Go 02:32
lyrics

When I grab my car and drive real fast, I crank my radio. The leather interior gives me an adrenaline flow. Press the gas and let it rev, the vibrations shake my bones. That Mercedes-Benz over the road fills up my soul. And I drive as fast as it goes. Down that road. Destination unknown. Gear shift up. And go, go, go. And I drive as fast as it goes. Down that road. Destination unknown. Gear shift up. And go, go, go. Go, go, go.

Please Be Mine 02:32
lyrics

Every time that I'm walking down the street, I see this pretty little thing passing by me. She tousles her hair, and bats her eyes, and flashes that smile that makes any man cry. Well I feel the blood rushing to my head, I feel the sweat beading up and my cheeks turning red. I start to head her way and think of something to say, but I got a little nervous and I almost walked away. The way she grooves... I gotta make a move. The way she smiles...it travels for miles. Every time that I'm walking down the street, I see this pretty little thing passing by me. I start to head her way and think of something to say, but I got a little nervous and I almost walked away. Hey, won't you please be mine? Just say yes. I'll take you out for a good time. The way she grooves... I gotta make a move. The way she smiles...it travels for miles. Oh, please be mine. Please be mine. Please be mine, yeah.

I keep on falling down. I'm hurt, I'm screaming out. Too much war surrounding me. Much too thick, I can't see. I keep on falling down. I can't get off the ground. My brothers by my side. Without them here I'm lost, I'm blind. The enemies around just fall away. We fight hard. We fight proud. We'll die another day. I keep on falling down. I'm hurt, I'm screaming out. Too much war surrounding me. Dust too thick, I can't see. We can't be shot down. We'll always hold our ground. We're indivisible. We are invincible. We can't be shot down. We'll always hold our ground. We're indivisible. We are invincible. My brothers by my side. Without them here I'm lost, I'm blind. We are invincible. Invincible.

Icy Sides 04:24
lyrics

I've lost control. I can't slow down. These chains have taken their toll on this broken ground. I try to regain my step. Relive what I had before. But it seems it's too late. And I'm left here wanting more. I feel like I'm drowning. Emotions well up inside my heart. My instincts are frowning. But I can't tear myself apart from these.. Icy Sides (that are) pulling me down. This searing, painless burn, brings me to my knees. Now you took my love, and you threw it away. What I thought was a dove, turned out to be a bird of prey. Now you took my heart, and you mistreated it, Squeezed the love out of it, no more drops left in it. My adoration is left on the ground. My weakness is with you. Now that, I have found. Icy Sides (that are) pulling me down. This searing, painless burn, brings me to my knees.

lyrics

I know we're not meant to hate. No matter how much we think it's true. I can't lie to myself. I can't help but love you. You always keep me on my toes, With the fire of love, and then the chill of your hate. It makes you feel disgraced. But within this sill of passion, an ever-burning light. One that can't be snuffed out, not in the darkest of times. You're always there for me. You're my very best friend. No matter how much you hurt me, You're always there in the end. And I love you through it all. Until my dying breath. Oh, I'll never let go of this never-ending breath. And when things seem like they're starting to fall apart, all we have to do is pause and hit restart. You're my partner in crime, without you I can't survive. So take my hand, and run for your life. Yeah, we can't die. We will thrive.

Storm 02:31
lyrics
buy track
Lightning flashed before my eyes. Thunder rolled and drowned my cries. Tearing winds ripped me apart. Raindrops fell and flooded my heart. And dark clouds mangled the sky. The sun is gone, no hope can thrive. The storm destroys all in it's way. But my will is strong and I will stay. The storm has passed, I'm on my way. I've left it behind, I've walked away. The sun shines, It's a beautiful day. So please stay out of my way. I stepped right over you. You're trash now to me too. The sun's made a new path, and it doesn't involve you. It doesn't involve you. Here comes the storm. The storm has passed, I'm on my way. I've left it behind, I've walked away. The sun shines, It's a beautiful day. So please stay out of my way.

Suspended Reality 05:33
lyrics

All my thoughts and feelings disappear. As if the material of my mind was clear. And carried them without a sound. But all lost love still sticks around. I see my face in my mirror. It fades away as I shy in fear. I see your face where mine is gone. A reminder of when I went wrong. But I'll still be here. I won't be hard to find. I can't turn my back, I'll lose my mind. I called out to the abyss. But the abyss won't call back. Immersed in it's clutches. I cannot fight this attack. I cannot fight this attack. I cannot fight back. I cannot fight this attack, no. I cannot fight back. All my thoughts and feelings disappear. As if the material of my mind was clear, And carried on without a sound. But all lost love still sticks around. You reach the summit to realize. You take one step, And you can't fly. You try to fight it all to your last breath. You take one step and you fall to your death. But I'll still be here. I won't be hard to find. I can't turn my back, I'll lose my mind. I called out to the abyss. But the abyss won't call back. Immersed in it's clutches. I cannot fight this attack. I cannot fight this attack. I cannot fight this attack. No, I cannot fight this attack. No. I cannot fight this attack, no. I cannot fight back.

Hey baby groove. Let me see you move. Whip your hair around. Come on baby, rock the town. I like how your hips move. Your body feel so smooth. Oh baby, the way you feel makes me feel so surreal. The music does you good. I don't know really if I should. Don't wanna blow you away. 'Cus baby I could dance all day. The bass line fills my soul. It makes me wanna rock n' roll. This dancing is like a drug. I can't quite get enough. The bass line fills my soul. Makes me wanna rock n' roll. This dancing is like a drug. I can't quite get enough. Groove is king. I gotta swing. And bust my moves. 'Cus I'm real cool
