Freedom EP
-Freedom
-Take Control
Every Little Memory-
Pa was my pretender Dad
Because I didn’t have one
He’d tuck me into bed each night
We’d say my prayers together
Nan sang Mr. Sandman
When I couldn’t sleep
She couldn’t sing in tune
But it was soothing to me
~CHORUS
So many memories
Of a time when life was good
So many memories
Of that neighborhood
So many memories
That will never die
So many memories
Where not a single piece now lies
Pa would let me steer
The car round Berger Rd
At that age I thought that I
Could drive all on my own
Nan was always working
She sold Tupperware
She always bought me KFC
I didn’t have to share
~ Chorus
Pa fixed bikes & scooters
We’d ride them up the dam
Say hi to our Nanny goat
And also to the lamb
Sing dance cocky dance
To the cockatoo
Eat beans right off the vine
When our hunger grew
~ Chorus
Tag *(Every little memory)
*(Where not a single piece now lies)
-No-one Does it Better (than You & Me)
-Welcome To The Neighbourhood

'Rough Road' Album
✧590 Days
No wonder I’m going round the twist
How can anybody live like this
Come over & spend a day with me
You’ll be surprised at what you’ll see, after
Chorus
590 days
590 days
590 days
590 days
Of pain
I try to move on with my life
Cause a recluse life well it sure aint nice
I just wanna be back strong & tall
Oh, but who really cares at all, that I’ve had
Chorus
Don’t know who I am any more
I'm not the person that I was before
Oh, the pain I have endured
Oh but it still goes on ignored, after
Chorus
✧Breathe In
The shells not cracked & it’s not broken
But there’s emptiness within
No emotion just silence
Breathe in, Breathe in
Feels like I’m standing on the outside
Looking at things I cant see
Just a blank stare then nothing
Breathe in, Breathe in Deep
Chorus
Emotion deludes me still I weep
Lethargy entwines me so I sleep
Anger exploding deep inside
From myself, I cannot hide
Feeling uncomfy in my clothes
Can they see through my disguise
Fake laughter means nothing
Breathe in, Breathe in
Pain it resonates throughout me
Trying so hard to stay sain
Hold your breath it’s almost O-ver
Breathe in, Breathe in
Chorus
So Breathe in
So Breathe in
So Breathe in
✧Rough Road
Steady as she goes, cause were almost home
From this Rough Rough Road
Well we, we didn't see this one coming
You know it took us out from left field
And sent us On & On & On & On & On and On
This Rough Rough Road
Saw things we never thought we'd see
That alone wasn't easy
Still we held On & On & On & On & On and On
This Rough Rough Road
Rough Rough Road, Rough Rough Road
Well we've all been there and done that
And wondered how in the hell we'd get through it
Still we held On & On & On & On & On and On
This Rough Rough Road, This Rough Rough Road
Rough Rough Road
Holding On & On & On & On & On and On
Striving On & On & On & On & On and On
Surviving On & On & On & On & On and On
This Rough Rough Road
Rough Rough Road, Rough Rough Road
Well steady as she goes, cause were almost home.
✧Rabbit in a Cage
Procreation done
3 daughters & 2 sons
Many generations will come
Civil engineer
intelligence quite clear
until the end is near
Old age, your just a rabbit in a cage
Just a rabbit in a cage
She took wings & flew away
round about 4 years ago today
No cage
Old age your just a rabbit in a cage
Just a rabbit in a cage
Rabbit in a cage not like the Airforce days
Not like the Airforce Days
Rabbit in a cage it's such a pretty pretty cage
A pretty pretty cage for old aged
Pretty pretty cage
No-one can be saved
No-one can be saved from old age
Procreation done
3 daughters & 2 sons
Many generations will come
✧Forever By My Side
I'm miles away from you & I miss you
I see your smile I want to kiss you
I can almost fast your lips
what i'd give for a moment like this
I close my eyes your scent surrounds me
I feel your body wrapped around me
I feel your touch my body aches
One thought of you is all it takes
Chorus
You just take my breath away
I just hold you close & hope & pray
You'll be forever by my side
With the love & strength that I rely on
Your tender touch in the small dark hours
My heart is open it devourers
Hold you closer to my skin
Can't believe the pleasure your love brings
Chorus x2
✧Risks
Way too many risks are being taken
Way too many lives are being risked
I sit & watch with nervous frustration
Waiting for the sound of something hit
I know that sounds a little weird & creepy
I know that sounds a little kinda strange
But my friend I have been a road statistic
I tell you now that somethings gotta change
Chorus
Cause You'll see U turns on a crest
P plates proving their the best
Texting & talking on the phone
In such a hurry every day
Well attentions not quite paid
Now somebody's loved one isn't coming home
So please watch out next time you are out there driving
Pay attention to the risks that people take
Your life is in the hands of an utter stranger
In a killing machine that no-one does respect
So Chorus
✧Some Days are Diamonds
✧Muse
My Muse is gone, I'm all alone
My heart is slowly aching
A symbol of
A love so strong never open for the taking
Chorus
And if you think I'll ever give him up
Think again, just think again
A childhood dream
My prince charming
Romances every season
A love affair
So true so rare it defies the age of reason
Chorus
Chorus
He's the only one in my whole world
I know I can depend
Spellbound by his stature
And it's a Happy Ever After
I'm just honoured to be his lover & his friend
Chorus x2
✧My Kinda Heaven
V1. Never knew what heaven was
Only know how I want it to be
Just like the last scene
Of the Titanic movie
Chorus
Back to that perfect place
Back where I felt free
Back to that perfect place
my sanctury
Never really liked the thought
Of white robes & up above
Angels singing in a choir
Not knowing those I love, oh take me
Chorus
Bridge
I'll be as free as a bird with a safe little soul
Floating around & never grow old
reliving happy memories
Yeah thats the kinda heaven for me
Wouldn't care if I died tomorrow
If I knew that I would be
Running laughing being happy
With all of my family
Chorus
Bridge
V1.
Chorus x2
✧Lift My Spirits
We'll they say that everything happens for a reason
The answer to our trials & tribulations
The essence that makes us who we are
The strength that helps us to make it this far
The heartache that we all endure
Just to make our future pure
Lord it brings us to our knees
Help me help me help me please
Lift my spirits set me free
I just wanna be happy
Lift my spirits let me soar
don't wanna cry no more
Pick up & do my day to day
learn my lessons come what may
keep walking that bumpy road ahead
Cryin inside but i smile instead
Chorus
Feels like the end is closing in now
Find some strength from within somehow
Try to move on with my life
forget the anguish pain & strife
Chorus
✧ Free As a Bird
Remember when I was 3 or 4 sitting on Pa's lap in the big ole Ford
Steering my way round Berger Rd
Feeling just as free as a bird
Remember when I had just turned 18 bought my 1st car she was a Dutsan
Steering my way where i wanted to go
And Feeling just as free as a bird
Remember all the freedom that I had
Remember all the good times that we shared
Remember the day my love was ripped away
My freedom was gone & I didn't have a say
Now I'm surrounded by walls with pink tinges can't work retail i'm still injured
Steeringwheel's spinning the wrong way
My wings are clipped I'm living in a cage
Time to grab ahold of that wheel I know one day I will heal
Steering my way round lives steep bends
Well this little bird'll be free again
Remember when I was 3 or 4 sitting on Pa's lap in the big ole Ford
Steering my way where I wanted to go
AndFeeling just as free as a bird
Feeling just as free as a bird
Yeah I'll be feeling just as free as a bird
