I Need You 03:31
I'm standing alone Lost in indecisions Lost my mind Can't see my inner visions I'm all on my own My only repetition Is bowing my head I can't find a way Don't know where to start We never been apart For more than two moments at a time Time Time I'm leaving now Ohh things are slowing down I don't where to go Behind I leave my heart I need you More than you know Hiding behind ghosts Chasing the shadows Cos I want you Give love a second chance Playing the numbers I deal a fair hand Its been a long time But I didn't see it coming Too many chances Too scared of running I'm a slave to convention And a fear of the heart Seen all the bad things Don't want them near me I need you More than you know Hiding behind ghosts Chasing the shadows Cos I want you Give love a second chance Playing the numbers I deal a fair hand A new dawn A new day A new world A new way Life moves in a funny way So why delay Heartache decisions Deep inner visions Better wake up Cos there's only one way I need you More than you know Hiding behind ghosts Chasing the shadows Cos I want you Give love a second chance Playing the numbers Deal a fair hand Cos I need you More than you know Hiding behind ghosts Chasing the shadows Cos I want you Give love a second chance Playing the numbers Deal a fair hand…

Headspace 04:39
I was a man from a boy, no toys no Disney No guidance in my life learning from the misery Looking for a role someone to walk with me Life was a challenge it was all to new to me But if felt so old for me - I was free to roam with no dreams of my legacy Taught to neglect psychological leprosy Born with a debt no interest, no equity I didn't think I was born on the earth to believe I didn't think I was worth more than worthless Born with a curse so I curse this A sad way of life and living trying to be alive in the trap that was trapping Neglected not thriving, growing while surviving Think back to those days On the streets of the city we razed like hell Street wise with our pride other side of the line Still finding our ways we refuse to loose We bruise we heal we begged and steal In a blink of an eye cos we need to break the seal Break the iron ceiling happiness and healing humble and forgiving now I think I'm winning Now I think I've been forgiven Don't think I'm sinking No shallow understanding under thinking Don't hesitate no blinking Cos you find your headspace Always in the shadows of the lives of others Those who paint pictures of their fathers and mother's Showing me snaps of their holidays Hoping there would be better days Belly laughs and take aways Supportive hearts and gently raised But I always felt the blaze of the fire Closed my eyes and imagined my desire And opened them again and I know I can't pretend I need a better friend I need a better family I need a different plan I have to understand me I got no time to lose Had to learn in life is the future life that we chose Prepare to move obstacles See beyond the optical Writing new chronicles Thinking of escape Thinking chronological Feel my own instinct be my own oracle  Living in my headspace Am I in the wrong place Wrong Place Fighting with the atmosphere I feel it disconnecting me Living in my headspace Am I in the wrong place Fighting with the atmosphere I feel it disconnecting me Fighting in a world where no-one cares To listen in I need a guide light Fed up of this daily flight I'll let karma disarm you we don't live right When it was all strange I felt the danger the the stranger Felt a bit deranged only wish I could be braver Knew I had to change Be patient be stronger I was going under Roar of the thunder No one left to blame no strength to surrender Had to choose my life and I choose forever Im in full bloom why your gloom make your soul go Vibe is exploding in my Jet flow Move out the way because its time to move your toes Moving sub-par will leave you comatose Hypnotised, wrong time lost race Only born in this world to be replaced or misplaced I brace make haste don't wanna feel the ground in the space race Things were all strange and mixed up when I was a young man There was no joy, riding on the gun run There was fear in my veins so scared I was acting dumb Be too clever wasn't smart so you get done So I learnt to shut my mouth I was looking down from up when things were going south I knew a few things cos I know what its about I must be prepared to fall on my sword Be true to myself Be true to my word Why should I trust when they speak the absurd I need to sharpen up I won't be deterred Carve my headspace Cos I find my own outta space Equit the accused - gonna quit case Life that choose Gonna embrace Interstellar new galactic I be outta here I'm going atmospheric in the atmosphere Fighting with the atmosphere I feel it disconnecting me

Why you wake me when I was sleeping? I was in a dream Why you wake me when I was sleeping Things were so serene I was lying here In another world. With you. Why you wake me when I was sleeping? All the pain was gone Gone (Gone) Gone (Gone) Why you test me when I was speaking? I told you, things won't be the same Why you offer me the world? Then leave me alone again? This my destiny I know I need you you Do you need me? This my destiny I know I need you When you could be so cruel You could be so cruel (Cruel) You could be so cruel (Cruel) Dreams stay with you forever While the truths They fade away I wish I could keep on dreaming For the rest Of my days This my destiny I know I need you you Do you need me? This my destiny I know I need you When you could be so cruel You could be so cruel (Cruel) You could be so cruel (Cruel) You could be so cruel

What you looking at? Do you see it? Do you feel it? Do you see it gushing out of me? What you looking at? Do you fear it? Do you see it? Do you feel it gushing out of me? What you looking at? Can you feel the light? I go towards it can you feel me in my flight? See it gushing out of me see the man's free Look into my eyes and feel it gushing out of me? Chasing shadows but I'm feeling fit I know I'm sinking but I still have grit They say I'm floored and I'm not perfect But I'm content so I live with it Waves are made from waterfalls Come take the stage - come and see it all See it gushing out of me? See it gushing out of me? So demonised I believed the fear So self-despised that I could not get near I kept on climbing in this atmosphere Climbing so high so I disappear I'll be flying high you see Come feel me in my energy Feel it gushing out of me? See it gushing out of me? Me and me I playing with my life. (Cos I'm playing with my life) It's a game that I like (It's a game that I like) I'm playing with my destiny (can you handle it?) It was all for me I feel the impulse I was was feeling the buzz I leave it slow cos I'm not in a rush I go fast forward cos I know its a must This life not giving and I'm feeling it Looking for the feeling that I trust, trust, trust… My body's empty see Release my energy See it gushing out of me See it gushing out of me I playing with my life It's a game that I like I'm playing with my destiny It was all for me It was all for me It was all for me See it gushing out of me an me and me Arrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaggggggghhhhhhh Unapologetic I'm a radical I'm a cynic and a critic so I'm ready the the fall Don't believe your facts jackanory unicorn Check your own bias - Who controls your thoughts? Mental acrobatics if you listen I will talk Your searching for dramatics we'll find the space contort They save on all the addict its a mission so abort But I see stars cos on this earth this life is brought Brought for your servitude serving up your soul Work makes you free skip time no life to go Get deeper in your senses block out your inner space Cos there's more than one of you so your easily replaced I replaced the outer space in me, out of date step back Promote a new kind of alchemy No longer air I breath no longer do I breathe horizontal, vertical no in between Infinity I'm so gone I'm so gone I'm so gone I'm so strong keep on going on and on Cos I'm feel I'm gone I'm so gone Keep moving on and on and on so strong Where did it go wrong? Keep on moving on and on and on and on I'm gone, gone, gone Can't you see my man's free? Can't you feel it gushing out of me? Can you see my man's free? Can you feel it gushing out of me? Cos I'm seeing so freely Can you see it gushing out of me? Cos I feeling so steely, done…

Hear the thunder roar there will be hail again Everything is safe I'm still here my friend Never be this time so why pretend Let the truth dig deep drop your own grave Shine like a beam of light go express your rage We're all animals go leave your cage Now don't be afraid Compromise yourself your comprising me your Addicted to fear it's true if you believe it Panic dread and stress that you don't even see it Other views differ from the reality you see Remember I am you Remember you are me Remember you were born free Remember when you had a dream Cos you reap what you sow now Reap what you sow Cos you reap what you sow now Reap what you sow now Reap what you sow now You got all the choices Reap what you sow now Reap what you sow now You got all the choices Living with the choices Reap what you sow now Reap what you sow now Living with the choices You got all the choices… (Reap what you sow) (Reap what you sow) (Reap what you sow) Living with the choices you reap what you sow Compromise yourself your comprising me Addicted to fear if true if you believe it Panic dread and stress that you don't even see it Other views differ from the reality you see Feel the weather now it's grey my friend Summertime shines in my head and it never ends The earth is still green give and gather we ascend It's the start of the change Not the start of the end - it's the end of the start now Don't live in fear - It will take you down now Don't live in silence Go and make a sound now Feet on the ground Cos you got all the choices We see you - cos you need your own voices Cos you reap what you sow now Reap what you sow now Reap what you sow now You got all the choices Reap what you sow now Reap what you sow now You got all the choices Living with the choices Reap what you sow now Reap what you sow now Living with the choices You got all the choices… (Reap what you sow) (Reap what you sow) (Reap what you sow) Living with the choices Soul, Soul… Ahhh… Ahh Reap what you sow now Cos you reap what you sow now Reap what you sow now Reap what you sow now You got all the choices Reap what you sow now Reap what you sow now You got all the choices Living with your choices Reap what you sow now Reap what you sow now Living with the choices You got all the choices… (Reap what you sow) (Reap what you sow) (Reap what you sow)

Honest Girl Time Promise Dignity Moves Time Time You made it so hard To say goodbye Such a beautiful person Could have been so easy If you made me cry It's not you It's me It's a cliche I want to find myself In my own way Cos I love your heart And your personality You could have made it easy To stay for life (For life) But your not the one for me It's hard to say to to you It's hard to stay so true (So true) Just the wrong Place and time Place and time Just the wrong Place and time With you… Don't you know I Love your personality Loved the way you looked Loved the way you were nice to me Loved the way you were so free But it wasn't meant to be Now it wasn't meant to be (no no) I could have been more honest But I didn't lie I thought you saw my moves or saw it in my eyes It's so hard to tell the truth To you… Just the wrong Place and time Just the wrong Place and time It could have been easy if I met you in another world I wish I was more honest girl I wish I had more time Wish I had more promise girl Wish I had more dignity Wish I had more moves Cos I wish I met you in another universe (the universe's there's no rehearsal) I wish I had more time I wish I had more pride (I wish I had more pride) I wish I was more honest girl I wish I had more time (I wish I had more time) I wish I had more pride And I wish wish that you were My girl

Quick claim where's my back tax I had to bring my axe I don't want another relapse Quick claim where's my back tax I had to bring my axe I don't want another relapse I feel I paid my dues  I feel I learnt from the years of abuse I felt humanity through the goodness and badness (Through the goodness and badness) What can my parents say to me How can I be the real me? I had to power up heart so I can feel Make up from the damage from the darkness I felt the calmness and sadness The excitement of life makes me persist Why you say that to me? Don't you know I speak uneasy? (Don't you know I speak uneasy?) Some things you don't digest So don't try to feed me Critical sense don't sink in easily There's only one of you and me people don't into one category  Thinking Big Feeling Flat Talking This Talking That Quick claim where's my back Tax - had to bring my axe I don't wanna another relapse, lapse Thinking Big Feeling Flat Talking This Talking That Quick change where's my back Tax had to bring my Axe Feeling Big Feeling Flat Talking This Talking That I don't want another relapse, lap-sing Feeling pride acting snide Replacing inner vision feeling deep You can barely respond information overload So stay on the one track- there's only one path for you Window seat looking out - reached the peak now you nothing to shout about Filled with doubt and is anybody listening? listening, Listening, Listening You shine so bright but no one sees the glow The light has lost its energy and the shade is all so dull now dull now now now So descend don't offend yourself it is the start of the end Go down go and go tell your friends This is near the end Are you listening?

Empty No Influence No Entity I saw you did you see me? Suffocating No empathy No regrets now its part of me Next leaps and steps you made a star you see I see in you that you need me I saw it all in memories and lies The mask you wear won't hypnotise me I don't despise you Do you believe me? I grieved for you a while ago And forgave you so I could grow All that heart so warm and fragile All that love – it's so hurt so be gentle All that fades is a part of our history All that follows comes from choices that we make There's a price to pay There's a price to pay Worship yourself then your cursed Mirrors can make you look worse There's a price to pay There's a price to pay Worship yourself then your cursed Mirrors can make you look worse But take a look at yourself You demand I owe you nothing You demand too much Do I owe you something? Did I scream too much? Did I leave a scar? When I asked you things did I go too far? No human touch never dropped your guard Your hand spoke much Your tone was hard I only asked for nothing… I only wanted to live I needed you to know me.. My love for you, my love my gift I only wanted you to show me Do you forgive – cos I forgive I have to grow go find my light Because I need my soul… and its beautiful All that heart so warm and fragile All that love – it's so hurt so be gentle All that fades is a part of our history All that follows comes from choices that we make There's a price to pay There's a price to pay Worship yourself then your cursed Mirrors can make you look worse There's a price to pay There's a price to pay Worship yourself then your cursed Mirrors can make you look worse But Take a look at yourself 40 plus weeks plus a life time I'm still alive so I guess my life's fine No life nutrition in the pipeline Dodging ammunition – It's a deep dive Feel the submission – wheres my lifeline Halfway living and I'm feeling fine Fragile in my heart but I'm feeling kind The Pain built the strength in me I left the pain behind There's a price to pay There's a price to pay Worship yourself then your cursed Mirrors can make you look worse There's a price to pay There's a price to pay Worship yourself then your cursed Mirrors can make you look worse But Take a look at yourself But Take a look at yourself But Take a look at yourself I'll take at look at myself But Take a look at yourself But Take a look at yourself But Take a look at yourself I'll take at look at myself But Take a look at yourself
