Lyrics

Bored Games

I’ve never been within the in-crowd
I didn’t care, then I cared
But I don’t care now
I ask myself all of the big questions
And it soon gets pretty hardcore upsettin'

I have to play these bored games
Tomorrow’s yesterday
Can’t breakaway, more of the same
I’m longing for a change
And all good things to those who wait
That’s something I love and hate
I have to play these bored games
There ain’t no escape from these bored games
There ain’t no escape from these bored games
There ain’t no escape from these bored games

My heart’s been stolen and my joy’s been replaced
With all these doubts I stare straight in the face
And I roll the dice wishing for the best
It’s sad but true that I’m addicted to the madness

I chose to stay, I choose to stay
Won’t let the night take me away
Now I am strong, now I am brave
Already broken, so now I can’t break

I have to play these bored games
Tomorrow’s yesterday
Can’t breakaway, more of the same
I’m longing for a change
And all good things to those who wait
That’s something I love and hate
I have to play these bored games
There ain’t no escape from these bored games
There ain't no escape from these bored games
There ain’t no escape from these bored games

Everlasting

Living, living in denial

I’m the judge of my own trial

O the time is ticking, ticking on my sun-dial

One a.m., it’s getting late

Can’t accept the twisted fate

O we bend before we, before we break

Every second into a day

We’re here for a minute then whisked off away

They say I’m young but so was everyone

Why must it all leave too soon

Here I am panicking in my room

Why is there the world to lose

Should I call it a foe or a friend

Why must all come to an end

Why must time have to catch me

Wish this life could be everlasting

Hold my hand so I’m not scared

Better safe than unprepared

Don’t say how the story ends

I’m all too well aware

I try my best to be unafraid

God help me feel you before it’s too late

See the sand at the bottom of the hourglass

I can’t stand to see the present become the past

See the sand, see the sand

Faraway Far

Locked here in this room, can’t let my demons loose
I fell hard way too soon
Some say it’s out of your control what happens to you
Wait for the storm to pass, I feel my feelings clash
My hopes like waves crash
Easier said than done to leave the past in the past

I turn the lights off
I turn the thoughts on in a world faraway far
Running and racing, my mind keeps chasing this beating but broken heart
I will win this battle, win this fight
But a piece of me got lost tonight
I turn the lights off
I turn the thoughts on in a world faraway far

When the dusk draws near, when all I have is fear
When my eyes only see tears
I hear a still small voice saying God is still here
Paradise has a cost, that’s probably why I’m lost
I keep my fingers crossed 'cause bullets still hurt even though they are small

I’m not gonna lie, my bones are breaking
I’m not gonna lie this time
I’m not gonna lie that I do some self-hating
'Cause I can’t get my hopes too high

I will win this battle, win this fight
But a piece of me got lost tonight, a piece of me got lost tonight
I turn the lights off
I turn the thoughts on in a world faraway far
I turn the lights off
I turn the thoughts on in a world faraway far
Running and racing, my mind keeps chasing this beating but broken heart
I will win this battle, win this fight
But a piece of me got lost tonight
I turn the lights off
I turn the thoughts on in a world faraway far

I will win this battle, win this fight
But a piece of me got lost tonight
A piece of me got lost tonight

Beating Drum

Written By: Mavenne & Matt Bronleewe, Copyright 2016
Produced by Matt Bronleewe. Mixed & mastered by Sean Moffitt.

V.1: I hear the rup-a-bup-bum
of the beating drum (oh)
I’ll fight on the battlefield
’til the war is won, war is won
I hear the hum-a-hum-hum
Of the voice above (oh)
I’ll fight on the battlefield
’Til the war is won, war is won

Pre-chorus: Above the clouds, there’s hidden sunshine
Beyond the mountains you’ll find it

Chorus: Oh, we’ll fly over valleys on eagles’ wings
And we’ll find new horizons
Oh, when we see the rising sun, the war is won
And we’ll hear the beating drum

V.2: I wish my life was blue
Like a summer sky (oh)
I’m too afraid to show
That it’s grey on the inside
All alone I’m stranded on a misted island (oh)
Is there someone out there who will find me?

(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)

The Bad Guy

Written By: Mavenne & Matt Bronleewe, Copyright 2016
Produced By Matt Bronleewe. Mixed & Mastered by Sean Moffit

V. 1: I can’t look in your eyes
while you’re sitting next to me
my face hides ’neath my hands
so afraid, can barely breathe
swallowing fear down hard
trying to calm my breaking heart

Chorus: Like I’m the bad guy; I’m the bad guy
while you’re gazing in to her bright eyes
I’m the lonely one, I’m the lonely one
while she gets the love of millions
The kindled flame we used to share,
How could I say it’s no longer there?
Like I’m the bad guy, I’m the bad guy
while you’re gazing into her bright eyes
Final chorus: Like I’m the bad guy, like I’m the bad guy
All I ever do is wonder why…

V.2: It wasn’t just a chance
that we were meant to be.
overheard someone say
that you’re just too shy to talk to me
Different yet the same
’cause our fears locked us away

(chorus)

Bridge: Memories fade away in the vapor
as I slowly become just a stranger
It goes on and on and on and on
What did I do wrong?

(chorus)
