Damo Darby This is an album of amazing talent and production! Ellisha's vocal match Jack's instrumentals beautifully! This album is musical excellence and a great first album for the band to launch their career on. Can't wait to see what they will come out with next! Favorite track: Running Out of Road.

Gary Coulson What an album !
When Luminescence floated into my ears i suddenly felt at peace with everything. Remember me then tickled my senses and left me feeling like a beautiful sunny day Favorite track: Luminescence.

I know that I could apologise, but trying to see past those eyes Makes it known, the proof within my soul will cover up inside the path that leads to me Don't cover up these accusations against me A word to the wise, reward all your lies 'Cause the vessels beneath me start pumping My heart from on top of the world starts jumping Am I just another one who means nothing to you? You have always been my closest friend But this forbidden love we share will have to end Why is that such a crime? I'll pretend In the dead of winter five years later he kills again A victim, suspect, in-between sides, when the lines blur where do you hide? How can something so wrong feel so right? In the palm of my hand comes yesterday's, yesterdays' life Absorbing my surroundings and trying to stay calm Hanging on your tongue so I don't miss a single sound will cover up inside the path that leads to me But every single time tha you break infront of me A word to the wise, reward all your lies 'Cause the vessels beneath me start pumping My heart from on top of the world starts jumping Am I just another one who means nothing to you? You have always been my closest friend But this forbidden love we share will have to end Why is that such a crime? I'll pretend In the dead of winter five years later he kills again A victim, suspect, in-between sides, when the lines blur where do you hide? How can something so wrong feel so right? In the palm of my hand comes yesterday's, yesterdays' life Yesterday's life I'm going undercover In the dead of winter five years later

According to you I'm the person I can't be But when I signal to you, you just don't trust me Why does it matter? You just take advantage of my own privacy I've forced to obtain Let me go, leave me be Deceive me of the way I think towards my insanity To get me out of the storm Don't succeed to fall, you'll be made to crawl Where's my saviour, to get me Out of the storm Get me out of the storm x3 Can we even let go of this I can't break free We're building all these warships to defend only me I'm too selfish to understand to apparently With these shadows behind me lurking around Do you think I deserve this? Deceive me of the way I think towards my insanity To get me out of the storm Don't succeed to fall, you'll be made to crawl Where's my saviour, to get me Out of the storm Can you search for me, into hiding I'm watching over you, why you? Can you search for me, surrounded By nothing else but you, why you?

Watcha staring at, the way my body shakes? The way that I crash down from the pressure that my mind makes? But all that I can achieve is a simple life To make my parents proud of me Whether a husband or wife can strive To succeed just like me or with along My own mentality, that I eventually go crazy 'Cause all I can stare at is the restrictions on my life Stand up, get your gun, I will be your best son And the time's ticking by, I can't see There's a guy in my eye-line Should I run away or should I stay? Come on, breakaway and we'll go save the day Carry on in our ways and I wont try to stop you Every single time that I try to save you I'm just pushed away I can see the way you struggle I can see your eyes Why not scream it at my face and I'll hold you really tight? Stand up, get your gun, I will be your best son And the time's ticking by, I can't see There's a guy in my eye-line Should I run away or should I stay? Come on, breakaway and we'll go save the day Carry on in our ways and I wont try to stop you And I recount one more time everything I want to keep you Don't say a word Just let me speak this time Stand up, get your gun, I will be your best son And the time's ticking by, I can't see There's a guy in my eye-line Should I run away or should I stay? Come on, breakaway and we'll go save the day Carry on in our ways and I wont try to stop you I'm running out of patience, running out of road Switch to automatic serving only you I must make you happy, I must make you glad Before you take your last breath among the sand

Stand up straight, keep in line, work only on your design Of your faces and your features, we're acting just like creatures Be the best, be the worst, keep a smile on so you burst With loss you will stay 'til the end of your days Keep your voice down low Way to go my dear, I applaud you sincerely Escape from reality I cower down 'cause I'm afraid you'll attack me I'm just a shadow beneath you But is this even true? Mind you tongue, never blink, stay part of this abnormality Of those faces and those features, they're acting just like creatures Never fall, never crack, they'll beat you either way just take a step back All I wanted was comfort a sign, I beg of you I beg of you Way to go my dear, I applaud you sincerely Escape from reality I cower down 'cause I'm afraid you'll attack me I'm just a shadow beneath you But is this even true? Turn the lights out, don't see my bloodshot eyes Turn the lights out, are we safe and sound now Turn the lights out, turn the lights out Way to go my dear, I applaud you sincerely Escape from reality I cower down 'cause I'm afraid you'll attack me I'm just a shadow beneath you But is this even true? I am just simply a burden to you

Breaking apart the same story again and I can't trust my heart, I guess we're better off friends should I go? I should go. I never thought that I could live through a lie but I can see from the tears building up in your eyes I should go, let me go But time is a healer that will mend the broken bones of a life made cleaner by being forced to walk it alone all alone Now twelve months have gone and I'm still paying the rent they said that things would get better I guess I know what they meant cause today I'm okay Went out with my friends and we lit up a fire we had drinks in our hands and I had never felt higher I know that I am okay (But are you okay?) Cause time is a healer that will mend the broken bones of a life made cleaner by being forced to walk it alone all alone Days fell away and the nights felt even longer I was waiting for the sunrise that never came Closing these doors on the memories left behind them I'm building the ship to cast it all away all away Cause time is a healer that will mend the broken bones (but are you okay?) of a life made cleaner by being forced to walk it alone all alone

For the first time, in such a long time, I can’t function, I can't breathe. You’re never staring, cold and never caring, loosening your grip on me. You broke me from your strings; you vanished from my dreams, now I’m out in the open, vulnerable. You listened to their words, I thought that I came first; you’re a blow that’s unrecoverable. But I'll recover This is the part, where we fall apart. But you won’t put me together. We live and we learn, to take our turn But it hurts me to remember forgot who I was, forgot who I am, Your hostility has the best of me, sweet belligerence, Blissful Ignorance. You’re an old friend, the type to transcend, I could find you anywhere When we lost all contact, I set out to attack; I was left in a pit of despair, But I followed my instinct, traced your steps and then I’d think, of how I did you wrong, I became obsessed, with every aspect, of you and I, and us all along. But I guess that's over now This is the part, where we fall apart. But you won’t put me together. We live and we learn, to take our turn But it hurts me to remember forgot who I was, forgot who I am, Your hostility has the best of me, sweet belligerence, Blissful Ignorance. I can see you now. Do you see me? I can feel you now. Do you feel me? I can hear you now. Do you hear me, yeah? Because I’m begging and I’m pleading, cause I need you here with me Oh lord have mercy! Yeah! This is the part, where we fall apart. But you won’t put me together. We live and we learn, to take our turn But it hurts me to remember forgot who I was, forgot who I am, Your hostility has the best of me, sweet belligerence, Blissful Ignorance.

Remember Me 04:30
We are just wolves in the morning, scavenging on what's left and at night you hear us howling, so leave me be in a bed My eyes glisten in the moonlight But I swear that I'm just too uptight Cause the night it hides everything Bottled up emotions so I don't sink I can only go and fight when you're on my side Remember me, in only black and white Remember me, in only black and white Your only obsession is dot-to-dot-ing the freckles on my face but you haven't even counted how many are there Scribble lines over me so I can't breath a glass of water too far away too far to reach But my eyes glisten in the moonlight But I swear that I'm just too uptight Cause the night it hides everything Bottled up emotions so I don't sink I can only go and fight when you're on my side Remember me, in only black and white Remember me, in only black and white Remember me, in only black and - Cause the night it hides everything Bottled up emotions so I don't sink I can only go and fight when you're on my side Remember me, in only black and white Remember me, in only black and white Remember me, in only black and -
