Birth Of The Bird 04:08
lyrics

Take a long hard look at the flames So inviting they look, I can tell you that they’re not Let the image burn itself into your brain Like a bad memory This was my prison, this was my home For sixteen long years But now I get to, fly away No burdens on my back This is, the birth of the bird His voice will soothe your mind This is, the birth of the bird His tears will mend your broken heart From the ashes I rise Born again from the flames To fight again by your side When times get hard As long as I’m there You will survive This I can promise you This is, the birth of the bird His voice will soothe your mind This is, the birth of the bird His tears will mend your broken heart your broken heart I’ll only appear to you when you need me Just call my name and I’ll be there To heal you, from the pain that you endure I’ll be the fire in your life This is, the birth of the bird This is, the birth of the bird This is, the birth of the bird His voice will soothe your mind This is, the birth of the bird His tears will mend your broken heart your broken heart, your broken heart

Why 05:24
lyrics

Losing you was the hardest thing that I’ve ever done I never said you could walk away; I can’t survive on my own But you left without asking, never saying goodbye I need a shoulder to cry on and I keep asking myself Why? Have I lost you? Why? Did you have to go? Why? Do I shed a tear, for someone that’s gone? I keep telling myself that I’ll see you tomorrow But when tomorrow comes, you’re never there How long will it take? For me to realise! That I’m not going to see you, alive again with these eyes Why? Have I lost you? Why? Did you have to go? Why? Do I shed a tear, for someone that’s gone? All I have are these memories, but I want more! You can’t have left me, just slammed shut the door! They say when we die, we go up to heaven But you can’t hold, clouds and sky Why? Have I lost you? Why? Did you have to go? Why? Do I shed a tear, for someone that’s gone? Why? Have I lost you? Why? Did you have to go? Why? Do I shed a tear, for someone that’s gone?

Dance With You 04:31
lyrics

When I saw you walking across that dance floor I felt like dancing with the fires of love, at my feet So I took you in my arms and spun you round Never wanting this night to end I let the music take control of me And invited you to join along By moving your feet and dancing with me I can see that you are mine When I look into your eyes I can see that I’ve made the right choice When I hold you in my arms I can feel your heartbeat next to mine Feel the rhythm of the beats Let it open your soul Follow my lead and let yourself go I can show you the way But if the music should ever stop I won’t leave you to dance alone If you should ever fall I won’t stop and stare I’ll pick you up and hold you close Then kiss you, gently and then smile, smile, smile, smile I can guide you along The path that we both chose If you listen to me and trust my voice We will go far When I look into your eyes I can see that I’ve made the right choice When I hold you in my arms I know, I know, I know When I look into your eyes I can see that I’ve made the right choice When I hold you in my arms I can feel your heartbeat next to mine

Smiling Through The Pain 03:59
lyrics

You can’t go through life Feeling down and alone When your not, you’re not alone When you fool your friends into thinking your happy All you gotta do, yes, all you gotta do is All you gotta do is turn that frown upside down And then you’ll be… Smiling through the pain, because you are not alone 
Let your happiness guide you through And know that when your friends are with you You’re smiling through the pain Of the death of sadness You may think that you’re not loved, by your friends But let me tell you that The love from your friends is strong enough To break through, to break through To break through the sadness And then you’ll be… Smiling through the pain, because you are not alone 
Let your happiness guide you through And know that when your friends are with you You’re smiling through the pain Of the death of sadness Don’t let sadness overtake your mind, be happy, be happy Don’t let sadness bring you down Lock you up and throw away the key All you gotta do, yes, all you gotta do is All you gotta do is turn that frown upside down And then you’ll be… Smiling through the pain, because you are not alone 
Let your happiness guide you through And know that when your friends are with you You’re smiling through the pain Oh yeah, 'cause you are not alone 
Let your happiness guide you through And know that when your friends are with you You’re smiling through the pain From the death of sadness

You’re my world, my universe You’re all I’ve ever wanted And you’re all I’ll ever need Never want you to go Never want you to leave All I really want right now, is you here with me I’ll be there when you fall I’ll be there when you land To catch you in my arms I’ll be there when you sleep I’ll be there when you wake To welcome you into the day, baby My one and only Ever since we met, I’ve wondered what we had Was it really friendship, or something more than that? ‘Cause I really think, there’s so much more The future’s in our hands now baby The plans are on the floor I’ll be there when you fall I’ll be there when you land To catch you in my arms I’ll be there when you sleep I’ll be there when you wake To welcome you into the day, baby My one and only So wonderful, I never knew That someone for me, could be you I’ll be there when you fall I’ll be there when you land To catch you in my arms I’ll be there when you sleep I’ll be there when you wake To welcome you into the day, baby My one and only I’ll be there when you fall I’ll be there when you land To catch you in my arms I’ll be there when you sleep I’ll be there when you wake To welcome you into the day, baby My one and only You’re my world, my universe You were all I ever wanted and now You’re all I’ll need All I’ll ever need

Another Mistake 03:35

Circle’s come to an end and now I’ve moved on Back to the start but where did I go wrong? Feels like I’ve lost a friend All I want is for my life to end But I’m scared ‘cause I think I’m going to make Another mistake Did you really think we’d last this long? Without something major going wrong How can you live with what you did to me? Stopped my heart so cruelly But maybe I don’t wish that I could turn back time Turn back time How can you live with what you did to me? Stopped my heart so cruelly All I want to do is forget you But my head, won’t let me go Feels like I’ve lost a friend All I want is for my life to end But I’m scared ‘cause I think I’m going to make Another mistake

Love's The Losing Game 04:32
lyrics

Love, it is a terrible thing, when you let it into your heart All it really does to you, is tear you apart Can you see that love is bad? Oh but you’ll never learn Boys and girls all over the world Your hearts will burn ‘Cause love’s the losing game Now I’ve given up on love, I’ve finally seen the light Now I’ve learned there is no prize, for winning the fight Can you see that love is bad? Oh but you’ll never learn Boys and girls all over the world Your hearts will burn ‘Cause love’s the losing game Did you really give your heart to love? Or was it taken away? Never to return to you On a sunny day You need your heart to live Primarily to love But is it all really worth the pain? Can you see that love is bad? Oh but you’ll never learn Boys and girls all over the world Your hearts will burn (Your hearts will burn) Burn, burn (Can you see that love is bad?) Burn, burn (Oh but you’ll never learn) Burn, burn (Boys and girls all over the world) Burn (Your hearts will burn) Love's the losing game (Your hearts will burn) Love's the losing game

Guess you want to know what’s happened in my life A lot of failed relationships Some that never started right But now I’ve lost my wings and I can’t fly Fly Away I can’t fly up to the sky anymore The break in my heart has caused my wings to die Look at me, try to fix me please I don’t want to be a fallen angel no more, no God knows that I try and I try But at the end of it all I do is cry and cry When I tell a girl I love her and I mean it It always ends badly for me I can’t see how they find it so easy To break my heart, now I can’t… Fly Away I can’t fly up to the sky anymore The break in my heart has caused my wings to die Look at me, try to fix me please I don’t want to be a fallen angel no more, no How long am I doomed to be lonely Is it really for the rest of my life How I long to find someone who loves me And ask her if she’ll be my wife Fly Away I can’t fly up to the sky anymore The break in my heart has caused my wings to die Look at me, try to fix me please I don’t want to be a fallen angel no more No more, no More No more, no more

Yes baby I know I lied to you I said there’d be no other girls for me But I want you to know It was always you that I wanted Yes baby I know I broke your heart so many times before Now let me repair it I am only asking you For a few minutes of your time I know the things I did to you were unkind And now I’m saying sorry How could I hurt you so easily? When I looked deep inside your soul How could I not see? The amount of love you had for me Countless times I’ve dreamed in my mind What my life would be like If I had you by my side I wouldn’t need to worry As the time passes by My mind won’t change So please tell me you decided What you’re gonna do with your life I know the things I did to you were unkind And now I’m saying sorry How could I hurt you so easily? When I looked deep inside your soul How could I not see? The amount of love you had for me And I hope that the love you felt for me, hasn’t changed I hope that in your mind you feel the same If that is true then come to me and hold me tight Because it has been always you I know the things I did to you were unkind And now I’m saying sorry How could I hurt you so easily? When I looked deep inside your soul How could I not see? The amount of love you had for me The amount of love you had for me The amount of love you had for me

Never Knowing, Always Guessing 04:17
lyrics

Do you ever get the feeling? You’re in a different world Not part of what’s going on around you Looking out through a window Tempted just to break the glass So that you can be included Come to me and tell your problems There’s no doubt I can probably solve them Because I’ve been in that situation Never knowing, what the next day will bring Always guessing, how the hell I’m still living I can’t seem to find the answer anymore, no Stuck behind a solid brick wall Unable to move forward Is this what I’m to live like now? Someone who cannot seem To get ahead in life Always fixed in position Come to me and tell your problems There’s no doubt I can probably solve them Because I’ve been in that situation Never knowing, what the next day will bring Always guessing, how the hell I’m still living I can’t seem to find the answer anymore, no Some may think I lead a good life Let me open your eyes This what I have to put up with Now tell me, do you think its right? Never knowing, what the next day will bring Always guessing, how the hell I’m still living I can’t seem to find the answer anymore, no

Little Bird 05:22

Each day I sit and look out of my window At the lonesome bird that sits across the way I can’t stop my mind from thinking Why he doesn’t fly away Little bird, why do you still sit there? Little bird, it’s time for you to go Little bird, you need to live your life out to the full So go and find your way The very next day, I gaze out through the glass I’m not surprised to see him sitting there Just peering over the tall trees and the buildings I wonder what he’s looking for I wonder what he’s looking for Little bird, why do you still sit there? Little bird, it’s time for you to go Little bird, you need to live your life out to the full So go and find your way I see you sitting on the roof You must think how sad my life must be To be trapped in my own cage Never able to be free Then you spread your wings and fly away Leaving me in jealousy To stare out through the bars With no lock and no key Little bird, why do you still sit here? Little bird, it’s time for you to go Little bird, you need to live your life out to the full So go and find your way

Prove Your Love 04:08

I wonder what it’d be like If I ended it now The consequences that I would face Wouldn’t bother me Do you honestly think I’ll be missed? Somehow I don’t believe you Who on Earth would miss me? Give me a list and you might change my mind Don’t you find it hard to prove that you’re wanted, in this world? Don’t you find it hard to prove that you’re loved, by someone? You say you love me but I know it’s not true I can see it in your eyes And when I hold you, you shiver too I can see through your lies Don’t you find it hard to prove that you’re wanted, in this world? Don’t you find it hard to prove that you’re loved, by someone? The only way that you can prove your love to me is by staying by my side But I bet you find that hard to do when you want to leave Don’t you find it hard to prove that you’re wanted, in this world? Don’t you find it hard to prove that you’re loved, by someone?

Betwixt The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea 04:34

You feel helpless when you know it’s not help you need You feel frightened but don’t worry; your faith will pull you through You scream out loud but your guardian angel can’t hear you You know there’s no-one there to keep you alive Who can help you when you’re betwixt the devil and the deep blue sea? You are lost without a cause The devil’s got you in his grasp and he won’t let you go It’s undeniable, He’s undefiable You’re gone now, taken from this world You feel the heat as you’re dragged deeper into hell Your blood begins to boil as your body begins to swell The devil turns to you and whispers in your ear You best make yourself at home ‘Cause now your mine Who can help you when you’re betwixt the devil and the deep blue sea? You are lost without a cause The devil’s got you in his grasp and he won’t let you go It’s undeniable, He’s undefiable You’re gone now, taken from this world Countless times you try to escape But the gates of hell won’t open for you Year after year you rot away Burning for your sins Who can help you when you’re betwixt the devil and the deep blue sea? You are lost without a cause The devil’s got you in his grasp and he won’t let you go It’s undeniable, He’s undefiable You’re gone now, taken from this world Taken from this world

You were looking for Romeo, I was looking for Juliet You were caught in a thunderstorm; I was the shelter up ahead You were praying for your Prince Charming I was praying that you’d see me You were looking for a happy ending; I saw mine in front of me So I took your hand while you were in the rain I couldn’t find words to explain And all this time the rain poured down Who knew this would be our favourite sound Cause like how the rain falls down to the ground I’m falling down, and they’re the words I can’t say I’m stalling around you You’re all that I adore, you’re my whole world and you’re Like the sweet scent of a summer morning and the whole world in bloom There was a day when I thought love was done But through the rain I thought I saw the sun There are no words to describe, how we both felt inside Yet every night I would always pray I’d see the day when I held you in my arms But when I woke you’d still be gone leaving me wondering where I’d gone wrong So I took your hand while you were in the rain I couldn’t find words to explain And all this time the rain poured down Who knew this would be our favourite sound Cause like how the rain falls down to the ground I’m falling down, and they’re the words I can’t say I’m stalling around you You’re all that I adore, you’re my whole world and you’re Like the sweet scent of a summer morning and the whole world in bloom As the raindrops fall down, other loves will drown But ours will always survive You and I we’ve got something going on Our hearts can see it, our minds believe it, But baby let’s make it real I’m falling down, and they’re the words I can’t say I’m stalling around you You’re all that I adore, you’re my whole world and you’re Like the sweet scent of a summer morning and the whole world in bloom

Began to write music upon turning 12, Starting a debut album Birth Of The Bird near the time my grandma passed on. Consisting of songs based on real life events that happened during early 2008, with later albums, continuing along that theme. I produce songs that are full of emotion, so they end up becoming stories more than songs. ... more
