Somebody 04:54
Look at you The things we do What’s in your heart? Tearing us apart You push me away Don’t push me away You push me away Don’t you want me to stay? You need somebody You need somebody You need somebody You need somebody Tell me why Just you and I All alone I am your home You push me away Don’t push me away You push me away Don’t you want me to stay? You need somebody You need somebody You need somebody You need somebody

I See You 04:06
You hide behind a mask You wear it well But I see through your thin disguise Why are you trying to be Another someone else You’re good enough as you are When will you realise? I see you I see you [Not the way you want me too] You must learn to love yourself For just the way you are Don’t be too down on what you see in the mirror You’d be a fool to change a thing Hey, you don’t have to be What you think others want to see Can’t make it any clearer

A time to run, a time to hide A time to fail, time to wonder why A time to hunt, a time to find A time to win, but no time to die Why risk your life for them? There’ll be no thank yous or goodbyes No one will ever know What made you sell your soul? Tell me all your secrets all of your lies I may never see you again A time to run, a time to hide A time to fail, time to wonder why A time to hunt, a time to find A time to win, but no time to die The calm before the storm? Only your wits to keep you alive Tell me how does that feel Lost in your own survival Always a dead man on your mind You don’t even seem to care
4.
Living in your fantasy Only seeing what you see Balanced between sanity and lies Always want to pick a fight Shifting from the dark to light Happy when another friendship dies Why can’t you try to be Always the friend I’ve seen Filled with charity and charm Take off that mask you wear Act like you really care Stop finding joy in causing others harm When you’re all alone You may as well be living in the twilight zone When you’re on your own You’ll find you’re really living in the twilight zone Again Sit and fume into the night Thinking you are always right Play the victim never miss a cue Rant and rave it’s him who’s wrong Knowing it’s you all along Everyone’s at fault it’s never you

Rick Rack 03:20
Rick rack, rickety rack See the train go along the track When I grow up I want to be an engine driver But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver. My father says that I must always work on the land And I never disagreed when I'd see him lift his hand Mother thinks that I should be a carpenter to trade That I could fill my house with the things that I had made. Rick rack, rickety rack See the train go along the track When I grow up I want to be an engine driver But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver. I look at the skies, see the birds that can fly, and I feel like cryin' Like a bird on the tree I just want to free so I'll keep on tryin'. Rick rack, rickety rack See the train go along the track When I grow up I want to be an engine driver But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver. My brother says that I must pay attention at the school Because I've never won a prize, he thinks that I'm a fool Teacher always asks me why I look so far away It's just that I find nothing in the words he has to say. Rick rack, rickety rack I'm leaving home and I'm never coming back I'm on my way to be an engine driver But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver.

Fallen Angel 05:54
You fell from heaven That’s what you’d have us all believe Such inner beauty Your virtue lost for mortal sin A bold deception Love eludes you just the same Scorned and broken You’re my broken seraphim Oh fallen angel Come tell me how you fell from grace You’re so divine Will you ever be mine My fallen angel You can’t deceive me I see through your masquerade And all the games that you played [My fallen angel] Jaded living Will you try to take me down Or just rebellion In your eyes I start to drown Do you feel compassion After everything you’ve seen Scorned and broken My tragic broken seraphim Your past behind you Let the rough times fade away No going back now Those tarnished memories fade to grey So let me hold you I know what you’re going through Scorned and broken My sad and broken seraphim

Blue sky crowned by a rainless rainbow The future’s bright everybody smiles Knives and guns they never got invented Hate and strife never stood a chance In my imaginary world The sun shines every day Come and stay In my imaginary world No one starves and none go hungry News and media only tell the truth Health is high nobody’s lonely All rough sleepers got a home In my imaginary world The sun shines every day Come and stay In my imaginary world In my imaginary world We laugh and sing all day Come and play In my imaginary world
8.
Look at you cowering in your bed Take your medicine Believe what you’re fed Be a good little girl or boy They’re in control So lie back and enjoy Don’t think to ask “who, what, how or why?” Don’t question the small percentage that died Don’t dare to ask “what’s really going on?” Just know your place and stay part of the con Are you part of the solution Or part of the con You’re either part of the solution Or part of the con They never told you how many survived You should have asked The numbers don’t lie It didn’t fit with their campaign of fear A message of hope They didn’t want you to hear

Your Eyes 03:58
I’ve never been too good with words When trying to tell you how I feel Unsure at times of where I stand Where I fit in your life Sometimes I wonder whether You really want me around at all So give me something some new hope Ease my insecurity Won’t you If only you could tell me what you’re feeling Please help me understand In your eyes, your eyes I see the love reflected in your eyes I realise, they show me what I need to know those eyes Yes your eyes They give me all the answers I’ll ever need Your eyes, yes your eyes Don’t know why I doubted Why I questioned things at all Just one glance was all it took To feel this feeling No need to feel uncertain Or wonder where do I belong If I ever feel that way again Farewell my insecurity Won’t you Look my way to show me what you’re feeling Now I understand
10.
When you first appeared I was twice refused Then you let me in And things were cool Love began to grow Our union Things changed so fast You laying down your rules It’s over Europa I’m waving goodbye Goodbye Europa Goodbye Europa You told me what to do And all your friends Always at my place It’s like you rule With the cost so high Everyone I knew What to do They said to leave you So long Europa My future’s now mine
