Hard to Breathe 03:19
lyrics
I can’t stop because I feel alive Over run controlled mind Where the demons come free to roam the night Churning thoughts into mine Hard to stand when you’re alone Easier to let go Hard to breathe when you don’t know Which way to turn and who’s in control I feel alive I feel alive Like it’s the first time Weak knees, shaking palms Feelings subside I feel alive I feel alive Like it’s the first time Weak knees, shaking palms Feelings subside I feel alive Ignorance is bliss, so they say Not enough to make the pain go away So I give in and lose the light Learning the dark side I feel alive I feel alive Like it’s the first time Weak knees, shaking palms Feelings subside I feel alive I feel alive Like it’s the first time Weak knees, shaking palms Feelings subside I feel alive If you could only see into my mind I’m not hiding from who I am inside I feel alive I feel alive Like it’s the first time Weak knees, shaking palms Feelings subside I feel alive I feel alive Like it’s the first time Weak knees, shaking palms Feelings subside I feel alive

Red Fleece Jacket 03:36
lyrics
Running through years of dreams 6 years old seems to be Body touched Oh so young Pinned to the car seat Trying to be tough 8 years on and it starts to click Vivid dreams make her sick Red fleece jacket Hugs her side Fragile hands Wipe child eyes He can't harm you now And if he ever tried I would l stand between him For you, I'd give my life My girl in the red fleece jacket I will wipe your eyes Lay your thoughts to rest Ill never leave your side Turbulence inside rises up Built by a strangers hands No say in his lust Should have been stronger Could have been smarter Excuses over she couldn't have stopped it He can't harm you now And if he ever tried I will l stand between him For you I'd give my life My girl in the red fleece jacket I will wipe your eyes Lay your thoughts to rest Ill never leave your side

Veins 02:08
lyrics
Not hungry for substance Only hungry for release Paper weights hold my heart to the beat Veins like rivers Heading down stream Away from the course I set for my dreams And it’s a long way up from the bottom I’ve created I am standing tall though I’m starting to sway I will reach the lights before they fade away Cause I will not fall Like a love affair I’m swept off my feet But fall face first when reality greets Beauty has a price or so they say I’ve been paying too long I’m starting to sway It’s a long way up from the bottom I’ve created I am standing tall though I’m starting to sway I will reach the lights before they fade away Cause I will not fall Cause I will not fall Cause I will not fall

Weapon 02:05
lyrics
Heart on my sleeve Doesn't mean that I'm weak Got a weapon undercover that I always keep Walks on the shore Waves rushing in Beauty tainted by the salt you swallow when you swim Violet rays surround me You can't reach my boundaries Though my hearts in the open You're just a ripple in my ocean War with two vessels Standing my ground You thought I'd give in but this time it's you who'll drown Heart on my sleeve Don't mean I'm weak Got a weapon undercover missile launched target achieved Violet rays surround me You can't reach my boundaries Though my hearts in the open You're just a ripple in my ocean
