LOVE IS THE WEAPON
Words and music by Tom Read

When the words we use are sharper than an arrow 
And the loudest voice the currency of fear 
We have bought the lies we think will keep us safer 
Closed our eyes to all we once held dear  

We have turned our backs on things good men have died for 
When we traded in our gospel for a gun 
Sent our messages as threats across the ocean 
We had lost before the fight began  

Could it be you, could it be me 
Could it be love is the weapon we need 
We're fighting a cause, it’s not what it seems 
Could it be love is the weapon we need 
You and me are not the enemy 

Is there nothing that will tame this wild addiction 
And no courage to admit when it's gone wrong 
Oh the road to hell is paved with good intentions 
We still have time to sing a different song 

Could it be love is the weapon we need 
Could it be, could it be 
We're fighting a cause but it's not what it seems 
Could it be, could it be 
That you and me are not the enemy 



Love Is The Weapon

Is Anyone Listening

REWRITE THE STORY
Words and Music by Tom Read


All the same words  
Too many times 
Stuck in the motions 
Trapped in the lies 
Start a new chapter 
It's time to turn the page 

Holding my breath 
Looking behind 
I can't see tomorrow 
Through yesterday's eyes 
A change of perspective 
It's time to turn the page 

Leave, leave it all behind 
Rewrite the story 
Change the lines 

A whisper, a shout 
A glimmer of light 
Fire in my belly 
A spark in my eye 
This is the moment 
It's time to turn the page  

Rewrite The Story

CRASHING
Words and music by Tom Read

Stay near me, don’t ever let me be  
All by myself, all by myself 
I don’t know if I can keep control 
Out of my depth, I'm out of my depth 

And the waves keep crashing over me 
And the waves keep crashing over me 
But still you keep holding on, 
Holding on, you keep holding on 
To my heart 

I can't see what's up ahead of me 
I'll try to stay strong, try to stay strong 
Don't let go, don't let me drift alone 
Tether to me, tether to me 

Rushing around me and over my head 
Stealing the air from my lungs, from my chest 
I can hardly breathe 
Dragging me downwards away from the light 
Pulling me under, grasping me tight 
I can hardly breathe 

Crashing
