Weighs on your mind life’s a compromise Sleepless city’s So Addictive Faced with suburbia You wouldn’t look behind Never thought you’d need convincing, so locked in Wanna take some time Wanna take some time Wanna take some time When you’re (got you) trapped in the middle every day after day and the chaos brings you down, in this town neighbourless watch You’re anonymous, stare down is it worth those nighttime riches from the outside a kaleidoscopic town far away from pebble beaches, releases

Thoughtful star We’ve been together for so long But torn apart By the letter of your tongue Your misery Always a pleasure to endure But now you’ve jilted me You’re not my hero anymore You’re not my hero anymore, oh no You’re not my hero anymore You’re not my hero anymore, oh no, oh no Your fatal slur Heard it one too many times Regretfully Now our views just don’t align Your constant need To find a platform for your voice Now I’ve got no choice You’re not my hero anymore You’re not my hero anymore, oh no You’re not my hero anymore You’re not my hero anymore, oh no, oh no Moving on Although it’s hard while you remain Untie me from Every couplet in our chain Your legacy True enough it stays the same Your views I can’t explain You’re not my hero anymore You’re not my hero anymore, oh no You’re not my hero anymore You’re not my hero anymore, oh no, oh no

Twilight Moment in my life Frozen Each clear night Fire bright Ablaze in the pure white So comforting Just feels right Darkest blue hides beneath my feet Northern lights play tricks on me Perfect night can’t hear me breathe Pulls me under down into the deep But northern lights steer From crystalised fear I shed a glass tear In beauty hiding Lost darkness blinding My fears unwinding Wide space Cold burning my face Resting This perfect place My flames die Smouldering lifeline It’s over Tomorrow when I fly Darkest place beneath my feet Northern lights play tricks on me Perfect night can’t hear me breathe Pulls me under down into the deep But northern lights steer From crystalised fear I shed a glass tear In beauty hiding Lost darkness blinding My fears unwinding Those northern lights steer From crystalised fear I shed a glass tear In beauty hiding Lost darkness blinding My fears unwinding

A motionless collapse Gentle nighttime, a world laying back But daytime haunts you when you’re sleeping Amplifies your every thought, with no reason Breathing, stop me dreaming Fast awake in bed Nothing fills my head Screaming, stop me dreaming Wakes me up inside Lost another night Wide open weary eyes 3am then it’s 4 going 5 So when the morning light’s releasing You realise you’re half awake, half a being Breathing, stop me dreaming Fast awake in bed Nothing fills my head Screaming, stop me dreaming Wakes me up inside Lost another night

On a day, maybe yesterday, took my memory, my heart with it too So confused, l didn’t have a word to say Didn’t want to contemplate, Life without you If this was love we were feeling If this was Love I can’t feel it anymore Could this be love, was i dreaming? Forgotten love I don’t feel it anymore Then someday, I can’t explain Came back to me, my focus renewed Ricochet, turning back the other way Now I feel ok, I’m back home with you Forgotten love now I feel it Forgotten love now I feel it even more Pure love that keeps me believing Makes me remember forgotten love before

water clear Wasted eyes lost all fear moonlit dive 
But if I don’t fall I’ll be back again safe from harm i’ll be back again in your arms Swimming in the sea impossible to breathe I’m invincible, untouchable But I’m drifting out of reach Shallow hope Jump right in floating, still I’m struggling But if I don’t fall I’ll be back again safe from harm i’ll be back again in your arms Swimming in the sea impossible to breathe I’m invincible, untouchable But I’m drifting out of reach

Night Vision 04:10
It was only on a clear day Against a pure night sky Stars shine through, blood moon hidden Night vision, stars electric Constellation feels intergalactic Stars shine through, blood moon hidden Stars shine through, blood moon hidden Stars shine through, blood moon hidden The darkness all absorbing My camera tells a lie Stars shine through, blood moon hidden Earth’s shadow moves aside Casts down a very different light Stars shine through, blood moon hidden Stars shine through, Blood moon hidden Stars shine through, Blood moon hidden Jupiter and Mars are gleaming But tonight I’m focussed on the moon Gone too soon I wonder what it’s like to be there Trapped in space and feeling all alone So far from home Stars shine through, Blood moon hidden Stars shine through, Blood moon hidden Stars shine through, Blood moon hidden (Only on a clear day) Stars shine through, Blood moon hidden (Only on a clear day) Stars shine through, Blood moon hidden (Only on a clear day) Stars shine through, Blood moon hidden
