The compulsion was too much....


Carousel

Spinning on a carousel,
All the things I had are gone.

The doctor of the mind he came,
And told me I was wrong.

Now I know I don't belong,
Heaven's here to break my fall.

Eternal Life

I'm all in chains,
Everything is illusion.
I'm in a cage,
Nothing's of my choosing.
I must fly again,
Back to paradise.
Free fall,
Into the ocean.

I have felt freedom,
I have seen the killing light.
I've tasted chemicals that promised me,
Eternal life.

I'm wide awake,
Everybody's dreaming.
For pity's sake,
Can you hear the screaming?
I must fly again,
Back to paradise.
Run the risk,
Of losing my mind.

I'm flying so high,
That I hit the sun.
Maybe I'm terrified,
Of the fire that I've become.
Perhaps the stars shine,
To remind us,
We don't have that long.

Sweet Oblivion

All the things that I ever wanted,
Stupid dreams kept me alive.
All the goodness that I cared so much about,
My ideals let me down.

People talk evil eyes they stare,
Mouths can whisper I don't care.
When it's easy everybody's on your side,
When it's tough they'll change the lines.

Maybe love just isn't real,
And all the money in the world won't change the way you feel.
How do you feel?

When you break and it all comes undone,
You can't remember to laugh and learn.
Rushing thoughts that make no sense,
Sweet oblivion just to forget.
While the current pulls you down.

On your own.

Electric Shock Therapy

Here I am, waiting for the magic to come.
These four walls, are burning up,
The flames are reaching for the the sun.

I'm just a name on a clipboard,
A number on the door.
I'm the strange kind of man,
Your mother warned you of.
There's nothing to be sorry for.

I'm waiting for the magic to come.

Here I am, waiting for the heartbreak to come.
They'll electrify me, they won't care what I'll become.
They'll plug me into something,
Until I'm happy and I'm dumb.

I'm waiting for the magic to come.

To drive out all my demons and let the angels sing.

Sell the World

I had a dream,
That everyone loved everybody.
The sky was blue,
The earth was green,
The rivers deep,
The ocean clean.

Then the blood,
Started to run.
Before life,
Had even begun.

I had a friend,
With the greenest eyes
She couldn't pretend.
The world for a kiss,
The darkest kind of desire,
Upon her lips.

Then the sun,
Began to rise.
The stars were falling,
Right out of the sky.

I had a dream,
That everything,
Was simple and easy.
No-one lied,
And everyone tried.
To find the truth,
And set it free.

But money,
Made you and I a slave.
And man would sell his soul,
To be king for a day.

Dislocation

It's all too complicated,
Everything seems as if it's wrong.
It's all so over saturated,
Nothing good ever stays that way for long.

Nobody knows me,
Not really,
At all.

Everybody's talking,
Playing the part they were meant to play.
Laughing in the all the right places,
I can't believe in that at all.

If I could feel the same everyday,
I would.
If I could act the same everyday,
I would.

Nobody knows me,
Not really,
At all.

Parasite

How can I,
How can I explain?
There are no words,
For what I'm trying to say.
Maybe it's not me,
But the world,
That's insane.

Where has all the money gone,
No-one knows.

Looking from my window,
I can see the world.
All of the people,
Little boys and girls.
Every single one of us,
So many things to learn.

It's not me, that's what I'm trying to say.

How can I,
How can I describe?
Something that's a miracle,
But kills it's own kind.
A species of creation,
Living like a parasite.

Where has all the money gone?
No-one knows.

Do Some Good (Shame)

This is for everybody,
I know that I've been cruel.
This is for everybody,
For anytime I've done wrong to you.

But I can't help but see,
The light that shines on me.
And saves me from greed.

This is for nobody,
I have been that man.
This is for nobody,
It's bittersweet to understand.

I still don't know how to live,
I still don't know how to give.
I'd kill a man if I could,
I'd set the world on fire,
If I thought it would do some good.

The Truth / The Light

On my own,
There's no-one home.
I lost my mind,
Long ago.
I don't want to scratch or bite,
Or stay in the shadow's in the broad daylight.

I want to swim where all the rivers meet,
I want to share all the secrets I keep.

On my own,
There's no-one home.
So I just sit here
And play piano.
Let the spirit in,
And my soul take flight.
At the mercy of the devil,
Lord protect my tonight.

I want to swim in the deep ocean blue,
I want to walk in the light of the truth.

Everytime we meet it's just the same,
I'm blinded by the sun and I forget your name.
Standing by the mountain,
At the bottom once again.

I don't want to hide,
No, I just don't want to hide.
