BREAKDOWN
I think I’m heading for a breakdown
All the signs are clear
It’s just a matter of time now
Before the cracks appear
The room is getting much smaller
And nothing’s making sense
Either the world’s gone crazy
Or it’s all on my head
I look around for someone
But there’s nobody here
My family’s always a drama
And friends have disappeared
Maybe it’s my problem
I don’t know what’s wrong with me
But I can feel myself falling
And there’s no one here to catch me
Breakdown
I think I’m heading for a breakdown
I feel it coming and I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what to do
I wish there was an answer
From the sky above
I wish there was a purpose
I didn’t have to make up
I wish I wasn’t so lonely
I wish luck was on my side
Just got to keep on moving
It’s not like me to run and hide
If only I had someone, to keep me conscious
If only I had some way, to start again

Rainy Days

RAINY DAYS
Rainy days, bringing back my yesterdays
Like shadows falling and memories calling back the pain
Before I know, I’m all alone, rattling round inside my soul
Sure the walls are closing in around me
Rainy days, never both to explain
Just leave you stranded, feeling half a world away
And all the things that I would change
If I had the chance to start again
If only there was someone else to blame
And I know, rainy days will come and go
And I know, they shouldn’t have such a hold
But I lose my way, on rainy days
And pages torn, and nails rust
and mornings burn while warning us
If I close my eyes it might not hurt so much
And I know, rainy days come and go
And I know, they shouldn’t have such a hold
But I lose my way, on rainy days

Here we go again

HERE WE GO AGAIN
‘Cause every time we talk baby
We walk the edge of a razor blade
And every time we get crazy
We show up on the richter scale
Banging heads, you’re infuriating
You logic don’t make no sense
Back and forth, you start your rambling
And I got no patience
Here we go again, screaming and shouting
Feel like it must be over
Here we go again, sometimes I want out
But I ain’t going nowhere
Here we go again
I’m not your knight, in shining armor
I’m not your perfect chic-flick man
I’m not the one you used to dream of
Little girl making big girl plans
You can try, but you cannot change me
Dress me up like a little dog
Try to get me to play happy family
Try to get me to sing along
And then you cry, begging me
(Then you're begging me)
I don’t know why you’d think I’d leave
(I want ever leave)
I won’t walk out on you tonight
(I won't walk out)
Friction makes the fire that keeps us alive

On your Side

ON YOUR SIDE
I’m on your side
You can scream and shout and get it off your mind
I’m on your side
You can be yourself and leave the world outside
When the world
Is heavy on your shoulders
And you can’t find nowhere, to catch a break
When the days seem to run together
and all the colours turn to grey
I’m on your side
You can scream and shout and get it off your mind
I’m on your side
You can be yourself and leave the world outside
When you’re lonely in a crowded room
and everyone but you, wears a smile
When it feels as if everyone is against you all the time
I’m on your side
I’m on your side
You can scream and shout and get it off your mind
I’m on your side
You can be yourself and leave the world outside
I’m on your side
You can bitch and curse for what it’s worth tonight
I’m on your side
They’ll have to get through me to get to you this time
I'm on your side, and I'll bleed for you tonight
close your eyes, close your eyes

Lonely for you

LONELY FOR YOU
Well I wait day & night
For a chance to make everything right
But you’re gone and I’m alone
Suspended here like a lingering note
I pushed you away
I closed my eyes and let our love go astray
Now I’m empty
I’m just an outline of who I used to be
And now I’m lonely for you
You know I’m lonely for you
Forever lonely for your love
Well I know it’s my fault
I can’t believe I ever let you go
You always had my back
You were the one who loved me as I am
And now I’m lonely for you
You know I’m lonely for you
Forever lonely for your love
And now I’m lost without you
Forever lost without your love
And now I hunger for you
Forever hungry for your love
And now I’m lonely for you
You know I’m lonely for you
Forever lonely for your love

Remember

REMEMBER
I passed the 24 and found a place to rest
It was quiet and warm I just had to clear my head
Ordered a coffee and a slice of something sweet
And while I waited I wandered in a daydream
Where did I go wrong and how did I get here?
This weight that I’ve been under is more than I can bare
Opened the letter that I’d read a thousand times
I had carried it with me ever since she died
Remember who you are
It was you that got this far
Remember what it’s all about
It’s up to you what happens now
Well it’s easier said than done, wish I could argue with her now
But she’s gone and I am here, alone in the early hours
I don’t know bout tomorrow, I barely made today
I feel like I am fading away
Remember who you are
It was you that got this far
Remember what it’s all about
It’s up to you what happens now
And if it all falls apart I’ll move to somewhere warm
Earn a little money, live right near the shore
Wine and woman, salt air and sunsets
And eventually I will forget
Eventually I will forget

Full Speed Ahead

FULL SPEED AHEAD
This time, last time
Turn up in your own time
Taxi, take me
Don’t you navigate me
Table, Taco
Lost in my Mojito
I want to be alone
Full speed ahead, Full speed ahead
Forget the consequences
Full speed ahead, Full speed ahead
Forget the consequences
Full speed ahead
Burn up, cut down
Feed the full and praise the proud
Progress, industry
Begging for my purse strings
Pull me, push me
All to benefit me
Everyone alone
Full speed ahead, Full speed ahead
Forget the consequences
Full speed ahead, Full speed ahead
Forget the consequences
Full speed ahead
Plug me, charge me
I’m so low on batteries
Serve me, deserve me
No one is beneath me
Bright lights, high life
They say the world is doomed
That’s enough I’m going home

Wake Me

WAKE ME
Well it’s true, yeah it’s true
I don’t know what the hell I’m going to do
If I knew, I would move
I would just get on but…
I, oh I, have run right off the fucking edge this time
And the air beneath my feet, is sobering
Wake me, when you can tell me something good
Wake me, when I won’t be misunderstood
Wake me, when I can find somewhere I will belong oh oh oh
Please, oh please
Don’t leave me here among the autumn leaves
I hate to need you now, but god I need you now
I’m in hell
Between the smiles and laughter I have fallen down
If I knew how
I would turn it all around
Wake me…
Test the hand of fate, throw it all away
Caution to the wind, start over again
And when the changes come, with their loaded guns
Ready to do their worst, make sure you fire first
Wake me…

Keep the fire alive

KEEP THE FIRE ALIVE
Keep the fire alive
Keep the fire alive
Don’t lose your nerve, don’t lose your fight
Hold on to the day
Don’t give yourself away
Keep the fire alive inside
Oh, they’ll tell you
Yeah they’ll teach you
And try to make you see
Oh, they’ll love you, and they’ll hold you
And never let you leave
Keep the fire alive…
Oh, tell them, you’re leaving
You’re not waiting anymore
No more talking, endless talking
You’re already out the door
No, I don’t want to hear, there’s nothing left for us to be
I don’t want to know, I’m not gong to listen
I won’t regret, and they can’t have me
Keep the fire alive…
