You know how it feels
to roll away like a stone And sing like a dove that's found its way home The filth on the ground or washed up on the shore We try where they've failed but they'll reap what they sow And it's the passion we feel as we run through life I hope a time will come when they realise what they've done The lone CEO, chosen for his worth To build cash-tiled walls above the smoke-stacked sky But what if you never drew your breath on a warm sun-filled day or caught all your dreams, in a season of tranquillity, tranquillity, tranquillity... They're slowly destroying what we love shakin' it, breakin' it slowly |

Isn't it funny how you never really screamed at my face
But your anger so unspoken and unchannelled Permeates my essence to the point where 0 I don't want to see you, hear you Be anywhere near you You probably think I'm threatened by you But your illusionary power doesn't threaten me Actually, I think it's kind of funny That you create an illusion that is a mirror I don't appreciate you and I know that that surprises you I suppose you see that those who follow their heart always win Those with integrity have won the match before it's begun So rather than being kicked around I'm going to kick you to the curb So rather than being pushed around I'm going to push you away first So rather than trying to protect you I'm going to cover my bases first So rather than trying to open my heart I'm going to lock it with a key So that only the special ones So that only the special ones Can ever get through to me Some can see beyond the barrier of threshold Whereas others can't see beyond their sculptured mold You could offer me nothing You could offer me nothing that I need Do you think I'm asking too much? A kind of respect and trust that shouldn't even be questioned How can I open my heart with dishonesty sitting next to me? I've honoured your honour to the point of embarrassment But innocence in the hands of the guilt-free is kicked to, is kicked to the curb I was ashamed of my innocence, I was ashamed of my innocence But now with clarity, I see that your bullshit is just not worthy of me So rather than being kicked around I'm going to kick you to the curb So rather than being pushed around I'm going to push you away first So rather than trying to protect you I'm going to cover my bases first So rather than trying to open my heart I'm going to lock it with a key So that only the special ones So that only the special ones Can ever get through to me I don't want to be angry... This is not worthy of me and now with clarity I see that I can walk away, I can walk away |

Save me from the judgement of a fool, save me from dressing down the rich man
Save me from the judge's writing tool, releasing now An aptitude for anything at all, no need for time to ponder on the maybes Now happiness will one day really fall, on you like rays of gold Won't you rain on me now Won't you rain on me now Do your shoes fit you as they did before, are you walking steady since you took the fall I know it must be hard to be strong, and still move on I look inside your child-like eyes, believing thoughts that tear you up inside I know you're out there trying not to hide so let it go, & flow down Won't you rain on me, won't you pray with me Won't you cradle me, would you label me won't you rain... |

she always said it was difficult to be jealous
of something that wasn't really there I thought I knew love but I was simply trying to convince myself of it trying to justify and prove myself finding your own love of yourself and sharing it with another love, your truth sears through me like a giddy rush but like a too sharp knife as well It's hurting me It's not so scary, it is liberating, it is truth I see your truth and you see mine, we shock ourselves with the imagery only cause I hold up the mirror and I show you me and you show me yourself CHORUS I think It's called truth, I know that It's right in all It's splendid beauty and vivid gain I think It's called truth, I think it deserves to bring beautiful glory with necessary pain you do not make me feel complete just part of another whole that halved is another wonderful self joined in a beautiful mystery journey a snake finding legs and a horse learning to sit a while making mistakes along the way and hurting another is par for the course, if you are following your own, which ofcourse you need to do as broken wings are mended and we watch us fly I see your truth and you see mine, we shock ourselves with the imagery only cause I hold up the mirror and you show me and I show you myself CHORUS |

Urban enzyme digest slowly
eating crust and crouton wholly Cut up news with froth and frolic hero doomed and alcoholic not a picture prized or pretty burning engines in the city not a word now could be tainted when ivory teeth come golden plated running frowning waving madly came from nothing returning gladly he said strip, strip, shout it out you've done me over, now let me out the bastard son of.... the bastard son of you know who. flashes lighten grime and gravy instant when it's bright and maybe happiness will someday bite from eating starbeams in the night crunch it chew it spit it out strip the flesh and suck it out between the teeth of envy plain come bits of cosmos fire and rain Will you ever know how it feels no mother or father to depend upon will you ever know how it feels to be alone in this world - all alone |

An old lady helps me as I'm crossing the road
She sees the direction and the weight of my load She points to a man taking peace to the poor And a record is broken by the arm of the law And you and I as we skate, pitch or ride We seek our adventures in the places we hide The pendulum dances, opinion poles swing Not to mention the meaning of contemporary things PRE-CHORUS We're chasing the feeling that our money can't buy Our pocket books empty but we're ready to try CHORUS On strange days everything is stranger And don't I know nothing comes without danger On strange days everything is stranger Don't I know nothing comes without danger Drowning not waving in a film title end Our mothers and fathers have postcards to send We calculate the loss and unfortunate things And the healthy economy that good warfare brings PRE-CHORUS We're chasing the feeling that our money can't buy Our pocket books empty but we're ready to try CHORUS On strange days everything is stranger And don't I know nothing comes without danger On strange days everything is stranger Don't I know nothing comes without danger |

Floating in calm waves silence and no shame
Send me to the ether world Wash it down with salt Time-honoured deals and virtues unspoken The nat-ure of the beast You take what's yours and don't ask why Rise above the curfew, even if it hurts you Better softly keep the focus true the dream is on The smiling tides of chemical dreams won't get you where you want to be won't get you where you want to be Salient pearls of wisdom if taken right Married with good intention, you'll learn to fly Better softly keep the focus true the dream is on The smiling tides of chemical dreams won't get you where you want to be won't get you where you want to be |

Chorus
I knew you, before you entered through the deadly door It's eaten away at you, it's given you the itch You're dreaming of returning but you don't think you can They don't sell the product to you they sell you to the product They don't give a f**k about you they just want their daily dosh I wish you could see through this I wish you could believe That you can really do this I know you can Chorus They don't want to know about you're aspirations They don't care about where they're sending you to They don't mind to blacken your stream They are pulling you along, so when will you see? Chorus You're dreaming, You're dreaming of returning to that safe warm abyss It's given you the itch, It's given you an insatiable itch |

A weapon of fire, emotions mistrust
And they're still lying, they won't be to pushed Call me to freedom, too much to bear Take me to reason, and I'll fly from there But if you run, and hide, you'll lose my soul When it's time to cross the tide, I'll be lost in the flow when the truth won't happen please don't try to run If life was a season, the leaves turned to grey Call in a freebird, who may light the way These words were spoken, to tempt you from fire A hope for emotion, which came to desire But if you run, and hide, you'll lose my soul When it's time to cross the tide, I'll be lost in the flow when the truth won't happen Please don't try to run Or the world we're shaping Will fall from the sky I'll take your happy fall And linger as time goes on Solitary motion, will lead to despair Fortunes in bleeding, will bring souls to bear But if it's hoping, I'm hoping too much It's not the solution, to live on mistrust But if you run, and hide, you'll lose my soul When it's time to cross the tide, I'll be lost in the flow When the truth won't happen Please don't try to run ....When you're lost please don't try to run Please don't try to run.... |

I see love and beauty all around,
I also see the sadness thats embedded in your frown. I wonder why you choose not to talk to those who surround, I sense a fear of lifting heavy feet, higher than you want to, I just want to believe your truth.. you stand there but you do not cast a shadow you walk away with every word you choose not to say i suppose that moving on paints a new colour for each day i dont like to see dreams put on the shelf to deal with on that one day i just want to be happy for you Cause i only have one second, this minute today. Can't press rewind and turn it back and call it now, And so this moment i just have to sing out loud, I say i love i like and breathe in now, And say i love i live and breathe in now. I move on holding on to what i learn, It's time to let go of the notion, that the whole world's against me, Break free of shackles that formed young time free in now and now i know its not all up to me, i can count on another so move on lighter and be free Cause i only have one second, this minute today. Can't press rewind and turn it back and call it now, And so this moment i just have to sing out loud, I say i love i like and breathe in now, And say i love i live and breathe in i beleive in for today i just want to know that you're okay cause i beleive in breathing just for today i just want to know that you're okay |

It's four past the shaking hands
and the house is shouting and the wide ocean's smile is two mountains away If the burning laughter refracts out the window and too many threads are pulled and leaves a mark on your night-face as red as Shanghai in Autumn Moon If the frozen-flat birds can thaw to soar north against the wind and stare across this great wide land with faith and feather You'll know I'll be there - my love If I'm drowning serenely and the browning and the torn picture of your unshakeable smile breathes life into my eyes I'll always be seeing you - my love When the brush is out of paint and we stroke the gaps full of silence and restraint and the canvas starts to peel that's when, that's when, I'll take your hand |

I can't help waiting deliberating,
depths of age pale away and I am trying to rediscover the wide-eyed beauty of the first glance and you can take what's mine, add to the weight of time with cold eyes and a furrowed brow and you can take what's mine, turn back the hands of time but for young, time is the sun from where does fear spawn, from the older ingrained scorn does it mean that my mind won't cry and I can't believe that you're happy to bleed from your cold eyes each year I peel back my skin and fleshy pink appears yet a harder layer grows, to protect my uncertainty young grow fear to love, resist my resistance reluctance to return a smile from where does fear spawn from the older ingrained scorn does it mean that my mind won't cry and I can't believe that you're happy to bleed from your cold eyes |
