A Long Way From Home 05:05
lyrics
buy track
You tried to give, it all you had Feels like your all, just made the world mad You’re a long way from home You’ll find your way back soon But you give life, to those you meet All the people that you see Yeah, they’re a long way from home they’ll find their way back soon Don’t you quit, carving that path it’s not of stone, but it’ll last It’s not far from home You’ll find your way back soon Oooh… We’re a long way from home And we’ll find our way back soon… A long way from home… We’ll find a way Sometimes the walls they come crashing in A chance to rebuild, grow a second skin We’ll build a home We’ll build a home for you The lessons learned, in adversity Teach us all, to cope purposely I’m a long way from home But I’ll find my way back soon And if you fail, just look around At the faces you’ve found They’ve found their home They’ve found a home in you

Today (Acoustic) 03:25
lyrics
buy track
If I was a bird, I would fly away Take to the sky, don't let tomorrow replay. If you could get high with me what would you say? I know that you wouldn't even hesitate. Quit your promises, they'll never be made. Stick to your words or they'll eventually fade. Understand, I wasn't born this way. I'm just a symptom of society... Today. Today, you let me win. I don't know where I'd have been, without you there to comfort by my side. Today, you made me feel, I was part of something real. Was all that warmth, just a figment in my mind? Today, I wonder still, how is it I'm supposed to fill, The void that you left uncovered and exposed? Today, is just the start. We all have to play a part. I hope your will won't stray from where you are. I won't let you fall apart, my friend. I won't let you fall apart, not till the end.

Saint-Béat (Demo) 06:55
lyrics

Now there’s a place, that I could call home Where I could live on, watch the world pass me by Out in the distance, the trees, they wave in the light of the sun I wish I could stay but, my journey has just begun Here by the mountains, sheltered from it all Timeless in beauty, through seasons and natures call I will wait on, take it all in my stride Someday I'll return, remember what peace feels like Wind, quiet as the voice Replaces the music of birds in my ear Subtle changes it makes, in the wake of the memories we made along the way Streams running clear, reflecting the faces of those I held dear, Like life, waters run by, replacing our movements here year by year Here by the mountains, sheltered from it all Timeless in beauty, through seasons and natures call I will wait on, take it all in my stride Someday I'll return, remember what peace feels like There was a place, that I thought was home Where I would live on, watch the world pass me by Out in the distance, my thoughts wonder out into the unknown I wish I could stay but, my journey has just begun

You Move Me (Live) 03:36
lyrics
buy track
If I stay, would I watch our dreams fall away Whilst the seams connecting us fray The timing of your breath, whispers goodbye Your tears, they form waves in my mind As the years pass by I wouldn’t fight The beating of my heart, it just don’t start So move me, like sand in the hour glass So teach me, how to be at home in this skin I belong Don’t let me, fall between the cracks that I ignore I’ve been your fool before Waiting still, are lessons to help cure all my ills Yet taste of sentiment is too real Reminds me of those thoughts, I’d since forgot With my last touch, all those moments I tried to judge Dissipate with the fear and mistrust I know you’re still there, somewhere… So move me, like sand in the hour glass So teach me, how to be at home in this skin I belong Don’t let me, fall between the cracks that I ignore I’ve been your fool before

All There Is To Say (Live) 04:42
lyrics
buy track
Why wait to hold your values high, when your life just seems to pass you by I found another way inside my mind, just trust your instincts and you will find... Ooh... Found our way, found our way, found our way, found all there is to say Ooh... There's always someone waiting on their own, take their hand and bring them home. You'll always be the one who is to blame, so take control, don't be the same. Ooh... Found our way, found our way, found our way, found all there is to say

I'm Not Afraid (Live) 04:40
lyrics
buy track
You think just a little different, yet I’m the one who appears distant Sometimes I wish that I was more like you One day we’ll be older and times like this won’t rest on our shoulders But we must fight for a future to hold And I’ll hold, yes I’ll hold for you Because I’m not afraid, to hold my head up high I’m not afraid, because I’m still alive I’m not afraid, to understand the times I’m not afraid, No I’m not afraid, I’m, not afraid Even if our voices shake, and our muscles ache from the points we make If we don’t stand, we’ll fall for anything Don’t wait, don’t underestimate, the locus of our fate We’re capable of changing everything And we’ll change, we’ll change for you Because we’re not afraid, to hold our head up high We’re not afraid, because we’re still alive We’re not afraid, to understand the times We’re not afraid, No We’re not afraid, We’re, not afraid I hope that now you’ll see, that you’re no more differ-ent than me And all that effort spent on hate will resign If words could change the world, what would you say to break the mould Sometimes the truth can be too much to control What would you say? What would you say to me? Because I’m not afraid, to hold my head up high I’m not afraid, because I’m still alive I’m not afraid, to understand the times I’m not afraid, No I’m not afraid, I’m, not afraid

Let Me In (Time Waits For No One) 05:05
lyrics
buy track
Why don't you let me in and I could be the one Why don't you let me in and I could be the one... I found life waiting for me, all you need is community So, why don't you let me in and I could be the one Why don't you let me in and I could be the one Let me be the one... We spend all our lives, rushing to the end, Wasting time meant for memories for tyrants and thieves. Build your community, don't let them see Build your communities, don't let them see... Let me be the one... Why don't you let me in and I could be the one Why don't you let me in and I could be the one... Let me be the one... Time waits for no one and that don't bring us down. Don't bring us down. Don't bring us, don't bring us down.

Float Away (Live) 05:54
lyrics
buy track
Let it all float away, let it all float away Release it from your mind. Let it all float away, let it all float away Release it from your mind. You always knew what it meant, to be free, you always knew what you meant to me. You always knew what it meant to be free, you always knew what you meant to me. Even though we'd fight, you'd learn and you'd expand. Even for the parts of me you'll never understand. We made it through the worst and the best of it, well I'll be damned. You never walk away from those who try to lend their hand. You always knew what it meant, to be free, you always knew what you meant to me. Let it all float away, let it all float away Release it from your mind. Let it all float away, let it all float away Release it from your mind. You always knew what it meant, to be free, you always knew what you meant to me. You always knew what it meant, to be free, you always knew what you meant to me. We'd stare into the sky and watch our problems float away. The struggle in our life carry no weight above today. There's always someone better, worse or more adverse but not to you. If only people knew exactly what they were to do. But you always knew what it meant, to be free, I hope you knew what you meant to me. Let it all float away, let it all float away Release it from your mind. Let it all float away, let it all float away Release it from your mind.

Words Unspoken (Live) 05:08
lyrics
buy track
If you leave it up to us You might stay and lose out on life because There's nothing else Don't you wander in your sleep If you're still awake, forget the things that we'd agreed to make There's a life out there, for the ones who care… If your mind is open, follow the words unspoken There's a life out there, for the ones who care… If your mind is open, follow the words unspoken You'll find love along the way, don't wait for me Don't feel tied to anything, that you don't need You'll find love along the way, don't wait for me Don't feel tied to anything, that you don't need Oooh… In your head you always knew, that this day would come Though one day it'll be me who has to choose Sometimes you'll think upon The times we spent, the moments left behind and what they meant But there's a life out there, for the ones who care… If your mind is open, follow the words unspoken There's a life out there, for the ones who care… If your mind is open, follow the words unspoken You'll find love along the way, don't wait for me Don't feel tied to anything, that you don't need You'll find love along the way, don't wait for me Don't feel tied to anything, that you don't need

Save Me (Live) 06:02
lyrics

Always watching, never trusting of the fire, the flames they burn so bright. Always hoping, fear controlling my desires, my will recedes within. Ooh... Why don't you save me, why don't you save me from it all. Why don't you save me, why don't you save me from the fall. Why don't you save me, why don't you save me from the fall... Well I have come too far, to lose my mind and leave it all behind. I have come too far, to lose my mind and leave it all behind. I have come too far, to lose my mind and leave it all behind. I have come too far, to lose my mind and leave it all behind. Why don't you save me, why don't you save me from it all. Why don't you save me, why don't you save me from the fall. Why don't you save me, why don't you save me from the fall. Why don't you save me, why don't you save me from it all... Well I have come too far, to lose my mind and leave it all behind. I have come too far, to lose my mind and leave it all behind. I have come too far, to lose my mind and leave it all behind. I have come too far, to lose my mind and leave it all behind... Always watching, never trusting of the fire, the flames they burn so bright. They burn so bright...

Not My Journey (Live) 03:56
lyrics

I have found my peace Amongst the birds and trees I know that my dreams won’t fade… I know that you’ll try To break my will and high But hatred won’t work here no more… I will lend my hand For the promises I made to you I will never break them again. You will find your way I know your mind will stay true This is not my journey it’s you It’s you The stars will always shine Through all of space and time But how much space is left here for me. If you ask yourself Was it worth my wealth I know what the answer will be. No. You will find your way I know your mind will stay true This is not my journey it’s you It’s you

White Lies (Demo) 03:42
lyrics
buy track
You called for a revolution But all I see are white lies. To change our situation We have to change our minds. I know we don't owe you anything Except our time But time is hard to find When you've lost your backbone and spine. White lies they're feeding our ignorance And we don't mind It's easy to forget the truth When our comfort and lifestyle's on the line White lies they're feeding our ignorance And we don't mind It's easy to forget the truth When our comfort and lifestyle's on the line I've looked upon the future And I still see white lies History will repeat us If we don't open up and find A common ground between all... Our differences and faults I know it's hard to forgive, forget Everything we know White lies they're feeding our ignorance And we don't mind It's easy to forget the truth When our comfort and lifestyle's on the line

Inequality (Live) 03:32
lyrics
buy track
These lights they burn along the way, they burn along the way. No doubts about the part they've played in someone else's game. Lost their innocence to inequality, to inequality. Whilst they fight for the minority, for the minority. Speak for those who have no voice. Let their story be heard through the noise. We won't make amends, through our decadence why are we so blind. My actions misunderstood, for trying to be good, against it all... (Would it matter anyway, does it matter anyway) For the lights that have burned so bright, into the night where they lay eternally. These lights they burn along the way, they burn along the way. No doubts about the part they've played in someone else's game. Lost their innocence to inequality, to inequality. Whilst they fight for the minority, for the minority.

No no no, don't let me down from this height No no no, for the very first time I feel alright… No, No no, just let me learn for myself No no no, don't let this time overwhelm. You find life better when your alone Just keep track of what you've done I know our secrets aren't to blame But we can't pretend things are the same… Oh No no no, don't let me down For the very first time I feel alright… despite your frown... No no no, just keep yourself to yourself No no no, well at least you've got your health… You find life better when your alone Just keep track of what you've done I know our secrets aren't to blame But we can't pretend things are the same… Oh No no no, don't be unsound There are pieces of us, that are needed to be found… No no no, I may have overstepped the line No no no, don't just tell me you are fine You find life better when your alone Just keep track of what you've done I know our secrets aren't to blame But we can't pretend things are the same… Oh Who… are you Who… are you Who… are you No no no, don't let me down from this height No no no, for the very first time I feel alright… No, No no, did you find what it was you're searching for No no no, I thought I had, but there's always something more… Who… are you Who… are you Who… are you

Human After All (Live) 07:22

Do you feel it, the same as I do right now An anger creeping slowly past my calm A silhouette fading out to the dark Do you feel my love? Are you with me, do you hear my voice, calling out to you I’ve been waiting, waiting for this moment to arise But are you running, away from what you know is right I’ve been there before, trying hard to fight Emotions laid bare, yet hidden in plain sight Just try to make a move And time… will try to heal… The wounds that remind us, remind us of who we are Lest forget that we’ve come so far, and that pain however real builds character We’re human, human after all Ooh… Though we believe in life before our death, we try to hold our breath We’re human after, human after all That’s said and done, your words they fall right off the tongue serpentine We’re human after, human after all The damage dealt, holding on to the love you felt, it slips away We’re human after, human after all You wonder deep into the recesses you keep in your mind We’re human after, human after all Can you still hear me, the voice inside your head We’ve been through it all, my only trusted friend My views are changing, or is it just the world The directions of the wind, make it hard to recall And time it wanders by… Lest forget that we’ve come so far, and that pain however raw it builds our character We’re human after all Though we believe in life before our death, we try to hold our breath We’re human after, human after all That’s said and done, your words they fall right off the tongue serpentine We’re human after, human after all The damage dealt, holding on to the love you felt, it slips away We’re human after, human after all You wonder deep into the recesses you keep in your mind We’re human after, human after all
