1. Get The Best Of Me Chorus The little devil on my shoulder whispering And that’s when I give in And when I’m thinkin’ that my streak is on the win I’m back where I began, began, began, began and again And that is why You will always, you will always, You will always get the best You will always, you will always, you will always get the best of me Verse 1 Here’s the thing, the temptations & demons from the past From a phase of livin’ loud & livin’ fast And I know I should kill voices in my head But, my rubber arms get twisted like a dred And just when I think I’m out into the clear You pull me back in Cos you will always, you will always You will always get the best You will always, you will always, You will always get the best of me Chorus Verse 2 Now see, the recklessness behaviour I possess Are actions carried out by a man possessed And for every action there’s a consequence Believe me that these acts are all past tense And just when I think I have myself convinced You suck me back in Cos you will always, you will always You will always get the best You will always, you will always, You will always get the best of me Chorus Bridge You keep attacking my weakness And keep getting the best of me But now I’m shaking my weakness One day you’ll be second best to me Chorus

Verse 1 (Kid Mac) Coin tossed in the well And she made a wish Just gave her dreams a goodbye kiss As she waits and she hopes But never had a GO Cash, cash, money, money Hear the voices echo wishin’ Crash test dummy dummy Lacking heart and wisdom missing Get your penny back Get a spine on your back Disappear, kick your fear Come now and have a crack Chorus (Mat. McHugh) Any wish we make Any way we go Any broken day Is a lonely road Any way we fall down Well I’m on my knees Then I hear you call now I hear you calling me Verse 2: (Kid Mac) Coin flicked in the well He dwells upon a wish Fate called and rang his bell His door was shut, a chance was missed From life, he hides 'Down on my luck' he cried Binge drinking, throat killing Never had a GO Click clack bang bang Playing life like roulette White and black, he'll never change Cigarette's and life regrets Fear he never faced it Sour loss he tasted Lost in the world Another penny wasted Chorus Bridge (Kid Mac) The F the E the A the R Will keep you where you are Your penny will always be Just silent screams Swimming in a wishing well Of empty dreams Your wishful thinkin’ now To luck it will not bow Confidence will slowly grow Here we, here we, here we GO! Chorus Outro (Kid Mac) X 4 The F the E the A the R Will keep you where you are (Mat. McHugh) X4 I hear you calling me

Dream Weaver 03:34
Verse 1 Crawling on land I’ll help you run on water Life spent on a plan No need to start over Realise it’s not so tragic And if you believe in magic Than this will be forever Lay your head down on the pillow Count the stars outside the window I’ll help you now more than ever Chorus I can change your life right now I can change your life right now I’ll be your dream weaver Dream weaver I’ll be your dream weaver Dream weaver Verse 2 See it in your eyes I sense the hesitation Illuminate the skies Exceed your expectation I can take away today’s pain We can live tomorrow today And leave behind your nightmare Close your eyes and keep on wishin’ Soon enough we’re sky-high livin’ Just look around and I’ll be there Chorus Bridge I’ll be your dream, be your dream be your dream weaver I’ll make you see, make you see be a believer And all your fears we’ll dance them all away Chorus

Verse 1 The independence, confidence They just don’t make em’ like they did before Morality, irrelevant They speak what they see but don’t think no more Mimic the box, so glamorous Reality is channeless My actions scream loud down the hall But they don’t hear me at all Chorus (Hey ay, ay, ay) They don’t hear me at all (Hey ay, ay, ay) They don’t hear me at all At all, at all, at all, at all They don’t hear me at all (ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh) They don’t hear me at all Verse 2 The silver spoon, high demands They need a lesson from the school of hard knocks The principals, dirty hands They need assistance to pull up their own socks The leaders are to generous The followers oblivious My actions scream loud down the hall But they don’t hear me at all
5.
Verse 1 (Kid Mac) Every time the sun melts down And the purple sky comes out (Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh) See no evil, speak no sound Still the shadows can be found (Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh) And I try to fight the feeling The feeling’s got me fighting all night long So good it can’t be wrong I try to hide the emptiness inside The essence of this pill’s got me living a dam lie I’m trapped in my old ways in a cage with no key What can I say it’s the animal in me Chorus (Whoa oh oh oh) With every step I take I see the truth And its all in you (Whoa oh oh oh) With every triumph comes a new break through Much better than you knew Verse 2 Every time I look around All I see is smiles turned down (Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh) In my head a thumping sound Something’s gotta give right now (Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh) And I try to fight the feeling The feeling’s got me fighting all night long So good it can’t be wrong My mind is at the ceiling No way I’ll find a healing in this zone So good it can’t be wrong Chorus (Whoa oh oh oh) With every step I take I see the truth And its all in you (Whoa oh oh oh) With every triumph comes a new break through Much better than you knew (Whoa oh oh oh) I feel my body standing strong again And I feel no pain (Whoa oh oh oh) There’ll be sunshine where there was only rain And I feel no pain Outro Don’t Look back (Don’t ever look back) x8

Lunatic 03:16
Chorus Uh oh, here we go Another psycho Every time I get a chick She’s a lunatic Verse 1 Tick, tick, tick, toc Time goes by on the new love clock At first was the honeymoon phase Experimental sexual craze She had that crazy “fuck me” eye And now it’s a crazy “kill you” vibe Her mood’s like a rollercoaster Up, down, round & round I get nervous when she frowns Cos she’s thinkin’ bout’ burning my house down She said “If I catch you cheating I promise I won’t get pissed off I’ll just wait until you’re sleeping And cut your penis off” She said “Don’t ever leave me And if you do, I’ll find you!” Chorus Verse 2 Tick, tick, tick, boom! She’s a time bomb exploding soon Stalking my Facebook invading my space All female friends she’s erased Transformed from a Princess Leia To a crazy terminator I tried to say “Hasta la vista” But she wouldn’t get the picture I said “I’m through with you” She said “I love you too!” Some dudes are under the thumb But me, I’m under black voodoo I sense the jealousy She won’t stop stalking me 99 problems, 1 chick 99 missed calls, 1 lunatic Chorus Bridge Maybe I drove her mad Maybe I’m in the wrong And turned a good girl bad And I was crazy all along I was trippin’ plain & simple She’s a cool chick Then she pulls out a pistol (bang) She’s a lunatic Chorus x 2
7.
Verse 1 Lost in outer space, feeling out of place And came down in a UFO man Contemplate escape, with no magic cape So I don’t know where to go now No one around (no one around) I’m all alone (I’m all alone) I’m not sure where I feel at home And see, that should phase & frustrate me But deep down I know I’m not lost Is anybody out here Is anybody out here Is anybody out here Is anybody out here with me Chorus Nobody will ever understand In the middle is where I am Faster I run, quicker the sand In the middle is no man’s land Verse 2 Do I hide or chase, to or from this place Trying to steer but got no control man Confusing love for hate, and hating lovers fate A battlefield inside my own soul now No one around (no one around) I’m all alone (I’m all alone) Is this danger or a comfort zone And see, that should lose & confuse me But deep down I know I’m not lost Is anybody out here Is anybody out here Is anybody out here Is anybody out here with me Chorus Verse 3 No familiar face, hangin’ on my ace Found a place with some room to grow man I could follow them, or be an alien And play the lead in a one-man show and No one around (no one around) I’m all alone (I’m all alone) Just how I like it, I’m on my own And see, lost in space where I should be So deep down I know I’m not lost Chorus

Freedom 02:59
Verse 1 Horizon sun risin’ Waves shaking hands with sand White beaches, boardshorts This is livin’ man Let the sun sizzle our backs As we paddle out the back Surrounded by good company The sea sets us free Escape from the rat race This is my space No need to login What we’ve got is mellow mind states Forever dancin’ on the waves Acrobatic board display Offshore breeze, warm degrees The perfect day Chorus We’re gonna ride this out Til the sun comes down For the freedom, freedom Ride this out Til the sun comes down For the freedom, freedom Verse 2 The tide is comin’ in That’s when the session ends Crew all chill up Barbie Hill This is livin’ man Braggin’ about that left you got That no one saw or just forgot Sound of the sea is the soundtrack theme Livin’ the dream Wasting time, corona & lime Sunsets behind The backdrop of the perfect picture Mother nature kissed ya Forever we will live this way Embrace the ocean spray We are blessed, picturesque The perfect day Chorus Bridge We will ride And forever be free We just wanna live free We will ride And forever be free We just wanna live free Chorus x 2
9.
No More 03:46
Verse 1 Wide awake and numb Re-occurring fears of failure Beating my own drum Following isn’t in my nature Everything that I’ve become I’ve succumb to inner pressure Losing my grip on pleasure High up, far from the ground I’ve been up then crashed back down Somehow, In my own mess I drown It’s killing my health & I’ve devoted my whole life But I keep asking myself Chorus What’s all this for When I keep pushing and fighting And barely surviving I can’t push no more What’s all this for When I keep pushing and fighting And barely surviving I can’t push no more Verse 2 Wanting something more Forever chasing something special Sickness with no cure Running low on inspiration Everything that’s still to come Will succumb to determination I can’t run from my obsessions High up, far from the ground I’ve been up then crashed back down Somehow, In my own mess I drown It’s killing my health & I’ve devoted my whole life But I keep asking myself Chorus

Times We Had 03:05
Chorus The memories come and go these days (yeah) But how I wish that they would stay We watch them fade away Do memories fade away? The times we had The times we had Verse 1 The laughs, the memories, the dreams we held The bumps, the bruises, the failure to excel Bright lights flashing attracted to the fast life 10 years passing now wishing for the past life Take a picture make it last All the times we had we will never forget Dam straight it was a blast All the times we had no we never will regret Chorus Verse 2 The pain, the secrets, the tears we cried The aging pictures will never lie Side by side and experienced the phases Memories don’t lie, living through the madness Take a picture make it last All the times we had we will never forget Dam straight it was a blast All the times we had no we never will regret Chorus Bridge (Whoa, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh) I can feel the whispers from you Coming back to life (Whoa, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh) I can feel the whispers from you Coming back to life Chorus
11.
Verse 1 (Kid Mac) Knockin’ everybody dead Ms John Wayne Sculling from the silver pillow Hittin’ Mary Jane-o Twenty five semi-automatic drive Evil-eyeing girls Looking out this world So dangerous and feisty-like Can kill a man with her crazy eyes No backing down, unload a round Squeeze with my finger, pull the trigger Chorus She goes off like a gun She goes bang bang bang bang Verse 2 (Mickey Avalon) I got my finger on the trigger Now my pants are getting bigger With the fully automatic Get her wetter than a river In the middle of the night Strobe light flashin’ Man I knew she was the one When I was sprung before I smashed it So we passed third base and when I passed her the pipe She said “I didn’t really take you for the passionate type” We was dirty dancin’ with her hand on my mic I never had the chance so I didn’t put up a fight We got right to the edge and she was ready to cum Bang bang bang bang, she went off like a gun Chorus Bridge See early in the night So friggin hard to tell She tried to act all shy “I’m not that kinda girl” Few vodkas later on “I want you Mickey Avalon” Loads it up, cocks it back “Pull my trigger Kid Mac” Chorus
12.
Verse 1 There was times I was lost, dark, had fear Couldn’t see through the rain, in the end it would clear Shit hit the fan, I was more than one man Who was there to lend a hand, together we’d stand Always have my back, my guardian soldier Team pulled together, united we’d conquer Blessed is he who in the name of charity Carry me, when I’m weak straight through the valley of Darkness, pitch blackness, the heartless Regardless, fear couldn’t part us Thick & thin, there by my side At times we’d collide but in the end we ride Thick & thin, there by my side At times we’d collide but in the end we ride We ride, ride, ride, ride Are you my brother’s keeper? Chorus Keep on holding strong United we stand, divided we fall Together we belong I am my brother’s keeper Keep on holding strong United we stand, divided we fall Together we belong I am My Brother’s keeper (ey ey oh) I am My Brother’s keeper (ey ey oh) I am My Brother’s keeper Verse 2 My brother may walk wrong paths But right or wrong he’s one of us We guide him to the light We fight for what is right My brother my b-best friend Til the end we d-defend Never seen a bond so concrete I will strike down upon thee With great vengeance and furious anger Those who attempt to destroy my brother Thick & thin, there by my side At times we’d collide but in the end we ride Thick & thin, there by my side At times we’d collide but in the end we ride We ride, ride, ride, ride Are you my brother’s keeper? Chorus Bridge As I walk through the valley of darkness I shall fear no man For I am truly my brother’s keeper Yes I am (yes I am, yes I am) Chorus
13.
Verse 1 I kick start the weekend with a campaign Guarantee on Monday there’ll be back pains A few days of madness is expected Accept this, things are going to get hectic If you’re in, then you’re in for the long haul In the morning we’ll be taking a roll call Anything goes up in here it’s all cool All you gotta do is follow the rules Nobody Sleep, Nobody Get Hurt (x4) Chorus Verse 2 Now the place is rockin’ in full swing Everyone’s as high as Xao Ming I walk in and see everybody Eating biscuits but this ain’t no tea party Even goodie goodies have a little bit of cheek We all got demons and inner freaks Anything goes up in here it’s all cool All you gotta do is follow the rules Nobody Sleep, Nobody Get Hurt (x4) Bridge We go all night, we go all day We don’t pull up at halfway When the full moon is on display The freaks come out and play We go all night, we go all day We don’t pull up at halfway When the full moon is on display The freaks come out and play Chorus

Other Side 03:54
Verse 1 Living a life Only barely alive (Yeah, whoa oh) Addiction you hide But really living a lie (Yeah, whoa oh) And so you keep denying Slowly dying Swallowing your pride But still I keep on holding Strongly hoping You’ll find the other side Chorus Follow me and let me guide We’re going to the other side Follow me and let me guide We’re going to the other side Verse 2 Living your life Fighting demons inside (Yeah, whoa oh) But in your mind Happy memories rewind (Yeah, whoa oh) You need to keep on fighting High life riding Take it stride by stride And now you’re slowly moulding Know we’re going To the other side Chorus Verse 3 When thoughts are blurred distorted And life’s slippin’ away You want the other side But demons make you stay (You had it all when you worked so hard for it) (You can use the same effort to get yourself outer here) I know you suffer like hell God knows I feel your pain Those around you hurt as well Believing in your change And I know you can do this The road back to repair And if you need some guidance Take my hand I’ll lead you there Chorus (x2)
