Clean 03:47
lyrics
Tick tock You're looking to the clock Hear the beat of a city Where you hate getting up Want a full stop on the very last page Of this chapter in your life But every endings got to start And you need it to be now Another bad hand And lines drawn in the sand They don't seem half as certain As they did when you could stand Are you so sure It's all part of a plan Every dog has his day Not every man will get a chance And you'll be amazed. When it hurts so bad intentions start to fade Why are you looking afraid When you're clean Ain't that enough for you You're clean Ain't that enough for you Think hard Remember who you are All the times you've been burned Don't have to change what's in your heart But for too long you've tried to be the one Who lives a life right In spite of all that's going wrong And you're still losing out At a crossroad And faith can unfold Will you finally let go Now the feelings getting old That you gave up More of your soul By denying what you've wanted And you've nothing left to show And you'll be amazed. When it hurts so bad intentions start to fade Why are you looking at me When you're clean Ain't that enough for you You're clean Ain't that enough for you You're clean Ain't that enough for you You're clean Oh ain't enough for you

Bleed 03:37
lyrics
It wasn't love We were just good friends I thought So when I saw you With him don't know know why it hurt When eyes are dry, crying can go by unheard And you're the one whose meant to hold me when I'm blue So why have I slowly fallen to pieces Why am I bleeding for you I feel I've lost something that I never had And I'm confused. Are these more than thoughts in my head. More than thoughts in my head Another dream To make me sure that something's changed What once was warm For me has now burst into flames But I'm a child When its gone, then it's my favourite game And you're the one who's meant to hold me when I'm blue I know in time That I'll be looking back and see A little boy all hung up on jealousy It doesn't help me now It doesn't set me free Cause you're the one who's meant to hold me when I'm blue So why have I slowly fallen to pieces Why am I bleeding for you I feel I've lost something that I never had And I'm confused. Are these more than thoughts in my head. More than thoughts in my head Bide my time and wait in line Cause if ever you want me I'm here Maybe what I feel ain't real But if ever you want me I'm here Tell him bye, I'll change my mind But if ever you want me I'm here Could be a phase and we'll go to waste But if that's all it is well then... Why have I slowly fallen to pieces Why am I bleeding for you I feel I've lost something that I never had And I'm confused. Are these more than thoughts in my head. More than thoughts in my head Why have I slowly fallen to pieces Why am I bleeding for you I feel I've lost something that I never had And I'm confused. Are these more than thoughts in my head. More than thoughts in my head Why have I slowly fallen to pieces Why am I bleeding for you Why have I slowly fallen to pieces Why am I bleeding for you

Icarus 04:59
lyrics
Ride these waves of new invention Build more towers that hang from sky Play like we're the new gods. Without consequence None that we can see, hear or feel Kings & queens harvest sunshine And make their wage from the darkness But learning from our history Greed has consequence So remember the past before you steal Get with the age. Got to rise up higher Fly to the sun 'til your wings catch fire (Come on!) No fear of falling to the surface Never wonder if its worth it Cause your feet don't feel the ground Pride came first, before our hearts climbed Despite the rise, we still feel small sometimes Are we truly limitless When nations hunger I'll cry but consume more each day Get with the age gotta rise up higher Right to the sun 'til our wings catch fire (Come on!) No fear of falling to the surface Never wonder if its worth it cause your feet don't feel the ground Green lies dead on a funeral pyre You shot through her wings when the wolves cried fire (Come on!) No fear of falling to the surface Never wonder if its worth it cause your feet don't feel the ground When we first learned to crawl We knew there'd be more Instead of bridges we built walls We hurried to war We started to fall But the flames won't stop us rising Get with the age gotta rise up higher Right to the sun 'til our wings catch fire (Come on!) No fear of falling to the surface Never wonder if its worth it cause your feet don't feel the ground Green lies dead on a funeral pyre You shot through her wings when the wolves cried fire (Come on!) No fear of falling to the surface Never wonder if its worth it cause your feet don't feel the ground Come on!

I Am Spartacus 03:03
lyrics
There's no reason to be lonely Cause you can't get the girl They say the world's an oyster And there's more than one pearl There's an ocean full of fish If fish is what you need But I need more than Juliet I need a crowd that's there for me So spare me all the reasons You've been writing off your dreaming As the fickle fantasies of a child Your discipline's dishonest Surely everything you wanted Can't be sinful or invalid so I Have set my eyes on the unclaimed heights Be damned if you don't see my name in neon lights I'll pay my dues if I fail to fly I'm not ashamed to fall if I try Cause I am Spartacus I am Spartacus You go in and then come back from work Your life is so routine You get your shocks on the freeview box Or in front of the big screen Everyday is a countdown Tto the things you're gonna do But you never do as much with the weekend As each week does to you So spare me all the reasons You've been writing off your dreaming As the fickle fantasies of a child Your discipline's dishonest Surely everything you wanted Can't be sinful or invalid so I Have set my eyes on the unclaimed heights Be damned if you don't see my name in neon lights I'll pay my dues if I fail to fly I'm not ashamed to fall if I try Cause I am Spartacus I am Spartacus Desire Under fire I have climbed up from low Bled & I've cried And in time You will know So spare me all the reasons You've been writing off your dreaming As the fickle fantasies of a child Your discipline's dishonest Surely everything you wanted Can't be sinful or invalid so I Have set my eyes on the unclaimed heights Be damned if you don't see my name in neon lights I'll pay my dues if I fail to fly I'm not ashamed to fall if I try Cause I am Spartacus I am Spartacus I am Spartacus I am Spartacus
