Can You Hear Me When you’re so full of light And don’t know how to get by Will you hear me, hear me   When there’s a doubt in your mind Another mountain to climb Will hear me, hear me When all you’ve got is frown My friend turn it up side down Hear me, will you hear   And you know, it’s okay I’m gonna chase your demons away  All you need is to try  And you will see the world come alive   When you can’t play the part They’ll try to break your heart Will you hear me, will you hear me   When you’re sick of trying Feels like it’s all for nothing Hear me, will you hear me   When all you’ve got is frown My friend turn it up side down Hear me, will you hear   Cause when it’s all said and done To me you’re still the only one Hear me, oh hear me   And you know it’s okay Cause I can take, your breath away All you need is to try  And you will see the world come alive   When all you see is the shade On the sunniest day Will you hear me, hear me   When you can’t play the part And they try to break your heart Will you hear me, Hear me  When all you’ve got is frown My friend turn it up side down Hear me, hear me   Cause when it’s all said an done To me you’re still the only one Will you hear me, hear me

Keep Calm 03:31
Keep Calm Wake up, just another day Another day just fades away And there’s something I don’t understand There’s a voice in my head And It’s telling me, go on ahead It’s never too late to try Cause there’s a place in my head  Where we can live forever  Don't be afraid to take a chance Cause there's always a light ahead And these arms are here for shelter This may well be your only chance Keep calm, Carry on Stay strong til Tomorrow comes Understand this too shall pass Keep calm, keep calm As we ride this train in a new direction I find myself contemplating What I may find at the end of these tracks I can see me footsteps Lining up behind me But my footsteps aren’t walking alone There’s a place in my head  Where we can live forever Don't be afraid to take a chance Keep calm, Carry on Stay strong til Tomorrow comes Understand this too shall pass Keep calm, keep calm

Chrysanthemum You, you were a wild flower I remember, long ago And you would climb the orchard And Near the fires, you would go One day you took My hand and said ‘’Where can we go’’ To central park and see the birds And stay out until dark so We set about, without a doubt We’d be back But how was I to know that This day would be our last   Chrysanthemum, you who could not be found Like a flower wilting, your tears were falling down Chrysanthemum, now won’t you hear the sound Like a whisper in the wind, as your pedals hit the ground Chrysanthemum   As the night appeared And the sunset, was drawing near You followed the butterflies Flying so high in the sky, Said, don’t ever leave my sight And I called your name But no response would come my way I looked for you but in dismay I thought you’d hid away But when came the dark My whole world fell apart How could this be, that you would be  Taken so suddenly            Chrysanthemum, you who could not be found Like a flower wilting, your tears were falling down Chrysanthemum, now won’t you hear the sound Like a whisper in the wind, as your pedals hit the ground Chrysanthemum   Now I have searched For years but only, to come back Without you here with me And even after all this time I hope that one day, you’ll show a sign Cause on that dreaded fateful day A bad man came, and took you away Won’t you come back home to me   Chrysanthemum, you who could not be found Like a flower wilting, your tears were falling down Chrysanthemum, now won’t you hear the sound Like a whisper in the wind, as your pedals hit the ground Chrysanthemum

Last Man On Earth I wake up to see a world Where everybody’s telling me they’re finding cures Fighting through the process, Evolutionary need for progress I may not see the future And I may not have the answer But I live life day by day And I hope the end is far away   But there’s voice inside of me It’s screamin’ out but I can’t breathe And respectfully I can’t live this life forever I need a voice to give me shelter But I can’t hear a sound And my feet won’t leave the ground Can’t stop the world from coming down But I can turn this life around And If   If I was another Would I discover You Would be mine If I was the last man on earth Would you remember If I was another Would you be mine If I was the last man on earth   You know sometimes it’s hard, to fill the part You’ve got to take control, fight, and break the mould We’re just like satellites We, fly through the northern skies But I can find my way Or let the stars lead me astray Cause I can see the bigger picture Just close your eyes and reveal the lies   What If I can’t ease the pain Find these wings won’t fly again It’s all the same They’ll look back just to wonder If ever we could be discovered But I still can’t hear a sound With my feet stuck to the ground I know that I will not be found But I can turn this world around And if   If I was another Would I discover You Would be mine If I was the last man on earth Would you remember If I was another Would you be mine If I was the last man on earth   You know sometimes it’s hard, to fill the part You’ve got to take control, fight, and break the mould But I know it’s gonna be okay And you will wake to see a new day But I will not decline, perpetuate my climb Forever in the rhyme, and you will come to find Open your eyes to uncover That I can make this last forever

The Edge 04:19
The Edge As I look through an empty window, facing inside of me I seek a past uncertain to be forever free Cause I’m sitting on a rooftop writing my song Away from societies judging eye But of course this begs to question The motive deep inside   Close your eyes and see the edge A single moment to define We’ve all got stories to tell Another chapter is at it’s end   The curtains are drawn to reveal our scenery And with the sky on fire how do we sleep, so peacefully Cause I’ve never seen a place where, time would move so slow Trapped in a world of fiction, we cannot fight with time   Close your eyes and see the edge A single moment to define We’ve all got stories to tell A final chapter is at it’s end

Words of A Columnist I’ve found myself in exile From where I called my home They said my life/dreams was futile One they would not condone   What had I done to be Abandoned on the street so suddenly Had god forsaken me? Or was I just a victim of society   One day a wise man came my way   Walk the path that was laid beneath you Break the walls they’ve build around you Were the words of a columnist Were the words of a columnist Don’t (ever) let the fog surround you Cause your heart is there to guide you Were the words of a columnist Were the words of a columnist   Now I could understand Why they had lost their sense of what was right So now I take my stand For liberty and freedom, it's not the end Come with me, won’t you sing with me   There’s a place far away Beauty grows there everyday In the mirror, find a way Cause all our minds were led astray   On this earth we are one Erase the lines and break the norm We are a world community And these words will set us free   Walk the path that was laid beneath you Break the walls they’ve build around you Were the words of a columnist Were the words of a columnist Don’t (ever) let the fog surround you Cause your heart is there to guide you Were the words of a columnist Were the words of a columnist

Fairytales 04:27
Fairytales There was and accident on highway 101 It was the seat you chose You were the only one Never thought that this could be true We never broke our silence Standing over you   Forget the stories and the fairy tales I can see what you have shown Forget the stories and the fairy tales For you I know I'm not alone      I never thought that, this could be true How could I forget, the day that you flew As a broken spirit, lost in the distance How could you leave me now, with so much ahead   Forget the stories and the fairy tales I can see what you have shown Forget the stories and the fairy tales For you I know I'm not alone   I heard you made some friends But they all fell asleep And now your dreaming too Hey Darling, don’t let it get to you   -Chorus-

Dirtier 03:01
Dirtier These days, I’ve been drifting away, and I realized This 9 to 5, is driving me insane, like a ball and chain So I hitched a ride, straight out o’ my mind I drove up to the disco, everybody knows Put the pedal on the floor, and pump the stereo Here we go   (instrumental dance part)   I walked in, god knows where I’ve been, So I’m not Wastin’ any more time, I move up to the bar, and take out my card Said get me a round, of whatever’s hard  I get up on the floor and start to bring the moves As the bass drum is beating, and the bass is groovin’ And that’s when she looked at me from across the room With her innocent smile and sweet perfume   She said, come over here I’m gonna take you away She says, dirtier, dirtier   Come close to me I just want you to be She says, dirtier dirtier   And we got the funk I said, groovin’ on She says, dirtier dirtier   She said, come over here I’m gonna take you away She says, dirtier, dirtier   (Get close to me,  Cause we can dance till 3 She said dirtier dirtier )
10.
It's You 02:50
It’s You It's hard to know what we'll become But every day, I grow stronger  And I don't mind if it takes A life-time for us to make  A simple leap of faith  Is it so hard to imagine  It’s you I’m looking’ for And it’s you I’m fighting’ for   Some say the day, will never come But I believe, in this fire It's not about a gut feeling  Cause with you I'll have meaning And my heart will stay beating Alive and beating  You know it’s you I’m looking’ for And it’s you I’m fighting’ for

Red Rocket 03:59
Red Rocket There was a time back when we were young We would lay under the blazing sun And I could find, all the words to say that I loved you In the evening, we would fall asleep Interconnected, we would share the dream Of all the days, that we would live together Do you remember    My little red rocket flying high Up in freedom of the sky And all the letters we wrote Gone like a flash of smoke  Cause on that day, made promised I'd never forget this  My little red rocket flying high   Now years have passed, and I think day and night Of all the words, that you would whisper right But growing up, we had to pay the price So look out, look out And now the shadows, are breaking around me My bow and arrow, is set and steady I got a feeling, that you’re not far away Cause I can feel you closely   My little red rocket flying high Up in freedom of the sky And all the letters we wrote Gone like a flash of smoke  Cause on that day, made promised I'd never forget this  My little red rocket flying high   Every corner I turn I see your face in the crowd  And every day I just want to say your name out loud
12.
Questions 03:21
Questions Here I am in a different place  Still unable to embrace the change Live is a journey that takes us far And we don't know, never where we are And what is this… We all have questions We all have questions We all have questions We all have Here I am in a different place Once again I am far from all the race In the game they make us play As we run in the life race we pray But what do we know We all have questions We all have questions We all have questions We all have
13.
Human Touch 04:42
Human Touch I saw you by the overpass The one where we used to let the time pass you saw me and you looked, the other way my words never found their way to you An empty frame hangs on my wall I (can) remember when I saw it fall And in the shards of broken glass  I saw what had come to pass I need a human touch Heal Me now What happened to the days of our innocence To the days of a A life without Consequence Why couldn't all the love in our young hearts Be enough to mend these broken parts For all the things we sought to find Is it something we should just leave behind I need a human touch Heal Me now I need you human touch Heal Me now Only Human, Only Human
14.
Heartbeat 09:11
Heartbeat They say, one day, we all disappear And we fight, this life, hoping to reappear  When you find that the light is a wave  Goodbye, Goodbye Don't forget that the wheels of life  Go by, go by Will you stay here by my side  In hope, my heartbeat carries  Will you let the years go by, And hope my heartbeat carries Now you pray, and say, the end is nowhere near But this time, you'll/you will find, you can't outrun this fear Will you stay here by my side  In hope, my heartbeat carries  Will you let the years go by, And hope my heartbeat carries --spoken-- Will you find a new life leave the sorrows behind find a new light, in the night find a new hope, burning bright One of these days, we all must go  But know that you will never be alone Promise to never forget me  Let me slip away with something to believe As this world comes to an end  You'll come to see, you were always free  And If you find,the wheels of life Are rolling by, in the day and the night If you feel alive, you are alive Just feel the rain, to be the same And either way, we'll find the way To make it through, and rescue you -- Will you stay here by my side  In hope, my heartbeat carries  Will you let the years go by, And hope my heartbeat carries --spoken-- Underneath the red blood sky, you know, you know And when you see the world revolve around us, around us Can you hear the heartbeat beating loud, louder In a sea of doubt, you know the light will come to find you And if you feel the dark is breaking you, I’ll rescue you So take the risk, you’ll get through it And though I’m gone, I’ll carry on Can you feel the world revolve around us, around us Can you feel my heartbeat slowing down, slowing down -- Will you stay here by my side  In hope, my heartbeat carries  Will you let the years go by, And hope my heartbeat carries Pray the time/day that I fall to rest, Will hold, for a single moment more Will you hold me close until the end  There’s nothing more I could ask for  But the day that I fall asleep is near Perhaps then it will be clear  The night falls one day on each of us  One day the night, it will take us  Will you stay here by my side  In hope, my heartbeat carries  Will you let the years go by, And hope my heartbeat carries
