Neither Here Nor There

I thought we were alright,
Then we'd have another fight,
It's easier to ebb and flow.
And I tried to convince myself,
I could settle for second best,
When it's easier to be on your own.
Suddenly, the walls begin to bleed,
And I'm not sure if I'm happy anymore,
I don't care. but I'm neither here nor there,
I'm out of love and I know it,
I'm feeling so alone.
I feel so alone.
All I ever wanted was to be loved,
But all I ever needed was to give love.
Suddenly, the walls begin to bleed,
And I'm not sure if I'm happy anymore,
I don't care. but I'm neither here nor there,
I'm out of love and I know it,
I'm feeling so alone.
I feel so alone.

Here With Me

Remember when we both were young, full of life?
Remember those long lost summer days?
I'd count on fingers up to ten and you'd hide,
But I'd just pretend to close my eyes.
We'd run through the fields,
Running so fast that we could fly,
And that's when I realised that I know.
We are capable of anything,
And I want the world to see,
Although everyone outgrows their wings,
Someday I'll be flying free.
We'd build a fortress out sticks in the trees,
I'd be the king and you'd be the queen.
We'd camp out 'til sunrise,
Our parents would call us back inside,
And that's when I realised that I know.
We are capable of anything,
And I want the world to see,
Although everyone outgrows their wings,
Someday I'll be flying free,
And you'll be here with me.

Searching
05:29
|
|

|
I'm walking through the rain and I don't know where I'm going.
I'm searching high and low for a place I can call home.
But I need to get away from here on the open road.
So if you find a better place, won't you let me know?
I'm searching for the answer, no no.
I'm searching for the answer, no no, oh no.
Businessmen, they may rule the world. But that's not my business.
And thieves, they may steal my things. But I'm not sure I'll need them.
But I need to get away from here on the open road.
So if you find a better place, won't you let me know?
I'm searching for the answer, no no.
I'm searching for the answer, no no, oh no.

Wise Man

Wise man, oh wise man, where have you gone?
Chased from the lands you called home.
Secrets of the ages have been lost.
Wherever you may be, please pray for us.
Wise man, oh wise man, hear our yearning call.
Knowledge return to the Earth.
One in every million awakened souls.
The ancestors watch on over us.

Sticks and Stones
02:46
|
|

Clarity, oh you help me see the madness of my fellow man.
He wears his mental chains with highest pride.
And every thought is ruled by fear as he sleepwalks into tyranny.
Clarity, oh you set me free. Awaken from this evil spell.
To tell the truth is now the highest crime.
As society divides, I'm a stranger to my country.
Sticks and stones very well may break my bones.
But the tyranny will never break my spirit.
Sticks and stones very well may break my bones.
But I won't give in as long as I'm still living.

New War
04:16
|
|

|
There's a new war coming and we're running out of time.
They came for your freedom, but now they want your mind.
Just like Alice tumbling down that rabbit hole.
You're a slave to their system and you're under their control.
Wise man once said, the truth will set you free.
Well, he sold you your shackles and he called it liberty.
It won't stop at anything to satisfy that fix.
Whilst you're distracted by the cartoon politics.
Well, you can stand there, just you like you did before.
But you have a choice.
Open your eyes, you've got to see through their lies.
Don't let them push you around.
Let's not pretend that we know how it will end.
You've got to fight to survive, 'cause it's a new war.
There's a new war coming and there's no place left to hide.
'Cause people are waking at the turning of the tide.
The powers that were, they almost had it all.
But they hijacked the future and they climbed too high to fall.
Well, you can stand there, just you like you did before.
But you have a choice.
Open your eyes, you've got to see through their lies.
Don't let them push you around.
Let's not pretend that we know how it will end.
You've got to fight to survive, 'cause it's a new war.

Pocket Full Of Lies
03:24
|
|
||
|
Ever think about the bigger questions, or do you go about your day?
Ever wonder why you're going nowhere, or how the hell it got this way?
Well, all you see and all you feel and all your judgements are reflections of yourself.
A reason why we all should panic, you heard about it in the news.
They lie about the facts and figures, so they can keep us all confused.
You only have to realize that everything you see is not all as it seems.
Yeah, the system's run on rampant greed.
And there's a fracture in society.
You know that nothing ever comes for free.
So why not free yourself?
You don't know who or what you are.
You were lied to from the start.
You don't know how to live or think for yourself.
They sold a pocket full of lies at an astronomic price.
And you paid it.
Will you make yourself an easy target?
They'll mark you with a smart vaccine.
Will you fight to keep your fading freedoms, or give in to the dark regime?
Well, there's still time to wake your mind to see reality.
But time is running out.
Yeah, the system's run on rampant greed.
And there's a fracture in society.
You know that nothing ever comes for free.
So why not free yourself?
You don't know who or what you are.
You were lied to from the start.
You don't know how to live or think for yourself.
They sold a pocket full of lies at an astronomic price.
And you paid it.

Blind Man
05:51

Blind man walks with his hands on his feet,
Gets strange looks from the folk in the street,
He's begging for change, but nobody cares.
A pregnant teenage mother of three,
She's on her iPhone while the kids shout and scream,
And caught in the smoke of her e-cigarette.
A girl from the office, she's out on the town,
Dressed in her best, painted up like a clown,
Maybe she'll meet her husband this year?
And a drunken reveller is knocked to the floor,
Covered in blood, but he'll come back for more,
The bouncer's request was perfectly clear.
The world carries on whether you like it or not,
There's no use trying to change what cannot be changed,
In time you will find that we're all just as blind,
In truth all the same, one and the same,
We're one and the same.
A sharply dressed man rushes past at the station,
By the look on his face, clearly needs a vacation,
He's knows time is money, but he's already late.
In the old market square stands a proud honoured veteran,
He fought for his country, but received no attention,
For the country he loved has now all but changed.
The world carries on whether you like it or not,
There's no use trying to change what cannot be changed,
In time you will find that we're all just as blind,
In truth all the same, one and the same,
We're one and the same.
Blind man walks with his hands on his feet,
Gets strange looks from the folk in the street,
He's begging for change, but nobody cares.

Love

Love, you are my friend, you are my foe.
Love, you are my weakness and my goal.
Love, you are the sand beneath my feet.
Love, you are the reason that I feel alone.
Love, you are my every spoken word.
Love, you are my beacon through this world.
Love, you are my sword, you are my shield.
Love, you are the reason that I feel alone.
