Picture this, I was eleven you were twelve I felt something that I'd never felt. 'Cause you caught my eye, like I knew you would It felt like destiny, even though I knew you'd do me no good. Back in our worlds, I planned for all the life you'd bring I turned you in to a beautiful thing. From that day on, I felt another part of me Locked away and I saw you throw the key. Picture this. Inches become miles, I will still try to sprint them in your name. You never had the time, I would always try to meet you with acclaim. I thought about us, and all the things that you had not. I guess form the start, I was born to be the boy in the background. As it turned out, I was not the only one Turned paeganistic and I thought you were the sun. But your light, was strong enough To keep me blind for best part of four years Now I'm confused, and I don't know what to think When the going gets rough the tough, they start to sink And I'm not that strong, have a sense of right and wrong. Please be careful when you string me along. Should I, I should. Should I have jumped? Inches become miles, I will still try to sprint them in your name. You never had the time, I would always try to meet you with acclaim. I thought about us, and all the things that you had not. I guess form the start, I was born to be the boy in the background.

Lost a Limb 03:08
This is my curtain call Before I lose it all It's not a brilliant start But it's from the heart Feels like we've lost a limb As we sing our hymn We hope this won't last long We're running out of song They're in my heart, they're in my head I'll never get rid of my ghosts In my head Whoever said I wanted to There's nothing to be scared about You know they're alive if they're in your heart Time to set your soul alight Where to stand in the dark and light Thou shalt not be beat]for in the afterlife we'll meet Don't know what I've become But I feel so numb
