Devil On Your Back

A noose 'round my neck
and the trap doors creaking
my thoughts are running wild
I keep my feelings in check
just to make you feel better
but I am the selfish kind
all that I see in my subconscious dreams
your arms are open wide
as real as I seems I just take it as seen
a battle we just can't survive
the grudge that you hold has grown bitter and old over time
as your ego unfolds its the words of the wise you confide
you're the angel on my shoulder
I'm the devil on your back
that drags you down
and drives you home
and drives you home
these streets I have walked
times a thousand before
my soul is wearing thin
just my like patience and the tightrope it walks on
and anything within
it's this fire in my chest that keeps pushing me west over seas
not knowing whats next and addiction that does it for me
you're the angel on my shoulder
I'm the devil on your back
that drags you down
and drives you home
and guides you homes

Broken Wheels in Motion

when our time is running thin
and your standing on the outside
looking through the windows
on the stone cold cobble streets
will you call my name
will you call
stubborn to the core
not letting life just pass me buy
I feel my heart as it stop and starts
whilst admitting no demise
will you call my name
oh will you call
broken wheels in motion leave me rolling through the deep
as a wave of desperation crashes down on you and me
a fire inside that never dies
so strong its hard to breath
just remember
that its always on my mind
just remember
that its always on my mind
when our time is running thin
and you feel it ever growing
on the foothold
that supports you
in the light of better days
will you call my name
oh will you call
as the storm comes surging
and the fire's set to rise
do you feel your heart as it stop and starts
whilst admitting no demise
will you fall
oh will you fall
broken wheels in motion leave me rolling through the deep
I'm tired of living life portraying something I don't wanna be
a fire inside that never dies so strong it's hard to breath
just remember
its always on my mind
just remember
its always on my mind
oh me, oh me, oh me oh woe is me
my eyes can barely see through blinding shades of self absorbance
oh me, oh me, oh me oh woe is me
my eyes can barely see through blinding shades of self absorbance

I've grown sick of myself
in so many ways
until she came to me in the shape of redemption
if it's redemption you need
she said to me
then sit back and relax and let me take control
standing before me
the devil herself
with loathing and love
in body and soul
her beauty and smile
misleading at best
she spoke intentions of evil
under her breath
she said I've had many men
and it ended the same
but nothing could prepare me for that kind of pain
I had my hands tied together in the back of my car
as she drive a hundred miles an hour down to the river
she dragged me to the water and held me under
until I failed to breathe any longer
lifeless and still
with weights on my feet
could be days maybe weeks if not months till they find me
playing the victim
she cried for my safe return
but she knows I ain't coming back
she knows where I lay
yeah she knows I ain't coming back
she knows where I lay
I had my hands tied together in the back of my car
as she drive a hundred miles an hour down to the river
she dragged me to the water and held me under
until I failed to breathe any longer

The Rain

Is it over
is it over
I've been thinking things inside my head I don't wanna
is I time
is it time to face the storm head on
or run inside from the rain and the force
that drives you deeper
deeper down
have you hit rock bottom again
have you got no other place to go
no body else to call your friend
does it make you stronger in the end
does it make you stronger in the end
And we walk these endless roads
no end in site but its alright
its in our blood to roam
I walked for miles and still found nothing
walked for miles and still found nothing
one step forwards two steps back
I've been thinking unfamiliar thoughts
and its giving me a heart attack
I've been trying to catch my breath
but I can't grasp it
And we walk these endless roads
no end in site but its alright
its in our blood to roam
I walked for miles and still found nothing
walked for miles and still found nothing
