Clear The Air

Verse 1
Got the solution for a better day,
This mind pollution is getting in the way,
I’m going to break it down piece by piece,
Until insanity starts to cease.
I’m getting closer but I’m at a dead end,
A new approach is what I’d recommend,
Obsessive process of analysis,
An invitation to a state of bliss.
Chorus
I can’t stop thinking on those lines,
I’ve got a battle in my mind,
I can’t stop wasting my own time,
Your life isn’t yours it’s mine
Verse 2
My mind is full of frustration and doubt,
I’m having trouble working everything out,
The ego playing swings and roundabouts,
Punching and kicking with a scream and shout.
This tug o’ war is taking over me,
Which way I’ll go we’ll have to wait and see,
A new plateau of serenity…and
Fresh desires, so get over here and kiss me.
Chorus
I can’t stop thinking on those lines,
I’ve got a battle in my mind,
I can’t stop wasting my own time,
Your life isn’t yours it’s mine
Middle
Believe what you want, I don’t care,
Regain control, clear the air.
Chorus
I can’t stop thinking on those lines,
I’ve got a battle in my mind,
I can’t stop wasting my own time,
Your life isn’t yours it’s mine
So…
stop existing start living (x4)

Verse 1
This reckless chapter has run it’s course,
Try to feel no remorse, I hope it’s the same for you.
Are we through? Are we in this together,
You change like the weather, make up your mind will you.
Your performance your stage what a show,
How am I meant to know?, I’m not a mind reader.
I know why you’ve chosen this path,
Want to smile, want to laugh, forget the sadness I bring you.
Chorus
Now we’re on …
Red alert, alert, alert,
These names will never hurt, won’t hurt, won’t hurt,
Stick and stones, break bones, break bones, I’m home,
I’d rather sleep alone, sleep has lost it’s comfort.
Verse 2
Now you’ve tasted you’re thirsty for more,
When you walk out the door I’m no longer existent.
You’re standing right here next to me,
Take a look, don’t you see that you’re acting so distant.
There’s no need to keep up this façade,
Reputations are tarred, time to stop this pretending.
You’re counting down all of the days,
This transitional phase just seems so never ending.
Chorus
Now we’re on…
Red alert, alert, alert,
These names will never hurt, won’t hurt, won’t hurt,
The sticks and stones, break bones, break bones, break bones,
You’re not coming home, I’m all alone.
Middle
Brick by brick we build up the walls around us
I can’t knock it down, I can’t climb over (x3).
Chorus/outro
These bricks, these bricks, these bricks,
Keep building up the wall, the wall, the wall,
We climb and then we fall, no chance at all,
The final curtain call for us on…
Red alert, alert, alert,
These names will never hurt, won’t hurt, won’t hurt,
The sticks and stones break bones, break bones, break bones,
It’s time to change your tone and
Go into the unknown.

Game Of Two Hearts

Verse 1
You’ve got no plans or strategy,
You’re just upsetting me.
Try, try again, please don’t give up.
Celebrate, lift up your cup.
Chorus
Hold it together, don’t fall apart, don’t fall apart.
Hold it together, don’t fall apart, it was a difficult match from the start.
Verse 2
In the end you failed, but carry on,
You’re the best, my number 1.
Pin all my hopes, my hope’s on you.
This belief will get me through.
Chorus
Hold it together don’t fall apart, don’t fall apart (x2).
Don’t lose your faith, this is tactical, not impractical.
So this isn’t working, that’s factual, you’re just incapable.
Middle
Gathering strength, gathering strength.
Recuperate, recuperate.
(Repeat)
Chorus
Hold it together, don’t fall apart, don’t fall apart (x2).
But now it’s nearly over there’s no dispute, there’s no dispute.
It’s late in the game, where’s my substitute?, where’s my substitute?

Ghosts

Verse 1
When the coast is clear, that’s when the ghosts appear,
They’re in the kitchen while you’re in the living room.
I saw the irony in a second rate movie,
But you felt nothing, so I felt nothing.
Verse 2
We’re all confused, once you realise you’ll be less lonely,
You’re not amused, now you realise you can’t control me.
At low tide, I’m on the hillside,
To witness this vision held beneath sun-lightened waters.
I’m the only one to witness this, some thing I just could not miss,
In this state of bliss.
So…
Let’s drink to the past and all the ghosts who live there (x2)
Let’s drink to the past, let’s drink to the past and all the ghosts who live there.
(Repeat x2)
