I am watching out,
For any sign that this could last
Longer than anyone of my expected plans,
And it’s getting hard to run this
Show on the road, I’m ready to blow,
Your best interests are what are keeping me afloat.
And I’ll take aim at you,
To see which moves faster, your legs or your mouth
Coz I’m tired of all this movement and sound
It goes down like a bomb going off inside my head.
So I’ll keep to myself, and just die off inside
Coz you seem to need my help all of the time
If there’s ever a problem that I couldn’t fix
I would probably find you in the middle of it.
I’ve been wasting my time, on your satisfaction
My own heart beats to its final defeat
The blood and sweat of it all makes this irony so much sweeter
I’ve been burning up, and I’ve been breaking down
To my iron will please don’t fail me now
I can’t stand this pace can we end this a little bit faster
Do you care if I bleed? Or to which case I plead?
Was it ever a question? I just lied from the start
I can’t believe I still fell for it
And I’ve said it before, keep it up like this and you’ll take the fall
You’ll never catch me on this one
Can you descend some more, hit the ground with style, can you take anymore?
You’ll never catch me on this one.
I’ve been wasting my time, on your satisfaction
My own heart beats to its final defeat
The blood and sweat of it all makes this irony so much sweeter
I’ve been burning up, and I’ve been breaking down
To my iron will please don’t fail me now
I can’t stand this pace can we end this a little bit faster
I can’t run anymore
But I still need to go faster
Until it becomes a blur
So please feet don’t fail me now
I can’t run anymore
But I still need to go faster
Until it becomes a blur
So please feet don’t fail me now
I’ve been wasting my time, on your satisfaction
My own heart beats to its final defeat
The blood and sweat of it all makes this irony so much sweeter
I’ve been burning up, and I’ve been breaking down
To my iron will please don’t fail me now
I can’t stand this pace can we end this a little bit faster

I hope these lyrics find you well,
While you are living in this hell
Sorry to say it man but it is over
My mind is buzzed and set on kill
This fucking city’s standing still
And I just can’t stay in this place much longer
You’ll say this is as good as it gets
Hey man it aint’
You’ll say I’ll never need anything else
But man I do
I’m leaving you all behind
It’s time to follow
The yellow brick road
Don’t stray from the path
Don’t ever look back
And if the road throws up barricades, we’ll tear them down
What did you expect from me?
I’m not living in you sick fantasy
I’m here where I’m supposed to be
With all of my friends here beside of me
You’ll say this is as good as it gets
But man it aint
I’m leaving you all behind
It’s time to follow
The yellow brick road
Don’t stray from the path
Don’t ever look back
And what would you know of barricades?
Your life’s been handed to you on a plate
This time I know
We’ll make it for sure
Got nothing to lose
Got so much to prove
And if the road throws up barricades, We’ll tear them down
This is the dream, you cannot take it away
This is the dream, you cannot take it away
It’s time to follow
The yellow brick road
Don’t stray from the path
Don’t ever look back
And what would you know of barricades?
Your life’s been handed to you on a plate
This time I know
We’ll make it for sure
Got nothing to lose
Got so much to prove
And if the road throws up barricades, We’ll tear them down

You'll Get What's Coming

What you expected, brought you to your knees
Try to move on, you got to get through me
Run and take cover, hide as you please
So why would I, let you be free
You put this target on your head
You’ve crossed me one to many times
And when the hammer falls, will you roll the dice?
I’m an honest man and you can count on me to keep my promise
Try and hide your face in the safest place and nobody will ever know it was you
Who crossed my line
You’ve always trusted, me with your lies
What a fool you were, this is your demise
Unleash the demon, inside of me
I’ve played your games, take a turn in mine
You put this target on your head
You’ve crossed me one to many times
And when the hammer falls, will you roll the dice?
I’m an honest man and you can count on me to keep my promise
Try and hide your face in the safest place and nobody will ever know it was you
Who crossed my line
You’ll get what’s coming
Don’t hold your breath
I’m done with your lies
You make me sick
You’ll get what’s coming
Don’t hold your breath
I’m done with your lies
You make me so sick
You’ve crossed me one to many times
And when the hammer falls, will you roll the dice?
I’m an honest man and you can count on me to keep my promise
Try and hide your face in the safest place and nobody will ever know it was you
Who crossed my line

I’ve seen you crash before but not as bad as this
Collapsed down on the floor and I feel so helpless
Coz 3 am is the time of day, when my demons lead my mind astray
And I’ve waded through it all, 6 whole hours I’ve had to crawl
And you send out your ghosts again
There’s an ocean between us so we’ll start skimming stones
Pray the waves will follow us all the way home
But we’ll sink to the floor and nobody will know
That I’m chasing your ghost once more
Everything changes when it’s 5 AM
Come back to me, come back to me
And I don’t understand that all we can say
Is I miss you please take me away
And you send out your ghosts again
There’s an ocean between us so we’ll start skimming stones
Pray the waves will follow us all the way home
But we’ll sink to the floor and nobody will know
That im chasing your ghosts once more
And you send out your ghosts again
I will chase them around, I will chase them around
And you send out your ghosts again
I will chase them down, I will chase them around
And you send out your ghosts again
I will chase them down, I will chase them around
And you send out your ghosts again
I will chase them down, I will chase them around
:
There’s an ocean between us so we’ll start skimming stones
Pray the waves will follow us all the way home
But we’ll sink to the floor and nobody will know
That I’m chasing your ghosts once more

Safe Haven

I’ve got a greenlight to a dead end
There’s far more hopes and dreams to amend
We were all told to make the plan
And throw away the dreams, the time, the friends
Didn’t know survival was the game
A big wide world for us to tame,
They gave us all a pat on the back
Breath in, pump out your chest and that was that.
We have hidden from the sunlight, we’re worn out we’ve lost all our fight
There’s no destination just a detour the road less travelled is so obscure
And I don’t think this poison could kill me any slower
Don’t follow me until it’s over
And I’ll scream out bloody murder, just to hear you say my name
What a shame this fragile glass house is never gonna be the same (the same)
I’ve traversed so many waters, as turbulent as they can be
Just to get that taste of freedom that has been promised to me
SO!
Where’s my familiar, where’s my safehaven
Where’s my familiar, where’s my safehaven
Where’s my familiar, where’s my safehaven
Where’s my familiar, where’s my safehaven
We have hidden from the sunlight, we’re worn out we’ve lost all our fight
There’s no destination just a detour the road less travelled is so obscure
And I don’t think this poison could kill me any slower
Don’t follow me until it’s over
I’m trapped inside my own mind, caged in under lock and key
Such a desperate endeavour, has me down on hands and knees
But I’ll rise up through the ashes, forged by my selfish needs
And find that my safehave is not just in my dreams
We have hidden from the sunlight, we’re worn out we’ve lost all our fight
There’s no destination just a detour the road less travelled is so obscure
And I don’t think this poison could kill me any slower
Don’t follow me until it’s over
We have hidden from the sunlight, we’re worn out we’ve lost all our fight
There’s no destination just a detour the road less travelled is so obscure
And I don’t think this poison could kill me any slower
Don’t follow me until it’s over
