A Thousand Lies
Mark Sholtez / A.Wasiliev

I told you everything was fine under the party lights
You talked about your perfect life, I smiled to be polite
I must have said a thousand times
It's good to see you here tonight

We must have told a thousand lies
To keep our feelings safe inside
But as we danced around the truth
It felt so good to be with you

While you pretended to forget I pretended not to care
Why would we talk about it now, we never talked about it then
I must have said a thousand times
It's good to see you here tonight

We must have told a thousand lies
To keep our feelings safe inside
But as we danced around the truth
It felt so good to be with you
Even if for only just a while

Hard to say how long it's been
But this sure was a nice surprise
Maybe it's just wishful thinking
Maybe I read too much between the lines

We must have told a thousand lies
To keep our feelings safe inside
But as we danced around the truth
It felt so good to be with you
We must have told a thousand lies
To keep our feelings safe inside
But as we danced around the truth
It felt so good to be with you

All Four Seasons
Mark Sholtez

Running through the fallen leaves
Running through the autumn leaves
Till winter catches up with me

She gets a little cold sometimes
Wants to run away and hide
Pushing everyone aside
But she's gonna be alright

She's all four seasons
She'll change the rules
She'll change the mood
And for no good reason
She's all four seasons

She's definitely delicate
Be careful just how close you get
But trust me now; she's worth the time
She's beautiful when she shines

She's all four seasons
She'll change the rules
She'll change the mood
And for no good reason
She's all four seasons

Everywhere I go, I should carry an umbrella just in case
But I do like to catch the summer rain when it's falling out of place
And I wouldn't want it; I wouldn't want it any other way

She's all four seasons
She'll change the rules
She'll change the mood
And for no good reason
She's all four seasons

She's a warm summer day when the world should be freezing
But you'll never know unless you let the breeze in
She wont be defined by the weather that she's in
She's all four seasons
She's all four seasons
She's all four seasons
She's all four seasons

Running through the fallen leaves
Running through the autumn leaves
Till winter catches up with me

This Perfect Day
Mark Sholtez

I don't want to fall asleep
I don't want this night to end
I want to lay and watch the moonlight
The way it settles softly on your skin

I want to take my time
Breathe when you breathe
I want to memorize your face
While every inch of you looks so at peace

I don't want to say goodnight
Don't want to let my eyes fall shut
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I don't ever want to wake up

Everything is balancing
I don't want anything to change
I don't want to think about
How I would feel it this all went away

I don't want to say goodnight
Don't want to let my eyes fall shut
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I don't ever want to wake up

I don't want to say goodnight
Don't want to let my eyes fall shut
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I don't ever want to wake up

I just want to stay
I just want to stay like this
I just want to take
Ever other day like this

This perfect day, this perfect day, this perfect day
This perfect day, this perfect day, this perfect day
Don't let it fade, this perfect day, this perfect day

Too Late For Heroes
Mark Sholtez

I feel the weight of the world like it's bearing down
And I hardly sleep 'cause there's so much to worry about
With everyone looking for something to pin their hopes on
Who's gonna know when to give me the signal to run

And where do I run to
And what should I run from
When everything, everything's crazy

Who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me
When it's too late for heroes
And the world has gone crazy
Who's gonna save me
When it's too late for heroes

If someone was going to rise up and lead us all out
They should have already come to the rescue by now

But what will it come to
With nowhere to run to
Just how dark can a day be

And who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me
When it's too late for heroes
And the world has gone crazy
Who's gonna save me
When it's too late for heroes

Everyone's running in circles with nowhere to go
And there's no one to call 'cause the heroes have already flown
The trouble is up to my neck and I'm already on my toes
When it's too late
When it's too late
When it's too late

Who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me
When it's too late for heroes
And the world has gone crazy
Who's gonna save me
When it's too late for heroes

We Could Get Lost
Mark Sholtez / Iain Archer

Let's not take another cab
There's a welcome world outside
Let me walk with you we'll take our time
Make a left or make a right

Let the crowd just push on past
We don't have to go that fast
We can disregard every sign
Don't care what we leave behind

We could get lost in this city
We could forget how to make our way home
We could fall hard in this city
We could get lost
We could get lost

They might wonder where we are
We might lose sight of the sun
When it gets a little dark out there
Just don't let go of my hand

We could get lost in this city
We could forget how to make our way home
We could fall hard in this city
We could get lost
We could get lost

Lost, lost when the light disappears from your face
Lost, lost like we're falling all over this place

We could get lost in this city
We could forget how to make our way home
We could fall hard in this city
We could get lost
We could get lost
We could get lost

No Kind of Love
Mark Sholtez / Larry Klein

I could go down to the water
And wash away the dust
Try to be different
Try to be what you want
But like these broken flowers
Dying in the sun
That's no kind of love

I could lead you to the madness
To see if it takes
Sharpen up your edges
Just to keep you safe
Spending the moonlight hours
Always on the run
That's no kind of love
That's no kind of love

So what if we don't fit
Will it leave a scar
If we keep our distance
Till it all comes apart
Do we scatter the broken pieces
With the pigeons and the crumbs
That's no kind of love
That's no kind of love
That's no kind of love

Little Things
Mark Sholtez / Larry Klein / Larry Goldings

Weathered hands
Weathered soul
Stories that
Were never told
Little things
He never can
Take back

No polite
Wish for luck
He says
It's because
You can never tell
Which way luck
Will fall

No signs
No miracles
Just old debts
Old scars
Little things
He never can
Take back
Little things
You never can
Take back

The Mystery of You
Mark Sholtez

When I'm dead and I'm gone
I hope that I'm going to heaven
Not to be walking around with Jesus
I can take that or leave it
But I've got one thing
I need him to shine his light on

From the beginning of time
I mean the first time I saw you
I was mumbling, fumbling, falling
Baby my heart went all in
No explanation
In no sight of rhythm or rhyme

As if life can't be trouble enough without this puzzle of love

I'm looking for reasons
I'm searching for footprints
Looking for answers and evidence
Asking all the questions
Searching for clues
Looking for answers to the mystery of you

From the first word you said
Well the first thing I heard was laughing
The minute you turned to me smiling
Baby that's when I dived in
Infatuated
Spinning in the curl of your dark hair

Oh baby I don't know how I'm gonna figure you out

I'm looking for reasons
I'm dusting for fingerprints
Looking for fragments of evidence
Asking all the questions
Searching for clues
Looking for answers to the mystery of you

Oh, answers to the mystery
Hey, look at what you've done to me baby

I'm looking for reasons
I'm searching for footprints
Looking for answers and evidence
Asking all the questions
Searching for clues
Looking for answers to the mystery of you

I'm looking for reasons
I'm dusting for fingerprints
Looking for whispers of evidence
Asking all the questions
Searching for clues
Looking for answers to the mystery of you
Answers to the mystery

Kissed it all Away
Mark Sholtez / Shane Nicholson

Everything's dark and still
Everything's dark and still in here
Who's going to be first to fall
There's so much to be sorry for

I miss the sunshine
I kissed it all away
I miss the mornings
The ones that last all day
I miss the smile upon your face
I kissed it all away

Everything gets so cold
Everything gets so cold in here
I could have done so much more
There's so much to be sorry for

I miss the sunshine
I kissed it all away
I miss the mornings
The ones that last all day
I miss the smile upon your face
I kissed it all away

Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah

I miss the sunshine
I kissed it all away
I miss the mornings
The ones that last all day
I miss the smile upon your face
The familiar way you taste
I wish I had the words to make you stay
I kissed it all away

Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah
I kissed it all away
Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah
I kissed it all away

Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah

She'll Change Your Mind
Mark Sholtez

There's a few things you can guess
Just by the colour and the cut of her dress
But there's stillness in her eyes
To hide the things that she won't want you to expect

From what seems innocent enough
Why wouldn't you let down your guard

She'll change your mind
She'll change your mind
She'll change the way you want your good times
She'll change your mind
She'll change your mind
She wears her devil on the inside

When you're in deeper than you thought
It ever possible for you to fall
Will you bend before you break
Will you be game to take a little more

The only truth you'll ever see
Is in the shadow that she leaves

She'll change your mind
She'll change your mind
She'll change the way you want your good times
She'll change your mind
She'll change your mind
She wears her devil on the inside

She'll disregard you with a casual lie
Before she leaves you with a casual goodbye
She'll change every thing in time

She'll change your mind
She'll change your mind
She'll cross wherever there's a line
She'll change your mind
She' not the girl you hoped to find
She'll change your mind
She'll change your mind
She wears her devil on the inside
She wears her devil on the inside
She wears her devil on the inside

This is Where it Starts
Mark Sholtez / Matt Hales

Such a pretty name
But she'll swear it's wasted on her
She's got such pretty eyes
But every time she smiles you can see it hurts
She won't believe in love
Says she's had enough
Of broken homes and broken hearts

Just keep walking, just keep walking, just keep walking
'Cause this is where it starts

He's over six feet tall
But you'd swear he's so much smaller than that
He wears his hair too long
So even he don't know where he's going to or coming from
Cause when you fall so hard
When you feel so much
You've got to close down your open heart

Just keep walking, just keep walking, just keep walking
'Cause this is where it starts

This is where it starts, though they never meet
No solitary moment on the corner of the street
They don't stop, they don't stay
Don't even notice

I know she won't say
Where she lost her faith, but I knows it's gone
I wonder if he dreams
About all the things, I know that he wanted
She's still ready for a fight
He's still buttoned up too tight
But one day they will find themselves
Standing in the light

Keep walking, just keep walking, just keep walking
Just keep walking, just keep walking, just keep walking
Just keep walking, just keep walking, just keep walking
'Cause this is where it starts
'Cause this is where it starts
'Cause this is where it starts
'Cause this is where it starts

Far Enough Away
Mark Sholtez

Some times I wish I could turn down the sound
Some days for me, the city gets too loud

I need to find clarity
I need to find just one dream
It's gonna take more than a good night sleep

To carry me far enough away
To carry me far enough away
To carry me far enough away
To carry me far enough away

You've got to admit it burns a little bright here
Where do I fit, 'cause it doesn't feel right here

I need a means to escape
I should go and stand out in the rain
Try to hitch a ride on a hurricane

To carry me far enough away
To carry me far enough away
To carry me far enough away
To carry me far enough away

I could dive into the river deep
And just let the water take me
Feel the cold rush set me free
As the river runs to carry me

Far enough away
To carry me far enough away
To carry me far enough away
To carry me far enough away

If I Didn't Love You
Mark Sholtez

I would get up, I would go out
I wouldn't have to feel so empty now
If I didn't love you

The distance wouldn't get to me
I wouldn't lose another second sleep
If I didn't love you

If I didn't love you
I'd be happy enough
Cause I wouldn't know I could
Miss anybody this much

I wouldn't question why I left
I wouldn't mind the empty double bed
In this unfamiliar room
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you

The Distance Between Two Truths is OUT NOW

Out Now
