Second Act - Album Lyrics

Back to Second Act Album

Believe

Distraction you don’t need, on they go
Forever they will bleed you  
Ripping from your back, overload
The tortured path they lead you

Deliver come what may
You need to have your say
Give and you’ll receive
Stand and don’t you fall
You rise above it all
Set free you will believe

From strength to strength we go, down that road
Nothing will stop us now
Foundation hard as stone, blow by blow
Stand tall and shout aloud

United

The years go rolling by unrelenting
But you are always at my side
Your face I see in mine
Forever with you
United intertwined

Side by side
Never ending
Cannot lie

You give me strength when I have none
Hand in hand the battle won
Reach the summit yes we will
Shadows ending
United now until

Take It Away

Looking back what did you see
Was it the open end
Talk to them so silently
On you it all depends
I’d like to see you on the outer
That smile upon your face
Directionless the road you’ve taken
Gone without a trace

No time at the end
Regret what could have been
When you’re looking back  
On you it all depends
You’re thrown in the deep end
You will sink or you will swim 

You all look the same
It is such a shame
You’ll never have your say

You can’t even see
What life is meant to be
And they take it all away   

Looking from your box
This is all you’ve got
No time to take it back  
Your pockets are always full
But where did that get you
Sacrifice your health

Release

How long has it been
Since you have been away    
Not as long as it might seem   
Here you come once again    
Once again

I thought that we were thru
You’d leave me standing
I cleave myself in two

I cannot continue      
My life suits only you     
My cage is locked there’s no escape  
If only for your sake     
For your sake

I thought that we were thru
You’d leave me standing
I cleave myself in two   
Some things best left unsaid
The ice is broken
I’m hanging by a thread   

Leave me alone
(see me walking)
Come off your throne
(we bow before you)
Give me some peace
(my world is shattered)
I need release…..

 

On Your Feet

What would you do 
You’ve got something to say
Stand on your feet 
Or hide right away
Don’t you shoot through
Make sure that you stay
If you can’t do that 
Then get outta my way

Come meet me there
See you round somewhere

Would you come back
If i called out your name
Do the right thing
You’ll still be the same
There’s a right and there’s wrong
Which path will you choose
It just goes to show 
You’re nobody’s fool

Come meet me there 
See you ‘round somewhere

See you searchin’ for your soul
I guess that’s rock and roll
Sooner or later you’ll find your way
That is the price we pay

Left Wanting

You’re a one way street
The door won’t swing both ways
How many times can i repeat
I’d like to have my say

Step out the way
You’ve brought it on yourself
This is not ok
You’ve left it wanting
I offer you my hand
And you won’t take it
Determined there you stand
I feel it coming

Maybe one day you’ll learn
To listen to your mate
The river runs real deep
So many years still can’t relate

Never fear there’s always hope
That one day you’ll break through
I’ll try and keep the faith
In all that’s good in you

 

That's Life

Too many times I see the same old thing
Isn’t there something I can bring
To the game play the yellow card
In your face is it really that hard

Living in your shadow
Watchin all the days go by

It don’t matter which way you turn
Sooner or later you’re going to get burnt
By those around you & those that you hold dear
Take it or leave it there’s nothing left to fear

Living in your shadow
Watchin all the days go by
I wonder where its all gone
Can i share with someone

That’s life

Crashing Down

Have you got another anecdote
Your wisdom makes you high
Can I suggest that you remove your head
From where the sun don’t shine

When you fall
You’ll come crashing down
No one to take your call
When you’re around

This goes here and that goes there
Please why don’t you regale
Allow me to turn your book around
And read from your own tale

 

Never Knew

Eyes - watch you turn away
Lies - always you betray
Side - I will be no more
Hide - behind a 2x4

Oh I
Oh my
Oh I
Never knew

Now - I see you go
Strike - blow by blow
Heal - I cannot say
Twice - I see you walk away

I said I never knew

I - thought you’d get to me
You - will have to wait and see
They - will try and find their way
Now - it happens every day

One x One

Loud and clear, state your case
Pull the vale down my face
One by one you show your hand
Up your sleave, the master plan

Gotta move on outta here
Leave us alone

Watch the crash, think you’re safe
Take the cheque and you pace
Try and hide, they will find you
Run your race, you are through
