Battle

When they break you down
And the hour's rough
Know you have the power to win.
When the broken hearted
Never give up
I've lead us both to sin.
When the day goes sour
And I almost stop
I know I cannot give in.
When the border seams
Set fire themselves
I know it's time to begin

oh oh oh oh
We've got a battle to win

When the day it comes
And it powers you up
You know that a change will come .
From the beating heart 
And the man is reborn
I feel the battle is done.

oh oh oh oh
We've got a battle to win

It's checked my blood
Through the fire
And you hurt no more.
It's checked my blood
And it's taken me back to 
What I need
Takes me back to one

oh oh oh oh 
We've got a battle to win

Battle

Set sail

Your gone, battered
Can’t sit straight
Go lie down on the interstate
She’s a cold hearted Caroline
Born tough and two faced
She was wasted on your good side
Move forwards and let it die
No more wrestling over evil touch
Unburdened against us

How great you are
Demonstrated eyes are cold

She got the goals and set sail
Icy glow and violence
Feed the fear and set a date
In the fires of her own home
Never to get it out alone
Heal the scars and set sail


Take the vial its a Tuesday
You know that you can’t break
I ‘ll recover from this wasted love
Pouring out in poor taste
Wild horses to get away
Driving into something churned up into dirt

Its gold dust to get away
And you know   that its a better day

She got the goals and set sail
Icy glow and violence
Feed the fear and set a date
In the fires of her own home
Never to get it out alone
Heal the scars and set sail
She got the goals and set sail
Icy glow and violence
Feed the fear and set a date
In the fires of her own home
Never to get it out alone
Heal the scars and set sail

Set Sail

...Take my lover, take my lover, take my lover and destroy...

The Counterfeit

The Glimmer Man

Born out of boredom
A hell sing moon
They fed you by the hand
And they let you glow
Broken out of jails and the Chelsea lanes
Breeding for the night owls 
An Eton main.

And you pay up
And you stay out
Falling over prose and the stolen hours
Its a leg up
Its a play out
Gunning for the heirs 
That will play your call.

Calling out deals like you never before 
Working all the man hours and close the doors
Bleeding and you're leeching
Behind forged scores
You wrap the lies in scenes 
That you've seen before 

And you sell up
Before you blow out
All from the scales that you 
tethered to gold
And its a lay up
Before you stay out
All from the pills that you never did swallow.

And so say goodbye
To the storm that you weathered
And so say goodbye 
To the days on the leather
And so say goodbye 
To the wheels of production
So say goodbye 
To the always certain.
