if
if the little things
that can lead me to thinking i’m a freak
are much the same little things
that can lead you to thinking you’re a freak
and i’m thinking that they are
then maybe they’re just....things
and being a freak doesn’t come into it
that can lead me to thinking i’m a freak
are much the same little things
that can lead you to thinking you’re a freak
and i’m thinking that they are
then maybe they’re just....things
and being a freak doesn’t come into it

urban primate
if a monkey’s throwing poo at you
don’t make it personal
perspectively
it’s bound to throw poo
it’s a monkey
that’s what they do
don’t make it personal
perspectively
it’s bound to throw poo
it’s a monkey
that’s what they do

landlocked
it was time i felt to launch a love offensive
i had a keen eye and was stable on my feet
with lessons carried through i claimed to know a thing or two
so i had never set a plan for my defeat
prowling through the jungle calling conquest and flushing game
i expected lovebirds or a dove before the night
but love, will not be hunted
within this truth a vital lesson to defer a hearts regret
don't expect to catch a bird when it's clearly still in flight

riptide
there's a crack in my mind where lucid me is leaking out
while everything seems normal now everything is in doubt
i don't know how to bridge the breach that's causing me to see
a crack too wide with a flow too strong to save a lucid me
while everything seems normal now everything is in doubt
i don't know how to bridge the breach that's causing me to see
a crack too wide with a flow too strong to save a lucid me

static
how could i know if what
i've lost is worth reclaiming
if i didn't look at what i had
when it was mine
it took a little time to see the past
was not sustaining
i'd been constricted by a
vision ill defined
another angel cries as she
collapses at my feet
her shoulders bear the weight
of my imagined crimes
she says that i've spent way too long
looking over my shoulder
and now i'm due to walk
the other side of time
( that's the last of the edited ink lads and lasses.
thanks for not snoring too...

fallacy burns
i failed to see the fallacy of a love
that's interwined
and kept my self available to the back
door of my mind
i was fighting with an ego
as lust held the inner rooms
this fallacy i refused to rate
has a legacy of ruins
with an honest will i set my task in
hope the love unwound
through smoke and ash i could not deny the
damage that i found
i could not bear my actions being the
destruction of honest trust
through ashen tears i fought the rising flames
lit by the fallacy of lust
that's interwined
and kept my self available to the back
door of my mind
i was fighting with an ego
as lust held the inner rooms
this fallacy i refused to rate
has a legacy of ruins
with an honest will i set my task in
hope the love unwound
through smoke and ash i could not deny the
damage that i found
i could not bear my actions being the
destruction of honest trust
through ashen tears i fought the rising flames

blind piper
i like to sing the songs for you
that you love to hear me sing
i'm so sorry that i can only do this for you now and then
because you know i don't always see the picture the way that it's been painted
the colours so often run and soon it's grey again
that you love to hear me sing
i'm so sorry that i can only do this for you now and then
because you know i don't always see the picture the way that it's been painted
the colours so often run and soon it's grey again

insomnia
so as they've laid him down to sleep
their night will hold not 'ere a peep
as he laid there waiting wired awake
for the first trill cries of a world at hate
the fall of one gave rise to the next
set of pathways that lead him away from the nest
and a laugh is a cry once you've cried till you laughed
nine stitches sewn in to save time for the past
searing holes through his soul cigar burns of sorrow
in yesterday's nightmares are the cries of tomorrow
kicking so hard to get out of the shallows
a life saving hand pulled him into...

love cohesion
i've spoken words i've not heard myself say
and had arms around me that were not felt
i've been an obstruction without being in the way
and i've lost with the winning card dealt
i've sailed across oceans with no water in sight
and drowned in a vast desert sky
i've argued the point until wrong became right
and made love in the face of a lie
i've stumbled drunk without touching a drink
and set fire to a forest with no trees
convincing myself to ignore what i think
i've murdered from down on my knees
i've wandered for years in insomniac...

there are those beyond our means
we are beyond the means of some
in the dark our screams all mean the same
and by this means we are one
we are beyond the means of some
in the dark our screams all mean the same
and by this means we are one
