When the light has died,
But you keep it all inside,
And the smile that you give them, it doesn't quite reach your eyes.
When every day is a performance,
For a show that never ends,
The lights go down and,
You're on that stage again,
We rewrite the narrative but,
Which way will it bend,
Better make the most of us,
For tomorrow we are dust.
Plate spinning, it all falls down,
Play it tragic, play the clown,
Bring the magic, never let them down.
When every day is a performance,
For a show that never ends,
The lights go down and,
You're on that stage again,
We rewrite the narrative but,
Which way will it bend,
Better make the most of us,
For tomorrow we are dust.
We are the imagination of ourselves,
We are the performance,
We are the imagination of ourselves.
When every day is a performance,
For a show that never ends,
The lights go down and,
You're on that stage again,
We rewrite the narrative but,
Which way will it bend,
Better make the most of us,
For tomorrow we are dust.

Love is easy,
When times are good,
But it takes a special kind of love,
To guide us through the dark,
When life 'ain't easy and,
When times are tough,
Then it takes an unspoken love,
When words just aren't enough.
So keep on loving me,
I'll keep on loving you,
Through the wind and through the rain,
So keep on loving me,
I'll keep on loving you,
Until we reach the journey's end.
Take my hand darling,
And I'll take your's,
Nothing that we could ever face,
Should be faced alone,
Just read my mind and,
I'll take my time,
A love like ours should,
Never be denied.
So keep on loving me,
I'll keep on loving you,
Through the wind and through the rain,
So keep on loving me,
I'll keep on loving you,
Until we reach the journey's end.
'Coz in my mind it's always you.

Numb - Tim Lee

Render me numb, unfeeling,
Take away this pain and leave me with nothing.
Quell the fire inside of me,
Bring me this strange elixir and set me free.
Here it comes, I break from the norm,
This uniform doesn't suit me anymore,
Here it comes, I break from the norm,
This uniform doesn't suit me anymore.
Every day it's like a fresh rejection,
Just let it ruminate in your reflection,
This trajectory and all that it's done,
It needs reversing before it's truly won.
Here it comes, I break from the norm,
This uniform doesn't suit me anymore,
Here it comes, I break from the norm,
This uniform doesn't suit me anymore.
Time is a thief,
A parasite, it bleeds me dry with no relief.

Second life, second try, fabricated glory time,
Fall apart, fall apart.
Play it mean, undermine, keep it clean, it's fiction time,
Play your part, play your part.
And all these things will fade away,
And all you're left with is the feeling they gave,
Fill your heart, fill your heart.
So collapse into irrelevance, fast decline 'till nothing left,
And nothing starts, until it trends.
Paint a smile, face the lens, all is perfect in your brand,
And it's a meme unto an end.
And all these things will fade away,
And all you're left with is the feeling they gave,
Fill your heart, fill your heart.
(Tulpa)
And all these things will fade away,
And all you're left with is the feeling they gave,
Fill your heart, fill your heart.

In my darkest of dreams I never wake up,
Caught in-between,
The light and the dark, this bustling cloud,
I dream aloud.
This beast in me, it never sleeps,
The shame I keep,
Feel it bleeding, the beast in me,
Buried deep.
Sinking down, deep below,
All this hurt,
Keep me from all I've done,
This legacy of dirt,
This beast in me, it never sleeps,
The shame I keep,
Feel it bleeding, the beast in me,
Buried deep.
It's all I can do to keep calm,
It takes all of my strength and your love,
It takes all my reserve when the beast it stirs in me,
In my darkest of dreams, I never wake up.

Darling, you are my everything,
And you are everything to me,
Darling, you solve everything,
You solve everything when you smile.
She said...
Leave your fears behind the door,
You can't worry about before,
Leave your fears behind the door,
Till you know in your heart that you've found the cure.
How can I put my trust in you?
Everyone else has let me down,
And how can I have faith in you?
Searching through the lost and found.
She said...
Leave your fears behind the door,
You can't worry about before,
Leave your fears behind the door,
Till you know in your heart that you've found the cure.
She said...
Leave your fears behind the door,
You can't worry about before,
Leave your fears behind the door,
Till you know in your heart that you've found the cure.

She Got It - Tim Lee

Do do do do do do do do do...She got it!
Do do do do do do do do do...She got it!
Do do do do do do do do do...She got it!
Do do do do
(x2)
The madness of love, it started with us,
No guilt required it's just a battle of wills,
This ennui could be the death of me,
But she, she knew a little hope was all that I need.
She got power, she got grace,
She got just about everything that I could ever want to claim.
Do do do do do do do do do...She got it!
Do do do do do do do do do...She got it!
Do do do do do do do do do...She got it!
Do do do do
(x2)
I lost myself along the way,
She got me wondering which of me I am today,
And what is mine?
And who am I?
Something about this girl makes me want to question why.
She got power, she got grace,
She got all kinds of everything to keep me firmly in my place.
Do do do do do do do do do...She got it!
Do do do do do do do do do...She got it!
Do do do do do do do do do...She got it!
Do do do do
(x2)
You made an old boy smile,
You brought some joy into my life,
I'm strangely hypnotised....
Do do do do do do do do do...She got it!

You left on Christmas day,
A suitably dramatic way to leave this; your life's stage,
And not a single day goes by when,
I don't think of you and wonder why, this world seems so grey.
And there's no Christmas sparkle since you went away,
No point in singing 'Merry Christmas,' now it's just another day,
I reached up for the star but the star it had no light,
No ringing carol bells, now it's just a silent night, a silent night.
You held a unique glamour in a truly mundane world,
A shining narcissus flower for a time so undeserved,
A sweet complexity in far too short a life,
A beautiful irreverence with a sardonic smile,
A silent night
A silent night
A silent night
A silent night
You left on Christmas day,
A suitably dramatic way to leave this; your life's stage.
