Like an Omen

Hey, this sounds familiar,
I feel like we might have heard this one before,
It's pain yet it shouldn't kill ya,
But you might wake up feeling a little sore,
Sweet and bitter moments,
Like a soldier, holed up, thankful he's not dead,
Treat it like an omen,
You can sleep at night but they're still inside your head
Hey, you're a memory,
And your memory confuses me still,
Oh you're a memory,
And your memory, it uses me still,
Roll around in circles,
Chase your tail but it's always out of reach,
And so it's all internal,
Like a master left with no-one else to teach,
(Remember)
Been trying hard not to remember,
(Remember)
But it's not easy to forget,
(Remember)
Drift inside a dreaming window
(Remember)
Another chance for me to...
(Remember)

Get Over It
03:59

A conspiracy if you think through it,
Take it from me, I wouldn't trust just anyone
It's their policy and we can prove it,
It's there to see,
We'll lose it all if nothing's done,
Be careful, what you read is buried in agendas
That fuel that the lies and greed,
I tell ya that they're all the same,
An apology? Well they won't get one,
No, not from me,
I never did them any wrong,
Don't tell me just to "get over it"
I've heard the facts,
Well, that's your opinion,
We're under attack,
They're taking over everywhere,
I'm sick and tired or having to give more,
Of having to give up,
We seem to give 'em everything.

Old Man Leather Hands

Old Man Leather Hands,
Saviour of the lands,
The fire retarder,
Revolution starter,
The crisis resolver,
Cryptic crossword solver
Old Man Leather Hands,
The beating of hearts,
The turning of heads,
You see, he shouldn't be,
But he is,
And there he goes,
Old Man Leather Hands,
He's a master plan,
The resistance fighter,
The peace pipe igniter,
Appliance installer,
The On-Field sports caller,
The beating of hearts,
The turning of heads,
You see, he shouldn't be,
But he is,
And there he goes,
The winding of time,
The hope in a tragedy,
Everyone sees him 'round,
But no-one knows...

Alan

Alan stood staring at the sky with a troubled face,
Why couldn't people see there was nothing holding it in place?
He just couldn't understand what kept it up at all
Was the fact that everyone else thought it would never fall,
Poor Alan grew clouds behind his eyes,
And tiptoed ever closer to that line,
Alan looked out the window of his high-rise office floor,
And he cringed as the sky had unhinged just that little more,
He tried to warn them numerous times but theyd avert their gaze,
Tut-tuts, mutters, shut doors, turn-arounds and walk-aways,
Can't you see? The sky will fall.
I seem so different, but I'm not,
Can't you see? The sky will fall.
It doesn't matter who you are!
Alan made a decision and he knew just what to do,
He'd expose all the naysayers to the ugly truth,
As they filed out the lifts to the car park,
In one final try,
Down rained Alan and the broken pieces of a falling sky...
Poor Alan grew clouds behind his eyes,
(They stood and stared up at the pieces of the broken, falling sky)
And then he tripped over that line,
(Why didn't he speak of the line?)
The line...

Here It Is
04:45

|
In the borders and frames,
Within all the lines,
In the colours and shades,
In a companion's eyes,
Looking under rocks,
Turning over bricks,
To find nothing there,
Nothing ever sticks,
You've been searching now for so long,
And now here it is...
We all know where this has come from,
So now here it is...
Underneath the bed,
On the highest shelf,
In the search for love
And in the depths of hell,
Somewhere in the shed,
In the dirty clothes,
Somewhere at the lake,
Wound down windows,
There you are...
And here it is...
