dig for victory

From the album Homunculus Nov 2019

Since the day you smiled at me

I can't erase it from my

Memory

I keep thinking about you

Wishing I could spend my time

Swimming deep into your

Beautiful brown eyes

Getting lost at sea for eternity but

You look right through me

I try but all I seem to gain

Is your complete disdain

I'm a sucker for the pain

Knock me down and I come right back again

(Well) I can play the waiting game

I'm a patient man and

I have got a cunning plan

To overcome these

Obstacles before my feet

Build a beacon, shine a

Light into this dead end street

Throwing shapes and hoping for a

Breakthrough, Eureka moment

A planetary alignment

A chain reaction but I'm

Standing in the rain

Knock me down and I come right back again

You look right through me

I try but all I seem to gain

Is your complete disdain

I'm a sucker for the pain

Knock me down and I come right back again

Since the day you smiled at me

Can't erase it from my

Memory, I keep

Thinking about you

Like to get to know you well

Feel the swelling of your

Chest as I caress your skin

But deep within it's clear

That I'm deluded

Desperate for you to

See me, enslaved you're

All I crave

Obsessed, off course I'm

Possessed by forces

I can't control I'm

In a hole but I just keep on

Digging for victory

I try but all I seem to gain

Is your complete disdain

I'm a sucker for the pain

Knock me down and I come right back again

dreaming

From the album Homunculus Nov 2019

Well gimme gimme gimme caffeine, to stop my eyes from drooping

A cappuccino or a latte, to keep me vaguely human

Just let me go and get my head down, I'm walking like a zombie

Another girl another planet another night of broken sleep appears before me

There's a spark in my mind (Whoah)

Feel it burning inside (Whoah)

I don't know if it's wrong or right (Whoah)

But I keep dreaming of you every single night

And it's a sickness it's an illness, I'm suffering in silence

I need to find a resolution, a cure for the virus

I need to get you out of my headspace, this is not great for my mental state I'm

Running on empty close to the edge I'm Trying to live but inside I'm dead and

There's this thing in my head (Whoah)

Wakes me up in the dead of night (Whoah)

Good or bad well I can't decide (Whoah)

But I keep dreaming you are there by my side

Morpheus take me

Please don't wake me

Give me sweet dreams

And release me from this mental torment

And it's a sickness it's an illness, I'm suffering in silence

I need to find a resolution, a cure for the virus

There's a spark in my mind (Whoah)

Feel it burning inside (Whoah)

I don't know if it's wrong or right (Whoah)

Feels so good but it's suicide (Whoah)

There's this thing in my head (Whoah)

Wakes me up in the dead of night (Whoah)

Good or bad well I can't decide (Whoah)

But I keep dreaming you are there by my side

one shot

From the album Homunculus Nov 2019

Walking carefully on the edge of ruin

Such uncertainty, don't know where I'm going

Well I thought that we were so bulletproof but

Now I'm forced to see the unpalatable truth

All the things we built, watch them fall apart

With a single shot you just broke my heart in two

Was it worth the cost? Did the earth move for you?

Did you think of me? As you slid between those

Satin sheets of shame, in a strangers embrace

Did you lose yourself? Betting everything away

All the things we built, watch them fall apart

With a single shot you just broke my heart in two

And I'm torn between vengeance and forgiveness

And I don't believe we can overcome this

You have broken me, cut me to the quick

Burst my bubble with such a tiny little prick

Well I thought that we were so bulletproof but

Now I'm forced to see the unpalatable truth

All the things we built, watch them fall apart

With a single shot you just broke my heart

All the things we built, watch them fall apart

With a single shot you just broke my heart in two

the writing's on the wall

From the album Homunculus Nov 2019

I hate the state of the Nation

Upon the point of no return

Bring down our own desolation

Now, we are locked in the same room

Two tribes divided by this wound

Infected festering mess

A plague on both our houses

Sunset, the end of the contest,

This zero sum game

Lose lose, descend into darkness

Now, we are lost in the same room

Cry havoc! Let the damn thing run

Its course, to hell with the consequence

No room for common sense just

Bow your head and suck it in

And watch the hammer

Fall upon us as we spin

The writing's on the wall

I've tried to see things through your eyes

To understand why

You feel that leaving will save the

Day, but I can't find the upside

Can't buy that sunlit upland

Dream, well I'm caught in the landslide

As everything turns into

Sand, and flows through my hands

My fingers grasping as it

Goes and falls to the ground

Don't make a sound just knuckle

Down don't say "I told you so"

Just watch the vultures

Prey upon us as we fall

The writing's on the wall

This is the state of the Nation

Bring down our own desolation

Sunset, the end of the contest,

Lose lose, descend into darkness

Now, we are trapped in the same room

Two tribes divided by this wound

Cry Havoc! Let the damn thing run

No room for common sense just

Bow your head, just bow your head again

Bow your head again

Bow your head and suck it in

And watch the hammer

Fall upon us as we spin

The writing's on the wall

fools gold (the quest for el hombre dorado)

From the album Homunculus Nov 2019

I'm hearing strange things, I'm getting info

I heard a story from a man from Quito

About the customs among the locals

Got my attention when he mentioned gold

Because gold is my God, it's why I came here

So many miles from my sweet Madeira

Now I'm on the hunt for Lake Guatavita (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo)

(There's a) golden man I'd like to meet there

Fill my boots and my pockets with gold (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo)

I'm on my way to El Dorado

He told me when they need another King

They do this thing where they build a ship

And they strip the guy down to his bithday suit

Coat him with gold and fill up the boat

Then they float to the middle of this big old lake

And dump all the gold to make their Demon sweet

Heading down to Lake Guatavita (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo)

(There's a) golden man I'd like to meet there

Fill my boots and my pockets with gold (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo)

I'm on the hunt for El Dorado

(So I) Saddled up and I summoned my crew

All we need to do is to empty the lake

And then we take all the gold and we make a retreat

Back to Portugal, live on easy street

With a show of hands we were underway

To the lake of gold and a beautiful payday

Going down to Lake Guatavita (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo)

(There's a) golden man I'd like to meet there

Fill my boots and my pockets with gold (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo)

I'm getting close to El Dorado

For years and years we dug the soil

We broke our backs we gave our all

We made the water level drop

By 20 feet but all we got

Was cholera, malaria

The gold was nowehere to be found and

I lost my youth to Lake Guatavita (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo)

(There's no) golden man for me to see there

Don't believe all the stories you're told (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo)

I'm sick and tired of El Dorado

I learned a lesson, I opened my eyes

There's no money for nothing there's no easy life

And if something just seems too good to be true

Walk the other way before the gold fever catches you

Keep away from Lake Guatavita (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo)

There's only pain and death to greet you

Keep away from Lake Guatavita (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo)

There's only pain and death to greet you

Keep away from Lake Guatavita (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo)

(There's no) golden man for you to see there

Don't believe all the stories you're told (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo)

Don't waste your life on El Dorado

lament for a lost love

From the album Homunculus Nov 2019

There's no way to say this easily

Heavy words delivered carefully

I don't want to hurt you, honestly

But we have to face reality

Love, we are going nowhere

Locked inside our apathy

This is not enough we

Need to be free

It's not easy just to walk away

There were good times, there were golden days

And I won’t forget, I'll treasure that but baby

Time has come for us to face the facts

Time, passes by and we have

Changed by subtle degree

We're not the people we were

When we were free

Love, give me release and baby please

Understand, hold my hand

For the last time, part with a smile

I'm your friend 'til the end

We could just pretend and close our eyes

But I think you know that this is right

Sometimes you just have to say goodbye

Bite the bullet and move on in life

Love, we are going nowhere

Round and round in circles

Love, this is going nowhere

Round and round in circles

Love, I will not forget the

Good times we shared baby

But it is time to find

Another way and be free

Please release me

one in a million

From the album Homunculus Nov 2019

I've travelled far and wide but I've

Yet to find someone to meet your match

One in a million, one in a million

I've seen some pretty sights but they

Can't compete with your attraction

One in a million, one in a million

There were wrong turns on the way, stopping me from

Seeing clearly now my eyes are open

Keep searching for the gold, amongst the rocks and stones

If you look hard enough you'll find your own diamond

And it's a natural thing, you

Have to try a few shoes on to find

The one that fits ya, without a blister

Reject the ones that sting or

Cut into your flesh and keep in mind

That cushioned souls are much better for you

Slaves to fashion tend to find, it ends with bunions

Give me Dr Martens any day I know my onions

Keep searching for the gold, amongst the rocks and stones

If you look hard enough you might find a diamond

I've travelled far and wide but I've

Yet to find someone to meet your match

One in a million, one in a million

I've seen some pretty sights but they

Can't compete with your attraction

One in a million, one in a million

Well I guess that I must be one of the lucky ones 'cause

I found you and you found me and we have never looked back

So don't call off the search, just keep on trying

Keep sifting through the dirt, and keep on trying

Keep slogging through the muck, and keep on trying

You never know your luck, you never know your luck

And I thank my lucky stars, for shining on me

It feels like every day is like I've won the lottery

Keep searching for the gold, amongst the rocks and stones

If you look hard enough you might find a diamond
