Bruised and Broken

They tried to climb
But they didn’t make it
Bruised and broken
Bruised and broken
Tried to run
but they couldn’t take it
Bruised and broken
Bruised and broken
And the writings You Know
On the wall That Deep
There coming from the inside Deep
There coming through the door Down
And the writings on the wall Down
you ain’t seen nothing at all. Inside
You cant see nothing at all All
They lied they lie
So they all vocal lacerations
Fools have spoken
Fools have spoken
Many die
Their chains unbroken
Fools have spoken
Fools have spoken
They try to keep them down You Know
But there coming from the right side That Deep
There coming all around Deep
The writings on the wall Down
You think you’ve seen it all Down
But you aint seen nothing at all Inside All
painful words
miss information
scars run deep,
from vicious lies
And the writings You Know
On the wall That Deep
There coming from the inside Deep
There coming through the door Down
And the writings on the wall Down
you ain’t seen nothing at all. Inside
You cant see nothing at all All
They try to keep them down You Know
But you aint seen nothing at all Inside All

Same Boat
03:21
|
|||
|
Did you read the papers?
Have we thrown our lives away?
We’re sinking in quicksand
Then that’s our mistake
We’ve done everything
To make this oh so real
It’s now or never
can we live for ever?
We are all in the
same boat
And its sinking
Were all in the same place
And its spinning
we’re out of control
we’re losing it all
Are we dreaming?
This is not a game
There’s greed from all sides
will we ever win
this hour in the day
this moment in our time
It’s now or never
we can’t live forever
We’re all in the
same boat
And its sinking
We live in the same place
And its spinning
we’re losing control
we’re losing it all
we’re out of minds
we’re out of time
there’s no more talk
And to many walls
We’re losing control
we’re losing our place
we’re sacrificing
All that we’ve made
We’re all in the
same boat
and its sinking
we live in the same space
And its spinning
Losing control
We’re losing it all

Blue Skies
05:47

I watch her smoking someone else's problems away.
She looks at the packet,
if only they were a better type of cigarette.
Every third line had nothing important to say.
A longing sigh and a wishful look.
Cos she wanted him to stay
but instead she got me.
What an unlucky break.
She's driven this way,
everyday, for the past 40 years.
For the first time
it seems a foreign landscape.
Cos she wanted him to stay but instead she got me.
What an unlucky break.
Blue, blue skies falling
Cool breeze comes to shake me
nerves and messes with me
something rotten.
Blue blue skies falling
Wash away my world

Beautiful Notes
04:46
|
|||
|
I’m standing on the corner
listening to the song
that’s playing down
More wonderful notes
Than I count in my head
What is that sound
Driving In my car
Can’t stop now
To find where you are
looking for your sound
To hear your voice
I’m calling
Calling
Calling out to you.
Driving
finding
finding my way to you
I am yours
I’m standing at the crossroads
See The lights coming out in my sky
To many words sang
Too much melody
But it works
Got to find this place
Where I hear your voice
leave my world behind
That’s my choice
You’ve changed my life

Illusions
03:28
|
|||
|
When a fall should be a Stumble
When the strong begins to tumble
On the back of this December
The end of our forever
One more day
One more chance now
Let me paint that spark
The one, that brings the light and hits its mark
Let me paint that spark
With no more illusions
No more illusions
We had our trials, we had our troubles
But there was always tomorrow
Suddenly in haste, four years of yesterdays
Becomes a hard truth to swallow

Midday of Spring
03:31
|
|||
|
We took the Streets
In the midday of spring
speaking out against the world
calling out
Trapped in our grave
The majority spoke
But nothing ever happens
It won’t
Winter Now
The buildings burn
Glow of the night
Keeps us warm
Dust covered cars
Broken glass
Skylight city
See it burn
Lost in faith
The night-time came
To see the wonder of it all
Lost in flame
Running shouts
Running with yells
The boys in blue
Hold on to you
The fading stars
Across the black-tie suits
Cry promises they seldom keep
To keep us waiting
Keep us laying down
And the lights go out
It keeps us warm, so we smile
And it burns, burns, burns
So they stay away, away

Dancing With the Thought
04:08
|
|||
|
Don’t make out to look so sad.
It’s something we all had
when we were younger
we were younger
Can’t think of anything
Any good that will come out of this
That looks better
That looks better
Those memories are wanted
Yes, that would be untrue
So many times, my conscious is hurting
And it seems to be that
All those failings
Can’t be blamed on this
Dancing with the thought
The moment that was bought
Brought on by that high
The movement of the ride
It’s goodbye.
It’s funny how we all made out
It was something we knew about
But didn’t bother
We didn’t bother
Had it all at our touch
Made something of it but it wasn’t much
Gone forever,
Gone forever
Day lights changing
sunshine bleeding
Lost within your kiss
your taste stays on my lips
All those failings
Can’t be blamed on this
Dancing with the thought
The moment that was bought
Brought on by that high
The movement of the ride
Its goodbye.

Competition
03:28

A job worth more than most here
Can’t we make this work
Breaking the time on the side-lines
The job we all want, can’t share
Can’t we make it work
Standing aside of reality, reality
Is this what it’s all for
Are you confident?
The heat, So sweet
Entwined, enforce the call
A way to pass the time here
I’ll make it work
A little accidental tragedy
It fell to me
Is this what you want it for
Are you confident?
The heat, So sweet
Entwined, enforce the call
Depends on where you’re standing,
out on the field
I’ll do anything I can to see this work
Is this what it’s all for
Are you confident?
The heat, So sweet
Entwined, enforce the call
Is this what you want it for
Are you confident?
The heat, So sweet
Entwined, enforce the call

Digging Deeper
03:24
|
|||
|
Somebody out there is paying for something
lock them in
choice undone
Through your eyes I want to see what you need
Yes, you know
The destination
Everybody’s pushing
so I wont stay
It needs to change,
But what’s the right way
Incentivize by looking on the inside
isn’t it time
To show us the payoff
The Tide
I cannot shout
To much has gone down
Digging deeper
Now
We’ll try
To celebrate
Again
Somehow
Someday soon
And through it all
We must change
some will say its not the right way
through the maze
and through our haze
we’ll find out
Who are the ones, who are saying no
Inside out
From the mistakes
That we made
Still throwing stones
At the rain that hides the sun

Jet Plane
02:53

There’s a jet plane in my head.
Take it to the runway.
it's taking way too long.
Sitting in my head
the clouds look better up here
and so, I’m halfway there
Some people say that I know more
But I think I’m Flying blind
don't you judge me
I’m stuck with me
And my mind
There’s a jet plane in my head.
It's going slowly.
I haven't done this before.
Sitting in my head
A million miles and gliding
I think I'm flying slow
It’s too late, I’m not the only fool
that’s flying blind.
When I say that there’s
no room service
I’ve left my problems at home
