Wax And Wane

It twists and turns, ebbs and flows
from ear to ear then mouth to nose
And it's a dance of fate no one knows
Their secrets whispered here
and a tall tale it shows
Father sails on by in his damned machine
from nothing we return and the evidence is lean
I say oh oh
Just like the moon I wax and wane
Ergo defences that only fade away
And it's a transient light in the nights domain
In the face of time, we only hold and sway
mother pleated, treated, starch the stain
Then she folds it square
in victory there's pain
And I say oh oh
Sweet Simon carry my load
the days are long and the nights are cold
one more step and then I'll be gone
if I face my fear, then I'll let you know
yes, I'll let you know
hell, I’ll let you know
When punctuation fails I forgot my name
brothers last trains on the track
bring it back my résumé
And it's a game of chance pulling nails
we're only bound to fail when i wax and wane
and I say oh oh
Sweet Simon carry my load
the days are long and the nights are cold
one more step and then I'll be gone
if I face my fear, then I'll let you know
yes, I'll let you know
hell, I’ll let you know

Here I am full of pain and ignorance
and here I stand
ready to jump on the nearest notion
Here we are eager to turn on each other
here I stand
Here I am
here I am
here I am
here I am a blight on the parade
with love and hate
nothing's gonna change our ways
here I stand plague of poison is hard to take
here we are so advanced it will tear us apart
here we stand cross the sacred line
here we stand a tower is falling down tonight
can anyone stop this science?
can anyone stop this progress?
before it kills us all?

The Warrior

if I go driving late at night
can't see you everyday
then you talk about how I scare you at times
like you know how I got made
we were all about the time that's passed
we were different men back then
now we fight under brighter lights
making millions we get paid
yes, I lost my sanity I lost my sight
I lost my sanity I lost my sight
Falling died in your arms
falling died in your arms
blood-sweat-cheap-talk-actions-words
they call me traitor they call me fake
when I died in your arms
would it prove them wrong to take my place
we were different men back then
when we fought under brighter lights
did you see god in the ring?
yes I listened I came to heal
then I bore my soul
for a love they never gave
They took my sanity
they took my sight

Don't let the world fall down on you
even though it's heavy and breaks your heart
we've been building places to set us apart
cross deserts the patrons play their part
Like heathens in the headlights
we've been talking both sides from the start
it happened in the 80s
a fallacy we painted of broken hearts
Back-to-back we've got it going on
a weir's to the wall invitation i call
the strings that blame the puppets
for shooting up the masses
while grinding at their teeth
and drinking from the well
we build another palace to set it all on fire
then grow another forest
to cut the deadwood down
we build another palace to set it all on fire
then grow another forest
to cut the deadwood down
Like heathens in the headlights
we've been talking both sides from the start
it happened in the 80s
a fallacy we painted of broken hearts

The Trap Word

The fire can only take the score
and highlight what is left
the fire will surely take the score
and highlight what is left
a lonely place
a humble pain
Platitude and planes collide
a tangle in this mess
too many souls
to find their way
there’s blood and bone that melts away
a thin veneer
a distant view
you build a paper castle
to wrap around your heart
x2
We build a paper castle
to wrap around your heart
A needle takes the truth
every time it steals my breath
fragments interlock I swear
a lonely place to share
why people always question
what's right in front of their eyes?
there's blood and bone that melts away
like oil in milk
and earth in nails
you build a paper castle
to wrap around your heart
x2
We build a paper castle
to wrap around your heart

I see you're leaving
Your bags are by the door
something tells you not to do this any more
my whinging only gets you down
relentlessly I'm late
the sun is blinding
As it peels away the paint
from our front door
you leave and I contemplate
a moment of clarity
or just a cliché?
you'll take the individual
will it blows me away
while I eat fast food
and waste my brain cells away
i wish i could think I never learned how
let's not get pretentious
I play the game the same as you
Well we've thrown all our money
at a week in Cancun
Those vodka martini's and no minimum wage
but a shiny brochure
for religion or a shrink
the Appending apocalypse
yoga classes while you drink
and all I ever wanted
was the last thing that I saw
don't know what for
don't know what for
and Now we’ve all forgotten
and all bent out of shape
more beautiful than ever
with eyes of a snake
I now realise the point
But as ever I'm late
keeping up validity
hoping for some dignity
our children they listen
to the books I've never read
while putting on accents
from a world so far away
where sliding doors listen
and the actors they don't beg
for another set of mistakes
arranged in plastic letters
well I wish I had questioned
all the stuff I've now become
cos all I ever wanted
was the last thing that I saw
and all I ever wanted
was the last thing that I saw
don't know what for

Stray

Nothing in hand
head full of lead
seventeen years fighting for king and country
now pushing rocks through grid
What you gonna do
when it all falls down
living like lieutenants
in a one-horse town
what you gonna do
when it all locks down behind you
what you gonna do
when the system shuts down
grown apart from your lover
with a broken heart
what you gonna do
when it all locks down behind you
don't stray from the beaten path
don't stray from what you know
don't stray from what we tell you
find a charge and settle down
find a god and settle down

Fortune Favours
04:06
|
|||
|
travel to a world without fear
while children played at war
found religion like pulling on a string
hiding in the darkness of us all
Fortune favours the cold, bold, and powerful
but most of all those that just press on
fortune favours the good, great and fearful
but most of all those that just tune out
If I don't drink, then I don't sleep
if i dont sleep then i won't dream
of getting out this neon town
We all need a way to connect
it helps us find a way
pushback approaching heartache
pre-programmed beats at bay
Fortune favours the cold, bold, and powerful
but most of all
it falls between the gaps
fortune favours the good
the great and the guilty
It sits between the edge
and hides behind that door
If I don't drink, then I don't sleep
if i dont sleep then i won't dream
of getting out this neon town

Brighter With You

Regardless of what I say
it's brighter with you
nevertheless then nothing's real
it's still brighter with you
it's all in your head so they say
when nothing's quite complete
take a load off
save a prayer
then it's brighter
it's brighter with you
We toil from day to day
for a glimpse of something new
only to find out it all looks the same
when the rain comes crashing down
regardless of where we stand
it's brighter with you
nevertheless, we're still on point
cos it's brighter
It's brighter with you
