- Dead Ends
I sit back and I sit alone
And watch you change with the seasons
You find yourself above it all
You can't drown when the rivers run dry
Where can you turn
When there's nowhere to turn
The cold truth of who you really are
- Eleven Eyes
Born and raised in these hollow days.
I'm sick, I'm tired.
Empty skulls run this place.
The world isn't working anymore,
The world isn't working at all.
Born and raised in these hollow days,
- Eye For An Eye
Reap what you sow
Now its harvest season
Take back your words
I would change a moment
Clock hands
I'll turn them back
Hope of relief
Is history.
- Forget
Faded photographs keep me from sleep
I see the stories in my minds eye
Where did I go wrong?
Where did I go wrong?
The sun will rise
And the time will pass
- Gold Coast
Forever in chains
Tied down, breaking up
I long to get away
But these thoughts of home, they never leave me
The world sees my heart, when I wear it on my sleeve
Here I am surrounded by the expanse of being alone.
Here I am.
- In Transit
Come the morning I'll be married to death,
And fear will be my best man.
Come the morning I'll be dragged down the aisle,
The alter is old age, and envy is my child.
If we're born for only stories to tell,
Why do you live inside a hell?
All that's left at the end of your rope,
- Letting Go
Let go of everything
You used to hold
Dare to regret
And dare to live
When you look and see
You haven't lived a single day
It brings you lower than you know
- March 1964
Mother, Father,
Who could I have been?
Mother, Father,
What could I have done?
Let's start a revolution,
Build our own wall.
Commit the crime of a century,
- Oceans
I'll make amends for every mistake of life
If you make amends for every breath you took
Open my lungs, and finish what you started
Open my heart, and replace what you stole
Remember my name, remember my face
Remember where we've been
In the clear light of day
- Paint The Sky
Without you I am lost
Your words a calm embrace
I gave up everything for the chance
And these scars are my reward
Tell me what it takes
To be the man I want to be
Tell me the words to speak
So I can do no wrong
- Stray Rats
Stray rats, stay young, never stop.
Stray rats, stay young, never stop.
Stray rats, stay young, never stop.
Stray rats, stay young, never stop.
Wasting minds, wasting time,
Wasting youth, wasting lives.
- The Best Years
I'm tired, I'm getting old,
This dust is what becomes of my bones.
Under the cracks in our skin.
Under the bags dragging down our eyes.
We're hollow, and growing cold.
This life is what became of our souls.
Under the weight of our guilt, the hollow skulls that we hold.
- The Lost and Alone
We are, we are
The lost and alone
We are, we are
Never fucking going home
A test of will
A lesson learnt
I know there must be
- The Noble Lie
The boys, the girls, they're just playing in the playgrounds.
Not a care in the world, there's blood on our hands.
What would you do? For the disappointed youth.
What would you do? Tell them truth.
What would you say when the children ask you,
'Why do we pray is there nothing else we can do?'
Myth of a nation, illusion of relations.
- These Streets
There is nothing to keep me here
The only reason is dragging me under
Drowned by all my insecurities
I know you try to understand, understand.
As I grow apart from all that I've ever know
Retracing lines, reliving lies
Searching for something more, there must be something more
- Wake Up, Fall Asleep
I can't get any sleep,
I'm pulling out my hair.
It was grey, now it's gone,
It doesn't mean it wasn't there.
I'm scared of failure, scared of success,
Living life with a noose around my neck.
With a noose around my neck.
- Worlds apart
I've seen this road many times before
The air heavy with the silence
Once welcome now changed in perception
Back in the clear light of day
I hope that you burn inside
Flames of guilt engulf you
This is what you wanted
Now you and I are worlds apart
