Lionheart 04:10
The couch stains by my feet And I could sleep until you come on home The sun breaks on my face You and I could talk until the dawn Smokescreen mirrors on me But I can breath with her the joy inner The boys are losing her But I could see you’re glorious to me The fire’s in your heart The fire’s in your heart The fire’s in your heart The fire’s in your heart The story told myself Love is live too old to live within us The angel held my hand Just ask and risk you will know when honesty is said You know I am standing on by For us to be The fire’s in your heart The fire’s in your heart The fire’s in your heart The fire’s in your heart

Tell 02:19
Set to save Have we even made up my name Tells are brave Have I even made up mine yet I’ve loved at lost Now I’m trying to believe in A loving share Have I ever made well Which way should I go Which way should I fare myself Which way should I go Which way should I fare myself and Which way should I go Which way should I fare myself in Which way should I go Which way should I fare myself in So kind to hands Will she ever meet me

Faces 02:59
When will I see your face Something tells me in not so long But I’m beginning to feel a little bit lost here But your eyes and smile they bring me back Cover cover the sheets I’m ready for this home Cover the sheets Tell me where I need to sit while you wake But I’m beginning to see That my head is holding off I'm beginning to feel Something lighter than my previous forms You are you are You are you Smiles are better for me You are yearning You all have smiles that are better for me Better for me They’re better for me They’re better for me They’re better for me They’re better for me Better for me Better for me

Salter 04:29
Slow down me It’s impossible to be when I’m in need Slower please It’s impossible to breath when I’m a leech Salter sleep now I’m digging up a past that hinders me From me I see it As the talons stop a love from reaching me When will I stop When will I see When will I choose a future fit for me When will I stop And when will I sleep Without the demons a comin' comin' at me Oh I see it Like I’m giving up on you from needing me On you pleaded But I’m feeling lost the ground it fleets in me Please be the seedling Just let it go a love can heal your fears And onwards me I’m choosing this to feel myself a free When will I stop When will I see When will I choose a future fit for me When will I stop When will I sleep Without the demons a comin' comin' at me And when will I feel A peace in my heart A willing receiving a grounding deep in my heart Deep in my heart Deep in my heart Deep in my Deep in my heart Deep in my heart Deep in my heart Deep in my Deep in my heart Deep in my heart

Could you not stare down at me And feed my worries While I’m anxious in a vow To rescue me Could it not be in both of us This fickle energy While I’m off acting in frowns A brooding me I’m always out of luck As you float above in droves You’ll see it Happens interland Alone and promising Wide eyed giving coms away To sleeve your fear Why’d I come back to me Open entity While I’m afloat you bait you chain You trouble me There’s always a state of risk Just saddle up roam to reach You’ll see it But your apathy it burns Me to the bridge Of another But your proper entries at me Feel like a streak cold and elite Plummeting me As this actress delights Letting me be brief at a tease Carrowing me But your property it burns It bursts at the base Funnelling me And I’m gone God and give Sell my seat gift my fees I found another If it’s all just hurt to be Why don’t we leave it be Start another
6.
Just stay till the dawn And back for a dusk Strength held inner loving Forgotten touch You and I could feel Love’s inner sanctuary You and could hope To feel just enough Before it melts away I would stay I would rest In this world beneath us And make the choice to rise Forgotten empty words And lists beyond lists I leave for another Night to share Night to share Night to share For a night to share Before it all becomes forgotten Before it all becomes forgotten I swear Love is like autumn It whisks away like leaves Till we’re all just another somebody’s other Will I forget just what we shared As this ordinary boy can I can feel I can hold I can feel it I can hold
7.
It’s emotional havoc To resist delete it all You and I could talk and just listen Make sense of all the words In truth am I any better I’ve cleared when I’m alone But being brings up baggage And my ground it wobbles most Contact brings me closer Then space just makes it worse You and I could talk Believing that I’m better Texts are so much worse Seen it can’t be bothered Replying as a thirst You and I could talk But believing I’m a menace I scrutinise my words Leaving her in danger Isolating her You and I could talk Intertwining each other You mistake me for needing When I just wanted to hold When it’s cold and windy In hard pains that you decide To resist and be present Not at effect of all your mind So I counted all my blessings And thanked you for your time With me

Different 02:54
I came into the room Glowing by the view There was something underlying A smile inside my heart A warmth that bring me light In the dark I didn’t know quite then Just what it would all mean Then it happened I changed my point of view I left the old anew To live inside and rumble I didn’t know this love I didn’t know that covers Were placed inside my head I felt a newer place Somewhere I am a freer Where did you find me Just where did you find me Just where did you go My beautiful Just where did you find me Just where did you go Just where did you find me Just where did you go

Southbound 03:06
As you sleep I’m always awake As you breathe I’m coming to you I swear for most of the time I’m useless at best And most of the time I’m lost in a phase And most of the time I’ll go to a place where I can find some peace And be a part of me Soon soon soon Come my time I’ll smile at this stage How did I catch life in the eye I’ve seen beauty I’ve seen change I’ve seen pain I’ve felt the veil You are there How do you know I am the one You could spend this lifetime with You were there with a smile Looking at me you were there Crossed the line doubts free I’m sailing south to join the glee in my heart Growing as a smile reaches others In this moment that I will Feel your arms on my face And feel the warmth in this space Where I can be near your space and feel alive Live by your side and feel the warmth As I hold you inside and feel the peace in my skin And feel a reaching for more You’ve got colours in your eyes I haven’t seen in this life You’ve got smiles I haven’t seen The way they mean beauty clean Lovers heart for my soul I haven’t felt I haven’t felt I haven’t felt I haven’t felt I haven’t felt I haven’t felt Here before

Happiest 03:32
Come and take me with you My dear are you sure You could have all the world But you’re choosing to follow me I’m used to this face I have But will you wonder what you gave before next month I’m used to falling over I used to cry out loud in the same place Would you comfort yourself when I am gone Will you be able to smile once you had want me Please please I can stare for you for hours It’s your beauty that reaches in to meet How does one have so much kindness I don’t know How can one be so much kindness I don’t know Why would you love me my dear Why would you choose someone that sees The rain and the dark clouds above You’re so full of light it’s sweet And your rays are healing to be around I can try to run with you I could try to climb I know I will fall again and you will see what I am Just choose your one to keep up with you Please just choose the one to be your man Choose the one who lives with you and all your friends And be happiest without me And be happiest without me

Held 03:05
To change I make it over I’m losing track of time This ground it falls beneath us And I swear it would be mine To fall beyond a shadow And base it past the line I’m using all my angles And swear it’s not too late To swear it’s got to move To swear it’s got mine Swear it’s got to mine To swear it’s got to mine I’m counting all my angels I swear they can’t be mine There’s somewhere I believe it I wouldn’t be here still I’m counting all my angels They lose when I’m behind I wish it all my head I wish it held my hand I wish you count my hand I wish you held my hand I wish you had my hand I wish you held my hand For reasons I’m so held I wish you held my hand I wish you held my hand
