The Man Behind The Music 05:30
lyrics
buy track
There's a shadow of a person, locked inside of me And He's fighting to get out How His heart longs, to see the light of day But I can't, break the lock Too scared of the consequence He'll face And the wounds that He'll obtain This cause that He's fighting for With no glory to His name This is the real me The man behind the music Hidden behind a mask, shrouded in the dark Living life in the shadows This is the true me All frightened and afraid Where do i go now, now that I am changed I have nothing to hide behind anymore It's my life and my love that I'll lose If I'm defeated in battle No second chances or ways to confuse No I ain't coming back but I won't give up the fight This is the real me The man behind the music Hidden behind a mask, shrouded in the dark Living life in the shadows This is the true me All frightened and afraid Where do i go now, now that I am changed I have nothing to hide behind anymore I have no where to run and no way of getting there if I did And I seem to have nowhere that I belong I don't want to have to give up again Always hiding behind a song This is the real me The man behind the music Hidden behind a mask, shrouded in the dark Living life in the shadows This is the true me All frightened and afraid Where do i go now, now that I am changed I have nothing to hide behind anymore

Close At Hand 04:18
lyrics

This distance, I can't take it anymore So far away from everything, stranded on the shore Baby you can find me if you try Just reach out your hand and feel me holding tight Use my voice as the beacon which pulls you close to me I'll be your guiding light in the shadows Just tune your heart to me And you will surely see That I'm close at hand Loneliness, not like anything you've experienced It will bring you to your knees so you can't breathe I need you now, I need you more than ever Tell me you can hear me Calling out! Use my voice as the beacon which pulls you close to me I'll be your guiding light in the shadows Just tune your heart to me And you will surely see That I'm close at hand I long to be held in your arms Promise me that when you find me You'll never let me go Use my voice as the beacon which pulls you close to me I'll be your guiding light in the shadows Just tune your heart to me And you will surely see That I'm close at hand

Just Want To Smile 02:28
lyrics

I used to think, that life was so sad But now I've found my reason for living Oo oo, yeah. I've been alone, for most of my life, But now I have some one to lean on And I just want to smile, for once in my life And I don't really care if what I'm feeling is right I know I'm lucky, to be with you I'm so happy, do you feel it too I just want to smile and I would not change a thing (I would not change a thing about you) (I would not change a thing about you) I used to be a wayward wanderer Walking down my path alone Hmmm hmm But each of us needs that person Who can pull them through the pain Will you be the one for me I just want to smile, for once in my life And I don't really care if what I'm feeling is right I know I'm lucky, to be with you Oh but I'm happy, do you feel it too I just want to smile and I would not change a thing (I would not change a thing about you) (I would not change a thing about you) Oh babe you know it's true, you put a smile on my face Like no one else can do Can't wait till we're alone, the things I'll do to you Right now your heart's my home And I would not change a thing I would not change a thing And I would not change a thing about you

For a while now, I've been wanting a different life than this But I hide away my true identity, locked in the closet (But now)Now I cannot hide (I can't hide) I'll face the light (Face the light) I am not ashamed (Not ashamed) Yes you heard me right Here I am, this is me, I've made my choice of who I'm going to be Now I look for love in the arms of another and you just don't compare To this different kind of love oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh different kind of love oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh different kind of love I never thought that I could fall in love with you But I'm falling more every single day I feel comfortable saying those three words to you And I can't see myself changing (But now)Now I cannot hide (I can't hide) I'll face the light (Face the light) I am not ashamed (Not ashamed) Yes you heard me right Here I am, this is me, I've made my choice of who I'm going to be Now I look for love in the arms of another and you just don't compare To this different kind of love oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh different kind of love oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh different kind of love I've tried other types of love before But this is the one that feels right I can't remember a time when I have been happier Than the way I felt with you last night Oh yeah, oh yeah Here I am, this is me, I've made my choice of who I'm going to be Now I look for love in the arms of another and you just don't compare To this different kind of love oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh different kind of love oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh different kind of love

You don't let anyone push you around Because you've already set out your life Got a plan written on a piece of paper Locked up in a box, in the back of your mind I think you know the secret Those who plan will go far You can be what you want to be, if you put your mind to it You'll have people trying to put you down, but don't let them do it If you're strong, wise and proud of yourself You will find the way, oh yeah, 'cause I believe in you You have made a serious choice But don't worry there are others like you It's the friends in life that we love That'll guide us through I think you know the secret Those who love will go far You can be what you want to be, if you put your mind to it You'll have people trying to put you down, but don't let them do it If you're strong, wise and proud of yourself You will find the way, oh yeah, 'cause I believe in you You don't know how much you mean to me Or how much I am praying for you to succeed You're my friend and I will love you forever You'll find the way it's true Cause I believe in you I believe in you I believe in you

Would You Cry? 05:52
lyrics

(W-w-would you cry?) (W-w-would you cry?) If I was left alone from the start would it hurt this much? When you came to reach for my hand Should I have pulled away to avoid your touch? I believed your words and I fell again Now I'm left to wonder if you can even feel (Would you cry?) If you can feel anything at all (Would you cry?) My touch, the embraces, my heart breaking as I'm frozen in place Can you tell me would you feel it, would you? If I was to leave today would you cry? (Would you cry?) If I fell in a hole and was lost would you cry? (Would you cry?) If I was lying in a hospital bed, bleeding from my head Would you cry? (W-w-would you cry?) If i was to sleep forever would you cry? (Would you cry?) If I was gone never to return would you cry? (Would you cry?) If i was gonna end it all today Slit my throat and say: "I'm never coming back" (Would you cry?) Would you cry? (W-w-would you cry?) (W-w-would you cry?) Standing in front of you, am I so invisible? Becoming a ghost of your past Pale and cold how I miss your warmth Can't you feel me, reaching for your cold and shadowed face? Can't you feel anything at all?! My touch, the embraces, my heart breaking as I'm frozen in place Can you tell me would you feel it, would you? If I was to leave today would you cry? (Would you cry?) If I fell in a hole and was lost would you cry? (Would you cry?) If I was lying in a hospital bed, bleeding from my head Would you cry? (W-w-would you cry?) If i was to sleep forever would you cry? (Would you cry?) If I was gone never to return would you cry? (Would you cry?) If i was gonna end it all today Slit my throat and say: "I'm never coming back" (Would you cry?) Would you cry? Your porcelain doll, my face frozen within these tears How long has it been, since you noticed my fears Cracked and broken, I'm losing my mind I don't think I can stay like this till the end of time If I was to leave today would you cry? (Would you cry?) If I fell in a hole and was lost would you cry? (Would you cry?) If I was lying in a hospital bed, bleeding from my head Would you cry? (W-w-would you cry?) If i was to sleep forever would you cry? (Would you cry?) If I was gone never to return would you cry? (Would you cry?) If i was gonna end it all today Slit my throat and say: "I'm never coming back" (Would you cry?) "I'm never coming back" (Would you cry?) "No, I'm never coming back" (Would you cry?) Would you cry? Would you cry? (Would you cry?) Would you cry? (Would you cry?) Would you cry? (Would you cry?) Would you cry?

(Just let me go, just let me go) I always promised that I keep you safe, Locked in my memory (Just let me go) But lately I've been thinking you're putting too much strain on me (Just let me go) And I'm starting to hate all the little things That prevent me from moving on from you If you really wanted me, you'd have made up your mind (You'd have made up your mind) I'm not the type of person, to be held behind (To be held behind) Long ago I decided, that I'd had enough (I decided I'd had enough) And it's not fair, just not fair that you're still holding on Just let me go. (Just let me go, just let me go) I've felt a recent change in me, that I cannot define (Just let me go) The way you are acting now, is way out of line (Just let me go) And I'm starting to hate all the little things That prevent me from moving on from you If you really wanted me, you'd have made up your mind (You'd have made up your mind) I'm not the type of person, to be held behind (To be held behind) Long ago I decided, that I'd had enough (I decided I'd had enough) And it's not fair, just not fair that you're still holding on Just let me go. There's no easy way to say this But you're no longer the one I adore I've had a sudden change of heart But you never really cared at all, cause... If you really wanted me, you'd have made up your mind (You'd have made up your mind) I'm not the type of person, to be held behind (To be held behind) Long ago I decided, that I'd had enough (I decided I'd had enough) And it's not fair, just not fair that you're still holding on Just let me go. (Just let me go, just let me go)

Well you came to me, when I was weak And you found a broken heart (Dream walker) With the words you spoke, you gave me hope That I could move on (Come with me) So I take your hand And hold you close (Come with me) So that I won't have to face the world alone Let me show you what your dreams contain You'll be surprised Let me take you beyond the layer of stars Just open your eyes I won't let you down, if you put faith in me Just lend me your heart and I'll show you your fantasy (Dream walker, come with me) (Dream walker, kiss me) (Dream walker, kiss me) (Dream walker) Well your kiss is like the summer breeze on my face When I'm awake But when I'm asleep and softly dreaming I see you with me in this place (Come with me) So I take your hand And hold you close (Come with me) So that I won't have to face the world alone Let me show you what your dreams contain You'll be surprised Let me take you beyond the layer of stars Just open your eyes I won't let you down, if you put faith in me Just lend me your heart and I'll show you your fantasy I walk hand in hand with you in my mind It feels so easy But when morning comes I'm going to have to wake up So I fly with scarlet wings, holding you in my arms Never letting go...(Dream walker) Let me show you what your dreams contain You'll be surprised Let me take you beyond the layer of stars Just open your eyes I won't let you down, if you put faith in me Just lend me your heart and I'll show you your fantasy (Dream walker) Let me show you what your dreams contain You'll be surprised Let me take you beyond the layer of stars Just open your eyes (Open your eyes) I won't let you down, if you put faith in me Just lend me your heart and I'll show you your fantasy

You need to learn The meaning of no You need to learn When You break my heart, that I can take But when You target my friends for Your evil games That's not right and it makes me believe That You're just a fool to love Did anybody tell You the meaning of no? And that You can't always have what You want I hope someone hurts You And then You'll get what You deserve 'Cause You don't deserve anyone You need to learn The meaning of no You need to learn I'll keep a watch, from the corner of my eye Over You and my friend to make sure that You try To shower them with the love that You kept Hidden away from me Did anybody tell You the meaning of no? And that You can't always have what You want I hope someone hurts You And then You'll get what You deserve 'Cause You don't deserve anyone For the way that You hurt me I will never forget You And that You can hold me to We could of made each other happy If only You'd of noticed I was there for You But You had Your reasons for turning me away So I hope You get what's coming to You Did anybody tell You the meaning of no? And that You can't always have what You want I hope someone hurts You And then You'll get what You deserve 'Cause You don't deserve anyone You need to learn The meaning of no You need to learn The meaning of no You need to, you need to learn You need to, you need to learn The meaning of no

(Sepia tone my life) (Sepia tone my life, sepia tone my life) You turn off the lights and I'll light up a candle Tonight we'll lay down by the fire We don't have to leave this house until the winter's over 'Cause all I need is by my side This year let's do something different together (Sepia tone my life, sepia tone my life) Take me back through time, a hundred years or more Let me see life through your eyes Sepia tone the life I once knew'cause I want to lift this disguise It's like looking through a mirror at the world that came before Just break the glass, take my hand, try to help me understand The life that we have planned for me and my victorian lover (Sepia tone my life) (Sepia tone my life, sepia tone my life) As we watch the snowflakes fall Outside our window I think about all those years before And how nothing's changed at all This year let's do something different together (Sepia tone my life, sepia tone my life) Take me back through time, a hundred years or more Let me see life through your eyes Sepia tone the life I once knew 'cause I want to lift this disguise It's like looking through a mirror at the world that came before Just break the glass, take my hand, try to help me understand The life that we have planned for me and my victorian lover But like a wish on Christmas morn, you disappear with the snow And leave that world, that you used, empty and alone Another year's over, yet everything's the same Next year will you remember my name? Take me back through time, a hundred years or more And let me see life through your eyes Sepia tone the life I once knew 'cause I want to lift this disguise It's like looking through a mirror at the world that came before Just break the glass, take my hand, try to help me understand The life that we had planned for me and my victorian lover Victorian lover (Sepia tone my life) Sepia tone my life, sepia tone my life (Sepia tone my life, sepia tone my life) My victorian lover

One In A Million 04:09

(Maybe you're, one in a million) (Maybe you're, one in a million) (One in a million, one in a million) People search for most of their lives But lack the passion to want the reason why The person they are trying to find Makes them feel this way Are our destinies predefined? And do men only have a one track mind? If women are from Venus, are men from Mars? And is it only blood flowing through our hearts? If reproduction is the aim of the game Let's change the rules tonight How can you play with my mind How do you control my emotions When you're not a God Maybe you're one in a million When you got out of my bed And left me here all alone You took a piece of my heart Baby you're one in a million (Maybe you're, one in a million) (Maybe you're, one in a million) I'll only lose it this one time It's pretty clear, I've made up my mind Please wake me up I think I'm dreaming How else am I right here with you? To you I'd give my heart and soul And in return you'd give me the world Together we'd be unstoppable However, it's impossible If reproduction is the aim of the game Let's change the rules tonight How can you play with my mind How do you control my emotions When you're not a God Maybe you're one in a million When you got out of my bed And left me here all alone You took a piece of my heart Baby you're one in a million (Maybe you're, one in a million) (Maybe you're, one in a million) No matter where I go, you'll always be right here I'll never forget that night with you And though there's someone else, for me you were the one And will always be, one in a million If reproduction is the aim of the game Let's change the rules tonight How can you play with my mind How do you control my emotions When you're not a God Maybe you're one in a million When you got out of my bed And left me here all alone You took a piece of my heart Baby you're one in a million (Maybe you're, one in a million) (Maybe you're, one in a million)

Prince Pheonix Runcorn, UK

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
