Villain 
From 'Left', released 2017
Lyrics and Music by David Paoli and Emma Davies



Villain

Daylight slips away 
Right through my fingers
Studyin' up till late 
Catch in the mirror

Dark sweet lookin'
Right at your beginnin'
Dreaming all night about 
The things that you said

Nightfall breaks the spell 
But I'm all alone now
Burning candles can't
Do much for me now

Light sneaks out and 
Shows me your shadow 
I hear your voice 
And I know that you're there

Oooh oooh
The Devil is in the window
Oooh ohhh
The Devil sits in the window

Leaves fall in the spring 
Snow in the summer
Dark days sunny nights
Warm in December 

Scowling walking past 
Don't you feel strange now
Teardrop eyes
Follow you round the room

Oooh oooh
The Devil is in the window
Oooh ohhh
The Devil sits in the window
All night
He's looking for things to teach ya
Ahhh aaaaaaah
Keeps thinking of ways to reach ya 

Hey hey 
Start running in the other direction 
Hey hey 
Don't wait here for him to get ya 

Villain 

Sand castles 
look great when you build em
Tide comes in, 
washes all that away

Break that mould 
if you wanna be seen here
Turn away 
if you wanna be fsaved 

Ooooh oooh, 
The devil is in the window 
Ooooh, oooh, 
The devil sits in the window 

All night 
He's sitting there in the darkness
Aaaah 
Can't blame it on me 
He's watchin'....

Miles + Hours
Heavy Meta

Music and Lyrics by David Paoli and Emma Davies 

Open the window
Feel the cold
Deafening silence
For too long
For too long

You asked what I needed 
What's there to say 
One step further
One step away 
Step away 

Cause you said what should I do
You knew we had to change
Cause you said what do I need 

All I need is miles and hours
Miles and hours

I need time and space

Dial my number 
And hang up the phone
I want to be on my own 
Left alone

Fulfil me this promise
You never meant to make
And give me room for breathing
Another way
Other way 

How can I convince you to
Turn away and just keep going 
Will you ever understand? 

All I need is miles and hours
Miles and hours

I need time and space

Left in the darkness 
Alone in the night 
I have these demons left here to fight
But it's alright 
It's alright
I'll be fine
I can put up a fight 

Without you 
Without you here 
I'll be alright 
I don't need anyone 

Cause you said what should I do
You knew we had to change
Cause you asked me what to do 

All I need is miles and hours
Miles and hours

I need time and space

Miles + Hours

Cannonball

From 'Left' by Heavy Meta, coming 2017

Music and Lyrics by David Paoli and Emma Davies

Cannonball
You shoot right through me
Then boy,
You come running back to me 

It's a test to find someone that you don't like
A smile like that is something you can't disguise
Mirrors and photographs
They love you 

People are drawn to you it's like you got your own gravity 
Those diamond blues, they can't sense your depravity
Ladies and gentlemen 
They love you 

Oh baby, I tell you, I love you 

Steal my heart 
As you tear through the battlefield 
Make me a part 
Of a long line of sweethearts 

Cause when you're nearing the end 
You'll remember what I was to you 
And when you're needing a friend 
You'll know that I was always true 
.
And you'll come running back to me 

Oooh,

Cannonball 
You shoot right through me 
Then boy
Come running back to me

Shoot me down and I'll get right up
One look at you is never enough
Your words are a familiar disaster

It's a waste of time, a waste of a life
Chasing you and drowning in strife 
But baby, it's divine
To want you

Oh baby, I tell you, I want you 

Steal my heart 
As you tear through the battlefield 
Make me a part 
Of a long line of sweethearts 

Cause when you're nearing the end 
You'll remember what I was to you 
And when you're needing a friend 
You'll know that I was always true 

And you'll come running back to me 
And you'll come running back to me 

Oooh,

Cannonball 
You shoot right through me 
Cannonball 
Cut into me
Cannonball, cannonball 
Come running back to me

Cause when you're nearing the end 
You'll remember what I was to you
And you'll come running back to me 
And you'll come running back to me

Cannonball
