Lyrics: 
I’m going away
Can I come back to face you another day 
Going over everything 
To make my mistakes
Not have a bitter taste

Can I suffocate 
Being sucked into the words of someone I can’t relate 
Throwing out the excuses
When you say 
How you doing today

All these people we don’t see
Are falling out and I’m just me 
Want to fill my head with make believe 
Where is all the honesty though 
When all the real things go

Behind the filters and the feelings
And the paid for advertising 
Where can I find it 

i'll get my drink to watch the big fight
Filled my glass to the right height 
Do you know if i’ll be alright
To put on a show 
When all the real things go 

Be disappointed 
But I wanted something better than what we’ve got 
If somethings done 
Can we not cross it out 
& leave it there 
Can we not drop this now 

All these people we don’t see
Are falling out and I’m just me 
Want to fill my head with make believe 
Where is all the honesty though 

When all the real things go
When all the real things go
When all the real things go
When all the real things go

Lyrics

Can you speak a little louder
Coz i've come for some answers
But they can't be found here
When you sabotage it

I'll listen to your reasoning
But know i don't believe in it
The ways that you're planning 
To light me up and lead me on

You can play to win
Until i choose
Another way 
To another fool

I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out 

We're stuck in cycles on repeat
Why would you break it off 
When your worlds at your feet
If i clear my head with some honesty 
You say you're here to help
But you've never helped me

I'm only gonna help me

I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out

Nobodies gonna help me
I'm only gonna help me
Nobodies gonna help me
I'm only gonna help me

I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out

Call You Out

Lyrics:

You keep trying to box me up
Can't you see you're out of luck 
So break free from your black and white 
And find me some colours in the night 

Too many dark places creeping up on me 
I need bright spaces let my spirit breathe
We need to escape and chase the morning light
Find me some colours in the night 

So dance to the beat inside of me 
If you see stars then i'll believe 
That you can light the fire in my life
And find me 

The colours of the night 
The colours of the night 
The colours of the night 
The colours of the night 

Let's lose ourselves in to the sound
Feel vibrations running through the ground 
Our waves of emotion can jump from highs
So come on and find me 

The colours of the night 
The colours of the night 
The colours of the night 
The colours of the night 

I don't want to be giving up on you 
I don't want to be giving up on you 
I don't want to be giving up on you 
I don't want to be giving up on you 

The colours of the night 
The colours of the night 
The colours of the night 
The colours of the night

The colours of the night 
The colours of the night 
The colours of the night 
The colours of the night

The colours of the night

Colours of the Night

Lyrics:
Under the water
Still watching on
Everything moves in slow motion
No power to speak
But I'll hear it all
You make all my decisions
You got all my control

There was a message written on a t-shirt
As she cried in the waiting room
She kept telling me that it didn't hurt 
But hope god would take him soon
And it said keep calm and carry on
Keep calm and carry on
It said keep calm and carry on
As god would keep him soon

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust we burn
Our time is borrowed
We all have to return

I was coming to help you
But I know you're caught between
Giving up or just living our sweetest dreams
But I never saw you
Looking as weak as this 
Not like the way you lived
Not like my memories

Your face printed on a t-shirt
Got your picture in my room
Your body may be missing but
I'll be seeing you soon
So i'll keep calm and carry on
Keep calm and carry on 
I'll keep calm and carry on
Someday I'll see you soon

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust we burn
Our time is borrowed
We all have to return

To return
To return

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust we burn
Our time is borrowed
We all have to return

Lyrics: You never speak the truth
Were you made for me to lose
So take my oxygen
I'm pushing it in
Like a religion

There's so much that I gave up for you
I thought you were somebody that I looked up to
We're not breathing in
No one's breathing in

Will you give up
Such a pretty little thing
You're such a pretty little warning
Just a pretty little sin

Will you give up
Such a pretty little thing
Such a pretty little warning
Just a pretty little sin

What are your faults
That made me run away
There's a limit to enough 
So tell me 
You don't want me to stay

You caught me
Colliding erasing
And I made you
Colder than porcelain 

There's so much that I gave up for you
I thought you were somebody that I looked up to
We're not breathing in
No one's breathing in

Will you give up
Such a pretty little thing
You're such a pretty little warning
Just a pretty little sin

Will you give up
Such a pretty little thing
You're such a pretty little warning
Just a pretty little sin

Lyrics:
I got the stones you've thrown that drove us to be friends
I keep painful souvenirs collect them in my head

Hit me up
Cut me up
Bust me up
I'll come out harder
I won't be over
Hit me up
Cut me up
Bust me up
I'll come out harder
I won't be over

Am I a warrior
Am I a warrior
Am I a warrior
Am I am I am I 

Did I follow a sign
Did it say walk here and give up trying
You try to make me change
Will you leave me to be in the bed i've made

Hit me up
Cut me up
Bust me up
I'll come out harder
I won't be over
Hit me up
Cut me up
Bust me up
I'll come out harder
I won't be over

Am I a warrior
Am I a warrior
Am I a warrior
Am I am I am I

You can't keep holding me
You can't keep holding me
You can't keep holding me
Do what you want to me

You can't keep holding me
You can't keep holding me
You can't keep holding me
Do what you want to me

Hit me up
Cut me up
Bust me up
I'll come out harder
I won't be over
Hit me up
Cut me up
Bust me up
I'll come out harder
I won't be over

Am I a warrior
Am I a warrior
Am I a warrior

Lyrics:
I got caught though and in my head 
I thought you were someone who wouldn't run
And I'm fighting low and i don't know 
I'm placing punches on everyone

Have you had enough 
Of what i've done done done
I've chased the obvious by wanting fun

There's a corner i'll curl up and go
Easier to stay to than throw this all away
We're not supposed to be natural born enemies
We're not supposed to be natural born enemies

If i bend how the rules behave
I'm out of sync with your steps and waves

Have you had enough 
Of what i've done done done
I've chased the obvious by wanting fun

There's a corner i'll curl up and go
Easier to stay to than throw this all away
We're not supposed to be natural born enemies

We're not supposed to be natural born enemies
We're not supposed to be natural born enemies
