Dead Weight 02:44
Dead Weight Verse 1 Strike a match, light a fire, It's time to burn this up. Don’t stop fighting, Until you’ve reached the top. Pre chorus: All they do is try to hold us back, (hold us back) Give us trouble like a heart attack, (heart attack) Fuel to fire, always get burnt, Take these lessons that we’ve learnt. Chorus All they wanna do is fuck around They give it all to try and slow us down We’re overtaking them, don’t look now Once Were Lost, but baby now we’re found Verse 2 Alcohol and cigarettes, Memories fade away When life becomes a fantasy Don’t forget my name Pre chorus: All they do is try to hold us back, (hold us back) Give us trouble like a heart attack, (heart attack) Fuel to fire, always get burnt, Take these lessons that we’ve learnt. Chorus All they wanna do is fuck around They give it all to try and slow us down We’re overtaking them, don’t look now Once Were Lost, but baby now we’re found Bridge (Dead weight, too late) we’re gonna tear this down (Burning rubber,) gonna blow this town (Wheels are spinning) in the pouring rain We’re taking back our lives again Pre chorus: All they do is try to hold us back, (hold us back) Give us trouble like a heart attack, (heart attack) Fuel to fire, always get burnt, Take these lessons that we’ve learnt. Chorus All they wanna do is fuck around They give it all to try and slow us down We’re overtaking them, don’t look now Once Were Lost, but baby now we’re found

Baggage Claim Verse 1 I want to go back to where it started (You want to go back and start again) To the time that felt so simple (We didn’t seem to care) This is my time to make the changes that I want to see right now This can be overwhelming, (where can I begin) Pre Chorus This is the chance to start again (We’ll start again and do it right) Don’t make the same mistake my friend (We’ll start again) Chorus This is my ambition, I want to make it last At times it’s been a struggle, I can’t escape the past Today I see it clearly, control your own path Don’t try to hold it back now, (you’re coming back again) Verse 2 I want to go back to the beginning, (You want to back to when it’s right) To the times when we where winning, (We didn’t have to fight) I want to go back and find a time when people didn’t cut you out When we were still there for each other, (Any day or night) Pre Chorus This is the chance to start again (We’ll start again and do it right) Don’t make the same mistake again (We’ll start again) Chorus This is my ambition, I want to make it last At times it’s been a struggle, I cant escape the past Today I see it clearly, control your own path Don’t try to hold it back now, you’re coming back again) Bridge This is your chance to make it right (We’ll make it right) This is the time to stand and fight (We’ll stand and fight) So if you want to make it, this is your chance so take it It won’t be coming back again Chorus This is my ambition, I want to make it last At times it’s been a struggle, I cant escape the past Today I see it clearly, control your own path Don’t try to hold it back now, you’re coming back again

Radio Killer 03:34
Radio Killer Verse 1 Here we go again, another puppet on display Fill them with false hope, their dreams of money and fame You put them on parade, for everyone to judge them This false reality, will lead them to selling their souls Pre Chorus We are the antidote to this disease, open up your eyes don’t be a slave Chorus Hey radio, listen to the world that you created. The same old shit day after day The cookie cutters wearing out Your talent quests for the best, souls that you can control Bleeding them until their dry More about likes than talent Verse 2 Polluting the airwaves, with more generic bullshit Brainwashing consumers, to buy the things that you want them too Inspiration to the sheep, not a good role model When the well goes dry, they move along to another puppet. Pre Chorus We are the antidote to this disease, open up your eyes don’t be a slave Chorus Hey radio, listen to the world that you created. The same old shit day after day The cookie cutters wearing out Your talent quests for the best, souls that you can control Bleeding them until their dry More about likes than talent Bridge (Your slaves to the system)Contracts can be bought and sold (This false reality) is getting stale, there’s no hope for us (Trapped inside their world) they put you on display for everyone (Then they will move on) to something new, leave you with nothing Pre Chorus We are the antidote to this disease, open up your eyes don’t be a slave Clean chorus (Radio, controlling, everything that you hear We’ll take it back, show the world they have a choice) Chorus Hey radio, listen to the world that you created. The same old shit day after day The cookie cutters wearing out Your talent quests for the best, souls that you can control Bleeding them until their dry More about likes than talent More about likes than talent

Faded 02:00
Faded Verse 1 I wake up at 7am Drag myself out of bed Time to do it all again The same it old shit never ends Pre-Chorus Going through the motions Day after day Chorus I am frustrated Feeling so jaded No Stimulation In my situation Verse 2 On my own driving home Music plays on my phone Man this highway just goes on I need to sing a different song Pre-Chorus Going through the motions Day after day Chorus I am frustrated Feeling so jaded No Stimulation In my situation Bridge (Leave behind this misery) And make it all history (This is all that I have got) I have to take this one last shot (No time to stop,) No time to stare You’re not going anywhere (This time I need), to break free There’ll be nothing left of me Chorus I am frustrated Feeling so jaded No Stimulation In my situation I’m fading (whoa oh) (whoa oh oh)

Tipping Point VERSE 1 How can we exist? When all that's left is this? We have to find another way (We can’t keep going) How do we move on? Where did it all go wrong? We have destroyed our only world (there’s nothing left here) PRE CHORUS Scientists find the reason we die and the rest of us close our eyes CHORUS The world we know is dead and gone (There’s no returning) We are falling towards the light (To find some meaning) The future looks like a spinning coin (heads or tails) With our fate on either side (To live or die) VERSE 2 Ignorance is bliss and the reason is this we never looked under the bed (To see what’s hiding) monsters in our minds, we look into their eyes We find a way to make them pay (For their crimes) PRE CHORUS Scientists find the reason we die and the rest of us close our eyes CHORUS The world we know is dead and gone (there’s no returning) We are falling towards the light (To find some meaning) The future looks like a spinning coin (heads or tails) With our fate on either side (To live or die) BRIDGE Why don't we try to stay alive Listen to those with better minds accept our limits and live within them If we fight we can get out with our lives CHORUS The world we know is only young (We’ve still got time) We are walking towards the light (We found our meaning) The future looks like a spinning coin With new lives on either side, life is our prize
