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.

Barred Ft Joe Duggan

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

Pop Cult Ft Gavin Curran

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,
