- Censored Memories
Streams of memories shrouded in orange glow.
Some twisted in time, feels like it’s yesterday.
Black and white stories I see
Watered down and censored for me.
I can’t find truth in the mind.
I will try and let old dogs lie.
I’m doing it again,
- Evade The Pain
Rounded up the problems that I’m feeling here today.
Wrap them up and hide them out of sight and far away.
Take the ball and chain away that always keeps me down.
The sun won’t always shine just ‘cause you’re sheltered from the rain.
Everything worth anything will never be the same.
You can write a brand new chapter but you’ll never change the end.
- For What It's Worth
I see me breathing in, but there’s no life entering,
Into my soul, just a space, just a hole.
For what it’s worth, I will not love again.
Tear the sky with your eyes, repeat your name until insane.
Come back to me where I need you to be.
For what it’s worth, I will not love again.
Break my heart until it cracks, till it stops
- Get Me Home
Voice screams out from the street below,
Inconsiderate, don’t they know?
I’ve got a square inch of a shoulder blade
Touching air and I feel afraid oh yeah.
Someone take me home
Someone get me home
Something’s going on here today.
The warm and the calm so far away.
- Life Gets In The Way
Deep asleep as I awaken by a murder cry, a phone ring.
Stumble around the room to find my feet.
An anxious office man, asking why I never paid on time again.
No excuse had better things to do.
I’ve got so much more to give.
But it all comes down to this,
- Look you in the eye
I got this feeling when I look you in the eye
I got this feeling and I know that something died
And with this feeling comes the baggage that I'll try to hide
I got this feeling it ain't good in any way
I got this feeling and it will not go away
And with this feeling comes the consequence that I will try to hide
- Pressure
So crowded, over crowded.
Find me some room to move.
So twisted, so blistered.
Give me some room to unwind.
Release the valve, release the pressure.
I’ll blow my veins, It’s in my nature.
- Public Apology
You know that I did the two of us a real big favour.
You with the world at your feet, when it used to be at mine,
Now that the hurt and the pain has all blown over.
And I promise you I never wanted to see it hang on you.
I can live with the pointing fingers,
I don’t mind words and I don’t mind names,
So I thought it through and saw what was best for all.
- Save The Day
See my face, it seems to be smiling again.
Hear the sound as the laughter lines crack again.
I made it through the other side,
Instead of fire, I’m breathing life.
Bitter, twisted slowly fades away,
At least for today.
- Say Something Wonderful
So much to talk about, too little time on my own,
So much to think about, too little reason to say,
There’s so much that I feel, so much that’s there to ignore,
Acquaintance and history. Mistakes that were made and let go,
You always let me down and I always get you wrong
We’re too busy tearing ourselves apart
To so what we had all along
- Something Somewhere
Something stops me without warning
I sit myself down.
Knocks me off my feet, changes all the thoughts I think.
Something somewhere.
I know you’ll always be there.
I know you’ll stay near.
- Time
A different time,
A different place,
A different world,
You never know.
Allocate,
Immediate,
And separate,
- Visiting Time
Uncomfortable, I park the car, forcing a smile.
Distract the conversation from the reason we’re here.
Dead stalks of roses in storm fallen jars.
A wealth of new neighbours in misshapen grass.
I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to be here.
Why did we come here?
