One Down

There are a few left
I can survive this
Push on, perservere
Self control, that's the key
How many weeks in a year?
One less, that's all I know

Strum

Little tune for me
Lullaby for her
Lilt away his fear
Lies play in my ear

Going Home

Am I really?
Or have I found
My place to stay
Where I'm loved
Maybe
They won't miss me
Anywhere I'm not

In The Rye

If you were in a field
By a cliff, in this field
And there was no one
But me around, with you
I'd stay by the edge
To catch you if you slipped
If a body catch a body
Comin' through the rye
Damn pretty tune.

Lyrical Confusion

I'm begging you
I'm begging you
I'm begging you
To be my mistake

Wait, that's wrong
It should be
Escape

So why do I not
Want to correct
This incorrection?

Sounds nicer, it does
Makes me feel
Like I have
Something
Special

Infatuation

Try do this for me
Move a little to the right
Up just a bit, a bit more
There, now I can see
I'm stuck in a plight
Because it's you I adore

Corny little word, it is
It sounds nice but
When said just so
Now I'm not sure if
I want to escape this rut
Should I stay, should I go?

[Can I?]

Signals

V1.
There's a story of a lighthouse
It stands on that quiet shore
Waiting for the sign from a ship

A ship that sails 'round and 'round
Looking for direction sure
To find the lighthouse in darkness thick

Bridge.
Keep searching, waiting, watching
Soon the anchor'll fall
The beach is waiting, so is the tide
To hear your radio call

V2.
The ship slowly drifted in the bay
Some bay, it's fallen half away
Probably because no ship'll ever stay

Tied down to the dock so frail
Hopefully it won't set sail
To somewhere unreachable by mail

Bridge.
Keep searching, waiting, watching
Soon the anchor'll rise
The beach is waiting, so am I
To see you float away upon the tide

Chorus.
Here it comes now, just another wave
Pulling us further from our lives
On this ship, there's someone you can't save
Better hope this ship never dives
Dives below, deep down below
The dark blue waits, just like a lighthouse
All it wants is the signal to show
Just, like, that lighthouse

Bridge 2.
We're gonna go crashing waves
Split the sea dead in half
Make the sunrise appear in the depths
And hope at the same time
The lighthouse can see us
'Cause we just might go too deep
Too far under to be heard

Chorus.
Here it comes now, just another wave
Pulling us further from our lives
On this ship, there's someone you can't save
Better hope this ship will survive
Survive the below, deep down below
The dark blue waits, just like a lighthouse
All it wants is the signal to show
Just, like, that lighthouse

Letter To The Editor

Dear sir, allow me to say
That your column offended me today
Such poor taste in words, short and long
Burning my eyes with your views oh so wrong
Hire a teacher for your woeful attempts
Or maybe just quit, that would be heaven sent
Cruel it may sound, but true to the core
You're making my reading the papers a bore

All I Want

That feeling you get
When you're a part
Of something so good

Inside, it's what I crave
So please hear me?

Could I join the game
Or is it already full?
More people aren't welcome
Perhaps next time I may
Again my company is all I have
Not much, I know, but it'll do
Yet I still just want to be included

[Three's a crowd. What's four?]

God Cries

See the rain
It's the tears
Shed for me
Falling for you
Hear the thunder
It's the voice
Calling for me
Soothing the hurt
Feel the lightning
Uh-oh

Darker Than Black

Best leave the light off
Let the shadows scream
As we sit or lie here
Clasping hands now
Killing hours till dawn

Last words not enough
In this quiet scene
Give me reason clear
Heavy-eyed now
Till the early morn

Can you
Only you
Never let
Vision set
Even when
Reality then
Steals away
All our days
Talk to me
In here
Only here
Not there
Say it now

[Shush]

Track Twenty-Nine

If you came from China and you wanted to go on a holiday to a really exotic and different place, you wouldn't exactly go to Beijing or Shanghai would you? Not for a holiday, surely. Perhaps Hawaii! Yeah, Hawaii sounds good, it's a CHANGE, something that's completely DIFFERENT, am I right?

Welcome to the Window. I'm here in another country, where I was hopeful to escape a lifestyle that I would face upon returning home. On the contrary, life is just about as uneventful, unentertaining, and depressing... especially in the areas where I needed the change. I'm not saying life at home sucks, but I'm not saying it's fantastic either. I'm saying that I needed the change, like a medication if you will, but it never came. Back home, it gets pretty lonely, and here? Well, at the worst of times I may as well have stayed back home.

There are a few things which provide a slight upside though. I'm treated with a little more maturity, so I feel a little more my age instead of a mummy's boy (the irony's killing me). Cheap shopping is the other plus, except it's a tad expensive when you have no money left.

The final positive aspect? Well, I'll leave that for you to figure out. It'll be really blatantly obvious, so smile =]

Take it easy everyone.

Diary of a deluded
Naiive, negligent no-hope
Asshole for short

Four Letter Word

Laughing at you
Yes you, you poor fool
What did you say to me?
Using that explosive word?
You're a funny one, you are
Naughty language, shame!
Haha, I'll tell your mother
She'll kick your ass

My my, aren't we all so mature.

Falling Upward

This bright night, I fell awake
And saw the stars in the clear blue sky
Kept my eyes closed open, sleep fake
Enterd me into immortality to die

Move over, sun, my moon is late
Yesterday you stole his fate

See, rhyming is easy as pie
Let your mind and heart collide
Even if you lose your sanity
Establish what counts, your vanity!
Prove to me that I need sleep, go on.

[Delirium is bloody bliss.]

A Few Days Too Many

Sometimes you really want to question
Who exactly it is, you want to call your friend
Sometimes, when you disappear for a while
Who comes looking for you, those you treasure?
Sometimes it's those you least expect to miss you
Who are the ones to bother calling your number
Sometimes these events cause you to really think
Who ou want around you when you're in need
Never will you hear your "friend's" confessions
You can beg all you want, they'll remain shut till you end
Never think they'll talk, just know their lie
You should be able to recognise their error
Never rgret your decisions, both false and true
You will, one day, but don't let it get you under
Never was when you thought you might sink
You be careful, the day's coming when for help you'll plead

Two Plus Two

Fool of the world
Only you'll know
Underneath this sky
Rest comes to none

Kleptomanic Depression

Shouldn't this give me the kick
It usually does, or is it not worth it?
Maybe it needs to be bigger, better
Anything, I'm just desperate to nick
A little something here, a small trinket
Just something to give along with this letter
My prescription for help, a desperation
Only a shrink can help cure, believe me
They'll get into my mind, tell me what's wrong
Perhaps provide me with some revelation
Help me know the depth of my deeds
And maybe, just for the laughs...
I'll write my story into a song.

[Hahaha. That kills me, it really does.]

Criss Cross

Ex marks the spot
Ex marks your skin
Ex marks my lips
