Tragic Truth

Everyone's putting you down
Pushing you around
Trying to catch you out
And now, you'll never find me now
I've gone up into the clouds
Alone, without a sound
And when you come around then I'll be
Waiting on my cloud, and beside me
Lies the one key of my youth
A painful story, a tragic truth
The realisation of my identity
I woke up, on the wrong side of the bed
Feeling like I'm dead
With all the bad thoughts in my head
And you'd, better watch where you tread
Cus you're the ones who fed
The dangers I now dread
And when you come around then I'll be
Waiting on my cloud, and beside me
Lies the one key of my youth
A painful story, a tragic truth
The realisation of my identity
Just think, what it would be like to be me
See all that I can see
And be all I can ever be
But you, you only care for the money
All the fame and the glory
You don't care what comes of me
And when you come around then I'll be
Waiting on my cloud, and beside me
Lies the one key of my youth
A painful story, a tragic truth
The realisation that I'm not really
And when you come around then I'll be
Waiting on my cloud, and beside me
Lies the one key of my youth
A painful story, a tragic truth
The realisation that I'm not really me

Revolution

Don't you think it's sad
how much control, that these bastards have?
And the worst part is that every day they deal us the worst hand
That we have ever had
So when will justice come, we ask you?
Do you even listen? I'm not sure that you do
You're too busy filling your pockets, and cutting that from our budgets
For you to care about other people too
Cus you are one small group of people
We're the whole country
Our lives matter just as much as yours
So food shouldn't be a treat
From the nurses in the food banks to the beggars on the streets
It shouldn't be this hard to eat
And what about the job crisis, here and now
Just cut some more, that'll fucking work somehow
I'm so lucky that I get to say about every gig that I get to play
But I know that luck will soon run out
Cus you are one small group of people
This is the nation
We work our asses off
While you get paid to sit on them
And even when presented with all of the problems
You still pay no attention
Don't get me started on what we're paid
Lack of seems to work better, and you say
"An extra pat on the back will keep all our workers right on track
while we bask in our multi million estates"
And the saddest part of all, is that we can all but crawl
Under this sick regime of these bastards and their greed
Who look out for the elite, with the rest of us under their feet
But I swear to you some day we'll have the courage, to stand strong and say
Your reign of power is short now
A revolution comes
The establishment you laze upon
Is soon to come undone
You'd best get moving now, or else you're gonna have to run
Cus now it's one for all, and all for one

Tears

It's that time again, I knew this would come
I don't wanna say goodbye to my only one
I wanna say, that you are my world
My Passion, my smile and joy, but I can't find the words
How did you do this to me?
It hasn't even been long
It seemed that happiness and me weren't meant to be
But you proved that oh so wrong
I wanna tell you of the beauty I see
In you, but do you have the time? It'll take an eternity
How did you do this to me?
It hasn't even been long
It seemed that happiness and me weren't meant to be
But you proved that oh so wrong
How lucky have I been to find
Someone like you
Keeping my eyes hazy
Now I'm not really the dependent kind
But as soon as you leave
I start going crazy
How did you do this to me?
It hasn't even been long
It seemed that happiness and me weren't meant to be
But you proved that oh so wrong
Why do you have to go away
Can the world just wait a minute?
I just wanna say how much I need you
And that doesn't take a second does it?
But now, the time has come
One second you're here, the next you're gone
And all the tears in the world, can't make this feeling go away
I just want you to stay

Oh Sanity

Oh Sanity, come and stay with me
For a week or two
Oh Sanity, won't you play with me
I'm missing things without you
And I think you miss me too!
Ever since you left, my life has been unravelling
And it's starting to feel like I've lost my mind
So please come back to me, I promise I won't hurt you
I just want to regain my sense
Oh Sanity, come and stay with me
For a week or two
Oh Sanity, won't you play with me
I'm missing things without you
Time goes flying by, like a car that's broken down
Thoughts in my head going round and round
So take pity on me, cus I'm slowly going crazy
And it's all because you left me behind
Oh Sanity, come and stay with me
For a week or two
Oh Sanity, won't you play with me
I'm missing things without you
Oh Sanity, come and stay with me
For a week or two
Oh Sanity, won't you play with me
I'm missing things without you
Oh Sanity, you're no match for me
I would easily beat you
Oh Sanity, about your eulogy
I've written it for me too
Because I'm dead without you

Afraid

I'm afraid that one day I will die
I'm afraid that I'll find out that my whole life has been a lie
The ramblings of a mental patient
Or just some simulation from the future
And I don't know what to do
Is any of this true?
I'm afraid when I look up at the night
Look at the stars and I realise that they're not just a pretty sight
They're bigger than I can imagine
With surroundings I can't fathom at all
And I don't know what to do
Is any of this true?
I just wanna know
Should I stick around or go
Begin again, holding nothing back
Where would I even start?
On my feet, with this guitar
I don't know how I would do it again
I'm afraid when I think about the earth
All the avoidable suffering, all the unnecessary hurt
You see it all on the internet
People go on about stuff that they don't get
And they go on, and they go on and they go on
I just wanna know
Should I stick around or go
Begin again, holding nothing back
Where would I even start?
On my feet, with this guitar
I don't know how I would do it again
I'm afraid when I think about this country
All the less fortunate people, and what they could've been
If we weren't fucked around by the tories
But that's a different story for another day
Another day, another day another day
I just wanna know
Should I stick around or go
Begin again, holding nothing back
Where would I even start?
On my feet, with this guitar
I don't know how I would do it again
I'm afraid when I think about me
Just the future really cus I'm not sure what I am meant to be
I'm never giving up on music
But the doubts come in too quick
And they say I don't know what to do

In The End

I know it's only been a few years but we've been through so much together
And I just want you to know that I'll call you my friends forever
Cus when you need to break down, know that I'll be around to be your shoulder to cry on
You know I'd do the same, and at the end of the day I'm someone you can rely on
And we'll keep fighting onward dear friends
Knowing our fight will never stop
And we'll keep on moving onward till the end
When the last one of us drops
We know all our flaws and we know what makes us tick
And we remember when those outside the group decide that they wanna be a dick
I remember when he let you down and I know she's not around anymore, and that much be so tough
We know life's got it's hardships, sometimes the path remains unlit but we'll keep each other out of the rough
And we'll keep fighting onward dear friends
Knowing our fight will never stop
And we'll keep on moving onward till the end
When the last one of us drops
We always know how to keep each other up
And we still know that it's never all straight up
Our long journey's just started and it'll never reach its limit
But we don't care, cus the fun never stops does it?
I know we've had our hard times sometimes friendships on the line, but we're all made up and that I know is true
Because we've got each others back, something some people seem to lack and I'm lucky I'm surrounded by you
And we'll keep fighting onward dear friends
Knowing our fight will never stop
And we'll keep on moving onward till the end
When the last one of us drops
