Your life is never justified / As they call for you and push you to one side / There are things you won’t contend / Fame is not for all, but merely just an end. Did you make it on your own? / I don’t feel like I belong / Did you feel like letting go? Fire and ice played in your head / Sometimes things inside are better left unsaid / Here’s something to understand / If you play along / To let them win / You’ll make it in the end. Did you make it on your own? / I don’t feel like I belong / Did you feel like letting go? Did you make it on your own? / I don’t feel like I belong / Did you feel like letting go? Did you feel like letting go? There are times to stand and choose to love or hate / And there are times you’d best not complicate / There are times for words / And times for fists / And such times in between / But who will be around to hear you scream? Did you make it on your own? / I don’t feel like I belong / Did you feel like letting go? Did you make it on your own? / I don’t feel like I belong / Did you feel like letting go? Did you make it on your own? / I don’t feel like I belong / Did you feel like letting go?

Echoes in this room Remind me of a time Of a life I shared with you This life I can’t block out Just like we did before Did you ever take it for granted Silently dragging us down How could you ever think I would stay and just take it This is all I think of you now Chance after chance How many should I give And your lies after lies How many can you live Just like you did before Did you ever take it for granted Silently dragging us down How could you ever think I would stay and just take it This is all I think of you For all those sleepless nights Your black and tainted lips For all those times of pain I’m here to spell it out I tore that photo of you My favourite picture in two Then I just set it on fire It was a beautiful sight They told me I should let go But by the end of tonight I’m gonna make it alright I’m gonna make it alright I’m gonna make me alright! Did you ever take it for granted Silently dragging us down How could I just stay here and take it This is all I think of you now I tore that photo in two

Leave This Moment (free) 03:48
lyrics

I often wondered what it’d be like to wake up from this dream / A life without love / I feel I’d miss you like some long lost energy / You make me dream. And you’re all I feel / Much more than I’ve ever wanted / Please don’t let me wake / Don’t let me leave this moment. You ask me what I believe / I can only tell you this / You make be breathe / Your touch upon my skin like breath upon the sea / You turn me around / And if I could make one wish of what this life could be / I wish you were real / Just make me feel ‘cause all / All I’m thinking of is. And you’re all I feel / Much more than I’ve ever wanted / Please don’t let me wake / Don’t let me leave this moment. ‘Cause you rise above it all / Just this light that guides my way / And you turn my head. Don’t let me / Don’t let me / Don’t let me wake up no / Don’t let me / Don’t let me / Don’t let me wake up. ‘Cause you’re all I feel / Please don’t let me wake.

Wasn’t so strange / When I was a kid / I would sit and talk alone / But as I grew up / The topics would change / To my pain and hatred. Can’t you hear them? Won’t you listen? / ‘Cause I can’t stand them / I hear voices / I’m losing my mind / They tell me secrets / I hear voices / Should I listen? / Do their bidding? / I hear voices / I hear voices / I hear voices. And when I’m alone / These spots in my eyes / Pulling triggers in my head / I try to tune out / My doctors all say / They just think I’m insane. Can’t you hear them? Won’t you listen? / ‘Cause I can’t stand them / I hear voices / I’m losing my mind / They tell me secrets / I hear voices / Should I listen? / Do their bidding? / I hear voices / I hear voices / I hear voices. They tell us to get down / They tell us to get down / They tell us to get down / They tell us to get down. Can’t you hear them? / Can’t you hear them? / Can’t you hear them? Say it again! Can’t you hear them? / Won’t you listen? / ‘Cause I can’t stand them / I hear voices I’m losing my mind / They tell me secrets / I hear voices / Should I listen? / Do their bidding? / I hear voices / I hear voices / I hear voices.

Amy's Black Dog (free) 05:06
lyrics

There’s no telling when her light stays off / Or where her mind has been / Amy just stares at the wall / Her door is closed / With latch across / So Daddy won’t get in / Her Mother drinks but she’s never home. Won’t be long before she sees the black dog / Won’t be long before she sees the black dog / I said won’t be long before she sees black dog / Amy’s a good girl / Never a bad word no / Don’t ask her things that she heard / For she’ll cry... And then no one stops to hear her talk / She says it’s getting worse / The black dog seems to follow her / And her Daddy only strike her down / For speaking out of turn / Now Amy just wants to end it all. Won’t be long before she sees the black dog / Won’t be long before she sees the black dog / I said won’t be long before she sees black dog / Amy’s a good girl / Never a bad word no / Don’t ask her things that she heard / For she’ll cry... Every single day 6 Australian men and women take their lives / Most people who hearing these statistics just turn the other way believing this was the easy way out / Truth is the decision to take any life is not an easy one to make / Their pleas for help falling on deaf ears / Because ignorance keeps breeding contempt in this country / But if it was your Brother, your Sister, your Mother, your Father, your Son or your Daughter you would do anything, everything, anything, anything, anything! See, black dog, bleed, no! See, black dog, bleed, no!

High Side Driver Melbourne, Australia

The sound is dark and powerful, and yet highly accessible, emotive and infectious at the same time, with soaring melodic lead vocals backed up by catchy riffs, inventive basslines and slamming drum beats. All underpinned by a sense of dynamics, variation and light and shade. ... more
