Go Figure
Lately my minds a muddle
Don’t say you need a cuddle
I’m tired of looking for other ways out of this
Call me a protest singer
Find me a pigeon hole
I sick of watching all my friends lose hope to rock and roll.
I’m sick of scrolling screens
I’m sick of broken hearts
Tired of opinion pieces, tired of looking at the past
Where’s the promised land? Where’s the long term plan
There must be more to life than wealth I hope you understand
Maybe its rational
Embrace the capital
It’s just the world that we live
Maybe I should find, more fucks to give
Am I a lost cause?
I just need more
Time to figure it out
When did all my hopes turn in to doubts?
Go Figure it out.
I walk down to the beach
When everything gets heavy
Finding a place to escape feels rather necessary
I don’t mind it here, but I don’t love it too
But I’m ok with that It helps me to unwind my blues
Stress is a disease, it’s eating all us up
We’re all worrying that maybe we are not enough
You tell me that I am
and that’s what gets me through
I’m still sad but thats ok as long as I have you
Maybe its rational
Embrace the capital
It’s just the world that we live
Maybe I should find, more fucks to give
Am I a lost cause?
I just need more
Time to figure it out
When did all my hopes turn in to doubts?
Go Figure it out.
Some Regrets
Take deep breaths
Take your time
It’s hard to find the room to make some piece of mind.
Always on
Maybe that’s whats wrong?
Forever hoping for a magic wand.
I know I’m not alone in thinking
How the hell did I get here?!
For better or for worse, staying clear.
Some regrets
Is our time much better spent?
It’s an omen
Are we broken?
Take deep breaths
Pay no mind
It’s hard enough to settle at the best of times
Sometimes wrong
That’s what makes you strong
Rounding off the corners as you roll along
I know I’m not alone in hoping to get better every day
To “Come Alive Again”
Bring the light
Let it burn in me so bright
That the darkness
Is a past tense
I don’t want to get old
and be counting all the things that I’ve lost
Without any comprehension of how my own endeavours
Played a part in all the chances I’ve scoffed.
I’m tired of living in fear
I’m tired of not making it clear
Tired of hesitations
Tired of reservations
and hearing what I wanted to hear.
But maybe when I get to 60
I’ll be thankful for this time.
Free my mind.
Bring the light
Let it burn in me so bright
That the darkness
Is a past tense
Ebb
Forget everything your learned
And follow your feet
Stray from the herd
If that’s what you need
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Feed no ego
Fuel no blame
Every day’s a new day
To turn your back on old ways
If this is an hour glass
Let’s make this moment last
Ebbing away, every day
Make your mark
Follow your heart
As much as you can
Stray from the herd
But not from your plans
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Feed no ego
Fuel no blame
Every day’s a new day
To turn your back on old ways
If this is an hour glass
Let’s make this moment last
Ebbing away, every day
Make your mark
Forget all the times you’ve hurt
And know that you’re loved
Stay with the herd
When light turns to dusk
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Feed no ego
Fuel no blame
Every day’s a new day
To turn your back on old ways
If this is an hour glass
Let’s make this moment last
Ebbing away, every day
Make your mark
40
Everywhere you’re looking there’s children skipping school
Maybe they’re just products of their parents
Ignore them at your peril
Don’t take them all as fools
One day they’ll grow up and you’ll regret it
Maybe in the future a scientist survives
And builds an ark for everyone
It’s your only place to hide
All the other options
Bring us to our knees
It’s 40 days and 40 nights
For 40 years and 40 generations wide
Everywhere you’re looking there’s children skipping class
Property has poisoned everyone of us
Storing up your treasures, on someone else’s debt
One day you’ll grow up and you’ll regret it
Somewhere in the future a bubbles gonna burst
and all your shrewd investments they will crumble into dirt
All the other options
Bring us to our knees
It’s 40 days and 40 nights
For 40 years and 40 generations wide
Listen to the youngers
and what they have to say
Most of them are old enough to know our rotten ways.
All the other options? Blind stupidity
and 40 days and 40 nights
For 40 years and 40 generations wide
Hold Tight
I’m a day dreamer
I’m a blind believer
Looking for a reason why
Trying to put back all the pieces
That make up my frazzled mind
I’m a lapse rebel
Testing my own metal
Looking round for things to do
At my age I find it harder but
This horse ain’t made for glue
It’s a familiar story
Only it’s a different time
Keep faith in redemption
Or whatever gets you by
When you lose faith in it all
Hold a little tighter
Having doubts
Is just figuring it out
Better start running
Oblivion is coming
Maybe in a little while…
Spend your whole life round in circles
Wondering a reason why
You can be forgiven
You can start living
All you have to do is try
Rip your old life into pieces
and don’t think about it twice
It’s a familiar story
Only it’s a different time
Keep faith in redemption
Or whatever gets you by
When you lose faith in it all
Hold a little tighter
Having doubts
Is just figuring it out
Rewild
It don’t feel natural to me.
Does it feel natural to you?
Heavy air that I breathe
Heavy skies that I view
I see the birds way up high
Getting confused by the light
From artificial sun
Blurring day and night
Rarely does a day go by
Where I’m not reminded of lost times
It don’t feel easy to me
Does it feel simple to you?
Circuit update
Function renew
I just can’t keep up with the pace
But staying away doesn’t feel
Like being a part of life
I see no appeal.
Rarely does a day go by
Where I’m not reminded of lost times
Obfuscate me
Evaporate me
I’ve been thinking lately
That disappearing ain’t the way
Fertilise
Re wild me
Remind me
That there is beauty in this place
Rarely does a day go by
Where I’m not reminded of lost times
