Verse 1 -
Cool and calm, We're just collecting
All eyes turn, but nobodies dreaming
A soul of swing, here's your king
True beauty, an impressionable thing
A fire I can't tame, what's a game without a burn
You're so hard to read, I don't need to learn
Its hot in here with all this tease, You'll think I'll yearn
Don't be a fool made your move its my turn
Pre Chorus -
You’re now with me
Living in this dream
Rich in my company
No one more supreme
Chorus -
When you’re my queen, dean of the scene
Let yourself succumb to the nicotine
In the heat that bridges the between
Tell me now, do you know what they mean?
Verse 2 -
Lost bottom feeding, let’s take you higher
Try to relax, you’ve revealed your desire
You look so lost, so let me inspire
Royalty, queen of the empire
You know your looks please, ten out of ten
It’s never a question of if, just when
Sealed with a victory, the holy amen
That you’ll always beg for more, again and again
Pre Chorus -
You’re now with me,
Living in this dream,
Rich in my company,
No one more supreme
Chorus -
When you’re my queen, dean of the scene
Let yourself succumb to the nicotine
In the heat that bridges the between
Tell me now, do you know what they mean?

Verse 1:
Hope today, feels so, far away
Letting go, of what you know, must change
When we, watch what, we won’t save
But we preach, everyday
Who you ask, will flip the page?
Not one of us, we care the same
The shadow's lust, who begs today
won’t see the light, that it craves
Disaster strikes, we numb the pain
A loss is felt, but no push for gain
The scent of blood, on every path
Just wash the truth, it fades to black
Chorus:
When will we wake up, and not accept the same
We just hide our heads, do we feel no shame?
The ripples pass, and our world gently exhales
Preparing itself for future deadly inhales
Verse 2:
The youth, it craves, a full say
But nothing, drips down, from a saving grace
Fueled on, whims of, tomorrow today
It won’t get done, yet here we calmly remain
Will we live, to see a home
That truly might, survive the storm
Exchanging comfort, for the price of truth
We want to shout, but not if it blows off our roof
The baby tremble, of little dust
Is all that will be, until the earth gives up
I call on all, but what do they say?
The same as me, let’s wait another day
Chorus:
When will we wake up, and not accept the same
We just hide our heads, do we feel no shame?
The ripples pass, and our world gently exhales
Preparing itself for future deadly inhales

Verse 1 -
Look at what the kingdom has come to be
Your glory was always safe with me
Have all the land, take any sea
This wealth will only be our mortality
Just breathe, open your eyes
you’ll enjoy yourself, and off we go
Verse 2 -
In this jungle, I hold all the authority
The treasure, as far as the eye can see
My crown of roses, for freedom’s key
Every night, as animals we’re free
Just breathe, open your eyes
you’ll enjoy yourself, and off we go

Verse 1 -
The end is calling, I hear you whisper no
Oh the price I would pay for time to move more slow
We smile and enjoy, all as to not displace
What the coming butcher will leave us no trace
Pre Chorus -
Look at me, lose yourself inside
you must find the answer, some guide
Try not to wonder if I was ever right
You'll never imagine what that might invite
Chorus -
Never let me, never let me go
Hold me, hold me close
Please don’t say, please don’t say no
For I will always, always know
All that’s left is your prints on my pillow
Verse 2 -
I could take your hand to feel it go limp
You ordered a champion but present is your wimp
Loud as I can be crying heavens we must
Our portrait of trust, slowly collecting dust
Pre Chorus -
Truly, is there anything left to sing,
when maybe I should accept the most obvious thing
I’ve left our love in such an awful place to die
As I search in your eyes, begging to know why
Chorus -
Never let me, never let me go
Hold me, hold me close
Please don’t say, please don’t say no
For I will always, always know
All that’s left is your print on my pillow

Verse 1
we ran and we danced and we fall to embrace
the cryptic notes that lie smooth on your face
the blind child who fell upon a swan
lost in our adventures, we remain withdrawn
the afternoons wonders are a comical haze
your little quirks will be always
the soft simple drops, the falling rain
deep in my arms, our love so vain
Chorus
for hours, for days, my world rearranged
love was a light for the room long unchanged
that became an earthquake for the home
that ticks and tocks with life’s metronome
Verse 2
As our love choked the sun, and withered the days
the cut throat shadow signalled the ways
but love is a drug we always chase
we feel only wonders as we run in the race
as friends swim in rivers, we would hide in the shade
I’d do anything so you wouldn’t fade
I’ll never forget the short term goodbye
with which our love would begin to untie
Chorus
for hours, for days, my world rearranged
love was a light for the room long unchanged
but it became an earthquake for the home
that ticks and tocks for life’s metronome
Bridge
before the hour fades
and we crush the cities we made
before the memories get locked away
and we can’t rekindle a dying flame
don’t run for the door with such haste
couldn’t you just stay where it’s warm and safe?
i can hear the wind is calling your name
and your desperate to get out and see the day
but before the earth eats us away
I know you will look back when the sky is grey,
and your desperate to know
know the all you gave is a treasure i hold
but know, always know your love is safe
from these chipped bones, i must make my way
but know, always know darling your love is truly safe
your love is truly safe, your love is truly

Verse -
Lost in a haven we took for granted
We would lie awake until reality landed
But in those escapes, when we felt so far
We could taste the heavens and rest upon a star
All your words made me feel so alive, the
pulsing lion roar of my thoughts in overdrive
Noticing only the dark turn of the sky
the long slow fall off this glorious high
Chorus -
Promise after promise as we drifted away
Knowing as we parted there was so much left to say
Promise after promise as we boarded our next flight
Knowing as we parted it’ll never be alright
It’ll never be alright
Verse -
Once what we shared, a mountain of our time
Ever so blind to our insidious crime
Oh how we thought we tried
I said it was fine, but really I just lied
Here we are now, at the end of the line
Still looking out for a possible sign
All alone, I shall fantasise
Asking myself what it all signifies
Chorus -
Promise after promise as we drifted away
Knowing as we parted there was so much left to say
Promise after promise as we boarded our next flight
Knowing as we parted it’ll never be alright
It’ll never be alright

Verse 1 -
Awoken by the peace, and cuddled by the kind
Rested in ignorance, too young this simple mind
Calm at breakfast, with no hint of the fear
How I wish for an offer that would keep us all here
As we huddled for warmth, the truth was confined
Still the daily remind, creeping up from behind.
Never we'd imagine, the death would be so clear
in the blur of surprise, just let me disappear.
Pre Build -
Down has come the ceiling
As this truth has brought down the sky
A brand new weight, I am caught kneeling
Begging for a beautiful lie
If we could play pretend and dress up this feeling
no one will hear the movements nearby
Oh spring, aid the healing
The change now settling, but we’ll always ask why
Build -
Always conquer, never divide
No one can promise better, lest we hope and try
Always conquer, never divide
Forging together, by the dying of the light
Verse 2 -
Denial was but an exit, a fault in our stride
By the footfalls of others, I promise we tried.
To live by the hope, a rescue would arrive
knowing all to well that in shadows it could thrive
Seasonal, by the years, caught in a landslide
Under a warm sun, the child will always reside
Take the gospel on how the boy did survive
Who, now a man, must march and strive
Pre Build -
As we reach our final life
I take comfort in knowing, after this flight
When we feel the sum of our strife
at least our worms will feast tonight
The future now at the mercy of the knife
When vanishes my only shining knight
This madness is throwing us into the wildlife
But by loyalty, camaraderie, we're together to win this fight
Build -
Always conquer, never divide
No one can promise better, lest we hope and try
Always conquer, never divide
Forging together, by the dying of the light
