how can i speak?
you've taken all the words
nothing to say
when you know you can't be heard
and silence isn't golden, it's absurd
but you won't give me the words
how can i live?
you've taken all the ways
nothing to do
just filling up the days
and this is not a role i choose to play
but i don't have a say
push me down but don't complain
if i don't join in your game

every hour, every day
isn't nature denied?
in a world where it rains
you're the sun in the sky
but i can't bear to see you
'cos i can't bear the pain
and i can't heal the wounds
'cos i still can't explain
why i feel like an alien
not part of the human race
when my heart wants to burst
at the sight of your face
i feel like i'm suffering
from a beautiful disease
when your sad pretty smile
brings me down to my knees
such a simple thing
it should be such a simple thing
you can call me confused
all that i can confess
is i can't come to terms
settle for something less
will i feel this emotion
till the day that i die?
and go to my grave
still wondering why
i feel like an alien...

Flight
love the night
don't know why it sounds so strange
but wind in trees
always makes me dream of change
and in this dream I fly
over childhood's homes
kiss the earth goodbye
rise above the life I've known
but world is hard
you could fall and really hurt yourself
and people far
much too far for help to ever come
safer just to fly
in some stupid dream
kiss the earth goodbye
rise above the man I've been

out of your clothes
i know it won't be long
god only knows
where this crazy thing comes from
it's not that i don't love you, i do
i've read all the definitions
think it must be true
it's like driving at night
when the illusion
i'm going somewhere
keeps me alive
driving at night
in this confusion
better to travel
never arrive
worried about
the future all the time
but there's no room for doubt
things'll work out fine
it's not that i don't want to, i do
got to spend this life with someone
might as well be you
it's like driving at night.....

autumn falls
everyone draws in and
twilight calls
and something feels so cold
it's not the freezing wind of winter
being near
it's just the fading into grey
of another year
and i'm walking down this shopping street
through families in the rain
and looking into babies' eyes again

won't be long before i'm old and i'd like
to think that i was in control of my life
but i can't make it change, can't break
the pattern
i'm waiting for an accident to happen
you're so beautiful i just have to laugh
you've got everything a girl could ever have
but how to tell you that i can't imagine
i'm waiting for an accident to happen
tried so hard to find a voice inside me
but nothing's like the ones i heard inspire me
all the words i thought i'd find i haven't
i'm waiting for an accident to happen

life's a bad movie i see it all coming
can't draw me in out of my disbelief
the purest emotion's just cheap imitation
can't get involved, get a moment's relief
life's a bad movie but i'm way past caring
so i'll sit and watch with a beer and some friends
together we'll laugh at the plot and the people
i know where it's going and how it will end

when everyone agrees with you
you know you're wrong
when everyone embraces you
you don't belong
nothing these days
means what it says
everything's gone grey
takes a life to live to learn
where love comes from
only takes three little words
to know it's gone
nothing these days
means what it says
everything's gone grey
if you don't want to know the score
then just turn away
back to the world where papers burn
and words decay
nothing these days
means what it says
everything's gone grey

pale and clear the light of dawn
evening's laughter long gone
even love a forgotten need
draw the shade and face the day
feel illusion float away
hold the dream and let it free
how many strangers d'you have to meet?
how many old friends d'you have to see?
with how many lovers d'you have to sleep?
to know that you're alone in all this world
feel the fear and let it pass
hear the questions no-one asks
close your eyes and let them see
how many strangers d'you have to meet?
how many times kneel at your god's feet?
with how many lovers d'you have to sleep?
to know that you're alone in all this world

so lay down your weary head
try and sleep now
calm your shallow little breath
be at peace now
another day calls out for you to make your own
this one goes where all the other days have flown
so lay down your weary head
be at peace now
try and sleep now
what does it mean to be loved?
cast away your darkest fears
be released now
still the pounding in your heart
be at peace now
may your dreams bring joy and wonder through the night
and the morning find you glad to be alive
cast away your darkest fears
be at peace now
be released now
what does it mean to be loved?
just lay down your weary head
be at peace now
try and sleep now

distant lies - calling you across the years
their voices loud - kind of loudness no-one hears
grown and twisted out of shape
they're so hard to recognise
but still they point a gun at you
make you be what you despise
distant lies - shallow dreams, confused ideas
once our hopes - now they anchor all our fears
spend your lifetime if you will
searching for the truth below
years of doubt and years of pain
and you still may never know
distant lies
lies of faith, lies of fame
distant lies
lies of love, lies of shame

20000 ft
The shadows of the clouds throw doubt across the land
you cannot always see the truth from where you stand
from 20000 ft everything is clear
been looking for a place to be and now I'm here
My fellow travellers don't feel the way I feel
they're reading books and drinking wine and making deals
at 20000 ft suspended in thin air
a world without them turns below and they don't care
But I can't escape the glory of this view
and somewhere in that teeming stillness must be you
but at 20000 ft my cold heart makes no sound
and if I had the chance I'd never come back down

at last the songs begin
the wait will soon be over
the faintest shade of light
a distant car
and i keep seeing you
crying in your room
waiting for the end
and i wonder if i'll ever sleep again

couldn't bear to see you, and turned away
thought of something else to say
hollow words will always get me through the day
feelings just get in the way
wish somebody would make me cry
wish somebody would break my heart
wish somebody would make me cry
pull my little world apart
the music's loud, i'm with my friends, i'm satisfied
another day goes down the slide
but if a gentle heart could set me free inside
i won't know until i've tried
wish somebody would make me cry
wish somebody would break my heart
wish somebody would make me cry
pull my stupid world apart

did you ever hear
inside your head
a little voice
rehearsing what you said
makes everything
feel so unreal
sometimes i think
there's no-one at the wheel
i long for truth
i'm filled with doubt
i can't explain
the things i care about
and often i
wonder what i'm supposed to feel
sometimes i think
there's no-one at the wheel

preachers, leaders, writers, teachers
friends and lovers, you and i
everyone a liar
and everything a lie
all of this will fall
fade away or burn
all of this will fall
nothing will return

saw an old friend just this evening
we go back a real long way
conversation kept returning
to the same old things we always say
getting tired of myself
wanna be someone else
and he asked me an opinion
and i couldn't say for sure
had a head full of ideas
don't care what i think no more
getting tired of myself
wanna be someone else
if only children knew
the lives their dreams eventually resolve to
i wonder what they'd do
saw another perfect stranger
would have once meant everything
didn't even raise an eyebrow
it's just the way it's always been
getting tired of myself
wanna be someone else

everything i say
feels like a foreign language
even my name
is just a pseudonym
don't know what i feel
just what i think i should be feeling
the world i see and hear
is not the world i'm in

At Least
so he lied and now your doubt burns like a flame
and you're crying wondering
if your love can ever be the same
and you're tearing up inside at all the heartlessness
he's shown
but at least you're not alone
so she needed more than you'd thought you would give
and you're empty like a shell and wondering what it means to live
and you're tearing up inside at all the chances that
you've blown
but at least you're not alone
so it's evening and I'm staring at the wall
and I start to wonder if my friends are ever gonna call
and I'm tearing up inside at all the silence I'm scared of
but at least I'm not in love

come so far that i can barely see
how i got to where i'm standing
thought that i'd be strong and i'd be free
but it's not the way i planned it
doubts remain....something's missing
didn't change and i thought it would
doubts remain....something's missing
i don't know if i understood
and all the crazy things i can't explain
always thought one day i'd find a book
and on page one it would be written down
really simple if you care to look
but doubts remain....something's missing
didn't change and i thought it would
doubts remain....something's missing
i don't know if i understood
but you can look and never find all the little pieces
or step back and admire whatever remains
so get your coat and step outside your door
lean your head right back and breathe the sky
let your heart be what it wants to be
kiss the ones you love and wave goodbye
doubts remain....something's missing
doesn't hurt like i thought it would
doubts remain....something's missing
i don't care if i understood
