It's time to share a secret held too deep
Tell the story of a mountain much too steep
Held beneath a burden I'm bound to keep
The distant echo that haunts me in my sleep

[CHORUS]
Lean in
Let me whisper in your ear
Words I need you to hear
Before I go
Lean in
I've had something to say
But never found a way
To let you know

Does it seem to you the question never ends
This darkened road, can't see around these bends
Silence hurts with the message that it sends
The pain inflicted too hard to make amends

[CHORUS]

[BREAK]

Lean In - demo v2

Darkness falls
All I see
Fuzzy hope
Lost to me
Destination
Never clear
No escape
Restless fear

It's going nowhere
Time to turn away x3

Solace yet
To be found
Memories flash
Without sound
Focused gaze
On the line
Nothing moves
Only time

This road goes nowhere
It's time to turn away x3

Going Nowhere (Lightened Dark) - demo v2

[VERSE]
Beguiling smile
Hides the simmering behind your eyes
Grandiose heart
Reality defined by your lies

[CHORUS]
Captured heart
Can't believe what I feel
This hope surreal
I'm in love with the Queen of the Damned

[VERSE]
Created your world
With admiration that you didn't earn
When you don't need them
You'll just turn away and let it burn

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
They built a tower for you
And give the last drop of their soul
Nothing they wouldn't do
Addicted to affection you stole

[CHORUS] x2

Queen of the Damned - demo v2

The journey's over
But you leave a simple note 
A final word
You wish you never wrote 

So many questions
Tied up in a knot 
The explanation
A last twist in the plot

[CHORUS]
If she asked you
Would you tell her
Why it's never been the same
How the story
Lost direction
The conclusion such a shame
Could there be
A happy ending
If you'd gone another way
Now the book
Has all been written
And there's no more you can say

Cryptic clues 
Left throughout the tale 
Scattered breadcrumbs
But no one found the trail 

It was all a mystery
Such a good disguise
Unexpected
Protagonist's demise 

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
This final chapter
Designed to shed a light
As he's leaving
Walks into the night

[CHORUS]

Epilogue - demo v2

Finding The Groove



You left in silence
No more words to say
This winding road
Doesn't go your way
The past behind you
Left where it lay
No destination
As you walk away

[Chorus]
My heart was closed
How did we begin
Trying to figure out
Why I let you in
You found a way
Under my skin
Can I get you out
Now I've let you in

[Verse]
You left in darkness
Didn't see you go
Your fraying edge
You'd never show
My understanding
Was much too slow
And a better answer
We'll never know

[Chorus]

[Outro]


Let You In - demo v2

Red light, green light  Show me the way
Allay my indecision  Do you want me to stay?
I need an indication  Please give me a sign
Don't try to make believe  That decision is mine

[CHORUS]
I'm stuck in this scene  But what does it mean
To be caught in between  The red and the green

Green light, red light  Does it matter to you?
The lights are flashing amber  Just don't know what to do
I'm reeling with the feeling  Can't afford a mistake
I'll only get one chance  This resolution to make

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]	
So much confusion
Imaginary fusion
To find a solution   
Is it just an illusion   
That I'll lose my delusion	
And reach a conclusion

[CHORUS]

[OUTRO]  	
I’m caught between the red and the green x3

The Red and the Green demo_HD

Watch from afar
See the colour and the light
Of a gradual dawn
Pierce the darkest night
This place was the home
Where the mess was made
The scars remain
As all the memories fade 

[CHORUS]
For so many years
You didn't know what to do
The sun is shining now	
You're moving beyond the blue
Turning away from the	Shadows that were haunting you
You're not afraid
Of moving beyond the blue

Hard to understand
How a lifetime of pain
Can suddenly disappear
Like a shower of rain
But here you are now
You're leaving it all behind
Embracing the change
A new future to find

[CHORUS]

[OUTRO]
You're moving beyond the blue
You're moving beyond the blue
See the colour and light Pierce the darkest night
Moving beyond the blue
Leave it all behind A new future to find
Moving beyond the blue
