Move Away 06:55
Chorus Don't move away I, want you to stay my, friend so I always feel safe, Please move away I don't want you to stay, My old friend has left and gone away. Verse 1 Life is like a film, Only with no director, Life is like a fire, but without a smoke detector, Life is like a script, written, but never performed the same, The next time you decide to roll the dice, remember that life is not a game. it’s not a game, it’s not a game Verse 2 I won't Lose my voice, I'm fighting the infection, I'm won't lose hope, that anything is going to happen, I won't lose faith, in everything I believe, I won't lose you, you won't lose me. But I guess that one day I will, find my way,

Fly 04:06
I’ve started a trend, I’ve started a trend, when will this end, when will this end, I’ve started a war, I’ve started a war, where is the shore, where is the shore, all the starts, in the sky, why are they just too high, I couldn’t reach them if I tried, that’s what they said, you will see, things aren’t always what they seem, And you will fly (8x) woah (4x) I’ve broken down, I’ve broken down, you can’t hear a sound, you can’t hear a sound, This can’t be real, This can’t be real, You don’t know how I feel, You don’t how I feel, All the stars, in the sky, they are all just too high, I couldn’t reach them, If I tried, I’ve got to push all these feelings aside, that’s what I know, that’s what I feel, don’t you realise these wounds won’t heal, they won’t heal, until I fly, and you will fly (x7) woah (x7)

Look up at the sky, It's all you have tonight, Think about your fate, Take you to a place, Where we don't understand, Where we don't want to grow, Where we don't want show, We're missing things like home, We're losing our sight, We're losing our smell, Inside a dream, That tastes like hell, But vanish from our eyes, Let fear be your shrine, You've got nothing to hide, So bring the summers lights, And I'll paint the picture, So you see clearer, This is what my life, This isn't what my life, Should look or feel like, The skies my only sign tonight, The longest summer nights, the distance in your eyes, the idea’s flooding through, together we could do, everything we wish, everything we dreamed, Now it’s not so clear, time’s pushing it seems, in this solemn place, we light with small sparks, we play guitar’s to space, we’d created art, no one really mattered, no no one at all, where is all that now? what is going on? And I'll paint the picture, So you see clearer, This is what my life, This isn't what my life, Should look or feel like, The skies my only sign tonight,

I think we need some time to just think, and make sure that our hearts don’t sink, because your hearts like no other, don’t let me suffer, why I can’t I just be with you, you know that you want it too, here is the new sound, here is the new sound, Don’t Leave me Stacey, Don’t Leave me baby, Cos the party’s just begun Well the party’s just begun woah (x6) Sit back relax keep calm enjoy the show, you know that you don’t have to go, cos now you’re mine, let yourself shine (let yourself shine), forget about all your regrets, because regrets have their benefits, it’s not the end now, this is the end now, Don’t Leave me Stacey, Don’t Leave me baby, Cos the party’s just begun Well the party’s just begun

I brake, I mend, I receive, I send, I take, I give, I lose, I win, I fall, I fly, I live, I die, I take, I create, I love, I hate, I fear, I fight, I laugh I cry, I hope, I wish, I envy, I forgive, I dream, I take, I create, Your tears, Your tears, My eyes, Swell up, And dive, Into the sadness, That swallows my madness, And takes my pride, And floods the room, In doom and gloom, A light of ray, Will drain away, My demons thoughts and crafts, But only/just for another day, We’re all the same, A poem, To spread this, A Message, Will make us, Fight more, Courageous, Care more, Outrageous, Break rules, Rebellious, But I'm thinking, Intelligence, Will keep us all afloat and help our race become infamous, For all the wrongs we did, In our time and in future, Corrected with a thought to make ourselves inferior, Losing confidence is all we have left, So save yourself from what people tell you I distress, Common sense, Pride, Hatred, Hide, From them, From my, Own thoughts, I deny! He says angrily, lost in his mind now a maze, He'll find a way through, I'll find a way, He'll find a way, Your tears, My eyes, Swell up, And dive, Into the sadness, That swallows my madness, And takes my pride, And floods the room, In doom and gloom, A light of ray, Will drain away, We’re all the same

Verse 1: I feel, Lost inside, I need, A reason why, I lost, My voice, I must, Rejoice, I must climb the highest mountains, I must venture across the sea, I must walk a thousand miles, To my very own destiny, I must spend every single day, Taking every opportunity, Its a real struggle please trust me, To get What you wish for, And What you believe, So i sit here and play this guitar, Playing through 1, 2, 3, 4 numerous bars, Hoping that one day I can touch the stars, Maybe its a fantasy, Like kids and their racing cars, But you never know (but you never know), something might show (something might show), Bridge: So keep trying keep screaming, I keep trying keep screaming, Chorus: And I keep on Dreaming, All these feelings they won't go, And I keep on playing, Until I fulfill my soul, Cos these words, are More to me, Then you'll ever know, then you’ll believe, So I keep on Dreaming, All these feelings they won't go, Verse 2: It Seems, Far away, from reach, for today, I will try, every day, to make her smile (I hope and I pray), that everyday will last forever, that her smile will always stay, on her face through the rainy weather, why’s England so special anyway, can I watch the eclipse of the sun? Can I live to an elderly age, can I watch all the vast shooting stars, until the sun comes up for another day, can I fulfill this simple dream, That will never ever go away, Is it impossible? (is it impossible) Is it all possible? (is it all possible) Bridge: So keep trying keep screaming, I keep trying keep screaming, Chorus: And I keep on Dreaming, All these feelings they won't go, And I keep on playing, Until I fulfill my soul, Cos these words, are More to me, Then you'll ever know, then you’ll believe, So I keep on Dreaming, All these feelings they won't go, Will it happen? Any time soon? NO I can’t give up, (x2) (2x) I must pursue. (x2) (2x) CHORUS AGAIN.
