Don't Kill My Rock
I found my way when I learn't guitar, I got direction when I sang my lyrics. I took a right and I wrote a song, you want the truth well you have to live it. I don't care about what they say, I don't care about what they do, I don't care if you lost your soul, don't you kill my rock & roll. You relate you relate, if it happened to you. You relate you relate, if it happened to you. You relate you relate, if it happened to you. You relate you related if it happened. I don't care about what they say, I don't about what they do, I don't care if you lost your soul, don't you kill my rock & roll. You relate you relate, if it happened to you. You relate you relate, if it happened to you. You relate you relate, if it happened to you. You relate you related if it happened. Won't you understand, won't you understand, won't you understand. Won't you understand, won't you understand, won't you understand. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! I found my way when I learn't guitar, I got direction when I sang my lyrics. I took a right and I wrote a song, you want the truth well you have to live it. Could it be real if you didn't even live it? Could it be real if you didn't even live it? Could it be real if you didn't even live it? Could it be real if you didn't even live it? You relate you relate, if it happened to you. You relate you relate, if it happened to you. You relate you relate, if it happened to you. You relate you related if it happened. Hands holding on, I will swim us to shore. Hands holding on I will swim us to shore. Hands holding on, I will swim us to shore. Hands holding on, I will swim us to shore. Hands holding on, I will swim us to shore. Hands holding on, I will swim us to shore.

Kenelis - Don't Kill My Rock

Moving to Brighton
MOVE! Quicksand mess, kept pulling me under all the vapid words, kept making me shudder. To get what you want, you have to lose what you have. No way I could stop, you know me better than that. A polluted sky makes it look so wild, while the moon sits alone like an only child! Jumping the train from the city to break free. You're here today we've got anything that you need. Believe in fate who knows who you just might meet. The town gives you everything everything everything! We could run from this town where we first laid our bones. With the sea at our feet we are never alone. If everything's old then what's next will be new. Lets start again, I will never leave you. A polluted sky, makes it look so wild while the moon sits alone, like an only child! Jumping the train from the city to break free. You're here today we've got anything that you need. Believe in fate who knows who you just might meet. The town gives you everything everything everything! MOVE!

Open Your Eyes
You should feel guilty, 'cause you're a lazy little… be still my empty, well you didn't give a fuck! Set me on fire, well there's nothing left to burn. I've read the paper, give me a match I swear I'll learn! It's been taken too far and there's no going back and we all got too shit and we all got too slack and they're blaming the schools and we're paying the tax, give us our innocence back. And as I said before (what!?), you wanted nothing more, I don't believe you won't you open your eyes. When there's a riot, there's no sides give me a gun. Hi-jack a jet plane, we'll fly you right into the sun. It's been taken too far and there's no going back and we all got too shit and we all got too slack and they're blaming the schools and we're paying the tax, give us our innocence back. And as I said before (what?!), you wanted nothing more, I don't believe you won't you open your eyes. And as I said before (what?!), you wanted nothing more, I don't believe that you don't open your eyes. It's been taken too far, fucking open your eyes. It's been taken too far fucking open your eyes. It's been taken too far fucking open your eyes. It's been taken too far, fucking open your eyes! And as I said before (what?!) you wanted nothing more, I don't believe you won't you open your eyes. And as I said before (what?!) you wanted nothing more, I don't believe that you don't open your eyes.

GFY 
Wake up ready for the day, my gut is wrenching because all that's wrong is here (I'm fairly empty). The winners never fear, I'm hours early won't you hold on to the pain, so I can love again! With all the hearts we swallow. They'll never rediscover. I wanna be a shade of violet like my heart, you're green with envy well you're, you're better, off in the dark. It seems you're standing in my way please don't excuse me 'cause you're being pretty rude. Manners cost nothing. Consider what you owe for all the evil and the pain you cause the world, oh just go fuck yourself! With all the hearts we swallow. They'll never rediscover! I wanna be a shade of violet like my heart, you're green with envy well you're, you're better, off in the dark. I wanna be a shade of violet like my heart, you're green with envy well you're, you're better, off in the dark! I didn't want to. I didn't want to. I didn't want to! I didn't want to! I didn't want to! I didn't want! I wanna be a shade of violet like my heart, you're green with envy well you're, you're better, off in the dark. I wanna be a shade of violet like my heart, you're green with envy well you're, you're better, off in the dark! (The green of envy is a mix of yellow and blue, wanna be a shade of violet like my heart. The green of envy is a mix of yellow and blue, wanna be a shade of violet like my heart)
