Going In
by Mark David Stallard
They hurt who they want
Just to take it all
That's where we come in
We'll even the score
Hiding in the dark
Waiting for the night to come
We're going in
Gonna make it right
Got to get the proof
Chopper from the sky
Drops me on the roof
Heading down inside
Hanging from a wire
I'm going in
I dare not make a sound
They're watching all around
Armed guards on every floor
Keeping watch on all the doors
Never been this scared before
Security's high
Hack in and disarm
Got to time it right
Don't trip the alarm
Reprogram the locks
Bring the cameras down
We're going in
Combination works
The safe opens wide
The evidence is within
Carefully reach inside
I trip the alarm
Take the swag and run
We're getting out

Flesh and Blood
(Mark David Stallard and Gavin George)
Got an iPhone in my pocket
A dozen ways to dock it
You might mock it but it's style
In a minute I could tweet you
But I doubt I'll ever meet you
More likely just delete me like a file
Why can't I tell if...
Why can't I tell if you are real?
I want you to text me
Take a pic and message me
We are spoiled for choice
We are always sidetracked
By the ways we interact
But still I rarely hear your voice
Why can't I tell if...
Why can't I tell if you are real?
I need to see you baby
I want to fall in love
I need to feel you baby
To be sure that you're flesh and blood
I'm the one that's disconnected
When the real is just rejected
And the truth is so wild
Now I lack perspective
When I am held captive
By technology addictive to a child
Why can't I tell if...
Why can't I tell if you are real

Didn't Say What I Mean
(Mark David Stallard)
It's hard to put these feelings into words
Not sure how I can express
I say exactly what I think I mean
And then I realise what I said
Didn't say what I mean
Didn't mean what I said
Didn't say what I mean
Didn't mean what I said
Oh, I love you
Yes, I do
I want to tell you how I feel
And tell you how wonderful you are
And then I say what's in my head
Instead of what is in my heart
How I feel for you
I don't want to hide
But I open up mouth
And with both feet
I jump right inside
It's hard to put these feelings into words
And tell you how wonderful you are
And then I say what's in my head
Instead of what is in my heart

Absolutely Crazy
(Mark David Stallard)
Oh, I have taken the time to find the truth
I turned over rocks and stones, nothing was right
Romance was devised by the government you fool
I have seen completely through the conspiracy of love
It's insanity
I'm positively sure I'm absolutely mad about something
I'm positively sure I absolutely crazy too
I'm positively sure I'm absolutely mad about someone
I think I might just be absolutely crazy for you
You can't lie to me, I know all there is
I've pondered everything, the meaning of life
I know the secret of the Egyptian pyramids
The riddles of the ancient times will blow your mind
It was aliens
It might sound like it's out there
Strange at first but it's true
And above all these truths I care
About you

I'm Alive
(Mark David Stallard and Ryan Janz)
I'm alive
And I owe it all to you
I'm so alive
When I'm stepping out with you
Never thought I would see the day
When I belong to you
Oh, I'm alive
I clearly remember the time
When I was alone
So alone
Now everything's turned around
I should have known
Because of you
There's no more need to move on
I am living the dream
Such a dream
Laying here in your arms
Is everything
It's really you

I Want You To Know
(Mark David Stallard)
From the first
I never doubted your place in my life
Oh, and I believed
And on that night
I vowed to never let you leave
The time has come
To tell you something I know you need to hear
So that you believe
Look in my eyes
I'll tell you as often as you need
I want you to know
There's always someone waiting for you
I want you to know
That you never have to be alone
I want you to know
That someone's always here for you
And I hope you believe
It's me
Never again
Will you have a solitary life
Oh, I believe
As long as you live
I will declare what is deep inside
From this day on
Hold my words until you have their need
Please believe
Wherever you are
Whenever you feel you're on your own

Moonlight Mist
(Mark Stallard and Gavin George)
Time will ease on as the moon persists to shine
Warming the ground causing mist to rise
Peoples attitudes change
As they chase their dreams
They can never hold on to them, like mist in the night
Moonlight mist fades and dies
ooh fades and dies
Open my eyes
I see the mist rise
Everything that I could have dreamed
has come true in you
Feelings grow as the sun burns in the sky
But as the sun makes it retreat the feelings die
And what was there in the light
Is covered by their dreams
They can never hold onto them, like mist in the night
Moonlight mist fades and dies
ooh fades and dies
On my hill looking over the valley
I can see the mist has gone it's so beautiful to me
My life has change
Since you came into my life
The misery's dissolved, like mist in the night
Moonlight mist fades and dies
ooh fades and dies

Maybe Tonight
(Mark David Stallard)
I fear for my life
A feeling I can't hide
I don't think I can really go on if I don't ask you
I lay awake at night
Dreading what might
I know I have to take a chance if I'm to be with you
I hope that I see you
So I can tell you how I feel
I hope that you see me
So you can tell me that you will
Maybe tonight
This place is cold
Could I be so bold?
Panic is welling up inside of me
No time to think
Will I swim or sink?
I still have time to act and have a chance to win
The first time I saw you
My confidence took flight
I need to be with you
And I will say those words tonight
Oh yes, tonight
Well, maybe tonight
I wait outside
You catch my eye
My heart is beating so fast I want to run away
You're alone tonight
A glimpse of light
Will I finally get to say the things I need to say?

Winter Mystery
(Mark David Stallard)
I recall
As a little child
Wishing that the days would fly
And bring me closer to the night
So I would see
And solve that mystery
But I awake
Far too late
Blankets flowing off my bed
My failed mission I'd forget
I could not prove
If he was real at all
I want to believe that it all could be true
Such a wonderful time to believe
The excitement builds up and we're full of suspense
I rather leave it as
A winter mystery
I couldn't wait
Had to celebrate
Running over to the tree
To see what Santa left for me
My father called
His voice stopped us all
We had to wait
'Till he drank his tea
Why did he do that to us?
Waiting was so torturous
Then he smiled
And we opened gifts frantically
The day's arrived
When my children cry
They plead to open all their gifts
I torture them as my father did
I am sure
They enjoy it all the more
And it will be
They will come to see
That which means so much to them
Will mean more to their smallest bairn
And magically
They become the mystery
I want to believe that it's true

I Know (Dr. Who song)
(Mark David Stallard)
I know
I know
You could be more than this
you could be wonderful
Beautiful
I know
I know
You could be more than this
you could be wonderful
Beautiful
Will you believe
That I'm taking you home?
The long way for sure but you'll get there
Take the chance
That I'm the one to trust
Now take my hand and run
Oh, Run!
You're never alone
When the enemy comes
Do not fear
Your home is defended
If they take you away
I will set you free
So take my hand and run
Oh, Run!
