Tumbling Down 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Today I got slapped right in the face By another lonely place Inside my heart Again Well I think I’m out of luck As I try to live on lust It’s gone too far A trail of failure stalking me Don’t be a victim of deceit Chorus You gotta search the night Find the Light Before Love comes tumbling down on you You gotta find the one Testify Before Love comes tumbling down on you I’ve seen All these sugar-coated lies Tell me how to live my life It’s all too much Outside It’s another lonely day With no-one to decorate My empty cup All this food for fantasy Real life just can’t compete Chorus Instrumental Repeat Chorus to fade

Up On This Shelf 04:02
lyrics

I’ve been out in the cold, for so long now I’ve forgotten, how to feel Uncomfortably numb, from the inside out With wounds, for too deep to heal Herded into the back, by my shyness I could only, stand and watch While the passing years, slipped through my fingers Just another, bullet dodged Chorus Up on this shelf it’s so lonely won’t someone climb up and hold me So sick in this isolation left here to live in stagnation Crying hard but no tears, fall from my eyes My emotions, are smothered I hunger for, the touch of another my appetite, has suffered Chorus Up on this shelf it’s so lonely won’t someone climb up and hold me So sick in this isolation left here to live in stagnation

Right on Time 04:02
lyrics

It was a long way down from the top of the cliff my eyes drew me forward on into the abyss The rain soaked through my soul my heart pumping pity I was ready to fall I wanted to be free Then your voice was on the wind As you came into my view You looked into my eyes And everything was new Chorus You came and found me, right on time Thought I was lost to this wretched mind You came and found me, right on time You helped me to carry on the climb Just barely holding on to this unwinding rope adrift in stormy seas floating away from hope There was no one to blame though I tried and I tried I was on my knees Sinking into lies Then your voice was on the wind As you came into my view You looked into my eyes And everything was new Chorus You came and found me, right on time Thought I was lost to this wretched mind You came and found me, right on time You helped me to carry on the climb

Healing Hands 03:42
lyrics

She flirts and hurts to make herself feel better it’s got nothing to do with me I spin within these unrefined emotions tossed upon this stormy sea Another scar is carved on this patchwork of a heart Chorus Healing Hands Come and wipe away all this guilt and pain I cling on to Healing Hands Come restore my faith in these broken dreams I fell right through I wait and watch things should have been so different if I’d been dealt better cards I look around and everything my eyes see tinted green from near to far Another scar is carved on this patchwork of a heart Chorus Healing Hands Come and wipe away all this guilt and pain I cling on to Healing Hands Come restore my faith in these broken dreams I fell right through

Smile 03:56
lyrics

Love’s been playing hide and seek with me All I hear is how it’s meant to be Sha la la la Let’s all sing along Sha la la la lie wrapped up in song while I’m here looking for company Though I try to disguise all this turmoil inside I’ve decided that I can’t just hide Chorus Things haven’t gone my way but it’s a brand new day Every day brings it’s trials but I’m gonna smile I’m never ever gonna stop trying the alternative is sitting here crying And every smile I receive makes the sun shine down on me Ambition arrived too late for me Striving through a living tragedy Sha la la la Let’s all sing along Sha la la la lie wrapped up in song Looking down on my trajectory Though I try to disguise all this turmoil inside I’ve decided that I can’t just hide Chorus Things haven’t gone my way but it’s a brand new day Every day brings it’s trials but I’m gonna smile I’m never ever gonna stop trying the alternative is sitting here crying And every smile I receive makes the sun shine down on me

Sunshine in the Night 03:58

You’re beautiful to me and that’s all that matters all that matters Beyond physical its deep How I feel about you feel about you You may not think you’re a beauty queen You may not look like the girls in the magazines None of that’s real just a fantasy But you can believe me Chorus Your love illuminates like Sunshine in the night Your eyes look to my soul like Diamonds shining bright You’re every thing I’ve ever Wanted in my life You’re every wish come true you’re Sunshine in the night Into my eyes You fall I’ll be there to catch you there to catch you You’re no compromise at all coz you make me sparkle make me sparkle You fill my lungs with the sweetest air the answer to every time that I said a prayer I want to be with you everywhere Call and I’ll be there Chorus Your love illuminates like Sunshine in the night Your eyes look to my soul like Diamonds shining bright You’re every thing I’ve ever Wanted in my life You’re every wish come true you’re Sunshine in the night

Fantasy Reality 03:46
lyrics

She came home from school one day couldn’t take it any more Where did her life go wrong when did it become a chore Upstairs a voice called her to be a good good girl A tear escaped onto her cheek as she dreamed of a new world Chorus And Alice was the beauty queen In the kingdom in the room In her fantasy Reality Her Daddy threw her money To get all the high she’d need To never face Reality Prince charming called to her with a clenched fist full of gin She withdrew into safety, to a world where she could win She took the magic powder, put a gold ring on her hand Closed her eyes and clicked her heels went to a far off land Chorus And Alice was the beauty queen In the kingdom in the room In her fantasy Reality Her Daddy threw her money To get all the high she’d need To never face Reality Cool wind blew right through her hair as she walked along the beach When people tried to save her, she was out of reach Then one day she got lonely but the thought of going back To the land of living nightmares was enough to make her crack Instrumental Chorus So Alice died the beauty queen In the kingdom in the room In her fantasy Reality Her Daddy rued the money Which bought all the high she’d need To never face Reality

I Believe 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Someone told me love was a beautiful lie Someone said forever was all in the mind People say that life is a resounding gong So I’ll use my voice to sing you a new song Chorus I believe in miracles They happen every day I believe that love came down and showered over me I believe that angels sing I hear them every day Most of all I believee in you Someone told me everything happens by chance Someone said your destiny’s not in your hands People say that faith is an old fashioned crutch it always holds me up when life gets too much

Be A Hero 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Bullets strafe around you down in this pit If you stay sat still here you’re gonna get hit I don’t wanna be an unknown soldier I don’t wanna stay down here Don’t wanna wait here getting older Don’t wanna disappear Chorus For a moment in time For the blink of an eye You don’t have to be under the gun Be a hero to someone For the beat of a heart For the flash of a spark You can capture the light from the sun Be a hero to someone Landmines detonating Every step Everything is crumbling There’s not much left I don’t wanna be in this no man’s land I don’t wanna be exposed Don’t wanna sink in to this quicksand Don’t wanna feel this cold Chorus For a moment in time For the blink of an eye You don’t have to be under the gun Be a hero to someone For the beat of a heart For the flash of a spark You can capture the light from the sun Be a hero to someone
