Breathe With Me
03:37

|
VERSE 1:
I am here
And I am real
I am always
And I have never been
I am now
As I was then
I can be a shoulder
If you need a friend to lean upon
CHORU’
We are living in a world
That isn’t quite what it should be
And we try so hard
But nothing ever seems to change but us
And that’s the only change we ever need
So breathe with me
VERSE 2:
I am small
Among the stars
So is a mountain
And all these works of ours
But I can feel
And I can see
We need each other
So breathe with me

Ready or Not
03:01

|
VERSE 1:
What is the world coming to
I think it’s coming to its senses
Everyone is waking up
Tuning out the voice of those who thinks they rule us
CHORUS:
We will see changes yeah
There are going to be changes everywhere
And we can scream and cry and shout
But the changes are gonna come yeah
Ready or not
VERSE 2:
That may be a good start we have made
But we still need to stop and think
Because our gods are only made of paper
We Worship them at every bank
VERSE 3:
So what are we really looking for
What do we really want to be
Someone our children will be proud of
Or just a puppet of industry

Love and Freedom
02:50
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
We can all feel the light
Upon our skin
Everyone just worships the sun
But not the rain
And we can follow our own desires
And be the fool
We can choose to serve only ourselves
And lose the truth
CHORUS:
We can sometimes see
The beauty and the symmetry
A universe of stars and light
The coldness of the darkest night
A sense of traction
when I’m coming home from far away
I realise that it’s not freedom
But love I crave
VERSE 2:
We can feel every storm
And know it’s right
That we have to live through it again
To earn our place in the sun
And we can spend every second chance
Just like before
Paying only a moment’s thought
To the cost of it all

Ain't No One Listenin'
02:28
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
Ain’t no one listening
No one at all
No one who says a word
So I know I am heard
Went to the crossroads
But I wouldn’t sign
Cos the devil can’t have my soul
It’s all that is mine
CHORUS:
Ain’t nobody listening
No one at all
Ain’t nobody listening
Nobidy at all
VERSE 2:
Ain’t nobody seeing
No one at all
All the pain and the suffering
Making everyone fall
So will you stand at the crossroads
With your arms out wide
Thinking that your ego
Is more important than life

Covering the Cracks
04:17
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
It’s so easy
How we paper over cracks
To cover up the things
That we all know that we are doing
And it’s so crazy that
We see the things we need to do
But turn aside
And think it will not matter just this once
Does your heart beat
Like a plaintiff wailing
Well my mind is constant
But my head is aching
I can see the world
And I can feel its stress is greater
Small hurts now
Avoid a big hurt later
CHORUS:
You make-believe
With your liberal sympathies
Standing proud and thinking
You can pay to make it go away
Well you’re just playing
Thinking things can’t change
Because all you want to do
Is just cover up the cracks and keep consuming
If you’re sane you know that
Change is really coming
Because we can’t do the things
That we all know that we have got to do
And everything else
Yeah anything else
Is just covering the cracks
Yeah covering the cracks
VERSE 2:
Pull the covers up
To stop the demons
But it’s just reflections
That you are seeing
Can you see how
We all make these choices
All those tiny moments
All add up to monsters
So your armchair doesn’t
Match the curtains
Well my heart is bleeding for you
My whole world is shaking
I can sense you’ll never
See the bigger picture
Short-term gains
Paint such a brighter picture for you

One Convenience
03:38
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
How do we know
How many actions will take hold
And why should we act
If we believe that we are acting all alone
But think what we achieved
To cut the smog the we all breathed
And what we did with CFC’s
It seemed that we together we had changed the world
CHORUS:
We learned to fly
To melt the rocks to make our wings
We split the atom
And walked upon the moon
We can choose
To stop believing we can take forever
Give something back
By denying yourself one convenience
VERSE 2:
For just a little while
Collectively it seemed to work
But now we need to make
Some inconvenient sacrifices
It’s true that what we told ourselves
Was not entirely so
Some may have lied
But God we tried
And that was each and every one of us

Ian Luckett (Data) Birmingham, UK
No autotune - EVER!
You may notice I use lots of harmonies in vocal overdubs, but it is always just my voice with maybe some echo and a little bit of reverb!!!!!
