Kidnap my youth  Chopping my roots Kidnap my youth  Chopping my roots GONE IN A HEARTBEAT  HOME WITH NO GLORY  BACK IN THIS TIME TELLING THE STORY THE MIRRORS ARE CRACKING THR WALLS ARE CRUMBLING THE NAILS ARE SCRAPING THE WINDOWS ARE GAPING THE VOICES ARE SCREAMING THE BODY IS WRITHING THE BREATH IS ESCAPING SOUL SLOWLY BREAKING THE SEASONS ARE CHANGING MIND STUCK IM RAGING IM RIPPING UP PAGES THE SPIRITS DERANGING AND ALL THAT IM BEARING THERE’D NO TIME SHARING THERE'S WEEKS WITHOUT TALKING THE DEMONS ARE STALKING

The city's hungover; multicoloured doors closed over people going nowhere, locked down with memories and fantasies Neon green lazer beams, you and me: Dark n' Stormy and Sex on the Beach. World's away from this cold grey street to where my heart feels deeper than a beat a beat under bare feet. When I dream: you dancing on the terrace in the rising heat, sun kissing skin; this is it this is everything. Your eyes and the ocean, your lips. We'll never feel so free again. Take this old town for that Old Town (rpt) It's why we survive Take this old town for that Old Town (rpt) It's where we're alive It's where we are live. Hold my hand & we'll walk world's away from this cold grey street, maybe to Cafe Del Mar, watch the sunset with strangers, the stars. You dancing on the terrace in the rising heat No distance dividing us, nothing but love around here, legendary stories writing themselves everywhere in this dream. We'll never feel so free again.

You’re barred Barred from your friends Barred form the fun Barred form the one You were thinking you might be getting somewhere with If only you weren’t barred You’re barred from the conversation Barred form the socialisation Barred from the celebration Barred from the songs Barred form the dance Barred from the chance that you might of had And you’re afraid to go back Incase she’s there And she sees you getting turned away So you may go back during the day With your cap in your hand And your tail between your legs And your best shirt And a sensible friend That could put in a good word And it might be ok Just as long As that other barman isn’t on And doesn’t say go away You’re barred Barred for life Barred from the life Barred the word twists like a knife As you squirm on the stool Of another bar that’s not that far But its not the local And these people would be alright If you were looking for a quiet night But they’re not your people So you may go back to the staff And tell them it was just a laugh And say you’ll behave And hope to be forgave And promise you’ll start in line Most of the time Just to get back on your stool At the end of the bar For a couple of jars And say its good to be back And catch up on the craic And for the rest of this quiet night You’ve got to sip on your quiet pint And think about how hard to is to be barred Go away you’re barred You’re barred from the conversation Barred form the socialisation But for the rest of this quiet night You’ve got to sip on your quiet pint And think about how hard it is to be barred

surroundings  around you like shackles bind you can you explain what’s to gain voices  violated  into darkness disintegrated  will you explain what are we to gain it shook you it took you by surprise disruptions little painful corruptions  here and there to the brain  to your mind a heartfelt change  is yet to come awoken soon to be spoken vivid so alive unbroken hidden truth one of a kind surroundings around you like wonders find you arising  from within surroundings around you like wonders find you from within what is the intent  in circles we turn to our knees we bend surroundings around you like wonders find you

Welcome to the planet, my child Wild west of the Milky Way. Before you undertake this trip, know every inch of you’s a latent controversy from the hair on your head , to the spots on your chin the colour of your cradle, the shade of your skin; always someone willing to forge weapons against them. Looking to shatter you so they can name the scars for you spawning sickness so they can sell the cure to you …despite the million quid pitch our bodies are temples in the god complexes of the rich but money’ll never have the power to make the earth spin. Child, teach me how to imagine a greater power than this fear of an equal planet Fear is profit, profit is ravenous: a dark mirror held up to the hearts of all of us tightrope walking on this world wide web. Weaving spiders can never be sated, may you grow to be an ever-loving bane of their existence: together we will live in our power much greater than this. Greater than the terror of the bigots in high office strength to dig as deep as we need to withstand the storms of their greed, on this wild trip may you go armed with love and true grit may your heart be an equal planet To love yourself is radical Essential to your arsenal Your body is a castle Whole within and of itself nothing they can sell to us will fortify our spirit like it does. To greet the world fearless with no division within: oh what a vision, how Utopian to think but it’ll never happen those whose being depends on the poison keep saying. But you, my child may you be built different, be an ever-loving bane of their existence may your heart be an equal planet.

What is it gonna be this time? Fix me a drink and I’ll feel fine. Oh, when I’m down and my thoughts get caught in the clouds Wish I knew how to stop taking the easiest way out. Is there a way to face what I’m running from? If time is a healer I need more, More. Is there a way Is there a way To stop messing with my mind the way I do? If time is a healer I need more, More. The harder the fall, the more I need to forget it all. The harder the fall, the more I need to forget it all. Promise myself it’s the last time I’ll reach for the pills just to unwind. When it’s too loud and my thoughts get caught up in doubt Need to slow down ‘cause I’m breaking from the inside out. Is there a way to face what I’m running from? If time is a healer I need more, More. Is there a way Is there a way To stop messing with my mind the way I do? If time is a healer I need more.

I am numb Waiting for your love I’ve waited so long in your silence Can’t you see what it’s doing to my mind It’s not enough Not enough I need your answers In the way that only you know how to give. There’s rain in my heart There’s rain in my heart I’m lost in your silence I don’t know where we are I’m pleading for guidance Lead me out of the dark The day’s bleeding into the night Feeling nothing inside Lead me back to the light I’m lost in the silence Of your heart. I am numb Waiting for your love It’s what you don’t say That’s starting to play with my head How do I know if you ever loved me? My body aches For every moment I wait I can’t let go ‘Cause I will want you always I’m lost in your silence I don’t know where we are I’m needing your guidance Lead me out of the dark The day’s bleeding into the night Feeling nothing inside Lead me back to the light I’m lost in the silence Of your heart. There’s rain in my heart There’s rain in my heart

Sometimes I get the feeling Sometimes I feel the pain Sometimes I see you changing Sometimes I do the same Something so right Something so wrong Its breaking your heart It took me so long It seemed like I cared Its because we were scared The love that we had Was a thing to beware Something so right Something so wrong Sometimes Sometimes Sometimes Sometimes I feel the pain Sometimes Sometimes Sometimes I feel the pain Sometimes Sometimes Sometimes I feel the pain Sometimes I feel the pain Sometimes I feel the pain Sometimes I do the same Sometimes I feel the pain

You see me there  Acting like I just don't care But the truth is  I really don't I comb my hair And makes you look  And stop and stare I only see you If you love me too much I'm only willing to come out When I get the message  From my Commander I'm not emotional  I'm not emotional  I'm not emotional  This is just a pop cult This is just a pop cult Its just a Pop Cult I shave legs Put on makeup you bow down and beg I'm only worshiped  Cause I'm what you're not I'm not emotional  I'm not emotional  I'm not emotional  I'm not emotional  This is just a pop cult This is just a pop cult Its just a Pop Cult I'm not emotional  I'm not emotional  I'm not emotional  I'm not emotional  This is just a pop cult Its just a Pop Cult

You never know, What’s going on inside, No you never know, What a person’s trying to hide, No you never know, What sleeps behind that door, You may think you know, But you never can be sure, Take a bow, You made it through another day, You may ask your self how, You found another word to say, No nothing is real, When nothing ever makes you feel, Dig deep beneath your skin, You’ll find that feeling deep within, You never know, No you never know, You never know, No you never know, I’m all you are, I’m all you see, I’m all the things that you’ll ever be (I’m you, I’m you) My constant presence it never wains, I’m the blood that flows throughout your veins (I’m you, I’m You) Nothing’s changed, It’s just the same, another day, Maybe I feel rain, Maybe I feel sun I say, I don’t feel a thing, But maybe I feel everything, You never cry, you never grin, You never let those people in, You never know, What’s going on inside, No you never know, What a person’s trying to hide, No You never know, What sleeps behind that door, You may think you know, But you never can be sure, Take a bow, You made it through another day, You may ask your self how, You found another word to say, No nothing is real, When nothing ever makes you feel, Dig deep beneath your skin, You’ll find that feeling deep within, You never know, No you never know, You never know, No you never know,
