Zombie
A little piece of freewill diesas your squirming eyeballs start to fry.
Disbelief such time has passed
as a nodding donkey in this zombie caste.
Our employees are our greatest assets.
We will grow nurture and correct them.
We will consistently treat our employees with respect
to realize our potential as gross profit.
Employees will become loyal.
Employees will become productive.
This global strategic intent
powers and structures our journey,
towards our clear and enduring vision.
We will be dominant.
We will build a better world.
Time is short,
don't join these clones
and their soulless voices that can only drone.
Living death
creeps up unseen
as your blistered skin begins to seethe.
Club those zombies like baby seals
Club those zombies like baby seals

Fly
Swept away by a welcome dream
leave the ground and the daily scene.
I'll fly and fly and fly and fly.
Cast a glance over yesteryear
then gaze ahead through the stratosphere.
I'll fly and fly and fly bye-bye.
Gone for good , not coming back.
Lost the plot, not coming back.
I'll fly and fly and fly and fly and fly bye-bye.
Don't need things here, not coming back.
Done with fear, not coming back
Gather strength for a last farewell
slip of gravity's earthly spell.
I'll fly and fly and fly and fly.
Glide on up through the milky way
set my sights on a greater day.
I'll fly and fly and fly bye-bye.

I'll fly and fly and fly and fly and fly bye-bye.
Slip this mortal coil, not coming back
this world of toil, not coming back.
I'll fly and fly and fly and fly and fly bye-bye.
Looking down seems a sorry soulless place.
From up here I can voyage to outer space.
I'll fight the cold in this lonely boundless world.
I'll touch noone, I'll fly and touch the sun.

3% Man
Don't take this as a gospel truth.
Don't take this as an answer or a prove.
3% I have is true
little else but lies.
Only you can know
these secrets that I hide.
You've got my number now
there's no chance of saying goodbye.
Not much left I haven't lost
all gone 'cause I sold it to the boss.
3% I have is true
little else but lies.
Only you can know
these secrets that I hide.
You've got my number now, now, now.
3% man, I know it.
3% man, I show it.
3% man, I feel it.
3% man, you see it.
Because of what you mean to me
you've got the 3% for free,
the 3% noone should see,
the nagging little doubt I feel.
Big Fish
13 stones of muscle
no trace of fat to be found
trapped inside of this cruel bowl
right here I am bound.
Instincts drive me crazy
water in here is foul
plastic wrecks and pebbles
they patronize and lie.
I'm fish
I'm big fish
rise like a salmon
glide like a stingray.
I'm fish
I'm big fish
see how I shimmer
see how I slide.
Need to taste the salty sea
jump right out of this jar
find the open water
I'm this place I only writhe.
Outside in the deep ocean
I'll shimmy with my delight
drift in tropical currents
live the life I like.
One day I'll be swimming
no man will see my size
I'll find those secret places
hidden from human eyes.
With my mouth wide open
and no fear I'll start to rise
I'll bite and swallow quickly
then cruise the deep and wild.
Shifty
Shifty, shifty.
They like to hop round
and then they face down.
These eyes I just can't meet
you're such a lousy cheat.
Then vanity,
vanity is what I see when I catch your eye.
I catch your eye and I sense a lie.
You seem so uneasy

You seem so uneasy
what happened to light and breezy.

You shake your hips in your funky old style
I'll tap my foot like an impetuous child
I'll forget in a little while
forget it all for an innocent smile.

Monkey on my back
Got to shift and move,
got to skip and grove.
Do you want to dance?
Give me half a chance.
Want to move on up
move on up on this bouncy track.
Want to lost it
lose this monkey on my back.
Just break the rules
stop the rot but I just can't stop.
Won't get far
won't get far with this monkey on my back.
Do you like my look?
Do you like this hook?
If you want let's go,
please don't say no.
Want to move on up
move on up on this bouncy track.
Want to lost it
lose this monkey on my back.
Just break the rules
stop the rot but I just can't stop.
Won't get far
won't get far with this monkey on my back.
Other People's Dreams
He soothes in the silent places,
friends with the clouds and the wind.
Trying to remove the ugliest traces,
the ugliest traces of other people's dreams.
Take the dreams

And then he felt the suns break through,
the same old sun that shines on me and you,
the sun reached down and touched his face
and gave him all the dreams in life he'd chased.
He smooths the rougher edges,
talks to cool calm skies.
Trying to contain the simplest urges,
the simplest urges of other people's dreams.

Spoken
Words that are said
thoughts that should never be spoken at all.
Sleep off the pain
never to sleep on a fight so they say.
This foolish place
love can't replace
all the troubles we've made.
Where did it start?
Theses blows to the heart
that are struggling to heal.
Night time is shocking and cold
but you're there.
Day unforgiving and cruel
but you're there.
These words can mean nothing at all.
Touch you, feel you.
How is it that
I can't touch you, feel you?
Why can't you just
touch me, feel me?
thoughts that should never be spoken at all.

I can't touch you, feel you?
Why can't you just

Feelings are held
feelings frozen so solid near death.
Sometimes it thaws
never so long that they're healthy at all.
How did we find
games for the mind
so that both of us lose?
Who made the rules?
We play like such fools
not admitting defeat.

Burn
I'm watching my bridge burn down
so late I can't turn things around.
I watch as it falls then it's gone
and I've slashed and burned again.
Easy life and easy words
I'll always play the fool
forget me this time.
Show descent
always first to condescend
words have caught me up this time.
I'm wishing I could return
Not speak not show any concern.
I know I must stop take a breath
and no slash and burn again.
Easy life and easy words
I'll always play the fool
forget me this time.
Show descent
always first to condescend
words have caught me up this time.
Easy life is waiting for me
foolish words keep sprouting from me
too many ends and these beginnings.
Truth is Hard to Bear
History taught me how to lie
I'm lying to you
I'm fooling with myself.
Pretty pictures I create
to easy the way and captivate
Truth is hard to bear
the fact I care
to feel alone.
Shadow of my former self
I act as if I'm someone else
to seem alive.
Words, they seem so insincere
I'm kidding with them
I'm kidding with myself.
I ache behind this empty smile
I laugh and joke to seem worthwhile.

I'm turning, I'm squirming
you turn yourself, you turn yourself
you turn yourself inside out.
I'm turning, I'm squirming
you turn yourself, you turn yourself
you turn yourself inside out.
Only way I can survive
hiding the truth
feigning confidence.
Positive that I must sew
the scattered seeds I try to grow.

Struggle to Another Day
Slipped down the side of life
lost sight of the kind of life
that you once saw.
Straining to keep on track
trying to pick up the slack
you've tried to ignore.
Sailing, drifting to a dying day.
Lazing, ageing to your dying day.
Shifting your point of view
forced into seeing a new
a fresh approach.
Finding with each new breath
you're choked by the flawless depths
of all that's new.
Crawling, struggle to another day.
Fearing, tomorrow is your dying day.
I need some time
create some space
I have to find a beak away.
Some peace of mind,
make up some grace
you know just why.

Impossible Blue
Impossible blue
speaks unspoken
time out of view
having its say.
Incredible flight
thoughts unwanted
cast into light
come into sight.
Every thought you have is free
need to share for use to see.
Let's just take the time that's left
make every moment feel the best.
So much for us to do
too much left unsaid
empty spaces we must fill
make it real
so its's not

Impossible blue
wakes unwoken
feelings come through
joining us all.
Improbable youth
smiles possessed of
unarguable truth
showing the way.
Gaze up and fly
lost in the blue
we could be everyone.
No need to sigh
share the same space
we could be everyone
we could do everything.

Still Here
Peace rest upon this land
its smooth and smothered grace.
Muted light and misty haze
protects me from the days.
Inspires me, reminds me
of all beginnings not the ends.
Time has gone,
days are lost,
year on year on year
I'm still here.
Light burn away my pride
resistance to be found
chained within these four bare walls
whilst summer suns will shine.
Inspires me, reminds me
of all that's gained but not yet found.
Time has come,
days aren't lost,
year on year on year
we're still here.
