Sharper Than A Knife
Written by John von Ahlen
Verse 1
It was only a matter of time
Before I had to say goodbye
Johnny 7 knows I'm right
We talk about it all the time
Pre Chorus
I told you lies, I even compromised
I tell you
I'll never feel that way again
Chorus
Why did you try to change me I thought you'd realise?
It took me so long, but now that you're gone I'm fine!
You hurt me so bad, I don't know if you can understand
That your love cut me sharper than a knife
Verse 2
Now I hope you understand
Biggest person in the land
That is something you are not
My self respect is all I've got
Repeat Pre Chorus
Repeat Chorus

Aeronaut
Written by John von Ahlen
Verse 1
I'm singing :
"Believe me, I'm not lost.
Of course not!"
Pre Chorus 1
Will you take care?
Will you be there?
Hold me gently?
Be my guide?
Chorus
Let it be, you will see,
Things appear so much better in the light now
If you shine a light now
Can you shine a little light?
Verse 2
Forgiven for your loss
I travel the world, I must cross
Pre Chorus 2
Maybe somehow
I can grow now
Won't be long now
Live my life

Beautiful World
Written by John von Ahlen
Verse 1
Sadness and mystery
Are part of our destiny
Pre Chorus
Round and round the same old story
Broken hearts aren't always lonely
You and I will be together
Standing side by side
Chorus
Hold me now just don't let go
We don't what the future holds
It's such a beautiful world
That we are leaving
(oh no, oh no)
It's okay, just take my hand
We walk into a promised land
It's such a beautiful world
Just look around you
(oh no, oh no)
Verse 2
Regrets, enough for two
And pleasure, so much to do
Repeat Pre Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Middle 8
How many times can you leave a broken world behind?
So maybe it's wrong
But sometimes you've got to be cruel or be kind

Do You Feel What I Feel
Written by John von Ahlen
Verse 1
Fear, there's always some regret
Now, what you see is what you get
Pre Chorus
I turn around and push the feeling down
There's always something more to regret
Shame, a game you cannot win
Chorus
Do you feel what I feel?
You could make a move sometime
What I feel is surreal
Come on make a move sometime
Verse 2
Why is there a fear of the unknown?
Life is too short to be alone
Repeat Pre Chorus
Final Chorus
Do you feel what I feel?
You could make a move sometime
(I'm feeling something reeling)
What I feel is surreal
Come on make a move sometime
(I'm feeling something real)

Eye In The Sky
Written by Alan Parsons / Eric Woolfson
Verse 1
Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore, Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Verse 2
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more, believe me
The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
Chorus
I am the eye in the sky, looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more, to know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Verse 3
Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry, I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

Footsteps
Written by John von Ahlen
Verse 1
I thought I heard your footsteps
Walking in your room tonight
I waited for a long time
I waited for you
I see a school girl running
She's running away
I guess she heard the bad news
It ruined her day
Pre Chorus 1
Why don't I feel alive (I feel like)
So many times I tried (to get it right)
I need to feel the light (in my life)
And then I realise
Chorus
It's the way I feel, makes it so unreal
And the things I do, I do them just for you
Like the air we breathe, gives my soul relief
And the hand of God, touched me once beyond
Verse 2
You were my one and only
I lived for you
And now I know that something, has died
I'll feel it for a long time inside
They found you wrapped in plastic
All safe and sound
I know that you were lonely
I should have been around
Pre Chorus 2
Something has died tonight (in my life)
I need to find the light (it's so bright)
I need to find a place (to put it right)
And then I realise
Repeat Chorus
Middle 8
Don't be alone, we are here
Find your way home, reappear

I Am Human
Written by John von Ahlen
Verse 1
There are moments in your life
When you change
Take a moment to decide, re-arrange
Do you suffer with the pain
Look around you
Don't you live your life in shame
Because you're not to blame
Pre Chorus
Don't you know, that you are strong
In the silence you will carry on
You're not a number and you're not a slave
They can't remove the love they never gave
Chorus
Touch me, hold me, feel me, be me
Touch me, hold me, feel me, be me
I am human and I need you
To understand that things that you do
Maybe we can start the healing
And understand the way I'm feeling
Verse 2
First you tell a little lie, and it's easy
Then the time it passes by
You are not free
If you listen to the world
It can hurt you
Have you lived my life in shame
Because you're not the same?
Repeat Pre Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus

Wildlife
Written by John von Ahlen
Chorus
Fall in love with the night
Don't let the sun burn your eyes
We are young and alive
We are wildlife
Verse 1
We all feel the same, but still we hide
To the front we push the fear aside
Falling faster into light
I won't let you go
Oh no no
Remember
Forever
Together we fall apart
Right from the start
Repeat Chorus
Verse 2
See the life in our eyes
Forever young and despised
But we don't compromise
Forever young and alive
Fall in love again
Feel the passion and the pain
Give your heart to a friend
Could be worth it in the end
Repeat Chorus

Time
Written by John von Ahlen
Verse 1
Follow the light
You won't find anyone
You won't find anything
Only the secrets that you feared
See how the light
It blinds you every time
And leaves the darkest sky
brighter than anything you feared
Chorus
Time to say goodbye (Knowing that we only have a moment)
Time to say goodbye (Maybe in the end we all are blessed)
Time to say goodbye (Feel the universe starting over)
Time to say goodbye (Waiting for the end, of all we know)
Verse 2
Beyond the light,
We feel the helplessness
We fear the emptiness
Knowing oblivion is near
But at the end,
We believe everything
Will redeem all our sins
But do we know anything?
Repeat Chorus
Coda
There's no one here, there's no one left
So beautiful, the emptiness
There's no more fear, there's no regret
So beautiful, the emptiness
