Truths Beckoning You I got me a style looking for the truth now In defining my style got addicted to you now Couldn't stay single file till I bumped into you now I got me away just to get to you now It’s a long way to go Long way to go Stuck on your own, you know you got a long way to flow And You're on your own On your own now And the truth is biting you and you know. You're on your own On your own now And the truth is beckoning you, but you just cant go. I got me a style that’s just constructed from you now Got a face that’s disgraced by my own confusion Why you so stylish when you're abusing? I'll live but it won’t be because of you now It’s a long way to go Long way to go Stuck on this land and your head’s in the sand You're on your own On your own now And the truth is beckoning you, but you just cant go. You're on your own On your own now And the truth is beckoning you, but you just cant go. O you don't say no.

I Think I’ll Run There a look and now you found me Drag me through the stream don’t drown me. In the awesomeness I breathe, I can’t help but feel deceived. All my breath you took from me, Inside I see a heart so free I Chase your rainbows and their cause, I trip and stumble now I'm lost. Wont you tell? Wont you tell? Wont you tell? Wont you? I think I'll run. Rose coloured spectacles around me. Colour fill me up Surround me. In the darkened I am free, Dreaming strength pulls you to me, But there's a cloud that’s in my way, It’s impossible by day To chase your rainbows and their cause, I trip and stumble now I'm lost. Wont you tell? Wont you tell? Wont you tell? Wont you? I think I'll run. I think I’ll run. A thousand miles, away from here, from the smiles. Away from you, away from me, away from vulnerability. Away from the rain, the taste of pain. I stop to breathe and run again. Wont you tell? Wont you tell? Wont you tell? Wont you? I think I'll run. There a look, and now you've found me, Drag me through the stream don’t drown me. Colour fill me up surround me Colour taint the world around me.

On A Mission 04:46
On A Mission Find myself hummin, stammerin an stumblin, chokin when words come out. Find myself running, stumblin 'way from somethin, Crawlin in the mist and doubt. Gotta find my feet now, Gotta get some sleep now, wake up with uncertain smile. Gotta cut my ties now, put away my lies now, Turn them loose to the sky. Find me on my mission baby, Takin back whats mine. You'll find me on my mission You know I’m losing it you know I’m going blind. But its on with the show the river she knows to turn back the tide Finding the rhyme in the dirt & the grime makes a beautiful mind. Filled with the sun. Making this heart come undone. Try to stop me changin, i keep re-arrangin The movement in this mind. Try to stop me stumblin, keep me from runnin, Fumblin in the dark, i'm Blind. Gotta Stop from sinkin, Going under sinkin, Washin away with the tide. Find me on my mission baby, Takin back whats mine. You'll find me on my mission You know I’m losing it you know I’m going blind. But its on with the show the river she knows to turn back the tide Finding the rhyme in the dirt & the grime makes a beautiful mind. Filled with the sun. Making this heart come undone. Sit me right down & start again...

Drive me round the bend I cant eat I cant sleep I cant stand up on my feet I cant walk Only crawl And get driven up the wall You've stood me up Dragged me down Rubbed my face in muddy ground You’ve held me back Took out your flack On my aching head and back But you can drive me round the bend if you still want to. You can tie me to the fence if you still want to. Coz you got a brand new car Bein seen with you Well, it just makes me a star I dont like the way that you are But if you changed It would be strange.. Let me in your car. All this pain Its insane You drag me through the field again Make me weep Its too deep All my i calm just cant keep And its true Being with you Keeps me couped up in a zoo You burn the fire, Light my rage Watch me struggle in my cage. But you can drive me round the bend if you still want to. You can tie me to the fence if you still want to. Coz you got a brand new car And Bein seen with you Well, it just makes me a star I dont like the way that you are But if you changed It would be strange Please- let me in your car. I cant leave Its all on you You got my power So Cut me loose But i wont go I'll follow you To the dark side of the moon

Dear Fear 04:35
Dear fear. You're always near to me. Changing your face. Changing your shape. But always around. Silence is your haunting sound. Cold is your touch. Dry is your taste. You're ever changing faces Are present in all my failings. A picture of you, Is always with me. And when the day comes to an end You roam the house, you take my bed You sing me to sleep You're all that i dream. Dear fear. I hear your voice its haunting. In tempered winds. You draw me in. A colourless form lurking in doorways in the dark. In spiky hard rain. On empty night trains you travel. On cold iron railings bleeding rust With prisms of dark light you cut Me down to the quick, Down to the bone. And when its necessary To be in the mortuary Will you follow me through The process of death? Dear fear. Chasing me home. My thoughts are with you alone. Cant seem to think of anyone else. You paralyse me in all that i be. Dear fear, i declare to you: I'll chase you down, and take all your power, and cut you in half and how I will laugh. Dear fear, you have to leave my house. A picture of you I'll never keep with me.

Basement 03:24
Basement Ode to the basement in my loft That Just wont let me be Enticing glances fuel intent But contradict me A heavy pull to go down there Where the madmen dance in drunken trance Fixated on their lewd romance Never coming up for air Or see the light of day But i yearn to go their way I want to touch and feel and taste With furrowed brow, intentful face Dark looks taunt away my base A darkly play driven dancing case Prancing naked in the haze Of a mind thats lost inside the plays teasing, flooding, darkly soft In the basement of my loft But O the light of dawn it breaks And to its lofty morning takes Me to the view of a life so pure So pure Of beauty clean and lively light Of pure and simple, beauty white Where angels fly and warmly smile Call to freedom, to flight But I long to go the way Where these angels do not play Trapped in the basement of my loft But How to silence a sirens call? Enticing me to graceless fall? Where naked get before the flame To spill and brim and murmur play To draw the milky essence out Demand tease abandon bout Ode to a life so pure and soft Without the basement in my loft.

Madman When the shadow of death swiftly covers his heart. When he silently chill to the bone. Will the train that you missed be his final sound? As he takes his last breaths all alone? Will he die all alone in a wasted life? will he die in a sea of regret? Has he wasted this life in a wish in a lie? Will there be anyone at his deathbed? Had it easy, had it easy But now falling Into the the hands Of a madman Racing through all the years, this life's flying by All around is the sound of lost time And time waits for no man nor lends no hand And alone do we go through this life But There's wind in his sails for a turn-around For his beauty and grace to arise Not to waste in haste, nor chances misplaced For you cant take for granted this life Had it easy, had it easy But now falling Into the the hands Of a madman Maybe goner am I. No longer alive. A wild wind carrying me through the sky that's falling Into the hands of a madman Still time: to fill the fields of his dreams, make them overgrown With the fruits of his wishes fulfilled To make Darkness & pain forget his name For his ocean to be Peaceful & still To take all of his breaths In places of bliss For his mind and the stars be one For his eyes to be shining His heart to be filled With a love like the warmth of the sun Had it easy, had it easy But now falling Into the the hands Of a madman Maybe goner am I. No longer alive. A wild wind carrying me through the sky that's falling Into the hands of a madman.

Start Of Something New Well It ain’t just the things that I want from you now It ain’t just the things That I know to be true now It ain’t just the feeling In the cage of a soul here That’s making me thin, making me grow old, dear. Meet me half way Let the bad bad feelings be through Meet me half way: At the start, the start Of Something New. Can’t open myself In a world made of fear I Can’t sit and smile In a world made of tears Need you to cool All my fires, all my rage Need you to spell out All the words on my page. Meet me half way Let the bad bad feelings be through Meet me half way: At the start, the start Of Something New. Now that this old tale of mine From my world has been told. Will you open yourself? Shower me with your gold? I'd give you my all. Give you the music of my soul. That we'd run & we'd chase the sun growing old.

Hang On 04:07
Hang On To Express what I feel in words Would Cheapen the deal to me Want to give myself to you In a movie filled with tall trees Don’t jump till you say you've done it all Don’t drop till you know you've said it all Don’t die till your embers burn out. Though the edge is calling out, jump away with no doubts but till then: Hang on. hang on. Hang on. hang on. Please be soft with me I'm kind but I’m out of line Intended to climb the staircase But got blinded by my own design Don’t jump till you say you've done it all Don’t drop till you know you've said it all Don’t die till your embers burn out. Though the edge is calling out, jump away with no doubts but till then: Hang on. hang on. Hang on. hang on. Can’t express what its all about Can’t tell you my fears & my doubts But I just can’t live without them now Couldn’t reach where I aimed Couldn’t stay to play the game Couldn’t see the path in front When I jumped. And I jumped. Don’t jump till you say you've done it all Hang On. Hang On. Don’t drop till you know you've said it all Hang On. Hang On. Hang On. Hang On. Hang On.

Bad Times 05:08
Bad Times You. Got a calling. As you're Climbing up ten thousand miles. Taking you. To a dawning Of new times in this life. And this energy you're pulling in is calling you to rise within. And in your hands the rays of sun light up and cross the skies around. And you feel yourself just walking from bad times Feel them all just melting away. Bad times they got no holds on you As you slip and you trip away. You. Got something. To give us all, to bring us through. Give. Give it all now And re-write the written rules. All Your secret thoughts have come to pass in this world that is your looking glass. So come on, dream out, Show yourself, speak out To the waiting world outside around. And you feel yourself just walking from bad times Feel them all just melting away. Bad times they got no holds on you As you slip and you trip away. And where this goes i cannot say.

Lemon Sponge 03:53
Lemon Sponge Don't wanna talk about lemon sponge. I speak, I write, of life, of death. Of railway lines that lead nowhere. Of lives and heroes - girls & boys. Of those who live to spread their joy. Of wonderment, fulfilment, Of Struggles in exile to pay the rent. Of worlds and workers who fought for life, Of journeys taken with greatest intent. (Your thoughts just make it all) Keep your trivia at bay. I cant fit in. I can't. I can't fit in: To commonplace talk That leads nowhere And has no spark. No romance or no magic in. I'm just a sucker for a word That sums up my living in the world. An expression that knows where i am. These Words are just a homing device That let you know your souls entwined with something precious. Something divine. (Your thoughts just make it all) Keep your trivia at bay. I cant fit in. I can't. I can't fit in: To commonplace talk That leads nowhere And has no spark. No romance or no magic in. That's all i need from a talk. That's all i want from my work. That's all i ask from the company i keep. Please don't talk about cake. Its cheap. Your thoughts just make it all...

Rut Shaped Room rut shaped life, rut shaped plans rut shaped woman, rut shaped man rut shaped hands that lost the key to you & me. No way out and nowhere to go Its Rut shaped rock and rut shaped roll This rut-shaped world o mine ain't got no soul All happens in a rut shaped hole. Its happening! Whats happening? Nothing at all Just rut shaped people in rut shaped walls With rut shaped prizes on the mantlepiece Of you & me. As the ants and the roaches crawl the walls in the rut shaped hole. Fill my ears with sounds to keep Not rut shaped stories that end in grief The grief of havin no way out Of a rut-shaped house. While the ghosts & the spirits chill me to the bone in this rut shaped home. Someone give me a sign Coz I'm going blind And i took too much time to get out of here. But can be no doubt that moving up on and out ain't gonna be easy, but its worth it, worth it: Anything but this... So be them stuck in their rut shaped life, Blame their husband, blame their wife. But never the thoughts that made it all. That make them sit in the rut shaped walls. That make them crave a shitty life of nothing done at home or away. That howls and scowls all night, all day. Keep your words of doom and gloom Keep them for your rut-shaped room. Just do us all a favour?: get out of there Your rut shape is sending me to despair...
