Mutiny

There's mutiny on the boundaries
Fringe folk feel there's something shifting
research where we once believed
while dumb and dumber play follow the lead
There's mutiny on the boundaries
24 hour disaster TV
headline outbreak of the minute
and look how pretty here's page 3
Let it crumble - what will rise from the rubble?
There's mutiny on the boundaries
only got one turn and the clock is ticking
war makes money so does disease - whoever wins controls the feed
There's mutiny on the boundaries
we'll buy fresh food with the profits from the quarry
for that rash, here try this cream - or a new vaccine (compulsory)
Let it crumble - what will rise from the Rubble
Focus shifting
culture splitting
fear and fight or hope for light
worthy sources are least reported
while fantastic fanatics are loathed or lorded
if it crashes - what will rise from the ashes?
There's mutiny on the boundaries,
We're walking taller, standing strong
Nailing Arguments with facts
Speaking Softly - but not taking it back!

Take me at my word x4
I won't lie to you x2
Take me at my word
Because I won't lie to you
Know my heart is true
You should know my heart is true
Take me at my word
Because you know my heart is true
I won't let you down
No I'll never let you down
Take me at my word
I won't let you down

Silence Creeping

Silence creeping
Where I used to hear you breathing now it’s only my own weeping
In the stillness of the night I’m huddled like a child and I’m grieving
I let you go, I let you go, I let you go
Now I'm drowning in the darkness suffering my bruised heart beating
Haunted by the voices a chorus in my head repearting
It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault
Can't still my mind these thoughts of you
There will be no sleeping
And now all I hear is silence creeping
Deafening my soul with the emptiness that I’ve been reaping
I am battered and I'm broken, cannot find the light that I'm seeking
It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I let you go
I let you go, I let you go, I let you go
Can’t still my mind these thoughts of you
There will be no sleeping
All I hear is silence creeping
It’s all my fault….

Mixed Emotion, like an omelette that I flip
together at last, or under knife split
Answers sent to trick us
close the options door.
Once we think we know one we go looking for more.
But can you paint a bigger picture without every little stroke?
or the muddy cup of water, dip and have another go.
Can you paint a bigger picture without every little stroke?
be the brush, the paint, the pen, the light, the hope.
The box is getting smaller, I've built myself a house
Caged within my certainty, with windows I don't look out.
Chaos or Creation? Fluke or Plan laid out?
Floating in a system to bring change or bring it down.
But can you paint a bigger picture without every little stroke?
or the muddy cup of water, dip and have another go.
Can you paint a bigger picture without every little stroke?
be the brush, the paint, the pen, the light, the hope.
Look at the past through the eyes of now
find freedom or fear in the eyes of tomorrow
Perception is infinite, everything's real
but how do you feel?

Fig Tree
02:40
|

|
I dreamed last night of a shack by a fig tree
In a parallel world where life was so still
And the seasons were marked by the trees and the flowers
And we’d wait all winter to see daffodil
And I will follow the yellow brick road
The path of your footsteps is always the way home
And one day we’ll be old
Then I’ll have loved you a lifetime
The night was adorned with a half moon above us
All the cars on the highway with somewhere to be
And the world is still turning without my assistance
As I remain blissfully lost in a dream
And I will climb to the highest of branches for just one chance
At a walk down that road
And we may never grow old,
But I’ll have loved you a lifetime
I lie awake on a cold winters evening
While you lay sleeping so peaceful and still
And I wonder where do you go when you’re dreaming

Matter of Fact

It’s a matter of fact Jack
It’s a matter of fact
You going behind my back Jack
Walking down the wrong track
I know all about it
Did you really think that I was blind
You can forget about it
If you think I would change my mind
It’s a matter of fact Jack
It’s a matter of fact
I’m leaving and I won’t come back
It’s a down right matter of fact
It’s a matter of fact Jack
It’s a matter of fact
You’ve broken free of the pack Jack
But don’t you be looking back
(ya see) I’m not down about it
In fact I should’ve left long ago
But you’ll be mad about it
Once you realized that you let me go
It’s a matter of fact Jack
It’s a matter of fact
I’m leaving and I wont come back
It’s a down right matter of fact

Inside this room

Inside this room
I wrap myself around you and surround you like a skin
And the air that comes from your lungs is the air that I breathe in
With our fingers intertwined as our hearts both beat in time
I am yours and you are mine, let the night be drenched in wine
The blood it courses through me and our senses are unfurled
And your smell intoxicates me and my toes begin to curl
And the softness of your touch sends sweet shivers down my spine
Let the night be drenched in wine, let the night be drenched in wine
CH: Love, love, love I get lost in you
Time stands still inside this room
Sex is in the air and it’s seeping through our pores
And your lips envelop my lips and they’re crying out for more
I can hardly breathe for wanting you, can hardly breathe at all
The candle flickers on the roof as time slows to a crawl
And you sway me and you rock me and the room begins to spin
And your eyes they shine like diamonds, sweat glistens on your skin
And you’ve never been so beautiful, the stars have all aligned
Let the night be drenched in wine, Let the night be drenched in wine
CH
Love, love, love don’t forget to breathe
Rest your head, let’s drift off to sleep

Through the Windmill
04:21
|
|||
|
Creatures of habit slaves to the same
One after another flapping our wings
Trying to fly, trying to sing
Together through the Windmill
Upstream through the windmill
Don't think too much, don't turn around
don't attach a memory to every sound
don't feel too much you'll fall flat down.
Together through the Windmill
Upstream through the windmill
Perpetual preparation for a doomsday planned
taken over my nations, religions and bands
Xenophobes trapped in cells of the same
limit and limit the name of the game
we wont look up for fear of light
keep our head down, get it right.
Don't look too deep what will we find
Canary in a Coal Mine
Creatures of habit slaves to the same
One after another flapping our wings
Follow the leader, carrot on a string
Swearing and Screaming - until we stop!
What if we just float free for a while?

Drops of Rain
02:33
|

|
Drops of rain make their way
From concrete coloured skies
Falling down on my face
Like the tears I cry
I know one day it’ll all be okay
And my heartache will be gone
But while the rain is here to stay
I’m content to weep along
Drops of rain make their way
From concrete coloured skies
Falling down on my face
To bid the hurt goodbye
Multiply the tears I cry
And share my broken dreams
All that I need tonight
Is for the sky to mourn with me
