Dirty Hands 03:41
“Dirty Hands” Lyrics by Ben Whiting (verse 1) There's a shovel in my yard Soil on my boot, a trail of the trouble she said led me straight to you. There is poison in my blood it's in the family tree Running through the generations from my father to me. (chorus) I've got dirty hands I don't sleep at night I've got dirty hands and no alibi (verse 2) There's a storm on its way I feel it in the air There's a weapon of destruction loaded up in my head Shooting words sharper than knives Killing truth with sharper lies.

“Fire In The Wind” Lyrics by Ben Whiting (verse 1) Down by the river we meet Flower in her hair, bare feet There i stood in my tattered shoes Everything to give, nothing to lose. (chorus) feel your fire in the wind And i hear your voice in my head Still feel your fire in the wind Gonna dream of you till im dead (Verse 2) Up by the lookout confess Truth in her eyes and on her breath There i stood so confused I can't speak and can't move. (bridge) Don't look back But i looked back I turn my head and i look back Yea i always will look back

Frangipani 04:35
“Frangipani” lyrics by Ben Whiting (verse1) Always on my mind A crayon coloured sky Memories of the night Memories of the time (verse2) Stories of then Haunting my head Memories of truth Memories of you (chorus) You call i come running You go i go darling You call i come running Darling Always (verse 3) Lover of youth Uncover my truth Keeper of my saddened heart Even miles apart (outtro) You send me back in time You bring me back to life You send me back in time You bring me back to life

“Private Island” Lyrics by Ben Whiting (verse 1) Paddle out before you choke Step aside from the city smoke If you try you might wind up bent and broke (verse 2) Free your mind from rusty chains Let the love live inside your veins If you wait a while Feel the fire burn in you for days (chorus) Come to the shore we got a fire burning Welcome abroad the private island (verse 3) Leave the castle bring yourself Leave the hassle on the dusty shelf Were waiting waiting for no one else
5.
Walls 04:26
“Walls” Lyrics by Ben Whiting (verse 1) All my bones are in the stones They build the walls around my palace A hollow heart An empty yard A wonderland without the Alice All my choices And all my plans Always broken by the hands Natural forces and wild horses Come on hard and heavy again (Pre Chorus) But it comes on like an old steam train So much faster than i can explain (chorus) Why does it rain every time i go outside oh i wanna go outside (verse 2) Here i stall from hitting walls I should have known to bring my latter when i fall down from your cloud I hope my bones don't break and shatter I hear voices and demands Everest upon my shoulder I hear noises in my head Come on in i have something to show you. (Pre Chorus 2) But it comes on like an old steam train So much faster than i can explain (chorus 2) Why does it rain every time i go outside oh i wanna go outside
