Imagination

Inside my own inner space
There’s not a soul in the whole place to see or ask me why
And with my senses in shreds
There I go to pick up the loose threads
Away from your hungry eyes

And in that infinite place
You’ll see a smile on my blank face
Becuase you can’t get there
It’s not just being alone
It’s more like a view that I’ve half known
From hills but I don’t know where

Imagination
Living mental isolation
Imagination
Imagination
Far from your contamination
Drifting in my inner space
Imagination

And when I look outside
There’s a world with nowhere to hide from the cold reality
I’ve chased innumerable friends
Filled my life with innumerable trends
But it didn’t make me see

Imagination
Living mental isolation
Imagination
Imagination
Far from your contamination
Drifting in my inner space
Imagination

But in the depth of a dream
Where the grass is always so green
And the sky is always blue
I’m escaping silently
I’m rejecting violently
This world for something new

Imagination
Living mental isolation
Imagination
Imagination
Far from your contamination
Drifting in my inner space
Imagination
	  

Landslide

So when the thought police arrive
And you want to stay alive
You can tell them where I am
I’m just lazing in the sunlight

So if you hear the heavy sound
Of the buildings falling down
And the poeple running round
I’m just lazing in the sunlight

I’m just lazing in the sunlight
	  

When I See You

I’m watching the surf fall
I’m wishing you near me
There’s oceans between us
I’m packing my lifebelt

When I see you
I fall helplessly in love
When I see you
I drown slowly under waves of love

I’m tearing my heart out
I’ll give it to you
There’s mountains between us
I’m thinking of calling

When I see you
I fall helplessly in love
When I see you
I drown slowly under waves of love

I’m climbing a mountain
I’m swimming an ocean
I’m dying to see you
You’re killing me slowly

When I see you
I fall helplessly in love
When I see you
I drown slowly under waves of love

I’m climbing
I’m falling
I’m swimming
I’m drowning
	  

Colourless Dream

I’m feeling in a shaky frame of mind
The look on my face, this is like a new beginning
Believing if I get it wrong this time
Floating in space I’ll see the pieces spinning to the Ground

When I dreamt a careless dream
There was nothing there to stop me
Now I see it on a screen
Such a careless [] has shot me to the ground

On a screen I can see it now
A thousand pieces
I can see them falling down
	  

Things We Never Did

We would be ashes
We would be silent and old
We would be wisdom
We would be left in the cold

When we were dancing
I saw the look in your eye
Now we are strangers
Lost in a see full of sighs

We would be traitors
We would forget we were young
We would be helpless
We are the kingdom to come
	  

Lost In a Moment

I worked my feelings out
I sing the words I’d like to shout
And it comes as no surprise
You’ve changed the rules again

We came here starry eyed
We went away dissatisfied
And it comes as no surprise
It comes as no surprise

I give my thoughts to you
Don’t ask for more
We’ve shared some moments
But that’s really all
And in my heart 
I fear you need much more

The sun won’t rearrange
A passion still resisting change
And I hope you realize
We’ve both been fooled the same
Your heart’s an open book
You’re too afraid to take a look
And I hope you realize
Yes I hope you realize

I give my thoughts to you
Don’t ask for more
We’ve shared some moments
But that’s really all
And in my heart 
I fear you need much more

We were lost in a moment
Maybe you didn’t notice

I give my thoughts to you
Don’t ask for more
We’ve shared some moments
But that’s really all
And in my heart 
I fear you need much more

My burning senses shout a melody too strong to doubt
And it comes as no surprise
You’ve missed the point again
We came here starry eyed
But now it seems those stars have died
And it comes as no surprise
Well it comes as no surprise

I give my thoughts to you
Don’t ask for more
We’ve shared some moments
But that’s really all
And in my heart 
I fear you need much more

Maybe you didn’t notice
We’ve lost it all
	  

The Tightrope Touch

Lately I find I’ve been walking on tightropes
That stretch through my mind in the spaces I don’t know
I’ve walked and I’ve fallen
So many times I don’t notice now

Writing equations for solving the problems
there’s always an answer I hadn’t considered
Sometimes I just blindly
Knowing later I’ll count it wrong

And the rope I touch 
As I’m walking in a dream
Is a mystery to me
And it won’t take much
For the nightmare that I see
To become reality

And the rope I touch 
As I’m walking in a dream
Is a mystery to me
And it won’t take much
For the nightmare that I see
To become reality

Mountains I find in this fragile existence
I step by the side and I’m lost in the distance
I’ve walked and I’ve fallen so many times I don’t notice now

Lately I find I’ve been walking on tightropes
That stretch through my mind
I’ve walked and I’ve fallen so many times

And the rope I touch 
As I’m walking in a dream
Is a mystery to me
And it won’t take much
For the nightmare that I see
To become reality

And the rope I touch 
As I’m walking in a dream
Is a mystery to me
And it won’t take much
For the nightmare that I see
To become reality
	  

Echoplay

Dumb silence doesn’t pay
I’ve said three words again today
Each one just fell away
In lonely echoplay

And when the room is empty
Its subtle tricks protect me
There goes another day 
[incomplete]
	  

Clocktower Lodge

Clint

They’re marching down the street
With heavy boots upon their feet
I saw you in a doorway
You turned and walked away from me

I thought it was surprising
For friends to say goodbye that way
You looked at me in silence
And then you turned and walked away

And if we meet again someday
I know that you won’t be the same
When understanding is betrayed
Just walk away, just walk away

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
	  

Lope

Racing from my head forever 
Staring wildly as in like a feather blowing
Take me through an open window
Maybe we could play a part and not know we played it

They’re hanging like the hours
That move with hidden powers
Take me to a silken shadow
Maybe we could play a part and not know we played it
	  

Cloud 9

This is cloud 9 driving me
And it won’t make much sense of what I see
When I’m rushing down the room
Or talking to a friend about the moon

So you don’t want to touch down
Abandon flight
When the system is shut down on cloud 9

I don’t get a reaction
I don’t get a reaction
Just another distraction on cloud 9

This is straight man calling you
And he knows why he’s straight and so do you
When they cut his body down
The planet crashed, the crew went underground

So you don’t want to touch down
Abandon flight
When the system is shut down on cloud 9

I don’t get a reaction
I don’t get a reaction
Just another distraction on cloud 9

Just another distraction
Just another distraction
Just another distraction on cloud 9
	  

ART (By Me)

Alice (Isn’t Playing)

Look out the window can you see the sky
What color is it can you see the light
And is it raining yet down in the street
And do you talk to everyone you meet

In the light you can disappear without a trace
In the night every shadow seems to burn your face

Sometimes you think that I can be your friend
But then you know I can’t go back again
And yes I’m sorry that I’ve come so far
But being caustic we forget we are

In the light you can disappear without a trace
In the night every shadow seems to burn your face
	  

Far From the Sea

Pinned to a day
Striped Like a cage
Suits you in grey
Made to withstand
Too many plans
Measured in sand.
