The Hunter

Oh my love
Can you hear me as I call?
I've wandered down these empty streets
A thousand times before
I may be a stranger
To the pain that you've endured
But these dark eyes are watching over us all
You've been corrupted now you wallow in defeat
With no protection from the ones you swore to beat
Oh beware of the hunter
Deep inside of your head
Oh beware of the hunter
And I know that I'm losing
Don't let love pull you under
Don't give up what you've bled
Oh beware of the hunter
There's no use in saving me
I spend my nights awake losing sleep
Drowning out these thoughts in my head
If I come back to what I need then maybe I can keep the truth away
But I lose every time, I lose
Is it confusion or am I just breaking through
This mass delusion will we ever know the truth?
Oh beware of the hunter
Deep inside of your head
Oh beware of the hunter
And I know that I'm losing
Don't let love pull you under
Don't give up what you've bled
Oh beware of the hunter
There's no use in saving me
Oh beware of the hunter
Deep inside of your head
Oh beware of the hunter
And I know that I'm losing
Don't let love pull you under
Don't give up what you've bled
Oh beware of the hunter
There's no use in saving me
We spend all our money on dreams in disguise
And surrender our freedom to live out a lie
In the darkest of hours I'm losing my grip on reality
We work through the tears all the blood, sweat and pain
While they rape us for every damn cent that we make
With nowhere to go and nothing to show
The hunter is coming for you

I was walking down the street one night
When I saw her standing there
There was something about the look in her eyes
And the way the wind was catching her hair
But as time went on and she changed her ways
Her personality shifted into view
I discovered her secrets that fuelled her desires
To spend her nights with someone new
But she said
Take a little chance on me now baby
Don’t you make a big mistake
Take a little chance on me now baby
I’m telling you it’s not too late
Take a little chance on me now baby
No I won’t make you wait
Take a little chance on me now baby
I’m telling you it’s not too late
She’s got a whole lot of loving to take with her home
But she’s got nothing in the back of her mind
With a strong desire to lose my love she’s calling
Calling out your name
Now I’m sitting on my bedroom floor
And I'm wondering where she’s been
It’s 3am and I’m six mugs deep
In a wine and a bottle of gin
I don’t why I do it all to myself
Surely I’m better off alone
Then she calls me with an audible smile
And a matter of fact tone
Take a little chance on me now baby
Don’t you make a big mistake
Take a little chance on me now baby
I’m telling you it’s not too late
Take a little chance on me now baby
No I won’t make you wait
Take a little chance on me now baby
I’m telling you it’s not too late
But there's no way baby I'm taking you back
You took my heart and you swallowed it whole
All for nothing but your own self worth, I’m moving
Oh I’m moving on
I may be a fool but I’m not for you
I’m walking out and I’m closing the door
And you don’t understand it, or comprehend it
But I don’t really want to do this anymore
Take a little chance, take a little chance
Take a little chance, take a little chance
Take a little chance, take a little chance
Take a little chance on me
Take a little chance, take a little chance
Take a little chance, take a little chance
Take a little chance, take a little chance
Take a little chance on me

Beautiful Madness
05:16
|
|||
|
I sit alone in a quiet room
Ignore the sound of the world outside
There are days I feel so lost and lonely
The price you pay for not living a lie
Sometimes I wonder if it's all in my head
You look around but you can't see
I want to run and hide but I can't do that
Cos this world has got it's hold on me
It's a shame
Can you feel the rage that's burning deep in my heart (it's a shame)
Insanity is calling it will tear you apart (it's a shame)
It's time to free the demons you've kept locked in the dark (it's a shame)
This beautiful madness is taking control
Everyday nothing changes
Once again it’s just the same old thing
I’m just a fool with an imagination
Dreaming up the way it could’ve been
If I close my eyes my thoughts turn to screams
And the whole world around me is fading to black
I want to stand and fight until it bleeds
But I’m afraid my sanity is starting to crack
It's a shame
Can you feel the rage that's burning deep in my heart (it's a shame)
Insanity is calling it will tear you apart (it's a shame)
It's time to free the demons you've kept locked in the dark (it's a shame)
This beautiful madness is taking control
From the depths of self delusion as the world passes by (it's a shame)
To the homicidal saviours plaguing everyones mind (it's a shame)
Forget the retribution I am taking what's mine (it's a shame)
This beautiful madness is taking control
Can’t breath, it’s breaking me down
But I need this feeling around
It keeps my head to the ground
This beautiful madness is taking control
I know you don’t understand
And I feel like I’m wasting my breath on you
Please don't even try to pretend
This beautiful madness is taking control
Let go
Let go (this beautiful madness it taking control)
Let go
This beautiful madness it taking control
Let go
Let go (this beautiful madness it taking control)
Let go
This beautiful madness it taking control
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame

Feeling incomplete without reason
Something deep inside has lost it’s way
Cos it burns
It’s burning in my veins
Pulsing through untamed
And there’s nothing that I can do
I don’t want to be the lonely one
Left here dreaming of a life that’s gone
Scared to lose but it’s alright
Pictures of a better life
But when reality makes its stand
Where do you go to pretend?
If the world outside is just an illusion
Maybe it’s time for me to take a chance
So I run
Run into the night
But I’m feeling alright
Every second that I’m with you
I don’t want to be the lonely one
Left here dreaming of a life that’s gone
Scared to lose but it’s alright
Pictures of a better life
But when reality makes its stand
Where do you go to pretend?
I don’t want to be the lonely one
Left here dreaming of a life that’s gone
Scared to lose but it’s alright
Pictures of a better life
But when reality makes its stand
Where do you go to pretend?

Dark Eyes
06:17
|
|||
|
Visions that you can’t control dancing in front of your eyes
Weaving in and out of your dreams each night
The man in the mirror will speak for himself
But can he see your facade
I wish I knew
If only I knew
Some may say we’ve been suppressed one too many times
Faded remnants of integrity left behind
Follow the leader while standing in line
Surrender your mind and your soul
Because you can’t tell what’s going on behind those eyes
(I can see) When I look into those dark eyes
(I can see) All I ever see are the things that I don’t want to believe
Coming back to life
(I can see) When I look into your dark eyes
(I can see) Feeling stranding while I’m standing on the edge of defeat
Cutting through the lies
If time extends it’s weary hand
And I’m still afraid of the light
Then maybe that’s where the darkness truly resides
Differences show when losing your way
But we all look the same in the light
I wish I knew what was going on behind your eyes
(I can see) When I look into those dark eyes
(I can see) All I ever see are the things that I don’t want to believe
Coming back to life
(I can see) When I look into your dark eyes
(I can see) Feeling stranding while I’m standing on the edge of defeat
Cutting through the lies
(I can see) When I look into those dark eyes
(I can see) All I ever see are the things that I don’t want to believe
Coming back to life
(I can see) When I look into your dark eyes
(I can see) Feeling stranding while I’m standing on the edge of defeat
Cutting through the lies

Turn to Dust
04:34
|
|||
|
Oh I need to think less
Truth is that I’m reckless
I need someone to keep me in line
Someone I can turn to
With willingness to learn to
Gladly hear me wasting their time
What do you see?
When looking at me
After that I can’t be sure
I’m changing my ways
And spending my days
Searching for that one thing that I’d never found before
I turn to dust at the sight of you
Disappear and I fade from view
You know it’s breaking my heart
I admire your persistence
Ignoring my existence
Am I really here at all?
With my head above the water
I really think I oughta
Take a breath and try once more
Like a magical spell
You do it so well
Don’t you know I see right through
At first glance
Nothing makes sense
Still I’m searching for that one thing that I’d never found before
I turn to dust at the sight of you
Disappear and I fade from view
You know it’s breaking my heart
I turn to dust at the sight of you
Disappear and I fade from view
You know it’s breaking my heart
Like a magical spell
You do it so well
But don't you know I see right through
I'm changing my ways
And spending my days
Searching for that one thing that I'd never found before
I turn to dust at the sight of you
Disappear and I fade from view
You know it’s breaking my heart
I turn to dust at the sight of you
Disappear and I fade from view
You know it’s breaking my heart
I turn to dust at the sight of you
I turn to dust at the sight of you

The Power of Music
06:21
|
|||
|
Wisdom flows through the open air
A sound I can’t believe
Imaginations running wild
I wish I had those dreams
Clinging to the edge of life
And reality
A quiet rebellion within my mind
In a fight for what could be
One more step closer
To a vision that’s left to decay
Obsession just won’t go away
It drives me
Maybe it’s the power of love, the power of music
Expressing all the deepest desires of the heart
Blinding like a raging storm, unexpected and out of the norm
Maybe it’s the power of music that sets us apart
And it tears through my heart
Philosophers and artisans
All the worlds a stage
Break the mould, control illusions
And ride kinetic waves
Take a chance and roll the dice
Turn another page
Luck is just a mindless venture
And life is much the same
One more step closer
To a vision that’s left to decay
Obsession just won’t go away
It drives me
Maybe it’s the power of love, the power of music
Expressing all the deepest desires of the heart
Blinding like a raging storm, unexpected and out of the norm
Maybe it’s the power of music that sets us apart
And it tears through my heart
Don’t look back
Illuminate the fire
Release your heart
Drive your desire
Maybe it's the power of love, the power of music
Maybe it's the power of love, the power of music
Maybe it's the power of love, the power of music
Maybe it's the power of love, the power of music

Little Lies
02:44
|
|||
|
A thousand men or more can't hold me back
From a lifetime of living like you do
Hiding in the shadows so you can’t see
The ever growing space that’s you and me
Tell me this ain’t really how you want things to be?
Well I can’t seem to understand why you can’t see the light
When It burns so good, it burns so bright
I can’t seem to hear the truth amongst your little lies
You hold them close, you hold them tight
Now they say time can heal anything
But there’s no going back from this
I can still recall the fear of it all
Waiting for the day the hammer would fall
And knowing that there’s never really anyway out of this
Well I can’t seem to understand why you can’t see the light
When It burns so good, it burns so bright
I can’t seem to hear the truth amongst your little lies
You hold them close, you hold them tight
Well I can’t seem to understand why you can’t see the light
When It burns so good, it burns so bright
I can’t seem to hear the truth amongst your little lies
You hold them close, you hold them tight

Behind Your Eyes
06:37
|
|||
|
There was a time when I would find that everything I did meant nothing to anyone but me
I’d blame myself, I’d run away, I’d leave it for another day and burn out like flame
And I wonder about the world inside my head
Could I leave it all behind?
Then I saw you
In the light you were shining right through
Behind your eyes
All I ever want to see
Behind your eyes
Locked away you found the key
Behind your eyes
A feeling that can set me free
Oh my head may be a mess but I’m up to the test I’ll give my all if you’ll let me
This is strange if it is true and I don’t know what else to do but lay back and accept it
But there’s something in the way that you talk
And the way that you smile
Finally
In the darkest of nights I can see
Behind your eyes
All I ever want to see
Behind your eyes
Locked away you found the key
Behind your eyes
A feeling that can set me free
Well maybe I’m crazy
And maybe it’s true
Maybe it’s not the worst thing I could do
I'll rise from the ashes
And I’ll give it a shot
Now that I know who I am and who I’m not
Behind your eyes
Behind your eyes
Behind your eyes
