Electric 03:32
Do you really think that we’re good inside all the time? Do we really know how to survive when we’re dying inside? Sometimes I think that no one cares That today’s that day I should have stayed in bed That a dark road is the only way out With all that sh*t and all of my doubts I don’t know where I’m going I don’t know where I’m going I don’t know where but I feel electric Time is passing by and the clock is ticking in my head. It must be time to reset Do we really know how to survive When we’re dying inside? I got energy flowing in my heart Maybe now’s time to hit restart Yeah I can see what we’ve become There’s a monster inside everyone I don’t know where I’m going I don’t know where I’m going I don’t know where but I feel electric Nobody sees our time is now Can’t you see That times running out Take the good and the bad in your life Take the love don’t push it aside all the time Do you know what it takes for me to survive? All the things that I can no longer deny There’s a sense of emptiness deep inside And it’s not what I had planned in my mind I don’t know where I’m going I don’t know where I’m going I don’t know where but I feel electric

Addictions 03:54
All the shadows within are hiding deep inside me Ever since I was a kid they’ve come around to haunt me I don’t want to feel low Someday I’ll learn to let go Of all the shadows within So my world can keep turning Does it feel, the same in your shoes? To break the chains, what do you do? Does it feel the same for you? Can I slow down and turn things around? These are the times we’re living in With everything at our finger tips These are the times we’re living in And we’re all broken into pieces These addictions make me insane And temptation makes me go astray Cause my soul is burning down again These addictions make me run away These addictions make me insane And temptation makes me go astray Cause my soul is burning down again These addictions make me run away Tell me, the meaning of life It can’t be only wrong or right I’m so hard on myself Can’t take the pain somewhere else Does it feel the same in your shoes? So distracted what can I do? Does it feel the same for you? Its hard to slow down To turn things around These are the times we’re living in With everything at our finger tips These are the times we’re living in And we’re all broken into pieces These addictions make me insane And temptation makes me go astray Cause my soul is burning down again These addictions make me run away These addictions make me insane And temptation makes me go astray Cause my soul is burning down again These addictions make me run away When things are broken it’s time for a new day Look up to the blue sky get it out of your mind When things are broken it’s time for a new day Look up to the blue sky get it out of your mind No no no no addictions make me run away

Why are we holding on to something with no meaning in our life? We hear so many lies Why can I hear so many noises all around me in the night? And time keeps ticking by We are one We all want the same thing A love that can find you A place you can turn to We are one We all want the same thing We want it now When it all falls apart and we're caught in the middle Who's making the decisions? Never ever gonna give in, this generation's failing When it all falls apart and we're caught in the middle Maybe one day everything will change but now we're waiting for a revolution Why, are we waiting night and day for something better to come by? We’re fed so many lies Why, do I look over my shoulder just to see what’s left behind? Taking one step at a time We are one We all want the same thing A love that can find you A place you can turn to We are one We all want the same thing We want it now When it all falls apart And we’re caught in the middle, Who’s making the decisions? Never ever ever gonna give in This generation’s failing When it all falls apart And we’re caught in the middle Maybe one day everything will change, but now we’re waiting for a revolution

Days Of Sin 04:25
She makes that money A thousand dollars all in one night On her daily journey. To the places men do what they like. What’s your latest fantasy? She can show you, now’s the time to choose. She’ll dance and make you happy. You can pay cash, your credit card won’t do No place to end - just somewhere to start Where no feelings can be torn apart Dance the way it makes him happy Talk like original sinners do Tell all the words you want to tell him The choice is yours To walk from days of sin Now her time is money A thousand dollars all in one night She looks so pretty For the men who want to fantasise And there’s no limits, there’s no time to fail She knows that one day love won’t be for sale

The world revolves around you every single time It’s plain to see your instinct tells you that you’re right But don’t you see that there is more to life than you? And that you’re hurting someone with the things you do? Sometimes it’s just about the things you do Sometimes it’s just about the things you do The years go by but nothings ever gonna change You keep on firing bullets until you have your way It’s so important only when its about you Now can’t you see you’re hurting with the things you do? Sometimes its just about the things you do Sometimes its just about the things you do I don’t want to hear about your ups and downs You’re gonna end up being lonely with a a frown So down come out and drop the pressure on me We gotta make it work no matter what you see today Sometimes its just about the things you do Sometimes its just about the things you do

Wallflower 04:18
She stands alone, Staring at the wall Won’t speak a word, says nothing at all Across the way, the boys just stare They don’t really know and they don’t really care From small things, big things grow Watching and waiting and keeping it slow Holding a light and a lonely prayer Maybe tomorrow yeah, A lonely tear, when know one's here your heart starts beating Maybe tomorrow or someday in June even a wallflower, one day will bloom Alone in his room and its a Saturday night Listening to records till the morning light Nowhere to go, nowhere to be Waiting for no-one A lonley tear, when no one's here your heart starts beating Maybe tomorrow or someday in June For even a wall flower one day will bloom Take your time it'll be just fine, so hold on When the sun is out then you'll know it's alright, so hold on
7.
Sometimes life is never just black or white I try to get by This time I am broken deep inside I try to feel alive Don't worry when I'm losing my mind It's alright these are the things that keep me up at night Don't worry when I'm losing my mind It's alright these are the things that keep me up at night Sometimes there are just so many lies I do what I can to get by Maybe I can change one day Maybe it's a crime I try to feel alive Don't worry when I'm losing my mind It's alright these are the things that keep me up at night Don't worry when I'm losing my mind It's alright these are the things that keep me up at night Shine your light on me now when I feel inside out Shine your light on me now when I feel inside out Don't worry when I'm losing my mind It's alright I know these are the things that keep me up at night Don't worry when I'm losing my mind It's alright I know these are the things that keep me up at night Shine your light on me now when I feel inside out Shine your light on me now when I feel inside out

I can hear the rain outside my window I can hear the cars speeding by Just another day but it’s gonna be slow Today Im gonna stay at home, my coffee warm and I can be alone I can leave my shoes off without a worry I can take my time n watch the world go by I can think without no distractions I’m gonna stay in bed, put my feet up and read a book instead Another day, another night I can be alone, me myself and I Another day, another night Gotta make the most of my precious time But tomorrow is a different story Gonna be another crazy day I’ll be running round with nothing to see Today I won’t look at the phone I’ve unplugged myself just to be alone Another day, another night I can be alone, me myself and I Another day, another night Gotta make the most of my precious time
9.
I was born in land far away and was brought up a different way Packed a suitcase filled with hopes and dreams just me without my family Had to say goodbye not knowing when I’d see everybody again So my dreams could become reality if I got an opportunity Not many dollars in my pocket just a will to work hard and to give it a shot Found a place to myself where the big city lights shine bright I Don’t know anybody but I’ll try and fit in If I call my family they’ll ask how it is I just need a chance to find my own way tonight Moving on miles away to build a life had to fly away Moving on to another place. Am I going nowhere? Moving on far away to build my dreams had to fly away Moving on miles away but I won’t be broken Now I know it’s hard cause nothing’s easy and loneliness is part of life I’ve been thinking of this since I was seventeen so it’s gotta be worth a try Got my first job in a factory and I know this is just a start Sometimes I know where I’d rather be when I’m I missing my dad and mum Not much money in my pocket Just dreams in my heart I gotta start from the start Now Ive made some friends and they seem to be good to me And I try so hard to be like them But sometimes I just gotta pretend So I’m not completely alone on my journey Moving on miles away to build a life had to fly away Moving on to another place. Am I going nowhere? Moving on far away to build my dreams had to fly away Moving on miles away but I won’t be broken Always knew that I would be the one to go away and try to be someone Yeah I knew that I would be the one to fly away from home Fly away miles away from home
10.
There's always too much to worry about So many things I know that we can do without No appreciation for everything we've got If we take a step back, we'll see that what we got is a lot All that useless information Going round and round inside my head And it breaks my motivation I just wanna keep the good instead But I think our time is coming Gotta change the way we're living life Because everybody's hurting And we all got scars that are deep inside Everything's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright in the end Everything's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright in the end Wo oh oh oh Wo oh oh oh In the end There's always something not going right My head hurts if I think I could be wasting my time But something tells me to face my fears I won't worry this time, no I won't shed any tears All the messy situations That I get myself in day by day Gotta use my imagination And look ahead don't turn the other way Now I found something to cling to And I know I'll no longer be upset Won't forget all the things I've been through There's no time to think about regrets Everything's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright in the end Everything's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright in the end Wo oh oh oh Wo oh oh oh In the end Time just passes by I don't know why We take for granted things we've tried And I won't cry cause Or say good bye Cause its alright in the end Everything's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright in the end Everything's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright in the end Wo oh oh oh Wo oh oh oh In the end
