Better Times 04:31
lyrics
buy track
You’re so pretty I find it easy She lives for nothing But I always try I wait for someone to come and save me Haven’t felt salvation lately And I remember another story And better times She loves Jesus more than me She don’t care for meaning But she says her life is real And to see I need to believe Is there anyone listening Is there anyone who will speak Am I the only one who feels You won’t practice what you preach

Little Midnight Owl 02:02
lyrics

I don’t want you to come with me now
When we’re a bit older I’ll Take you out for a night on the town You’re my little midnight owl c’mon We’ll go out all around Through the streets up and down Hearing all the sounds we’ve found You’re my little midnight owl c’mon You’re everything I want So give me just what I need And don’t you ever stop Loving me baby Who cares what they say We don’t play those games anyway I want you to come with me now You’re my little midnight owl Why don’t you come with me now We’re a bit older and I’ll Take you out for a night on the town You’re my little midnight owl c’mon

A Long Goodbye 03:43
lyrics
buy track
It tells me something when you don’t say anything Your words are nothing when you’ve lost all feeling You know I can’t stand this all What have you been meaning to say Don’t tell me what you’re reconsidering You’ve always got something in the way And all I hear is the buzz of fluorescent lights All your chattering is such a waste of both our time You don’t need to lie to me, I can see it in your eyes And I can tell it’s gonna be a long goodbye I’ve gotta stop this dreaming, I’m through imagining That we can work this out There’s gotta be some reason There’s gotta be something, there’s just gotta be

Time Bomb 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Oh he’s breaking my heart He says it’s no big deal It was nothing then, there was no feeling What am I to say Where should I start, we were lost in the moment But moments never happen when there’s devotion Is it such a shame We was a time bomb ticking but you didn’t care And I’d never want to ruin your affairs And I can’t understand why you try But it’s too late now, you’re wasting time Nothing you say is gonna change my mind And I can’t understand why you try No I can’t understand why you try Ooh baby you’re no good to me I know what I need It’s not you I’ve been set free And I’m leaving these days behind I can no longer stand your state of mind I’m through, through with all these games There is no reason, for me to stick around You must have known this was coming down And you’ve only got yourself to blame And he says, he says he’s sorry But I don’t want an apology Yeah he says, he tells me he’s so sorry Oh can’t you see, it’s your love I need

Perfect World 04:00
lyrics
buy track
I’ll tell you this once, I’m cutting the rope I’ll tell you again, it’s time to let go It’s time to believe it’s not what you see It’s hard to awake from inside a dream So cut to the core, it’s all that’s left We’ve forgotten the rope, forgotten the rest Maybe it’s time, it’s time to let go Oh maybe it’s time, we’ll never know Hold on We’ll stray from the truth it’s the killing lies Broken soul, weary eyes Pray for the world, pray for the sun I’m on my own, oh God I’m done Running from reality These crashing waves are killing me We’re out of control, we’re out of control Oh maybe it’s time, we’ll never know I fought the world, I fought the times I saw the reasons, I saw the signs You’ve got it all wrong, you’re out of your mind You’ve got one chance, you live and you die Fall down, to your knees You cry for justice and I beg for peace

Down (free) 04:20
lyrics
download
Fall is haunting and dulling our lives The wind is crying: you don’t even try I need to, I need to leave and get some sleep I hear the devil calling out to me We’re coming down and never going back again I can taste your lips, they’re candy sweet We’re wanting something to fill the need The kick drum’s beating loud to a violin’s sound Our lives are static but we don’t know how My mind is lost in a whirlwind of memories I thought I loved you but I don’t even love me I asked you to pick up the phone and give me a call I expected the world and I wanted it all Heaven’s better through a glass window pane And I would pray to Jesus but I don’t know the way If life is all for nothing ’cause it’s nothing to me Then I would rather sleep And pass my time in dream

Under a Siren 01:40
lyrics
buy track
I can’t live forever but I’ll lie to you Baby close your eyes And I’ll be there in the morning After the broken heart moon Wait for the sunrise Now the seasons have gone But the night never ends Someone shine a light I’m lost somewhere on the way Between home and heaven Begging to survive Under a siren, the spark of a fire The crash of the lightning Oh god you’ve left us all behind

Lights Outs 04:52
lyrics
buy track
Heresy’s the sound, like black flies that come from Out of your mouth How has your smile become so cold Kiss me again, I need to feel something Don’t shake your head There ain’t anything at all I’m not ready for the fall My mind is numb, I sit and wait and wonder Is all hope gone Or has it been this way always You spent your life, and I don’t want your reasons Don’t waste my time It’s only entertainment now For our souls crying out And I’m falling from frailty It’s over now, set me free Lights out can you fill that void Lights out can you stop the noise
