One Chance 03:58
Now this story has been told times before A reality and dream opening a door The picture in my head, she fitted perfectly Awakening my heart To love and its sweet glimpse A heavenly sound to all humanity There's one chance To take a hold With both hands Don't delay and wait for But I decided to wait, wait another day Wait another week, and then until the end The end of this degree And I could stop and face The secret moment alone But by this time it stopped The motion and the flow The feelings and the rain The words that just remained inside of me Wait for me to see Wait for you to see Wait for me to see Wait for you to see Eternity is, waiting for you to Make up your mind, mind Don't excuse me now Eternity comes Knocking on your door This is the final score. So now you've heard the sound There's a difference in my voice She may love me or not But in the end it's emptiness When there's a world to win Convince us of our sin That lies around our heads The love that you could see Look beyond the earth Come arise from sleep So you won't come to a bitter end

I'm fed up with secondary living Half heatedly watching the world go by The warning light is on And I can't wait for long Breathe in deeply before my breath has gone Take it to the next level Breaking through me I want to be a revolutionary Where I see the world around me change Come make me a revolutionary Can you hear the revolution generation rising? I won't be here to be someone in my eyes I lay aside the war wounds and pride Enter in like a razor, cut me open Remove the burden, close me up So the scar is no longer mine Take it to the next level Breaking through me Shine out through me In this dark world Break down the walls That hold me down Life will never be the same Freedom from captivity Now I've shaken apathy I believe again

about

The Optical Illusion was recorded in 2008 when I used to gig as a singer songwriter. It is raw, uncomplicated and a taster of what sort of music I was making in the early days.
