Breathe
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
Descendants start to gather for your legacy
Machines to breathe can't warm your soul up endlessly
Gripping tight to say goodbye one final look
Sipping from a baby's cup Look what time took
Start to walk towards the light
Embrace the firing one last time
I can't deny in recent years we grew apart
Convince myself of favourites closer to your heart
Anything to push the guilt out of my head
Of knowing that you can't build bridges with the dead
Time to walk towards the light
Embrace the firing one last time
You will have eternity
In the last few seconds that you breathe
Can you still hear me
Time to walk towards the light
Embrace the firing one last time
You will have eternity
In the last few seconds that you breathe
You didn't change your beliefs
Even on your final scenes
You were true to yourself
It can be hard to accept
In the time you have left
There's no Heaven or Hell
You never knelt down to pray
Well, there was nothing to say
The universe can be cold
Light a way through the dark
One last home for your heart
Now you're so weak and old

The Devil Smiles.
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
The piercing light strips the sleep from my eyes and it pushes the demons away.
It's another day's drive with one more sober night well it's worth it to fix my mistakes.
It was a lifetime ago when the damage was sown I am done papering over cracks.
I'm going alone with a gun in my hand I made peace that there's no turning back.
I wear my regrets with the heart on my sleeve as they fight for control of the wheel.
They say walk away, you'll forgive and forget but I struggle to see the appeal.
If justice is something that ends in a death then I'll take it along for the ride.
This calling I own and I feel in my bones, like the terrors that haunt me each night.
In the beginning we all have a choice and a roll of the dice in our hands.
We learn over years that you hold back the tears you just shut up or you make a stand.
You've been in my blood, took a piece of my skull, made your marks in many other ways.
I catch your eye in the mirror, the liar, the sinner, the devil that's wearing this face.
And the devil smiles.
The devil smiles.
The morning had come and my grip on the gun never eased as I replayed my days.
The pain that I caused were the lessons that taught all my loved ones to just stay away.
It's easy for me if I try to believe I'm a victim in this twisted game.
last thing at night the truth can't be denied, and I know I must shoulder the blame.
Miles away from the next living soul weeks will pass maybe months till I'm found.
A bottle in hand marks the hero's last stand with the devil he had to take out.
The devil moved on he still lives in this song as he waits for the next host to take.
If your will is too weak then you may hear him speak in your ear in the most tempting way.
In the beginning we all have a choice and a roll of the dice in our hands.
We learn over years that you hold back the tears you just shut up or you make a stand.
You've been in my blood, took a piece of my skull, made your marks in many other ways.
I catch your eye in the mirror, the liar, the sinner, the devil that's wearing this face.
And the devil smiles.

You've been in my blood, took a piece of my skull, made your marks in many other ways.
I catch your eye in the mirror, the liar, the sinner, the devil that's wearing this face.
The path that we take isn't something we choose, and the roll of the dice is all rigged.
Right from the start you play your written part like the words in the songs that you sing.
But sometimes the light or the dark takes an interest, and they hitch a ride for a while.
The flicker of something you see in the mirror the curl of your lips in a smile.
And the devil smiles

Shape of the World.
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
I look out over star filled skies tonight.
Far, very far from your clouds that choke my light.
You know I’ve suffered for your art.
You still refuse to look at the stars.
So, if this is the shape of our world.
You give it away to the girl when you fall.
If this is the shape of the world.
I don’t want it anymore.
Up where Gods sacrifice the dark for light.
We used to taste all their pain feel the heat from the fight.
Lines are drawn as we try to end this game.
All you will leave in this world are the pictures you paint.
It’s our nature to tear it apart.
It’s a darkness that lives in us all.
So if this is the shape of our world.
You give it away to the girl when you fall.
If this is the shape of the world.
I don’t want it anymore .
You can’t live your life on your knees.
While loved ones just do as they please.
It’s time that you cure your disease.
Just cut the ties and be free.
We're conditioned from being young.
That we have to search for the one that we'll love.
No matter what it may become.
The shape of the world comes undone.

The Flame
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
Bust at the seams
look how he bleeds on the floor
A shadow of what
He used to mean to us all
Dusted in dreams
That fade a bit more each day
The crowd only gather
For moment he breaks.
He used to walk this earth with ownership
But every king one day feels their crown slip
He says life is a fairground and fame was my ride
I got thrown from the carriage and left down there to die
So easy to lose it and so hard to retain
Your reason for being, your passion, your flame
Chasing the highs
That left him decades ago
The world had moved on
It does not want to know
Singing the tunes
That paid for decadent years
The words that you write
For the God that you fear
There's no looking back
When you've got nowhere to go
Just shut up and sing
Give the people their show
Now he walks the earth with tired eyes
Every day's another sacrifice
And he says life is a snake pit there's just one way out
When you get this high you can only come down
So easy to lose it and so hard to retain
Your reason for being, the passion, the flame
The Flame

Letting Go
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
The lies that hide behind the eyes
All signs are flashing red
The aches and pains become the same
as the fog that fills my head
Innocence is always lost and
Experience now shows
Took the wrong turn so many times
And now
I'm letting go
And find in time
Your hooks
They can't hold me
I'll end this show
Burned years away blinded
Now so easy to see
The sweet release I craved from you
Grew sour as years went by
With everything you took from me and still I'd satisfy
The need to have oblivion and disconnect my mind,
the pressures kept you close at hand but now I'll say goodbye
It hard to picture life apart when you're everywhere I go
Sewn into the fabric of all the people that I know
Leaving you behind's designed to put me in the cold
For refusing to let you in
I'm letting go
And find in time
Your hooks
They can't hold me
I'll end this show
Burned years away blinded
Now so easy to see

Last A Lifetime
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
Sprawling walls and freezing cold
Are thoughts that come to mind
We started out so promising
But all love begins blind
The voices that can change a heart
Were never far away
And through it all you held your ground
No matter what they'd say
I know I can be hard to love
I'm damaged and unkind
I only open myself up
When writing down these lines
If there's something left to save
Then please give me a sign
I'm bleeding out I’m losing faith
We're running out of time
Answer honestly
Could you really last a lifetime
At the crossroads
And we both know
You either hold tight or let go
I won't beg you
I need the truth
Another year waiting for you to decide
Vodka in your cranberry
A cigarette-stained call
We could take the world on
It was us against them all
I had something beautiful
I stamped until it bled
The wounds have healed but left their scars
And let resentment spread
Nowadays a battlefield
Is played out every day
Taking shots at what is left
Until one of us breaks
I don't know how to come back
Or try and cure the pain
I wish I could take back the years
And do it all again
I think honestly
We could really last a lifetime
At the crossroads
And we both know
You either hold tight or let go
I won't beg you
I need the truth
Another year waiting for you to
At the crossroads
And we both know
You either hold tight or let go
I won't beg you
I need the truth
Another year waiting for you
At the crossroads
And we both know
You either hold tight or let go
I won't beg you
I need the truth
Another year waiting for you to decide

Set You Free
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
Take another look at what I am
I don't hold the keys or have a plan
Never tell you lies I'm only pure
Mirror to your soul I'm not so sure
You will find
The answers can change your mind
Look inside
I can't give you anything that you may need
I'm a temporary measure, less of a cure more a disease
I can't save you and I don't care if you bleed
You won't take any exceptions, there's no way to set you free
Tell yourself a lie to make the day
Tonight's the last time when you walk away
Hope is running low excuses reign
One more time is fine just one more day
You will find
Your actions will haunt your life
Stays inside
Take It
I can't give you anything that you may need
I'm a temporary measure, less of a cure more a disease
I can't save you and I don't care if you bleed
You won't take any exceptions, there's no way to set you free
I can't give you anything that you may need
I'm a temporary measure, less of a cure more a disease
I can't save you and I don't care if you bleed
You won't take any exceptions, there's no way to set you free

Book Of Lies
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
Desperation put the miles
Between the girl and where she'd been
Far enough away that they would never find
Her mother and her father stripped away her hopes and dreams
Had her life planned out before her eyes
She knows there's another way
That the path's not set in stone
A woman doesn't need a man
She can do it on her own
She had to get away
Cut the ties for her tomorrow
Another runaway
Leaving the book of lies behind
Teachings passed from generations
Set the rot amongst the young
Designed to segregate for male pride
Now they start to question is it right to live this way,
practicing words from the book of lies
But they know there's another way
If they stand up to the past
Severing the cycles
making sure they are the last
They have to get away
Cut the ties for their tomorrow
They just runaway
Leaving the book of lies behind
You can't hesitate
The shame wont fade to sorrow
You have to navigate
If you live the book of lies
Why do we designate
Why do we need a higher power?
So we can push the blame
For the demons deep inside
Always a price to pay
Another prayer to save your life
Just give it all away
To believe in the book of lies

Come In From The Cold
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
It's alright when you don't feel it
It's alright to not fit in
It's alright to feel I'm failing
Struggle to find words to begin
No one ever gets a rerun
Don't waste your time living a lie
We push the darkness down inside
Make efforts just to hide
Keep it all to ourselves
We can't ask for help
It's alright to drown a problem
It's alright to walk away
It's alright if you can't take it
No one is forcing you to stay
I hope one day it will be easy
I hope we won't feel so alone
I hope they get the help they need
No one should face it on their own
No one ever gets a rerun
Don't waste your time living a lie
We push the darkness down inside
Make efforts just to hide
Keep it all to ourselves
We can't ask for help
Tears are for the weak
So some may never speak
Or reach out to a friend
Before they choose to end
Another life we lose too soon
who couldn't break the rules
And in the end the fool
well that is me and you
For struggling alone
as strangers in a home
Or islands out at sea
Who never could believe
That it is time to talk
when you can't take much more
Let go of what you're told and come in from the cold
Come in from the cold
Come in from the cold
Come in from the cold
Come in from the cold

Embrace The Moments Later
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
Warm my blood at least enough
To paint a better picture
There are tools to help dial down your hell
But there's no one who can fix you
We consume it all we wonder why we fall
Into cages of our own making
Rats in a maze hungry for days
Tearing chunks out each other's faces
Habit is a dirty word
Among the sycophants and haters
Take photo as it happens
And embrace the moments later
“You think it's a coincidence that narcissism is rising
And so is the depression rate
Or that anxiety is at an al-time high”
So pray to your gods with your time on a screen
We are all f£&king damned anyway
Plugged in to so much yet we're all out of touch
Because the world has nothing left to say
I took offence when they said the problems all in your head
They are fine it is you that is sick
I had a good search around the only thing that I found
Were the lies that you use as a stick
And in the years we deny
Power passes us by
As we sign away rights every day
Get you locked in for life
Filtering paradise
For our vanity what will we pay
Habit is a dirty word
Amongst the sycophants and haters
Take photo as it happens
And embrace the moments later
Studying the masses
Feeds machines with our behaviour
Never mind the world outside
Just embrace the moments later
Habit is a dirty word
Amongst the sycophants and fakers
Take photo as it happens
And embrace the moments later
Studying the masses
Feeds machines with our behaviour
Never mind the world outside
Just embrace the moments later

Mirror Bleeds
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
The mirror bleeds another scene
Electric themes in a desert
Over the edge they wait for me
My functions fade I'm just presence
I let your ashes stain
my last cry
Your will to live burned up
and it died
I'm crawling towards the light
I've seen these tricks I know the signs
I've been lost out on this same road
but not so deep where no one goes
This far from home the angels won't come
To answer my calls, I'm alone now
I never learn late to return
And repair myself when I come down
No one needs this set of dreams
I close my eyes, but I still see
The images are breaking me
Shake my belief I could be free
I left so much behind
is it still me
Something pure has died
it died screaming
I'm falling through this endless night
I can't trust what's before my eyes
The ships roll in across the sky
From different stars and different times
This far from home the angels won't come
To answer my calls, I'm alone now
I never learn late to return
And repair myself when I come down
Tear-stained cheeks
The bid to be free
A challenge to breathe
Just take what you need
The dogs have your scent
It's happened again
If you get pulled in
I'll save you my friend
The light's getting low
There's not long to go
I hope you can find
A way out of my mind
So I'll try and seek
A way to find peace
And not question why
This must be goodbye

The Final Show
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
Welcome to the last show you will see
A bittersweet feeling will fill the scenes
Humans can't appreciate the now
Look back at what they had and just feel down
Welcome to the final show
You'll give your pain away
You can't ask anyone who goes
The ticket is just one way
The lights go down and life is on a screen
Every memory is crystal clean
The mistake we make is fearing we'll be judged
The light we see is helping us adjust
To our energy transforming what we are
This show helps you accept returning to the stars
Welcome to the final show
You'll give your pain away
It's a chance to really see
You’ll love the parts you play
Now you've seen the final show
There's no reason to stay
You live on in the memories
And life and love you made
We're closing up the ride is done
We hope we eased your fears
A final gift for you to mark the end
Of all your years
The mystery lives on for those
That hope and breathe and pray
The final show has ended now you start to fade away

Reach Out
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
Maybe one day we will find it
A way to bottle what's inside
Before time is allowed to tarnish
Before the resentment and pride
Those days can seem so long ago
If you dig deep, then you will find
I still reach out in the morning
I need to know you're by my side
Love can pass by without warning
I still see it in your eyes
Some look at the way we argue
Comparing us is to pretend
We still have that fire burn brightly
While they are living life as friends
There are some things that you just know
You find the right one you hold tight
I still reach out in the morning
I need to know you're by my side
Love can pass by without warning
I still see it in your eyes
I still reach out in the morning
I need to know you're by my side
Love can pass by without warning
I still see it in your eyes
I still reach out in the morning
I need to feel you by my side
Love can pass by without warning
I still see it in your eyes

Find A Way
Written by: Stuart Saunders, Iain Collison, Neil Berry,
You can keep on praying for the day to come
It's easier than admitting that you may be wrong
The stories get old
I watch another eye roll
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna find a way
Trying to make peace
I know it doesn't come cheap
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna find a way yeah
Cracks are forming in the book of lies you keep
Spin around in circles cos you're in so deep
The stories get old
I catch another eye roll
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna find a way
Trying to make peace
I know it doesn't come cheap
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna find a way yeah
The stories you told
To get you back in the fold
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna find a way
The cards will fall down
And we will just watch you drown
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna find a way yeah
I'm gonna find a way now
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna find a way-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna find a way now
I'm gonna take you down
I'm gonna watch you drown
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna see you pay
I'm gonna find a way

Broken hearts still hope
To find the one who will change
To find someone who feels the same
