Without a doubt
The time has come for me to sell out
Eventually
The same will come to everyone
I knew to run, I chose to stay
I had the plan but lost my way
Anything can happen
I broke the rules, I played the game
I lost the round and brought this shame
Anything can happen
I turned my back became a slave
I sealed my fate and dug my grave
There’s a price you pay for selling out
Unknown to me
I traded peace for currency
Looking back
I can find the warning signs
I knew to run, I chose to stay
I had the plan but lost my way
Anything can happen
I broke the rules, I played the game
I lost the round and brought this shame
Anything can happen
Intentions lost I closed that door
Consumed by greed I lost it all
That’s the price you pay for selling out
I knew to run, I chose to stay
I had the plan but lost my way
Please don't judge me
I broke the rules, I played the game
I don't respect myself
I lost the round and brought this shame
The price of selling out
I turned my back became a slave
I sealed my fate and dug my grave
Intentions lost I closed that door
Consumed by greed I lost it all
That’s the price you pay for selling out
The price you pay for selling out
The price you pay for selling out
Anything can happen

Started out just an ordinary morning til I got the feeling things would change
I saw your face and I knew that I was going to make it through the day
I was lost and lonely
Broken before you found me
You are the only place I can escape from it all
Hold it close so that it never goes away
Hold it close so that it never goes away
Started out just an ordinary person til I got the feeling things would change
Saw your face and I knew my life was never going to be the same
I was lost and lonely
Broken before you found me
You are the only place I can escape from it all
Run down, bruised and listless
Hopeless before I knew this
You are the only place I can escape from it all
Hold it close so that it never goes away
Hold it close so that it never goes away
When I’ve lost my way, When I fear the day
When I’m trapped inside, When I cannot hide
You’re my escape
I was lost and lonely
Broken before you found me
You are the only place I can escape from it all
Run down, bruised and listless
Hopeless before I knew this
You are the only place I can escape from it all
Hold it close so that it never goes away
Hold it close so that it never goes away
Started out just an ordinary morning until I got the feeling things would change

Nothing Left To Lose

It doesn’t surprise me that there were years of grieving
It doesn’t surprise me the land was occupied
It doesn’t surprise that people were arrested
for a justice they had always been denied
But what surprised me was how many people bought it
We sit and watched them
But we did not think it through
You’ll never understand
Until they come for you
When you see it happen what action will you choose?
You will find yourself alone when there’s nothing left to lose
It didn’t surprise me that people have opinions
It didn’t surprise me that it made it to The News
It didn’t surprise me that people used free speech
to protest others with beliefs they disapproved
But what surprised me was how many people bought it
We bound and gagged them
But we did not think it through
You’ll never understand
Until they silence you
When you see it happen what action will you choose?
You will find yourself alone when there’s nothing left to lose
When there’s nothing left to lose
When there’s nothing left to lose
You will find yourself alone

We need to win this fight
Are you bowing out? Are you bowing out?
You promised me we’d cope
Then the rain came down and I filled with doubt
Breathe, The future is an open door
Just Breathe, The Present’s not the gift I’d hoped for
Take, take a moment to appreciate you
I find it hard to concentrate
The moment consumes the day
Third place waiting for a second chance has left a fierce denial that I will long embrace
If it means that you’re alive
We made it to the storm but never made it out
Never made it out
I promised you we’d cope
But as the rain came down you were filled with doubt
Breathe, The future is an open door
Just Breathe, The Present’s not the gift I’d hoped for
Take, take a moment to appreciate you
I find it hard to concentrate
The moment consumes the day
Third place waiting for a second chance has left a fierce denial that I will long embrace
If it means that you’re alive
The only chance I feel I have, I will survive if you’re still alive
The only chance I feel I have, I will survive if you’re still alive
The only chance I feel I have, I will survive if you’re still alive
The only chance I feel I have, I will survive if you’re still alive, if you’re still alive
Breathe, The future is an open door
Just Breathe, The Present’s not the gift I’d hoped for
Take, take a moment to appreciate you
I find it hard to concentrate
The moment consumes the day
Third place waiting for a second chance has left a fierce denial that I will long embrace
If it means that you’re alive
Take, take a moment to appreciate you
I find it hard to concentrate
The moment consumes the day
Third place waiting for a second chance has left a fierce denial that I will long embrace
If it means that you’re alive

Borrowed Time

Oh how the years count up but it’s more like a countdown of how much time we have left around
I’m one with the fact I’m checking out anytime soon that’s why I’ve got my bags packed
What legacy are you gunna leave with thousands of likes and a trail of selfies?
Does anybody know what you even look like everything filtered or set in a perfect light?
Every morning that you wake and every breath of air is a gift you choose to take
I’m too tired I can hear you say but you gotta wake up and put the screen away
You can’t take back any day once the day has passed you
You have bought into a hoax which is consequential
You underestimate your life by trading it in for borrowed time
I’m gunna tell you the truth of how it is when your parents leave you it leaves a sting
You feel scared like when you were four and you lost your parents at the grocery store
This time they won’t find you, you’re all alone and there’s no one there to guide you
The unconditional love they gave were sacrifices you never knew they made
You’re out of time when you realise when they are in the ground you can’t apologise
If you’re parents are alive today they are worth more than a text so put the screen away
You can’t take back any day once the day has passed you
You have bought into a hoax which is consequential
You underestimate your life by trading it in for borrowed time
Oh how the years add up and the days count down
Oh how the years add up and the days count down
Oh how the years add up and the days count down
Oh how the years add up and the days count down
All eyes on you
If you know kids then you know it’s true, little people gunna copy everything you do
What you eat, how you treat people, what you say, becomes them at school the next day
You’re in the room but they feel alone, you’re hard to impress when you are staring at your phone
Your app’s got a new feature but your kid’s get more attention from their teacher
Aunties, Uncles, Siblings, Mums and Dads you’re the only family your kid’s gunna have
Give the kid real love and start today, leave a legacy and put the screen away
You can’t take back any day once the day has passed you
You have bought into a hoax which is consequential
You underestimate your life by trading it in for borrowed time
Oh how the years add up and the days count down
Oh how the years add up and the days count down
Oh how the years add up and the days count down
Oh how the years add up and the days count down

All Right

I missed you by miles in every way
What else is there left to say?
If I had one chance to put things right
Sometimes words can save a life
I would hold you tight and say
It will be all right, all right
It will be all right
It will be all right
It will be all right
It will be all right
I will survive this bitter end
What else is there left to say?
I am lost and far away
But I will be all right, all right
I will be all right
If you are all right
I will be all right
If you are all right
I will be all right
If you are all right
I will be all right
If you are all right
It will be all right
It will be all right
I will be all right
If you are all right
I promise you I’ll be all right
If you promise me that you’re all right
Give me a sign that you’re all right
And I’ll give you a sign that I’m all right
I’m all right
All right
Please give me a sign that you’re all right
It will be all right

You Owe Me

I missed you by miles in every way is all I can say
After 25 years almost to the day
Nothing’s changed
I still feel the pain
If someone looks you in the face and tells you time heals
Put them in their place
I think it’s fair to admit you owe me
I’m still waiting for a sign you’ll show me
I think it’s fair to admit you owe me
I’m still waiting for a sign you’ll show me
Two wrongs don’t make a right
But if you had survived it would make two left
I feel pain in my chest
When I think of all the words that I could of said
Robbing you blind of your chances
I should be arrested for theft
If I could go back I know what I would say
So I guess that means I’ve learnt a lesson
Pity the hard way hurts, it burns
Trying too sleep but you just turn
If someone tells you time heals to your face
Put them in their place
I think it’s fair to admit you owe me
I’m still waiting for a sign you’ll show me
I think it’s fair to admit you owe me
I’m still waiting for a sign you’ll show me

I don't respect myself
That's why I'm selling out
