You Depend On You
06:30
|
|
||
See the truth now
Believe in you and try and try
Win through because of what you do, don’t fail through someone else
An even hand is fallacy, so play the cards you’re dealt
Advantage is subjective, it’s you that holds you back
Forget where you came in from and learn to dodge the flack
I depend on me
Define my destiny
You depend on you
Can’t hide it, Can’t fight it
Sink or swim
Spread your wings and fly...
and fly...
Slander gets you nowhere, scowl through knitted brows
Despair gives way to bitterness and Envy brings you down
Understand you have control and forge your unique path
Take the reins, forget the blame, and build a strength that lasts
I depend on me
Define my destiny
You depend on you
Can’t hide it, Can’t fight it

Sodium Sunrise
05:13
|
|

Ma’at
You, I never wanted
You, I didn’t need
The shining markets, the call to prayer
Murky, hazy hellhole
Streets of dust and sleaze
The sacred river, the Valley of Kings
Seeing what I wanted
Perspective preconceived
Sodium Sunrise
Silver gleaming on the Nile
Silver gleaming on the Nile
Fight to find a heaven, or choose to live in hell
Keep drowning in self pity, or climb the citadel
You, I never wanted.
You, I didn’t need
The memories of thousands of years
Halfway round the planet
No reason I could see
The monuments to ancient Gods
I was biased from the outset
Images believed
Sodium, it’s all sodium

Get Over Yourself
03:33
|
|
||
We don’t drink tea and we’re all out of sympathy
Get over yourself
Get over yourself
You won’t get rich by counting your neighbours wealth
Grab hold of yourself.
Grab hold of yourself
Constant projection is destroying your mental health
Jealousy eats your heart out
Drains the life from your veins
Lost and disbelieving why your cycle is sustained
Jealousy eats your heart out
Drains the life from your veins
Battle through the heartache, and break away the chains
Make a new life for yourself
Make a whole world full of wealth
Get over yourself
Get over yourself
You won’t get rich by counting your neighbours wealth
Get after yourself
Get after yourself
Don’t live your whole life wishing you were someone else
Get over yourself
Get over yourself
You won’t get rich by counting your neighbours wealth
Get after yourself
Get after yourself
Drop by drop the jealousy starts to melt

Always Hope
05:04
|
|
||
Careful who you listen to, beware of what they say
Don’t let them snap your spirit, with troubles of the day
The news that’s spread is dark, the tales that’s told so bleak
What’s the point in going on? It makes you feel so weak
The sun will rise again - There’s always hope
Stars are shining bright - There’s always hope
The world goes on in spite - There’s always hope
The tide will turn tonight
Sideline all the negatives, that serve to bring you down
Bombarding all your senses, as bad news does the rounds
Find a better circle who make you feel alive
Inspired and enlightened to try and try and try
Can’t burn it
Can’t block it
There is Always Hope
Can’t bruise it
Can’t break it
There is Always Hope

No Victim
04:23
|
|
||
Say what you want to say
I choose to sink or swim
And I choose to listen anyway
Or whether to let the words in
Shaped by my experience
Forged by what I’ve seen
Triumph through adversity
Building my own scene
No victim, no blame
No anger, no shame
Overcome through change
No victim, no shame
Think what you want to think
Though I choose to disagree
I respect your rights to think that way
But your words say nothing to me
Hardships only temporary
Pain comes fore relief
Deciding my own future
Changing my beliefs.
I need fire
I need pain
I need some destruction
I need the tools of change

The Longest Day
04:24
|
|
||
Words softly spoken
Dreams quickly broken
Memories fade into dust
Liberties taken, chances forsaken
Resigned to a life of mistrust
Manipulation
Pure suspicion
Same prediction
Worse affliction
Hope gently dying, swiftly stop trying
Future now slipping away
Got to believe, to try and conceive
An end to the longest day
Find conviction
Lose preconception
Feel elevation
Follow temptation
Now, take my hand through the fire
We’ll be stronger than anyone
We’ll be stronger than anyone

Magnificent
03:14
|
|
||
I don’t get the normal way
No synergy with day to day
Humanity feels so weak
Not much is unique
But I get you
I don’t see the point of much
Feels distant and out of touch
Not driven or inspired
No need to be admired
But I see you
Magnificent
It’s magnificent
Somehow you see through to my core
Magnificent
Just magnificent
Today, tomorrow and for evermore
I don’t often feel alive
Disconnected deep inside
No shattering insight
A failure to ignite
But I feel you
I don’t read the social cues
Missing things, I wish I knew
Often feeling shame
Frustrating guessing game
But I read you

Not For Me
03:41
|
|
||
Right is right and left is left
No time to catch that second breath
Straightforward, straight at
No point to chit chat
Know who I am
What it means to me
Who I am
You’re not for me
Knocked down and thrown around
Way off track, and dumfound
If you’re the lock, I’ve lost my key
It’s who I am, and it works for me
Failed attempts at fitting in
Social nightmares, bargaining
Hearing words that don’t make sense
Distracted by your evidence
Knowing that this isn’t me
Terrified of what might be
Breaking through not breaking down
Bring it home and bring it round

Another Way
04:54
|
|
||
So wronged, tied to my convictions
Dwelling on blame, time and again
So lost, can’t find reasons
Left to the flames, time and again
With spite, seeking out targets
Feel my blood drain, time and again
Blind to all rhyme, deaf to all reason
Paralysed by pain, time and again
All I know is I don't want to feel like this again
All I know is I’m burning out my heart again
Find another way
There must be another way
Another way
There must be another way
No truth, self-serving story
Masking my shame, time and again
Blown minds, discarded opinions
Cut against the grain, time and again

Love Is The Answer
04:39
|
|
||
We’ve fought a thousand wars
No change, win, lose or draw
Repeating time again
But nothing matters in the end
No, nothing matters in the end
Love is the answer
Hate tears you apart
Love is the answer
Come out from the dark
Love is the answer
And speak from the heart
We’ve voted and elected
Our promises rejected
Outsourced our hope again
But nothing matters in the end
No, nothing matters in the end
Quick to react and to retaliate
Bound through a life sentence of hate
No empathy, respect or master plan
Humanity lost to a spiritual quicksand
