These scars tell of battles I fought, now I'm fractured
Come hear how it starts, believe me, 'cos it hurts me
I've got something to say, don't need your sympathy
Just hear these words today, I survived
I don't want to wait for my life to begin
I can't explain how
I feel it in the air as it touches my skin
And it all starts right now
These echos of ghosts in my soul, long ago now
I lost all control, now I let go, 'cos it haunts me
These voices in my head, won't stop until I'm dead
No longer lost, I'm found, I'm alive
I don't want to wait for my life to begin
I can't explain how
I feel it in the air as it touches my skin
And it all starts right now
I don't want to wait for my life to begin
I can't explain how
I feel it in the air as it touches my skin
And it all starts right now

Gaslight

I'm not crazy, that's what I say
As I'm lit-up by the gaslight, every single day
I'm not crazy
I'm not crazy, that's what I say
As I'm lit-up by the gaslight, every single day
And you wait and you hide, until the feeling subsides
And you question everything that's going on in your mind
Like a ghost in your soul, reaching out to be seen
I'm not losing my humanity, I need to be believed
Like a voice in your head, screaming out to be heard
Your friends just turn their back, no they don't like to be disturbed
It won't be long, you won't even last for long
Your dreams are almost halfway gone
Under the gaslight
Under the gaslight
And I'm not crazy, that's what I say
As I'm lit-up by the gaslight, every single day
I'm not crazy
And I'm not crazy

Another day on the island, another message on the tide
Sun sets on a new day, it's the same dream everynight
Everynight it's all the same, a voice calls from afar
Dependent on a shell to call your home, like the space between the stars
Everynight, everyday,
Everynight, everyday,
Everynight, everyday,
Everdayday
Everynight, everyday,
Everynight, everyday,
Everynight, everyday,
Everdayday
Never give up now, never give up now
Hold on, hold on, I'm too cold
Never give up now, never give up now
Hold on, hold on, I'm too cold
Everyday it's all the same, all my hopes are torn apart
Wall-off my ears, bury my heart
The hate will leave a scar
Everynight, everyday,
Everynight, everyday,
Everynight, everyday,
Everdayday
Everynight, everyday,
Everynight, everyday,
Everynight, everyday,
Everdayday
Never give up now, never give up now
Hold on, hold on, I'm too cold
Never give up now, never give up now
Hold on, hold on, I'm too cold
No one sees me for who I am, fading our of sight
The emptiness becomes your friend, you protect the spark inside
Everynight, everyday,
Everynight, everyday,
Everynight, everyday,
Everynight, everyday,
Everynight, everyday,
Everynight, everyday,
Everdayday
Never give up now, never give up now
Hold on, hold on, I'm too cold
Never give up now, never give up now
Hold on, hold on, I'm too cold

This is the day, there is no other
This is the time, you can't be late
I'll gladly change, it's the truth I'm after
Ignorance, Perfect bliss
Silent prayer, breakaway
I have to leave, I cannot stay
This small child that you erased
There is no proof, you covered-up the truth
I fought some battles, I carry scars
I'm done, I'm leaving
I'm supercharged
No Control, no control
No Control, no control
No Control, no control
No Control, no control
You single-out, to isolate
You spread your lies, to fabricate
Keep your head down, capitulate
Bide your time, calculate
Just don't speak, driftaway
A secret place, don't overplay
Don't make a sound, disassociate
If this is real, just give me something to feel
You know it doesn't matter anymore,
Feels like something indescribable,
I'm not losing my humanity,
Just becoming what I'm supposed to be
No Control, no control
No Control, no control
No Control, no control
No Control, no control
No Control, no control
No Control, no control
No Control, no control
No Control, no control
I fought some battles, I carry scars
I'm done, I'm leaving
I'm supercharged
I fought some battles, I carry scars
I'm done, I'm leaving
I'm supercharged
No Control, no control
No Control, no control

Midnight Child Bath, UK
Using my personal experience of childhood trauma and abuse to write deep and meaningful songs with a dark edge (and also the occassional Disney cover!).
