I've Got So Much To Say

I've got so much to say
I've got so much to say to you
But you won't look my way
No you won't look my way or will you
Just one minute of your time please
That's all I need
Then you might see
What I see
I've got so much to say
I've got so much to say, but do you
When I ask and look in your eyes
You always glance away
Just one minute of your time please
That's all I need
Then you might see
What I see
There's so much to say
But not enough time in one day
Where others see balck and white
I always try to see the grey
Just one minute of your time please
That's all I need
Then you might see
What I see

Dreamers dream
Losers lose
Liars lie
And doers do
I'm not a saint
And I've lived in sin
I never had a christening
But I found faith in other ways
Breath by breath
I live every day
There are places
where I have been
Where souls break out
Are you listening
Dreamers dream
Losers lose
Liars lie
And doers do
The world's I've seen
Can't be shown or heard
Or explained to you
So just take my word
Have you ever thought
Someone else's thought
Trapped inside your mind
Where things are fraught
Well, my horizon's clear
The skies are always blue
I live without fear
And all facts are true
Dreamers dream
Losers lose
Liars lie
And doers do
The voyage of the wandering eye
To see the truth
Is to live and die
I've been there and back
I've been inside the Earth
My vision's been hijacked
And I've been shown my worth
But I must apply
What's been taught to me
What good is an eye
When you cannot see

Touch me with your love
And kiss me with your pain
Lust me with your eyes
And master my domain
Breathing fills my ears
Your fingers trace my skin
Legs as long as years
Junoesque as a mannequin
She asked me to come in
And then I stayed the night
She asked me where I've been
And where I got my appetite
Breathing fills my ears
Your fingers trace my skin
Legs as long as years
Junoesque as a mannequin
The lights go flashing by
Dopamine fills my mind
The hours go passing by
Our bodies become entwined
Let me hold you in my arms
And I'll speak softly in your ear
We'll stay up late tonight
And make the time disappear

Quarter Life Crisis
05:29
|

What the hell are you doing here
Why were you put on the earth
What can you contribute to societal progress
At death's door, what will your life have been worth
If you haven't found yourself
Take a look from within
And when you see through the grey skies
You'll just need to shed your skin
Can you make a difference
And if so, will it be good or bad
If given the choice
Would you be poor, but happy or rich and mad
If you haven't found yourself
Take a look from within
And when you see through the grey sky
You'll need to shed your skin
And if you feel stagnant
If you feel like your tires have lost all air
Just remember one thing
It's not the destination, it's the getting there
If you haven't found yourself
Take a look from within
And when you see through the grey sky
You'll need to shed your skin
Quarter life crisis looming over me
I've got so much to do and so much left to see
Quarter life crisis looming over me
I'm not too old, but I am approaching thirty

Daydreamers
04:34
|
|||
|
Sitting here wishing, thinking about all the things that I've been missing
Like missing you
Drinking, texting, television bingeing and fantasizing
Fantasizing about you
Can't take another minute of feeling like I'm trapped inside my mind
Gotta get out
Gotta climb
Gotta get off this broken ride
Not gonna run
Not gonna stop
And not gonna hide
Not gonna let my ambitions get pushed off to the side
I've got the passion of a burning sun
But some times I feel like I'm collapsing
Like a dying star
I've got big ideas, thoughts, proposals and propositions
But no gas for my car
If only I could take it out of my head and put it into words
Than perhaps my thoughts may finally get out and be heard
But at the end of the day, there's not much battery left in me
And then I go to sleep, wake up and day dream
I don't know exactly where it is that I'm supposed to be
When reality and dreams collide then I will finally see
I tend to dream more during the day than the night time
Why live in reality if fantasy is sublime
I never meant to be the one to want to shift the paradigm
Life gave me a lemon, when all I wanted was a lime
You look me in the eyes and ask me if I'm fine
And when I say yes, then you ask me if I'm lyin'
But I say I'm alright, and that I swear I'm really tryin'
To live a life where all my passions are undying
I don't know exactly where it is that I'm supposed to be
When reality and dreams collide then I will finally see

Digital Slaves
05:30
|
|||
|
A means of escaping a life that's too mundane
A way to convince yourself that you are not insane
A method to ease the sharpest of pains
Overwriting the chemicals inside of your brain
Digital slavery
Wireless chains tethered to me
Digital slavery
The humanity slowly disappears from me
Virtual reality is all that I ever want to see
It's the only place where I feel like I'm truly free
But if none of it is even the least bit fucking real
Then why is it the only thing that can make me feel?
Digital slavery
Wireless chains tethered to me
Digital slavery
Humanity slowly disappears from me
But it's not all doom and gloom
Something in bloom is sitting inside the womb
But if we rely on it too much, it will become our tomb
Keep an eye out on the horizon, where the future looms
Seeing all of life's colours through a lens
But is any of it true or is it just pretend?
Biology and technology merged into one
Blurring the lines between man and machine has been done

I didn't choose this life
It chose me
Wandering around without a clue each day
Til the music showed me the way
A child who once was lost was soon found in song
Discovering that piece that was missing all along
Why don't I
Find a job
Have a kid
And call it quits
Well, I would
If I could
But I can't
So I won't
I once woke up inside of a peculiar dream
My world was coming apart at the seam
When I awoke, I knew that I had to chase the soul
If I did not try, then how would I ever know
Why don't I
Find a job
Have a kid
And call it quits
Well, I would
If I could
But I can't
So I won't
What would I do if it wasn't for you?
Instead of the ocean, concrete for a view
What would I do if my love was eschewed
Something I hope would never come true
Why don't I
Find a job
Have a kid
And call it quits
Well, I would
If I could
But I can't
So I won't

Dancing Into The Dawn
05:17
|

|
Packed like sardines on the dancefloor
Expensive cocktails and girls galore
Cheap cologne, perfumes and cliché songs
A chorus where everyone can sing along
The night is young
And so are you
Is this really something that you want to do
Well, you might as well enjoy yourself
Gonna spend the night dancing in hell
Five drinks later, or was it six
Enough to maybe go and beg for sex
The night is young
And so are you
Is this really something that you should do
Some jerk eyed you up like he wants to fight
But you have nothing to prove tonight
You go outside and get asked for a light
"I don't smoke, but that guy might"
The night is young
And so are you
Using the black of night to mask the blue
Dancing into the dawn
It seemed so right and yet so wrong
Prancing like a fawn, a doe-eyed girl flashes a look at you that reels you along
But she was just looking for a free drink before they played her favourite song
Alone again, you leave from where you never belonged
