Andy Shipp

[Verse 1]
Walk in like I own the room
All eyes lock when I make my move
Midnight stare,
Yeah
I caught your view
You don’t know what you’re getting into
No words, I let it play out slow
By the time you see, you already know

[Pre-Chorus]
Cool on my skin
Fire within
You feel the rush
When I pull you in

[Chorus]
I wear black, yeah, I own the night
Heartbeat sync when you catch my eye
I wear black, pull you into my track
One touch and you’re never going back
I wear black, got you right where I want
No control when the tension starts
I wear black, now you’re falling fast
In my shadow, you’re fading to black

[Verse 2]
Slow burn when I cross your space
You try to look but you look away
Every step got you in a daze
Every breath that I take, you chase
No chase, I just let you come
Game already over, I already won

[Pre-Chorus]
Cold like the chrome
But you feel the glow
One little spark
And I take your soul

[Chorus]
I wear black, yeah, I own the night
Heartbeat sync when you catch my eye
I wear black, pull you into my track
One touch and you’re never going back
I wear black, got you right where I want
No control when the tension starts
I wear black, now you’re falling fast
In my shadow, you’re fading to black

[Bridge]
You see me when the lights go low
You feel me but you don’t get close
You want me but I never stay
I’m already walking away

[Chorus]
I wear black, yeah, I own the night
You can’t run when I’m in your mind
I wear black, pull you into my track
One touch and you’re never going back
I wear black, feel your world collapse
Every second you fade to black

[Outro]
Turn my head, I don’t look behind
You’re just another lost in my night
I wear black

[Verse 1]
Walks in slow
She runs the show
Midnight eyes
With a warning glow
Smoking skies in the way she moves
She don’t ask, she don’t have to choose
Lips that tell you take it or leave it
One look says you’ll believe it

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s ice, she’s fire
And she takes you higher
She’s dark but cool
And nobody’s fool

[Chorus]
She wears black and she owns the night
She wears black and you’re caught in her light
She wears black and you’re losing track
When you meet her, there’s no going back

[Verse 2]
Painted nails, black as sin
Doesn’t care who she lets in
One touch and you’re paralysed
She don’t chase, she hypnotises
Sharp and still, she knows the score
Leaves you always wanting more
More more more

[Bridge]
No fear in her eyes
No need for disguise
Her confidence cuts
Like a blade through your mind
Wearing black isn’t hiding at all
It’s a warning before you fall

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s ice, she’s fire
And she takes you higher
She’s dark but cool
And nobody’s fool

[Chorus]
She wears black and she owns the night
She wears black and you’re caught in her light
She wears black and you’re losing track
When she walks in, there’s no going back

[Outro]
She walks away with a catwalk sway
Turns her head like she knows you’ll stay
Whispers low, “see you around”
Then disappears without a sound
Just a ghost in a neon haze
Leaving you in her dark embrace

[V1]
I was lost today
You showed
Me the way
I was in dismay
You took
The blues away
Without you
Heaven felt so
Far away

[C]
You lift me up
When I fall,
You’re my shelter
Through it all.
Every scar,
Every fight,
You make me strong,
You make me right.
You’re the fire
In my soul

[V2]
I was cold inside
You lit
My darker side
I wanted to hide
But you
Give me pride
You stayed with me
Never broken
By my side

[C]
You lift me up
When I fall,
You’re my shelter
Through it all.
Every scar,
Every fight,
You make me strong
You make me right.
You’re the fire
In my soul

[B]
Words unspoken
Hearts not broken
Love devotion
With your love,
I’m alive,
With your trust,
I survive.

[C]
You lift me up
When I fall,
You’re my shelter
Through it all.
Every scar,
Every fight,
You make me strong
You make me right.
You’re the fire
In my soul

[O]
Through the dark,
Through the pain,
With you
I breathe
I rise
When you call
My name
I’m alive again


WITH YOU
I’M ALIVE AGAIN

[V1]
Black horizon
Fractured skies
Sulphur rain
Burns my eyes
Putrid smell
Flames rising
Heat intensifies
As the
Choir of the damned
Fills the air
With chilling cries

[PC]
The Ferryman waits
With sunken eyes
No emotion
No disguise

[C]
My time is coming
Reaper closed
The door
No more running
One more step
To a never ending
Floor
Standing on the
Edge of hell

[V2]
Ground beneath
Begins to quake
Demons below
Stir awake
Every breath
Could be my last
All my memories
In the past
As I wait
To face my
Fate

[PC]
The Ferryman waits
With sunken eyes
No emotion
No disguise

[C]
My time is coming
Reaper closed
The door
No more running
One more step
To a never ending
Floor
Standing on the
Edge of hell

[B]
I see the gates
Open wide
No fear left
Nowhere to hide
Something calls
It knows my name
Through the fire
I walk unchained

[O ]
No angels
To save my soul
As the
Fire burns below
Unpaid souls
Wander
Left for eternity
As I face damnation
Mercy never came
Standing on the
Edge of hell

STANDING ON THE
EDGE OF HELL

[V1]
I can still feel you
Crawling slithering
Under my skin
A toxic taste
Burning my tongue
Bad smell lingering
Haunting this place
Fight is over
Battle just beginning

[C]
This pain is proof
You can’t change
The truth
It flows through
Your veins
Never stopping
Never asking
It drags you down
Keeps you locked
Forever In chains
All your dreams
Fade into the dark

Fade into the dark

[V2]
Twisted rings
Once so strong
Faded photos
All memories gone
Cawing crow sings
To break
The silence
Will the beast
Be caged
As the pendulum
Swings

[C]
This pain is proof
You can’t change
The truth
It flows through
Your veins
Never stopping
Never asking
It drags you down
Keeps you locked
Forever in chains
All your dreams
Fade into the dark

Fade into the dark

[B]
Shadows twist
Minds turn
Days
Dark
Nights
Long
Ghosts linger
Where light dies
Cold winds
Carry forgotten
Cries
YOU REACH OUT
FOR WHATS LOST
BUT THE DARK
IT KEEPS THEM
LOCKED INSIDE

[C]
This pain is proof
You can’t change
The truth
It flows through
Your veins
Never stopping
Never asking
It drags you down
Keeps you locked
Forever In chains
All your dreams
Fade into the dark

Fade into the dark

[O]
Feelings gone
The fire dies
But your poison
Still lingers inside
Chains break
Yet
The scars remain
In the end
I enjoy the pain
But it’ll never
Be the same

Fade into the dark
Fade into the dark

[V1]
Met this girl
In a Cantina Bar
Wild and free
Shining bright
Like a star
We talked for
Hours
Like no one else
Matters
She told me stories
And dirty jokes
Her infectious
Laughter
Made my heart
Beat faster
I knew from
The start
I’ll always be
Crazy for this
Latino girl

(C)
She had
Sun kissed skin
Dark brown eyes
With
Mystery and surprise
The cutest smile
That pulls you in
And
All the style
Yeah
All the style
She makes me wanna
Wanna wanna baiii—la

V2
Met this girl
In a Cantina bar
Crazy, yeah
But she
Stole my heart
Started
On margaritas
Then
Downed some
Dirty tequilas
Broke the rules
And some glasses
Ran off laughing
Into the night
Like drunken
Love fools

(C)
She had
Sun kissed skin
Dark brown eyes
With
Mystery and surprise
The cutest smile
That pulls you in
And
All the style
Yeah
All the style
She makes me wanna
Wanna wanna baiii—la

[B]
We danced
On the tables
She beat me
At arm wrestles
We went outside
For a smoke
With a
Rum and coke
We kissed for
The first time
It felt
I'd known her
A lifetime
This crazy
Latino Girl

(C)
She had
Sun kissed skin
Dark brown eyes
With
Mystery and surprise
The cutest smile
That draws you in
And
All the style
Yeah
All the style
She makes me wanna
Wanna wanna baiii—la

(Outro)
We danced in the street
Walked on the beach
Watched the sunrise
Kissed for the last time
Said adios
I'll never forget
The day i had
With my
Beautiful latino girl

[Intro]
You said
It'll work out
In time
Just follow my pledge
As you partied
On
Cheese and wine

[V1]
Look at you
In your leather seat
It doesn’t matter
If you’re red or blue
What gives you the right
To lie and cheat
To the average man
In saying
The futures bright
When the countries
Going down the pan

[V2]
You say
There's no money
To help the poor
Would you wanna
Shop at the
Discount store
As you
Live life as a
Celebrity
We fight
The walls of austerity

[C]
You don’t live
Like us
You don’t think
Like us
You don’t bleed
Like us
You don’t walk
Where we walk

[B]
Boats
On the water
Coming
Day and night
Straining
Our streets
Gotta
Get the balance
Right
Heroes fought for
Our right

[V3]
As you go
To your State banquet
People sleeping rough
Under a blanket
Gotta choose between
Food or fuel
Jackets or shoes
This is no way a
Country should feel

[V4]
No room
In the Hospital bed
But you've got
Your private health
You said
Equality for all
But anarchy's knocking
Knocking
On the door

[C]
You don’t live
Like us
You don’t think
Like us
You don’t bleed
Like us
You don’t walk
Where we walk

[O]
We see through
The lies you sell
This is our street
This is our hell
You raised your glass
We raised our voice
You had the power
We had no choice
Now choke on the
Shards
Of the future you
Smashed


The Future you smashed

You was sat
On the bed
When I walked
Into the room
So quiet
So still
No words said
State of emptiness
All I consume

[C]
Your silence is strong
Pulling me to where
I don’t belong
Can’t stay here
Can’t turn away
All my direction
Has gone astray

[V2]
Moonlight shining
Across your face
Time stands still
In this cold place
Our eyes engage
Only I see you
A lost smile
Can this be true

[C]
Your silence is strong
Pulling me to where
I don’t belong
Can’t stay here
Can’t turn away
All my direction
Has gone astray

[B]
You’re everywhere
But nowhere
Full of noise
In this empty
Void
All our dreams
Destroyed

[C]
Your silence is strong
Pulling me to where
I don’t belong
Can’t stay here
Can’t turn away
All my direction
Has gone astray

[O]
As I look
Up to the
Sky
I’m not lost
But not found
As you’re
My guiding Angel
My treasured memory
You fade, but
Your fire
Still burns in me

Your fire
Still burns in me
