The Game

Sitting on your white and fluffy cloud
Don't know what you're doing don't wanna come down
I hate to tell you this is what you left behind.
Well yes, life's a mess but I would have thought
That someone would showed you how it worked
Hiding your head has never solved a thing.
Oo-oo-h, just take a step back, oh
Grab your life back.
Shut out the crushing dark
And take a good old look inside your heart
It doesn't take much to feel afraid.
It's just the way we play the game.
Floating in your blue lagoon
Just drifting where the world pulls you
What's your purpose when all you do is stare?
Oo-oo-h, just take a step back, oh
Grab your life back.
Shut out the crushing dark
And take a good old look inside your heart
It doesn't take much to feel afraid.
It's just the way we play the game.
Games, games, games, just play the game.
Games, (don't you want to play the)
Games, (come along and play the)
Games, just play the game.
Oo-oo-h, just take a step back, oh
Grab your life back.
Shut out the crushing dark
And take a good old look inside your heart
It doesn't take much to feel afraid.
It's just the way we play the game.

Obvious (Better Off Now)
04:22
|

|
Denial, breathed in every word.
Denial, but you just can't keep it up.
'Cause every time you let it slip
Every time you get caught up in it.
And I hate to say but it's so obvious
How his name sends a shiver down your spine
And I hate to say but it's so obvious how
As if one more time, and it'll be what you wanted it to be.
It's a trial, holding back the flood you've made.
It's a trial, trying to chain it in.
'Cause every time you lose your grip
Every time you get caught up in it.
And I hate to say but it's so obvious
How his name sends a shiver down your spine
And I hate to say but it's so obvious how
And I hate to say but it's so obvious
How you wish that you could say that 'he is mine'.
And I hate to say but it's so obvious how
As if one more time, and it'll be what you wanted it to be.
Maybe this was all you wanted
Maybe you're better off now. (x4)
And I hate to say but it's so obvious
How his name sends a shiver down your spine
And I hate to say but it's so obvious how
And I hate to say but it's so obvious
How you wish that you could say that 'he is mine'.
And I hate to say but it's so obvious how
Years down the line you'll say
Maybe I am better off now.

This Way
03:52
|
|||
|
I was lost without you
I was broken without you
I was hurt without you by my side
Through those painful endless nights.
Wandering the wilderness for a sign
The sign that you would be mine
The stars that look down on me
Sing the song
The song of you and me.
Ooh, that special song of you and me.
And everything that I say can be meant for us this way
And everything that we ever were was not meant
Not meant to end this way now
Ooh not meant to end this way now.
I am weak without you
I am desperate without a clue
I am lonely without you holding my hand
Through the hurt you understand.
'Cause I wandered the wilderness for a sign
The sign that you would be mine
The stars that looked down on me
Sang the song
The song of you and me.
Ooh, the sad song of you and me.
But everything that I said could be meant for us this way
And everything that we ever were was not meant
Not meant to be this way now
Ooh not meant to be this way now.
I thought it would never end
I thought, thought you were my godsend
I thought that through thick or thin
You would be with me, with me, with me this way
Comforting me this way.
But everything that I said was never meant for us this way
And everything that we ever were was a lie
A lie I tried to hide
Ooh never this way
Ooh why did you choose this way?
Ooh not when I love you this way.

Stay this way forever
Don't you dare change
And we'll still be counting the days
Long through this age.
Well that's what I said before
But I take that all back now
'Cause I've seen how much damage is caused
By clinging too tight to what's gone.
And while 11:49 goes by
We're sharing our lives out under the sky
As if nothing else could infiltrate our minds.
But who knew just how time could fly?
Has a tendency to pass you by
Before you know it you've been left behind
At 11:49.
Will you keep hold of me?
Now you've seen the truth?
And can I still count on you
To find our place out here?
And while 11:49 goes by
We're sharing our lives out under the sky
As if nothing else could infiltrate our minds.
But who knew just how time could fly?
Has a tendency to pass you by
Before you know it you've been left behind
At 11:49.
Yes, the past holds dear to me
But I can't go on living there.
And I will honour the memory
But it's time to take a breath of fresh air.
And while 11:49 goes by
We're sharing our lives out under the sky
As if nothing else could infiltrate our minds.
But who knew just how time could fly?
Has a tendency to pass you by
Before you know it you've been left behind
At 11:49.

Mirror
04:00
|

|
I know you're set in your ways
And I know that you think that that's okay
But I don't.
'Cause there's too many people who walk this earth
Everything in their hand but a sense of self worth
I know.
But one day you will look into that mirror and see
The person who you were designed to be.
Don't lose sight of her.
Mirror, mirror.
The devil will use it to get to you
But you gotta be strong don't let him through
'Cause you're strong girl
You're stronger.
I know you think I don't understand
That life is hard and nothing goes like planned
But I do.
'Cause too many times I've heard you say
For once in your life you don't want to run away.
Mirror, mirror.
The devil will use it to get to you
But you gotta be strong don't let him through
'Cause you're strong girl
You're stronger.
You look on by you don't let it show
How much it really hurts you don't want them to know
But I'm never going to let you sink that low again. (x3)
Mirror, mirror.
The devil will use it to get to you
But you gotta be strong don't let him through
'Cause you're strong girl
You're stronger.

Deep End
03:49
|
|||
|
See me now, rush rush rush
Filling life with far too much
No time to stop, no time to breathe.
But you bring me my escape
Launch me into freedom
Away go my worries.
Your voice carries me through.
I feel like I've been thrown in the deep end
Locked in this state my feet can't feel the ground.
And everything I face may seem impossible
But I've stumbled on a gem, your music's what I've what I've found.
Never got to sit it out
Once it starts don't dare to doubt
No time to think, no time to pause.
Sing to me, once again
Let me feel the calm it always brings
Let the weight of the day just disappear.
Your voice carries me through.
I feel like I've been thrown in the deep end
Locked in this state my feet can't feel the ground.
And everything I face may seem impossible
But I've stumbled on a gem, your magic's what I've what I've found.
And I love the way
You always stay with me
So no matter what I've done
You're there to show me heaven in a place where there is none.
I feel like I've been thrown in the deep end
Locked in this state my feet can't feel the ground.
And everything I face may seem impossible
But I've stumbled on a gem, your music's what I've what I've found.
I feel like I've been thrown in the deep end
Locked in this state my feet can't feel the ground.
And everything I face may seem impossible
But I've stumbled on a gem, your magic's what I've what I've found.

Come In Time
05:01
|

Are you swimming in the ocean, or drowning in the sea?
Are you beating, beating those tides or letting them lead?
You say there's nothing left, but when did you last check?
You just gotta make your mind up girl and go for it, let nothing hold you back.
Feel the breeze running through your hair, this is what its like to be free.
Lose your fears, drop your load, and take a chance on me.
Love what you never thought you could, say goodbye to doubt for good
And set off for Narnia, girl you can make it, you just gotta take it.
Don't worry about December,
Don't fret about the weather.
You'll find meaning in the truth; a whole world set apart for you
Who you are will make it through.
Those days will come in time.
Everything you've ever done has its place, every moment lived a purpose.
It's not just you we all make mistakes, but each one is a lesson learned.
Don't try to hide behind a mask, I'm telling you it never works.
Before long the cracks start to show and all you're left with is a empty shell.
Don't worry about December,
Don't fret about the weather.
You'll find meaning in the truth; a whole world set apart for you
Who you are will make it through.
Those days will come in time.
You've gotta get back out of hiding
Put your weaknesses on show.
When the darkness comes you fight it
And one day soon you'll come back, step into the light.
Don't worry about December,
Don't fret about the weather.
You'll find meaning in the truth; a whole world set apart for you
Who you are will make it through.
Those days will come in time.

Made In Heaven

Late night promises
Midnight tears,
Blame the scars again
It's easier than facing the truth.
Don't you know you're beautiful
And no one can take that away?
Feel the pulse that's beating inside
And let it bring you back to life.
Made in heaven
You were made to shine
Made to illuminate the darkest night.
Made in honesty
And sewn in love
Don't listen to what they say,
You're more than good enough.
Don't let go again,
Waiting on back at square one.
Find your soul again,
You only get to use it once.
Made in heaven
You were made to shine
Made to illuminate the darkest night.
Made in honesty
And sewn in love
Don't listen to what they say,
You're more than good enough.
Made in heaven but you lost your way
Crawling down the avenue of past mistakes.
But you can still turn round, no it's never too late
You can't just give up you gotta stand and fight your fate.
Fight your fate!
Made in heaven
You were made to shine
Made to illuminate the darkest night.
Made in honesty
And sewn in love
Don't listen to what they say,
You're more than good enough.
Made in heaven
You were made to shine,
Made to illuminate the darkest night.

Open Door
04:35
|

|
Every thought is an open door
Secrets flee from every corner
They scream from my brain, forever crying out the name
Because my thoughts are an open door.
Every thought is an open door
There's no one left to judge any more
We're all walking contradictions, of mind versus acts
For my thoughts are an open door.
Think of me, think of you,
We're all hiding from the truth
How we'd love to turn the tables,
Tell these blockages to move.
Think of him, think of her,
How we'd feel if we could learn...
How to close the door, how not to feel any more.
Every thought is an open door
Every heart left aching for more
There's nowhere to hide, my fears are in plain sight
Now my thoughts are an open door.
Think of me, think of you,
We're all hiding from the truth
How we'd love to turn the tables,
Tell these blockages to move.
Think of him, think of her,
How we'd feel if we could learn...
How to close the door, how not to feel any more.
Our cards laid out on the table.
Our rights have been misplaced.
Now our fragile hearts are a weave of threads
Made from this mess of a life where our lonely feet tread.
Think of me, think of you,
We're all hiding from the truth
How we'd love to turn the tables,
Tell these blockages to move.
Think of him, think of her,
How we'd feel if we could learn...
How to close the door, how not to feel any more.

Alive With The Fire
03:14
|
|||
|
Slowly sinking way down in the ground
Took your time out, time to bring it back around
I saw you like you used to be
And the way you've become now is a tragedy
But I know you'll bring that person back to me.
'Cause you can see that sparkle in your eyes that went away
Reborn with the hope of a brand new day
Just promise me this time it won't slip away.
'Cause it's alive with the fire that burns in you,
One of a kind that's uniquely you
So let's laugh at the world the way we used to do.
There's no way out except the way you came
Planned your life out but look what it became
The path you've been on is a lonely one
But from here on out you're back under the sun
You'll leave behind the dark from where you've come.
'Cause you can see that sparkle in your eyes that went away
Reborn with the hope of a brand new day
Just promise me this time it won't slip away.
'Cause it's alive with the fire that burns in you,
One of a kind that's uniquely you
So let's laugh at the world the way we used to do.
And you're the perfect mirror image
Of a life we knew of once
But all turned back to front.
And the journey may have spiraled
And you may have fallen the slippery slope
And the way ahead looks steep but you gotta embrace the ride.
'Cause you can see that sparkle in your eyes that went away
Reborn with the hope of a brand new day
Just promise me this time it won't slip away.
'Cause it's alive with the fire that burns in you,
One of a kind that's uniquely you
So let's laugh at the world the way we used to do.

Free Society
03:53

Yesterday I walked the streets free to be what I wanted to be,
Today I find I'm suddenly not allowed to be me
I see I'm not good enough any more.
So won't you please tell me why what used to be fine is so wrong
Or were you planning this backstabbing all along?
Please explain 'cause I just don't understand
Well I'm not sitting back and letting you walk all over me so
You say that we're all equal?
Well I guess some are just more equal than me and
Everyone has a right to make their own choice
But if it's not what you want then you'll just hide us away.
All you did is take your discrimination
And turn it on its head, wrap it up in silver paper,
Tie it with gold ribbon, sprinkle it with glitter,
And call it free society.
Yesterday I had the freedom to believe what I thought was right
Today I find I have to shape my views to fit your mould tight
I'm not trusted enough any more.
So won't you please tell me why we all have to bend to your ways
When our own worked fine until you got in the way?
Please explain 'cause it just doesn't make sense.
Well I'm not sitting back and letting you walk all over me so
You say that we're all equal?
Well I guess some are just more equal than me and
Everyone has a right to make their own choice
But if it's not what you want then you'll just hide us away.
All you did is take your discrimination
And turn it on its head, wrap it up in silver paper,
Tie it with gold ribbon, sprinkle it with glitter,
And call it free society.
Well by all means do what you think best
But don't think that your opinions are better than all the rest
We're not trying to undermine your authority
But I think you'll find we're no silent minority
Well I'm not sitting back and letting you walk all over me so
You say that we're all equal?
Well I guess some are just more equal than me and
Everyone has a right to make their own choice
But if it's not what you want then you'll just hide us away.
All you did is take your discrimination
And turn it on its head, wrap it up in silver paper,
Tie it with gold ribbon, sprinkle it with glitter,
And call it free society.
