Start Playing the game
Hand over one name
A Chinese whisper's starting
This is the beginning

Everyone's talking
Why do they want to destroy what you've achieved
A past you've tried to conceal

It started out as just a rumour, he said
That escalated from a whisper, she said
What started as a harmless rumour, he said
Just escalated from a...

Would I, should I could I should I tell him
Would I, should I could I should I tell her
Would I, should I could I should I tell them
Would I, should I could I should I Say it!

What started as a lie becomes the truth
Your character is flawed only your real friends know you
Hidden agendas, a load of jealousy
You open your heart too wide,
Vermin will crawl inside.

You confided in me
Relied on me to keep your secrets to myself
And I did, always did
So why turn on my dreams by sharing mine instead!

What I just heard, that is absurd, no way!
That isn't me, just let me have my say!
Your visions blurred and you misheard, no way!
I'm nowhere near the person you say!

Music, words, arrangement: Sal

Feel them Rob you blind
They will make you lose your mind
Don't believe their words
Because you're the one who will get hurt!

You swallow your pride and take their side
Follow their rules, pretend this time
Put up with their lies, you're not to blame
But you are the one feeling the shame.
You swallow your pride and take their side
Follow their rules, pretend this time
Put up with their lies you're not to blame
But you are the one feeling the shame.

Do what you are told
Until you find your rights are sold
Say what they tell you to say
You know you can survive if you act a certain way.

They send out their spies to be their eyes,
And we're walking on eggshells
No escape from their lies
They are all cowards hiding behind words
Now your mind has been controlled
You'd better do what you are told.

Music, words, arrangement: Sal

Stop me if I'm being too honest
Leave me if I'm treating you bad
Fight me if you want to escape this feeling of dread
Coz I'm stuck in your head.
There's two sides to every story
A face we all hide behind,
Society demands a mask, it's a façade.
A laugh is a cry, hello means Goodbye.

Break it up, Break it up, Break it up,
Leave your bullshit behind!
Break it up, Break it up, Break it up,
And free your guilt
Coz you're working round blind
Break it up, Break it up, Break it up,
Leave your bullshit behind!
Break it up, Break it up, Break it up,
And free your guilt
Coz you're walking round blind
Start freeing your mind.

Man is a master of defeat
The lie he will tell you is not true,
And who knows what is hiding beneath...
the man that you meet isn't one, but two.
One face hides a lifetime of torture
One face hides the hurt and the pain
But who knows who is gonna come next,
Or the reason he came. He will drive you insane!

So I try to hide the other side of me
The one that you have grown to love
The one you never want to see
Leave behind the one that causes all the pain
Who's going by another name
Don't you need to take away that shame.

Music, words, arrangement: Chris Heel
There are demons in my head
Pressure mounting on my brain
And all the things that I have said,
I can't take them all away.
Many roads that I have crossed
Many crosses I must bare
When it comes to judgement day
Well I don't wanna see him there.

And I know I can't be saved
and I know it must be true
There are demons in my head
and they're coming after you.

Many times I've paid the price
Misdemeanours in my youth
In the end all I can say
Is I wish I was bulletproof
And I know I can't be saved
And I know this must be true.
Well these demons in my head
Now they're coming after you.

And I will not be afraid!
And I know this must make sense
That the angels up above
They won't leap to my defense.

And I know I can't be saved
and I know it must be true
There are demons in my head
and they're coming after you.

Music, words, arrangement: Sal

Breathing Softly, arms around me
Take me to the place I wanna go
Close your eyes and believe my lies
Take from everything to have it all

You feel it, you breath it
And one day you'll believe it
You've never seen my face before
Devil may care
Say my name, play my game
And one day you'll go insane
You never seen my face before
Devil may care

It's hard to breath down on my knees,
Fight against the waves that keep me down
Chasing your ghost, loving you most
Screaming till I feel my heart explode

You try to run away I'll track you down
There's no way you can escape me.

Music, words, arrangement: Sal

If only you could feel the way I do, when I look at you.
How can I tell you I'm living in hope that you feel that way too
I scramble over my words, in hope that I will be heard.

And I would give you my life
For your love I'll strive to be perfect
And I would give you it all.
My heart and my soul
You are worth it.

Why don't you spare me the misery
Tell me, you just need a friend.
I can't take not knowing if this is real or just for pretend.
So I keep hold of my lines
Until the moment is right.

Pretend that nothing has changed
And we're still those two people who believed in fate
Forget, all the things that went wrong
We are right for each other, and were all along.

And I would give you my life
For your love I'll strive to be perfect
And I would give you it all.
My heart and my soul
You are worth it, worth it!
You are worth it.

Music, words, arrangement: Sal

He would never hurt a fly
Even if you stuck a needle in his eye
He would never do you harm
You've known him for so long
Where did it all go wrong!!

He went Crazy! An Ordinary guy
Turned into a lunatic and grabbed a gun
He went Crazy! Sprayed bullets at the crowd
Spinning round shouting I'm gonna kill you all!

He wants to be somebody
Take action against injustice, go down in history
He and society did not see eye to eye
Obsessive, compulsively
He'd read Catcher in the rye!

The cops were banging at the door
His face pushed against the wet floor
Neighbourhood watching the arrest
Those people he grew to detest.

Music, words, arrangement: Sal

(I'll write thoughts down when I wake up
I'll be honest if that helps me
I'll wave my arms, I will fall down
I'll scream out loud, if that helps me!)

When you see me cry then, you always wonder why
Coz I wear the smile I've grown to know
If I just hold on to it a little longer until I'm stronger
Then I'll come home

I'm Lonely I'm sad
I'm frustrated, can't you see that?
Am I going mad? It feels like it
Leave me alone and give me some time!
I need you to help me repair my broken mind,
And help me to find the me that I lost inside.

I'm the same old me, the one you always knew
Before thoughts in my head made my mind ache.
I cling to this place, where everything is dead
The warm silent air, just me and the ground.

So I drive and I drive and I drive so far, I drive so far
Tell me why, tell me why, did I end up here so consumed by fear?
Let me cry, let me cry, let me cry all day, let me cry all night.
Tell me why, tell me why, did I end up here so consumed by fear?

When you see me cry, then you always wonder why
Coz I wear the smile that I know.

Music, words, arrangement: Sal

I want to wake up feeling free, seeing clear
Feeling my heart beat!
The conversations that we have make me glad
I spend my days with you.

You ask me things about myself
I will tell you and no-one else
And I'll always come back for more
I'm stronger than before.

Feel my Pain
I'm screaming out!
Am I going Insane?
Feel my Pain
I'm screaming out!
Am I going Insane?

Why do I hide behind my smile?
Through my eyes you see what I conceal
Why's everything so black and white
We'll find life where colour used to be

Music, words, arrangement: Sal

I'm finding it hard to smile
I can't recall the last time that I really felt okay
I've always felt the same way.
I'm finding it hard to cry
No matter how hard I try,
There's nothing left inside
The leeches have sucked my dry.

I'm falling, I'm clawing
To keep myself above the surface,
I'm splashing round and looking helpless
I'm Empty, Invisible.

I'm finding it hard to live
Like I've nothing left to give
But don't you think I'm unkind, if I don't help you out this time.
I'm finding it hard to breath from the problems you put on me
So why don't you take the rest
And put them on someone else.

It's tearing me up inside
Always asking myself why?
I don't want to change the world
I feel like a little girl.
If you could see me behind my smile
You'd see my break down and cry.
Inside me. There's nothing.
I'm Empty, Invisible.

Music, words, arrangement: Sal

I look and I leap before I speak
That way everyone knows I'm not weak
I sign it in ink before I think
Coz I'm always thinking too much
And so ready for time to rush along

I am free to be who I want to be,
What you get is what you see
I am highly strung but highly fun.
So you should know I will keep you on your toes
With my complicated woes
In a world of Contradiction, this is me.

I dance in the street, never miss a beat
And I like to drink my whisky neat.
I don't miss a chance, I'm a romantic
I have vision in my brain and music running through my veins.

I don't believe in wasting time
Now I'm feeling better than fine,
I have a plan, a mission
Give me some more time!
I will be patient, you wait and see
My middle name is Misery.
I'll give it time...
You'll see another side of me.

Music, words, arrangement: Sal

Today's been like every other
You've tried so hard but nothing's worked
Be strong, it's not long till you come home to me
I'll help you make it feel alright
You've got my company all night
Just me and you. I'll stop you feeling blue

Yeah I'll be there when you need it most
And with me it's always unconditional
Yeah Ill be there when it means the most
You're the only friend I can rely upon!

Yeah Ill be there when you need it most
And with me it's always unconditional
Yeah Ill be there when it means the most
You're the only friend I can rely upon!

Bring back the confidence you've lost
And self esteem, no extra cost
That's what I do bring out the best in you
I know what's best you like of me
My bubbly personality
You've got a friend, who'll be there till the end

The only one who'll always be there
Your one and only friend the beer
The only friend you can rely upon.

Been Awake for so long I can’t feel my head!
Shook the numbers off my watch just to get to bed
And I see flowers growing,
I see whole worlds exploding!

Why can’t you see that I’m in Love
Why can’t you see!
I make it Obvious! So Obvious!
Why can’t you see that I’m in Love
Then just what am I thinking of.

All this eating my words is making me feel sick
Been waiting far too long to tell you what I think
I guess I’ll learn, the hard way…
Is nothing but a cliché

Why can’t you see that I’m in Love
Why can’t you see!
I make it Obvious! So Obvious!
Why can’t you see that I’m in Love
Then just what am I thinking of.

If you think that I’m Joking
Just feel my heart Exploding
If that’s not good enough
I’m better off Alone!

It’s raining and it’s cold
And the men just come and go
She does her duty
Lipstick paints a smile to hide the pain

The victim’s plain to see
Now the father’s disappeared!
It’s her sacrifice
To save her from the same mistakes she made!

And she’ll make it on her own
She’ll still be there when you’ve gone
And she won’t be beaten!
Nothing ever comes from giving up!
And she’ll make it on her own
She’ll still be there when you’ve gone
And she won’t be beaten!
Nothing ever comes from giving up!
She don’t need your sympathy
Just some paying company
She can be your girlfriend
Be the girl to live your fantasy
With time maybe she’ll heal
And the scare won’t disappear
Nothing ever comes from being sad.

And she’ll make it on her own
She’ll still be there when you’ve gone
And she won’t be beaten!
Nothing ever comes from giving up!
And she’ll make it on her own
She’ll still be there when you’ve gone
And she won’t be beaten! Nothing ever comes from giving up!

She dreams of Smiles and Laughter
And of the life she’s after
And she can see the picture
Yellow sun above them holding hands
She dreams of Smiles and Laughter
And of the life she’s after
Wish I could be just like her!

Her Sacrifice will pay
And soon will come the day
She can turn and walk away.

And she made it on her own
You won’t see her anymore
She was never beaten
Yellow sun above them holding
And she made it on her own
You won’t see her anymore
And now you see her
Walk into the sunset holding hands

I don’t want to be here
I want so much to be
Driving along the open road to nowhere
You and me
So come take me away
There’s no reason to stay
Because we know that our whole new life together starts today

I want to be Inspired
No drug could get me any higher than I am
When I’m with you
and if you ever doubt it
Then all you have to do
Is look into my eyes to see it’s true!
And it’s all I wanna do!

I don’t care where we go
Or what we’re gonna do
The main reason I chose this path
Was just to be with you
It’s our chance to be free
Think of the places we’ll see
And the adventures we’ll have together
That, I guarantee!

I want to be Inspired
No drug could get me any higher than I am
When I’m with you
and if you ever doubt it
Then all you have to do
Is look into my eyes to see it’s true!
And it’s all I wanna do!

And it’s always the same
The Places the names
And I’m trying, trying, trying to stay sane!
When all that I want
Is to be here with you
And no one’s gonna tell me what to do!

And it’s all I wanna do!

I miss you
Life’s so unkind
Why did you go and leave me behind.

I tried to talk but you would always turn away
Am I the reason you weren’t brave enough to stay!
If only you were here to tell me why
You didn’t stay to say Goodbye

You felt so cold
Just lying there
You couldn’t know how much I cared.

I tried to talk but you would always turn away
Am I the reason you weren’t brave enough to stay!
If only you were here to tell me why
You didn’t stay to say Goodbye

I always thought you would be there
I never dreamt you would leave
Now that I’m forced to be alone
I need to learn how to breath!

I tried to talk but you would always turn away
Am I the reason you weren’t brave enough to stay!
If only you were here to tell me why
You didn’t stay to say Goodbye

I paint a picture
I paint a picture of a scene
I paint a picture of a dream that I’ve had so many times
And when I show you
you’ll see what’s going through my head
you’ll see the real me, instead of the one you thought you knew
And I don’t know what to do!

Coz it all happens when I’m dreaming
That’s why I’m screaming
To let you know what’s going through my mind.
If I could tell you what I’m dreaming
and why I’m screaming
Then you would know what’s killing me inside!

I have a secret
Something I always keep inside
The only thing I have to hide from you every single day
And if I show you?
Then everything we have could die
so I’ll go on living a lie to protect you from the pain
That is driving my insane!

Coz it all happens when I’m dreaming
That’s why I’m screaming
To let you know what’s going through my mind.
If I could tell you what I’m dreaming
and why I’m screaming
Then you would know what’s killing me inside
And you’d understand the reason that I cry
And without you in my life
I’d rather die!

I’ll keep it, my secret
The thoughts I have in my dreams
a picture.
The scene I paint in my head
I’ll keep it, my secret
The thoughts I have in my dreams
a picture.
The scene I paint in my head
To protect you from the pain
That is driving me insane

Coz it all happens when I’m dreaming
That’s why I’m screaming
The Images are always in my mind
If I could tell you what I’m dreaming
and why I’m screaming
Then you would know what’s killing me inside
And you’d understand the reason that I cry
And without you in my life I’d rather die.

I paint a picture
I paint a picture of a scene
I paint a picture of a dream

I'm Crying, my heads full
I'm locked in my bedroom
I'm too scared to come outside
Scared what I might see
Scared that you'll hurt me
I'm scared but wondering why

You change
when you've been drinking
I can't stay
in the same room
as the screaming and shouting
and making like it's all my fault
ignore the violence
suffer in silence

Its better if nothing is said
I'm hiding the bruising
so no ones accusing
and make out
its all in my head

You change
when you've been drinking
I can't stay
in the same room
as the screaming and shouting
and making like it's all my fault
I can't walk away
I can't walk away
You change
when you've been drinking
I can't stay
in the same room
as the screaming and shouting
and making like it's all my fault

You're not the person I used to know
we drank anddid some blow
but now we don't no more
when things go wrong
you're not responsible
and it's so laughable
You're so impossible!

He's run away
He's run away
and our unlikely hero isn't seen for dust
He's run away
He's run away
and that's something that he just wont discuss

I saw you dancing to a different song
You got the rhythm wrong,
like you did not belong
You left o something you'd rather do
and it's fallen through
so where's that leaving you?

He's run away
He's run away
and our unlikely hero isn't seen for dust
He's run away
He's run away
and that's something that he just wont discuss

He's run away
He's run away
and our unlikely hero isn't seen for dust
