The Rope
05:05

How many times will I fall for you
A new disguise, a waste of all my youth
I ask you now is Karma on my side?
The man I was is dying inside
A fateful smile
Is back in style
So don't let go of the rope around my neck if this aint real
Let me bleed cos you stitched me up so neatly I don't wanna feel
Reindicted, reignited, unrequited love
I thank my stars that I'm still around
And my good luck is nowhere to be found
I tell myself I'll never love again
Close all the doors to lovers and friends
From love to hate
A little late

Legacy Of Love
03:54
|

|
On days like today
My Father would say
Give your time to what you love
So try not to doubt
Just let it all out
I will not hold back my love
We'll send a message to the world
When times are hard, you can always lean on me
Don't lose heart, you've got everything you need
We never forget o ur times that we couldn't have known
We leave a legacy of love, you don't have to be on your own
We often forget
It's not over yet
Nothing is ever lost in love
You're gonna be fine
Just don't draw a line
Of where you think you should show love
We waste away years
And hold back the tears
And sometimes throw away our love

Echoes
03:10
|
|||
|
The echoes of my footsteps resound just like regrets upon deaf ears
And even though I tried, I could not swallow pride, or toast the cheers
And each foot I put down, you try to take more ground
You crossed my front line, it's love not war this time
Cars go past my window, yours is still a no-show every night
There's precious little circumstance, in the difference of our romance and our fights
We're better off alone, but you made this my home
Drink away my inner scream, and I thank you for the dream
For the dream
I'm drained, oh not again
What is this for?
You're bleeding me

Repeat It
02:59
|
|||
|
Coming in low seems safe to me
Weapons in words, I'll make it brief
They will try to
Bend and force you
I won't repeat it
It's not the time for pleasantries
I will defeat it
Your false supremacy
Mine is a soul that can't be saved
And I've a mind that won't be caved
They still try to
Bend and force you

California
03:00
|

|
V1
Walked through the slums around London at midnight
The seasons are cruel and we're losing the fight
Calling California, can I stay?
I'm feeling the love come from downtown LA
California you gotta take me
California you're gonna make me
V2
This radio silence can only speak loud
There's nothing to hear in this lead-lined black cloud
They fight and they flourish just to keep me down
It's a cold wing of hell, I've no chance in this town

Lullabye
03:14
|
|||
|
You can close your eyes while I sing lullabies
This might be goodbye but did, didn't we try
I still love you
I miss you
Gone are the days we never knew
Never will I say I do
Close your pretty eyes, while I sing lullabies
Sleep, never to cry, I'll take the tears in my eyes
I still love you
I miss you
There are no words now I could say
Dreams of our kids fade away
Please, if it's goodbye sing our last lullaby
Let me breathe the sighs and you, you close your eyes
I miss you

The Fray
04:01
|
|||
|
Something soon has got to give
Something in the way
Always in the fray, the fray
This is not a way to live
Hoping I can stay
Fighting in the fray, the fray
=======
Time is not a friend of mine
My muse has set her price
I am not quite right, not right
I believe we're born to shine
Hiding in my lair
Starved of light and air
How could I shine
======
I have lost sight of the reasons
Too scared to fight another way
I saw my road out so many times
I hope that I'm not stuck now in the fray
