For the time being
In a world of bees, I was stung by the butterfly
I’m hiding out like a cloud on the stariest night
But I’m on the verge of a chance that is going to turn
My whole world around
I can’t deny I’ve thought about delivery. . .
A stolen briefcase hidden under cover of night
I’ll chuck it far off the bridge, cause it’s gonna let
My whole world down
Had my eyes to the ground, doubting all that I see
Hung my head in the clouds so they’ll never find me
Been burning the pages of all that I read
Cause I see through the words and they’ll never fool me
The vultures are circling and waiting to feed
I’ve a wound for the hounds but they’ll never catch me
They’ve got me surrounded for the time being
But I’ll break through the walls and they’ll never find me
It’s no concern of mine to figure how to do it right
with all the stations blurting hype and closing doors in the night
But I’m on the verge of a chance that is going to turn
My whole world down
Had my eyes to the ground doubting all that I see
Hung my head in the clouds so they’ll never find me
Been hiding a joker right up my sleeve
Now they’re raising the bar but they’ll never fool me
They’ve been haunting my dreams every moment I sleep
But I wake with a hope so they’ll never scare me
They’ve got me surrounded for the time being
But I’ll break through the walls and they’ll never find me

Hallowed Ground
She wrote a letter home, to let them know that she was safe and warm
A token gesture for the ones she loves, from whom she fears nothing at all
Just one small page. After the greeting she found nought to say
All the dreams she'd had and all she'd seen came out as nothing at all
But how far she'd come
In her heart of hearts the seeds she'd sown
Bloomed to moments when it all made sense to her alone
We've all learnt secrets from the hallowed ground
But dare to speak them and you'll make no sound
It's just like catching fire, or turning pages you just can't read out
He searched for words all day
Felt like seasons it had been that way
Though he cared and played with all his being, he could sing nothing at all
Just a few short lines would bring a peace that only few could find
But all the dreams he'd had and all he'd seen came out as nothing at all
But how far he'd come
In his heart of hearts the seeds he'd sown
Bloomed to moments when it all made sense to him alone
We've all learnt secrets from the hallowed ground
But dare to speak them and you'll make no sound
It's just like catching fire, or turning pages you just can't read out
But how far we've come
In our heart of hearts the seeds we've sown
Bloomed to moments when it all makes sense
No words would let those secrets tell
No denying just how far you've come
In your heart of hearts the seeds you've sown
Bloom to moments when it all makes sense to you alone. . . alone
We've all learnt secrets from the hallowed ground
We've all learnt secrets from the hallowed ground
We've all learnt secrets from the hallowed ground
It's just like catching fire, or turning pages you just can't read
We've all learnt secrets from the hallowed ground
But dare to speak them and you'll make no sound
It's just like catching fire
Like a bird on the wire
A dance with desire
Your faith on trial
Oh me oh my, cruel fates design
It's just like catching fire, or turning pages you just can't read

Burnt to a seed
I can’t remember the life I was living before
I forgot what it was I was heading toward
Have I found something new, or what I was searching for?
It’s washed out in love
I’m washed out in love
Unfamiliar are things that I keep in my store
And there’s none of it seems of much use anymore
Sure there’s things I will lose, but who’s keeping score?
They’re washed out in love
I’m washed out in love
There’s a line in my head like a knife to the heart
As it rolls off the tongue it’s holding me together
And at once tearing me apart
Like a sail in the wind pulling out from the shore
Of a country I’m leaving, and know that I will see again
But for now there’s more in store. . .
Oh there must’ve been love i was feeling before
But it’s burnt to a seed just to flower once more
This time with a splendour that’s just got me floored
I’m washed out in love
Washed out in love

Danger
Now I've put this off for too long
Never wanted my words to hit the wrong mark, as a political song
Cause I wouldn't waste my breath singing to the cats on high
A Change is coming from below from the many voices of you and I
We won't see eye to eye on the finer points of most things
But I'm tired of hiding out and shutting out what's not about me
Cause it's all about us, and that's the problem can't you see?
The block is just a drug to keep you fat and f*%#ed in the back seat
Where is our mind, to tell us what to do about it?
Where is our mind. Somebody tell us everything and everything
We're in a little bit of danger
I've got along with nearly everyone I've met in this short ride
But thinking out upon the masses I get sick to the inside
What a bunch of apathetic racist cowards we must look
just playing along this little game with the fools who are writing this rule book
Is it time to put some questions to the man of that ilk?
Pimpin the land while the farmer's losing money for milk
Giving jobs to drones, schools to the rich, and we believe it
When they tell us nothing's wrong and we sit down in the back seat
Where is our mind, to tell us what to do about it?
Where is our mind. Somebody tell us everything and everything
We're in a little bit of danger
If you ever take a stand, now would be the time
Wanna make a sacrifice, now' be the time
Wanna make your mumma proud, now would be the time
If you've ever got the time, now' be the time
Where is our mind?

1963
I traced you back to 1963
I traced you back to 1963
It was there I first remember
How you were moving me
I traced you back to 1963
Now I don’t even care what year it is, without you
I don’t even know what day it is, without you
And I don’t even care what song this is, without you
Without you
I traced you back to the fire in the park
I traced you back to the fire in the park
But the flames were burning brighter
And hotter in our hearts
I traced you back to fire in the park
Now I don’t even care what day it is, without you
And I don’t even know what song this is, without you
I don’t even care what year it is, without you
Without you
I traced you back to the day I pulled the gun
I traced you back to the day I pulled the gun
I may never know what happened
All I’ve done since then is run
Oh I traced you back to the day I pulled the gun
I don’t even care what song this is, without you
I don’t even know what year it is, without you
I don’t even care what day it is, without you
Without you
Oh I traced you back to 1963
It’s there I lost your trail. . .

B Luck
Blessed luck won’t come to me
If what I feel I deserve is more than what I’ve got
Or what I’d give back again
If what I need is just wanting more
So I steer clear of those greedy demons
I’ll not rely on chasing hordes
I’ll just hit life with an open heart again
And keep an eye out for what I’m searching for
Don’t believe it for a sec
That what you give won’t give you nothing back
Don’t undo it for yourself
Don’t take it all and give back nothing
Just put it out there
Get a firm idea of what your heart be asking for
And keep it real
Don’t let no-one suffer for it
And you might see your just reward
Don’t believe it for a sec
That what you give won’t give you nothing back
Don’t undo it for yourself
Don’t take it all and give back nothing
But the scripts will change, you can bet on it
But don’t lose heart
Getting down won’t help you right the score
And don’t play King, for the invasion will come
And you’ll be tossed from the throne
And you will realise that it’s just love and fate you were running from
Don’t believe it for a sec
That what you give won’t give you nothing back
Don’t undo it for yourself
Don’t take it all and give back nothing

In front of me
Like bulls to the red flag we run to the finish
We're dying to get to the end of it all
But it's downhill from here, you can stop all your pulling
I'll make it myself to the end or I won't
A look back in time to what man has accomplished
Shows that there's nothing can last for too long
There's always a flood, or a god with an army
Ready to crush someones right to belong
Can't you see the signs again?
All left to do is breathe the air that's in front of me
Time it moves quickly now, no doubt about it
And there's no way we're slowing it down without love.
But the lovers are lost, and all the dreamers are silent
As the dollar sign rises to black out the sun
Can't you see the signs again?
All left to do is breathe the air that's in front of me
Who's to say what's right or wrong?
Who's to say what will be or won't?
We're all just a speck in the sun
But are we willing them fires to come?
For just how much longer will we lock up our spirits
And hide from the love it is time we recalled
You can reach the whole world with just the touch of a button
But can you spell armagedeon if you tweet that it's come?
Can't you see the signs again?
All left to do is breathe the air that's in front of me

Trenches and Dreams
Since a child, I've been a digger of holes
To hide away the only way I know
And in the depths of my pitiless wel
I dreamt of love, till I could see so well
The light that would lead me home
Now as I aged, my life it grew well
There's few so blessed could tell the tales I tell
But the higher I flew, the deeper I delved
Till time alone knew the place I dwelt
Where all I'd seen dissolved and never once returned to me
As if still that child with no goals to speak
I feigned the life I lived as it came to me
And I wandered those roads alone
The hopes I had dreamed up gone
With no light to lead me home
But how the seas once stirred me
How sweet the thoughts on the air once felt
Now all the stars in the night remind me
Of all the tales I'd never tell, and if all the ways to love
Of all the ways to love that I wasted here
Many years they passed, and I stayed as I fell
To find the dreams once I'd known so well
Until into the dark, as a star she fell
Seeing all I'd seen alone
And who we are with love came rushing back to me
As if still that child, with a heart to seek
I felt the life I'd dreamed could still come to be
The light that would lead me home
Where the seas still stirred me
How sweet the touch of her hand now felt
And all the stars in the night remind me
Of all the tales yet to tell, and of all the ways to love
All the ways to love that I wasted here
