Accidentally Blown

(MUSIC VIDEO OFFLINE) I'm an emotional man I've had the most of my lifespan I tried not to hide Inside a book on a nightstand As soon as I say I've got my hands on my reins I'm running wild again It's gonna drive me insane I worry a lot My eyes are all bloodshot Trained on a lane With calamity so fraught The light at the end Has got to fight its way in Before I go for a spin Or even know to begin I'm crying out loud When I'd be better off silent I think I'm allowed to All alone on an island There's always the chance That the plea will be heeded By a ship in my zone Accidentally blown I need a new goal To hold me together Defences against The threat of inclement weather It could be a while Before the fog will have lifted Far enough to determine How far I have drifted It is not for me To pass any sentence The people are free To act in their own best interests And if they decide To take it out on the hide Of the one who would play them I would not delay them But I in my fear And I in my blindness Could well have caused bloodshed From a motive of kindness I cannot return To the time of my erring Make a different choice For a pummeled fool's sparing I'm crying out loud When I'd be better off silent I think I'm allowed to All alone on an island There's always the chance That the plea will be heeded By a ship in my zone Accidentally blown

Aggression-Depression

See the people running back and forth Never see how much a day is worth When the one in front lands on the ground Jams the traffic back all over town Carry me high, harry me low Hit me where the sun don't show Answer me why, talk to me slow Act as if I did not know Got their priorities in such a bind I'm a minority, the aimless kind Got my reality upended right My personality all fenced in tight Harry me high, carry me low Hit me where the sun don't show Answer me why, talk to me slow Tell me where my love should go (Murmured melancholy...) If the things that I wanted Are what you'd expect It'll take a good while to catch onto it No one will tell me yet Sometimes I wish they would have murdered me instead Better than living in this condition (More murmured melancholy...) If I knew I was giving The best that I had I could have been proud for a minute It would have made me glad Turns out that looking back is only looking bad Less than a respite from this depression

All My Money

What did you do with all my money? I'm sick and tired of being hungry Whatever made you think it's so damn funny? How long did you intend to keep it from me? Do you keep it in case I might like to spend A little to pay back my overdue friend? Do you think it's a waste to have something nice Instead of the breadcrumbs to share with the mice? She's as adorable as a bunny And unapproachable as she shuns me Expect me to let you see the side that's sunny Sitting there so carefree with all my money Are you waiting for me with my neck in a rope A fit of frustration while crushing my hope? And say it was saved to pay for my grave A tombstone that boasts 'he gave and he gave'? Do you keep it in case I might like to spend A little to pay back my overdue friend? Do you think it's a waste to have something nice? I ask for it once, I scream for it twice

Apostrophe Unneeded

No miss in eyeing the signpost ahead No use denying the way that I tread The road drawing near would be made out of gold The load would appear to be painlessly towed Go down, land with a frown All in playing to win again Soon comes a way through the wall New day waving me over Make my circle complete With an end worth repeating And try to remember where the trouble spots lie The wind may be flagging in days up ahead No sense to be dragging a mantle of lead No manifold reason to pick up my heel No standing still freezing, a good enough deal Disastrously shameless Presumptuously blameless A masterpiece created Catastrophe awaited I'm back on my pedestal, I'm finding my mark I'm doing my best not to glow in the dark To stay unconnected a labour for sure The way I'm directed into taking this tour Soon I'm out of my bind Sunshine calling me over Make my circle complete With the end worth repeating Great line, live for today All in trying to win again Soon climb over the wall Sunshine hauling me over

Arise

Saw you there on the stair Favourite place for meeting Saw you more passing my door Though the glimpse was fleeting It might look like a forgettable life Children's games are better than nothing I don't expect a prize I'll get When I never did one thing Left the telephone ringing It's a mistake that he made But he probably didn't mean it And now he won't be afraid He found nothing to contravene it Keeping the lights out Waiting the nights out Glad you had to Put the mishap behind you Change mind all the time Still trying to help me find you No friend days on end Made them interesting Stood by acting shy Kept the faithful guessing You're wrong to think I'm happy this way But I know what I'd be missing You have to let me have the freedom to play If you want to see something See you down in the town See them flutter all around you New day on the way Destiny already found you Glad you had to Put the mishap behind you Change mind all the time Still trying to help me find you

Assault

Sometimes I need reminding Why I am holding out Then as soon as I see you I just have to believe you Cannot see past this grave uncertainty How will I find the end? Will it even be worth it to me? I always start to wonder When I'm away too long As I fight to gain headway Got to get through the next day There's a way to remove all room for doubt Let me loom at large til the last one has been driven out You know just how to keep me distracted There with charades transparently acted Sauntering down a flowery lane Nothing to say, having a grand day I know where I am going I hope you will be there Not a thing will be lacking And forget about packing Short of breath, no rest chasing a runaway Cannot pull ahead when they're taking your fun away Kill the lights, perfect night for a holiday Cling to me tightly, wouldn't want you to fall away

Babydoll

Babydoll lying alone in her room Safe from all that wanted to burst her balloon Filling in the void of parental discretion Sea shells, magic gnomes Wishing wells and ice cream cones Little princess sits at the top of the stairs As an angel brushes her wild brown hair In a world where wants do not need to be mentioned She plays gracefully She stays and is free Along the direction of mother's worst fear Abiding reflections of portable mirror A rapid transition in passing of time To dazzling woman in blossoming prime Now they look her way Now they want to play Where they once made fun Now she has them on Her beauty has power to give or enslave Her eyes on the outer, her own heart to save Prizes lie scattered all over her floor Tokens of fondness and trophies of war Now they think her way Now she makes them pay Where they once had fun Now she makes them run Now they look her way Now they want to play Where they once made fun Now she has them on

Bird of Prey

Tuesday sat through the evening Wednesday went by dreaming One day left to the looming Doomsday, I'm assuming Better not be near me When you see me in my bird of prey You'll be disappointed Better off to fear me When I come diving down your way With my rockets pointed Over in the horizon In for big surprises No crime when they were warned once Too much disobedience Better not be near me When you see me in my bird of prey I will make you sorry For nothing but ashes Will be left at the end of the day Of my blaze of glory Better not be near me When you see me in my bird of prey You'll be disappointed Better off to fear me When I come diving down your way With my rockets pointed

Blazon

Daylight stream in All right, nothing to dream in Getting down on me for lying around Looking down on me from high on a cloud This time start anew All you think you can't do I liked you more when you were wishing me well You made a move and put me under your spell Standing able I see my way to the stage so I don't hit the table Feeling out of place Cannot find the right face I let you know I'm only playing a role I let you see that I can stay in control Living in an instant First sight might have missed it The world is empty since I went from your side Why can't we get where we have nothing to hide? Holding stable You don't have to call If you send me a cable Thinking just undermines the playful And you will do what you want Cause you don't need my say-so Want it all after you wore out your toy And there in your hamper you thought it would stay And now all you say is that is what happens And how it would pay if I leave the door open In by sundown Let the walls all come down I found out how to keep my thoughts in a line Your best maneuvering could not undermine All out on display No doubt, see the same way I can only think of one thing to do I can only hope it's happy for you Less than truthful But it lets me believe I can make myself useful I'm willing to appear more youthful As long as you promise My room won't get too full

Bonkers

On a rung, everyone's favourite fun Even if they don't belong there Sun and moon gone in a burst balloon Greedily we would consume them What can be by acting deranged gained? Broken wall, pillow all tear stained No withdrawal from fantasies conquered Hear the plea, no time to saunter With a look push him on a hook Try him out in cloudy water Buttons pressed, head bereft of rest See if his temper will get hotter Had a thought, conveniently forgot where Left his fingers grasping for thin air Captured by an apparition conjured Cast aside, left to go bonkers

Brown Lullaby

Bring back the dried leaves of Autumn Now that the branches are bare Make the way home in the vanishing sun Blissfully free of all need and all care If any, not room for many Doesn't take long to decide Who would make do with a sepia hue Chasing a phantom, missing a ride Move slow, hauling a full load Hardly a moment to spare Dares you to travel in tallest of shadows For a reward which remains to be shared You let her urge you to new fascinations Sparkling eyes and the flow of her hair Waiting to find nothing special Maybe too sentimental

Business

What you shout when you show no tact All about how you do not know your fact Spare me your psychology A poor excuse is all it could be You think I might be too low-key Don't need to follow your lead Wish you wouldn't have told me that It's too late if you want to take it back Spare me from this imagery Can't breathe when I picture the scene Lay it on till I'm climbing a tree Half gone and I'm still not free Want me to be little Here among the people Pass by and shake their heads Hate why I'm still among them Then change to the funny page Needing something to subdue them Left without an ember Of what I remember All gone to pay for your meal As I completed circles Grasping for a drop of the sun Hands battered from the workload Now you think you can make a deal How can you live in a world that's so unreal? Made off with my joy and pride Then laughed at the tear that I cried Held onto what you thought you could hide No conscience to act as your guide Spare me your philosophy I don't dream so impossibly You just need to get me down on one knee Just leaving me out in the street

Busybody

You made me promise to be with you Took it back when you said we were through Gave me something for throwing in An old recliner with a hidden pin Must be some Miss Busybody Lets you know when the work is shoddy You loved me when I spoke to you Made sure my heart was broke in two Tortured me for months on end Behind my back with your little friend Must be done Miss Busybody She's the centre of the party I never thought the same as you I can't act and dress like you think I should do And even if I tried to comply You'd find something wrong with how I cry Must be done Miss Busybody Having fun to make me sorry Must be one Miss Busybody Better off to laugh than worry

Candy Hearts

Say that Heaven is a place for All good children What makes you think that you are there? Could have gone up the wrong flight of stairs No regret that you left me alone Not invited to my party Played my song with the kitchen light on As my surroundings grew untidy Getting even never did I Once believe in Give the people freedom to err Let them know if I think they're unfair Can't give if I'm taking a side Aim wide for laughs aplenty Many more in my personal store You don't have to leave me any Can't imagine what you had in your mind When I looked it came up empty Candy hearts pulled us further apart And a past that's so unsteady You're pursuing nothing short of Your undoing The only way to make things right Let them vanish in the dark of night Shouldn't cry about a well that ran dry Maybe the bucket was too heavy You can win on support from within Seven halflings at the ready Couldn't see what you shrouded from me When I looked it came out hazy Lemon tarts had you falling apart Though at the time you thought me crazy

Careful

(MUSIC VIDEO OFFLINE) Playful Grateful in his innocent demeanour Made whole Emptied out and taken for a goner A passenger prone to a path that's unknown Put through the paces And shivering in the blustering wind and the rain Lessons Depress him and leave him none the wiser Addressed All in jest to the destitute reviser Poised to cry out in a voice low and lame Without his good name And dazed by demands no one could withstand Too old to need you for a humbling reminder Too down for any look around without blinders Let's test his resistance and shun him in shame Provoke the desires that find him so tame Never a word he said were we fed to grow Peaceful enough To make a show of his dishonour Graceful And ever so determined not to falter The laughter of women takes a haughtier ring Held back from spitting Pride so defied, the further down that he may fall Laid low the beautiful lose all their colour Too down for any look around without blinders Let's test his resistance and shun him in shame Loose the desires that find him so tame Careful the end he met never lets him go Too old to need you for a humbling reminder Too down for any look around without blinders Let's test his resistance and shun him in shame Loose the desires that find him so tame Never a word he said were we fed to grow Careful the end he met never lets him go

Casual

Boundaries staying tactfully drawn Have to keep paying to find out what side I'm on Casual setup, free to recline Last one to catch up, fastest one to fall behind Feel no romance if you hit me with a glance Rendered too tender to surrender to the hand of chance Space that you waste in your solitary world Content to while as you miss me by a country mile Innocent put on, mischievous charm Nothing was put out to bring the man to any harm Distant the chatter smacking of love It doesn't matter, the sap that you must prattle of Bend to amends when they're only in your head The story more than what your friend read out to you instead Room you consume on delusions meant for two Is soon demanding that there's no one standing next to you Sorrowful remedy, live for today Tomorrow a tragedy, yesterday all took away Invade my disorder, alter my course Send me wherever they shrivel from the use of force Boundaries staying tactfully drawn Have to keep paying to find out what side I'm on Casual setup, free to recline Last one to catch up, fastest one to fall behind

Chair

Missteps and precepts silently lain Fall in a trap and you can't make it happen Trying to see if my hands would stay clean Caught in a state of appetitive napping Who knows what they'd do, afraid you see through? Alter the signpost, offer the blindfold Marchers parade you, necks strain to view Safe for a scene in the sweetest amnesia Emptier handed the trader must stray Rates of the hour would soon have abated Strangely succeeded by a journeyman lost Stuck in his heyday, losing already Who knows what they'd do, afraid you see through? Alter the signpost, offer the blindfold Marchers parade you, necks strain to view Safe for a scene in the sweetest amnesia Who knows what I'd do divided in two? Hope for the side that gave life the least reason Wander along my oblivion See what it means in the sweetest amnesia Facing traces unsure End up outside of me Washed up decidedly Leaving reasons no fewer No more relationship Don't make a case of it Taken aback by a look Struggle to hold my place Show them my bravest face My society guiding me Back to my chair Here in my nowhere

Cheer

(The vocal strays from the lead guitar in the middle part.) When the day's headlines have spelling mistakes And giving a smile is all that it takes Bees on vacation with nothing to do Traffic lights changing from purple to blue Only one could make the stars you're shunning Look that stunning Hear the sound of her guitar's sweet strumming Cheer is coming When the result of a trembling quake Stems the tumult of a rambling lake When a tornado catches a plane Steering it clear of a mountaintop crane Don't be so alarmed at the harm she's pausing Charm she's causing Anywhere the children may be playing Cheer is staying I'll walk down the road with my head hanging low I'll sit down alone and cry I'll spend all my time at the back of the line And let my mind run awry Eventually when she finds me again She'll rescue me from my despair With one more tale designed to regale And remind me that I'm in her care I couldn't ask for a sunnier friend Holding my hand as we head round the bend I could depart from this world any time Now that I'm sure there's a place more sublime Finally to know the love I'm tracking And been lacking Ask her whether I should soon be packing Cheer is laughing

Class

You've been living with your head to ground Don't want to look up, see how small you are You've been talking without making a sound Too afraid they're gonna say you went too far Such successes, wouldn't have guessed they'd be so mediocre Could be right to keep your dreams black-and-white Cause if they ever are colour they soon will be over He thinks that I should be exactly like him Wants to see my future closing in And my designs go from spectacular to dim As I submit to someone else's whim I'm so glad I'm not with the kind of a woman Who makes her husband pay for all her mistakes And takes her fears out on her innocent children Hate to think that I've been wasting my time Can't convince you with all I have inside Never would pretend the whole world was mine Doesn't leave me any place to hide She's been busy cooking up the worst part of my adventure Telling them everything that she can And letting them scream what remains to be mentioned Such successes, wouldn't have guessed they'd be so lacklustre Aiming for the shiniest star But a second hand car was the most you could muster

Clouds

I can't make the weight of the world much lighter But there's another place where the sun may shine a bit brighter Up in clouds, soaring free Riding the winds of discovery Take my hand, set your mind And we'll make the perfect getaway For up in the clouds is where you're going today I've got nothing against how you might be standing Don't you ever want to see the horizon expanding? Up in clouds, you and me Stretching out over infinity A little persuasion is all you need And it's happy landings all the way For high in the sky is where we're gonna stay Up in clouds it's harder to see It may play tricks with your memory But there's still nowhere I'd rather be And it's just a carpet ride away And next stop the far side of the Milky Way

Comfort

(MUSIC VIDEO OFFLINE) Comfort sits on a cloud With no one around to tell on She sees through her taker's shroud She knows the hard ground he fell on Comfort can lift her wand And wave away all your sorrow There is no prize too fond Or any demise too thorough Sees the heat is bending me Sees the need for mending me Flees not from defending me Pleas not for suspending me Comfort can sing a song A melody sweet and simple Invite you sing along And chase away all your trouble Sees the heat is bending me Sees the need for mending me Pleas not for suspending me Flees not from defending me There to care To take on despair no one wanted Straight of face To stand in the place of the daunted Comfort sits on a cloud Her friend's on a different mission She says her prayers out loud And hopes that this time I'll listen Sees the heat is bending me Sees the need for mending me Pleas not for suspending me Flees not from defending me

Conscience

(MUSIC VIDEO OFFLINE) Last call seems like a shortfall So much more shouting to do Once red this town's been painted Reach up and paint the sky blue And I never meant to rain on the party But I didn't believe what I already knew Cause a little bird told me a line that just sold me And it turns out her story has all but come true She said gold pays for gold But conscience pays for glory What fun, it's been a good run Better than ever before I went to every event where Even the losers can score And I wouldn't erase the smiles from the faces Not for all the rewards of the Earth But I can't help recalling the voice that came calling That I might know what such smiles are worth Singing gold pays for gold But conscience pays for glory Someone in the cold And no one feeling sorry
