The Pressure 03:27
Too sick and tired I’ve been working away Missing my home that’s under siege Been charging Wired till we see the next day Kissing someone I’ll never see again Won’t stop at green lights Flashing to make me blind On top I’ll stay My passion cannot subside Despite the pressure coming on Right now I feel the pressure coming on I’ll fly despite the pressure coming on I’ll die feeling the pressure coming Too faded waking Losing focus again Dragging my bones all through the wilderness Lethargy will not make a hostage of me Duty’s been calling all my life Won’t stop at green lights Flashing to make me blind On top I’ll stay My passion cannot subside Despite the pressure coming on Right now I feel the pressure coming on I’ll fly despite the pressure coming on I’ll die feeling the pressure coming I feel the pressure coming on Right now I feel the pressure coming on I’ll fly despite the pressure coming on I’ll die feeling the pressure coming

I need a pick-me-up To lift me up and take control Losing momentum From our self-inflicted rigmarole Feeling hazy in a daze Without a resting place to lay These nights are stealing my composure And I’m losing count Of the toxins That will keep my senses freaking out I could die or survive Either way I know I’ll pass out So please just give me time to catch my breath Before you find I’ve got none left Give me a minute cos I’m on the edge To prepare myself for what comes next We continue to indulge in paradise Lose our minds in the longest nights Amused to find our darker sides No rest until we start again The toxins trickle through my veins A poisoned waterfall Sinking teeth into my brain Sensations are at war And all around me lies everything I came for Masking up, making out Falling out, making up Take a bow, take her upstairs I found out they’re making love And I’ll let you be the judge So give me something to speed up my breath And tunnel vision in distress No limits so I’m on the edge I’ve dared myself for what comes next We continue to indulge in paradise Lose our minds in the longest nights Amused to find our darker sides No rest until we start again We continue to indulge in paradise Lose our minds in the longest nights Amused to find our darker sides No rest until we start again My mind is numb, I’m tired These chemicals have expired These creatures keep on creeping Sesh gremlins will soon be sleeping I’m falling face forward, deeper into the drama Staring and slurring Help, I feel my vision turning People are calling but I can’t hear a thing they’re saying Where is the exit? I’m falling face forward, deeper into the drama Staring and slurring Help, I feel my vision blurring People are screaming But I can’t comprehend this situation I’m in How did this begin? We continue to indulge in paradise Lose our minds in the longest nights Amused to find our darker sides No rest until we start again We continue to indulge in paradise Lose our minds in the longest nights Amused to find our darker sides No rest until we start again

There’s snow in October Her nose all red I’m so far from sober It blows my head Let’s hit back these shots And I know what’s left to do Eclipse in my mind when the vibe’s set right Dancing in time with the cries at night We sing to the ones that we’ve heard time after time Been faded for so long I feel my patience Won’t be long until it cracks Not alone in my antics But like a virgin I’m anxious for euphoria For you For euphoria For euphoria For euphoria There’s green leaves in autumn Her eyes all red My heightened emotion is time well spent I’ll call up the boy And we know what’s left to do We trip to the beat as we ride each wave Smile in the heat cos we won’t be tamed We turn up Create something that could not be staged Been faded for so long I feel my patience Won’t be long until it cracks Not alone in my antics But like a virgin I’m anxious for euphoria For you Balancing the risk I’m taking Without breaking down No turning back around from here Balancing the mix I’m taking Piff loud, rake and drown My sorrow won’t be found in search In search of euphoria Oh euphoria Oh euphoria Oh euphoria

Exposed 03:32
Who could have guessed this freak event? My dreams and passion bent and broken Left to rot and die She shone a torch into the well Her name ringing bells Reminding me of days gone by Forgotten how to love Have I exposed my soul enough? Rip the shirt off my chest With my back to the bed Tip me over the edge till I fall for you Kiss me into darkness Watch you slowly undress Tip me over the edge till I fall for you I could fall for you I could fall I could fall for you I could fall I’ll pick the place You choose the time The rest we’ll leave to wine To drive us into each others arms Felt rotten when she flew Can I expose my soul to you? Rip the shirt off my chest With my back to the bed Tip me over the edge till I fall for you Kiss me into darkness Watch you slowly undress Tip me over the edge till I fall for you I could fall for you I could fall I could fall for you I could fall What you waiting for if what you want is me? Girl I could be yours I’ll love effortlessly You run into my life but sprint too fast to see It’s fun to seek and hide Until you’re cast into the sea

Compelled 03:37
What you want? What you want from me? What makes you feel so incomplete And compelled to see a piece of me disappear? Where you from? What you desperate for? Abuse me to convince yourself How you feel ain’t justified Without a little help Make a wish and come alive Take your pick of wasted time Summer screams for lullabies It’s my dream to make her mine Make a wish and come alive Take your pick of wasted time Summer screams for lullabies It’s my dream to make her mine Help me gravitate away from here Attack my static state of mind Overcast, I couldn’t face the cold outside Though we know it’s temporary We try pretend it’s forever For fear of demons that won’t go away Make a wish and come alive Take your pick of wasted time Summer screams for lullabies It’s my dream to make her mine Make a wish and come alive Take your pick of wasted time Summer screams for lullabies It’s my dream to make her mine I’m leaving behind my thoughts of a dream To circumvent reality One too many times I’ve fallen asleep Instead of staying true to me Me, me Instead of staying true to me Me, me

My body’s aching under strain Think I need to get away People staring on this train In my eyes they see the pain So I race against myself Compromising on my health These cities take me to the edge Searching for love until I’m dead Always searching for love Always searching ‘round for love Always searching for love Always searching ‘round for love Missed the alarm, woke up to see That I’m now better off alone Think it’s the harm she’s done to me That somehow rendered strong my bones Just navigating forever away from the swamps in my mind I’ll run my course through this jungle Till love’s what I find Always searching for love Always searching ‘round for love Always searching for love Always searching ‘round for love Long I’ll roam Drawing deeper breaths With every passing cloud I’ll go through the wilderness The quest for love’s lost ground Slow days Bring me down when I’m OK Make me drown in my old ways Look for love in the wrong place Help me get through the slow days… Bring me back to the road

You are the blood inside my veins Reaching my soul Spreading your love throughout my bones When I look deep into your eyes Your innocence shines like the stars up in heaven Always stood by your every word You’re the highest flying bird that’s first in flight No doubt you’ll get what you deserve A love that’s not of this earth Sometimes I’m nervous when I talk But I’m reassured By your complexion in its complexity When all these things are said and done Will you help me fight my demons? Cos I’m overwhelmed Always stood by your every word You’re the highest flying bird that’s first in flight No doubt you’ll get what you deserve A love that’s not of this earth

No Passion 03:48
I caught a glimpse of the stars Before I winced at the thought Of letting go of what I’ve become A mismatch of making a start and falling apart I dove right into the trap without a counterattack And now I wish I could forget your face Along with every other mistake that blinded my heart I used to contemplate and overcompensate For a love-shaped void that you left I’d overthink my fate and overcomplicate Each decision, I’d deteriorate I thought I lost every piece, a broken identity My controls were set to self-destruct A pilot was falling through the air and you didn’t care I took a gigantic leap and watched the titanic sink Put my courage to the test as I floated Washed up and barely alive You left me to die I used to contemplate and overcompensate For a love-shaped void that you left I’d overthink my fate and overcomplicate Each decision, I’d deteriorate Now do you hear me loud Now I’m clearly proud that I’m still alive Dragged through the mud Driven mad to become The man with no passion to hide No passion to I used to contemplate and overcompensate For a love-shaped void that you left I’d overthink my fate and overcomplicate Each decision, I’d deteriorate Now do you hear me loud Now I’m clearly proud Dragged through the mud Driven mad to become a man

Today 03:52
Today I’ve come to a realisation I’ve been trying to escape a sense of regret For too long And I don’t wanna be trapped anymore Wanna break out and rise once again Cos it’s do or die My life depends on this I fell in love Gave everything away Leaving only skin and bones An empty shell of a man to rust away Dust covered romance came to stay But I’ll set my sights back on the road From today Today I’m bathing in acceptance I’ve been trying to ignore my pain and yours For too long Never thought I would feel that way, unexpected Surprised to make amends Wanna leave behind A life not meant to be lived I fell in love Gave everything away Leaving only skin and bones An empty shell of a man to rust away Dust covered romance came to stay But I’ll set my sights back on the road From today I’ve been so dormant and motionless Finding what’s normal ain’t effortless Been smiling for formal impressions Yet was crying from torturous second guesses You saw the soul extracted from me Cast out into the sea A lover left for dead But you will watch and won’t believe The flight I’m on to my dream I’ve seen the light today Take-off counting down 3, 2, 1

Flashbacks 03:54
I’ve been old from a young age An overloaded gun within love’s range I was never made to fit the mould Like a ghost I’ll reappear when the time’s right The speed I’ve grown it feels like a lifetime I couldn’t wait to feel the cold Flashbacks will hypnotise To cast your mind to waste Once trapped and lost inside my past In time and space I’ve taken off Now I’m racing through the universe I’ll never stop I’ve surrendered to the universe I’m a mix of different culture Will contradict the stories that you’ve heard I was never made to chase the gold I’m like a boat disappearing on the skyline I can feel my dream in my eyesight I was astray and lost control Flashbacks will hypnotise To cast your mind to waste Once trapped and lost inside my past In time and space I’ve taken off Now I’m racing through the universe I’ll never stop I’ve surrendered to the universe Flashbacks will always come and go And leave you all alone You’re on your own But what you know Is how to move along
