lllllthe gapsllll
eyes closed, doesn't matter, there's nothing to see,
my mind's imaginationwrites pictures for me,
from what's real to what's not is the greatest fiction told,
who's to say that life ain't a dream.
i'm dreaming - i'm seeing for the first time,
with eyes closed i see a whole lot more,
life ain't the big things, the visible shit,
life isthe gapsin between.

all dressed up and nowhere to go
two brown shoes so shiny and new,
never been worn before
but with nowhere to go and nothing to see
i think i'll keep them in their box.

dukes
life is good, i'm living a dream
but not a sleepwalking life like i've lived before,
life was always a lot more fun whenever i did a bit more.
it's an open heart to the world
so the world is open to me
because when i've been closed
and insular
and hid myself away
it was the world that shut me out,
i shut myself.
but here i am, a mug of beer,
blowing smoke into the atmosphere,
looking to the distance -
no longer as a chance to escape
but a simple contemplation of the magnitude of life,
it's big, but it's as big as you make it....
but not a sleepwalking life like i've lived before,

life to live
memories and idle dreams,
there is no adventure in my life
and i know why -
too much thinking not enough living,
there's no love or heartache to inspire,
i too much hide,
there's nothing in my soul to say i'm alive.
only written words i read in books and things
i journey in my mind
but that's no life.
pure blood and water coursing through my veins,
no secrets to reveal
from behind my shield,
it's bubble living, nothing here is real.
there's nothing in my soul,
it's all stuck in my mind,
well i know how i'm going to...
there is no adventure in my life

stop and take a look around
no one ever told me how to really be a man,
i was lost in a world so strange,
so i learnt from books and films and eyes,
i was nurtured from the page.
forgot i was ever someone's child,
that someone ever wanted me born,
in world full of shit and caesium's time
i was left at destiny's door.
i make mistakes, i'm learning lessons,
i always teach myself,
i still haven't taken destiny by the scruff of the cunt
or written stories to tell.
just sat inert, a darkened room,
unravelling like a thread
but i'm looking up with open...

nothing to fear
it's an early morning and the world is asleep,
i know for one it's been a busy week
and though i feel sleepy there's an energy stirring,
surging through my veins, a low threshold for pain.
i'm dreaming one of those dreams where i know that i'm dreaming
and i feel though i've been here before,
prognosis, foresee, it's visionary imaging,
yeah i've definitely been here before.
we know you can't be afraid of what you can't see
so you cannot fear the future,
walking right now no need to fear what's around the corner.
if the world's oppressive and...

everything but nothing
frustration's got me trapped in a vice
of impotence, numbness - sense has no touch,
i've been humbled by actions that mean so much
then never seem to mean enough
and i lose myself in the ether
of all the shit that floats round around my head
but it's not that hard to find again
just stop and look and recover,
again - fuck it,
there's no book of rules and laws and conditions,
can only learn from too many mistakes
but never enough to make.

start again tomorrow
i've been living like a bum again,
i've been drinking too much beer again,
i need to sleep,
lay my heavy feet.
this girl has left me blue again,
i'm sitting all alone again,
my liver's in pain,
my heart is the same.
i've lost my way,
i feel bad today,
my life is grey,
i'm feeling low,
got to kick start my life
again tomorrow.
i've wandered off my track again,
my body feels like shit again,
i'm thinking about my life
and how to live it right.
i'm thinking about this girl again,
supposed to be with me again,...
i've been drinking too much beer again,
i need to sleep,
lay my heavy feet.
this girl has left me blue again,
i'm sitting all alone again,
my liver's in pain,
my heart is the same.

the fall and rise
this is not a depression,
i want to live more than ever,
i want to have ideas and bring them to life,
to my life all for the better,
the better to stretch my existence out,
to stretch the strings of my heart
and if i stretch them so much, that they snap,
that they break,
no problem, go back to the start.

atlasless
lost in time, lost in space,
lost in a world with a forgettable face,
drifted, shifted, loose limbed lost,
floated through the ether, never stuck on the spot
of a turgid, placid, vacuous nought,
no thought idea, no idea thought
that shackled down a one look town,
no break out script,
mannacled by love and companionship.
lost in time, lost in space,
little boy lost in a journey escape,
drifting, shifting, scenery change,
little world life on the stony cold way
with bitten tongues and scratched starts,
slates cleaned and...

american girl
she said wisconsin,
i said - oh yeah, in the mid-west,
she looked pleased, i was ecstatic,
it was a glorious guess.

f**k philosophy - part 2
i've been suffering for my philosophy
like kierkegaard and nietzsche
but that didn't give them peace of mind
and it don't give me none either.
so time to stop thinking of existence,
time to just exist,
i'm here, i'm me, no philosophy,
all i have to do is live.
