
Another long journey home
A thousand red lights is all I see
A storm is brewing in my head
My demons closing in on me
Another night that’s just the same
Alone in the dark with nothing to feel
All the let ups and let downs
But I guess that’s the deal
You are my pleasure, you are my pain
Nothing venture, nothing gained
I must be going insane
I’m outta my head again
You’re my first and only love
A daily welcome with open arms
You’re there to numb my pain
As I fall for your golden charms
Am I victim or victor?
Going over the same old ground
Nothing ever seems to change
Spinning around and round and round
You are my pleasure you are my pain
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
I must be going insane
I’m outta my head again
You can’t hear these words I sing
You can’t feel the pain I’m in
But you’re the one on who I depend
You’ll be with me to the end
