Music & Lyrics by Nathan Da Silva
Verse 1:
It’s nice to meet you
Now that I see your face
So kind of you to
Put all of this me to waste
Disconnected lines, no fault of mine
Unfamiliar signs, get out of line
Chorus:
I don’t know if I could choose
What must be done, and make this go away
I never knew I could lose
The best damn thing, I thought was here to stay
I’m not like the things you say
It’s just like you anyway
I’m not like the mess you made
It’s just like you anyway
Verse 2:
It’s nice to know that
I can just take the blame
It’s kind of you to
Twist that knife with no shame
Disconnected lines, no fault of mine
Unfamiliar signs, get out of line
Chorus:
I don’t know if I could choose
What must be done, and make this go away
I never knew I could lose
The best damn thing, I thought was here to stay (x2)
I’m not like the things you say
It’s just like you anyway
I’m not like the mess you made
It’s just like you anyway (x2)

Lyrics by Nathan Da Silva
Verse 1:
You take the path you make
But end up back where you start
No turning back this me
‘Cause you’re next in line
You’re spinning ‘round and ‘round
You goa regain your ground
So take control of your life
‘Cause it’s up to you
Chorus:
And the beat goes on
As the world crumbles down
And people change
But we work it out somehow
And we take what we can make
Through the constant rise and fall
But it’s one mistake
You’ll have to live with now
Verse 2:
You answer to no one
You grab the prize and you run
So leave behind your past
Better make it fast
Society’s a mess
Everyone’s driven by fear
You know you’ll stick to your guns
‘Cause the choice is clear
Chorus:
And the beat goes on
As the world crumbles down
And people change
But we work it out somehow
And we take what we can make
Through the constant rise and fall
But it’s one mistake
You’ll have to live with now
Bridge:
Dig deep and keep the pace
(On and on and on and on)
Don’t lose sight of the chase
(On and on and on and on)
No matter what you face
(On and on and on and on)
Don’t lose sight of the chase
(On and on and on and on)
Chorus:
And the beat goes on
As the world crumbles down
And people change
But we work it out somehow
And we take what we can make
Through the constant rise and fall
But it’s one mistake
You’ll have to live with now

Lyrics by Nathan Da Silva & Brendan Soares
Verse 1:
Fantasies and make-believe
Living your hypocrisy, I stand
Silent eyes, watching by
Secrecies and trust you steal
High on those familiar feels
Lying through your teeth will make them rot
Verse 2:
Nothing’s what it seem to be
Questioning one’s sanity, I fly
Fly away with burning eyes
Pulled the veil right over me
Played the game you played on me
Lying through those teeth will make them rot
Chorus:
I let my guard down, and you got away
I’m crying out now, and you got nothin’ to say
Come down, down from this
You’re breaking down, down
Everything we’ve made
I let my guard, and you got away
I’m crying out now, and you got nothin’ to say
Come down, down from this
You’re breaking down, down
And you’re running away from it all
Verse 3:
Pulled the veil right over me
Played the game you played on me
Lying through those teeth will make them rot
Chorus:
I let my guard down, and you got away
I’m crying out now, and you got nothin’ to say
Come down, down from this
You’re breaking down, down
Everything we’ve made
I let my guard, and you got away
I’m crying out now, and you got nothin’ to say
Come down, down from this
You’re breaking down, down
And you’re running away from it all (x2)

Verse 1:
You showed me how love should really be
Was blinded for so long and couldn’t see
Gave my wounded heart to you so suddenly
But I can’t seem to take it back – back to me
Chorus:
Are you feelin’ what I’m feelin’?
And where’s this feeling from?
Will you be there, with me right here?
When all is said and done
Verse 2:
I know it’s been a while and I can’t remember when
But every time I see you, I fall in love with you again
I know we get these feelings you and I have shared
And I wish I was not so scared
Tryin’ to find the ways to build the strength I need
Accepting all the things that I just could not be
Well, they say if you love someone then let em’ go
Well baby, I knew we had to let each other go
Chorus:
Are you feelin’ what I’m feelin’?
The feelin’ of what’s to come
Will you be there, with me right here?
When all is said and done

Lyrics by Nathan Da Silva & Jessica Lau
Verse 1:
Speedin’ down the 60 tonight
Fire up and don’t look back to watch it
Burn!
Urge to push the pedal tonight
Burying the needle just to watch it
Burn! Burn, burn!
Chorus:
All green lights, stoppin’ for nothin’ now
60 to infinity!
No regrets, goin’ the distance
Verse 2:
Stop and go! Rev it up, accelerate
Fire up that engine just to make it
Burn! Yeah, yeah!
Road’s the killer, so let me take another
Light ‘em up with what you got, and that’ll make ‘em
Burn! Burn, burn!
Chorus:
They’re all green lights, stoppin’ for nothin’ now
60 to infinity
No regrets, goin’ the distance
Don’t tell me what I need now
I’ll burn out in the sun
Don’t take me for a ride now
I’ll let you when I’m done
But will I ever be done?
Bridge:
Will I ever be done?
Can I just let it burn?
Will I ever be done?
No! I’ll just let it burn!
Chorus:
All green lights, stoppin’ for nothin’ now
60 to infinity
No regrets, goin’ the distance
Don’t tell me what I need now
I’ll burn out in the sun
Don’t take me for a ride now
I’ll let you when I’m done
Don’t wait, just burn it up now
I’ll come down when it’s done
But will it ever be done?
Will it ever be done?
No!
I will never be done!
I will never be done!
I will never be done!
I will just let it burn!

Verse 1:
I’m left here wide awake
Sleepless nights and hazy days
Left wondering the wonders of this
Damn infernal game
Familiar but it’s frayed
Reassures that it’s okay
Not knowing that this shameless, silent
Chase won’t go away
It makes you wanna scream
It makes you wanna cry
It makes you think it doesn’t matter
Even if you try
These hands, they strangulate
These words, they aggravate
These walls, they suffocate
Chorus:
And when I leave it all behind
This bleeding heart subsides
Left with my wounds to die
Cauterize this bleeding heart of mine
Verse 2:
I’m lying here in pain
This weakened pulse sustains
Left battered, broken
Beaten to a pulp that just remains
Familiar but it’s fake
Was this a big mistake?
This never ending runaround will
Make me go insane
It makes me wanna scream
It makes me wanna cry
It makes me think it doesn’t matter
Even if I try
These hands, they strangulate
These words, they aggravate
These walls, they suffocate
Chorus:
And when I leave it all behind
This bleeding heart subsides
Left with my wounds to die
Cauterize this bleeding heart of mine
If I could see you one last time
I’d stab your heart like mine
Left with my wounds to die
Cauterize this bleeding heart of mine

Music & Lyrics by Nathan Da Silva
Verse 1:
I’ve been trapped in this maze
Can’t remember the last time awake
It’s so hard to pretend
And I wonder will this ever end
All afraid of the ghost
We lose sight of what matters the most
I will wait patiently
For the day that we all can be free
Verse 2:
It’s a lonely affair
Isolated with nothing to share
Disconnected, we’ll be
All connected in disharmony
I take comfort to know
Our true colours through this really show
I will wait patiently
For the day that we all can be free
Chorus:
No shame – you blame
To just perpetuate
Unwind – unbind
Yourself and from the grind
