Lost At Sea
This life is more than just a set of numbers
This life is more than black and white
There's more to love than cards and kisses
And more to pain than these endless fights
This life is not enough for me
I tell you I need something more
I've been lost, yeah I've been lost at sea
Cause I just don't know what I'm looking for
Oh I am more than just a statistic
And you are more than just a passer by
Reality isn't always realistic
And fantasy is not always a lie
Lonely At The Top
Oh you say that I'm cliché
But let me tell you that's ok
Cause who exactly are you to talk
Democracy is always flawed
Put your suggestions to the board
And then conform or take a walk
I've heard it's lonely at the top
I wouldn't know I've never stopped
Long enough to see the view
Not always right but I get by
Cause I keep moving with the tide
Don't persecute me for the truth
And you go on everyday
You go on with your life
Like a thorn from my rose
Or a stab from your knife
Oh you're losing your mind
Got a castle to make
Why don't you spit out the rules
You've been forced to take?
It doesn't matter what we say
No-one listens anyway
You've got to scream it in their face
Then they lock you up and throw the key
Resurrect conformity
They put you back into your place
Cut Loose
Oh you're always on my back
Trying to tell me what to do with my life
Well I have had enough of that
Cause it's my choice and I'll do what the hell I like
So leave me alone with my confusion
And stop telling me what to do
I'm sorry if this spoils your illusion
But not everything is all about you
So why don't you...
Cut loose
Hold tight
And I will take you where you've never been
You know
I'm right
And I will show you how to live the dream
All night
And if
You like
Then I will take you back home again
Oh you're always on my back
Trying to tell me what to do and what to say
Well I have had enough of that
Cause it's my life and I'll live it my way
So loosen up and give it a rest
Stop bringing everything back to you
You always think that you know best
But let me tell you I could teach you a thing or two
Close But No Cigar
On the long and dusty road
When I got tired of living
In a world of pointless fights
I felt so lost and alone
That I was almost giving
Up on anything going right
Oh so close but no cigar
And now we're falling far too far
I can barely stand up straight
Hope had one foot in the door
Slammed into your face once more
And no I don't believe in fate
They say that road is tough and well
I can almost believe it
But I ain't heard much more than tales
Like lose your faith and go to hell
And if you try to retrieve it
End up on a ship that never sails
Overload
You take your lies and slide them down our throats
Why don't you let us breathe before we overload?
You're telling us things that we don't want to know
We try to walk away but you won't let us go, oh
You'd better watch your back cause you're under attack
You stole our souls now we're taking them back
One by one you try to drag us down
Enticing us in with your media clowns
But what if nobody knew
And nobody cared
And there was nobody secretly stopping to stare, yeah
Oh I think that you should know
That I am not quite
Ready to let this go
You've made a million of has beens
You chew up these peoples dreams
And spit them out again but I won't
Oh you'd swap blood for money any day
And all the time we think that there must be a better way
You take your lies and slide them down our throats
Why don't you let us breathe before we overload?
Always a little too late or a little too soon
You try to make us listen but you're so out of tune
You try to make us see, try to make us believe
But I got my own mind and my mind is free
Intravenous drip, on a perpetual trip
You feed us then eat us and never let slip
Cause this is the way, the way you play your game
You prey on the weak, offer money and fame
Slow Song
Life's lost its intensity
Like a fallen tree
I've been robbed of love
Thought this would be easy to break
This
is lust, this is fake
But I guess that it's not
And now it hurts even more
Feels like I am at war
With myself
And I know that I have to choose
Oh
but do I choose you
Over everything else?
You're there like a spectre around me
I should block you out
Yes I know
I try and I try to ignore you
But I
still adore you
And I just can't let go
Nowhere for me to go
Oh I've been lost inside
Nowhere for me to run
And nowhere left to hide
Woke up
this morning and wished I had not
Tell me how do I choose between you and what I've already got?
Nothing can
stop this now
I'm falling further everyday
No one can save me now
It seems like almost everyday
I try to walk away
But I can't leave
Turn and around and you're in my view
All
that I want is you
Wish you were all that I needed
Wake Up (It's A Mind Set)
It's a long way off
This ruined time stands in a line
Waiting for the next stop
To get off
Of my mind
And I don't know why.
It's a long way back
I had a heart but then it broke
Please forgive me while I choke
This back
And sit on my hands
You've got to understand
This poison fills me and I cry...
It's a mind set
One thing always leads to another
Like a TV pet
On the front page with a cigarette
All out to get
What they can, what they can take
You stone me yet
I do not WAKE
UP
WAKE UP
Come and see what I've found
I'm running away, I'm running away
From this battle ground
We're dying out loud...
And what've you got to be proud of
As you fill me up with poison till I....
WAKE UP it's a mind set
WAKE UP it's a mind set
