Shipyard
Winter came early this year and isn’t letting up,
Your cries still ringing in my ear.
It’s no one’s fault but that doesn’t act like any second prize.
If we’re not moving forward than we’re slipping back into it alright.
People see us now as a fading light,
But the sun will rise another time and we’ll survive.
To watch it all pass by only realise,
That the sun will rise another time and we’ll survive.
You move in shadows now it’s a hidden kind to watch them all come out,
Only to lead where we were fleeting.
The words you keep will ring a softer sound, a time that we’ve outgrown.
The clock’s been set only to remind us of what we’ll never know.
People see us now as a fading light,
But the sun will rise another time and we’ll survive.
To watch it all pass by only realise,
That the sun will rise another time and we’ll survive.
Frozen Faces
Dim the lights to silver night,
Adjust the mood to what you like.
Frozen faces, paralyzed -
Something inside does not feel right.
I’ll take you out, smile when you’re late,
I’ll eat what you leave on your plate,
but it’ll tear away and leave a shadow in your place.
So say nothing in my defense there’s nothing sane.
It’s a part you play, divide the pills up into days.
Imagine my surpise. It only took two tries over two nights.
Greet the daylight now I’m not afraid.
In that picture, without in it,
I see those old roads rust away.
Ashley Seems To Think So
You’re undressed but too tired,
To stand up on your own.
I see you walk out,
But I can’t leave this room.
Go - I’m out of control at a one man show.
Go - What you see is what it is.
Go - You know you’d find.
Do you go, do you satisfy limits?
Go - You know you’d find.
Do you go, do you satisfy limits?
Looks down, with hands bound,
Because he can’t stand your tone.
Changing channels won’t change your life,
But time’s passed and I’ve gown.
Go - I’m out of control at a one man show.
Go - What you see is what it is.
Go - You know you’d find.
Do you go, do you satisfied limits?
Go - You know you’d find.
Do you go, do you satisfied limits?
Go - You know you’d find.
Do you go, do you satisfied limits?
Go - You know you’d find.
Do you go, do you satisfied limits?
Through The Looking Glass
And so we turn our heads for the information to arrive,
With all the patience of a long drive.
I’m through the door, she’s curled up on the floor,
Waiting for me to come home.
If the past lit up and burned, until we couldn’t read the signs,
And we still shouted from the skies.
I’m through the door, she’s curled up on the floor,
Waiting for me to come home.
I’m through the past, through the looking glass,
the words don’t match the pictures.
Close As I Will Get
Your problem with life is: there’s too many out there now,
Who’ve already given up on every settling down.
So you tell them, it’s now all about luck,
Or keeping your eyes shut, when the first kiss is like a drug.
Are you happy now? There’s only one who’s keeping score.
Will the next one have you, or will it take a little more?
To be with one your whole life and not live to regret,
For the ones you haven’t found yet,
What we have might not be perfect ,
But it’s as close as I will get.
If I wanted your advice I would’ve asked you long ago,
Long before you turned every problem to your own.
You’re too late, you’ve already missed the train,
It’s like you wrote the book but you’re never in the game.
Are you honestly happy when there’s only one who’s keeping score.
Will the next one have you, or will it take a little more?
To be with one your whole life and not live to regret,
For the ones you haven’t found yet,
What we have might not be perfect ,
But it’s as close as I will get.
Wake Up
Wake up Julie,
I know you’re leaving,
It’s too late, that’s true,
Your tears stain your mattress blue.
All night, talking,
I know you’re listening.
There’s too much cold truth,
That won’t stay within you.
I’m worried that we’re running out of time.
I’ll say that you’re right,
And hold on too tight.
I’m too scared to let go,
And face life without you.
I’m worried that we’re running out of time.
Doorbell
Take it true,
What they say,
That a girl can’t save your life,
But they can sure help you through the day.
Be like the true romantics,
And waste it away.
There’s promise in the young, naive,
Until the fun decays.
You better take a look and put a black frame on it,
Remember how you were before the mundane onset, you lose.
Settle in your life, ignore the news,
This is now the point that you have to choose.
Take a stand and turn a closed eye backwards,
Hear things for the first time, have a new reaction, you view.
Come into a new, restore a truth,
This is not the point that you have to choose.
I think it hurts,
You think that’s OK.
Your tears are now my prison walls,
That’s why I want escape.
We both know it finished last year,
When I had my say.
So I cut the vein and went to work,
At one P.M. that day.
You better take a look and put a black frame on it,
Remember how you were before the mundane onset, you lose.
Settle in your life, ignore the news,
This is now the point that you have to choose.
Take a stand and turn a closed eye backwards,
Hear things for the first time, have a new reaction, you view.
Come into a new, restore a truth,
This is not the point that you have to choose.
Take a look and put your insane spin on it,
It’s mundane but that’s the part that you’ll have to live with,
I left you in denial but I want to choose from now.
Take a stand, I don’t care, just take it somewhere else,
The future mine but that’s a part I left myself,
I left you in denial but I want to choose from now.
Delay Song
The piece fits well when you force it down,
The less words you use, leave it up to them.
Now that’s a bigger part of you then it is of me.
I take your form and I melt it down,
Dry it out, take the ashes and scatter them,
To reach every capital city,
And do you recall the nights out,
I’m singing about your soul do you care, can you feel that?
Is the joke on me or the joke on them?
Is that too obvious to say,
A thought that I already know,
From past thoughts made before,
from a bad voice in a bad clone?
And now I’ve always prayed for change,
But then delay for one more show.
It’s warm, a life lived low,
In the shadows of the others.
I know a place high beyond control,
They live it out there and wash their souls.
For all of time they’re 27 years old.
I take your chords and I mix them round,
And force them down to take the meaning and shatter it,
To reach all the children in pity,
And do you recall the nights out,
I’m singing about your soul do you care, can you feel that?
Is the joke on me or the joke on them?
Is that too obvious to say,
A thought that I already know,
From past thoughts made before,
from a bad voice in a bad clone?
And now I’ve always prayed for change,
But then delay for one more show.
It’s warm, a life lived low,
In the shadows of the others.
Ninetytwo
The times say fly away fool,
To somewhere far beyond.
Your battleground is your bedroom,
And the fight is all but lost.
For that moment, you are taken back,
To where it all went wrong.
Reaching for your stereo remote,
To turn it on.
Your changing attitudes as you change the song.
It takes you back to ninety two to help you oversome.
To say it’s all your fault or let her take the fall.
To tell her everything or say nothing at all.
The times say fly away fool,
You’ve been here much too long,
But always staying faithful,
Yeah you were the only one.
Maybe that won’t change,
Like it’s written in the sun.
By the time that you see,
The damage has been done.
Your changing attitudes as you change the song.
It takes you back to ninety two to help you oversome.
To say it’s all your fault or let her take the fall.
To tell her everything or say nothing at all.
Your Curses Are A Victory
I never knew that the dreaming would start today.
The auto-pilot is steering their lives away.
Looking back and you won’t recognise the day.
Now that you’ve seen it, you’re already too late.
But you’re curses are a victory.
No, you’re curses are a victory.
You’re curses are a victory,
Oh but you’re passive and it’s meant to be.
It’s taken over the child and the want to play,
You’ll never see it if you ever walk away.
But you’re curses are a victory.
No, you’re curses are a victory.
You sit there, idle and dream of a future,
One where people talk and people listen.
I hear the robot voices are drowned out,
Where it’s not too wrong to beat the system,
No it isn’t.
