thought life was like a diary
begun the day you're born filled with crazy writing up to the latest dawn and reaching out from there towards the page you'd never turn the empty days the fate you'd still to learn thought life was like a diary begun the day you're born but nothing this confusing could be so clearly drawn and today i saw it in a different light and my heart sank the days to come were filled the days gone, blank |

sometimes a word emerges
out of the silent stream that runs beneath opinion illusion of the waking dream we are not what we seem something prevents me looking it must be for the best but still the half-heard whisper reminds me that i've failed the test to know your own unrest i know a choice is coming for peace or honesty pour concrete on the footprints from everything that you might be love will set you free |

sorry I didn't like your point of view
didn't mean to upset you or hurt you find it hard to tell those sweet little lies always finding fault when i could compromise i just want a perfect world sorry i don't see life the way you do if i could i'd be just the same as you every day parade the things i feel inside not be frightened by the doubt that i can't hide i just want a perfect world something beautiful preserved and to take what we've been given's a trick i've never learned so the world falls off around you you're standing on the edge know you'll fall it just hasn't happened yet and there's no-one left to catch you and even if there were you're not sure you could repay such a debt but i just can't seem to shake the old pursuits of youth simple need to be the seeker after truth i just want a perfect world dumbest thing you ever heard but to take what we've been given's a trick i've never learned |

some feelings seem to burn too deeply
blow out and don't return completely and it's all some dumb cliche years getting in the way somehow somehow it marks the choice before you what you were raised to be or want to and it's all some dumb cliche solved everywhere each day somehow somehow the time must come to pass on but every year becomes the last one and it's all some dumb cliche that haunts you every day somehow half your life has gone |

long beyond our time
all of us we see the perspectives we were never meant to see hardest of them all is to know we're free is to know that we were never meant to be only love can save and we admit defeat to the fate that we were never meant to cheat all of us we see never meant to see |

try to find a way

always this
same and different always this taken given and never thought of change still the song remains if i'm gonna shed the second skin i've always worn think it's gonna be the strangest thing i've ever done but holding on to some past present is holding back and future isn't made for those who wait better never than late if i'm gonna shed the second skin i've always worn think it's gonna be the hardest thing i've ever done and still the shame to come restrains hold me in these gentle arms until this chance has gone |

last bus sails away
and night calls an end to another day no more you can do to fight the things you need to get you through someone to be strong some belief that on the way some peace could be found we're all the same as the last bus sails away last bus sails away and everything you were falls away only this remains always underneath our tired games clear eyed or confused a quiet heart still feels the same angered or amused we're lost again as the last bus sails away |

january sky like a slate wiped clean
and stillness of air where nothing has been wait for your word as if to say another last chance lives from today happy new year the world just keeps turning day into night night into day holding on tight millions all hoping something like love will light up the way dying for change but the feeling won't last summer will come and be over too fast grow into sun fade into rain a miniature life to live over again happy new year the world just keeps going tumbling round screaming through space holding on tight millions all hoping something like love will light up their face happy new year to everyone hurting praying this time it all becomes clear here when the light is pale and uncertain happy new year happy new year |
