Eye To Eye (With The Devil) 04:26
lyrics
buy track
rain is falling in my eyes as the sun slowly leaves they sky another journey is about to end, however nobody seems to care angels beside me are crying while there are countless dying the money men they just laugh, the gates to hell are the only path eye to eye with the devil tonight it takes a brave soul to look right at this evil world and not let it destroy your heart but to fight and to play your part in this moment all the matters is that there are souls in tatters because of others refusal to change, they create just to destroy eye to eye with the devil tonight if you looked down from above you would see that we've lost the plot to have drawn a map straight to hell we're eye to eye with ourselves when will enough be enough, how many have to pay the cost for being born who they are, the devil needs to feel the fire from responsibility you can't depart, love is far from your heart tomorrow it will be the same, destruction on repeat eye to eye with the devil tonight

Looking For Someone 04:15
lyrics

i'm walking down the street trying to catch the eye of someone who is like my me inside i'm looking around trying to find an open mind to find someone else swimming against the tide i'm hoping that i'll move my feet to the vicinity of a stranger who's not fast asleep will i find them i don't know for sure but i haven't got the time not to explore when you look do you see do you want what you really need tell me, tell me what are you after when i look around me everybody seems asleep i cry for the world and the future looks bleak there's so much to do something about i'm not giving up hope, my hand is reaching out i'm reaching out for someone to help keep me sane while the world goes the other way i don't want to waste your time or for you to waste mine if you seek perfection then i'm leaving you behind when you speak what do you say will you take control or will you throw it away tell me, tell me what are you after life is a journey it'll have it's ups and downs but i'll treat you right, i'll save you if you drown i'm not gonna be counting the days every day's a blessing when you're heading the right way you've gotta stand up for what it is you believe every action you do will plant a seed a seed of hope or a seed of doubt water the one that shows what you're about when you listen do you hear what they say or is it just white noise from your day tell me, tell me what are you after the road you walk only leads one way when the sun sets you can't relive that day you gotta have the courage to start over again ignore god and the devil, you don't need them tears will fall and smiles will shine no matter on what path you decide every jounrney has a begining and an end tomorrow's for the future, yesterday was then do you listen to your soul or are you scared of the truth it holds tell me, tell me what are you after

I Need More Time 02:24
lyrics
buy track
i need more time to get things right happiness is easy to find if you turn off your heart i'm missing a piece the picture is incomplete maybe come tomorrow i will find the missing one my head is in clouds my feet are stuck on the ground i'm caught between heaven and hell with no direction to go sometimes it's hard to open up your heart and let someone close to you sometimes it's hard to trust anyone else apart from yourself i don't want to taste success or regret i'd rather just carry on but change comes with the wind i need more time to get things right it will be alright i guess, i'll sort it in my own time

Save Yourself 03:31
lyrics
buy track
you think you know me because i'm courteous and polite because i try my best to keep this train running right i ain't doing it for you, your platform is coming up soon none of the the words you say are worth their weight in gold i'm beginning to wonder if you've really thought this through is this what's best for them, or is it what's best for you my soul is protected and nobody's touching it sometimes we lose our way but i hope you'll be back again to be honest i don't care about your niches or your kicks nobody is the same and i'm not trying to fit the world can learn to take me as i am you'll only know what you're able to see well i've played the game for as long as i can i am stepping back, gonna redraw the map whoever said a journey was a straight road there are so many diversions and i'm making my own i saw through the devil and i saw through god i see through the mask you hope won't fall off because when it does your soul will be there for all to see then you're alone with no idea of who you're meant to be it's just not about them any more it's about your ego, getting your foot in the door you drift in and out like the changing of the tide you focused on the sun, ignored the stars that shine

you say to much about nothing at all you dis god but wanna be above everyone you've ever met, you wanna be the king you'll do whatever to be this weeks hit yeah you've got nothing going on your mouth stays shut when things need to be said and quieten those who aren't part of your world you get what you need from empty words and deeds you need the attention turn away genuine affection yeah you've got nothing going on you've got nothing to say but you say it anyway the need to be seen is making you invisible you care to much about being seen building up your lies, living in a disguise saying good is good, saying bad is bad thinking every word you say's the best ever said yeah you've got nothing going on your heart stays shut, you pretend to love you are scared to show them who you are the fear of life makes you join the crowd but you're drowning in a sea of deceit yeah you've got nothing going on you've got nothing to say but you say it anyway the need to be seen is making you invisible i could arrange the thoughts in my brain let my words fall deep in to your soul but who are you to think that you are worth my time why would i want you to look in to my eyes yeah you've got nothing going on

Under The Falling Sky 10:17
lyrics
buy track
looking out my window tonight i see a fading sky the light is leaving the day behind but it’s firmly in my mind today gave me nothing more than the hours of yesterday but it was how i took it in that humbled my weary soul for in every hour there are countless things to behold there's kindness in a smile and a tale behind all tears you can slip into a fairlytale and find a hidden truth and you can also look in a lie, gaze over the walls it built under the falling sky you can find hope use what you hold within to live the story you wrote every soul, even my own is fighting some kind of war protecting their heart from hurt with words that bruise and scorn and me i’m just kinda nowhere right now, not lost nor dazed i’m just watching the shadows move through the glass hallway i have dreamt a thousand dreams over a thousand nights some came through the darkness while others died with the light and what felt so right today tomorrow could fade away i’m not gonna judge you but i've gotta do this my way under the falling sky you can find hope use what you hold within to live the story you wrote there will be a final time for everything wrong and right all that rises with a dawn must fall with a night my heart was built to love and through time i gotta stay strong i got to accept the other side of the penny i wished upon there is beauty in a moment, hope inside a dream there can be a crushing truth in the light of reality but looking in my hand i see what i truly hold i've got all the answers i need, i just gotta take control under the falling sky you can find hope use what you hold within to live the story you wrote for every word i’ve spoken, the clever and the absurd will one day lose any meaning or feeling they were given there are times when i’m lonely, feel lost and confused it was in those moments when i really needed you but nobody upon this earth is under any command to act in a way that isn’t according to their own plan i for one am bound to the story that i’m writing nothings gonna shake me, not the shock of the lightning under the falling sky you can find hope use what you hold within to live the story you wrote this place where i stand today isn’t my final stop time won’t stand still, i can’t stop the clocks a single step won’t take high above the clouds but i will ascend, i will wear my crown in the hours of blissful sleep my heart never misses a beat but i am easily deceived when i dare to believe under the assault of time not even love can last but i accept the challenge to hold on for as long as i can under the falling sky you can find hope use what you hold within to live the story you wrote the moon is full tonight and the stars are shining above i feel so lucky to be in the game of life and love and through the passage of time i’ll stroll never looking back the images of the world will guide me to every dawn i see the whisper of expectancy could easily distract my mind but i just gotta stay focused, learn to enjoy the ride a story of love can be written by the turn of a page whatever lies ahead i gotta stand up and face under the falling sky you can find hope use what you hold within to live the story you wrote
