Bad Soul (One False Step) 04:11
lyrics
buy track
I know that I'm a mess because Everyone I know they tell me That I need to get a grip And I'm moving way too slow And honey now I've got to leave you here Cos' I got way too much soul I know that anything you love It don't come easily at all I get it I feel like I've been asleep Like I've been stuck in the deep I watch you run around and see it all come down I feel like I've been asleep So I wanna wake the world and show em what I've got Truth is that you're never lost One false step You lose your grip So many miles gone How could I wait so long? I won't let it come to this How could I be so blind? Why didn't I recognize? I know I know Now that I've been holding Wearing myself thin with waiting Promised I'll be better off If only I can take the beating Now I'm on my knees in fear But I know that can be so misleading Anything you love it don't Come easily at all believe I feel like I've been asleep Like I've been stuck in the deep I watch you run around and see it all come down I feel like I've been asleep So I wanna wake the world and show em what I've got Truth is that you're never lost Don't know who I am Or who I want to be Your blood is on my hands And it might break me I don't know where I stand I don't know who you see I want to take a chance Even if it kills me One false step You lose your grip So many miles gone How could I wait so long? I won't let it come to this How could I be so blind? Why didn't I recognize? There's never gonna be enough time I never want to see it unwind I'm never gonna feel more fine Let it go don't let it define One false step You lose your grip So many miles gone How could I wait so long? All this time Wasted on empty lies I wake up from a dream where I Am never gonna make it out alive One false step You lose your grip So many miles gone How could I wait so long? I won't let it come to this How could I be so blind? Why didn't I recognize? There's never gonna be enough time I never want to see it unwind I'm never gonna feel more fine Let it go don't let it define One false step You lose your grip So many miles gone How could I wait so long?

Can't Hold Back (I've Got This Feeling) 02:41
lyrics

I’ve got this feeling You keep my name in your mouth And even in drought I’m providing you with sustenance And even in my absence mine My name gives you balance Providing you with everything And you know You’ve gotta let it go I set it on fire I said it’s over I set it on fire You’ve got a lot to deny And I can’t control myself I’ve got this feeling I’ve got this feeling yeah I’ve got this feeling One I can’t hold back I’ve got this feeling I’ve got this feeling yeah I’ve got this feeling One I can’t hold You think got away (I’m always watching you) You’re picture on my display (I’m always watching you) We break away as we bow Our hands and our heads Giving our will to the moment But even in your absence I feel balanced and You’ve got this weight You’re keeping so close You’ve just got to let it go I’ve got this feeling I’ve got this feeling yeah I’ve got this feeling One I can’t hold back I’ve got this feeling I’ve got this feeling yeah I’ve got this feeling One I can’t hold You think got away You’re picture on my display You think got away (I’m always watching you) You’re picture on my display (I’m always watching you) I’ve got this feeling I’ve got this feeling yeah I’ve got this feeling One I can’t hold back I’ve got this feeling I’ve got this feeling yeah I’ve got this feeling One I can’t hold Back to where you came from I’m done

When do we decide to Calibrate or misuse you I’m state of the art But falling apart A failure to understand Machine in the dark I’m losing me spark And baby I can’t pretend I waited for your call But it never came 
And now I’m looking for your love I heard you all deny And never show me how to be alive I don’t wanna have to beg come on I don’t wanna have plead no more I just wanted you to be yourself This week you put me through hell When do we decide to Calibrate or misuse you (Hold it over my head) I feel it tonight I’m losing sight I see us going nowhere I’m standing outside I’m losing my mind So come on and let me in I waited for your call But it never came 
And now I’m looking for your love I heard you all deny And never show me how to be alive I don’t wanna have to beg come on I don’t wanna have plead no more I just wanted you to be yourself This week you put me through hell When do we decide to Calibrate or misuse you (Hold it over my head) And let me in Let me in Don’t know what to do about it Feeling so confused without it I waited for your call But it never came 
And now I’m looking for your love I heard you all deny And never show me how to be alive I don’t wanna have to beg come on I don’t wanna have plead no more I just wanted you to be yourself This week you put me through hell When do we decide to Calibrate or misuse you (Hold it over my head)

My soul on fire My burning desire Alive but my fear Has kept me cold and uninspired I walk right by you But you never turn your head (Never turn your head) I see your eyes move (And can’t deny) There were things unsaid oh no But the nights not over (I won’t leave until I get your name) I walk toward (I can’t win until I play the game) She gets closer (But you tell me we’re all the same) It’s all over (Would it change if you heard me say) I will treat you girl If you give me time tonight (All of the night) Ditch these other guys And I’ll show you how it feels to fly (All of the night) Time moves in tight grooves As I lie in wait for it (Lie in wait for it) When I make my move (Then you can’t deny) That you don’t see it But the nights not over (I won’t leave until I get your name) I walk toward (I can’t win until I play the game) She gets closer (But you tell me we’re all the same) It’s all over (Would it change if you heard me say) I will treat you girl If you give me time tonight (All of the night) Ditch these other guys And I’ll show you how it feels to fly (All of the night) All my life I’ve been searching All my life I’ve been searching for you My soul on fire My burning desire I will treat you girl If you give me time tonight Ditch these other guys And I’ll show you how it feels to fly I will treat you girl If you give me time tonight (All of the night) Ditch these other guys And I’ll show you how it feels to fly (All of the night)

Somewhere strugglin’ I think that I’m in trouble and You’re gonna let me down I wanted nothing from You but I couldn’t run And now I’ve hit the ground So when the dark comes And I can’t believe There’s a light out there Searching for me I gotta get out Gotta get you away From my life I’ve tried Is misery Every time I walk away It never lasts long Every time I make a change It never lasts long Thoughts of you they fill my mind I’m too scared to live my life I won’t let you crawl inside again no no It’s really over It’s really over It’s really over This really This really hurts Somewhere wonderin’ If this night will ever end And I won’t feel so down I still want nothing from You but I’ll never run Until I’m off the ground Every time I walk away It never lasts long Every time I make a change It never lasts long You come back again The feeling’s too strong I tried to hide You cut the lights Thoughts of you they fill my mind I’m too scared to live my life I won’t let you crawl inside again no no It’s really over It’s really over It’s really over This really This really hurts You know it’s over When I discover it My only cover To be irrelevant So when the dark comes And I can’t believe There’s a light out there Searching for me I gotta get out Gotta get you away From my life I’ve tried Is misery Somewhere strugglin’ I think that I’m in trouble and Thoughts of you they fill my mind I’m too scared to live my life I won’t let you crawl inside again no no It’s really over It’s really over It’s really over This really This really hurts

Your little dress has got me so out of breathe Just got a glimpse and I’m starting to sweat yeah I catch your eyes from across the room You want it bad you’ve just got to make a move so come Kiss my lips like you’ve got nothin’ else Just you and me sharin’ our health Let me take you home tonight Let me take you home tonight You’ve got this energy that I can’t deny I can’t stand it I’ve gotta try and Turn you on that’s all I want Makes my body sing the way she’s movin’ on the floor My blood is pumping harder and I wanna see more yeah Feelin’ like a landmine and I’m about to blow Just pull my trigger baby and we can explode so come Kiss my lips like you’ve got nothin’ else Just you and me sharin’ our health Let me take you home tonight Let me take you home tonight You’ve got this energy that I can’t deny I can’t stand it I’ve gotta try and turn it up This aggression multiplying my obsession Satisfying cravings present words becoming obsolescent Like waves we’re crashing onto the shores of safety I want nothin’ more than to call you my baby Up all night no end in sight Up all night no end in sight we’re We’re getting closer Getting closer Getting closer to ecstasy Let me take you home tonight Let me take you home tonight You’ve got this energy that I can’t deny I can’t stand it I’ve gotta try and turn it up This aggression multiplying my obsession Satisfying cravings present words becoming obsolescent Like waves we’re crashing onto the shores of safety I want nothin’ more than to call you my baby

Peace of Mind 03:20

I lied to you I know there’s something 
You don’t want me to know I can’t let go So now I’m lost and found And woke up down the shore Forgive me for the lies I’ve told I’m losing all control Now you won’t come down from your high horse In the dark Where it starts I lied to you I know there’s something You don’t want me to know I can’t let go So now I’m overwhelmed And I can tell the truth is too much for you Come back to me you’re everything I need Now you’re gone and I can not see In the dark Where it starts I know where you keep it Locked up in secret So I break in and take it and change your mind And I don’t want your disease to spread I can never believe in it Don’t you wanna be free again I was trying to save you I lied to you I know there’s something You don’t want me to know I can’t let go Now you launch yourself off the deep end That’s when you think the dream ends And my original sin against you I can’t lie again I lied to you I know there’s something You don’t want me to know I can’t let go

You cry my name at night I shake your frame inside You know you can never escape You can feel it You cast the blame I hide I’m everything inside You know I’m there with every whisper In your ear The hammer falls again I wonder where we stand Or if it ever ends It’s all I ever… Got me where you want me now You better nail it down When I’m afraid you win I hold the shame within my body Your body is cutting through the silence When my bones break you win You put the blade within my body Your body is colored red and violent You drag the lake and find A body left behind You cross the line and finally break From this feelin’ Our paths align tonight We might under the lights And all the sights are there and gone A whisper now The hammer falls again I wonder where we stand Or if it ever ends It’s all I ever… Got me where you want me now You better nail it down When I’m afraid you win I hold the shame within my body Your body is cutting through the silence When my bones break you win You put the blade within my body Your body is colored red and violent You cry my name at night I shake your frame inside You know you can never escape You can feel it You cast the blame I hide I’m everything inside You know I’m there with every whisper In your ear

I’m in your very breath I’m everything you see I’m there with every word That your wicked tongue will speak You’ve got a fleeting chance A false security I’ll find you anywhere That you try and hide from me When will you see they’ve got their hold on me My life’s a battle but I’m fragile and I’m losing belief Cos my world is a pyre and my body’s on fire When I burn alive tonight say goodbye for life Surrender love Surrender love Oh I just don’t feel it tonight Surrender love Surrender love Oh I just can’t seem to get it right Open your mind And you will find A thought refined That is sublime Open you eyes And see the light You’ll be alright In no time When will you see they’ve got their hold on me My life’s a battle but I’m fragile and I’m losing belief Cos my world is a pyre and my body’s on fire When I burn alive tonight say goodbye for life Your words are wasted breath An anchor to my chest I bear my cross the curse is wrought From all these things I did Surrender love Surrender love Oh I just don’t feel it tonight Surrender love Surrender love Oh I just can’t seem to get it right Open your mind And you will find A thought refined That is sublime Open you eyes And see the light You’ll be alright In no time
