Cotton wool 04:55
Sometimes it feels like Someone is watching me I can feel their eyes upon me. I´m seldom lonely I´m never on my own I don´t know who it is or why they care. It hurts me to see myself as being so naive, It makes me wonder why you care. I was so comfortable wrapped up in cotton wool, I didn´t see that you were scared. It hurts me, it pains me. I´m sorry babe! I didn´t see that you were scared. So just for once don´t leave me hanging in the dark. It hurts me to see myself as being so naive, It makes me wonder why you care. I was so comfortable wrapped up in cotton wool, I didn´t see that you were scared.

I´m coming on strong It´s coming out all wrong, but at least i´m trying. It´s all going south i´ve put my foot in my mouth I hate to see you crying. I try to be kind going out of my mind can´t stand the lying. Just give it to me straight it´s never too late our love is dying. It can be hard to tell when you are joking Northern lights are beckoning siren song evoking. Since I saw you there without a single care my hearts been yearning. I´ve been up all night you gave me such a fright my stomach´s turning. It can be hard to tell when you are joking Your eyes emit an amber glow my soul starts floating. In hindsight I realise it all started with a kiss. It´s so hard to visualise gazing into the abyss. I´m coming on strong It´s coming out all wrong, but at least i´m trying. Just give it to me straight it´s never too late our love is dying. It can be hard to tell when you are joking Life´s like a kaleidoscope of misunderstandings.

Kaos 05:39
My name is Kaos and I rule your world. My roar is deafening yet remains unheard. If you ever reach me it will be too late. Your soul with wither as will your fate. Running away just doesn´t help at all (I´m running away now unless you make it show) If you don´t change yourself you´ll surely fall from grace again. Your hatred, it brings me down. Be silent, don´t make a sound. My name is Kaos and I rule your world. My roar is deafening yet remains unheard. If we ever reach the point of no return I shall unleash and i´ll watch you burn. Nothing is real unless you make it so. (I´m running away now) If you don´t change yourself you´ll surely fall. Running away just doesn´t help at all (I´m running away now unless you make it show) If you don´t change yourself you´ll surely fall from grace again. Your hatred, it brings me down. Be silent, don´t make a sound.

Just because 06:04
Just because you know that i´m wrong and just because you know i´m not strong doesn´t mean that you can re-arrange me. Just because you know that i´m strong and just because you know i´m not wrong doesn´t mean that you can re-arrange me. Even though you´re already gone and even though your memory lives on doesn´t mean that you can stay and haunt me. Even though i´m already gone and even though i´ll never return doesn´t mean that you can choose to forget me. I look into your eyes and I can visualise that way down deep inside is good. Just because you know that i´m wrong and just because you know i´m not strong doesn´t mean that you can re-arrange me. Just because you know that i´m strong and just because you know i´m not wrong doesn´t mean that you can re-arrange me. So look into my eyes and you will realise that way down deep inside is good.

There´s no one, no, no one quite like you. My dreams of fulfilment have come true. I sing “la, la, la..” Maybe i´d be totally and utterly lost without you. I sing “la, la, la..” There´s no one, no, no one quite like you. My dreams of fulfillment have come true. I sing “la, la, la..”

To & fro 06:30
Subversive thoughts lined up in a row I digress as you stare out the window My words dissolving, ebbing to & fro Your gaze lost in the hedgerow Your mother left you all alone You sought to find a brand new home You never found the sanctuary An obvious necessity Violence invades your velvet voice Your willpower deprived of choice An unwelcome stranger invading our space Loneliness giving us a cold embrace Your mother left you all alone You sought to find a brand new home You never found the sanctuary An obvious necessity At bullet speed we race through time History no friend of mine Somewhere to rest, perchance to dream is hard to find, or so may seem To & fro Oh Control myself and i´ll be fine Come satisfy my needs Come dawn the sun will start to shine Put an end to evil deeds Your mother left you all alone You sought to find a brand new home You never found the sanctuary An obvious necessity At bullet speed we race through time History no friend of mine Somewhere to rest, perchance to dream is hard to find, or so may seem To & fro Oh

Wretch 04:43
Please don´t tell anyone I was here If they ever found out I´d be in real trouble So please don´t tell anyone I was here if they ever found out I´d be in real trouble The first time I saw your face I could hardly believe my eyes I knew that i´d seen you before Just couldn´t picture where or when Now I know I can visualise the location... Please don´t tell anyone I was here If they ever found out I´d be in real trouble I could never go home again So please don´t tell anyone I was here I´m a wretch, i´m a wretch I´m a real wretch A real wretch Spare me Spare me Spare me So please don´t tell anyone I was here Please don´t tell anyone I was here If they ever found out I´d be in real trouble

Can you hear me? Can you see me? Can you feel me? I can´t tell I am constantly hovering up here floating on my own I have never felt so familiar yet so far from home Can you hear me? Can you see me? I can feel you But you can´t tell Uncaged birds with broken wings Confused identity We cannot hear We cannot see We cannot feel much at all We´re uncaged birds with broken wings It is dark now I don´t know how Politicians sleep at night This mass-produced wool is constantly covering our eyes A blanket of insecurity feeding us lies Uncaged birds with broken wings Confused identity We cannot hear We cannot see We cannot feel much at all We´re uncaged birds with broken wings As the sun begins to rise i´m beginning to realise We´re distracted by a roses thorn as we transcend from dusk to dawn Uncage the birds This flock is huge I´m trying to find myself and nobody else

These words 03:39
These words are mine These words are said Don´t hide your tears it´s too late Used to be just you and me These words are mine These words are said Open wide and never end Never to be young and fade again Open your heart I´m here for you All of these memories Stay in our hearts These words are mine These words are said Don´t hide your tears it´s too late Used to be just you and me These words are mine These words are said Open wide and never end Never to be young and fade again
