Every day and every night
Another struggle
Every day and every night
Another fight
Every day and every night
They watch us fall
Every day and every night
We want it all
The world came to bring us down
The world came to let us down
The world wants to bring the rain

I take one step you take ten surrounding me.if I don't get off your web I'll die slowly. I feel my head caving in from all your roundices. Spider webs of lies I can't break free. Spider webs of lies they're surrounding me.i try to run you wrap me tighter till I can't breathe.spider webs if lies just let me be. I can barely move with your fangs inside of me. Going straight for my veins until I can't bleed. By the time it's all said and done they'll be no room for apologise. Spider webs of lies I can't break free.spider webs of lies they're surrounding me.i try to run you wrap me tighter till I can't breathe.spider webs of lies just let me be.i take one step you take ten surrounding me.if I don't get off your web I'll die slowly. I feel my head caving in from all your roundices. Spider webs of lies I can't break free.spider webs if lies they're surrounding me. I try to run you wrap me tighter till I can't breathe.spider webs of lies just let me be.spider webs of lies just let me be.

You swept me off my feet like a hurricane wave
Larger than life, you were a dream come true
But some dreams aren’t meant to be real
So you dream about what might have been
And now I’m lying on the floor in the middle of mayhem.
Your words flowed through me like haunted melodies
Playing on the strings of my mind until I went numb
Your love was for show and my heart was your theatre
So naïve from the start, I finally figured it out
And now I’m searching for my soul, resurrecting in mayhem.
So many crazy nights, so many wasted tears
. . .

Verse 1
Woke up with your taste in my mouth
Just want to jump back in my dream
Want to close my eyes and fly in your love
When did all of this went south?
I thought that we where a team
That you where proud of
Chorus
Do you still think of me?
Tell me please
We don’t have to agree
. . .

A Time to listen
The echo of a year still reverberating
a whole lot of love nearly lost by hating
A new resolution to love and let live
be kind to ourselves and brothers forgive
My echo of love lingers for years
My stories of hate prolong the tears
The times I listen and the times I ignore
I’m glad my heart knows what to listen for.
My background noise is Life’s many voices,
Who we hear loudest flavours our choices
. . .

CHORUS
Need to change
Need to change
All the habits in my veins
Go insane
I’m insane
Need to change
Need to change
1
I can’t do what I want to do
I can’t see what’s in front of me
. . .

Insecure
Insecure in this world
Insecurity grows in me, every time you call my name
Please don’t lock me in your heart, if you do it wouldn’t be real
Not for me
Let me be free, I want to see the sky
Beautiful blue sky
Beautiful blue sky
Beautiful blue blue sky.
My whole life was a game, I never won
You apart me from my soul, eyes from the light

V1
Sometimes I drink too much I look at other,
Women and stay out too late on the town,
But my Girl says I’m just a work in progress,
One day I’ll come around One day I’ll come around
Repeat Chorus:
Yeah I’m a work in progress Man sometimes it feels like there’s no hope for me,
I’m always getting into trouble for saying the right things at the wrong time
. . .

VERSE 1
I started singing like 5 years ago
I started rappin and hit it like whoa
Getting to money and getting to dough
Imma do me and I know what I know
I just came here just to get it and go
Stay on my level and stick with the flow
I'm finna blow up and Imma glow
I see them hatin it's not on the low
I can care less what they say about me
Wake up to own it yeah just to be me
. . .

But its lost love
Chin up lad you must
Always edging on the cusp
Can't believe its all over
Just about to buy her a new Range Rover
But its lost love
Chin up lad you must
Always edging on the cusp
Can't believe its all over
Just about to buy her a new Range Rover
As time goes by and i wonder why?
