Nothing You Can Do 04:11
lyrics
buy track
On my own Doing what I want No one's gonna take the reigns from me. Gonna ride this horse until I die And I want to leave behind my most honest legacy What for? All for passion The simplest fashion What for? Redesigning Artistic Defining I will not Ever sell my soul For a paycheck A counterfeit paycheck Gonna ride this horse until I die And I'm forming my own path I'm cleaning up my own wreck What for? All for passion The simplest fashion What for? Redesigning Artistic Defining Tell me everything about myself Show me how to express what only I feel Wave your wand and make me a star There's nothing you can do to make this lie look real

Lisa Marie 03:35

You told me that you need it You told me that you won't quit I'm feeling claustrophobic And you won't get it from me Begging and pleading "Please, I've been misleading" "You are my sanctuary You are my sanctuary" But when I thought about what we could be I remember what you said when you stopped loving me Now I see it's a lie There must be some confusion If you think that we're fine it's just an illusion Admire me Admire me from afar You're the one watching what we could have been Someone else took your place and they place ahead of you If you wanna win the race you'll have to find new shoes You said "I don't need it" "It's better now that we've split" I see right through your bullshit The truth is obvious to me Excuse me Miss, won't you please explain yourself While I punch myself in the face But when I thought about what we could be I remembered you're a psycho Madam Lisa Marie I exclaimed to her kindly She looked down at her shoes before she swung at me blindly Admire me Admire me from afar You're the one watching what we could have been Someone else took your place and they place ahead of you If you wanna win the race you'll have to find new shoes

Hear me I'm talking to myself again Put me down before you walk away Feel me I'm holding the air that you breathed Put me down before you walk away I've never been so lost Destroy my mind so I can't feel Love me like you did before So I can be myself again I've never been so lost Destroy my mind so I can't feel Love me like you did before Just like before Hear me I'm talking to myself again Put me down before you walk away See me Broken like the promises we made Put me down before you walk away I've never been so lost Destroy my mind so I can't feel Love me like you did before So I can be myself again I've never been so lost Destroy my mind so I can't feel Love me like you did before Just like before See me Feel me Hear me Calling for you I've never been so lost Destroy my mind so I can't feel Love me like you did before So I can be myself again I've never been so lost Destroy my mind so I can't feel Love me like you did before Just like before

You Say 04:59
lyrics

So you say he's a good man I haven't seen it yet Questionable decisions He shows love by a threat But he's the one for you So you call him when you're down He listens but he won't act He wants you to believe in him But only to distract From the real world He's the man watching you in the night It's all in your head But you say it's true love He'll come to you when you need him the most He's out of sight but you know he's above He's the man watching you in the night It's all in your head But you say it's true love He'll come to you when you need him the most You say So you say he's a wise man He knows what's right for you Inability to practice what he preaches It's time for something new But he's the one for you He's always letting you down It's all part of his plan years of empty promises Years since it began But he's the one for you He's the man watching you in the night It's all in your head But you say it's true love He'll come to you when you need him the most He's out of sight but you know he's above He's the man watching you in the night It's all in your head But you say it's true love He'll come to you when you need him the most You say You say he's love Stockholm You love him out of fear You say he's love While he's beating you Your beating heart will slowly beat no more He's the man watching you in the night It's all in your head But you say it's true love He'll come to you when you need him the most He's out of sight but you know he's above He's the man watching you in the night It's all in your head But you say it's true love He'll come to you when you need him the most You say

The Storm 03:24

Deep in the waters A distant pain that keeps the current flowing Crashes and chaos Above the rest hide the object glowing Brave the storm Hold hope close to your heart Don't let go Not a tear should be the end I swear the day is coming soon

Call Me The King 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Hey! I got a question for you "What does it take to be happy?" What does it mean to you? Nothing means the same to me Yeah! It's all behind me now So don't look back Hey! I gotta tell you something "Nothing will bring me down" I've pushed through the storm Call me the king I've earned the crown Yeah! The pressure's on Looking forward into a new dawn We've taken all these chances To find a better view But every time we look We see the same four walls that we're used to Breaking through the barrier Exposing a beam of light The magnificence of overcoming The pride of winning the fight Yeah! It's all behind me now So don't look back Yeah! The pressure's on Looking forward into a new dawn Hey! I got a question for you "What does it take to be happy?" What does it mean to you? Nothing means the same to me Hey! I got a question for you "What does it take to be happy?" What does it mean to you?

Sparks 02:33
lyrics
buy track
It doesn't matter how you feel when thoughts are independant We're just speaking our minds Sparks your needless defendent Sensitiviy is on the rise Set limits before they reach the skies We're not doing any harm They feel affected anyway I can't express myself So what am I supposed to say? Sensitivity is on the rise Straight to the top to claim your prize

Long Lost Love 05:33
lyrics
buy track
More than I expected I closed my eyes and it was gone Gone with the wind I'm staring blankly Time goes by Moving on with or without you It's easy to get lost when you're down Tell me why Do we lose it all in the blink of an eye Tell me why Move to my own beat So I won't let down or get let down once more Where did I leave the missing link? Two years pass but the trend stays the same I don't think I'm cut out to play this game Oh yeah Wake me up when the day is over Time goes by Moving on with or without you It's easy to get lost when you're down Tell me why Do we lose it all in the blink of an eye Tell me why I did what I could to keep it together Falling apart like long lost love I was solely searching for answers Treasure that only you could find Soon again, my love We'll surely cross our paths once more Leading where our broken hearts have told Being here today Another chance we have to take We have come to be by our mistakes

That Happy Song 03:24
lyrics

Sitting alone Sitting on your hands Waiting for that tune By your favourite band They strike a chord You strike a pose Turn up the radio And take off your clothes Three minutes pass And you're moving on You're dancing to a different beat It didn't change your life It didn't mean anything But it sounds so sweet Everyone wants to hear that happy song That makes them sing along Nothing chould go wrong Put the next one on And leave the last withdrawn In years to come You'll forget that happy song At the club Dancing with your friends You hear that song As the last one ends But it doesn't feel the same It sounds past it's prime You're not as stimulated As the first time Three minutes pass And you're moving on You're dancing to a different beat It didn't change your life It didn't mean anything But it sounds so sweet Everyone wants to hear that happy song That makes them sing along Nothing chould go wrong Put the next one on And leave the last withdrawn In years to come You'll forget that happy song

Not Done Yet 05:11
lyrics

What does he want? A curious boy without a purpose He wanted to be like his heroes He wanted to be the one Days spent locked away in his room Just him and his art To his hands from his heart "One day I'll be like them" He thinks in his head Will he be the one? Knock me down but don't count me out I haven't hit my stride but I'm not done yet Say what you want I don't care what you flaunt You can do your worst but I'm not done yet Deep inside me the voice says I'm not done yet What does he want? He want's the world the sing his thoughts Be the one to inspire Feed those who aspire to be "Working my way to the top Working my way up to glory" "I'll be the future, the fire But who will be there to succeed me?" Knock me down but don't count me out I haven't hit my stride but I'm not done yet Say what you want I don't care what you flaunt You can do your worst but I'm not done yet Deep inside me I fill my lungs with air Just to say these words to you I'm not done yet I'll keep on fighting until I'm through Knock me down but don't count me out I haven't hit my stride but I'm not done yet Say what you want I don't care what you flaunt You can do your worst but I'm not done yet Deep inside me the voice says I'm not done yet
