Prudence 02:35
My mask, if I could tear it off, and paint on top And show it like some smoke and mirror scene Those words would not come out of a single sentence you’d say You'd say that when you look forward they can see you You're in the angles in sea foam green Ya you, you light up so bright, you become yellow You’re just like sunshine, you know it too when you’d Smile for the photograph Smile for the photograph Smile for the photograph La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la When you look forward Oh can you see me I’m in the angles Prism of perception I’ll shine your colours Come here and love me When you look forward Oh can you see me I’m in the angles Prism of perception I’ll shine your colours Come here and love me Smile for the photograph Shine for the photograph Smile for the photograph Shine for the photograph Smile for the photograph

Naked 04:30
He was another boy looking for love, in all the wrong places When he stayed out to find it He kept himself hid, invisible He was on his knees He was on his knees He was on his knees He was on his knees And I knew that I wanted to be naked Face first, enter, face first, enter Now we're counting stars in fall Nobody's here to steal our spark A fire that burns in a sea We can be selfless when we please This is the place where I can be myself This is the place where I can love you Face first, enter, face first You enter, face first And I knew then I wanted to be naked When you make me feel like I should run I know that there would be no other one, like you. Is there a moment to replace Is there something that you'd like change from the time we met While you were on your knees? You enter, face first, enter You enter, face first, enter Your touch makes me, Enter face first Your love makes me emotional Music by Mani Khaira Lyrics by Mani Khaira & Christine Stoesser

Machine 04:26
This is a machine It’s pacing, defacing your brain This is a machine It passes, then masses your frame And it breathes It’s boneless, it's heartless and bare And it dances, it dances, it dances Ooo, ooo We are not in one piece We’re fragments of what we created together When lovers fall apart, lovers lose there heart Love is a machine This love is a machine Bounds us to comfort, hard to set free This love is a machine And it dances, it dances So Dance Dance All the words we’ve said All the dreams we’ve shared Have been feeding our fire All the things I want All the things you want Don’t see eye to eye with desire Are we falling apart Are we gonna end Are we falling apart Are we gonna end Are we gonna end Are we Are we This love is a machine And it dances It’s passing then massing your frame It’s pacing defacing your brain This love is a machine This love is a machine

Mere Miles 04:35
Drop the keys off at the neighbours I’m going away I knew from the first moment that you were my love You will never be all alone and we will be forever and we’d have our love to live for our lives I never want to be without you and when I close my eyes I’m tripping not knowing what to do You make me feel like I could fly Mere miles away from you Should I stay and talk about this With you beside Hours of thought fill this world and I was sinking in Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking of you far too often every single place that we have been Unintentional impulses moving me up into space And you’re still on my mind On my way to you, I'm drawing circles in the air and I’m leaving this world far behind You made me feel like I could fly Mere miles away from you Should I stay and talk about this With you beside Mere miles away from you Should I stay and talk about this With you beside What could have happened if I was away with you Say that we could be Each others stone Each others everything Drenching my heart with the weight of maybe you’ll be alone with me Mere miles Away From you Should i stay and talk about this With you Beside Mere miles away from you Should I stay and talk about this With you Beside Mere miles away from you Should I stay and talk about this With you Beside Music by Mani Khaira Lyrics by Mani Khaira & Christine Stoesser

Lions 04:24
I may be an easy target for your manipulation I can jump easily through your rings of fire Your touch, your words this hypnotization I won't be running I've become stagnant like water and I've started to shift With nothing to hide You did it again, you got me to bow on your torso, and speak in your tongue Speak in your tongue We are lions I am the lion We are lions Reaching for heart You give me fair I give you What I want You give me touch I give you a loose response And I, I am the curtain you close At the end of the day With all of your memories You take and want Back home and share with your mates You share with your mates We are lions We are lions We are lions Reaching for heart

Shorelines 05:18
Put me on top And tell me That I'm worthy of more, as I As I pour down your arms like liquid Are you happy now After I’m gone You will wonder if this is the time The time and the space That you needed Cutting corners and telling lies I am like the innocent kind I am true to you and I am strong When it's cold outside i am warm when I’m with you Wrapped around these arms and i am here Defending my version of truth Say it again We can be free’r When we’re Between The blue lines of shores ending I wake up in the morning 8:45 Put on my shoes and continue walking Hoping one day this distance will be closer to you I hope you feel I hope you’re turning around like I, I am So say it again We can be free’r When we’re Between The blue lines of shores ending Say it again We can be free’r When we’re Between The blue lines of shores ending Say the things We can be Heart in heart Our timing Oh the space in-between is like liquid that’s been rushing through Through me My heart is flailing My skin is frail I'm cutting all the ties from here to there I am all We’re all the same We’ll have to change We'll have to We'll have to change
