(Music & Lyrics by T. Thunder & V. Valley)
Girl, before you go
There is something that you ought to know
Words are so hard to find
But there's something that should ease your mind
The Truth lies, deep inside, these eyes, look long and slow, and you'll know it now
Take your time
Read these eyes
And you'll find, that you're sure
It's forever
The Truth lies, deep within , let me in, long and slow, and you'll know it now
Take your time
Read these eyes
And you'll find, that you're sure
It's forever
In these eyes, deep inside
It's forever

(Music & Lyrics by Athos Kyriakides)
Redemption shines a light
But I stand in the dark
The wind is howling and the storm has torn the heavens apart
Thunder spills the rain
Like tears against your window
You're in my sights as lightning strikes and all I have is the hope...
That you might look outside
And see me standing here
That you could love someone with all of your fear
But all I've known
Is the shadow of your love
And the night never ends
I'm the outlaw in your fairytale
And good guys always win in the end
I'll never feel again
I've never felt before
The light you shine will cure or kill me but less is never more
Love was an icey tomb
Till you set the pyre alight
I'm lost inside the fog of foolish thoughts that burn in the night
I dream you feel the same
I dream that I am free
I dream you see the good that once was in me
But all I've known
Is the shadow of your love
And the night never ends
I'm the outlaw in your fairytale
And good guys always win in the end
Doomed never to forget
I'm haunted by your every word
You've become my everything, for all my sins, it's more than I deserve
To be so powerless
Everything's at stake and in my heart
I know I'm a slave
I never will escape
The shadow of your love
For all that I can't change
A fate that's stormy and cold
A world of ogre tones and melodies that can't be resolved
But if you look outside
And see me standing here
If you could love someone with all of your fear
But all I've known
Is the shadow of your love
And the night never ends
On the outskirts of your fairy tale
I'll always be outside looking in

Shoot 'Till You Miss
06:34

|
(Music & Lyrics by Athos Kyriakides)
On the edge of every night I would roam
I was a lost dog howling at the moon 'till the heavens finally threw me a bone
I've seen the light when I thought the night would never fade
I've watched you from the shadows now it's time I stepped out of the shade
I felt your gaze and it sealed my fate
The planets have alligned and behind these eyes there's a storm about to rage
I'll roll the dice, pay whatever price it takes
There's no relief, your fire burns so deep
But I still wanna feel the heat
Whatever's left is yours to keep
I won't go too far unless it's all the way
I would eat your poison
Just to have the taste and you know
I don't get it are you really gonna let all this enthusiasm go to waste?
You shot me to life when I neared the end
So aim for the heart and let me feel it again
I live for the hit only you can inflict
So keep it comin', come on and shoot 'till you miss
Keep it comin', and maybe afterall you'll think
That I'm the one you've been missing
I know my lonely nights have begun
And I'm not the first or even the only one
To fall for you and fall right under the gun
But I feel nothing unless I'm feeling this
So keep it comin', come on and shoot till you miss
It's another hard night - twisted inside these sheets
Tossing and turning with the terrors of this tormented sleep
And with a breathless scream
I rise from another shamefull dream
And I'd die if only I could know
How you feel inside
If I could slip inside your mind
I'd take my chance
I'd take my time
On the edge of every night I would roam
I was a lost dog howling at the moon 'till the heavens finally threw me a bone
I've seen the light when you set the pits of night ablaze
Don't go too far unless it's all the way
Cause I've crossed the line not a day too late
We've got precious time and not a single reason to wait
So come get it you'll regret it if you let all this infatuation go to waste
And I think you know
You're in my sights and I'm outa control
I bet you kiss like thunder when you're on a roll
It's a losing game and you know every trick
But keep it coming, let me take another hit
Keep it coming, maybe after all you'll think
That I'm the one

(Music & Lyrics by Athos Kyriakides)
It's getting late
And I've been here too long
I might regret - the moment I let - you talk me into one more song
I know it's wrong
But it's never felt so right
I've been making this drink last while you've been making up my mind
I'm in deep, lost in the cross fire and there's no words I can find
How could I forgive myself if I let this moment pass by
And It feels Like, I've sold my soul to buy this time
Then you ask me, will you stay the night..
Don't ask for words, just help me cross the line
Look at me just right and let my eyes do the talking
Let my eyes do the talking
Read between the lines and let my eyes do the talking

Lights Out

|
(Music & Lyrics by Athos Kyriakides)
Come a little closer now
Into the darkened room where I
Have lost so many lonely nights
Waiting with the lights out
Come a little closer now
Into the dark where there's no fear
You'll read my eyes and know these tears
Hidden with the lights out
I know where you've been and where you go
It's complicated, its over rated
To know everything there is to know
Come a little closer now
Into the dark so I can't trace
The heavy lines that shape your face
When you're torn and lying to me
And you should know there's no need
To clear your conscience and come clean
Or curse me with confessions
The Truth won't set me free
I can see what's right infront of me
But if I won't, If I refuse
There is only one thing I can do
I will love you with the lights out
With every secret hidden in the dark
I'll tell myself that you're still mine
And I'll turn my eyes until I'm blind
I will love you with the lights out
Don't confess and I will never ask
The truth will be a shadow
Lost with the lights out
Lost and never to be found
I Can't forget all I know
And you've left me so cold
It cuts a little deeper every time
And It's so close to the bone
But I'll hold on
I know we'll rise again
When the storm has passed
I'll have you to myself but until then..
I will love you with the lights out
With every secret covered in the dark
The truth will whisper in the wind
When we fill the night with words unsaid
I will love you with the lights out
Just as long as you come home to me
You'll find me waiting for you, lost with the lights out
So come on, come a little closer now

The Beginning Of Things
04:00

|
(Music & Lyrics by Athos Kyriakides)
I've never been so far away from hope
Clinging to the shadows - I live on the dark side of the eclipse
I glimpse the sun
Redemption shines a light that I know would just burn my skin
So I lie in waiting
For the night to come..
Darkness falls and it's like
I'm waking for the first time
I'm hungry and I'm alive
And everything I want is mine
And all the gods in the sky
Wish they could be as divine
Forever's come and gone
And I've worn this smile all along
But as my laughter subsides
And the day breaks again
I think of all that I've done
And know I'm close to the end
Over my shoulder stands my fate
I'm never sure just what he's waiting for...
If only I could forget everything that i know
Shed this skin and start again as someone you could believe in
I glimpse the sun
Redemption shines a light....
She shined a light, in the beginning of things....

Pick Me Up
05:08
|

|
(Music & Lyrics by Athos Kyriakides)
It's getting late in the day for me, I've got no prospects and fading self-esteem
My potential is a drifting dream
It's like the older I get, the better I used to be
Well everything you've heard is true I'm afraid
I've broken every rule there is to break And make no mistake - if they make any more - I'll break those too
Something has changed and I'm starting to think
I can talk myself into taking one more risk
I tried to give up hope but I can't seem to stick to anything ...
And if you pick me up
Pick me up
When I've never been so down, down, down, down
If you pick me up
Pick me up
Then I will tell you this now, now, now, now
If you pick me up
I won't let you down
I've got demons and the devil may cry
When trouble's in sight I've got wandering eyes
I'm drawing dead on excuses but try to understand
I've had every bad beat by the river of sin
I've been on tilt so long
I'm barely standing
But If you're here tonight
my luck could change
And I'm going all in
If your faith's in my hands I won't loosen my grip
I slipped before, yes I admit
I lost control, all but sold my soul
But my heart wasn't buying it
And if you pick me up
Pick me up
When I've never been so down, down, down, down if you
If you pick me up
Pick me up
Then I will tell you this now, now, now, now
If you pick me up
I won't let you down
I'll be the one you can't believe that you believe in
The comeback kid that you never saw coming
Out of the dark there was a light I thought I dreamed it
I'm calling blind but I know I know this time...
I've fallen in luck if you think that you might pick me up
