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

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 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 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

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

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

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

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
11.
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)

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
