Sandcastles 04:21
All of your Sandcastles drifting away Profits once made, drifting away Dreams of your empire turning to rust Financial gains crumble to dust Ch: We are worth more than anything gold Stories are written and told Til you find that your heart’s been on hold And all that you’d wanted is sold You are more than your pile of things With the soul of a bird on its wing I’ll write it for you if you’ll sing Because life is a beautiful thing The parts of the puzzle are making no sense We’re travelling time but in future tense Longing for lessons that we left behind Losing our way but finding our minds Ch: We are worth more than anything gold Stories are written and told Til you find that your heart’s been on hold And all that you’d wanted is sold You are more than your pile of things With the soul of a bird on its wing I’ll write it for you if you’ll sing We can light up the spark that’s within Because life is a beautiful thing

If you think that the world is going to end you better enjoy it my friend, better enjoy it my friend If you think that time is running out is there anything you'd like to shout is there anything you like to shout ? We're all here now but we can't be sure it wont all be gone tomorrow There's a traffic jam in the overtaking lane while the people sailing solitary are all told they are insane. There's a train of thought that it's running off the tracks once we realise will we even want it back? cause we're all here now but we can't be sure where we're gonna want to go tomorrow I'll salute the sun each morning, i'll howl at the moon I'll go to a place of worship, celebrate a tune is there anything you'd like to do *? cause we're all here now but we cant be sure where we're gonna have to go tomorrow (who we're gonna have to meet tomorrow)

As time ticks on I dont know what to do The plot has thickened on the evening news tonight We get distractions with each opened door The smoke screen fades the sun has set some more But I want to know where the sun shines all the time And we can make the music in our minds Where no one knows your name but they still smile and say Just come with me ill take you for a while Remove the smokescreen you might see the door are you too scared to step inside or do you want more? Youve got your big screen and your nine to five The market crashed and maybe a couple of kids died I dont want to buy the paper its just gonna be bad news I dont want to make a statement if I can not clean my room I dont want to see a picture if a lie obstructs the view But do I want to know the truth Close your eyes its easier that way

The Keeper 04:26
High above the water almost in the clouds When the day was over when the stars came out When the light had faded and the gate had closed When our hearts were open and our lives were our own And the walls were built a thousand years ago But we created history of our own I used to be the keeper I used to hold the key I used to share the secrets of all life’s mysteries The ocean was our playground beneath the endless sky The night was there for only us and we could almost fly And the walls were built a thousand years ago But we created history of our own We were the kings and queens that ruled the night But now memories all fade to black and white And all the love and all the smiles The laughter that remains inside The castle that had once defined The man I used to be And 20 years have come and gone And now the sun is setting on The bay that still remains my home High above the water almost in the clouds I sit and think over all the times we had When I was the keeper when we ruled the night And it’s joy that fills my soul for this extraordinary life

have i become an observer was i once an observation am i now into philosophy was i once into creation i see minds grow ever complex all across the nations minds full of un-shatter-able notions minds full of limitations so we glide are we looking for excuses where we used to look for reasons everybody's fighting wars that no-one still believes in i've seen minds so enthused they could think themselves away lap around the universe, still not know what so say so we glide i want to walk with the people of passion will they have me? am i one i want to walk with the people of passion can i still land on my feet, where i once sat on my ass were we looking to the future with conditions from the past i've seen minds so disillusioned by the options on the plate they stumble round for something else and into something great so we glide extra lyrics .. are we digging up our treasures so we can buy more things cashing in our history, for what the future brings i've seen families with no option but to send their dads away when he comes back home again, what's he got to say? are we turning to excuses where we used to look for reasons sending children off to wars that no-one believes in i've seen minds so confronted by the stories coming through they shutdown in the corner crying out for truth (proof)

My Fault 06:36
From your side I can almost see how you feel I’m to blame for all this mess And from your side anger has become a flame Burning on your past regrets But something’s a little confusing to me And something’s a little strange Something’s been making me question you And how much you seem to have changed I really wanted to put my belief in you But you’ve turned around now and put words in my mouth I never intended to take it away from you But you put the blame on me and I simply fail to see how This is my fault now, this is my fault now How is it my fault now, is it my fault now From my side I have been victimised You’ve been creating lies So won’t you tell me why I should apologise… Cause I have been trying to not think the worst of you But your reality is so far removed from me And you seem determined to make it me against you So now I’m the enemy yet still I fail to see how This is my fault now, this is my fault now How is it my fault now, is it my fault now

Round em up 05:47
Round em up, Round em up, Round em up and throw them all away Round up all these seeds that take our liberties we’ll stand up and we’ll say You may have the money but we still have a say We will take your patent crops and shine the light of day Trust in truth we sure can’t trust in you Mr Politician when your children are all sick and taken ill from poison food Then will you trust in truth acknowledging the truth Mr Politician when did it become your vision to contaminate this state Round em up and make them pay Round em up, Round em up, Round em up it’s time they moved along Round em up we’ll show them we have power with conviction and a song You can keep your money we still have a say We don’t want your profit crops we don’t want your sprays Trust in truth we sure can’t trust in you Mr Politician when your children are all sick and taken ill from poison food Then will you trust in truth acknowledging the truth Mr Politician when did it become your mission to contaminate this state Round em up and make them pay Make them pay Tell me Mr Redman, was it always your intention to contaminate this state Round em up and make them pay

How much longer will we silently wander How much longer till it all goes under How much longer will it take till we see How much longer till we choke on the stories that they Feed to me, dont talk to me the day to day hypocrisy Talk to me, no dont talk to me but God Forbid we end this movie. How much longer will there be this cover How much longer till we need another war How much harder is it not to believe How much anger do you suffer when between the lines you Read to me, dont talk to me the day to day hypocrisy Talk to me, dont talk to me God forbid we'd end this movie Fairy tales and nursery rhymes heroic versions of horrific crimes a celebration for all to see how could this possible be all lunatics in the making, thats the story that we hear while the cut and paste collection is there to Orchestrate our Fear for me, dont talk to me the day to day hypocrisy Talk to me, dont talk to me but God forbid we'd end this movie. Another childless mother, another broken shelter but still more ignorant anger does anybody wonder?

6 Bar Jail 05:11
Though I might not stand beside you you’re gonna know where I stand If I’m reaching out to touch you, you can safely take my hand Of all the things that I could say to you I’d say them to your face But you think you’ve got me in my place Stacking up delusions will they ever tumble down Clinging to the anger of the whisper of a truth unfound So I’m sleeping somewhere silently Someone’s slinging mud again Never even opened my mouth to say a word about it all Before I’m asked to leave again Well you can wallow in your squalor just to throw it all my way But I’m sure we can find a better place to play Staking up defences one bullet at a time Looking for distractions from those actions that were never mine They were yours not mine I’ll be heading for the six bar jail but who’s doing time?

Placating 06:38
You'll never know who you is so who are you trying to be your energy is refocused on realities second hand I'll write it into next week's script so you might understand I don't mind watching my life go by but I wont watch yours You're pacified, externally fine, but the stimuli is sending you blind Placating your mind Dirty is clean, sour is sweet if enough of us believe if we put our souls to use what might be achieved once we see that 'cool is the enemy' I don't mind watching my life go by but I wont watch yours You're pacified, externally fine, but the stimuli is sending you blind Placating your mind Fill the void, enclose the space, empty equals bad, bad, disgrace full of other's nothings, just buy bigger till you're proud follow me I know you will, because you cant see your crown Now energy is running, it's running out the door fewer and fewer are sharing more and more and more and more full of other's nothings, just buy bigger till you're proud follow me I know you will, because you cant see your crown

Empty Room 03:32
I’m alone in an empty room Waiting alone in an empty room All alone in an empty room Waiting for you to take me home I got no one but you I don’t want no one but you I can love no one but you So when are you gonna take me home I got nothing in the world but the slowly passing time And the stains upon my lips From a box of cheap red wine But you are like a golden ray Of sweet sunshine And I sink into darkness without you by my side I’m alone in an empty room Waiting alone in an empty room All alone in an empty room Waiting for you to take me home All the things that we would do Alll of the words I would say to you You mean the world to me how can I be The one that you take home I’m alone in an empty room Waiting alone in an empty room All alone in an empty room Waiting for you to take me home
