Heart Of Ice

I lay in a honey trap

Cast under a spell

Blinded by the love I gave

Jealousy I knew it well

Only had my hopes and dreams

Never any guarantees

Wishing for a perfect day

To love openly


Frozen inside

Frozen inside

How do I melt this heart of ice?

How do I melt this heart of ice?

How do I melt this heart of ice?


I wore so many masks

I don’t know my own face

Tried to hide away the pain

Move to a better place

Living in the eye of the storm

Peace and tranquility

Holding onto my sweet rage

I know it will set me free


Frozen inside

Frozen inside

How do I melt this heart of ice?

How do I melt this heart of ice?

How do I melt this heart of ice?




Behind The Mask

In sleep I’ve been hiding

Try me best to sleep it off

But in each haunted day

In the shadows I will stay

Watching the final flicker

As the candle light dies


Hiding... hiding...

Hiding behind the mask

Biding... biding...

Biding my time at last

Now it’s gotta be, that I

I’ve been set free

From the things holding me

From the things keeping me

Behind the mask


In the rain, I’ve been walking

Trying now to walk it off

In myself, I am finding

So many reasons to pray

Counting up all my blessings

As the rain still falls


Hiding... hiding...

Hiding behind the mask

Biding... biding...

Biding my time at last

Now it’s gotta be, that I

I’ve been set free

From the things holding me

From the things keeping me

Behind the mask


In myself I’ve been losing

Losing sight of who I am

But in the presence of mercy

I found new identity

Trading all worn out passions

For a way to make it true


Finding... Finding...

I’m finding behind the mask

Smiling... Smiling...

I’m smiling now at last

Now it’s gotta be

That I, I’ve been set free

From what was holding me

From what was keeping me

And now it’s gonna be

That I, I’ve been set free

From what was holding me

From what was keeping me

Behind the mask.




Chilling With The Killer

Strange and so moody

Sky gets so gloomy

Days are flying by over my head

I just wanna stay, stay in bed

Sleep away this mortal coil

How my conscience rings

Transgression stings

I just need a little something to do

Something there to get me through

Slip off this mortal coil


Chilling with the killer and I feel fine

I’m tempted in the centre with a bottle of wine

Illusions I was under have melted away

I’m my own worst enemy I know that it’s true

I just need something to get me through

A little something to dull back those days


Bloodshot and weeping

My eyelids they are creeping

Creeping right down over my eyes

Hiding right there within the lies

Shooting up the mortal coil

Mind gets so tangled

Body it gets strangled

Falling down again and again

Waking up with that hazy pain

Shaking off the mortal coil


Chilling with the killer and I feel fine

I’m tempted in the centre with a bottle of wine

Illusions I was under have melted away

I’m my own worst enemy I know that it’s true

I just need something to get me through

A little something to dull back those days


My new psychosis

My own brand of hypnosis

Contact with reality has broken down

The lines are down all over the town

Taking down the mortal coil

My thoughts are distorted

By the news that’s reported

Making life up as I go along

I wish I could be happy but I’m not that strong

Checking out of this mortal coil


Chilling with the killer and I feel fine

I’m tempted in the centre with a bottle of wine

Illusions I was under have melted away

I’m my own worst enemy I know that it’s true

I just need something to get me through

A little something to dull back those days




Summer In Your Smile

It’s in the stillness here I found my place

Where the water hears my song

And the wind it kisses my face

On borrowed ideas I made my way

When I got there I just couldn’t stay

Traded those dreams and found my own

And here with you I feel at home


Bring me back to where I wanna be

Summer in your smile, smiling at me

Feel hot and cold, wish that you’d been told

You feel you’re getting old, you feel like getting old

Rushing headlong through the seasons

Never notice colours for all the wrong reasons

In a traffic jam you try to stay calm

Your heart beating faster, try to stay calm

So bring me back to where I wanna be

With summer in your smile, smiling at me

I know what I want, happy at your side

Summer in your smile, smiling at me


With cautious footsteps unheard we carry on

With our familiar indecision

Let’s leave that all behind

Adverse conditions shall inspire

The scene is set to light the fire

Much more here to remember

Lest we forget, never to regret


Bring me back to where I wanna be

Summer in your smile, smiling at me

Feel hot and cold, wish that you’d been told

You feel you’re getting old, you feel like getting old

Rushing headlong through the seasons

Never notice colours for all the wrong reasons

In a traffic jam you try to stay calm

Your heart beating faster, try to stay calm

So bring me back to where I wanna be

With summer in your smile, smiling at me

I know what I want, happy at your side

Summer in your smile, smiling at me


Bring me back

Bring me back




Beautiful Breakdown

You that have lost all hope

You feel that you cannot cope

You feel that you don’t belong

Your self loathing is too strong

You lost in consolation

You hide in isolation

The message that you want to send

To your loved ones at the end


Breakdown... Breakdown

Take down, Melt down

All around, Shake down

Breakdown...

It’s a beautiful breakdown


Those that jump through the hoops

Whose mind it spins in loops

Those that iron out the creases

But the problem never ceases

Those afraid to face up to life

Those brave enough never to care

Just around the corner grab some cash

There’s no time to waste just your life


Breakdown... Breakdown

Take down, Melt down

All around, Shake down

Breakdown...

It’s a beautiful breakdown




Forgotten Identity

Do you remember how you used to be?

Or have you forgotten your identity?

Before all this shit got in the way

You used to say whatever you wanted to say

Now the time it has become years

You’re still drowning in those unshed tears

Oh I can’t believe you got this bad

Looking at you, it makes me glad

And so as the rain it starts to fall

Now there’s little left for you to do

I just wonder what about your passion

You swapped it for their fashions

And I could really use a break now

But I don’t know how much time to take now

Oh we use to be, we used to be so really close

But somehow we drifted apart

So I can ask you because I asked myself

Do you remember who used to be?

Do you remember who used to be?

Before you lost your identity

Before you sold your identity

Before you gave up the ghost

Before you gave up the ghost




White Horse

I was not the one to ride

The white horse to the other side

I drew a line in the sand

Taking hold of winters hand

Shades are drawn so hide away

In abandon to love this day

I don’t want but I need

Voices from a dream to plant the seed


For you deserve a love

That’s worthy of you


Buried deep away from sight

Secrets kept and held so tight

Random prayers and speechless cries

Love of the ancients never dies

Golden streams paint the sky

Day breaks gently and makes me high

The white horse it runs so free

Far from here and far from me


For you deserve a love

That’s worthy of you


For you deserve a love

That’s worthy of you




Light Of The World

From out of this darkness comes the light that I need

It’s the light on which I know that I must feed


Let the spirit be still let the light shine on

Let the spirit be still let the light shine on


Let the light reveal all the darkness in me

Put aside my selfish ways and let me be free


Lay down your troubles and worries

Lay them down let’s move to the light

Lay down your troubles and worries

Lay them down let’s move to the light


Go through the light into the brightest side of day

Go through the light you know it will show you the way


Let the spirit be still let the light shine on

Let the spirit be still let the light shine on


The light of the world is showing the way that is true

There’s a fork in the road ahead and it’s waiting for you


Lay down your troubles and worries

Lay them down let’s move to the light

Lay down your troubles and worries

Lay them down let’s move to the light


From out of this darkness comes the light that I need

It’s the light on which I know that I must feed




Magic Magnetism

Out of the chaos, beautiful chaos

Out of the chaos I fall

Into abandon, absolute abandon

Into abandon I walk

Taste the enchantment, sweet enchantment

Taste the enchantment on my lips

Following persuasion, precious persuasion

Following persuasion I will


With a magnetism, magic magnetism

With a magnetism I feel

With a magnetism, magic magnetism

With a magnetism I feel


Linking a dream, close in a dream

Link a dream I share

Into the light, wondrous light

Into the light I am drawn

Out from the darkness, isolated darkness

Out from the darkness, I emerge

Casting off the coldness, solitary coldness,

Casting off the coldness I reveal.


With a magnetism, magic magnetism

With a magnetism I feel

With a magnetism, magic magnetism

With a magnetism I feel




Staying In The Moment

Isolated out there on the edge of my every dream

In the register between a whisper and a scream

Deep within the hard coding that makes up my being

Sensations of foreboding, fear junkies on the scene


Staying in the moment... in the moment

In the moment I feel

Staying in the moment... just the moment

Staying in the moment I feel


I believe in the light within me, it’s shining fearlessly

Vibrating at the speed of life, tuned into the frequency

Founded in the laws of the universe, attracting energy

My every thought outflows, the love I give and receive


Staying in the moment... in the moment

In the moment I feel

Staying in the moment... just the moment

Staying in the moment I feel


I have loved and lost, but I never stopped believing

In the plan of Mother Universe, and the message I was receiving

She had a plan that I had to trust, and now it’s all revealing

To know love and to give love

It’s the most beautiful feeling


Staying in the moment... in the moment

In the moment I feel

Staying in the moment... just the moment

Staying in the moment I feel




Learning To Forgive

So I took a long walk, faced the wilderness

Like a reckless Cherokee, armed with bitterness

A warrior of loss, hunted and despised

Mistrust and broken dreams, reflected in my eyes


It’s more than just a process, of elimination

Stretched beyond belief, in strange imagination

Based within a method, of learning how to live

With penitence and progress, learning to forgive


In the flicker of an eye, in the beat of a heart

It can all get swept away, it can all fall apart

As the candles burn down, and the room grows dark

In the silence that returns, I can feel the spark


It’s more than just a process, of elimination

Stretched beyond belief, in strange imagination

Based within a method, of learning how to live

With penitence and progress, learning to forgive


As the shades and shadows, of the years remain

Prompting long lost memories, bringing back new pain

I watched those eyes that flash there, in the light of the fire

Saw the fire as it died down, and burned away


It’s more than just a process, of elimination

Stretched beyond belief, in strange imagination

Based within a method, of learning how to live

With penitence and progress, learning to forgive
