FOCUS

This situation is out of control
Frustrations in overload
I am feeling so all alone
Oh how it confuses so

I see the dark one laughing
Enjoying the chaos he caused
Watching our love lives turn into
Shells of what it was

Does your blood not boil inside
Cause I can’t keep it together
All the anger i try to hide
Don’t leave me damaged forever

Why don’t you
Just fix your eyes on me
We’ve been over this do
Not lose the sight to see
What I am
Why don’t you
Just fix your eyes on me
We’ve been over this do
Not lose the sight to see
What I am doing
Doing
Put your focus on me
Doing doing
Put your focus on me

I hear your cries all right,
It is robbing your sleep at night
Look in it too much and it will
Leave you blindsided you

Worry too much about that
Do not let it run your head
Fixate on me instead
I won’t let this go unpunished

You don’t know how my blood boils inside
But it’s the last storm to weather
I’ll judge his destructions worldwide
Won’t leave you damaged forever

Why don’t you
Just fix your eyes on me
We’ve been over this do
Not lose the sight to see
What I am
Why don’t you
Just fix your eyes on me
We’ve been over this do
Not lose the sight to see
What I am doing
Doing
Put your focus on me
Doing doing
Put your focus on me

Don’t hide the anger
It will only make it worse
Talk to me
Talk to me
Talk to me
Talk to me
Don’t shy away
When you are this hurt
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me

Will you come to me
Wil you come to me
Will you talk to me
Oh

ONLY ONE

Do you remember
Those summer nights
We were lying under the covers
Never another lover
And everytime when you
Hold me tight
You take me back to late september
Love me ‘till I remember

You were my first
You’ll be my last
We made mistakes
But that’s in the past now
Know I’ll never leave
No one I’d rather be with
No one else can make me feel this way

People keep telling me
Every love fades in time
Baby not you and I

Do you remember
Those summer nights
We were lying under the covers
Never another lover
And everytime when you
Hold me tight
You take me back to late september
Love me ‘till I remember

Oh

Oh we’ve had our rocky start
Up and down with broken hearts
We looked like damaged art
Beyond compare
But he found us there
Very broken
And out of fuel
But he fixed us
Remind me once again
How I’m
The only for you

Do you remember
Those summer nights
We were lying under the covers
Never another lover
And everytime when you
Hold me tight
You take me back to late september
Love me ‘till I remember

LOVE MYSELF

Might not have the perfect body
But it’s serving me just fine
I don’t care if by certain standards
I don’t even hit the alright

For too long I’ve let others
Determine my worth
It’s not a fair road to walk
It ends in getting hurt

I mean
I’ve learned it the hard way
I love love
Myself self anyway
Despite what others say
Don’t act
And talk walk
Look like
Others would
But love love
Myself self anyway
Oh
I love love
Myself self anyway

I’ve been called many things
But they never seem to add up
I’ve been told many times
No matter how i try
I’ll never be enough

Too long I lived my life
Hating every part of me
No longer waste my time
Being someone i’m not meant to be

I mean
I’ve learned it the hard way
I love love
Myself self anyway
Despite what others say
Don’t act
And talk walk
Look like
Others would
But love love
Myself self anyway
Oh
I love love
Myself self anyway

Of everything and everyone else
I’ve been meanest to myself
If God loves me just the way I am
Why shouldn’t I
Of everything and everyone else
I’ve been meanest to myself
If God loves me just the way I am
Why shouldn’t I

I mean
I’ve learned it the hard way
I love love
Myself self anyway
Despite what others say
Don’t act
And talk walk
Look like
Others would
But love love
Myself self anyway
Oh
Just love love
Yourself self anyway

WIDE AWAKE

Rise and shine 
Time to wide awake

(Verse 1)
wake up my love Am
it's time to open up your eyes,
enough is enough
can almost see the sun rising
out to save you from your own demise

(Verse2)
You've been asleep for way
too long another day is here to 
come there's still so much
that really needs to be done
The clock is ticking 
it's running out of time

(Prehorus)
Feel my light
Call on your heart and soul
i won't be denied
anymore

(chorus)
Rise and shine (I'm wide awake)
Rise and shine (I'm wide awake)
Rise and shine (I'm wide awake)
and it feels like im not dreaming

Verse 3
Leave behind
Your darkest desires to be satisfied
And watch the world get made
When the sun puts the night away
To take its place 

(Bridge)
feel the drum 
(this beat of mine beat of mine)
Heartbeat of mine
A new melody
To bring you home tonight

And it feels like I'm not dreaming anymore

Rise and shine (I'm wide awake)
Rise and shine (I'm wide awake)
Rise and shine (I'm wide awake)
and it feels like I'm not dreaming anymore

Rise and shine, I'm wide awake

STAY

(verse 1)
Why does it always seem
like you speak a language I don't understand 
To just find myself here screaming 
How it's getting out of hand 

Why does it always feel like 
you pay with dollars I don't use that currency (no no)
Don't know its value 'till I figure out 
what the exchange rate will be

(Pre chorus) 
Tell me what your love looks like
Cause it's not what i am feeling
Show me what your love looks like
Is it something I should deal with
Tell me what your love looks like
Cause it's not what i am feeling
Show me what your love looks like
Like

(Chorus1)
Tell me to tell me to to stay'ay (mm)
Tell me you'll stay 2x
Tell me to fight 
Stay by my side 
That one day it will be allright
And Tell me to
tell me to tell me to to stay
Tell me you'll stay

(Verse2)
I never thought someone would love me 
like you claim to do 
My heart learnt to be cautious that's 
why i keep running away from you

It scares me just a little to see
How much of you I really need mm
keep telling me you love me no matter what and - that you'll never leave (and)

(Pre chorus)
(chorus1)

(chorus2)
No i wont leave leave leave
I'll never go
When you're right here here here
I'm right at home








THIS TIME

(verse)
It's like I woke up from a dream
For a moment it felt like you were
 Really here with me
 I can feel my heart break
 Everytime I'm forced to face reality

(prechorus)
 Even if it's in my sleep
 It's just another second
 That I get to keep you in my arms

(chorus)
 Let me hold you close
 Just for a little while
 I won't let you go this time
 This time

(verse)
 There's not a day that goes by
 Without me trying to imagine
 What you would be like by now
 I'm running out of tears to cry
 And little by little
 It feels like I'm dying inside
 
(chorus)
Let me hold you close
 Just for a little while
 I won't let you go this time
 This time
 This time

(prechorus)
 Even if it's in my sleep
 It's just another second
 That I get to keep you

(chorus)
 Let me hold you close
 Just for a little while
 I won't let you go this time
 This time
 This time

SMOKE & MIRRORS

(verse)
Standing on that bridge
 I knew one day it'd come to this
 Fears are creeping up on me
 I've seen the evil things beneath
But your strong hand is holding me
 Keeping me safe while telling me
 Yeaheah

(prechorus)
 I've got your back
 They're not so tough
 I'm standing close I'll teach you how to fight 'em off
 I've got your back
 They're not so tough
 I'm standing close I'll teach you how to fight 'em off

(chorus)
 With a sword in your hand and a shield in the other
 Fighting off arrows always wear your armour
 They might hit you by surprise with filthy lies
 The truth carried inside
 Remember oh so rigorours
 They use smoke and mirrors
 
(verse)
Not a pretty sight to say the least
 My entire life I've been avoiding this hideous beast
 But your soft voice is guiding me
 Encouraging and telling me
 Yeaheah

(prechorus)
 I've got your back
 They're not so tough
 I'm standing close I'll teach you how to fight 'em off
 I've got your back
 They're not so tough
 I'm standing close I'll teach you how to fight 'em off

(chorus)
 With a sword in your hand and a shield in the other
 Fighting off arrows always wear your armour
 They might hit you by surprise with filthy lies
 The truth carried inside
 Remember oh so rigorours
 They use smoke and mirrors

(talking)
 I hear what you say, I do but
 I can not do this that's way too impossible for me
 I mean look at me
 I'm not strong enough I'm not good enough or even bold enough
 I'm too weak
 I'm too weak

(bridge)
 It might look like they got you surrounded
 Surrounded ohohoh
 Don't forget I got 'em all bounded
 All bounded yeaheyyeah

(chorus)
 With a sword in your hand and a shield in the other
 Fighting off arrows always wear your armour
 They might hit you by surprise with filthy lies
 The truth carried inside
 Remember oh so rigorours
 With a sword in your hand and a shield in the other
 Fighting off arrows always wear your armour
 They might hit you by surprise with filthy lies
 The truth carried inside
 Remember oh so rigorours
 They use smoke and mirrors

FLAMES

Verse
The fire is burning beneath my feet
The heat makes it impossible for me to breathe
Somehow it won’t set me ablaze
I will rise, i will rise out of these flames

Prechorus
I know storms are coming for me,
With a force that knows no mercy

Chorus
So what; the thunder shows its power
let the lightning strike how it wants
The king will come
He’ll make its charade undone
Undone..

Verse
While it tries to destroy (burn) everything
everything He gave his whole life for (hmm-m)
I’m being lifted from the ground
Leaving me all safe and sound.
I’m safe and sound

Chorus
So what; the thunder shows its power
let the lightning strike how it wants
The king will come
He’ll make its charade undone

Bridge
I’ll remain in the light that brought me this far
So bright makes all darkness go numb
I know one day He will come
(The King will come)

Outtro
I know storms are coming for me
Oh how I long for the king to come
To make its charade undone..

Find Me

Verse
You will go through length of days 
You will always find your way to find me    
to find me

Bending laws of gravity 
As you’re offering me eternity, you will find me
You’ll always find me

Prechorus
I can hear you calling out, calling out my name
I can hear you calling, you’re calling out my name.

Chorus 
Come find, come and find, come and find me 
Oh oh oh
Find, come and find, come and find me.
Oh oh oh
I try, I try, I try to believe
oh
Come find, come find, come find me.

Verse
There is not a place to far
there is not a place to dark for you to find me.
Even if my heart is hardened by
the walls I’ve built up to high
I’ll always hear you calling out my name.

Prechorus
I can hear you calling out, calling out my name
I can hear you calling, calling out my name.

Chorus
Come find, come and find, come and find me 
Oh oh oh
Find, come and find, come and find me.
Oh oh oh
I try, I try, I try to believe
oh oh oh
Come find, come find, come find me.


come find me oh
come find me

Jij Zegt

Ik vecht voortdurend tegen al de stemmen in mijn hoofd die mij
Alsmaar zeggen dat ik niet genoeg ben
Provocerend 'wie ben jij'

Ben ik niet meer waard dan al wat ik wel of niet heb bereikt
Herinner mij opnieuw wie ik ben 
en hoe Jij echt naar mij kijkt.

Ohoh

Jij zegt ik ben meer
Dan de maatstaf die ik leg
Jij zegt ik ben sterker 
Dan de leugens die ik denk
Met elke imperfectie en elke ruige kant
Houd jij van mij om wie ik ben
En niet om wat ik kan.

Het enige wat nu nog telt is wat jij vindt en denkt van mij
In Jou vind ik mijn waarde
In jou vind ik identiteit

(Chorus) 

En ik geloof, ja ik geloof 
wat jij tegen mij zegt, ik geloof

(Bridge)
Ik leg het bij jou neer, alles waar ik ooit mee geworsteld heb
Gebrokenheid in mij is iets dat door jou kan worden gered.

(Chorus1)

(Ending)
Jij zegt er te zijn 
In mijn pijn, onzekerheid
mij stevig vast te houden
dat jouw liefde nooit verdwijnt
Ik schiet vaak tekort
Toch bleef Je al die tijd
Wanneer ik me niets waard voel
Zeg Jij "je hoort bij Mij"..
