The Kushan Empire (Sanskrit: कुषाण राजवंश (Kuṣāṇ Rājavaṃśa), BHS: Guṣāṇa-vaṃśa, Parthian: Kušanxšaθr) originally formed in the early 1st century AD under Kujula Kadphises in the territories of ancient Bactria on either side of the middle course of the Oxus (or Amu Darya), and later based in eastern and central Afghanistan and the northwest of Indian Subcontinent.
During the 1st and early 2nd centuries AD the Kushans expanded rapidly across the northern part of the Indian Subcontinent at least as far as Saketa and Sarnath near Varanasi (Benares) where inscriptions have been found dated to the first few years of era of the most famous Kushan ruler, Kanishka which apparently began about 127 AD.
The Kushan were a branch of the Yuezhi confederation. Previously a nomadic people residing in eastern Central Asia, the Yuezhi moved southwest and settled in ancient Bactria. They had diplomatic contacts with the Roman Empire, Sassanid Persia and Han China. While much philosophy, art, and science was created within its borders, the only textual record we have of the empire's history today comes from inscriptions and accounts in other languages, particularly Chinese. The empire declined from the 3rd century and fell to the Sassanid and Gupta Empires.
Look in my eyes,
shocked with terror.
Paralize 'n',
pull me over.
Im so dumb,
and your so clever.
Scrutinize,
my best endeavour.
Come the day,
when i will leave,
at my Pride.
You will be.
Chorus:
Empty skies but a butterflies wings beat silent like air
call us free by a promise torn, you said ill meet you there
Empty skies but a butterflies wings beat silent like air
call us free by a promise torn, you said ill meet you there
meet you there,
you know im there.
I left the sun in Africa
to be with you, to fly
cross the oceans
licking flame
every movement
speaks your name.
come the day
when i will leave
at my Pride
you will be
Chorus
I won't forget you
I won't
I won't forget your smile
Or how you taken me
Oh how you taken me
I won't forget
I let you walk with me
Ahh take me home
Because the night
Is so dark
When your alone
I let you down
I let you down
I let you go
Oh won't you let me be
Myself
I wanna be
Myself
I won't forget you
I won't forget you
I let you down
I let you down
You're like a child with old eyes,
cynical and sensible, always full of surprises
you travel far and wide
looking for the feeling, lost inside you
They don't understand you, no
until it's too late
with everything they've handed you
on a silver plate
CHORUS
Are you hungry for a little more
than what you've had before?
Are you hungry for a taste of life?
whet your appetite, are you hungry?
Now give me this mountainside
cool waters to lie beside
give me these two strong eyes
to see the difference between truth and lies
Ah, give me this feeling when you kiss me baby
every day and every night
That's all I need, yes
Everything is gonna be all right
CHORUS
You're like a sight for sore eyes, lyrical and gentle
borderlining sentimental
You're like a dream realised
so why do I keep falling back to sleep,
I'm so serious and deep.
Catch you
You create misery, have your cake and eat it
Take your place in history, and pray we don't repeat it
Call it fate, call it back, call it off, don't call me later
Lay your head in your bed, it's just how you made it
Out off my way I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way I'm coming, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way start running, I'm gonna catch you
It's your day believe it, it's your date with destiny
It's to late to leave it, after all it's your it's your party
Call it luck, call it fate, call me beautiful to my face
Call it out to my to suprise, it's just how you made it
Out off my way I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way I'm coming, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way start running, I'm gonna catch you
Out off my way I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way I'm coming, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way start running, I'm gonna catch you
Catch you
Catch you

This injury
is caused by reckless handling
and causes insecurity
distance isn't good for me
memories for past invite
and i wish you were here
and i wish you were here
into me
driving the reality
rolling right up over me
and i'm where i want to be
by your side
and i wish you were here
and i wish you were here
i wish you were here
i wish i could change
turn around the time
rearrange the play
even though you're near
it seem so far away
you seem to disappear from sight and sound ain't gone again
Pretty Girl
With heels on legs
If I had your brain instead
Then I probably wouldn't feel a thing
What do you think your Daddy said
If he ever really cared
Get your lipstick on
Get in the ring
Don't wish it all away
Tuck me up with me on one
It's over just for fun
Ain't we the lucky ones
Tuck me up with me on one
Ain't we the lucky ones
Throw me over
Waste me just for fun
In the street there's a heavy sound
All the people moving underground
If you're quiet you can hear them breathe
Feel it shake beneath your feet
Drop the rhythm
Cut the beat
Time is moving in
Don't wish it all away
Tuck me up with me on one
It's over just for fun
Ain't we the lucky ones
Tuck me up with me on one
Ain't we the lucky ones
Throw me over
Waste me just for fun
Don't wish it all away
Tuck me up with me on one
It's over just for fun
Ain't we the lucky ones
Tuck me up with me on one
Ain't we the lucky ones
Throw me over
Waste me just for fun
Don't wish it all away
That's what he said
Clever when you talk
Pretty when you sleep
Started seeing red
Give it all away
Too precious to keep
Don't make any doubt
That you can undo
Don't be surprised
If I don't talk to you
Don't be wasting our time
You've been lying before
You've been trying to get out
We've been climbing the walls
Tearing it out
I'm under your skin
Bows in your eyes
Murder on gin
You hide inside
But I'm coming in
It isn't over if we never begin
Don't be wasting our time
You've been lying before
You've been trying to get out
We've been climbing the walls
(Don't be wasting my time)
(Don't be wasting my time)
(Wasting my time)
(Wasting my time)
Stop being denied
What’s divinely yours
Let your hands untie
And finally walk
You can stand by my side
I’ll cover the course
The winner’s gain
And the loser’s loss
Don't be wasting our time
You've been lying before
You've been trying to get out
SPONSOR
I've had enough of it
This shit will stick
You know you make me sick
Come on fix your trick
Or hit the grit

Is driving me insane
How am I supposed to work
Knowing that you're playing with
My life like a game
I've had enough of it

You know you make me sick
Come on fix your trick
Or hit the grit
I've had enough of your lies
I've heard all them before
You're playing with my life

My life like a game
I've had enough of your lies
I've heard all of them before
You're playing with my life
Be the sign on the dotted line
Looking out the window, it's beautiful out there
Give me reasons to remember
The summer trees are stripped and almost bare
It's late September
Come the sun to kiss it better
Thank god for understanding
It seemed that we were under you
It looked like you were under fire
I know the love was never true
The moment we refused to fight
It seemed that I was never right
Walking another sleepless dream
And now everything I leave behind
I leave
For you
Look into the mirror, what am I?
A frightened creature, locked inside
My Mother's hair, my Father's eyes
Memories time rearranged for you
As everything changed for you
Did they make it better?
Thank god for understanding
It seemed that we were under you
It looked like you were under fire
It seemed the love was never true
The moment we refused to fight
I know that I was never right
Walking another sleepless dream
And everything I leave behind
I leave
Stole learn outshed
You thief, I thought you were an inject
Reluctant to recognise:
It's over
You want it back, you keep your reason

You want it back, you keep you jacket
I don't want it
You want it back, you want it
You want it back
You keep your freedom
Ah...
Shaking and scared

You want it back, you keep your reason

You want it back, you keep your freedom

Everytime we get too "week scene"
It all starts happening
Crazy the weird is
We let it begin
Is the love we have the only scene?
I felt like we should've let it go
But I can't live without you though
How did we get here again?
Why can't we talk, when I thought we were friends?
How did we get this far, eh?
We keep going over the same ground again
Go back to the beginning again
If we keep wasting time
Love worth die in the end
All this shit is making a stand
'Cause we keep going over the same ground again
I'm always nearly going down
Sun is nearly rising
See the quiet in your eyes
Is the anger now subsided?
Is it that you are satisfied?
I never lied...
but did I have to hide?
How did we get here again?
Why can't we talk, when I thought we were friends?
How did we get this far, eh?
We keep going over the same ground again
Go back to the beginning again
If we keep wasting time
Love worth die in the end
All this shit is making a stand
How could we resist it, life like this?
dramatized and twisted with every kiss
and in the far-off distance our fading memory
the simple co-existence of you and me
just looking at you
you're out of control
you're always talking
that look on your face
you're out of your mind
you're always talking
you lie through your teeth
you scratch underneath
you're old but I'm dead / you're all but empty (??)
just looking at you
you're out of control
you're always talking
don't rely on his reflection it'll come undone
the hurt of his rejection won't be the only one
thank you for showing me who you are
when all that we have left now is wounds and scars
just looking at you
you're out of control
you're always talking
that look on your face
you're out of your mind
you're always talking
you lie through your teeth
you scratch underneath
you're old but I'm dead / you're all but empty (??)
just looking at you
you're out of control
If it feels it's starting again
Over heavy and you want to be thin
If you think its over, begin
Recovery
Even when you wanna get high
Misdirected and you wanna fly
Take the splinters out of your eyes
Recovery
When I get a rhythm within
I feel happy when I'm living in it
When I wanna turn it round on its head
Aah recovery
Stepping on a carpet of glass
You're just happy you don't drop on your ass
Just be thankful that's there in your grasp
Recovery
Open up your cynical eyes
Step forward now
Don't be shy
If it's complicated, simplify
Recovery
When I get a rhythm within
I feel happy when I'm living in it
When I wanna turn it round on its head
Aah recovery yeah
When I hear the rhythm within
I'm so happy when I'm living in it
When you wanna turn it round on its head
Recovery
Recovery
Recovery
When I get the rhythm within
I feel happy when I'm living in it
When I wanna turn it round on its head
Aah recovery
When I'm feeling happy when I'm down on my knees
And you wanna take it over again
Recovery
Recovery
This time
It's final
It's over
I'm sorry
But I won't play this game
With you no more
We've been fighting over nothing
We've been trying for a long time
I won't play this game
With you no more, no more, no more
Gently, gently, catch your monkey
I believed you when you said forever
Is forever
Forever
You expect me to respect you
Love you and protect you
In joy and pain
Your love I got to have it full time
If you want a piece of my mind
I'm not playing games
All that we've worked for
All we have gained
All that we have suffered
Playing Games
Gently, gently, catch your monkey
I believed you when you said forever
Is forever
Forever
All that we have gained
Al that we have worked for
This time
It's final
It's over
Is it over now
Or that's something that you overheard
It is over dramatized
Over complicated, overhit
Oh, your clever talk
Leaves you tongue tigh
It's overkill
You wanna fix it with your hands tied
You never will
I don't wanna play this game no more
Back and forth and baaaaaaaaack
Is it over now
So tell me how does it feel?!
I guess it's over now
Are you get over me? x2
Take it easy now
Don't wanna change a thing
Don't want my dirty little feet all over everything
I took my shoes off
That I wouldn't chain
Over the clean sheets wrapped around that dirty paint
Ow, believe me, if I wanted to, baby, I would be there with you
I keep my hands clean
Keep my dignity
I leave it up to you
I don't wanna play this game no more
It's back and forth and baaaaaaaack
Is it over now
So tell me how does it feel ?!
I guess,it's over now
Are you get over me?
(and back and forth and back..)
Is it over now
So tell me how does it feel ?!
I guess,it's over now
Are you get over me? x2
Momentary sensory promises
Moments cut like shards of broken glass
Somewhere between sublime and the ridiculous
Is where we go to mend the broken heart
Feeling like a child
And you're looking like a man
You wanna make it pride
Feel like you can't
Out of this world, out of our heads
Out of control is beauty unfolds again and again
Out of this world and little to the blue
From me, from here, to you
Not the best of times to give a benefit
Please, dove all this love affair, we'd like
We're so close together, yet so separate
Couldn't realize it if we tried?
Feeling like a child
And you're looking like a man
You wanna make it pride
Feel like you can't
Out of this world, out of our heads
Out of control is beauty unfolds again and again
Out of this world and little to the blue
There's not enough, enough love
Enough thought for anybody
Tight as a drum
Sharp as they come
There's not enough love for anybody
Say it, play it tough
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
Rough and ready when you're throwin? into touch
There's never enough love for anybody
Not enough love, enough love
Enough thought for anybody
Tight as a drum
Sharp as they come
There's not enough love for anybody
Not enough love
Not enough love
There's not enough, enough love
Enough thought for anybody
Tight as a drum
Sharp as they come
There's not enough love for anybody
Now it's down to us, not to rush
Not to push it's fragile, carefully
We fall into line, children first
When it gets to us, there just isn't any
Not enough love, enough love
Enough thought for anybody
Tight as a drum
Sharp as they come
There's not enough love for anybody
Not enough love
If you're out there laughing
Fishbowl culture
You're fighting for water
If you're out there laughing
In our direction
We see our failure
Get on your precious rocket

Traded your empty pockets

Your foolish plan won't save you

Your stupid fans won't save you

Keep your feet on the ground
Every moment’s precious
See me wild and free
I now what I wanna be
Live for every second
Eyes wide, look don’t hide
Nobody be denied
Everybody’s special
Time flies, be a child
Life’s a big adventure, ride
Live for every second
It’s up to you if you won’t live for today
Can you
Its up to you if you don’t come out to play
Can you
And if you don’t slow down
You’re gonna fall
If you try to close your eyes you’re gonna miss it all
No time to rectify
I’ve had time to realise
You gotta take each moment
See me wild and free
I know what I wanna be
Every moment’s precious
Time flies be a child
Life’s a new adventure, ride
Live for every second

Can you
It’s up to you if you won’t live for today
Can you
Its up to you if you don’t come out to play
I see you looking my direction
I repayed a compliment
Something different in your eyes
You always seemed so confident back there
Though there's been a lot of change
Seems to best, and stayed the same
I remember you were my fiend before you changed
and ran away from me
(Believe me)
Believe me
If I could
Baby, I would
You know it
Was all gone
If I could
Maybe now
Give you my word
You know me
You read me like a book
I offer you the re-insurance
Thorn terms are relevant
Can you see the darken circles 'round my eyes
Penetrate in your soul?
Let's take back to better days
When everything was possible
Oh, this dirty world always...
My heavy heart is longing for you
(Believe me)
Believe me
If I could
Baby, I would
You know it
Was all gone
If I could
Maybe now
Give you my word
You know me
It's not easy,
for someone like me,
to always see both sides.
But in this situation I'd agree,
yeah all right.
I was wrong,
I was wrong.
I'm sorry it took so long,
to come clean if you know what i mean,
or now it's all wrong.
So can we talk it over,
before you go,
I'm wrong,
yeah I was wrong
I was wrong.
So can we talk it over before it's all gone,
i'm wrong
Yeah baby I admit it.
Hey, I was wrong,
I admit it
it was all be baby
Once upon a time
A spider ate a fly
She almost lost her web
Was biting off his head
I’m not guilty anymore
(You are, you are)
Though it brought me to the ground
(You are, you are)
I’m not angry anymore
(You are, you are)
Never wanted to be found
I’ve been feeling mighty weak
Since I don’t get any sleep
I almost lost the balance
Thank God I found my feet
I’m not guilty anymore
(You are, you are)
Though it brought me to the ground
(You are, you are)
I’m not angry any more
(You are, you are)
Never wanted to be found
The day is dawning for me
Once upon a time
A spider ate a fly
She almost lost her way
Was biting off his head
I’m not guilty anymore
(You are, you are)
Though it brought me to the ground
(you are, you are)
I’m not angry any more
(you are, you are)
What's the matter with your mind?
What's the matter with you head?

Tell me wheres the love gone, wheres the love gone

They'll never learn,

Cool head get ready
You’re dead serious
Your dark disposition has arisen
My intuition
She’ll pull you to pieces
Scatter you across the water
Who’s gonna pull you together
Pull you together
Down down down dangerous
Down down down dangerous water
Down down down dangerous
Down down down dangerous water
One day you’ll discover
If you lay still
It’ll all pass over
One move, and you’re finished
One taste of her poison lips
Will take you under
Where you’ll be silenced forever
Will take you under
Silenced forever
Down down down dangerous
Down down down dangerous water
Down down down dangerous
Down down down dangerous water
Cool head get ready
You’re dead serious

Don't lose your head
I know the damage has been done
I know that I was In the wrong
I should have told you
What can I say?
Has probably been said
You probably wish that I was dead
And I don't blame you
You won't believe me but ok
It wasn't meant to be this way
But at the end of the day
I still love you
I will walk away so dry your eyes
Can I just apologize?
I know I hurt you
I didn't mean to
Look at the damage we have done
Look at the damage
I thought you were the one
Look at the damage
Look at the damage we have done
Broken dreams and shattered love
What can we salvage?
Look at the damage
Damage
Look at the damage
Damage
To tell the truth
This didn't happen overnight
Just like we lost the will to fight
About a year ago
Just got too familiar
And started living separate lives
We were wanting different things
And didn't communicate
Till it was too late
You drifted further from my mind
It was so easily untied
It's unbelieveable
Don't be unkind, you'll come undone
You're still a child at 21
So go ahead
Find someone who really needs you
Look at the damage we have done
Look at the damage
I thought you were the one
Look at the damage
Look at the damage we have done
Broken dreams and shattered love
What can we salvage?
Look at the damage
Look at the damage
Look at the damage

Sweet untouchable you
You gave me the runaround
All you say and what you do
picks me up and leaves me hanging
Do you call, do you
Do you call, do you
Do you call, do you call that lovin' me?
I don't, I don't, I don't nono
Sweet unthinkable past
How you jog my memory
I knew, I knew it wouldn't last
'cause you keep on pickin' me up and leaving me hanging
Do you call, do you call that loving me?
Do you call, do you call that loving me?
Do you call, do you call that loving me?
Do you call, do you
Do you call, do you
Do you call, do you
I don't, oh no I don't
I don't call that
You don't call that
Sweet unstoppable you
Send my system crashing
All you say is not what you do
You just keep on pickin' me up and leaving me
Keep on pickin' me up and leaving me
Do you call, do cou call that lovin' me?
Do you call, do cou call that lovin' me?
Do you call, do cou call that lovin' me?
Do you call, do you
Do you call, do you
Do you call, do you
I don't, oh no I don't
I don't call that
You don't call that
You don't call that
You don't call that
You don't call that
I'm paralysed
Stuck between the devil and your smile
I've got my feet wet baby
Just about to die
And then you throw me back
Against the wall
What a nice surprise
Watch me fall
And you won't see me crawling
You won't see me crawling
No crawling ain't for me baby don't, baby don't see me
Crawling
If sentiment
Seems to be running dry
And there's no relent
I keep on trying
And then I realise
What I can do
Picking up the pieces of my life
I'll get over you
And you won't see me crawling
You won't see me crawling
No crawling ain't for me baby don't, baby don't see me
Crawling
(Crawling, Crawling, Crawling, Crawling, Crawling, Crawling)
I'm bigger know
Despite of you
And when it all turns round
It'll all come back on you
Make no mistake
I learnt my lesson now
The risks we take can break us down
Until we're crawling
Until we're crawling
I say crawlings not for me baby don't, baby don't see me
Crawling
Crawling
You won't see me crawling
No crawling ain't for me baby don't, baby don't see me
In silence and forgotten
Is where I’ll be
Til a gentle hearted stranger rescues me
Talk to me how you comfort me
I’m bitter and I’m twisted
Turn me out
And still I am addicted
To fear and doubt
Cut it out
I’m coming home now baby
I’m coming home
I’m coming home now baby
I’m coming
I’m coming home now baby
I’m coming home
I’m coming home now baby
(yeah-yeah)
See the world through a window
A thousand miles
But in my heart I’m drifting to your tired eyes
Close your eyes
The days push out a rhythm
On the open ground
I want to be back where we started
Turn it round
Make it safe and sound
I’m coming home now baby
I’m coming home
I’m coming home now baby
I’m coming
I’m coming home now baby
I’m coming home
I’m coming home now baby
(yeah-yeah)
Used to be so hell bound
Certain to find my place in the sun
But the sun’s been shining every day
And my work is never done
Sometimes I feel I might be wasting my time
But then I wake up screaming and realise I’m dreaming
And know it’s finally my time
I’m coming home now baby
I’m coming home
I’m coming home now baby
I’m coming
I’m coming home now baby
I’m coming home
I’m coming home now baby
(yeah-yeah)
At first, it was clear
It was easy to see
'Till you're cursed and reversed
And you turned it on me
Like a book, like a cover
You were easy to read
Like a clock, like a mother
You were curious and free
Starred in a movie
That was all about me
You're twisted in the end
In other far away trip
Everybody's in the castle, faster sleep
Wake up, stupid beaulty
No time to be weak
You take chances with me 3x
You're less lealty
Underneath the covers that you wear on a sleeve
Is a time and a place
Everything that you live
Trying to be clever
Isn't pretty for me
Suffocate in lone and give me room to be
Stopped in a movie that is all about me
Deep in a picture than
Skipping a dream
I thought you said you never had the mesure for me
Get up, it's time to leave
You take chances with me 3x
You're less lealty
(Loose your fizzy heart)
At the turn of the century
It was you and me
Making history baby
Always thought it was meant to be
We were humanely emotionally connected
I could have put it down to experience
I wish I put you down easy
My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes
My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes
I collected my dignity
With my mind at ease
I’ve burned your pictures and your memories
Put back all the pieces of me
So hard to see wearing rose tinted glasses
I should have put you down to experience
I wish I put you down easy
My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes
My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes
When all is said and done
We’re sitting in the sun
Take life by the hand
To live on till content
Say I let you go
To be beautiful alone
And though I forget your smile
I remember those eyes
Those eyes
When all is said and done
We’re sitting in the sun
Take life by the hand
To live on till content
Say I let you go
To be beautiful alone
And though I forget your smile
I remember those eyes
Those eyes
My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes
My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes
My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
My blue eyes
My blue eyed boy
(I should have put you down)
He looks like me
But not so haunted
Eyes like the sea
In storm
In torment
How can a body so frail
Contain this spirit
This creature I see
We're taking an avalanche
And lifting it up again
I've been high enough
To get to where I wanna go (ooh)
And living another day
Won't keep me out of touch
I'll find you some day
Got to get you out of this somehow I know
He looks right through me
So unprotected
His only legacy
Returned
Rejected
So young so free
So old and ridden
Oh what you see
We're taking an avalanche
And lifting it up again
I've been high enough
To get to where I wanna go (ooh)
And living another day
Won't keep me out of touch
I'll find you some day
Got to get you out of this somehow I know
He's nothing like me
So wrong and wretched
Your safe reality
Is living in sketches
And live out happiness
With no explanation
And peer out at the world
We're taking an avalanche
And lifting it up again
I've been high enough
To get to where I wanna go (ooh)
And living another day
Won't keep me out of touch
I'll find you some day
It’s like a pattern deep ingrained
It’s like a cycle but it’s always the same
Curly headed baby running wild
Woman that you see here now
She is still that same child
Aha always the same
I never change
Always the same
Always the same
I know my name
I never change
Always the same
Always the same
I’ve seen that look before
You can’t work me out
Don’t try and understand
You’ll always carry that doubt
You either love me or leave me
But I’ll never be tamed
I’m a mystery to myself
But I’m always the same
Aha always the same
I never change
Always the same
Always the same
I know my name
I never change
Always the same
Always the same
It’s like a cycle but it’s always the same
It’s like a cycle but it’s always the same
Aha always the same
I never change
Always the same
Always the same
I know my name
I never change
Always the same
15 years of precious time behind us
7 years before our child is gone
Everything precariously balanced
The slightest press can turn it upside down
And it took us ages
To create
And we fill up the pages
Take it down in a day
Take it down in a day
In a day you smell eternal summer
In a day the winter had begun
In a day I became your lover
In the morning all the rest will be gone
And it took us ages
To create
And we fill up the pages
Take it down in a day
Take it down in a day
15 years of precious time behind us
7 years before our child is gone
Everything precariously balanced
The slightest press can turn it upside down
And it took us ages
To create
And we fill up the pages
Take it down in a day
Recently I’ve been feeling kinda restless
Suddenly im rememb’rin’
Theres no use in pretendin’
Im not receiving
Cuz you aint sending
What I need
Or you just don’t have it
What is this some kinda force of habit
(chorus)
*Stop we start again
As it goes on Repeat to fade
Come with me and u will see a new beginning
As we go on repeat to fade
Stop we start again
As it goes on
Repeat to fade
Come with me and u will see a new beginning
As we go on repeat to fade*
Recently I’ve been thinking its not easy
Finally I believe it
There’s no use in pretending
Im not receiving
U aint sending
What I need
Or u just don’t have it
What is this a force of habit
Chorus
Always going on
Tide keeps rolling in
I stand watching it
Keep on giving it to us
Silence over me
Keep on holding me
Every night
I know where you sleep
And it's hurting me
It's hurting me
(CHORUS:)
When I want it all
For myself
I want it all
I want him for myself
I want it all
(END CHORUS)
You tease me
Telling me
It's over
Wait and see
Leave it
You're lying
When you tell me
You're not happy
Come to me
For sympathy
Every night
I know where you sleep
And it's hurting me
It's hurting me
CHORUS
Tide keeps rolling in
I stand watching
As you keep on giving it to her
Keep on
Keep it on
Time isn't cold enough
Isn't after us
It's hurting me
It's your call
Hear the answer
Cross the hall
As freedom dances
As the smoke screen rises
There they stand in their disguises
You come blazing
Waving your arms and your attitude
I don't notice you
Suzy May
Oh what is it coming to?
Why is it down to you?
You come blazing
Smell so sweet
And taste so bitter
Struck with paint
And doused in glitter
This is for the back row
You better stand up mister
Or you'll miss the show
You come blazing
Waving your arms and your attitude
I don't notice you
Suzy May
Oh what is it coming to?
Why is it down to you?
You come blazing
Little girl in the mirror
Jesus loves a sinner
Put on your lipstick
And get another quick fix
You better be something
You better keep on running
Or jump from a building
You never really lived in
So you want to be a superstar?
Yeah
You come blazing
Waving your arms and your attitude
I don't notice you
Suzy May
Oh what is it coming to?
Why is it down to you?
Oh come blazing
You come blazing
Waving your arms and your attitude
I don't notice you
Suzy May
Oh what is it coming to?
Why is it down to you?
You come blazing
Come blazing
Girl in the mirror
Girl in the mirror
Little girl in the mirror
What you gonna do
When it's time to recognise
Do you wanna get serious
When you're walking by my side
And the way is perilous
And you think you're better now
You think you're over it
I can see from the look on your face
You're a long way off
Pride it always comes
Before a fall
You see me
See me calling
I can fly
But I watch you falling
You see me
See me calling
I can fly
But I watch you falling
Falling
Don't fall
It's a long way down again
I can see your pretty face
Unaware embarassment
I'm falling down again
And I think I'm better now
And I think I'm over it
Can you see by the smile on my face?
I'm coming home
Pride it always comes
Before a fall
You see me
See me calling
I can fly
But I watch you falling
You see me
See me calling
I can fly
But I watch you falling
Falling
What you gonna do
When it's time to recognise
Do you wanna get serious
When you're walking by my side
And the way is perilous
Well I think we're better now
And I think we're over it
I can see by the look on your face
It's coming home
Pride it always comes
Before a fall
See me
SPONSOR
Settle down
And take the heat off
You're too busy spinning in your head
You surround me in circles
You're too eager to run further
Little boy
Just imagine
All the danger that lies ahead
You're a child, so pay attention
Pay attention
Take your time
It's the time of your life, take it slow
Take it slow
And you'll know it's your time to grow
It's your time, it's your time
Little boy
In the window
Looking over
A disaster
If you trip
Or you fall over
You cut you finger
You play with fire
Little boy
Just imagine
All the danger that lies ahead
You're a child, so pay attention
Pay attention
Take your time
It's the time of your life, take it slow
Take it slow
And you'll know it's your time to grow
It's your time, it's your time
Take your time
It's the time of your life, take it slow
Take it slow
And you'll know it's your time to grow
If you were in my heart
i'd surely not break you
if you were beside me
then my love would take you
i'll keep you in safety
forever protect you
i'll hide u away from the world you rejected
i'll hide u

Ref:
If you were in my heart, I'd surely not break you
If you were beside me, and my love would take you
I'll keep you in safety, forever protect you
I'll Hide U away from the world you rejected
I'll Hide U
I'll Hide U
Bridge:
Take my hand, show no fear
Look in my eyes, it's perfectly clear
I'll love you, and comfort you
Ask me to tell you what I wanna do
I should have treated you a bit warmer
Kept you over here in my corner
After all is said and done
You still got me on the run
A bit longer
Every day and night
I wish I had tried
A bit harder
I should try a little bit harder
I should try a little bit harder
Looking back
I could have been smarter
Maybe given time
We could get it together
I've got memories of our time
Playing over in my mind
I cannot forget
I wish I could make it right
Maybe if I could turn back time
We could have made it if I tried
If I tried
I should try a little bit harder
I should try a little bit harder
I couldn't meet with your demands
So much I couldn't understand
All the good things that we had
Slip like water through my hands
Was I blind that I didn't see
That you needed more from me
How much we had to try
We could make it if I try
I should try a little bit harder
I should try a little bit harder
I should try a little bit harder
The road is closing in
And you can cross the floor
The music drives you
Sends you climbing walls
The tears of recollection
Are left across your face
there are some lies you put there
and some you arrange
(CHORUS:)
Just don't wanna come over
Can't seem to love one another
You wanna run and take cover
Your silence hides you from the inside
(END CHORUS)
CHORUS
You'd better get awake now
It's time to stand up tall
i can touch you so far behind walls
And see the sun is rising
In an almost perfect sky
See how far we travel and how hard we try
CHORUS
CHORUS
Inside...
Catch you
You create misery, have your cake and eat it
Take your place in history, and pray we don’t repeat it
Call it fate, call it back, call it off, don’t call me later
Lay your head in your bed, it’s just how you made it
Out off my way I’m running, I’m gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way I’m coming, I’m gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way I’m running, I’m gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way start running, I’m gonna catch you
It’s your day believe it, it’s your date with destiny
It’s to late to leave it, after all it’s your it’s your party
Call it luck, call it fate, call me beautiful to my face
Call it out to my to suprise, it’s just how you made it
Out off my way I’m running, I’m gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way I’m coming, I’m gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way I’m running, I’m gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way start running, I’m gonna catch you
Out off my way I’m running, I’m gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way I’m coming, I’m gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way I’m running, I’m gonna catch you if I can
Out off my way start running, I’m gonna catch you
Catch you
I wonder why
You act so fly
When you try, so hard to try, to try, to try, to try
I see the sky, is open wide
Take a look inside
Its wild like a child, it's free
C’mon!
It’s all in my head,
It’s all in my head
Us only, you and me
Wherever you go I will be
Just close your eyes and you’ll see
And wherever you go I will be
On the other side
Of life we glide
Got our pride
Standing tall in the sun
Oh we’re flying high
Spinning in our time
Living life and loving free
This is where I wanna be
C’mon
It’s all in my head,
It’s all in my head
Us only, you and me
Wherever you go I will be
Just close your eyes and you’ll see
And wherever you go I will be
It’s all in my head,
It’s all in my head
Us only, you and me
Wherever you go I will be
Just close your eyes and you’ll see
He looks like me

We don? t have to talk
If it makes you cry
I can? t help but notice
You could use a friend
It? s a story of a boy who tried to be a man
Cruel heart
You won again
Cruel heart
You won again
We still need to hold you
We still need to show you
Cruel heart
You won again
Cruel heart
You won again
It? s not easy to undo
The tragedy that? s life
We can do nothing alone
But she always wants to fight
It? s a story of a girl but where do we begin
Cruel heart
You won again
Cruel heart
You won again
We still need to hold you
We still need to show you
