Fool Like Me 02:50
I take a day to appreciate you To take you in in all your beauty I watch you I’m nervous, You’re walking towards me And I will take your hand and walk with you. I fear you’re wasted, your beauty wasted Perfection wasted on a fool like me. From our first glance, I was captured All I ask is that you’ll never set me free. On this day I understand why Every head turns in the moment you walk by. You watch me I’m breathless, You’ve witnessed my darkest Loved me through the things I couldn’t hide. I fear you’re wasted, your beauty wasted Perfection wasted on a fool like me. From our first glance, I was captured All I ask is that you’ll never set me free. I got to lock the gate you’re at my door The deeper that you see the more I’m sure Love was never true until I felt it for you. I fear you’re wasted, your beauty wasted Perfection wasted on a fool like me. From our first glance, I was captured All I ask is that you’ll never set me free. All I ask is that you’ll never set me free.

Thunder, thunder and rain Flick of a switch and lightning courses through cloud veins. Thunder keeping me sane, Rumbling through my mind shutting open doors, Thunder and rain. Listen to the pulse of the rain gently falling, Sing with the howl of the winds reverie Answer the plea of the seas gentle calling Amidst all this chaos is where I want to be. Thunder pounding the sky, Beat of a drum resonating like a monsters cry. Thunder, thunder and light Making sure that no one has any peaceful dreams tonight. Listen to the pulse of the rain gently falling, Sing with the howl of the winds reverie Answer the plea of the seas gentle calling Amidst all this chaos is where I want to be. And I will traipse through the wet, wet grass to get a little closer Rain refracts like molten glass, I’ve got to get closer. The danger is so sweet. Oh the danger is so sweet! Thunder and rain. Thunder and rain.

Last weeks end and this weeks beginning Meld to one boring pie with no filling Tastelessly flavourless, circle that’s centreless Luckily boredom ain’t prone to bulk billing. Yesterdays news is todays social highlight Keeping my mind entertained through to twilight Yesterdays history keeping my sanity Same hook for the same fish to bite. I like yesterday better that today, It always looks better when the endings already played. Shoot myself in the foot so I can stay in bed. Maybe i’m too lazy to get off my hiney and Jump in the gene pool to make some waves, ey. I wake up late to make sure I feel awake, Wasting the morning to savour the day My insignificance caused by my selfishness Feel hopelessness wash me away. I like yesterday better that today, It always looks better when the endings already played. Shoot myself in the foot so I can stay in bed. Maybe i’m too lazy to get off my hiney and Jump in the gene pool to make some waves, ey. Oh won’t someone notice me, won’t someone carry me, Feel I’m cast in some social parody Every line spoken a mirror is broken, Maybe it’s time that I throw off my fears. I like yesterday better that today, It always looks better when the endings already played. Shoot myself in the foot so I can stay in bed. Maybe i’m too lazy to get off my hiney and Jump in the gene pool to make some waves, ey.

Undone 03:09
I waved goodbye to someone, Watching him carrying away my heart in his bag, I hid it in his suitcase Hoping one day he would return to bring it back. Oh --- I miss you, whether an hour or a day Oh --- I miss you, you’ve taken my heart far away. Here in a crowd I am swimming through silence, Wishing I was in a dream so I’d hold to your ghost, Gravity far behind us, Holding everything back so you’d appear close Never would, I believe, I could feel, incomplete, Here I am watching the clock tick on I’m, Holding on, tryna push, lean on time, make it rush All the while knowing my heart is coming undone. Oh --- I miss you, whether an hour or a day Oh --- I miss you, you’ve taken my heart far away. Never would, I believe, I could feel, incomplete, Here I am watching the clock tick on...

Admit defeat, the battle is over You lost your seat to daisies and clover. Bow your knee, dust off your shoulder There’s some things that you need to discover for yourself. Drink of the Rain, let it cleanse you of yourself. Swallow your pain, for in your weakness you will find your wealth. In your defeat, I’ve seen your victory. Rest your feet. You’ve been running so long you don’t know what you’re running from. Mourn with the sunshine, rejoice in the grey Shout in the valley “Let’s begin our yesterday”. Lay down your crown, I’ll show you your kingdom What you’ve found is a treasure far too heavy for your burdened heart, With which you cannot part. Drink of the Rain, let it cleanse you of yourself. Swallow your pain, for in your weakness you will find your wealth.

Rumours 03:25
Cover my ears I don’t want to hear anymore. Lies upon lies, credibility thrown out the door. How am I meant to believe that one so close to me Could commit the ultimate betrayal. And how can I question a love, the only love I’ve known? Is my doubt in fact betrayal? Cover my eyes, can’t handle this sight anymore. Strobed silhouettes turning pirouettes around my already dizzy mind. They move in untraceable steps, I try to forget These rumours that poison my perceptions. They feed my fears for the worst, I can’t breathe cause it hurts. I fell for their deception. I fell, I fell, I fell for their deceptions. I fell, I fell, I fell for their deceptions. Thought I’d be stronger, thought I’d be wiser. I fell to the lies that compromise us, I fell for their deception. Cover my mouth as poison seeps out from my teeth. Accusations cast, all trust is lost and I’m only one sentence deep. My tongue is a viper at best, an uninvited guest In this moment of hearing your perspective. I see the pain it inflicts, the love it constricts. Is my anger but subjective?

My Only 03:23
I was entranced by you, caught in a dance with you Easily lit by a spark, a romance. You were in awe of me, fell to the core of me Said you were sure we could fall even more. But I, I feared you would steal me Oh I, I thought you’d conceal me No I never thought we could be. You are my only, part of my story I cannot dream beyond you. You have inspired me, helped to untie me How could I dream beyond you? Here we are entwined in action and in mind I find I can’t define the line between self Fighting the incline to fast redraw the lines Before I forget where my walls used to lie You are my only, part of my story I cannot dream beyond you. You have inspired me, helped to untie me Why would I dream beyond you? I was – cautious – little – nauseous Something – told me – don’t give in to this Fighting – my mind – rather – be blind Than to – live in total irrational fear. You are my only, part of my story How could I dream beyond you? You have inspired me, helped to untie me I cannot dream beyond you.

Water trickling down my window, Skies grey canvas has soaked through. I am warm and I am happy. Tucked in my blankets, thinking of you. Steam is dancing from my teacup, Shadows lurk as shadows do. I’m not sad, I’m not lonely. In my own world thinking of you. No reality can distract me, You’re a mist before my eyes, You’re running through my mind, uncontrollable. Every moment is greater with you, Every dull grey has now turned a sky blue And I’m dancing in a daydream thinking of you. Now the moments just beginning, Yesterday is but a thought You’re my tomorrow, you’re my today. Scetching with crayons. Thinking of you.

Hey Peter 03:03
Hey Peter, Waddaya say Lets run from here so we can play And I don't mind if you say it was your idea. Take me to Never Land For this is not what I had planned And we'll stay young forever Why don’t we find a tree Sit beneath the falling leaves Catch the rain upon our tongues As it tries to steal the sun Why don’t we play hide & seek While we’re small enough to Sneak amongst the trees. Hey Peter, lets bring our friends It’s much more fun when games are shared And I might even let them try some cake We’ll dig our toes in the grass And laugh at how we always laugh And everyone will feel alive Why don’t we find a tree Sit beneath the falling leaves Catch the rain upon our tongues As it tries to steal the sun Why don’t we play hide & seek While we’re small enough to Sneak amongst the trees. Hey Peter, I’m getting old Don’t let them lock me in a home We can run away to Neverland I know my memories no good I forgot where we left the food But do we care? Why don’t we find a tree Sit beneath the falling leaves Catch the rain upon our tongues As it tries to steal the sun Why don’t we play hide & seek While we’re small enough to Sneak amongst the trees.

Precipitate 03:24
This doesn’t have a name, and neither do I No sought after fame, Just tryna get by For heaven I reach, my toe dipped in hell, Face down on the beach as I fall through the swell Dropped from the clouds I thought that I Was destined to more than the world could provide Make my reflection, I sit and stare At all I am not. I’m left with a choice, I’d rather not make To open my voice, or to drown in the shade With the others who gave Their freedom away. Dropped from the clouds I thought that I Was destined to more than the world could provide Make my reflection, I sit and stare At all I’ve become. Drop from the clouds, see all I am not Like the rain falls on the ground. Drop from the clouds, now I decide, Whether I’ll fall to the earth where I’ll dry Or will I glide, like the first snow. We must all precipitate - how will you fall?
