{Verse 1}
Here's a story about a girl I met
She twisted every single word I said
Her cute little smile hypnotised me
Into someone, 
I never wanted to be

She took my mind, my body, my soul
She wanted everything, to be in control
I gave her my all, but all she did was fade away
Into the fire

From where she blew flames into my eyes
I couldn't see truth, it was hidden by lies
Wanted me to fall but there I stood
Determined
To put out her fire

{Chorus}
What you need from me 
Is more than I can give
I know I'm better off alone
I might live
For you would be the death of me, I see
When all I want is to be free, so free
Just let me be...

{Verse 2}
Set my mind on the things I dreamt
Stood by my words and away I went
Into the world, 
As bold as the sea
I became the man, 
I always wanted to be

And with my mind, my body, my soul
I took back everything, to gain back control
I gave it my all, and there I stood and turned away
Away from the fire

From where she blew flames into my eyes
And all the truth, was hidden by lies
She wanted me to fall but there I stood
Determined 
To put out her fire

{Chorus}
What you need from me 
Is more than I can give
I know I'm better off alone
I might live
For you would be the death of me, I see
When all I want is to be free, so free
Just let me be.. let me be
Let me be... Let me be!

{Outro}
You used to say to me
"Love will find a way"
Well, what we had was real
You threw it all away!

And now the dye is cast,
The sword is stuck in the stone
My heart's at peace at last
Now I'm finally home

No bitterness in my soul
I wish you all the best
I guess we'll never know
If we woulda passed the test

For now the dye is cast
The sword is stuck in the stone
My heart's at peace at last 
Now I'm finally home
Now I'm finally home.....

{Fade out}

Sword In The Stone

Blinders {Live Demo}

The tempered joy that summer's here
By the passing of another year
It seems your head is getting clear
But for all the wrong reasons

Bury your head inside their noise
Go on, pretend that you're one of the boys
You've been trying to play with their toys
For all your life

Different liquids coursing your veins
But all of them seem much the same
Unlike these people who are rather strange
Where have they been?

Step through a portal to another world
A labyrinth filled with beautiful girls
The mere suggestion of illusion kills
Your glass has always been mirrored

Invisible
To the one you used to know!
And 
Invisible
To the one you wish to know!

Head back home to the same old bed
No past glories to relive in your head
But you'll make them up tomorrow instead
Or so you say

Invisible
To the one you used to know!
And
Invisible
To the one you wish to know!

Tempered Joy {Live Jordan Vocals}

A man's worth is measured by how
He learns from his mistakes, and if he can stand proud
And what that means is, as long as you're cool
You can learn on the streets rather than sitting at school

And all the faces I see every day
Wi all the drugs and all the drink they've blew life away
It makes ye sad but all ye can do
Is drop them a pound and say how'd ye do

So many minds, but no enough thought
Tae get the town improving, they're no giein a jot
Until a poor man's breakin in
For somewhere to sleep, oh there's no room at the inn

It's nothin new, no need ti paint ye a picture
The poor get poorer n the rich get richer
There's only so much we can a' take
While we're sittin here n watchin all our cities decay

Nowhere tae turn so we just stay on the straight
Prayin for justice for the 96, its never too late
Dont buy the sun, don't vote for tory, no more
The whole entire system is rotten to the core

That's all a really wanted to say
A had ti get it off ma chest before the night turned to day
For a man's worth is not measured by how
Many pennies he has, but if he can stand proud

No More! {idea}

I heard you whistling with the wind, last night
I seen you sparkle with the fire
I felt you burning by the sun, taking the heat for everyone
Oh how you rework our design

I heard you singing with the birds, today
I saw you scripting another way
Your eyes like diamonds in the rough, Lighting the way for each of us
Don't know how, but it's clear, you're near...

Oh though we know that you're gone
We never walk alone
When our troubles come to shore
We stand alone no more
When our backs against the ropes
We never give up hope
When the world tries to break us down
We get up and go

I heard you whisper with the ghost, today
I saw you sparke with the fire
I felt you burning by the sun, lighting the way for everyone
Don't know how but it's clear, you're near...

Oh though we know that you're gone
We never walk alone
When our troubles come to shore
We stand alone no more
When our backs against the ropes
We never give up hope
When the world tries to break us down
We get up and go

Get Up And Go

I heard you whistling with the wind, last night
And I seen you sparkle with the fire
And I felt you burning, by the sun
Taking the heat for everyone
Oh how you rework our design

And I heard you singing with the birds, today
And I saw you scripting another way, oh yeah...
Your eyes like diamonds in the rough
Lighting the way for each of us
Don't know how, but it's clear
You're near...

And though we know that you're gone
We never walk alone
When our troubles come to shore
We stand alone no more
When our back's against the ropes
We never give up hope
When the world tries to break us down
We get up and go...
We get up and go......
We get up and go...
We get up and go...... woahh...

I know you're smiling from a cloud above
And I bet you're dancing with the rain...
From you I learned to love, I learned the wayyy!
And I know I'll see you again someday! Oh yeah...

And though we know that you're gone
We never walk alone
When our troubles come to shore
We stand alone no more
When our back's against the ropes
We never give up hope
When the world tries to break us down
We get up and go...
We get up and go......
We get up and go...
We get up and go...... woahh...
