Lyrics:
I’m the first born to a loving family
I’m an orphan crying out to god why me
But I I I am alive alive

I’m a poor young soul raised by the streets
I’m a silver spoon scholar in the ivy leagues
But I I I am alive

I’ve been wondering 
If I’ll ever find my place

Tell me what you’re afraid of
I could be your halo
I could be the devil thats in your head
I could be your saviour 
Be a devastator
Nations don’t just rise and fall by chance
I am

I’m a man of the cloth I don’t fear my fate
I’m a desperate son who sold his soul for fame
But I I I am alive

Ive been wandering
Still haven’t found my place
The only thing I know is
It’s easy to miss if you never aim

Tell me what you’re afraid of
I could be your halo
I could be the devil that’s in your head
I could be your saviour 
Be a devastator
Nations don’t just rise and fall by chance
I am

It’s all a little too close for comfort
Who we become is in our own hands
Tell me what you're afraid of
I could be your halo
I could be the devil its in your hands
I am

I Am

Lyrics:

It don’t feel like home
A heavy heart and the weight of the world
It’s like your flame burned out
And you can’t breathe the air is too cold
Oh theyre waiting now
Are you gonna get up or gonna stay low
So light up light up light up light up
And steal the show
What are you waiting for
I know I know I know you’re not
Ready to go
I can feel your arms are shaking
Beautiful heart
Surrender your control
Light up light up light up light up and steal the show What are you waiting for
Like a glass to stone
You broke your back trying to do it alone
But I gotta tell you that the way that you’ve been Feelin is never going to be ending for you
Unless you’re answering them
Curtain calls a round of applause for you
For you for you

Steal The Show

Lyrics:

Felt the rage take me just like a hurricane
Guess Im a bit sick of hearing God
You speak your words like they're the gospel truth
To hell with anyone who wont agree with you
Guess Im a bit sick of hearing God

How could you be so self righteous
I don't want to be a know it all like you
Im just looking for some solace
Black and white no grey 
Left my heart black and blue

Try to medicate so you dont feel the pain
Choosing to save face over your soul
Twist the truth so you can call hate love
These narcissistic games will be the death of us
Now were all just sick of hearing God

Black And Blue

Lyrics:

Feels like we’re born with a blade inside our chests
A little deeper with every single breath
Carry the weight of the world in the palms of our hands

We hide our faces behind a neon glow
Neighbours are strangers we will never know
Feels like we’re buried alive in the digital snow

I cried to God and asked him how to calm my head
But all the noise and screens they drowned out what he said

Are we already dead?
Scroll the loop
While it ties a noose
Round ya neck
Can you hear me friend
Command control and escape
Or brave the avalanche

Worship the faces inside your little screen
They make commodities out of you and me
They prey on your rage, love or lust drown you in dopamine

Measure our value in the form of views and likes
My brain it turned on me I fight it day and night
Tossing and turning I can’t fall asleep
Wondering what everybody’s thinking about me

Avalanche

RIP To My Youth- The Neighbourhood (Cover)

"All out of Love" explores the theme of "them vs. us". A mentality  permeating society as of late. The notion that differing ideas or customs are to be interpreted as a form of malice and the the person holding those differing ideas is to be demonized. The antidote to hate has been and always will be love and lately it appears like we're running all out of it.

Lyrics:

I ain't been here long
But the times have changed
Everyone's caught up
Chasing something
That'll fill them up
Money lust or fame

Were surrounded but
Still feel alone
For every lonely heart
There's a broken home
'Cause it's them vs. us
And we are anger prone

Sticks and Stones
May break our bones
But it's the words
That seem to cut

It's like we're running all out of love
It's like we're running all out of love
Our lungs filled with kerosene 
Every word like fire we breathe
And burn it all to the ground
We're running all out
All out of love

Nervous at the sight 
Of different coloured skin
Try to justify 
Our ignorance
Though we're all messed up
We tell ourselves
It's them
Taught to withhold
Feelings and pain
Until our Hearts give out
Or were labeled weak
I don't wanna be numb
I can't keep feeling this way

Sticks and Stones
May break our bones
But it's the words
That seem to cut

It's like we're running all out of love
It's like we're running all out of love
Our lungs filled with kerosene 
Every word like fire we breathe
And burn it all to the ground
We're running all out
All out of love

It's like we're running it's like were running
It's like we're running all out of love
It's like we're running all out of love
It's like we're running it's like we're running
It's like we're running all out of love
It's like we're running it's like were running
It's like we're running all out of love

It's like we're running all out of love
It's like we're running all out of love
Our lungs filled with kerosene 
Every word like fire we breathe
And burn it all to the ground
We're running all out
All out of love

All Out of Love

Lyrics: 

Verse:
Eyes like fire
She can tell
She got me caught got me caught up in her spell
Lips like sugar
Yea it’s for real
She got me fallin' got me fallin' as I feared 
Just like

Chorus:
Rain no point in tryin' to escape
This ain’t just a little fling 
It’s too late
She got me fallin' fallin' like rain

Verse:
Got that power
Over me
Where she is 
Where she goes 
Is where I’ll be
I‘ll be her armour 
Her sword her shield
Every word every touch 
Just makes me feel like rain

Chorus

Bridge: 
Rain no point in tryin' to escape
This ain’t just a little phase 
She got me fallin' fallin' like rain

Chorus x2

Rain

Lay It All On Me

Lyrics:
Gave my soul to the lord down by the river
While my demons stood by
Waiting for me to give up all I’d been given
For another line

She’s so bad but I’m so curious
In my blood she's all I'm thinking of 
I can’t ever get her off my mind
She’s so bad but I’m so curious
In my blood she’s all I think of
I can’t ever get her off my mind
Sweet lady white
Lady in white

Told my love that day I’d been delivered
Now I can’t look her in the eye
Because I know she’ll see 
Darkness inside of me
Again gripped by the vices that were killing me
I swore to the sky now tell me why I cannot change

Thought I’d be free
Don’t forsake me
