Take my hand and
I’ll take away your pain
Close yours eyes, follow me and things will never be the same
I have a place to show you, a world hidden from the rest
But there’s one thing you have to do for me,
Your deepest fears you must confess
For where we are going trust is something we will need
Everything you will see and feel isn’t what it seems
So knowing what your temptations are is the only way you’ll escape……
Are you ready to enter the Land of Illusions where every road leads to heartbeak…..

Told you things Nobody knows
Thought you could fix this broken heart inside of Me

But you can’t stay to be my past’s casualty
But you can’t stay to be my past’s casualty

Find a place where you feel safe
I’m haunted by the girl in my dreams
She’s taken me to where nothings what it seems
You can’t trust what you believe
So stay away from me

Pain in your eyes I saw from the start
You pulled me in now I have to depart
Knowing my ghosts will never let me be free
Pre Bridge
But You still have a chance
Its to late for me

This maze has engulfed me for days which turned intoto years
I wish I had found you before this place exploited all my fears
We are in a fictional story
That plays in our minds
But you need to now leave me behind.

I need you to run away
Find a place where you feel safe
I’m haunted by the girl in my dreams
She’s taken me to a place where nothings what it seems

Verse 1
You could be laughing and dancing with me
When all of a sudden you fall to your knees
You start screaming as your eyes start to drown
The voices tell you I’m the enemy now
Pre-Chorus
But I wont give up on you
Coz I know what your going through
Chorus
You can tell me you hate me
That I’m the one to blame

Wouldn’t let you feel this way
But I’ll lay down beside you
Hold you close till you wake
From this nightmare inside you
That takes you far away
Verse 2
We go to see our favourite band they’re playing our song
You turn to kiss me as the crowd sings along
But then you hear everyone’s eyes reading your thoughts
Like I wrote your secrets
All over the walls
Pre-Chorus
But I wont give up on you
Coz I know what your going through
Chorus
You can tell me you hate me
That I’m the one to blame

Hold you close till you wake
From this nightmare inside you
That takes you far away

Sometimes I think its easier just leave
But I can’t stop the fight
Let this sickness take you from me
Chorus
You can tell me you hate me
That I’m the one to blame
That if I really loved you
Wouldn’t let you feel this way
But I’ll lay down beside you
Hold you close till you wake
From this nightmare inside you
That takes you far away

Verse 1.
I was always the shrub in the forest towered over by the trees,
Never could I run with the wolves or foxes,
more a wild rabbit avoiding captivity.
Never got used to being the virus nobody wanted to catch,
at the time I thought this infected wound wouldn't heal,
Looking back it was only a scratch.
Pre-chorus
Those who made me weak, break me no longer
You can strike me down it will only make me stronger.
Chorus.
Your chance is gone to be my demise
The fear is now gone from my eyes
You knocked me to the ground
Squash me down with your feet
But you didn’t win
I’m in good company
You twisted my mind until it broke
Threw punches at me from your throat
Sometimes these ghosts of my past haunt me
But then I remember
I’m in Good Company
Verse 2.
My world was like a toystore the teddy in the discount bin
With toy soldiers tryin to find me, just to again unstitch my limbs
The dolls would just stand by
And watch me be torn apart
But what should’ve I expected from girls made without a heart
Bridge (double vocal line)
Voc line 1-A
Those who made me weak break me no longer,
Strike me down it only make me stronger.
Voc line 1-B
To all the princesses that once ruled a dream but now look better beheaded
Living out the rest of their lives knowin what it's like to be rejected!
To all the piranhas that ate at me till I was empty inside,
I guess I should feel sorry that’s how their egos could survive
I may of been seen as a target with a bullseye the size of the board.
But these memories become more weak with every strum of these chords.
Those who made me weak break me no longer,
Strike me down it’ll only make me stronger
Outro Chorus
Your chance is gone to be my demise
The fear is now gone from my eyes
Knock me to the ground
Squash me down with your feet
Think you’ve won
But I’m in good company
You twisted my mind until it broke
Threw punches at me
From your throat
Sometimes these ghosts of my past still haunt me
But then I remember
I’m in GOOD COMPANY

Verse1
Male part version
I don't know you
Like I want to

To find what we had at the start
But I want to know the you
I gave my heart to
Verse 2
Female part:
I don't know you

To find us again
Coz I want to know the you
I gave my heart to
Chorus outro
But I don't know you
Like I use to
Are we wasting our time
Pretending your hearts still mine
But I don't want you to go
Coz your part of the me that I know

You Want it All

Verse 1
It started with a call in the middle of the night
Saying your your all alone
can we talk on the phone
So we talked on for hours till we had nothing to say
Then you asked me if I lived far away
So I drove to your house
Climbed the stairs to your room
Said forget this is lie
Lets turn it into a truth
Chorus
You Want it all
You want it all
But you don't want it now
You don't want
You don't want it now
Verse2
One year has pasted you kept me around
Saying our times almost now
Our times almost now
How did one year turn into 12months a year
When you knew all along the words you wanted me to hear
Three little words
You couldn't say to my face
So you wrote them all down
You wrote them all down
Chorus
You Want it all
You want it all
But you don't want it now
You don't want
You don't want it now
Bridge
You Want it all
You want it all
But you don't want it now
You took the love I hid down inside
But you don't want it now
You made me believe I was what you wanted to find
You want it all
You want it all
But you don't want it now
You don't want it now

Sleep
05:22

Verse 1
I could watch you sleep for hours
As you lay and dream
Feel the warm of your body
As you curl up to me
A words not spoken through the silence
As your heart beats with mine
The worlds now paused outside your window
As we sleep tonight
Chorus
This is not perfect
But its worth it
I needed you now like I needed you then
When we were lovers, when we were friends
Was the same
Was the same
Verse 2
I could breathe you in for hours
Makes me calm for a while
Your hair rolls softly through my fingers
As you faintly smile
Your eyes are bright but filled with sadness
Knowing your not with me
Our love exists in these four walls,
But must stop when I leave
Chorus
This is not perfect
But its worth it
I needed you now like I needed you then
When we were lovers, when we were friends
Was the same
Was the same
Bridge
I tried to ignore it
But my heart saw it
Your beautiful in the morning with your hair all a mess
When I hold your hand a drum beats in my chest
How you dance around in your party dress
All of these things make me love you that little bit more.
Chorus
You were worth it
For it not to be perfect
I love you now like I loved you then
Loved you as a lover and as a friendy
Till the end
Till the end
Till the end

wounds
06:14
|

Long ago she locked up her heart and buried her conscience alive
She turned her pain to hatred as the girl was stolen from her life
Vowing never to let anyone again hurt her she thought there was only one way to get her revenge
To use her body as a weapon
She became the pied piper to the men
Labelled the title as a heartbreaker while her heart was starting to break
Idolised like she could walk on water while feeling like she had drowned to the bottom of the lake
What was once her way of blacking out the past was now dimming the lights on her future
Becoming more isolated from the rest of the world, hunting men down just to seduce them.
How she saw herself was in the reflection of other people's eyes
As a worthless, home wrecker with no real purpose in life
She didn't pick this wound, but she chose how she'd make it heal
But instead of getting help she let this infection prolong the pain it made her feel
Long ago she locked up her heart and buried her conscience alive
She turned her pain to hatred as the girl was stolen from her life

Verse 1
You like me on the mantle piece, kept inside of a box
That way you know where I am and where I was
But secretly I've been escaping looking for where you hide my soul
Is this what you want me to feel, dead and alone
Chorus
The world was once my oyster, now I'm nothing but the sea
being blue all over with a shipwreck inside me
You pull at my nerves like I'm a puppet on your strings
Using our love to let the noose keep tightening
At least if I hang you can never again hurt me
Verse 2
When we go out in the wild with other creatures you know,
You wear your mask and lock the chain around my throat
They run up just to tell me how lucky I am to have you
If only my torture chambered life was something they knew
Bridge
There’s a time where I thought you were a dream come true
Now you haunt me in my sleep
Corrupting any memories of who I used to be
Your a lion in sheep’s clothing and I’m nothing but your prey
Blinding me with rose colored glasses manipulating me to stay
Chorus
The world was once my oyster, but these days I'm nothing but the sea
being blue all over with a shipwreck inside me
You pull at my nerves like I'm a puppet on your strings
Using our love to let the noose keep tightening
But at least if I hang you’ll never again hurt me
Outro
But I’d only tell this to my mirror
The fear of you makes me sick inside
But maybe you'll leave me, so I'll stay for another night

The Land of illusions

Verse 1.
I was a boy all but 5, with a shadow my only friend
when I drew you on the wall and forgot you were pretend
You had eyes that could hypnotize Hercules and a smile that could make the night as bright as day.
I never got over losing you, the day your image began to fade.
Pre-chorus
From then I learnt that real happiness was something to search for in life
Something I never found again to the year I was 25
when those same hypnotic eyes turned to me with a hand gesturing at mine,
With an all to familiar voice saying take it and you know you'll be fine
Chorus
Am I awake or am I asleep, am I just dreaming
Why does nothing make sense no more
have I lost everything, need someone to believe in
How are you able to re-appear bringing that 5 year old boy back to life
Why have you kept him so long? is it possible he had always been alive?
Chorus Outro
As these questions run through my mind a rush of energy runs from your lips into my veins
As you whisper in my ear Welcome to the land of Illusions,
where all roads lead to heartbreak.
But I don't know if I'm yet ready to leave the land of Illusions where every road leads to heartbreak....
Verse 2.
Through the years of your departure my only temptations were skin deep
But now you have travelled further pulsating every of my heart beats
You've taken me somewhere I wouldn't want to leave,
it feels like I would never again experience sadness or ever have to grieve
Pre-chorus
As we lay upon a cloud with our bodies intertwined
I think to myself is the keyhole out of here something I wish to find.
Chorus 2.
Am I awake or am I asleep, am I just dreaming
Why does nothing make sense no more
have I lost everything need someone to believe in
Could it be I've chosen to forget this land is nothing but fantasy,
while filling my head with contradictions, threatening my sanity
Chorus Outro
Maybe I could stay here and be in love with you, the girl I did create
But we both know that in the land of Illusions eventually every road leads to heartbreak.
Bridge.
Back in reality if our eyes ever met
I know your image would be burnt in my mind
While mine you would forget
But if this is not real your not here, how can this real pain be justified
By knowing the alternative to living in the land of lies
Here I'm the object of your affection but have I just been deceived
So you can keep another heart by persuading what I think I need.
Outro (chorus chord prog.)
Take my hand you told me and
You'd take away my pain
Close my eyes, follow you and things would never be the same
You had a place to show me, a world hidden from the rest
But there was one thing I had to do for you,
My deepest fears I did confess
For where we were going my trust was something you did need
Everything I saw and felt wasn’t what it seemed
Knowing what my temptations were was the only way I thought I could escape….
But I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to leave you and the land of Illusions where every
road leads to heart break.
