Time it has taken its toll on you
Jaded and bitter, you battle through
So much neglected, so little reflected
In the echoes you'll leave behind
Stumbling around so persistently
Soul-mates appear inconsistently
The more that you fall, the less they will call
The cliche of it all
And your defences they crumble
Shore them up again
Shore them up, shore them up
Patterns repeating so endlessly
Starting to question your sanity
The cosmos expands, but all their demands
Reduce you to nothingness
And your defences they crumble
Shore them up again
Shore them up, shore them up
When your defences they crumble
Shore them up again
With the few close to you
With the few close to you

Take your pure white dreams and
Add a sense of realism
Then watch all you take for granted
Fade away to dust
You're as fragile as the rest
Just as prone to make mistakes
But I know you won't
Because I know you'll never fall
Despite what you might think
You are earthbound
Just like everyone
Despite what you might think
You'll be earthbound
When it all goes wrong
Take your pastel shades and
Add a hint of cynicism
Then you'll see the world that most of us
Know very well
Life's not as perfect as you think
But who am I to put you right?
When you're the solar source
Within the system that you rule
Despite what you might think
You are earthbound
Just like everyone
Despite what you might think
You'll be earthbound
When it all goes wrong

Symbiotic (live on BGfm)

Are we symbiotic, sympathetic?
Am I the only one that gets it?
Is it all illusion, childish delusion?
To lighten the weight of this world
Are we lead and rhythm, flotsam and jetsam?
The answer to an unspoken question?
Are you yang to my yin?
Are you just past caring
We'll ever be more than we are now?
Don't say that it's so, don't say that it's so
Don't say that it's so - I can't let go
Are we symbiotic? Are you apathetic
To the possibility to progress this?
Am I fooling myself, to offer myself
In getting you through all life throws at you?
Are you yang to my yin?
Are you just past caring
We'll ever have more than we have now?
Don't say that it's so, don't say that it's so
Don't say that it's so - I can't let go
Don't say that it's so, don't say that it's so
Don't say that it's so - I can't let go
And I miss you so

Escape (live on BGfm)
03:43

Another Monday morning
Chips away the wall around your soul
Another slide into that state of helplessness will take its toll
Another million reasons to escape but not the means to how
Another nail knocked in your last goodbye
Leave this fickle world so far behind
Won't you ever find
The escape route out of here on a clear day
Where you don't have to steer clear
Of the fear that blocks your way
No other closeness quite like that which I will always have with you
Though sometimes I feel set adrift from this world
You will see me through
No other reason needed to fight the edge to let it go to hell
Than the sanity that carries me so effortlessly
So hard to fight it
This fear I'll never find it
The escape route out of here on a clear day
Where you don't have to steer clear
Of the fear that blocks your way
Wheels keep spinning round and round
Grinding you into the rock face
You're fossilised remains
Layers of letdown bury you without a trace
No other closeness quite like that which I will always have with you
Though sometimes I feel set adrift from this world
You will see me through
No other reason needed to fight the urge to let it all go to hell
Than the sanity that carries me so effortlessly
So hard to fight it
This fear I'll never find it
The escape route out of here on a clear day
Where you don't have to steer clear
Of the fear that blocks your way
The escape route out of here on a perfect day
Where you don't have to steer clear
Of the fools that block your way

When (live on BGfm)
04:26
|

|
Like a tidal wave on a tropical shore
It's getting the better of me
Like a dying star and the worlds it rules
Doomed to entropy
Like a stolen glance in a crowded room
Forgotten in the blink of an eye
I'm a boy again
Running away
But not understanding why
When the tensions start to fly
Oh - when will this search ever end?
Like the need for change that never comes
And the constants that remain
Like that Einstein quote, expecting more
Will only drive you insane
Oh - boredom gets the better of you
Oh - wish I had the strength to see you through
All the things you'd achieve
If you could simply leave
Oh - when will this search ever end?
Like gossamer wings starting a storm
A thousand miles away
Their selfishness is indirect
But you will escape some day
All the things you'll achieve
When you finally leave
Oh - when will this search ever end?
Oh - when will this search ever end?
When will this search ever
When will this search ever end?
