So, come on, tell me
What it means to be a man
Such a chancer
Get away with all you can
Well you can do anything you wanna do
As long as it sits right in your mind
Can you live with the consequence your whole life?
Well you got yours and I got mine
Take it back to the start
And sing along with your heart
'Caus when we get to the end
No one's gonna hear of us again.
I ask a question
You say its best if we all lie
So much frustration
Better let this fire die
Well you can do anything you wanna do
'Cause you got yours and I got mine
Can you live with the consequence your whole life?
Won't turn you up and down
Turn you round and make you wanna
Take it back to the start
And sing along with your heart
'Cause when we get to the end
No one's gonna hear of us again

Good Friend
03:19
|
|

He's always been there
Trapped inside his own device
And all his heroes
Are villains in my world tonight.
What does he see through those eyes?
What does he feel inside?
A score of zero
Is something he can get behind
And there's no equal
And there's no question in his mind.
What does he feel through those eyes?
What does he see inside?

Hey mister tell me where I'm going to
Hey mister don't you know where I've been
Forever holding on
Growing old within
I see the time, I feel it slip away
One speck of light inside an eternal gaze
And the setting sun will roll round again
I'll requaint my thoughts
With the dearest of friends
I can see it all as it falls away
But in my heart are the better days
Hey mister tell me where I'm going wrong
I feel so absent in my dreams
Under mercury
I've fallen deep.
I spent my time inside this bitter place
I take my life to leave a little space
And the setting sun will roll round again
Over everyone
I can see it all as it falls away
But in my heart are the better days
And in my head maybe I'm wrong to say
But nothing ever lasts
And we're laughing all the way.

Peter Out

So let it peter out
And pan the speakers wide
In tempo with yourself
You keep it all inside
It's what I'm after
Smile, no answer
Die a little every time
I'm whole now I'm home again
I'm sparkling inside
I'll keep you safe from the memories
They're talking through your eyes
So let it beat around
Let it sleep inside
Let the thoughts be found
With no reason why
It's what I'm after
Smile, no answer
Die a little every time
Let it peter out
Pan the speakers wide
In tempo with yourself
Kept it all inside
It's what I'm after
Smile, no answer
Cry a little after
Die a little every time.

Pocket Peculiar

Throw yourself into the sun
And see what light it may bring
My little pocket peculiar
Give us hope and let it sing
Took our chances when we were young
Had some moments but life goes on
Had some fun playing in the dark
The lights are on, the truth is stark
So cruel and unkind
Pull the wool over our eyes
Now nothing ever happens like it did before, I'm sure
I try to remember what it feels like
I try to remember what it feels like before
Now politicians make their play
Fight the fear night and day
Breeding chaos in our hearts
Ignorant and torn apart
So cruel and unkind
Pull the wool back over our eyes
Now nothing ever happens like it did before, I'm sure
I try to remember what it feels like
I try to remember what it feels like before
It's gone...

Thoughtfullessness
03:59
|
|
||
|
Locked inside a tiny bubble
Were you safe from all of life's troubles
But still not too content in all respects.
Everybody is talkin'
And everybody is hopin'
But still no way to express
The thoughtfullessness
Of everything you've ever hoped to prove.
What can we do?
What can we say?
What can we change
To bring some light back in our days?
If one thing's for sure, we'll never know
And in the end we'll have to let these feelings go.
Trapped inside a silver lining
In a cloud where someday you may find me
Locked away from all these answers
In a skull that sings but never dances
And it's so easy to confuse
The love with the abuse
But heaven knows, we'll never make it on our own
What can we do?
What can we say?
What can we change
To bring some light back in our days?
If one thing's for sure, we'll never know
And in the end we'll have to let these feelings go.
'Cause you never know
Can never be so sure
We could be all alone
We could all be walking through the door
In someone else's dream
Tryna' make some sense of everything we've seen
Talking through that hole in the back of our heads
As quiet voice repeats, "We've all been misled"
But wasn't it good?
Hey, it was all good
But wasn't it good?
At least as good as we could.

Subject To Change
03:53
|
|
||

See life lurking in the shadows
For a point of view
All time is locked inside this moment
And it won't wait for you
Caught in a constant evolution
All things must change
We're all afraid to find something
In our own separate ways
So we try, we analyse and fantasise
To find a fairer way
Their lies, they overlay and multiplay
A fog of fear in our days
Waiting for the quiet revolution
nothing will change
All in our corners fighting something
in our own separate ways
So relax, these feelings they will find you
Given time and space
Unwind the mystery around you
And give as long as it takes
Caught in a constant evolution
All things must change
We're all afraid of never knowing
What lies beyond

Unknown Future
05:23
|

The unknown future
Forgotten past
The very moment
That forever lasts
Don't know where we're going
Don't know where we've been
Search every moment to see
What it brings
You say our problems
Are in our head
What you don't realise
Is they're in yours instead.
Say you got no problems
You're in denial
Your lost in confusion
Your lost in a lie.
There's peaks in the landscape
And there's peaks in your headspace
Some peaks last forever
Until they start again.
So where are you going
with that gun in your hand?
Got no way of knowing
If he's ever been dead.
The unknown future
Forgotten Past
The very moment
That foreveer lasts
Don't know where we're going
Or whever we've been
Search every moment to see.

Hand That Feeds
05:12

I am the hand that feeds
I am the hand that gives you what you need
I am the whip
I am the cage
I am the thoughts that crowd your brain
I am love
I am sin
I am both sides that keep your thoughts in chains
I am the hand that feeds
I am the voice that knows
I am the light that sees
I am the seed that forever and ever
And ever, and ever grows
Forever grows
Forever grows
I am the status quo
I am all you see
I am all you know and
I am all you feel
I am all you trust
I am all you fear
I am all you miss and
I am all you'll hear until there's nothing left to know
There's nothing to know
Nothing at all
