Track Name: Take The Wheel
TAKE THE WHEEL

I’m still stood here on two feet,
Try and shake the floor, 
I’m not that person you once knew, not that person anymore.
The wheels keep falling off, I’m leaving you behind.
I just can’t stand another word of this
Lift up your head and hear them scream.
Cause this liar doesn’t need a second word,
But the thief’s returning to the scene of the crime.
Cause you can’t stand up on two feet, I will shake this floor.
'I've lost my faith in this.'
Track Name: Be Yourself But Better
BE YOURSELF BUT BETTER

Nothing in this world is perfect,
Least of all me.
And all this time I've struggled to retain some subtlety.
Cause all we do is say the right words
And think about them later.
Can you taste the deceit?
It spills from all the cracks in all the walls I spent so long rebuilding
Well, I can feel the wind send shivers down my spine
Oh, I’ve never been one for shallow thoughts,
clenched fists before my God.
With every bite of your lip we reach another divide.
With every fork in the road we turn our backs on ourselves.
Cause I’m a cheater, and I’m a liar.
But that’s just half the story.
You know as well as I do
Your secret's not safe in my hands
No, nothing's safe with me.
And now the gloves are off
This silent score for you all to hear
You'd be surprised how unlike me I can really be.
Track Name: I Am Your Saviour
I AM YOUR SAVIOUR

I was never what you wanted, I've always fallen short.
No hero on a star.
Just another saviour of the shattered souls,
Another victim of lost time.
With this script around our necks,
We run screaming through the valley of the damned.
But the story never falters as we scratch our names into the sand.
Here we go again, this endless drama drying out my lungs
We need some solid ground to get out out this downpour
Here we go again, I can't scream right through soundproof walls
These tightly sealed up doors will hold us hostage for the rest of time.
Cause we're destined to walk in my haunted footsteps
The ground I’ve walked on time and time before
The ground beneath our feet is shaking, the clocks are changing,
But all I need is some time.
There's just never enough hours in the day,
These castles built on whispered hope,
This town has blown them all away.
But with this script around our necks,
Its so hard to lift our heads and see where our perspective lost its way.
Oh, something here has got to give.
Slowly reaching just for someone to break the ice,
And make some forward progress.
But progression isn't movement without both feet pointing in the same direction.
But all I need is a little more time.
Track Name: Bring On The Trumpets
BRING ON THE TRUMPETS

One by one, all preconceptions of who we are just fade away.
But we never really cared, did we? No.
Some things were never meant to show their faces
Such endless stories should never be told.
We all scream our own eulogies with smiles on our faces
As wide as the wounds we carve into the walls.
Oh, I’ve sussed you out!
I am the alpha, the gravity, the oxygen.
No you can't add up to me.
Keep your head above the waves
Cause I can't do this on my own.
Time after time, I’ve watched you dig your own grave,
Its no surprise, I'm just as scared as you.
So let’s spark this off and leave them all behind
Oh, I’ve hit the mark!
And I refuse to apologise this time.
Track Name: A Little Hard Work Never Hurt Anyone
A LITTLE HARD WORK NEVER HURT ANYBODY

With one eye on the clock,
And the other on this narrowing road,
Its so hard to see how we're not the ones in control. 
Calling out to all the broken spirits,
With their hearts pinned on their sleeves,
Leave your coats here with your fears and step back into the sun.
Our feet make different choices,
We take our chances, choose our paths.
But we can't stop the slow changing of the tides.
And now these nerves catch you off guard,
And your heart jumps for hours at a time.
Grab hold tightly to her dancing shadow and dream your days away.
I can't chase your silhouette through solid walls,
And I can't dance on water.
Yet we cling onto the hope in knowing we can change the future.
They say believe, trust in what's yours,
Show this world that you're not scared to sing.
But I’m just one poor soul in this whole crowd,
Its oh so plain to me.
I can never change the world.
Track Name: Finishing First In Coming Last
FINISHING FIRST IN COMING LAST

I could caress you with words carved beautifully in time,
But my tongue is tied by the temperature in here.
There’s a life out there for all of us, and you’ve shown me where mine lies.
Stand as tall as prison gates, and almost half as strong.
Until something kills the passion that we savoured all along.
How I wish that I could give a little more,
But the words just never come out right.
There’s only so loud that I can sing till it all just turns to silence
I could seduce you with melodies and heart wrenched smiles,
Yet there’s ropes around my neck that tie me down
Yeah, they tie me down.
With hearts as high as skyscrapers,
Oh I could watch over your world.
But things just never go to plan.
We stand as tall as prison gates
With hearts as high as skyscrapers.
