Frequency 05:17
FREQUENCY Consume in me my need for more Bodies of lies lie silent The feeling stays with you for life Empty shore, spring tide is high I feel it waiting at my door Growing the seed within the seed The seas are growing restless Waves are change Intensity Love will come in frequency From the outside looking in Looking in With your secret safe in sound Looking in

Broken 03:42
BROKEN In the space between the trees You can still see the sunshine I don’t know how I can say You’re Wrong In the space between your thoughts You never say the things that matter Now I find that I can say You’re wrong, You’re wrong Because it’s broken Broken, Broken, Broken Even though you’re out of sight You’re still holding on too tightly To the things that help you feel Alright (how do I make you feel) Alright You can’t see me, I can feel its... Broken, Broken, Broken Because its Broken Broken, Broken, Broken Because its Broken Broken, Broken, Broken Because its Broken Even when you’re out of sight You’re still holding on too tight Do the things that help you feel Help you feel alright

Sail On 06:19
SAIL ON Money talks and so does silence People don’t so I’m not surprised at the violence, yeah I try to listen ‘cause you’re talking to me Whatever I say you see right through me Sail on a midnight ocean You know that's too much You’re out of reach You’re out of touch And there you go again I try to find you but your too far way My eyes are blind from the cold light of day I need to see you so I call your name I’m in the picture but not in thame Sail on a midnight ocean You know it’s too much You’re out of reach You’re out of touch And there you go again There you go again With people watching like I’m some kind of show No understanding that I’m pointing too low I‘m moving quickly but your wind speed’s too fast It’s my destiny to always be last Sail on a midnight ocean You know that’s too much You’re out of reach You’re out of touch And there you go again There you go again Nah nah...

WIDE AWAKE IN WONDERLAND Appalled at the state of the world we all live in More about taking and hating, yeah not giving More sinning, you’re best believing There’s no reprieving insight, hard to see inside in this mess Is it hopeless, lack focus, misinformed life-chokers Institutes educated just to clone us Much like the others becoming each other You get along with the brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers, life’s twisted How some can thrive and some struggle Flash things for rich while poor need to huddle To share warmth when times is hard Empathise with those been dealt the lowest cards Harsh moments filled up with broken glass Piercing mental shards of misuse hysterics Alcoholic physical abuse that’s inherent In those impoverished. Now that’s a whole other topic... I’ve been dreaming because I can I’ve been thinking because I am I’ve been waiting ‘til I can see And now I see See into the soul of man I’m wide awake in wonderland Life is all too short to hold a grudge Need to move on passed the ones who don't show love Corruption crackers, enemy of the ransackers Both sides of the same faction, isn't it fashion To show what’s happening, operate, and listen We make fact of their fiction those politicians Us poverty stricken, this system’s sole victim What is its goal? Slave trade of the soul! I’ve been dreaming because I can I’ve been thinking because I am I’ve been waiting ‘til I can see And now I see See into the soul of man I’m wide awake in wonderland It’s easier to sympathise with suffering and pain Than all the thoughts that man could have And all that we could gain It’s easier to entertain and pander to the fool Than break it down Break it down and start again I’m wide awake in wonderland See into the soul of man I’m wide awake in wonderland

Sun 02:53
SUN She slips from the night into the light of the bar With the streetwise and the low in life Familiar faces all going nowhere She’s been there her whole life She hides, she hides away from the sun She hides, she hides Dark are the feelings that colour her heart They’re a heavy load, in a heavy world Wonders what it feels like to feel right, to feel light She’s dreamed of a life there She hides, she hides away from the sun She hides, she hides Tears in her eyes as she tries to disguise she’s alone So many lies now she’s hurting inside She hides, she hides away from the sun She hides, she hides

Free Love 04:25
There isn't much we haven't seen There isn't much we haven't done There's so much more we could have been And so much more we could've dreamed Free life, free love We are running from this moment now in time We are running from ourselves to get in line So get in line There are so many ways to fall So far as I can tell Free life, free love We are running from this moment now in time We are running from ourselves to get in line We run from being seen Hope that they won't ever find us Only love can free us from this life There are many things that we don't know So many secrets to be shown Free life, free love We are running from this moment now in time We are running from ourselves to get in line We run from being seen Hope that they won't ever find us Only love can free us from this life Free life, free love Free life, free love

Stoned 03:41
Promises made when we were young Hard words spoken, truths undone If you just say nothing you can disappear Because nothing really matters when you don’t care Taste a little then drink some more Try a bit of that because you’re not sure Help me down I’ve climbed too high But I need a little more to just get by I’m stoned Throw in more than money and you’re life’s a mess Don’t matter what you wear just get undressed Mmm… you look fine when you let down your hair Everything is easier when you learn to share Build it up now tear it down Roll another quick now pass it around All mixed up now we’re ready to go A bittersweet taste that looks like snow I’m stoned On your shoulder now don’t look back The monkey’s climbing all dressed in black Gonna lay back and enjoy the show Gonna sit back and watch her go Dance for me Dance for me Oh yes… dance for me Dance for me Ah… I’m stoned Gonna crash down, I’m not ready land Gonna crash down, I’m not ready land Gonna crash down, I’m not ready land Gonna crash down, I’m not ready land I’m stoned

BIG COUNTRY DREAM As the desert flies on the wings of doves we try To change the world from what it might become How could we do this We knew the consequences Of our own hearts In a big country dream We can sleep while the world turns In a big country dream We can fly In a big country dream We can love till the morning comes In a big country dream We can fly In a big country dream Wheels will turn underneath our heavy hearts Painful days when emptiness was part All along the waterline are people looking for a sign A lonely man, a lonely heart He will travel far In a big country dream We can sleep while the world turns In a big country dream We can fly In a big country dream We can love till the morning comes In a big country dream We can fly In a big country dream
