I didn’t notice when the game had changed No-one told me to take all the blame mountain climbing is a daunting idea I’ve gotto go on, godda make it real Work is the answer to all of life’s Ills I’ll get a great job with my passion and skills way out of poverty so what’s not to like But if you can’t find one, you can get on your bike. Don’t stop me Five miles from everything You can’t stop me – Coz you know I’ll always win I won the first time and Ill do it again. Its in your mind I’ll be telling you when. Don’t stop me now coz I’m really inclined To start playing dirty till this contract gets signed No-one ever gets in my way If the’re found wanting there’ll be hell to pay Punish the peasants and don’t spare the whip deal with the underdogs, hold on to our grip. Don’t stop me Five miles from everything Don’t stop me Coz you know I’ll always win

New Horizons 07:28
Sometimes I need a little rock and roll In my life Feel alive to take away the pain - so insane So good I never knew how It would feel - so unreal As cool as clear blue water - finally – I can see I get up and nothing can stop me - I get down Contemplate the journey you have made As it sinks into the sun Older and wiser maybe - maybe not Coz now its time to start another one Make it great - make it fun Watchng the days go by Get back - get back in your own time ​ When are you going to do it all again The heartache ends Coz there is many a friend to be by your side Now you know what the future holds - life unfolds Don’t let it pass you by the old man’s words are in his eyes ​ Album Index

The black cloud comes And I feel so numb Action takes me further down, round and round My bleak and weary soul I dig my hole Feel so alone Redemption never comes, never will alienate my own Theres nothing anyone can do for me I had my chances and threw them all away. No point in trying, This mind will never be free My darkest days are here now and light Ill never see. You made it through the night You live another dream The scars will fade in time You'll learn from what you’ve seen Zero motivation Tears sting my eyes Knowing what I used to be, could have been The guilt that cannot try Remember emotion Now just dread and fear Guilt and paranoia all my fault Stifled by irrational fear And I know its bad. There's nothing you can do You might as well just leave now, or it might get you too You should leave me for a better life, there’s nothing here for you Break the chains and run my friend its all that you can do. You know I’ll never leave. my love is far too strong I’ll be your sentinel and wait for you as long as it takes The times have changed me Now I don’t feel so bad There’s a power inside of me, let it be I was on the way to insane Not to say I wont feel bad again But I'm living for each day that I feel fine The strength I have is easing through each day To hope and live again, that’s all that that I can pray You made it through the night You live another dream The scars will fade in time You'll learn from what you’ve seen

All the time I knew it was All the thinking should have past Now I understand where I want it to be All the dreams and fortune have come to me. If you know where you going to Opportunity knocks for you There's a chance in a million you’ll make it good It’s a double edged sword for your reward ​ No end to dreams in sight So much to learn so little time to get things started everything will be allright . never a better time to get out of this get your feet upon the wheels go far from the abyss There’s a light it comes to you Illuminate the side that’s true Karma sides its all with you You just need to know what to do- be free from the jail of your mind ​ Sometimes you need a shock Sometimes you wanna control Sometimes you need to know whats coming Sometimes its good to be old No end to dreams in sight So much to learn so little time to get things started everything will be all right never a better time to get out of this get your feet upon the wheels go far from the abyss You could energize the constitution You made yourself part of the solution Seen a lot of people that you know Watch the Watcher see the show ​ Seen a lot of people that you know Watch the Watcher see the show Seen a lot of people that you know Watch the Watcher see the show ​ Wake the dreamer make the day He always waits, he’ll always stay Simple task to stay away Moth to the flame in sirens wake You make the change you take the risk Nothing ventured all to gain The mountain features stays the same You pay the price you play the game So nothing bad’ll happen nothing matters (nothing matters) When its inane the louder chatter matters (louder matters) You godda be in your element So nothing bad’ll happen nothing matters (nothing matters) When its inane the louder chatter matters (louder matters) You godda be in your element Sometimes you need to make it never fake it always take it Always working never hurting anybody else Look after them all the time – ​ Leap of faith pre-occupation comes to you Knowledge framed in the heart of feelings true Only you and your creation There’s nothing left that you- can’t do ​ Magnification Imagination Combobulation Good vibration Captivation Contemplation A change is as good as a rest

Never get further than the written word Never get past this page All the while I’m looking for a sign to get me to the stage. lacking inspiration is the curse . Total meltdown nightmare fear I keep on trying set to fail every time the air so clear Never gonna stop never gonna stop trying eat my words I'll eat my hat silence wanders through the whirlpool Curious notions kill the cat semi conscious crawling forward time to test the water reflection distorts ripples wave but I know I oughta Piece of Mind Piece of Mind Then one day you’ll see the years have got behind you Looking back you’ll see the trail so many walked beside you Now the fog has gone the pictures getting clearer Magnify and focus so the message brings us nearer All I needed was some space to breathe Some time to think, a toe dipped in the water That’s why I needed some peace of mind Coz life1 is getting shorter - There's a line its awful sorta trapping words like snowflakes melt head is spinning going nowhere order tangles entropy glimmer of light to save the night or just a mirage once again wracked by fear the mind drives slowly every phrase destroys my Zen Peace of mind Peace of mind Then one day you’ll see the years have got behind you Looking back ill see the trail so many walked beside you Now the fog has gone the pictures getting clearer Magnify and focus so the message brings us nearer All I needed is some space to breathe Some time to think, a toe dipped in the water That’s why I needed my peace of mind Coz time is getting shorter Peace of mind Peace of mind ​

Working my way through life. godda keep on moving on Sweat and toil it’s a hard hitting life, but I guess I’ll survive until. Some might say I’m a drowning man but I’ve still got a lot to share Clutching at straws I hope for the best I’m hoping you’ll be there Soon as My ship comes in all will be good and life can begin I’ve Waited such a long long time and then just watch me climb The Mountains are high my friend and you don’t know how to climb Will you reach for the top or will you lust drop either way there’s a good chance you’ll die. Will you play the game of chance? and give the wheel a spin The devil seems to want to dance And you’re just giving in Soon as My ship comes in all will be good and life can begin I’ve Waited such a long long time and then just watch me c limb ​ Why are the days like a treadmills grind look to the future, never behind Limbs on fire, tears and pain hopeless stretch every day the same. There were so many starting guns And everyone told you when to run Your dreams checked and reeled back in Don’t overstep your mark But now the wind is changing Blow away the seeds of doubt Hope and glory comes to you Now you have worked it out Ship now on the horizon The harbour's very close I’ts time for you to make your stand As you sail beyond the coast

The days go by, direction never found Clamber up the hillside into darkness without sound Vision blurred tunnels ending in your mind Hopeless stretch repeat to task and so you are defined So much to do and so little time to find - Connection tight inside the line ​ There were so many starting guns to start the race They told you when to run to keep your place Wishing your life away, Hope against hope, you’re here to stay Wishing your life away Always waiting for the next day ​ If you don’t try then you'll never fail at all Put your headphones on and stare against the wall Shut out the world, draw down the blinds Why take a risk, your life is unassigned. ​ Wishing your life away I need to find something good to say Wishing your life away Turn all my colours into grey ​ Counting Time and interrupt The sands go up and over and out Life is fleeting passing by Your sealed lips won’t shout ​ How long have I been sitting here Ageing like a may fly The lines on my face are my heavy disgrace As I watch the years go by. ​ There's no tears from the fears from the life of the joyless man He can speak but the voice never tells of the strife of the one who ran He is cold as the stone never fears all alone in the throws of his master plan Never tries for the prize does not realise he’s in the lost soul caravan ​ And The silence falls from you Darkest shadows wrap around your searing wall of stone Your Poker face denies the truth. Tough like Glass and cold to touch Eyes like black holes in the snow Set to receive break and corrupt Understanding I cant control ​ If I push you hard enough You will Shatter on the ground You don’t know your fragile shell Was set by anger without sound. ​ Feeling like you just missed the train And I wont take that chance again Always someone there to take the blame Always someone else to play the game

So many people tell me I got a lot to learn Telling me to tow the line Or else I’ll crash and Burn Its my way or the highway Trust me I know what’s best Times are hard I godda do right Stick with me and you’ll be blessed Respect the wealth creator He’s not in it for the cash All he wants to do is help you Do you believe his trash? Keep you poor and on your knees Refuge zero hours Almost a slave he’s in control And he’s got all the power You godda take back some control Do it now before you get old They will exploit for there own ends Its up to you , they’re not your friends controllers of your world they are snakes of poison steal your hope taking your mind, your dignity don’t let them take it, set yourself free Manipulate your trusting heart Control your mind and douse your spark Agenda set controllers gain You wont remember your own name They’ll always make you take the blame They dominate the words you hear Stifle talk the lines get blurred Take away your education You cant think above your station Let the time go buy at your own cost The memories of the purpose shine To bring back hope and draw the line Reflection is a pool of light To make us strain to see the night Raise to fight another day Black hearts to turn and melt away So it feels like ya gonna win today A time of peace calm resolution The aim is clear the plan is drawn The night about to meet the dawn Raise to fight another day Black hearts to turn and melt away Away away to turn and melt away
