Hideaway 04:00
Hideaway (Lyrics) Chorus We wait for the sunrise hold tight The memory’s still inside us Hide away from the daylight ain’t right They’re running but they’ll never find us Could you ever feel real love? Coz’ I’m trying but I still can’t tell So you can take All my feelings, all my demons And leave me here to myself Verse 1 I stood in the fire baby, Saw reflection in myself And as the flames grew higher baby I was screaming out for help Do you ever feel you’re bleeding when there ain’t no blood at all? And I always feel I’m higher Just when I’m about to fall Up early with the sun and the stars Where the cold wind feels so good (And it feels) Hide away in the shade till’ tomorrow Living in my neck of the woods Listen if you’re free then you’re free And that’s all we need to worry about Keep running till’ we find we’re in paradise Where we walk around thinking aloud Chorus We wait for the sunrise hold tight The memory’s still inside us Hide away from the daylight ain’t right They’re running but they’ll never find us Could you ever feel real love? Coz’ I’m trying but I still can’t tell So you can take All my feelings, all my demons And leave me here to myself (Where will you be?) Let’s hide away x9 And still I pray we’ll be ok We’ll find a way With all the feelings all these demons With they red eye red eye red eye Verse 2 Feel love Gripping hold of that white rug Like night bugs we flight up With white doves beside us Won’t find us Behind us Is fine dust we left I was in other minds but would you find An escape route for stress Only success will calm me down I am colour in the clouds Mix Rain Man with Peter Pan I fly and Wendy counts And it’s profound That from a shade of grey I turn around and save the day I’m standing on a razor blade My memory begins to fade And names and places seem the same Who am I to blame? I’m just an empty vase with a given brain I’m just a name I’m the flame’s spark That came from the same sharp knife But the difference is I’m disappearing into the night So shoot me on sight right? Like I’m just here for the fun It’s a jungle out there all I can do is run Come when you’re ready the air is heavy I feel it’s ok Bury me beneath the leaves where I can hide away Today Chorus We wait for the sunrise hold tight The memory’s still inside us Hide away from the daylight ain’t right They’re running but they’ll never find us Could you ever feel real love? Coz’ I’m trying but I still can’t tell So you can take All my feelings, all my demons And leave me here to myself (Where will you be?) [Repeat] Let’s hide away x9 And still I pray we’ll be ok We’ll find a way With all the feelings all these demons With they red eye red eye red eye

Water 03:42
Water Hey, how high are we Yeah yeah Ooh hey How high are we [Verse 1] I stick to the rivers that I’m used to Chasing waterfalls wanted it all but I refuse to Revisit the mental space that I was in Thought I could drown my sins Cold apartment ten glasses of gin And that’s still venom to a kid like me The outcome is likely To be mediocre forever But I strive to be better My level was set high Almost too high Naivety was key believing anybody could try and fly I rely on flowers in the dark The primary spark Not the one that lit the fire But the trier with the heart You can relax into this life it’ll never set you apart Ink flows outta my body creating abstract art A lot of it I want nobody to see ‘Cause there was times I’s experiencing what you wouldn’t believe Stemmed from that feeling it’s a part of my life Used to be the only way I could sleep at night But it’s alright you can [Chorus] Take all of my money All that matters to me and go Let it go It makes me levitate And baby you can’t save my lows Into the bottle I go Oh I know And it feels like water x3 And it’s fading me out, me out [Verse 2] 
Easy, the heater’s broken it’s freezing Looking for love but found trouble it’s teasing Believing in something else that broke down It’s a familiar sound But you the last one to fly The only one left on the ground But build mountains as they disappear into the sky Humble yourself the arrogance just ain’t appealing to the eye And it’s fine The night terrors will never get me this time Bedroom bully under the sheets I was confined A sign of something else out there I promised to keep the faith But it’s confusing nobody else could relate And now I’m safe in my headspace I let the lyrics write themselves Body’s the mechanic purpose is stealth Still I felt indestructible but it’s still pulling me back Like you expect to sit here and never react Stay on track until you see me switching lanes I had this poison in my body so many times that it all tastes the same [Chorus] Take all of my money All that matters to me and go Let it go It makes me levitate And baby you can’t save my lows Into the bottle I go Oh I know And it feels like water x3 And it’s fading me out, me out How high are we

This Is the Life [Chorus] ‘Cause I believe in these visions and they control me I found no love in the city like that was all I need And I’m a slave to adding pages to the story Until the day we fall I’m singing this is the life No this is the life Yeah No this is the life Yeah Right before we fall I’m singing this is the life [Verse 1] I am mountain high Step outta my body and into my mind Careless livin’ only god forgive him I’ve risen to free my insides And the beat ride out Close your mouth we’re telepathic I can hear your heart Her eyes are fire She said be quiet She could see right into the dark This is hardly Adam and Eve Leave into the night Just living the life Decide we can push the boundaries Escape the town we Were living in to see whats outside If we don’t come back Take that as a freedom of soul Stories for when I’m old I’m lion king Beyond a dream Human beings take control still we give back More than rap This aint how bigs your gat and that crap Lack real synergy Are you telling me you can emulate my energy I’ll go for days This aint a phase Engraved in my genetics These tired eyes don’t compromise Even if I never get the credit Just Let it breathe Then take it in If this the end where do we begin If this the start where do we depart I speak my mind so where’s my heart I’ll chart just borderline insane Perceive my life as just a game Still the flame will never die As long as I never comply [Chorus] ‘Cause I believe in these visions and they control me I found no love in the city like that was all I need And I’m a slave to adding pages to the story Until the day we fall I’m singing this is the life No this is the life Yeah No this is the life Yeah Right before we fall I’m singing this is the life [Verse 2] If we both die in open arms This is all we wanted from our lives This is all we needed from our lives Yeah yeah And if we Don’t lay down no we don’t lay down at all Then this is on us Yeah yeah this is on us Yeah this on us We don’t even think twice Put it on all I have in this life And we are to blame We are the same We’re living inside the middle of hell Keeping secrets that we still never will tell And for the first time you know this is on us It’s like I need to feel you before I can trust Later we’ll decide if we’re doing it right And we’ll Lay down our feelings in the dead of the night In the dead of the night We’re just living our lives Living our lives [Chorus] ‘Cause I believe in these visions and they control me I found no love in the city like that was all I need And I’m a slave to adding pages to the story Until the day we fall I’m singing this is the life No this is the life Yeah No this is the life Yeah Right before we fall I’m singing this is the life

Hold Up 04:11
Hold Up [Chorus] And why you feel like that You call me and I can’t call back Still workin’ Hold up doll x4 Whoa And I’m still off track A lil’ money buying clothes off the rack Still workin’ Hold up doll x4 Whoa [Verse 1] I’m feeling like giving you A part of my soul Tired of an empty house that’s hardly a home But I’m never there No one to care ‘cept a couple of friends That promised if we make it big I wouldn’t have to pretend The end’s closer than we imagined But we live like nothing’s happened There’s another world out there outside of rapping In the finest fabric to cover up the inside of you But she stay naked ‘cause real hoes don’t confide in you Til’ she tell a friend who tell a friend about who’s gettin’ it Send a couple pictures he’ll never show And now it’s on the Internet That feeling gets deep in your soul your hearts cold Praying your mom and dad don’t know And said you’ll never trust no man You hate your friends But you’ll be running back to that same fella again And he’s promised and you believe that he’s honest but he’s the same And I’ll be your fall back once again and it’s a shame, yeah [Chorus] And why you feel like that You call me and I can’t call back Still workin’ Hold up doll x4 Whoa And I’m still off track A lil’ money buying clothes off the rack Still workin’ Hold up doll x4 Whoa And I aint got much time But time is money and money’s on my mind And it’s all for you For you, for you For you darling yeah And no matter how hard I grind It will never compensate for how much I’ll shine for you For you, for you For you [Verse 2] Stay patient Hearts still vacant though You found love again but he’s faking though I can tell You said some things that you can’t reveal Hours of make-up sex But it wasn’t easily concealed And then he left you in the bed you were sleeping in Met a couple of women head spinning from that drink again Then you questioning about which friend needs the alibi Lip stick on his face and he still lie, you still cry And still why he blag It’s just a little sad You stick by his side without knowing why you have And I donno why you mad I admit These women always fall for the pricks Thick as shit Have you looking like the bitch And then you come back run back Single again the funs back but once that punks back Heart attack And more and more alcohol won’t help Drunk too early on the streets by yourself Leaving voicemails, to me [Bridge] Why do, oh why do Why do you Why do you feel x2 Darling Why do you feel x2 Like that like that [Oohs & Aahs] [Chorus] And why you feel like that You call me and I can’t call back Still workin’ Hold up doll x4 Whoa And I’m still off track A lil’ money buying clothes off the rack Still workin’ Hold up doll x4 Whoa X2

Quiver I give you love You bring me joy You bring me joy [Chorus] And I feel like our worlds are changing We’re strangers in danger oh no Oh no And this aint the same road I’m used to I refuse to move this on my own On my own And it makes me quiver [Verse 1] oh I aint felt this ages yeah you know this feeling is dangerous we are we are the same living in the moonlight looking for the day ok if you looking for more meet me by the water and if I had a son or a daughter I’d tell em to leave it Love isn’t needed Sleeping with the fishes and it’s making me seasick Believe this I am the man with a heavy heart She a woman with broken parts Show no remorse What a shame How everything we do is a game flame pain We can pretend that we can start again I try and give you love which makes it hard again Tell your friends that we don’t speak As if it means anything else to me [Chorus] And I feel like our worlds are changing We’re strangers in danger oh no Oh no And this aint the same road I’m used to I refuse to move this on my own On my own And it makes me quiver [Verse 2] I see colour Shoot into the treetops With a freak top that beat box And maybe it’s the liquor but I feel I’m at the end of the road With a canister of gasoline and a fire hose I do it right A Friday night I should be out with my boys But guess who making all the noise I was listening to Stan had a plan till your friend came home with you So I throw him in with you Put up a fight and that’s fair enough ‘cause for the first time I ain’t talking tough I turn the music up and had the windows down While I drove around in the backseat exactly was the woman I love Face white as a glove My guardian angel from heaven above I pulled up on a slip road walked for a couple of miles One under each arm took me a while Found a quiet spot that I liked Where all our screams would disappear into the night Don’t fight me please Don’t make it harder than it has to be Ten seconds and your body will leave Wait I can’t breathe I didn’t pull the trigger Looked down at my chest and the red grew bigger Who the hell what the hell just happened I fell to my knees and that’s when this accent spoke to me And it was loud and clear Saw the body of an officer it was hard to hear Tried to mouth the words as I lay on the floor I’m sorry I don’t know what for Time ticking away in this bed I made Finally I just wasn’t afraid A million people surround me I’m glad they found me Everything is silent the colour disappears I forget why the hell I’m here I no longer live
