Here again
In this world
I’ll be confused.
Abusing my senses,
Playing out my fate.
My stomach hurts
With the lack
My passion burns
Outta control.
Here I go again
Tripping over words
Here I go again
It’s my eternal curse
Here I go again
Will this ever end?
Here I go again, here I go again
Here I go again.
It always sneaks up on me
Try to deny
Ignore the feelings, ignore the signs
I watch where I step,
But I have regrets.
Avoided confrontation,
Avoided the situation.

Polaroid
Bear the pressure a little more
Relax settle the score
They’ll miss you anyways
Sweating out sarcastic ways
Love’s but an addictive phase,
Rehab for the rest of your days.
Step outside reverse the roles
Break down walls/ destroy the mould.
Beauty living inside your mirror
Cancelling out the outside seers.
Time can heal all, fill the void,
Remedy’s in magazines, pills and Polaroid’s.
So tired of showing off,
Think I’ll meet you artificial bluff.
Cut you’ll see that I will bleed,
Feed your soul, fill your need.
24
Shadows in my soul, buried to deep to see.
I found myself lost in a dream..
Trying to wake up, just trying to scream..
And I watch the storm on my T.V..
I’m wondering where I am
My empty two four’s in my hands.
Staring back at you.
Will keep me from hiding
Cause you’re the biggest deception,
The best reason to keep drinking.
Can you still taste me on your lips,
Or feel my weight upon your hips.
And can you still smell me in your skin,
Does it come around when you’re feeling down, call me back in, back in.
Loneliness ain’t being alone.
It’s when thousands are around and not one face it to be found.
Loneliness is being stuck in a crowd, knowing you’ll never be found.
By the one, by the one…..you need right now…
November
I feel,
So small
The news is sinking in,
So Small
My head is emptying
So, so small
My brain is freezing
So so small
The World is
Burning, burning, burning.
La la la la la la
I feel,
So small,
Prop 8 is hating
So small,
Humans regressing,
So, so small
My heart is breaking
So so small
The cancer’s
Killing, killing killing
La la la la la la
Une fleur devient poussière
Une ville réduite en cendres
Il fait froid sans ta lumière
Un mois, une nuit, novembre.
The Stranger Ones
We’re so young we have things to prove
You look at us, we look at you
It’s not lie, We’re not a lie
We’re not so different, we’re not so plain.
Similar in our differences it’s all the same.
It’s still the same.
We’re not Strangers anymore
We’re not the Strange ones anymore
You’re so young you have things to prove
You talk at us, we talk to you
Are you a lie, you’re but a lie
It’s so easy not to understand
Tolerance was always your plan
It’s not a plan, it’s not a plan.
We’re not Strangers Anymore
We’re not the Strange ones Anymore
So get your ass on the dance floor
And get up and Dance
And Shut up and Dance
Corporate Convict
Never thought I would be,
Stuck in this financial institution.
I was only trying,
To help my own personal situation.
Everything has it’s price
My house, my car, my big fat promotion
Didn’t even think twice
What I did can be called prostitution
I sold my soul, I sold my soul.
I sold my soul, I sold my soul
To the big bad Power Corporation.
Everyone had their ways
Of dealing with their own, their deepest convictions.
I know some people pray
God to send them undeserved salvation.
Psychopaths: Let’s go through the characteristics that define this particular disorder One by one and see how they might apply to corporations.
The psychopath’s relations with others are superficial:
The idea is to impress then manipulate.
You never really get to know the real psychopath/corporation.
The psychopath also lacks empathy.
And doesn’t accept responsibility
For his, her, it’s own behaviour.
Psychopaths tend to be impulsive but in a fairly controlled sense, Don’t have long term goals, The things that they’re striving for are short term.
What they’re doing with respect to the general public And to other companies would clearly be looked at, Viewed as, or construed as asocial.
Anti-social.
They just don’t really care.
There are some corporations that clearly are Operating at a level that is disastrous to the general public.
Putting everybody’s lives at risk. Now it would be pretty hard For us not to look at the corporate structure itself as not being psychopathic
Chorus and end.

The Arc
Who are you?
Sitting up there on your throne?
Looking down on existence,
Like we could all be drowned.
You’re so high and mighty,
You don’t even understand.
One life’s worth a million,
And they we’re crushed by his hands.
Cause you’re not wanted on this voyage,
You’re not wanted on this ship.
You can stand their waving,
As the Arc begins to lift.
What’ll you do dear Noah,
If your walls come crashing down?
And you’re the last one
Left standing on firm ground.
Little do you know
That there’s an angel in your midst
She maybe the devil
But she wields the sweetest kiss.
All you see is pirates as you look into the sea
Blinded by your ignorance,
Blinded by divinity.
All feet are anchored,
As the wind begins to shift.
Holding onto each other,
Will the cruelty persist?
You kneel down to pray
To the one you used to know.
Their comes no answer,
He’s no longer a player in this show.
About You
Withdrew without a sound
Backing away.
Hands up you win
Lost it all, in a sin.
In just a breath she said
Your loneliness is my home.
It hurt’s inside,
You could feel, now you can’t.
Now I see it’s all about you, all about you.
And you said, well can’t you see
It’s all about me.
It’s all about you.
She called last night
I know I promised but can you wait awhile.
I’d take it back if I could
But it would hurt so bad, hurt so bad.
You try to no avail
Love weighed by scale
Glass half empty not half full.
Make’s me wanna think myself under it all.
I feel it
I try but it’s not so easy anymore
To lift my hopes up to where they were before.
We used to honour our neighbour’s pride,
Now all we do is step aside.
I feel it, I feel it coming down.
It’s raining down on me
I feel it, I feel it now.
Destroyed their land with fear and hate
The people didn’t know their own fate.
Uneducated , no morals no consciousness
They live in their power men bliss.
Cheated your people in their state
Declared war for oil’s sake
Blamed it all on terrorist
As the wounded raised their fists.
I know we’re all to blame
Didn’t see you plans of fame
Don’t- you- feel-Ashamed?
Thicker
The soothing sound of traffic,
To remind me that I’m not all alone.
Everything seems thicker now,
Feeling it just a little bit more.
Like the sting of the wind hitting your face,
A slamming door.
The critical mess of me,
Reaching out to touch like a child.
Discovering my reflexion for the first time,
I never knew what I was going to find.
Cause everything seems thicker now,
Ever since you came around.
Everything is thicker now,
Ever since you came around, you came around.
I don’t love, I need.
I don’t understand, I analyze.
I avert my eyes and discuss compromise.
I don’t feel, I peel away at it,
Like it was my itch, forget it, forget it.
Blushing like a girl,
Playing with my curls,
Acting out my nervousness,
With giggles and allergy pills.
I couldn’t discover me,
So I tried discovering
Who you could be.
I’m really sorry, I’m so sorry.
I’ve displaced me replaced me
I couldn’t embrace me
Someday I’ll sustain me
I’ll stop blaming me and I’ll claim me.
And I’ll claim me.
