1.I Was Born, I Have Lived, I Will Surely Die

I was born, I have lived, I will surely die
Facing defeat I'm still holding my head up high
Been deceived into thinking that it's alright
I just needed a reason to reach for the light
Now I've opened, opened, my eyes, Now I see it
The light and I need it

There's no doubt you can yourself out if you want to
Don't turn away, don't be shy, you've got questions so do I
Every day is a chance to change the story
Don't run away, take a shot, give it everything you've got
Without pain, tell me what's the point in glory?

Yesterday just a boy now I stand a man
I'm out on the edge feathers clutched in my hand and I know
That a time will come when all is done
Nothing will remain and so it goes

There's no doubt, you can get yourself out if you want to
When you're on the edge, if the current calls you
The jump cos to fall is beneath you, don't turn away, don't be
shy
You've got questions so do I, every day is a chance to change
the story
Don't run away, take a shot, give it everything you've got
Without pain, tell me what's the point in glory'
Don't run away, don't be shy, you've got questions so do I
Without pain, tell me what's the point in glory'

It's up to most, (?)
That I have left behind,
I'm on your menstrual clothes I used to know,
At least I know where I am on my own.

I wanna be the last thing that you see,
Be my dearly departed,
Back to where you were the only thing i need,
Before i gave up,
My dearly departed,
Gave up,
My dearly departed.

Sticks and stones,
Are all that I have ever known,
I'm bruised but I'm not broken and I know,
At least I know where I am on my own.

I wanna be the last thing that you see,
Be my dearly departed,
Back to where you were the only thing i need,
Before i give up,
My dearly departed,
Give up,
My dearly departed.

Not other people, try to, can make me feel this way,
I'm glad I did my time,
I found you, I found you and try to explain the only way,
that i knew how to say.

I wanna be the last thing that you see,
Be my dearly departed,
Back to where you were the only thing i need,
Before i give up.

DOWN UNDER THE NIGHT SKY
I LAY IN WAIT
PRAYING TO WHOEVER WOULD LISTEN TO ME
I'D FASHIONED MY OWN CROSS,
BEEN CRUSHED BY IT'S WEIGHT
THERE'S NO STRONGER MESSAGE
THAN DIRT IN YOUR FACE

I'VE SEEN DOWN THE END OF THE ROAD
NOW I DEAL IN A DIFFERENT STORY
AND I WILL NEVER LET GO AGAIN
I FEEL IT IN MY BONES
I FEEL IT IN MY BONES
I'LL DO THIS ON MY OWN

THEY SAY THE SPIRIT'S WILLING
BUT THE FLESH IS ALWAYS WEAK
WELL I FOUND EVERYTHING I NEEDED RIGHT BENEATH MY SKIN

I'VE SEEN DOWN THE END OF THE ROAD
NOW I DEAL IN A DIFFERENT STORY
AND I WILL NEVER LET GO AGAIN
I FEEL IT IN MY BONES
I FEEL IT IN MY BONES
I'LL DO THIS ON MY OWN

WE'RE ALL ARCHITECTS OF OUR OWN PRIVATE HELL
NO-ONE CAN HURT US LIKE WE HURT OURSELVES

I'VE SEEN DOWN THE END OF THE ROAD
NOW I DEAL IN A DIFFERENT STORY
AND I WILL NEVER LET GO AGAIN
I FEEL IT IN MY BONES
I FEEL IT IN MY BONES
AND I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE

Hello again, my dear old friend
Is it that time again? is this the end?
The beat goes on and on, with such sweet grace
But I'm just out of time, I'm out of place

I found rebellion in self destruction
I need to find a place to lay my head

I walk then I crawl, I'm thankful to be moving at all
Considering all the places, I've been on the way
(I've been on the way)
Some people build towers, I just dig holes
On my way down again,
On my way down

Hey
On my back in the gutter and I've seen this place before,
How do you make it look so easy when the wolves are at the door?
(Wolves are at the door)
Contrition is, a bed fellow of mine, in my defense
I'm wasted the beat goes on and on and on
I couldn't stop it even if I tried

I found rebellion in self destruction
I need to find a place to lay my head

I walk then I crawl, I'm thankful to be moving at all
Considering all the places, I've been on the way
(I've been on the way)
Some people build towers, I just dig holes
On my way down again,
On my way down,
On my way back down,

I walk then I crawl, I'm thankful to be moving at all
Considering all the places, I've been on the way
(I've been on the way)

I walk then I crawl, I'm thankful to be moving at all
Considering all the places, I've been on the way

Can't Keep My Faith Held In,
Keep My Mouth Shut Anymore,
Oh It's Impossible

Where Do I Fit In,
Where No Matter Where I Stand I Still Fall,
I'm On The Outside Looking In,
Looking In

Can't Keep My Mouth Held Shut,
Keep My Tired Eyes Open Anymore
Stuck On The Outside Looking In

We All Sing The Same Old Song,
A Hymn For All I've Lost


6.You Are Not

Lyricist:Gustav WoodJohn TaylorFraser TaylorSimon MitchellBen
Jolliffe
Writer(s):Gustav WoodJohn TaylorFraser TaylorSimon MitchellBen
Jolliffe

Lonely, lonely, undefined
You say you take your time, I say you hide away
Lonely, lonely, hard to shine when they don't notice you at all
Sink further every day

You're only so lonely, and I never had a doubt,
You don't even know me, still you pass your judgement out
When you belong, you're just a face in the crowd,
You're only lonely, so lonely, like everybody else

Lonely, lonely, little fly, you say they pay no mind
I say there's no better way
You hang yourself in your own web, drawn and quartered out
The more you hurt, the more you heal, the more you'll figure out

You're only so lonely and I never had a doubt,
You don't even know me, still you pass your judgement out
When you belong, you're just a face in the crowd,
You're only lonely, so lonely, like everybody else

You are not a diamond, you are not a shining star
It doesn't mean that you're not perfect exactly as you are

You're only so lonely, and I never had a doubt,
You don't even know me, still you pass your judgement out
When you belong, you're just a face in the crowd,
You're only lonely so lonely, like everybody else

You are not a diamond,
You are not a shining star,
It doesn't mean that you're not perfect exactly as you are


7.Brother In Arms

Jolliffe

Got my head out of the window
I can taste the summer air
Hangs heavy with the promise of nights beyond compare
We start, we stop, we break and then we mend
What's a little bit of blood loss between friends

You say you don't need love, I say you ain't so tough
Come on and let me in

Brother in arms
Together we, spill our blood, on foreign streets
Worlds apart, and in too deep, my brother in arms
I wouldn't change a thing

We celebrate our sickness as it starts to spread
Cut my heart out it's not over until you take my head

You say you don't need love, I say you ain't so tough
Come on and let me in

Brother in arms
Together we, spill our blood, on foreign streets
Worlds apart, and in too deep, my brother in arms
I wouldn't change a thing

All hands on deck we live or die,
Together, together
No matter how far we fall apart,
We bleed together

My brother in arms, together we
Spill our blood on foreign streets
Brother in arms, together we
Spill our blood on foreign streets
Worlds apart, and in too deep, my brother in arms
I wouldn't change a thing

I wouldn't change a thing!


8.Learn My Lesson

Writer(s):Gustav WoodJohn TaylorFraser TaylorSimon MitchellBen
Jolliffe

I
Am a wavering candle light
I remain but I'm ever slight
Through all my years
I sit
In my room in the fading light
Righting back all my wrongs tonight
Cos I'm still here
_
Boarded up all the doors
And I swallowed all the keys
I'm still haunted by
All the things I'll never be
_
To live
Is to learn
Oh the heart's a heavy burden
So I take
I don't wait
Nothing ever is for certain
And I hold my hands up high
On my knees tonight
I'll take
Won't wait
I will live and learn my lesson here tonight
_
I
Never knew it could be so cold
But I burnt all the things I used to hold so dear
Still I fight
With my pen in my hand held tight
Writing protest songs tonight cos I'm still here
_
Boarded up all the doors
And I swallowed all the keys
I'm still haunted by
All the things I'll never be
_
To live
Is to learn
Oh the heart's a heavy burden
So I take
I don't wait
Nothing ever is for certain
And I hold my hands up high
On my knees tonight
I'll take
Won't wait
I will live and learn my lesson here tonight
_
I'll get off my knees and fight
Kick down the doors let in the light tonight
Tonight


9.Everything Ends

Lyricist:Gustav WoodJohn TaylorFraser TaylorSimon MitchellBen

Writer(s):Gustav WoodJohn TaylorFraser TaylorSimon MitchellBen
Jolliffe

I had a conversation with a dying man
He said 'son, make sure you live while you still can'
Thought I could write the rules of war and
I could swim the seas
He said 'boy, oh you know not what you have'

Now I lay on my bed waiting
Those words resound in my head
Now I remember you told me
'You'll see when everything ends'

I had a conversation with a dying man
He said 'life passes by in the blink of an eye'
Gold will rust, empires will follow
Swallowed by the sea
Do you sleep sound?
Well enjoy it while you can

Now I lay on my bed waiting
Those words resound in my head
Now I remember you told me
'You'll see when everything ends'

Here I lie, fall asleep on my death bed
I don't think they're worthless, anymore

Now I lay on my bed waiting
Those words resound in my head
Now I remember you told me
'You'll see when everything ends'

I had a conversation with a dying man
He said 'son, make sure you live while you
still can...'

Jolliffe

Yeah I need meaning
As much as I need air to fill these old lungs of mine
I didn't notice but I've been holding my breath as long as I've
been alive

The spots behind my eyes they glitter in the dark
As they get closer they illuminate their mark (woah)

Everybody stares into the headlights bearing down
But we don't care, standing in the glare
We didn't see them coming, headlights closing in

Everybody stares

Through my fingers everything was monotone and weak
Now all the colour brings me to my knees
I was so afraid of repeating myself
That I never said anything at all

The spots behind my eyes they glitter in the dark
As they get closer they illuminate their mark (woah)

Everybody stares into the headlights bearing down
But we don't care, standing in the glare
We didn't see them coming, headlights closing in

(I found you)
You give me meaning
In everything you do,
(I found you)
Now I've discovered
What I have got to do,

I'm broken and I'm bruised
I'm beaten black and blue,
Split at the seams but so are you

Woah

If you take me as I am, better and bland
I'd face the headlights, side by side with you

Headlights
Headlights
(Woah)

Headlights
Headlights
(Woah)

Headlights
Headlights
(Woah)


12.Broadfields

Lyricist:Gustav WoodJohn TaylorFraser TaylorSimon MitchellBen

Writer(s):Gustav WoodJohn TaylorFraser TaylorSimon MitchellBen
Jolliffe

I used to hear the melody
The voice in the unknown
The rhythm in the rain
Beating down my window

It's clear to me that I can see
Through each and every pane
That I grew up and I forgot
To feel that way again

I've been lost by the city, drowned by the sea
I've been up on the rooftops, still I'm caving in
You can scream bloody murder, loud as you want
I'm not listening now...

Sing me something, to bring me down
Coz I can't find anything
Like that sound
I don't need anymore
Oh
I left my heart back in the broadfields

Used to look between the fences
My hands out to the breeze
I swore that I would understand the whispers in the trees

But the older I got the more I found I lost
Now I'm run through with rot, covered in frost
I have wandered so lone
But now that I'm here I just want to go home...

Sing me something, to bring me down
Coz I can't find anything
Like that sound
I don't need anymore
Oh
I left my heart back in the broadfields

Rain, rain, rain
Carry me home
Wash away the pain, blame, shame
That I've come to know

Rain, rain, rain
Carry me home
Wash away the pain, blame, shame
That I've come to know

I think that it's time
I think that it's time
I went home...
Home...
