You’ve always had a way with destiny It’s like you could’ve shaped it into setting yourself free But you left it all to me I watched you grow to hold on, on your own The pieces that you fit in they no longer have the hold And it’s forcing you to go I’ll go, I'll go, I'll go So would you let me sing to you in code? The words are just to painful to recite the way they’re told But I want you still to know I know, I know, I know Your body left behind that foggy night I’m clinging to your breathing I don’t want to feel it fight You will always be my light You will always be my saint No, your thoughts won’t leave my mind We will always be aligned

Good Wolf 05:00

Hold on, I need to get this all out and make things straight A good wolf doesn’t need to dress like sheep and go out late But here you are The runaway You built our house I hope you stay Show me the true colour of the skin you wear underneath The fur you're putting on, it does the perfect job to hide those teeth Your teeth sink in Won’t run away Tied up tight For you I’ll stay Let’s get it all out Let’s get it straight It’s what it’s all about You’re the good wolf Hold on I need to get this all out and make things straight A good wolf doesn’t need to dress like sheep and go out late Hold on I need to get this all out and make things straight Make things straight Make things straight A good wolf always likes to dress up nice, and she goes out late ...Goes out late ...Goes out late Hold on I need to get this all out and make things straight Make things straight Make things straight A good wolf always likes to dress up nice, and she goes out late ...Goes out late ...Goes out late

The cold air lies a calm to see I know I’ve been so out of your reach You walked right out of a perfect dream Still I wrong you over the simple things Your love, you get me from page to page Now I’m longing for how your kisses taste I’d waited for our paragraph together Like I’d never felt your lips on mine before The cold air lies this calm to see You’re deserving so much more than you give to me The truth is that I’ve done you so wrong I’ll tell you but I’ve waited so long... Listen closer Now now, woah-o Listen closer Now now, woah-o You’re all I need This love can’t be just another read...

Spiralling 04:01
lyrics

Back up against the wall The feeling of your heart is beating me up and I stall So please, just let me rephrase I'm living with ghosts in my head and they won't go away; I'm sorry Tell me you're ready It's harder to see your face I tried to forget it In order to leave this place Bend me out of control The faster I fall is the answer to pass through your soul Wait, I don't know what I need I'm spiralling down but around you I feel like I breathe, slowly Tell me you're ready It's harder to see your face I tried to forget it In order to leave this place Tell me you’re ready It’s harder to see your face I tried to forget it In order to leave this place

Fortune 05:21
lyrics

Misfortune is the name for how I feel today This long and stormy trail keeps on winding into hell Hail through the rain Will I make it through the day? The desert wind is high Your perfect skin shines This spell, it holds me tight O, will I survive? Your fortune in my hand Without it I can’t win Sing me into grace with that smile and that face Are better days ahead? ‘Cause it’s sure feeling like the end This spell, it holds me tight O, will I survive? Is there any good hope? Your fortune will lend me a hand when needed most ...As I dredge on ahead An ode I never heard but I knew it all by heart Your voice says the words and you sing me that perfect song The desert beauty shines I can see it in your eyes

Dead To Me 04:07

You think that heaven’s going to save you Here’s news, your god is dead Alone and in your bed You cry for someone to obey you Dig deep inside their head Scrape out the words you said You are dead to me now You can’t take it back I can’t shake these bullets off me You are dead to me now You can’t take it back I can’t shake these bullets off me I’d lie if I said that I missed you What’s done is buried deep These scars for me to keep I’m not just something to hold on to Just let your memories fade Alone, your bed is made You are dead to me now You can’t take it back I can’t shake these bullets off me You are dead to me now You can’t take it back I can’t shake these bullets off me You sit above it all I meant the things I’ve said Don’t lose this feeling yet You sit above it all Don’t lose this feeling yet Alone and in your bed I meant the things I’ve said Alone and in your bed Don’t lose this feeling yet I meant every word I said, yeah You are dead to me now You can’t take it back I can’t shake these bullets off me You are dead to me now You can’t take it back I can’t shake these bullets off me You are dead to me now You can’t take it back I can’t shake these bullets off me You are dead to me now You can't take it back Don't point your gun at me..

Every night I feel I’m losing my mind When you’re gone I can’t sleep Every night I feel I’m losing my mind So just breathe... And every time I feel I’m closing my eyes, it haunts me You get to me When you needed me the most have I been your light? In the dark you’ll find me ‘Cause every light that chases through my door at night.. Is it really you who’s coming home? This landscape is a desert scene There’s fun in the haze Needless to say that you and I We don’t like to keep it tame All the bad choices that we made this time I can’t stand to be away ‘Cause every light that chases through my door at night Is it really you who’s coming home? This poison tale takes us for a ride There’s love in the haze Needless to say that you and I We don’t like to keep it tame

What Do You Think Of Me Now? 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Now the clock is wrong, we sing along to songs that we know With the windows down, we’re leaving town through highways of snow And I can understand the fear you had, but you chose to leave So we made the pact not to look back, but you were naive How did you know love was fading when time wasn’t changing? How did you know? How did you know? Yeah, the clock is wrong the nights are long when you want to leave So I stay awake and drink my weight ‘til I fall asleep And when the pain is gone I’ll move along to someone you know And if they try their best with some success I won’t feel alone How did you know love was fading when time wasn’t changing? My heart needs persuading when I’m running on empty What do you think of me now? Ooo, I’m okay with you just leaving... And I’m sure you had your reasons, babe But you promised love you couldn’t keep [What do you think of me now?] Ooo, it’s too late Burned in the path of your reckless love I guess I should've always known... How did you know? How did you know love was fading when time wasn’t changing? My heart needs persuading when I’m running on empty What do you think of me now? How did you know love was fading when time wasn’t changing? My heart needs persuading when I’m running out...

Bitter Sweet 05:07
lyrics

I’m not trying to make air tonight weigh on more heavy The room lights up, my phone, why are you texting? I know all your words you use to lasso and untie me I’d be taken back but you play your hand just like that Just like that.. While the world’s on fire your words are fine here I like the way the moon reflects off you, your skin and onto mine The sun starts to set, all I think of is... “It’s about damn time” ..It’s about damn time Like a new town glow in someone else’s headlights Your body moves to the flowing twilight Slow it down, enjoy a smoother grind I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like it I like it.. I’m going down, down, down as of lately Get me higher than the moon Feeling this weird state It’s so bitter sweet I’m going down, down, down as of lately Getting higher than the moon Get in that new taste of lemonade honey ..Of lemonade honey An old town rolling out of someone’s sight line Your body moves from the flowing twilight Driving on Something new by light I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss it You’re my forever glow In someone else’s light I’ll miss your body in the flowing twilight I guess I’ll slow it down, down Enjoy the lonely nights I won’t fool myself, no You’ve never been my light You’ve never been my light..
