Surrender 03:42
Verse 1 Could I just surrender, would you let me cry Could you hold my temper, and let me see the light Coz’ all these things I’d do, just to have you here Moving on is torture, but just might get me through Verse 2 When heartache comes to call, it’s hard to make it, it seems so dark When heartache comes to call, in times of struggle, it gets you down Bridge And I’d walk, through the darkest nights and I’d talk just to you Cause I’d walk just to make you smile, just to be with you But I must let go and keep it strong, you broke my temper, done me wrong And I see you break me then move straight on, you said you cared, but it’s one last time Chorus I’m gone, I’m gone. I’ll surrender and move right on I’m gone, I’m gone. Leave that life, and leave you ‘cause I’m gone, I’m gone

All For You 04:08
Verse 1 They say there’s only one love, they say there’s only one chance I think I lost that one again and I know Pre-Chorus It’s only me, there’s only you, it’s always you, it’s all for you Chorus They say my rivers run dry, got to rest my body, got to rest my soul tonight (It’s all for you) They say emotions are high, got to rest my body, got to rest my soul tonight (It’s all for you) Bridge They say that rest’s no good, they know it’s all for you They know my mind’s in two, they know it’s all for you They say that rest’s no good, they say they knew she would They know it’s all for you Verse 2 I think that was a last chance, the think that time was my last I sit here writing these songs again, and I know it’s all for you Chorus They say my rivers run dry, got to rest my body, got to rest my soul tonight (It’s all for you) They say emotions are high, got to rest my body, got to rest my soul tonight (It’s all for you) Bridge They say that rest’s no good, they know it’s all for you They know my mind’s in two, they know it’s all for you They say that rest’s no good, they say they knew she would They know it’s all for you Chorus They say my rivers run dry, got to rest my body, got to rest my soul tonight (It’s all for you) They say emotions are high, got to rest my body, got to rest my soul tonight (It’s all for you)

Coming Home 02:22
4.
Verse 1 I claim that I want nothing more Than to be alone with all my thought Then why do I feel pain inside When you ignore my sullen cries Verse 2 I try to lie for just myself Convincing me beyond all help Pray for me before I fall Into this trap, become like all Chorus Become like all Believing that I am complete When alone I’ve a soul to keep

Addicted 03:01
Verse 1 You seem to taunt me, when I think I’m nearly through You know what to say to me, and always what to do Just when I think I’m free, I feel the hooks sink in Once again I’m caught on you, and forgotten everything All the nights of anger, and saying that I’m done Disappear in moments, click your fingers and I run Too long to say you cared, when you through it all away Once again I’m caught on you, and forgotten yesterday Pre-Chorus Even though when I think of you, I live through all this pain You’re like my secret drug, I’m addicted once again I see me fall apart, I can never get enough Last night I was hating you, but there’s always one more chance, just another Verse 2 Every time that I think you care, you leave me in the lurch My trust so broken yeah, it can barely even hurt I know you fake it, but it always seem so true Maybe you should change careers, there’s an Oscar there for you Too late to apologise, even though you never would Get your kicks from taunting me, when I thought you never could I write these songs for you instead of saying how I feel Once again I’m caught on you, like a sickness I am ill Chorus I die every time I see you, and I cry, change time I’d never meet you I lie when I say I’m ok, I lie every time I start a new day Just need someone to save me I die every time I see you, and I cry, change time I’d never meet you I lie when I say I’m ok, it’s just a temporary lie Just to keep me going through the days Caught on you x 3

Take My Hand 03:41
Verse 1 Take my hand, guide me through these darkened lands Be my strength, I’ll be your man Hold me close, whisper all your darkest fears Hold me close, I’ll dry your tears Stay with me, after everything we’ve done We just know it can’t be won Pre-Chorus And I see it’s over, but I’ll still feel the same I could be your lover, not the one that got away But I’ve seen us change, we’ve gone so far It’s over now and you’ve left your scars on me There’s another side to me Chorus I find the way, the way you lie to me So hard to take, there’s another side to me I find it strange, that you only lie to me So hard to take, there’s another side to me Verse 2 I will try, taking everything I know Do my best, and try to grow Change for me, not to prove that you were right But to show that I can fight Every time, we would list all of our fears Losing you was always near Pre-Chorus 2 And I see you moved on, you were quick enough to change After everything you told me, in so many different ways But I should of guessed, this ain’t a first You’ve broken hearts, more than any I will see Just another lie to me Bridge I find the way, you lie so strange I find the way, you lie so strange Pre-Chorus 3 And I see it’s over, but you wanted me to change After all that I’ve been thinking, I can see that you’re deranged But it’s gone too far, we had our time I’m moving on, clear of all your lies to me There’s another side to me Chorus I find the way, the way you lie to me So hard to take, there’s another side to me I find it strange, that you only lie to me So hard to take, there’s another side to me

Verse 1 Everything I told you was the truth, I couldn’t even lie just once. Even in our times of sadness, the little things would mean so much If you could be the only thing I loved, then that’d be fine by me. Spend our lives together, float away into the sea Verse 2 Everything I told you was a lie, I couldn’t bare to see you down. I give it all to see you smile, to take away that little frown All of those little lies ive told, I didn’t think they’d hurt so much. Turn this love to heartache, felt with every touch Verse 3 Neither life I’ll ever know, without the words to say to you. For me they’ll exist forever, if only you knew too I’ll keep these little thoughts my own, and we can go our separate ways Tonight I’ll sit and wonder, will we ever meet again

On My Mind 02:37
10.
Verse 1 I leapt into an unknown world, to give my mind a taste To see if you could set me free from endless burning memories I gave my heart, I gave my trust, to you who I adored And everything you said to me, I believed in evermore Alone again, pent up with rage, re-found my broken trust If only I had seen this pain, I’d let my thoughts burn to the ground Chorus This ain’t a goodbye, but I won’t be seeing you again You’ve burnt me down, just so you know, this is good fucking riddance to you This ain’t a goodbye, after everything you’ve done I’ll wipe the memories, just so you know, this is good fucking riddance to you Verse 2 You spread your legs and spread your lies, like it was all the same But every night you’d be there, fucking him again You told me I was everything and that you couldn’t live If I weren’t there beside you, let’s hope this lie will stick We planned a world where we were one, and never set apart The hopeless dreams, naivety, endless, never real Bridge Once again I roam, surrounded by the dark Amongst a world of broken dreams and many broken hearts I’ve come along to join them, I’ve been here once before Not again to leave this place, settled, no remorse Chorus This ain’t a goodbye, but I won’t be seeing you again You’ve burnt me down, just so you know, this is good fucking riddance to you This ain’t a goodbye, after everything you’ve done I’ll wipe the memories, just so you know, this is good fucking riddance to you This ain’t a goodbye, but I won’t be seeing you again You’ve burnt me down, set me down to the ground

Verse 1 To think of trust I gave to you, broken down with all the lies you (I know I was naïve to trust in you) Told to me, I fell for you, with every kiss inside my dream (I was yours I gave all I know to you) You torture me, but can’t yet see, you let me down too many times to heal (With your lies, once again you broke me down) Chorus Can someone rescue me from all these lies you breathe And I can see, that we’re just along the way But you won’t rescue me, from monotony And I can see, that you weren’t there for me And it breaks me when I tell it but I can feel in my heart. You weren’t there, I can feel it All these plans we made together now nothing but a joke. You weren’t there, I can feel it Verse 2 I can picture talks of what’s to come, our future hangs on every word you (Seeing things that my mind will rage against) Say to me, you still feel love, but nothings how you wanted it to be (Your last words resonate in all my dreams) Chorus Can someone rescue me from all these lies you breathe And I can see, that we’re just along the way But you won’t rescue me, from monotony And I can see, that you weren’t there for me And I told you that you broke me, and you never even cared. You weren’t there, I can feel it All the nights we spent together was nothing but a dream. You weren’t there, I can feel it Bridge I can feel it, rescue me from lies you breathe, yeah (Naïve to trust in you) I can feel it, broken dreams not there for me, yeah (All I know to you) I can feel it, that night you said you left me, echoes through every thought Alone, a washed with memories, blame myself for every cause Replay, I still don’t get it, I thought you still wanted more Goodbye, forget the memories. I can feel it (x3) Goodbye, forget the memories

about

I started writing this album over 2 years ago and decided it was about time to finally record it. It isn't the slickest album ever produced but it was all recorded and mixed by me, in my living room, using one microphone, a guitar and me.
