More To Life

What will we see,
We're going out tonight
The stories believed
Are they out of their minds?
Taken straight
Where we were warned about
The others will leave
And we'll be left behind.
The light is fading
The sun parts company
Will there be answers
Of any kind
Holding position
We are one with the night now
Full of suspicion
As to what we'll find
Then I was staring into a light
No matter what i'd do
It kept in sight
I saw it all with my own eyes
So what I'm saying to you
May surprise
They were right!
I changed my mind
Once it was proven there's so much more,
More To Life!
Into the trees
Hope is holding out tonight
Though people believe
The chances will decline
It's so hard to see
It's really coming down now
Washing away
The odds of any sign
They're feeling deceived
The trail went silent now
They're starting to grieve
There's nothing there to find
Well I was staring into the night
No matter where I'd move
It didn't feel right.
Then I saw it with my own eyes
So what I'm saying to you
May Surprise
Try as they might!
To change my mind
It's been proven there's so much more
More To Life!

The Imposter
04:25

All the time the talk is small
I slide my way down the hall
It's a miracle I'm even here at all
I'm stepping closer to my fall
So let's play out the part
You be the speaker and I will listen
Pretend I can relate
A nod and a smile, a point I'm missing
All I'm hoping for
Is we find something here to foster
Or you'll find out who I am
The Imposter
My attention tends to sway
Toward the bad things they say
It's irrelevant I'm leaving anyway
I'm getting closer to that day
So let's play out the part
You be the speaker and I will listen
Pretend I can relate
A nod and a smile, a point I'm missing
All I'm hoping for
Is we find something here to foster
Or you'll find out who I am
The Imposter
Next time I will try
To keep the faith in what I've been given
And hold my head up high
to nod and smile with full precision
And I will give my all
In search of something here to foster
Forgetting who I am
The Imposter

Crossing Fingers

A thank you,
Is it all I need?
Am I the best I can be?
Measured to what degree?
And will I
Find out what this means?
Been missing the mark,
I see
Where should I aim to be?
I want to believe
In what cannot be seen
In the space in between
I gave up the search
Seems I'm out of time
Rather than seeking
What was on my mind
I'd been crossing fingers
For those who are blind.
But I'll try
For my final scene
Keeping my conscience clean
Keeping my conscience clean
Still I want to believe
In what cannot be seen
In the space in between
I gave up the search
Seems I'm out of time
Rather than seeking
What was on my mind
I'd been crossing fingers
For those who are blind.
Now I start to fear
When I close my eyes
It seemed real to me
Through the darkest nights
So this is how we learn
How to live our lives?

A Growing Need
03:54
|
|

Is something pushing me around?
If I look behind me, will a set of prints be found?
I was once a well-known creature in this town
Such a shame I can't wait for them to burn it down.
I just want to see
The forest for the trees
To know what's missing in me
Is the shimmer of the leaves
The deeper you're in, the higher the chance that you will drown
Oh the voices silence me amongst the crowd
I couldn't play along I was always too proud
In search of those to whom I'd honour and bow down
I just want to see
Where the river takes the stream
To know when I'm down on my knees
Something great flows through me
I just want to see
The sunlight pouring over me
When I have a growing need
To become what I need to be
Is there something left for me
Help to break out of the seed
For once.

Flowers

Recall where you had been
Another broken scene
The last placed you'd choose
It held the most to lose
Let your defences fall
Worn down by standing tall
Waking up from the dream
Things aren't quite as they seem
They laughed and played along
Making a slave of the strong
In all the wrong they'd done
Search for the smoking gun
And while I tried to care
So little you would share
I never meant you harm
Just slow to raise the alarm
Thrown to the wolves below
Now they will never know
The flowers we could find
Deep in the back of your mind.

Potential
03:31

You never sought out influence
As something to be achieved
Just sharing all your common sense
Pointing out we are aggrieved
Acting on your dissonance
Quickly labelled naive
But in your so called ignorance
You planted as seed.
You made them believe
You made them believe
In all they could be
Much more, potentially.
So focused on all that I lack
Never one to agree
I could bring the meaning back
To everything I can see
Always one for instant fix
I'd take all I could receive
And acting on my tenderness
It's when I want to leave
I'd start to believe
In all I could be
Potentially free
My humble plea
You've dropped down a key
I'm going beneath
To fight to set free
From all
That shackles me.

Confession
03:30
|
|

If I told you of my worried mind
Would we wade through all I've kept inside?
Would you help me lift this guilt of mine?
Behind the curtain, would I see a smile?
A hope I hold on to
A faith I never knew
I cast my net so wide
And though I do need to
I won't be seeking you
In fear it's empty on the other side
This weight I carry through
On passing time, it grew
And slowly shortened my stride.
Yet when I do need to,
I won't be seeking you
Fearing no one's on the other side.

Applause

Rarely do we meet the need to try
Reaching into shadow from the light
Chances we should never let go by
To meet the monster hiding in the night
By any means we're trying to derive
A destination we can all define
To fill us with a sense that we'll arrive
Through steady plans we're looking to refine
My ambitions never allow
For me to stray from what I vow
Nothing to distract from all I aim to be
The realisation I'm in control of all that is front of me
We're told that all we ever have is now
And each and every moment is complete
I'm less convinced I still wonder how
For some, mere existence is a feat
Let's hold belief nothing good comes for free
And effort must be met by some reward
If in the end there is nothing to see
Perhaps then we'll reflect and applaud
My ambitions never allow
For me to stray what I vow
The never ending search for all I aim to be
The realisation I'm in control of all that is front of me.
