Track 1 of release Two Sides To My Coin..

lyrics

Blessed with a gift and a curse,
And watch the walls seem to close in.
Swallow the world,
And get smothered by the ocean.
Wake up to words,
That seem to drown out the motion.
Just in the blink of an eye.

There’s two side to my coin and it’s just a flip away.
Feathers they float but not when they are soaked in hate.

And I’ll keep running running running,
Through the fire fire fire,
Through the warmth warmth warmth warmth,
‘Til I’ve lost it all, ‘til I’ve lost it all in my head,
In my head, in my head.

If life were a tightrope,
I’d be hanging on by nothing but my teeth.
So I’ll wear a blindfold,
And maybe just maybe it’ll set me free.
If fear was lifes’ lampshade,
Then the light isn’t as bright as it used to be.
Just in the blink of an eye.

There’s two side to my coin and it’s just a flip away.
Feathers they float but not when they are soaked in hate.

And I’ll keep running running running,
Through the fire fire fire,
Through the warmth warmth warmth warmth,
‘Til I’ve lost it all, ‘til I’ve lost it all in my head,
In my head, in my head.

How could it stay,
How could it go,

And I’ll keep running running running,
Through the fire fire fire,
Through the warmth warmth warmth warmth,
‘Til I’ve lost it all, ‘til I’ve lost it all in my head,
In my head, in my head.
