Let it Go 03:19
I turn away, from the cold light of day Its too much for me to bare, Shivering inside, there’s nothing else for me to do I think its time to cry So if you hear me - Let it go, No need to worry It’ll surely pass I know, I know Close my eyes - the blinds are down Wish they could shut out the sounds - inside my brain Count the time til evening comes and lays a blanket down over the sun, The time to run So if you see me - Let me go No need to worry - This will surely pass I know, I know It’s a shame that this affliction of mine, Should appear at such unexpected times, Could it maybe book a day or rescue me, Or something that requires far less energy… So if you see me come and go No need to worry It is bound to pass I know, And if you hear me Let me know No need to worry Always passes yes I know, I know…

Light of Day 03:16
I’m lost and found eternally Given to moments of clarity Touch a nerve every now & then Guess its only natural Sent to challenge me Goodness it’s a lot to carry – And I’m so damned busy Got a job to do – and I’ll see it through As the years roll by - I feel like I’m gathering a part of me hasn’t seen the light of day As the years roll by - I feel like I’m gathering a part of me hasn’t seen the light of day So it goes – keep myself in check Got road to burn, Got my courage back Sooner or later, it’ll come to me Born survivor – Naturally Why oh why did I take so long - analysing my soul Times it wasn’t right, Times it never is… All I know is I’m getting on - with a view so solid and strong My reality - for my sanity. As the years roll by - I feel like I’m gathering a part of me hasn’t seen the light of day As the years roll by - I feel like I’m gathering a part of me hasn’t seen the light of day

Hey Debonair 04:42
You call it idle conversation tilt your head to the side ever so little And your eyes they find - what they don’t find in mine I look away hoping to gain perspective and in that time you gained some traction – you crossed that line… You say – Anything goes and my heart keeps telling me no what can I say - to stop you from breaking me down Hey Debonair your polish blinds me hold-off your relentless toying, now I know, can you see me yawning You can’t catch me (cause) I won’t be falling I wonder if this one will see right through you never know and I don’t really want to my eyes they find – that they don’t like your kind Should have never listened to you could have had anything that you wanted oh no, you didn’t do that… You say – Anything goes and my heart keeps telling me no what can I say - to stop you from breaking me down Hey Debonair your polish blinds me hold-off your relentless toying now I know, can you see me yawning You can’t catch me (cause) I won’t be falling Hey Debonair

Giftbox 04:07
Noticed the tide was on the turn had a fast car and time to burn before I turned from the ocean A little something caught my eye You wouldn’t understand it, should anyone really care Was a Giftbox of oblivion, big enough to shatter any nightmare And I’ve seen a few - I’ve lived some too More than anything in the whole wide world I’ll carry on believing through Thought I’d take a little gamble, take a stroll on the sand, Cause you never know till you get there, abandon all my hopes and fears You wouldn’t understand it - Should anyone really care That giftbox of oblivion, big enough to shatter any nightmare... And I’ve seen a few - I’ve lived some too More than anything in the whole wide world I’ll carry on believing through I’ve lost - my head, and I found my heart instead But now - it’s too late, I drove a hundred miles & climbed aboard a leap of faith I’ve seen a few - I’ve lived some too More than anything in the whole wide world I’ll carry on believing through Feel a little disconcerted, let it wash over me My giftbox of oblivion, let me steal away from everything…

Charade 05:03
You know the moment when you should look away… You know you shouldn’t look you do anyway… I guess it’s just a big charade - Sometimes you refuse to play Relationships can fall apart To stay afloat you drift afar Through the up - down rounds that follow on Take your time -feed your heart I guess it’s just a big charade – c’mon now I need the space. I guess it’s just a big charade – Why you got to hesitate? So watch out – this ain’t no stroll in the park Have no doubt – gonna carry on any way If you’re wondering what to say Chances are I feel the same When the hours they turn from days to weeks two step back – ease your pain Guess it’s just a big charade - maybe we should celebrate Guess it’s just a big charade – maybe we could walk away
