Fear of Losing 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Dress for the kill, laugh when nothing’s funny, smile at will Shoot for the win, lose a little money, avoid discipline I’m gonna meet you there later tonight as a friend or an enemy On the off chance you’re picking a fight You should know that the fear of losing means nothing to me Take every chance, risk your reputation, learn how to dance Don’t believe what they say; “The fire’s out” they always shout But they lead you to the flames You’re gonna meet me there later tonight and you want me to listen in Even if you can get me to bite as you laugh at the fear of losing It doesn’t mean that you’ll win When we’re all trapped inside in a secret paradise You can bet our minds are racing When we’re all acting fine with the state of real life You can bet our knees are shaking When I feel I’m alive, I don’t need to prove I’m right You can bet my heart is beating If you want you can come and see On the off chance you’re picking a fight You should know that the fear of losing means nothing to me

Around the Bend 03:52
lyrics
buy track
When you’re at the centre of everybody’s gravity Trying to be someone they can rely on If you ever get the sense you’re on your own Take a little time to contend with your troubled mind Anybody anywhere has a point of breaking, a risk not worth taking When you can’t go on, it doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong Baby you can try again around the bend When you keep the door to your heart unlocked for everyone Acting like a saint so they don’t have to If it ever leaves you feeling incomplete Take a little time to contend with your troubled mind Anybody anywhere has a point of breaking, a choice not worth making When you can’t go on, it doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong Baby you’ll be on the mend around the bend Doing more than what’s required isn’t always right When no one needs a helping hand, don’t put up a fight Nothing matters more to me than what you keep alive I only want to hear you laugh and see you smile Everybody needs a break once in a while If you want to help with humankind… Take a little time to contend with your troubled mind Anybody anywhere has a point of breaking, a habit they’re shaking When you can’t go on, it doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong Baby you can try again around the bend It’s not pretend Baby you’ll be on the mend Around the bend It’s not the end Something new can still begin Around the bend

Confidante 02:17
lyrics
buy track
I see it but you never made it obvious You needed to remain a bit ambiguous But now you just hang around You never make a sound You have the nerve tell me you don’t feel anything But when there’s something you care about I’ve seen you scream and shout You only need to look beyond your own windowsill And I know you will You have it but you always acted so unsure A bad habit though you have the chance to find the cure But if you just hang around And never make a sound You’ll only end up thinking you can’t feel anymore When there’s something you care about I’ve seen you scream and shout You only need to break away from your reckless plan And I think you can I mean, I hope you can When there’s something you care about You don’t have to scream and shout You only need to see what you’ve done wrong and make it right Is there any chance you might?

Catching Up With You 02:58
lyrics
buy track
We all know nothing you say ever comes from the heart Not even when everybody’s torn apart Standing by, you’re rehearsing a lie ‘cause you’re cold inside We all know nothing you do is a genuine act You just need a chance to stab us in the back All your life, thought we never knew But now it’s catching up with you Through fear and silence, you let your indecision says what your morals lack Through force and violence, you only speak a language poised for an attack We all know nothing you say ever comes from the heart Not even when everybody’s torn apart Standing by, you’re rehearsing a lie ‘cause you’re cold inside We all know nothing you do is a genuine act You just need a chance to stab us in the back All your life, thought we never knew But now it’s catching up with you Anyone who’s on your side must be lying to themselves just to sleep at night Anyone who can’t decide really needs to ask themselves what they feel is right We all know nothing you say every comes from the heart Not even when everybody’s torn apart Standing by, you’re rehearsing a lie ‘cause you’re cold inside We all know nothing you do is a genuine act of any kind All our lives we knew But now it’s catching up with you Catching up with you Catching up with you
