1.	Funtime 06:36	lyrics	buy track
Everything will be alright Now I’ve got you, by my side The dreaded feeling, starts to rise A system glitch exposed the lie Crossed lines, frozen light Chasing time We’re doing fine Funtime, warm inside Release the light Free your mind And so you show them to your bed A mournful call, the staggered stealth You’re cumming raw and deep within The vein protrudes, the tears are still The sword cuts deep into the flesh You set them free, from their hell You end their nightmare, one by one, Deny their dreams, and march them on A flicker from the burning sun A glimpse inside the smoking gun Arm them all, Protect their Pride Just pray the bullets hit the right side Crossed lines, frozen light Chasing time We’re doing fine Funtime, warm inside Release the light Free your mind I feel the power surging through The sword, pushed deeper into you And as I take you from my bed A seering pain burns through my head The tears you weep, expose the truth Free’s the life, to start anew And everything will be alright We’ll start again tomorrow night
2.	Journey to the East 04:02	lyrics	buy track
They stare, filled with fear You glare, in disbelief Home, from the streets You bear, the scars of mothers grief Take her by the hand Focus in on the romance Remember how they, fell down, on the sand I see, them through the glass They’re thugs, with better class They snuffed, a million out And now, they drink Champagne, and laugh We watch, the ships sail by The air was warm, their lights subside Remember how you told lies, the countless lives
3.	The Next Page 04:56	lyrics	buy track
We drive in your car I don’t wanna stop Long summer days I’m happy again The breeze in my hair You smile without a care We ride on free Blazing red across the sea Chorus Down on the beach Music plays, the people drink Moon shine above I’m ready for love We play in the sand I’m a girl, you’re the man The beat of your heart All that’s under the stars Chorus Daylight glows, the distant town Forget the stress, below the clouds Keep the feeling, the here and now Stay with us, don’t fear the clown Just remember to be And don’t ever try to think Theirs is false promise land We’ll be here, years from now Ahhs etc - 4 bars Chorus We’re flying higher Need to keep trying Keep reaching higher Come on get higher
4.	Where I Stand 06:37	lyrics	buy track
I call out The storm howls back No human sounds Pass through the black Chorus Day comes round The tide falls back Cold blue hand Salt scented wrack Chorus It was one of those stupid rows Time and again, we fall out This time, we can’t sort it out This time, you ain’t coming back Just one of our stupid rows We always end up getting back This time, we can’t sort it out This time, you ain’t coming back Chorus I find myself starring up Searching through the stars above Something else I could have done The answers, just won’t come Should have left before we fought Knowing it would be too much Heavy footsteps in the mud Regret for where I could have stood
5.	The Next Page (Part 2) 04:50	lyrics	buy track
Return myself down, to the beach You’re having fun with, your family Forget the words you, heard me speak Give me time in, your company Force the door shut, just to be Escape the torment, wild and free Enjoy a moment, feel the breeze Corporate force its, driven into me Chorus A small time crook who’s, on the take Believing all the, news is fake Focussing them, on the hate Prevent them see what, they could gain The poor deceived, we share your pain The decent hang their, heads in shame Increase the money, they create Forget the human, no need to relate Chorus The fire within your veins, will keep us strong There’s nothing to be gained, from moving on Staying warm and safe, within your arms We’ll set the world ablaze, and cast them off With love in our hearts Love in our hearts Love in our hearts We’ll cast them all off
6.	Spin Me Round 04:37	lyrics	buy track
Dark room, waiting, alone Faceless, fading, white coat Fear the traces, black hole Dreams that chase me, back home I peered inside The room was bright Our time felt right Your eyes glowed white Waiting for the night to take us Our hearts are pumping through the chill Nothing they can do to break us Taking me up with your lips Filling me up with your kiss Turning me upside down Spinning me all around Dark room, waiting, alone Faceless, fading, white coat Fear the traces, black hole Dreams that chase me, back home I move inside You turn out the light Your skin next to mine My fears take flight Hoping for the night to claim us My heart is pumping yours is still I’m frozen stuck, yet still I pray for You taking me up with your lips Filling me up with your kiss Turning me upside down Spinning me all around
7.	All Look Away 05:07	lyrics	buy track
You tell me, I can’t come in Unless I find a place to live My lifestyle, does not fit With the image you emit The stuff you buy, makes us ill The first blinding light, the antiseptic chill Get rich, to buy more shit Learn to love, and not to kill All Look away All look away No one wants, to come down Leave us here, to count the Lambs Thankful to, receive the scraps Forget to learn from the past Face facts They’re all mad No one wants to understand Greed, attached Conditioned to snap They want more, than they can have Slow down Look around Winters passed, they’re all still sad Worn out Beat around Time for change, here and now All Look away All look away No one wants, to come down Leave us here, to count the Lambs Remembering, what we used to have We’re too weak, to make demands
8.	Throw it all Away 05:53	lyrics	buy track
Hiding the grey Feel like a stray Down in the subway Death roll Sunday Don’t feel quite the same We’re taking a break Throw it all away Hope for a replay Take a stand Make them crawl Let them burn We’re uniform Start to stress Don’t break your fall Show you’re human After all Miss the good days We’d make love and play Walk miles, ‘cross the plain Roll round in the hay The home that we made The light starts to fade Brought down in the rain You wanted a change Take a stand Make them crawl Let them burn We’re uniform Start to stress Don’t break your fall Show you’re human After all

instrumental
10.	What You See 06:02	lyrics	buy track
Night, will bring us down Wait, for love to come around Broke, the core of who I am You left, for the next town Out of my mind, the pain won’t, subside Wanting to try, you won’t, reconcile Will you? You, unsure what you found Lost, your way in the crowd For us, there’s no turning back You see, just what I had I was blind, now I’m free, inside Try to hide, time won’t be, so kind To you!
