2. Turn To Grey

Am I alive? Or have I expired?
Between sleep and consciousness
I'm sick of being tired

As the lights I see, bleed and turn to grey
Remember me for the noise I make
Don't let me fade, don't let me fade away

I'm the undesired son, I'm sorry mother
Thank you for the footsteps father
So proud of you my brother
There is a truth in sorrow, love is a liar
Staring at my ceiling all night long
I'm sick of being tired

As the lights I see, bleed and turn to grey
Remember me for the noise I make
Don't let me fade, don't let me fade away

I tilt my head back, I feel my heart beat
From lines on the mirror, my squeeze left for me
It takes all the bad then gives it all back
It feels like I'm drowning, it's harder to breathe

I tilt my head back, I feel my heart beat
From lines on the mirror, my squeeze left for me
It takes all the bad then gives it all back
It feels like I'm drowning, it's harder to breathe

I tilt my head back, I feel my heart beat
From lines on the mirror, my squeeze left for me
It takes all the bad then gives it all back
It feels like I'm drowning, it's harder to breathe

As the lights I see, bleed and turn to grey
Remember me for the noise I make
Don't let me fade, don't let me fade away

3. Vortex

[feat. Björn Strid]

All hands on deck, all hands on deck
She's about to take on water!
Mind the sails, mind the sails
Brace yourself!

Get on your knees and start to repent
This is a vortex, she is a vortex
This is my end

It's the calm before the storm
Poseidon rises through the fog
To take me

That bitter taste you leave that makes life harder to swallow
I know you were looking for something
I know you were looking for something
And you expect me to break but my bones are not hollow
I know I was looking for something
I know I was meant to be something more

This is my end, my silent descent
This is a vortex, she is a vortex
Get on your knees

It's the calm before the storm

That bitter taste you leave that makes life harder to swallow
I know you were looking for something
I know you were looking for something
And you expect me to break but my bones are not hollow
I know I was looking for something
I know I was meant to be something more

Harder to swallow…
Meant to be something more!
My bones are not hollow…

Get on your knees and start to repent
This is a vortex, she is a vortex
This is my end, my silent descent
This is a vortex, she is a vortex

This is a vortex, she is a vortex

I know I was looking for something… meant to be something more!

That bitter taste you leave that makes life harder to swallow
I know you were looking for something
I know you were looking for something
And you expect me to break but my bones are not hollow
I know I was looking for something
I know I was meant to be something more

Meant to be something more!

4. Rob Rodda

People's roles, people's status
Selling their souls for minimum wages
Mock my goals my expectations
Yet they're lost, they're stuck, they're fucked
They're suffering, suffering, suffering
I bare my soul, I lose control
I'm suffering, suffering, suffering
And no it's never gonna stop!

Yeah! I can't hide it
Guess I'm a sinner not a lover
And I'm like yeah! But I like it
God damn I'm a bad motherfucker!

See the way they're staring at me
Sin and misery
Pain that pleases my soul
I'm indestructible though
And it's never gonna stop when I'm like

Yeah! I can't hide it
Guess I'm a sinner not a lover
And I'm like yeah! But I like it
God damn I'm a bad motherfucker!

And what you gonna do?

The life I lead is conductive to my health
It's in the blood I bleed and a burden to my wealth

The life I lead is conductive to my health
It's in the blood I bleed and a burden to my wealth

The life I lead is conductive to my health
It's in the blood I bleed and a burden to my wealth

The life I lead is conductive to my health
It's in the blood I bleed…

Yeah! I can't hide it
Guess I'm a sinner not a lover
And I'm like yeah! But I like it
God damn I'm a bad motherfucker!

Yeah! I can't hide it
Guess I'm a sinner not a lover
And I'm like yeah! But I like it
God damn I'm a bad motherfucker!

5. Sticky Fingers

Bitter sweetness one of life little luxuries, in skin and sweat
Though the craving is phenomenal, it's a pleasure that I'd regret

For the moment the pain is gone
Just for the moment she relieves me of my mind

'Cause she's my medicine
But I'm not the kind of guy to meet her mother when
I have kissed her with this mouth
Tastes sweet not innocent, but I'm not worth the time of day
Her daddy say to stay away, stay away, stay away from me

Another beverage, another blow to my resistance, she lets me in
Little angel wants a demon, so I'll drown this girl in sin

And for the moment that pain is gone
'Cause when she's under me she feels like she is mine

'Cause she's my medicine
But I'm not the kind of guy to meet her mother when
I have kissed her with this mouth
Tasting her innocence, but I'm not worth the time of day
Her friends say to stay away, stay away, stay away from me

She said what are you rebelling against?
What are you rebelling against?

She said what are you rebelling against?
What are you rebelling against?

What have you got?
What have you got?
What have you got?
What have you got?

'Cause she's my medicine…

'Cause she's my medicine
But I'm not the kind of guy to meet her mother when
I have kissed her with this mouth
Tastes sweet not innocent, but I'm not worth the time of day
Her daddy say to stay away, stay away, stay away from me

She's my medicine
But I'm not the kind of guy to meet her mother when
I have kissed her with this mouth
Tasting her innocence, but I'm not worth the time of day
Her friends say to stay away, stay away, stay away from me

6. Voices

I'm living in a dream world, where I achieve nothing
Push out my dreams into the real world and let me feel something!

What's worse, fear or laziness?
Break some boundaries because my brain can't handle this
They're speak, speak, speaking to me
Give me something stronger to help me sleep

Laying awake, laying awake
I'm trying to fight but it's taking its toll
Laying awake, laying awake
They're buying your body but they're selling your soul
Laying awake, laying awake
I drown my sorrows but they take control
Laying awake, laying awake
I'm trying to find it

So I listen to the voices! Voices!
And they won't let me sleep
And they're making all my choices! Choices!
Sitting behind my eyes as they speak
Voices! Voices!
And they won't let me sleep
They're making all my choices and decisions
Breaking promises I can't keep

What's worse, fear or jealousy?
Voices screaming as they get the best of me
I can't get through tomorrow when I'm stuck on today
The dreams I had turn to grey

Laying awake, laying awake
They're buying your body but they're selling your soul
Laying awake, laying awake
I'm trying to find it

So I listen to the voices! Voices!
And they won't let me sleep
And they're making all my choices! Choices!
Sitting behind my eyes as they speak
Voices! Voices!
And they won't let me sleep
They're making all my choices and decisions
Breaking promises I can't keep

I know I don't need you but I need to let you go
I know I need to, yes I need to, I need to let you go

Need to let you… go!
Thoughts are thickening
Veins are rippling, God it's crippling
I've been searching my soul and it's sickening
It's gotta make sense in my mind to feel fine

So I listen to the voices! Voices!
And they won't let me sleep
And they're making all my choices! Choices!
Sitting behind my eyes as they speak
Voices! Voices!
And they won't let me sleep
They're making all my choices and decisions
Breaking promises I can't keep

7. Gravesend

Old man sitting by the bar
Wondering where life went and where his memories are

Bar keep, I'm finished, pour me another Guinness
With God as my witness, I made this place what it is
A toast to the sinners and all life's anti-winners
The low-lifes, the drinkers
The rebels, the over-thinkers

Where the graves end
Where the graves end
Where the graves end
Take a bow, there's nothing I can do to stop this now
Where the graves end
Where the graves end
Now my life is turned upside down
I used to be somebody in this town

Drinking with his picture upon the wall
Not the man he once was, this old decrepit fool

Bar keep, I'm finished, pour me another Guinness
With God as my witness, I made this place what it is
A toast to the sinners and all life's anti-winners
The low-lifes, the drinkers
The rebels, the over-thinkers

Where the graves end
Where the graves end
Where the graves end
Take a bow
Where the graves end
Where the graves end
Now my life is turned upside down
I used to be somebody in this town

Scumbags in the alleys, rapscallions in the street
A ritual for a Saturday, our Wembley in Northfleet
There's devils in the darkness, not a moment I repent 'cause
This is my silent descent

8. Under The Eagle

Under the eagle!

Breathe in, breathe deep
I'm no insomniac but I wish I could sleep
I've sinned, deceived
I'm no religious man but I wish I could believe in something better

This feeling I'm craving, my body it's breaking
I'm addicted, I'm addicted, I am addicted, I'm addicted
This life that I've been chasing, not given, I'm taking
I'm addicted, I'm addicted, I am addicted, I'm addicted

It seems this feeling isn't fading away
I still feel it burning inside of me
It's changing to grey, no breaking away from this

Nothing left to lose
'Cause I've got nothing left to lose
Still rising and I'm still standing under the eagle
Nothing left to lose
'Cause I've got nothing left to lose
Still grinding, God I'm still standing under the eagle

This fire, my 'cause
I am the weight that waits for my pause
No time to wait for the signs, preparing to fly gotta make this mine
Lighting up the dream machine
Breathing deep and hold it in
Duplicity, mind games
You're moving on I'm turning to grey
You're moving on I'm turning to grey

This feeling I'm craving, my body it's breaking
I'm addicted, I'm addicted, I am addicted, I'm addicted
This life that I've been chasing, not given, I'm taking
I'm addicted, I'm addicted, I am addicted, I'm addicted

It seems this feeling isn't fading away
I still feel it burning inside of me
It's changing to grey, no breaking away from this

Nothing left to lose
'Cause I've got nothing left to lose
Still rising and I'm still standing under the eagle
Nothing left to lose
'Cause I've got nothing left to lose
Still grinding, God I'm still standing under the eagle

Nothing left to lose
Nothing left to lose

This feeling I'm craving, my body it's breaking
I'm addicted, I'm addicted, I am addicted, I'm addicted
This life that I've been chasing, not given, I'm taking
I'm addicted, I'm addicted, I am addicted, I'm addicted

It seems this feeling isn't fading away
I still feel it burning inside of me
It's changing to grey, no breaking away from this

Nothing left to lose
'Cause I've got nothing left to lose
Still rising and I'm still standing under the eagle
Nothing left to lose
'Cause I've got nothing left to lose
Still grinding, God I'm still standing under the eagle

9. Paths Winding

Sun gleams on what should've been
Lighting up sights I should've seen
Shouting back you can't hear me calling
Life has been spent watching you falling

And as I get older the embers getting always colder
Youth is forging boulders and climbing up upon my shoulders

I'm blind, can't somebody see, this light that's shining for me?
My verse I to thee bequeath, I'm just renting this air that I breathe

Memories in a cigarettes haze
See those dreams we used to chase
Further back the greener the grass is
Look at life through rose-tinted glasses

And as I get older the embers getting always colder
Youth is forging boulders and climbing up upon my shoulders

I'm blind, can't somebody see, this light that's shining for me?
My verse I to thee bequeath, I'm just renting this air that I breathe

10. Hurt Like You've Never Been Loved

Sun is lost!
Every night!

Sun is lost every night to darkness
Ebony skies conceal every noxious tryst

She sucks the life out of me, the devil's on her knees
She'll make you hurt like you've never been loved
Love like you're going to live forever

She sucks the life out of me, the devil's on her knees
She'll make you hurt like you've never been loved
Love like you're going to live forever

Sun is lost!
Every night!

Sun is lost every night to darkness
Ebony skies conceal every noxious tryst

She sucks the life out of me, the devil's on her knees
She'll make you hurt like you've never been loved
She'll make you hurt like you've never been loved
Hurt like you've never been loved
Hurt like you've never been loved
Hurt like you've never been loved

She sucks the life out of me, the devil's on her knees
She'll make you hurt like you've never been loved
Love like you're going to live forever

She sucks the life out of me, the devil's on her knees
She'll make you hurt
She'll make you hurt… just like me

She'll be the death of me
She'll be the death of me, I've come undone
God bless all her bastard sons
For we are those who won't repent
Led by the blind and arrogant
Pain just strengthens my resolve
This two-faced liar's getting old
Reaper watching with intent
Come forth and silence my descent

11. Back To Where I Belong

Fading away, right back to where I belong
Savour today, tomorrow the money's gone
You know I made it? Singing all my songs I got so far
But now I've faded right back to where I belong

My back is breaking, my mind disintegrating
My soul is smothered by sin (smothered by sin)
Death is debating, devil is adjudicating
God knows the trouble I'm in (God knows the trouble I'm in)

Spare me some change so I can sedate myself
Spare me the same stories about my health
Time's never wasted when you're wasted all the time
Remember that one?
Back to where I belong

Fading away back to where I belong
Our soul resides back on those boundless songs

My back is breaking, my mind disintegrating
My soul is smothered by sin (smothered by sin)
Death is debating, devil is adjudicating
God knows the trouble I'm in (God knows the trouble I'm in)

You know I made it? Singing all my songs I got so far
But now I've faded, right back to where I belong

12. Break The Skies

He dreams achievements but never aspired to be best
Just make his mark and then he'll give it a rest
So he's picking up his game 'cause he knows he'll find a way
Worry about tomorrow when tomorrow is today

'Cause he paints the walls with the noise he loves
In spite of everything, it's just not good enough
Because he paints the walls with the noise he loves
Sorry it's game over, no just wasn't good enough! Done

Come tomorrow we'll learn to fly
Breaking our space in the skies

Come tomorrow we'll learn to fly
Breaking our space in the skies

Toe to toes with heroes so you'd think that he's made it
Just made this hunger worse 'cause now he can't taste it
'Cause there's possibility he's lost in this fiction
It's not a hobby but a fucking addiction

'Cause he paints the walls with the noise he loves
In spite of everything, it's just not good enough
Because he paints the walls with the noise he loves
No this isn't over until I say that I'm done! We're singing

Come tomorrow we'll learn to fly
Breaking our space in the skies

Come tomorrow we'll learn to fly
Breaking our space in the skies

Come tomorrow
Learn to fly
Break our space
In the skies

Come tomorrow
Learn to fly
Break our space
In the skies

Come tomorrow
Learn to fly
Break our space
In the skies

We can feel fly, send us into the skies
We can feel fly, send us into the skies
We can feel fly, send us into the skies
We can feel fly, send us into the skies
