Rescue Me 05:32
Rescue Me Echoes of the past getting louder, louder Reminds me of the man I used to be Hands against my ears squeezing tighter, tighter The screaming never silent inside me I can see the flames are climbing higher, higher I’m hiding under blankets like a child Waiting for the cooling of the embers, embers And my life is finally reconciled Can anyone hear me Does anyone know where I am Can you even see me Anyone there give a damn Why this indifference Can you rescue me Feeling that my voice is getting weaker, weaker Tired from the constant cries out loud Accepting I’m no longer a believer, no sir You won’t see me following the crowd I can see the end is getting nearer, nearer Speeding like a bullet from a gun Searching for a way to see it clearer, clearer Regretting the conclusion has begun Words by Chris OWEN

Another World The sky has changed a million times Clouds have come and gone My phone is saying a million friends I can only think of one x2 The Road has seen a million cars Maybe millions more I thought I knew my own direction I only think of home x2 Take me to another world Where you and I are not disturbed Nobody knows where we are The world has lost a million souls Millions more will fall I tried to save them one by one I couldn’t free them all x2 Winters here And yet our leaves are green Laying in the verdant forest We cannot be seen x2 Take me to another world Where you and I cannot be heard My every breath is tangled in you x2 My life has seen a million heartaches A million teardrops too Now the thick dense fog has lifted I only think of you x2 The sky has changed a million times Clouds have come and gone Heading in the same direction We can journey on x2

Staying Home Today I’m staying home today By the phone today Waiting for you I’m not going away today Or going astray today I’m thinking of you You went and did exactly, just wat you said Went to find a life in someone else’s king-size bed Wiping all our history on the mat beside the door I’m barely coping, And just hoping You were joking And you’re coming home for more I’m staying home today By the phone today Waiting for you I’m not going away today Or going astray today I’m thinking of you Instrumental Every night I see the space where you once laid I know I should move on and put my memories in the shade You said you wanted us to stay as just good friends Could this happen Without the passion My face is ashen And I haven’t slept for days I’m staying home today By the phone today Waiting for you I’m not going away today Or going astray today I’m thinking of you I’m staying home today By the phone today Waiting for you I’m not going away today Or going astray today I’m thinking of you

Pretending ©2020 Lyrics and Music by: Chris Owen Verse 1 Did you ever wonder why Did you ever even try Would you go the extra mile To find the answer Verse 2 Can you see what I can see Can you feel what’s haunting me Will you finally set me free From this cancer Chorus I’m trying to catch a fallen star Hoping to heal the deepest scar Finally knowing where you are Grasping to hold the atmosphere Wiping away an angel’s tear Living a life that’s free from fear Free from fear Verse 3 Can you point me towards a sign Not just spin a line Can you tell me it’s all fine And stop this hurting Chorus I’m trying to write the sweetest song Saying it’s right when I know it’s wrong Living a life when I’m not that strong Trying to squeeze the hardest stone Wanting to know what can’t be known Pretending that I’m not alone Verse 1 repeat Did you ever wonder why Did you really even try Would you go the extra mile To find the answer Chorus I’m trying to catch a falling star Hoping to heal the deepest scar Finally knowing where you are Grasping to hold the atmosphere Wiping away an angel’s tear Living a life that is free from fear Trying to write the sweetest song Saying it’s right when I know it’s wrong Standing my ground when I don’t belong Trying to squeeze the hardest stone Wanting to know what can’t be known Pretending that I’m not alone Not alone

Path To Glory His torn and tattered suitcase Was packed for his crusade His reasons for not leaving Were beginning now to fade He had to go, just had to go Chorus Do you believe in karma Can you see your destiny Overcoming every drama And trusting chemistry, what’s meant to be Verse 2 She felt so lost and lonely Despite the children’s cries The only thing she wished for Was an end to all the lies She had to go, just had to go Chorus Verse 3 The train pulled out the station The same time every day He just stood there watching Deciding should he stay The car sat in the driveway For any circumstance She saw it through the window But couldn’t take her chance Chorus Verse 4 He marched up to the house As if it was the Path to Glory He told her that their life Was gonna tell a different story She told him that her heart Was ready now for mending She kissed him like she’d never done before This was their happy ending

Leave Me Alone I feel like I have to share my mind Tomorrow who knows what you will find Listen to me You are constantly banging on my door Ignoring the rich but not the poor Leave me alone Why do you kick me all the time Trying to take what once was mine Leave me alone My whole life is just 10 feet away Nothing more that I need I don’t want to read the signs that they parade Leave me here in my dream In my dream Think less of the means and more the ends Stop sharing it all with your posh friends Leave me alone I just have enough to pay my dues There is nothing more that I can lose Leave me alone I am content with what I own I’m staying here in my timezone Leave me alone My guiding light is getting dimmer every day I don’t see much anyway I couldn’t care less what the world has to say All I need is right here Is right here How far are you willing now to go Whilst all of my ducks are in a row Leave me alone I know the man that is down will fear no fall You can’t take away from nothing at all Leave me alone

You Can't See The Scars Have you ever needed to scream Seeing the horizon and run Endlessly swimming upstream Searching for a sight of the sun Have you ever wanted to feel Leaving all the lies at the door Searching for the devil to deal Offering the spoils of war You can’t see the scars Hidden deep beneath the surface Memories from a life imperfect Reaching for the stars Aiming for the highest heaven Only wanting to be forgiven You can’t see the scars Hiding I’ve been wounded, bruised and beaten by the past Trying to be fearless, tearless, thinking of the crash You can’t see the scars Hidden deep beneath the surface Memories from a life imperfect Reaching for the stars Aiming for the highest heaven Only wanting to be forgiven You can’t see the scars Have you ever needed to scream The volume only turned up to one Nothing now appears as it seems No-one ever told you I’m done You can’t see the scars Hidden deep beneath the surface Memories from a life imperfect Reaching for the stars Aiming for the highest heaven Only wanting to be forgiven You can’t see the scars Hidden deep beneath the surface Memories from a life imperfect Reaching for the stars Aiming for the highest heaven Only wanting to be forgiven You can’t see the scars You can’t see the scars You can’t see the scars

Today I Love You ©2020 Lyrics and Music by: Chris Owen Verse 1 Don’t worry, and put yourself through this pain Every life needs a little rain There is nothing more to gain Don’t be afraid, everyone feels the same Don’t play their losing game Or hang your head in shame Chorus Live in the moment; Today I love you I feel your torment; Together we’ll pull through Live in the moment; It’s me you can turn to The gift is the present Today I love you Today I love you Verse 2 Don’t worry, just let the flowers grow Don’t dwell on what you know Relax, enjoy the show Don’t be afraid, I’m here to hold you close When you feel you’re on the ropes We can still share all our hopes Chorus Live in the moment; Today I love you I feel your torment; Together we’ll pull through Live in the moment; It’s me you can turn to The gift is the present Today I love you Today I love you Verse 3 Don’t worry, savour each second now Nothing matters anyhow Let’s use what time allows Don’t be afraid, and put yourself through all this pain Every life needs a little rain There’s nothing more to gain Today I love you Chorus Live in the moment; Today I love you I feel your torment; Together we’ll pull through Live in the moment; It’s me you can turn to The gift is the present Today I love you x3
