WHAT DO YOU GET

Time to say goodbye
Wheels off the ground
Reflections in the window
Headed northbound

Waited a long while
Land of friends and ice
Running that country mile
Don't need to think twice

What do you get
When you say it all out loud
What do you get 
At the edge of the silver cloud
What do you get
When you take a leap
What do you get 
When you dive deep

Time to close this chapter
Laughter and tears
Forty years as a jagged actor 
Burned all my fears

It all looks so different now
Thought it would get better
Learned to live and how
Never followed the rules to the letter

What do you get
When you say it all out loud
What do you get 
At the edge of the silver cloud
What do you get
When you take a leap
What do you get 
When you dive deep

Wheels off the ground 
Headed northbound
Land of friends and ice
Don't need to think twice

Laughter and tears
Burned all my fears
It all looks so different now
Learned to live and how

What do you get
Say it all out loud
What do you get 
At the edge of the silver cloud
What do you get
When you take a leap
What do you get 
When you dive deep

When you say it all out loud
What do you get 
At the edge of the silver cloud
What do you get
When you take a leap
What do you get 
When you dive deep

NINE DAYS

What's done in the dark
Comes to light
Something's shifted
The line between wrong and right

Forget all the havoc 
I've been in
Photos in black frames
The ringing in my ears
Enough of the games

Washing that dirty linen
'Til there's a plague of devils
The foxes in the forest
Dance for nine days
In my mind
You'll stay the same way

The writing's on the wall
I feel hollow
Don't answer the call
The flight of the swallow

No matter how hard I try
The coldest stare
Go through the needle's eye
Can you afford the fare

Washing that dirty linen
'Til there's a plague of devils
The foxes in the forest
Dance for nine days
In my mind
You'll stay the same way

Washing that dirty linen
'Til there's a plague of devils
The foxes in the forest
Dance for nine days
In my mind
You'll stay the same way

THE TWISTED HOURS

I know the rules
Yes, I know the score
Gold on your finger
But guess what - I want more 

The stolen moments 
Haunt me like a ghost
In the twisted early hours
I want you the most

I'm standing at the edge
One call could change it all
Watch your whole world fall
Are you telling me
Some words aren't meant to be spoken
Are you telling me
Some hearts are meant to stay broken

I'm ticking all the boxes
Paradise has a bite
You're off-limits
But I'm ready for a fight 

Nothing's ever as simple 
As it seems
Counting the days
Put out the blaze

I'm standing at the edge
One call could change it all
Watch your whole world fall
Are you telling me
Some words aren't meant to be spoken
Are you telling me
Some hearts are meant to stay broken

Gold on your finger
But I want more 
Paradise has a bite
Ready for a fight 

The twisted hours
Haunt me like ghost
Can't put out the blaze
When I want you the most

I'm standing at the edge
One call could change it all
Watch your whole world fall
Are you telling me
Some words aren't meant to be spoken
Are you telling me
Some hearts are meant to stay broken

I'm standing at the edge
One call could change it all
Watch your whole world fall
Are you telling me
Some words aren't meant to be spoken
Are you telling me
Some hearts are meant to stay broken

HALF OF A MIDNIGHT LIFE

Made the wrong call
I fought with a fiction
The promises had it all
I was fighting the addiction

History will no doubt judge me
We crashed on the icy shore
It was just a fable and plain to see 
Yet I kept coming back for more

I was the secret
You were the lie
It was nothing but
Half of a midnight life
You went back 
To your side of the line
Half of a midnight life

It was nothing but
Half of a midnight life 

In a world that's all for show
You pulled me into your play
I got lost in your blinding glow
There was so much to say 

A heartbeat echoing in the stairway
All of the delusion and blame 
I used to close my eyes and pray
Didn't want to be a part of your secret game

I wanted to scream our love
From the rooftops
You wouldn't let me
Keep wearing that mask that won't drop

I was the secret
You were the lie
It was nothing but
Half of a midnight life
You went back 
To your side of the line
Half of a midnight life

It was nothing but
Half of a midnight life 

The promises had it all
I was fighting the addiction
Made the wrong call
I fought with a fiction

I got lost in your blinding glow
There was so much to say 
In a world that's all for show
You pulled me into your play

I was the secret
You were the lie
It was nothing but
Half of a midnight life
You went back 
To your side of the line

I was the secret
You were the lie
It was nothing but
Half of a midnight life
You went back 
To your side of the line
Half of a midnight life
It was nothing but
Half of a midnight life

THE LAST ONE

I'm the last one to fall
When it's all said and done
I'm the very last call
Stare straight into the sun

No one here to carry my voice
It was a foregone choice
It's the end of the line
In this story of mine

I'm the last one
But I'm not yet done
I'm the last one
And I'm breaking the sun

I'm the last one
All the way from the start
I'm the last one
I'm the last one
I'm the last one

The moments are ticking away
The memories are a steal
Maybe being here
Is the only thing that's real

I can recall the smiles of each year
Of everyone I hold dear
Hope they will remember
The first of November 

I'm the last one
But I'm not yet done
I'm the last one
And I'm breaking the sun

I'm the last one
All the way from the start
I'm the last one
I'm the last one
I'm the last one

I'm the very last call
The only one to fall
It's the end of the line
In this story of mine

The memories are a steal
The only thing that's real
Hope they remember
And keep the last ember 

I'm the last one
But I'm not yet done
I'm the last one
And I'm breaking the sun

I'm the last one
All the way from the start
I'm the last one
I'm the last one
I'm the last one

WHY DID I COME BACK

Look in the mirror
Who are you
It's time for a reckoning
Get ready for what's due 

Too much time to think
Yet gone in a blink
Notebooks in every drawer
I should feel taller

Are we all dead
Is it all in my head 
The last rays of the day
Can we find our way

Why did I come back for more
I knew exactly what was in store
Why did I come back 
Why did I come back
Why did I come back

I'm the last one
The lonely bloodline
Just want to run and run
Where do I sign

It still haunts me
Don't want to be here
It won't all fit in the suitcase
Fed up with the chase

Are we all dead
Is it all in my head
The last rays of the day
Can we find our way

Why did I come back for more
I knew exactly what was in store
Why did I come back 
Why did I come back
Why did I come back

We're just passing through
The spell has broken
Forget all the things we said
The moments we've stolen

Staring at the broken walls
Exhaustion sets in
Counting the patterns in the shadows
The air is getting thin

Are we all dead
Is it all in my head
The last rays of the day
Can we find our way
Why did I come back for more
I knew exactly what was in store

Are we all dead
Is it all in my head
The last rays of the day
Can we find our way

Why did I come back for more
I knew exactly what was in store
Why did I come back 
Why did I come back
Why did I come back

THE MIRROR

It's not the fault of the mirror
The days passed by
You don't know my errors
Why didn't we even try 

Felt that slow burn
Every night got darker
I know I can't ever return
The pain gets sharper

I had to let go
Without a fight
Had to
Run away in the night
I had to let go
It was the right thing to do
Although my heart broke in two
Let go
Let go
Let go

Not that it means anything 
I could tell you the reasons now
Could we go back to the beginning
Find the words somehow

We only get one life
Wish I could spend it with you
Sorry I drew the knife
You're the only one who's ever been true 

I had to let go
Without a fight
Had to
Run away in the night
I had to let go
It was the right thing to do
Although my heart broke in two
Let go
Let go
Let go

I own all of my errors
Why didn't we even try 
It's not the fault of the mirror
The days pass by

Go back to the beginning
Find the words somehow
Not that it means anything 
Let me tell you the reasons now

I had to let go
Without a fight
Had to
Run away in the night
I had to let go
It was the right thing to do
Although my heart broke in two

I had to let go
Without a fight
Had to
Run away in the night
I had to let go
It was the right thing to do
Although my heart broke in two
Let go
Let go
Let go

MY QUIET SKY

Deep conversations
In the middle of the night
Head full of wild ideas
Will your heart ever ignite

I haven't got the courage
To say what I mean
Hidden thoughts all these years
Feelings unseen

Forever is a long time
Waiting for you to be mine 
Forever is a long time
Waiting for you on the line
Forever is a long time
Here in my quiet sky

You smile then look away
I trace the cracks in my glass
If I speak up can I stay
Or will the moment pass

I know all the words I need
To say where I belong
Then tell myself I’ll give you up
But my soul's not strong

Forever is a long time
Waiting for you to be mine 
Forever is a long time
Waiting for you on the line
Forever is a long time
Here in my quiet sky

Maybe you've always known
Every time feels like a promise
The glances cut through
All the walls I tried to keep honest

If I told you everything
Would it break us, would we bleed
Could we ever find our way back
Or would it make me free

Forever is a long time
Waiting for you to be mine 
Forever is a long time
Waiting for you on the line
Forever is a long time
Waiting for you

Forever is a long time
Waiting for you on the line
Forever is a long time
Here in my quiet sky

THE RIGHT SIDE OF WRONG

You said forever, I believed
The kiss tasted like lies
The draw of each crime
Lost track of the prize

The night closes in
Trust wears ever so thin
The air tastes of salt and fear
I see the future disappear

I'm on the right side of wrong
Two thieves singing the same song
You took my faith, I took the fall
Lust was the biggest heist of all
The right side of wrong
That's where I'll always belong 

For a while it was just us 
Looking for promised lands
Two shadows in a frame
Left with empty hands

In a world full of treasure
Desire sealed my doom
Looked for pleasure
In all the wrong rooms

I'm on the right side of wrong
Two thieves singing the same song
You took my faith, I took the fall
Lust was the biggest heist of all
The right side of wrong
That's where I'll always belong 

The draw of each crime
Lost track of the prize
Looking for promised lands
Left with empty hands

The night closes in
Trust wears ever so thin
Desire sealed my doom
In all the wrong rooms

I'm on the right side of wrong
Two thieves singing the same song
You took my faith, I took the fall
Lust was the biggest heist of all
The right side of wrong
That's where I'll always belong 

I'm on the right side of wrong
Two thieves singing the same song
You took my faith, I took the fall
Lust was the biggest heist of all
The right side of wrong
That's where I'll always belong
 
THIS DANCE

Woke up this morning
The world feels right
Two souls in a moment
It's all so bright

Kiss me like a firefly
A game of tease
Take me sky high
Together we’re a masterpiece

You’re my forever
The beat of my heart
Like two stars shining
My lead part
Stole me one glance
I’m loving this dance
Oh yeah, I’m loving this dance

Can’t wait for tomorrow
To bring something new
Sweet like honeydew
I’ll always be true

Loyalty and adoration
I’ll never waiver
You’re my daily inspiration
My favourite flavour

You’re my forever
The beat of my heart
Like two stars shining
My lead part
Stole me one glance
I’m loving this dance
Oh yeah, I’m loving this dance

Two souls in a moment
Kiss me like a firefly
Remember every fragment
The happiness in my eyes

Even rainy days are a joy
I won’t be coy
Your touch is thrilling
I’ll always be willing

You’re my forever
The beat of my heart
Like two stars shining
My lead part
Stole me one glance
I’m loving this dance

You’re my forever
The beat of my heart
Like two stars shining
My lead part
Stole me one glance
I’m loving this dance
Oh, yeah I’m loving this dance

HERE AND THERE

Infatuation and vanity
Welcome back to reality
Didn't see clearly
Nearly cost me dearly

Your touch drove me crazy
Savage and curious
The memories are hazy
Now I'm absolutely furious

Whatcha doing
I'm here
Where are you going
I'm there
Whatcha thinking
I'm everywhere
Look at me 
I'm here and there
Oh, I'm here and there

Straight in from the heat
Wasn't ready for defeat
Your voice on the line 
Imagined you mine

I'm across the border
Had to leave
Plotting around the corner
You're such a thief

Whatcha doing
I'm here
Where are you going
I'm there
Whatcha thinking
I'm everywhere
Look at me
I'm here and there
Oh I,'m here and there

What was going to happen
What did I think
Between our hearts
There's no link

We were playing 
Two different games
For a futile minute thought
We are twin flames

Whatcha doing
I'm here
Where are you going
I'm there
Whatcha thinking
I'm everywhere
Look at me
I'm here and there
Oh, I'm here and there

Whatcha doing
I'm here
Where are you going
I'm there
Whatcha thinking
I'm everywhere
Look at me 
I'm here and there 
Oh, I'm here and there


TALK THE TALK 

With you I hit a wall
Wasn't ready for the fall
Now the memories scream
Told me you’d redeem

You painted it perfect
But all the colours ran
Nothing left in my hand
No, it didn't go to plan

You sure talk the talk
But do you walk the walk
Show me what you've got 
Let's see your best shot
Oh, you're talking the talk
Ran away with my heart
I'm still in the dark 
Yeah, I'm still in the dark 

I'll rise from the ashes
If you'll take a chance 
Before the whole thing crashes
Please break this trance 

Take a step and prove
The things you said
It was a fallout move 
I bled in all the shades of red

You sure talk the talk
But do you walk the walk
Show me what you've got 
Let's see your best shot
Oh, you're talking the talk
Ran away with my heart
I'm still in the dark
Yeah, I'm still in the dark 

The memories scream
Told me you’d redeem
All the colours ran
Nothing left in my hand

With you I hit a wall
Wasn't ready for the fall
Take a chance
Please break this trance

You sure talk the talk
But do you walk the walk
Show me what you've got 
Let's see your best shot
Oh, you're talking the talk
Ran away with my heart
I'm still in the dark
Yeah, I'm still in the dark 

You sure talk the talk
But do you walk the walk
Show me what you've got 
Let's see your best shot
Oh, you're talking the talk
Ran away with my heart
I'm still in the dark
Yeah, I'm still in the dark


PICK YOUR POISON

Light the fire
But can't see within
In this battle of wills
Caught in a tailspin

Deep within the excuses
Where the shadows belong
Let the darkness guide
Feel the pressure rise

Pick your poison
The last one standing
Nobody's coming
To save you
Look at the clues
Nothing is true
Nobody's coming
What else is new 

Who's the winner
Move over beginners
Listening to my demons
Guessing the reasons

You can't afford
To play this game
Let the cards unfold
Drown in shame

Pick your poison
The last one standing
Nobody's coming
To save you
Look at the clues
Nothing is true
Nobody's coming
What else is new 

It's a battle of wills
An endless tailspin
The darkness guides
Feel the pressure rise

Trusting my demons
Now I know the reasons
Played my last hand
Exactly as I planned

Pick your poison
The last one standing
Nobody's coming
To save you
Look at the clues
Nothing is true
Nobody's coming
What else is new 

Pick your poison
The last one standing
Nobody's coming
To save you
Look at the clues
Nothing is true
Nobody's coming
What else is new


A CLEVER RUSE 

It's hitting the nerve
Right behind the eye
Dig in deep 
Nothing left in reserve 

Who's bed are your shoes under
In the night like a hunter
If you get in my way
I'll just go around ya 

You came empty handed
Took off with my heart
Nothing left here to steal
It was such a clever ruse from the start 
Oh, it was a clever ruse

Blow the old myths 
Out of the water
Round the corner
Like a silent watcher

Finally breathe freely
Dawn is almost here
A gaze so steely
Don't come near

You came empty handed
Took off with my heart
Nothing left here to steal
It was such a clever ruse from the start 
Oh, it was a clever ruse

It's hitting the nerve
Right behind the eye
Come in from the cold 
Trying to pry like a spy 

Move in the night
Like a hunter
It's not gonna work
Is it any wonder

You came empty handed
Took off with my heart
Nothing left here to steal
It was such a clever ruse from the start 
Oh, it was a clever ruse

You came empty handed
Took off with my heart
Nothing left here to steal
It was such a clever ruse from the start 
Oh, it was a clever ruse


FIRESALE OF FEELINGS

Lost my way
It's been many moons
There was no way to stay
Stopped dancing to your tune

Didn't want any of it
In the first place
But come on, spill the dirt
Am I still in the race 

It's a firesale 
Of feelings
Don't want them anymore
I'm selling
Are you buying

It's a firesale 
Of feelings
Are you gonna buy buy buy 
Buy buy buy 

I’m trying to let go 
Of what I wanted most
The clock keeps ticking
But it's too soon to raise a toast

Oh, my heart!
Why don't you take another slice
Sail into the sunset
Colder than ice 

It's a firesale 
Of feelings
Don't want them anymore
I'm selling
Are you buying

It's a firesale 
of feelings
Are you gonna buy buy buy 
Buy buy buy

It's been many moons
Stopped dancing to your tune
But come on
Show me the ace
Am I still in the race 

Lost my way
There was no way to stay
It's what I wanted most
But don't be raising any toasts

It's a firesale
Of feelings
Don't want them anymore
I'm selling
Are you buying

It's a firesale 
of feelings
It's a firesale 
Of feelings
Don't want them anymore
I'm selling
Are you buying

It's firesale 
Of feelings
Are you gonna buy buy buy
Are you gonna buy buy buy


KNOCK KNOCK 

Deep undercover
Click of the shutter
Who can you trust
Blow away the rust

Hide in the dark
Take your time
Who's the mark
Turn on a dime

Everything has a price
Turn left or right
Add a bit of spice
Out of sight
What are you hiding
Everything is just a loan

Knock knock knock
You off your throne
Knock knock knock 
Off your throne

It's a dismal story
As old as the sky
It's getting stormy
Should I ask why

Can I come in
I'm getting weary
Thought I was going to win
But didn't see clearly

Everything has a price
Turn left or right
Add a bit of spice
Out of sight
What are you hiding
Everything is just a loan

Knock knock knock
You off your throne
Knock knock knock 
Off your throne
Knock knock knock 
Off your throne

Who can you trust
Blow away the rust
It's a dismal story
Not going to end in glory

Hide in the dark
Who's the mark
Thought I was going to win
I'd like to come in 

Everything has a price
Turn left or right
Add a bit of spice
Out of sight
What are you hiding
Everything is just a loan

Knock knock knock
You off your throne
Knock knock knock 

Everything has a price
Turn left or right
Add a bit of spice
Out of sight
What are you hiding
Everything is just a loan

Knock knock knock
You off your throne
Knock knock knock 
Off your throne
Knock knock 
Knock Knock


A DIZZY MESS 

Hey, could we start over?
Yeah, I know already ruined it
This one's gonna 
Be burned into my memory

The past, present and the future
Stake your claim
Friends in low places
Won't take the blame

Eyes on the prize
Or cut and run
Too late for the party
Just wanted some fun

First it was a no
And then it was a yes
What a dizzy mess
Oh, it's such a dizzy mess

Well, of course it was
Too good to be true
It was obvious to everyone but me
Didn't have a clue

I've lived and learned
But it seems not enough
Wanted it to work so bad
But oh boy, it was rough

Eyes on the prize
Or cut and run
Too late for the party
Just wanted some fun

First it was a no
And then it was a yes
What a dizzy mess
Oh, it's such a dizzy mess

Hey, could we start over?
Do you feel any rue
It was the heat of the moment
Right on cue

Friends in low places
Back in the game
I'm gonna wipe all traces
Even if you take the blame

Eyes on the prize
Or cut and run
Too late for the party
Just wanted some fun

First it was a no
And then it was a yes
What a dizzy mess
Oh, it's such a dizzy mess

Eyes on the prize
Or cut and run
Too late for the party
Just wanted some fun

First it was a no
And then it was a yes
What a dizzy mess
Oh, it's such a dizzy mess 
Yeah, it's such a dizzy mess


RED INK

I've forgiven it all
Too many times
Heard enough of
Your sparkling lines 

Now there's a storm inside
Raging night and day
Don't try to hide
I'm headed your way

The truth is a dagger
Hidden deep in your smile
Twist it deeper
Crawl the last mile
What's the view like
At the bottom of the drink
The future's written in red ink

The weight of your mistakes
I'm hitting the brakes 
Not turning a blind eye
You've bled me dry

This heart's a phoenix
Ashes to fire
I found my voice
When it was down to the wire

The truth is a dagger
Hidden deep in your smile
Twist it deeper
Crawl the last mile
What's the view like
At the bottom of the drink
The future's written in red ink

There's a storm inside
Raging night and day
I've heard enough 
It's time to have my say 

Don't try to hide
I'm headed your way
The weight of your mistakes
I'm hitting the brakes 

The truth is a dagger
Hidden deep in your smile
Twist it deeper
Crawl the last mile
What's the view like
At the bottom of the drink
The future's written in red ink

The truth is a dagger
Hidden deep in your smile
Twist it deeper
Crawl the last mile
What's the view like
At the bottom of the drink
The future's written in red ink


NOT A CLUE

You drew first blood
Didn't even notice
Run away, it's a flashflood
I'm looking for justice 

Trying all the doors
But they're locked
Defying all the laws
Don't pretend to be shocked

Who's fooling who
Masks and disguises
Not a clue

Who's fooling who
Full of surprises
Not a clue 
Who's fooling who
Not a clue 

Thieves of twilight
A handful of guilt
Running a fever
Tear down everything you built

It began with trust
Scars into wisdom
Do as one must
I lost my whole kingdom

Who's fooling who
Masks and disguises
Not a clue

Who's fooling who
Full of surprises
Not a clue 
Who's fooling who
Not a clue 

You drew first blood
Now there's a flashflood
Trying all the doors
Still defying the laws

Tear down 
Everything you built
Scars into wisdom
Don't feel guilt

Who's fooling who
Masks and disguises
Not a clue

Who's fooling who
Full of surprises
Not a clue 
Who's fooling who
Not a clue 

Who's fooling who
Masks and disguises
Not a clue

Who's fooling who
Full of surprises
Not a clue 
Who's fooling who
Not a clue


TELL ME 

Let go of the past
Observations late at night
While it lasted it was a blast
Now I want you out of my sight

You think you're so notorious
Oh, no, don't you dare
After all this am I victorious
You're not being fair

Tell me
Before I find out
Tell me
Stacks of doubt
Tell me
Before we shout
Tell me
Right now

Digging for answers
While you talk nonsense
Pictures hang full of game
There’s a crack in every frame

Caught in a blinding web
Of secrets spun
Sugarcoated promises broken
Now I'm on the run

Weight of the world
Go back to the start
Is love just a feather
Or is it stitched to your heart

Tell me
Before I find out
Tell me
Stacks of doubt
Tell me
Before we shout
Tell me
Right now

Let go of the past
Observations late at night
After all this am I victorious
You're not being fair

Digging for answers
While you talk nonsense
While it lasted it was a blast
Now I want you out of my sight

Tell me
Before I find out
Tell me
Stacks of doubt
Tell me
Before we shout
Tell me
Right now

Tell me
Before I find out
Tell me
Stacks of doubt
Tell me
Before we shout
Tell me
Right now 

THE MAGIC HOUR 

Shadows creeping up the walls
They twist and hum
Thoughts like icepicks
Where do they come

Counting the endless stars
But they won't tire
Every second that slowly passes
It gets more dire

It's the magic hour
Nobody's going to knock
It's the magic hour
Don't look at the clock
It's the magic hour
The hallucinations gain power
Come down from your high tower
It's the magic hour

The force of my mistake
I had it all and threw it away
A moment of weakness
Then there was nothing to say

Is it better
To have loved and lost
I'm not so sure
I never realised the cost

It's the magic hour
Nobody's going to knock
It's the magic hour
Don't look at the clock
It's the magic hour
The hallucinations gain power
Come down from your high tower
It's the magic hour

Thoughts like icepicks
My heart's on fire
Every second that passes
Tangled in a wire

Loved and lost
Now I know the cost
I had it all and threw it away
There's nothing left to say

It's the magic hour
Nobody's going to knock
It's the magic hour
Don't look at the clock
It's the magic hour
The hallucinations gain power
Come down from your high tower
It's the magic hour

It's the magic hour
Nobody's going to knock
It's the magic hour
Don't look at the clock
It's the magic hour
The hallucinations gain power
Come down from your high tower
It's the magic hour

SOMETIMES 

The silence sounds
Like your heartbeat
Come in, take a seat
Lost for words, last I heard

Play the part
Top of the chart
In this play
You don't say 

Sometimes the stars 
Shine during the day
Some things are meant to be
But not you and me 
Oh no, not you and me

I'm on my way
It's quite a day 
I was looking for a hand to hold
Now I'm boxed in, cold 

It's a whole stormy
Sea of misery
Keep your distance
Had enough of your trickery

Sometimes the stars 
Shine during the day
Some things are meant to be
But not you and me 
Oh no, not you and me

Going for victory
Looking for applause again
It's no mystery
But questions remain

Shooting off like fireworks
Showing all your quirks
Time to wind it down
Give up your crown

Sometimes the stars 
Shine during the day
Some things are meant to be
But not you and me 

Some things are meant to be
But not you and me 
Oh no, not you and me
Oh no, not you and me

THE BET 

I don't know what happened 
I lost my mind for a while
I was bewitched
By your beautiful smile 

It wasn't that hard
To sweep me off my feet
Now my heart is charred
I wasn't ready for the heat

What will you get
What's your bet
Are you ready to play
Are you ready to play

What will you get
What's your bet
Are you ready to play
Are you ready to play 

I'm not sorry for what I said
You needed to hear it 
The waiting filled me with dread
More than I liked I must admit 

I knew the outcome
Before you even spoke
Left me quite numb
But it was your own heart you broke

What will you get
What's your bet
Are you ready to play
Are you ready to pay

What will you get
What's your bet
Are you ready to play
Are you ready to pay 

I've got a clean slate
There's nothing to regret
Next time I won't take the bait
Wish we never met 

Swept me off my feet
Wasn't ready for the heat
I knew before you even spoke
It was your own heart you broke 

What will you get
What's your bet
Are you ready to play
Are you ready to pay

What will you get
What's your bet
Are you ready to play
Are you ready to pay 

What will you get
Every step you take
What's your bet
There's always a price to pay

What will you get
Every step you take
What's your bet
There's always a price to pay

TAKE 

Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice

Willpower forged in hell
There's nothing you can sell
That I haven't fought for nail and tooth
Living the bone-deep truth

Let me tell you about
The world of paper hearts
It's always over 
Long before it even starts 

It was all fake
No give, all take take take 
Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice
No give, all take take take

Promises made of smoke
You laugh as they all choke
It's a twisted song
And you just move on

I swore I wouldn't be
Fooled again
It was too bright to see
Too late to complain

It was all fake
No give, all take take take 
Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice
No give, all take take take

Dive deep or run away
Slow smiles
Leading you astray
No second chances
A lasting mark
Lost in the dark

It was all fake
No give, all take take take 
Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice
No give, no give
All take take take

Crown of heartache and ice
Over before it starts
Promises and smoke
Laugh while they choke

Guess what, fooled again
Too late to complain
Dive deep or run away
Slow smiles leading me astray

It was all fake
No give, all take take take 
Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice
No give, no give
All take take take

Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice
No second chances
A lasting mark
Lost in the dark
No give, no give
All take take take

Dive deep or run away
Slow smiles leading me astray

It was all fake
No give, all take take take 
Crown of heartache and ice
Too easy to entice
No give, all take take take 
No give, all take take take

AT WHAT COST 

The heart can’t always fight
Where did the feeling go
Lost in the echoes of the night
You turned into a foe

The tides have turned
Even kings get wet in the rain
All summer I yearned
Until I realised it's in vain 

The truth’s like a river
It won’t let me stay
There's a price but I won't pay 
They say love is never lost
But at what cost

I fell for a shadow so dark
Still looking for the spark
Caught in a web 
Of a thousand missteps

You said you'll change the story
Rewrite every line
But it's just another chapter
In your veiled design

The truth’s like a river
It won’t let me stay
There's a price but I won't pay 
They say love is never lost
But at what cost

The heart can’t always fight
Where did the feeling go
Lost in the echoes of the night
You turned into a foe

You said you'll change the story
Rewrite every line
But it's just another chapter
In your veiled design

The truth’s like a river
It won’t let me stay
There's a price but I won't pay 
They say love is never lost
But at what cost

The truth’s like a river
It won’t let me stay
There's a price but I won't pay 
They say love is never lost
But at what cost

OTHER PLANS 

Oh, you're so good at
Lying through your teeth
Thought I would
Fall at your feet

Stirring your pot of spells
But forgot I know all your tells
Pulling cards from the deck
In the thick of it up to your neck

All the nights you stayed
All the games you played
Promises in the dark
They always fall apart

What are you gonna do
When the penny finally drops
What are you gonna do
Pulling out all the stops 
What are you gonna do

You were just spinning 
A tale that was old
All the sweet whispers
Nothing there to hold

The lights went out
My mind is wrapped in doubt
Chased the touch of your hands
But you had other plans 

What are you gonna do
When the penny finally drops
What are you gonna do
Pulling out all the stops 
What are you gonna do

Bringing out your best hits
Testing all your tricks
Lying through your teeth
Thought I would
Fall at your feet

What are you gonna do
When the penny finally drops
What are you gonna do
Pulling out all the stops 
What are you gonna do
What are you gonna do

Pulling cards from the deck
In the thick of it up to your neck
Now my soul is scarred
And oh, yes, you're barred 

Stirring your pot of spells
But forgot I know all your tells
The last late night call
I'm ready for the fall

What are you gonna do
When the penny finally drops
What are you gonna do
Pulling out all the stops 
What are you gonna do

A fleeting spark
Gone in the dark
A new day, a new plan
Do the best I can
I thought I was the one
But now I'm done 

Bringing out your gun
But now I'm done

What are you gonna do
When the penny finally drops
What are you gonna do
Pulling out all the stops 
What are you gonna do

A fleeting spark
Gone in the dark
A new day, a new plan
Do the best I can
I thought I was the one
But now I'm done

MAGNETIC    

It was a hit and miss
Would you look at this 
The summer's gone
I thought I found the one

It's a new dawn
I'm still torn
I don't want too see you
But after a while I do 

So magnetic
I'm stuck
So magnetic
Trying my luck
So magnetic
You're like a drug
Yeah, I'm stuck

Should I call
I don't know
It's already fall
But time's going slow

You're not who 
I thought you were
Still I wish it was
Just us two causing a stir

So magnetic
I'm stuck
So magnetic
Trying my luck
So magnetic
You're like a drug
Yeah, I'm stuck

It was a hit and miss
Would you look at this 
The summer's gone
I thought I found the one

Should I call
I don't know
It's already fall
But time's going slow

So magnetic
I'm stuck
So magnetic
Trying my luck
So magnetic
You're like a drug
So magnetic

It was a hit and miss

I don't want too see you
But after a while I do

Trying my luck
So magnetic
You're like a drug
Yeah, I'm stuck

Should I call

DANGEROUS GAMES 

Weight of the night
Out of sight
I was going to wait 
But is it too late

Live and learn
Watch it burn
Just goes to show
Time to glow

What's on your mind
Looking for a sign
It's one of those days
The error of your ways
Hearts and flames
Dangerous games

A clever disguise
Got any advice
A double cross
The greatest loss

Out of the blue
What is true
Even the score
Luck of the draw

What's on your mind
Looking for a sign
It's one of those days
The error of your ways
Hearts and flames
Dangerous games

Nice and quiet
Gonna be a riot
Wise old witch
Flip the switch

Stop the clocks
Break the locks
Stab in the dark
Missed your mark

What's on your mind
Looking for a sign
It's one of those days
The error of your ways
Hearts and flames
Dangerous games

What are you waiting for
See every flaw
Kiss of life
Twist the knife

Light up the sky
Look me in the eye
Try as one might
Ready for flight

What's on your mind
Looking for a sign
It's one of those days
The error of your ways
Hearts and flames
Dangerous games

What's on your mind
Looking for a sign
It's one of those days
The error of your ways
Hearts and flames
Dangerous games

SEVEN WAYS 

The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case 
Small talk and manipulation

I'll destroy your world
Without even blinking
What on earth
Were you thinking

I've got seven ways to end you
Already worked out
Drown you in guilt
You didn't even know about

Coming right at you, no hesitation
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion
Sting like a scorpion

Slowly take your everything
Ruined reputation
Need no convincing
This is your education 

Don't trust anyone
Life on the run
The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case 

Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you 
Life on the run
The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case 

Coming right at you, no hesitation
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion
Sting like a scorpion

Oh, I've got seven ways to end you
The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case 
Not blinking
What were you 
Even thinking

Laughing at your own jokes
Not thinking about the past
It was all a hoax 
Always come in last 

Play around and find out
I always get my way
You can scream and shout
But in the end you'll pay

Coming right at you, no hesitation
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion
Sting like a scorpion

I'll destroy your world
Without even blinking
And while you're shrinking
I'll be over here drinking

Not keeping the promises
See right through the disguises
The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case 

Coming right at you, no hesitation
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion
Sting like a scorpion

Oh, I've got seven ways to end you
The thrill of the chase
Hopeless case
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion

Play around and find out
I always get my way
You can scream and shout
But in the end you'll pay

Coming right at you, no hesitation
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion
Sting like a scorpion

I'll destroy your world
Without even blinking
And while you're shrinking
I'll be over here drinking

Not keeping the promises
See right through the disguises
The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case 

Coming right at you, no hesitation
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion
Sting like a scorpion

Oh, I've got seven ways to end you
The thrill of the chase
A hopeless case
Small talk and manipulation
Ghost you into oblivion

THE FIRE IN MY EYES 

In the night your touch
Haunts my mind
Do I miss you much
Well, yeah, you were my kind

Never met anyone like you before
Made my mind race
There was so much to explore
In my dreams I see your face

Get ready to see 
The fire in my eyes
Carry on, forget the lies
The fire in my eyes
Carry on towards the skies
Get ready to see 
The fire in my eyes

Now there's nothing to do
But to walk away
What you said is not true
Leading me astray 

I was trying to hold it together
While you made a pass 
Then the whole thing 
Broke like glass

Get ready to see 
The fire in my eyes
Carry on, forget the lies
The fire in my eyes
Carry on towards the skies
Get ready to see 
The fire in my eyes

Thought I needed you
Wanted you too
Now I refuse to feel blue
Time for horizons new 

When will I learn
Don't fall in love too soon
Trust must be earned
Then you can reach for the moon

Get ready to see 
The fire in my eyes
Carry on, forget the lies
The fire in my eyes
Carry on towards the skies
Get ready to see 
The fire in my eyes

In the night your touch
Still haunts my mind
The whole thing
Broke like glass
I know now
There's nothing to do
But to walk away

FLY 

I could feel the air shift
Now we're just adrift
Swallow your words right now
Don't ask me how 

Stop sugarcoating
Floating in your thoughts
Always showboating
Going at a rate of knots

Are you willing to fly
Are you willing to try
It's time to take a chance
Come join this dance
Are you willing to fly 

Promises are in the air
I see through the ruse
Nothing here is fair
Gonna light the fuse 

I'm seeing visions
Of skies so blue
But when the curtain falls
It's just me and you

Are you willing to fly
Are you willing to try
It's time to take a chance
Come join this dance
Are you willing to fly 

Your heart’s a masquerade
And I’m not gonna buy
I guess it was well played
But it was a temporary high

Calling me just as
I'd forgotten you
It was never going to last
I knew you were not true

Are you willing to fly
Are you willing to try
It's time to take a chance
Come join this dance
Are you willing to fly 

Are you willing to fly 
Are you willing to try
It's time to take a chance
Come join this dance
Are you willing to fly

6. Stop And Think


THE LAST CHANCE

The night is too still
Time to let it go
You went in for the kill
But it was all for show

A fiery argument
But now no one is watching
We didn't meet by accident
No need to be charming

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

Behind closed doors
Everything's a mess
Washing up on your shores
Could you care any less

The cracks are starting to show
It's your lonesome road
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

Behind closed doors
Everything's a mess
Washing up on your shores
Could you care any less

The cracks are starting to show
It's your lonesome road
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

Somehow you won all 
The mind games
Summer turned into fall
Not naming any names 
Oh no I'm not naming any names

The night is too still
Time to let it go
You went in for the kill
But it was all for show

The cracks are starting to show
It's your lonesome road
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

The fog will soon lift
You can't repeat a night like this
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code
It's the last chance
It's the last dance 
The night is too still
Time to let it go
You went in for the kill
But it was all for show

A fiery argument
But now no one is watching
We didn't meet by accident
No need to be charming

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

Behind closed doors
Everything's a mess
Washing up on your shores
Could you care any less

The cracks are starting to show
It's your lonesome road
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

Behind closed doors
Everything's a mess
Washing up on your shores
Could you care any less

The cracks are starting to show 
It's your lonesome road
I thought I wanted to know
But there's a secret code

Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last chance
Emotional hurricane
Kiss me right now
Like it's the last dance

Somehow you won all 
The mind games
Summer turned into fall
Not naming any names 
Oh no I'm not naming any names

You went in for the kill
But it was all for show

You can't repeat a night like this

But there's a secret code
It's the last chance

GREEN LIGHT

All I wanted was one night
You bound the hands of time 
I gave up without a fight
I don't care if it's a crime

I hear you're with yet another
Fading out of view
Careful what they'll uncover
In all shades of blue 

Don’t you care, don’t you see
I fell fast and hard
I gave you the green light and the key
That night, cold and scarred

My heart was on my sleeve
You said I'd be the first you'd call
I watched you leave
Summer turned into fall

Everything I do is in vain
I lost this game
All I can hear is the rain
Ever since you turned off my flame

Don’t you care, don’t you see
I fell fast and hard
I gave you the green light and the key
That night, cold and scarred

I hear you're with yet another
Fading out of view
Careful what they'll uncover
In all shades of blue 

Don’t you care, don’t you see
I fell fast and hard
I gave you the green light and the key
That night, cold and scarred

My heart was on my sleeve
You said I'd be the first you'd call
I watched you leave
Summer turned into fall

Don’t you care, don’t you see
I fell fast and hard
I gave you the green light and the key
That night, cold and scarred

You don’t care, no, you don’t see
It's a bittersweet chase
It's a tale of three
I came last in this race

All I wanted was one night
You bound the hands of time 
I gave up without a fight
I don't care if it's a crime

My heart was on my sleeve
You said I'd be the first you'd call
I watched you leave
Summer turned into fall

Don’t you care, don’t you see
I fell fast and hard
I gave you the green light and the key
That night, cold and scarred

All I can hear is the rain
Ever since the day 
You turned off my flame

I'm screaming under water
Waking up from a nightmare
Now I'm so much stronger
And you lost a love so rare

Everything I do is in vain
I lost this game
All I can hear is the rain
Ever since you turned off my flame

Don’t you care, don’t you see
I fell fast and hard
I gave you the green light and the key
That night, cold and scarred

THE LAST SUNSET

Don't want any advice
Cold as ice
Nowhere to hide
Believe the lie

Want no trouble
It's gonna cost you double
Undercover of the night
Better hold on tight

No rules here
There's nothing to fear
Don't want any advice
Cold as ice

It's the last sunset
Hurt your pride
Lost the bet 
Nowhere to hide
It's the last sunset

The final stand
Let's go all in
Drown in the quicksand
It's a surefire win

Sometimes it burns
Right on the brink
The world turns
Makes you think

It's the last sunset
Hurt your pride
Lost the bet 
Nowhere to hide
It's the last sunset

Don't want any advice
Cold as ice
Nowhere to hide
Believe the lie

Want no trouble

Undercover of the night
Better hold on tight

No rules here

Don't want any advice
Cold as ice

There's nothing to fear
Don't want any advice

Nowhere to hide
It's the last sunset

The last sunset
Hurt your pride
Lost the bet 
Nowhere to hide
It's the last sunset

Don't want any advice
Cold as ice
Nowhere to hide

HARD AS STEEL 

I'm losing control
Stuck in the past
Looking through the keyhole
The die has been cast

Wandering in the wilderness
How can you be so cold
I thought you were into this
You're giving up pure gold

Not all you see is true
There's illusions by the dozen
Not all you hear is honest
Sounds appearing all of a sudden
Not all you feel is real
Now my mind is as hard as steel
Yeah it's as hard as steel

Still thinking about things
We didn't do
Still dreaming about
What it would be like to be with you

I walked away unharmed
And locked away my heart
I was totally charmed
But decided to be smart

Not all you see is true
There's illusions by the dozen
Not all you hear is honest
Sounds appearing all of a sudden
Not all you feel is real
Now my mind is as hard as steel
Yeah it's as hard as steel
Yeah it's as hard as steel

Not all you see is true
There's illusions by the dozen
Not all you hear is honest
Sounds appearing all of a sudden
Not all you feel is real
Now my mind is as hard as steel
Yeah it's as hard as steel

I'm thinking about things
We didn't do
Still dreaming about
What it would be like to be with you

I walked away unharmed
And locked away my heart
I was totally charmed
But decided to be smart

Not all you see is true
There's illusions by the dozen
Not all you hear is honest
Sounds appearing all of a sudden
Not all you feel is real
Now my mind is as hard as steel
Yeah it's as hard as steel
Yeah it's as hard as steel

I'm headed for the border
I'm not coming back
Still thinking about things
We didn't do
Still dreaming about
What it would be like to be with you

THE PLANETS ALIGNED 

It always hits you
When you least expect 
Yeah when you least expect

There's so many questions in the air
I thought it was pure magic
Got the thousand yard stare
Oh it's so hopelessly tragic

It's a non-winning ticket
Loaded from the start
Took me to my very limit
Now I want no part

Tell me were the planets aligned
I was into playing with fire
And thought you were
That way inclined
But now the sugar rush 
Of you is so dire

Why does it always hit you
When you least expect 
Need a new point of view 
I'm still the number one suspect

Wish I could stop it all
You promised me everything
I used to feel so tall
Wasn't suppose to expect anything 

Tell me were the planets aligned
I was into playing with fire
And thought you were
That way inclined
But now the sugar rush 
Of you is so dire

Tell me were the planets aligned
I was into playing with fire
And thought you were
That way inclined
But now the sugar rush 
Of you is so dire

They keep telling me to step away
You're nothing but trouble
It's make or break, all the same
It's make or break

It's a non-winning ticket
Loaded from the start
Took me to my very limit
Now I want no part

You're over there buying shots
And I'm over here calling them
Going to carry on living
And you'll carry on spinning

Tell me were the planets aligned
I was into playing with fire
And thought you were
That way inclined
But now the sugar rush 
Of you is so dire

Gave you my heart for safekeeping
You pushed it into a freefall
But I'm going to carry on living
And you'll carry on spinning
Can't understand this feeling
But hey it's your call 
Hey it's your call 
But hey it's your call

STOP AND THINK 

Thought I found
My happy ending
Turned out I was just spellbound
With all your wicked tempting

Everybody said don't do it
But as usual I didn't listen 
Just waiting for the next hit
Trying to find the true vision

Now I've got to
Stop and think
Barely back from the brink
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto
Reality too broken
To try to rescue

You're a ticking timebomb
About to go boom!
A tornado waiting to form
In a sky full of gloom

I always think I can rescue
All the lost souls like you
Even if they're quite untrue
Need to change my point of view

Now I've got to
Stop and think
Barely back from the brink
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto
Reality too broken
To try to rescue

I've got to stop and think
Barely from the brink
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto
Reality too broken
To try to rescue

I've got to stop and think
Still waiting for the next hit
Am I back from the brink
Got to find my grit

Thought I found
My happy ending
Turned out I was just spellbound
With all your wicked tempting

I always think I can rescue
All the lost souls like you
Even if they're quite untrue
Need to change my point of view

Now I've got to
Stop and think (and think)
Barely back from the brink (from the brink)
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto (hold onto)
Reality too broken
To try to rescue (to rescue)

Everybody said don't do it 
But as usual I didn't listen (didn't listen)
Waiting for the next hit
Got to find my grit 

I've got to 
Stop and think (and think)
Yeah I've got to
Stop and think

Thought I found
My happy ending
Turned out I was just spellbound
With all your wicked tempting

Everybody said don't do it
But as usual I didn't listen 
Just waiting for the next hit
Trying to find the true vision

Now I've got to
Stop and think
Barely back from the brink
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto
Reality too broken
To try to rescue

You're a ticking timebomb
About to go boom!
A tornado waiting to form
In a sky full of gloom

I always think I can rescue
All the lost souls like you
Even if they're quite untrue
Need to change my point of view

Now I've got to
Stop and think
Barely back from the brink
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto
Reality too broken
To try to rescue

I've got to stop and think
Barely from the brink
Dreams too hard 
To hold onto
Reality too broken
To try to rescue

I've got to stop and think
Still waiting for the next hit
Am I back from the brink
Got to find my grit

Thought I found
My happy ending
Turned out I was just spellbound
With all your wicked tempting

All the lost souls like you
Even if they're quite untrue
Need to change my point of view

Now I've got to
Stop and think (and think)
Barely back from the brink (from the brink)
