wabi sabi

queen of alternate reality

From the album wabi sabi, 2021

I've been struggling, I can't make sense

Of our different views upon the past events

It's all history but I can't stand

How you rearrange facts and cast me as the bad man

Is your conscience alright? Are you sleeping at night?

Can you block out the screams that you hear in your dreams?

No quarter given, mercy is a weakness

No more parlay, Queen of Alternate Reality

Well it's a crime and I get burned you need to stop and learn to take

Your fair share of the blame in this game

I can't believe you get away with all the things you do and say

Paint it white again, hide the stains and walk away

Is your conscience alright? Are you sleeping at night?

Can you block out the screams that you hear in your dreams?

No quarter given, mercy is a weakness

No more parlay, Queen of Alternate Reality

So I'm ready to put this to bed

Tell the story the way that it was meant to be

Forget the lies and tell the truth I know the facts I've got the proof

Let the record show, there were many smoking guns

Is your conscience alright? Are you sleeping at night?

Can you block out the screams that you hear in your dreams?

Look behind you, there you'll find me

Making sure that - the truth will be released

No quarter given, mercy is a weakness

No more parlay, Queen of Alternate Reality

stumble

From the album wabi sabi, 2021

In limbo, at the apogee

Sitting at the point of no return

Unaffected by gravity

Opposing forces balanced

And I know, where I need to go

I should resist bad choices

Go home or go for the gusto

So bring on the dancing horses as I

Stumble, I'm so stupid

Drink this liquid, down another shot and

Stumble, through the city

Pretty vacant, dissonant and shouting out

This is not me, on any other day

You'll find I'm mild mannered but

There's a fly in the ointment

There's a spanner in this machine

With a drink I'm all and nothing

I go from zero to a

Zombie, a ten pint hero,

I think I can fly, but really I just

Stumble, I'm so stupid

Drink this liquid, down another shot and

Stumble, through the city

Pretty vacant, dissonant and shouting out

I don't know, when it's time to go

I try to stay inside the zone

Get the taste on my tongue, and I

Know that it's wrong, that it won't be too long 'til

I'm dancing - to a different beat as I

Head for the heat on recalcitrant feet

The lights are on, but nobody's in, I'm a

Ghost in a shell that is doing It's own thing

Stumble, I'm so stupid

Drink this liquid, down another shot and

Stumble, through the city

Pretty vacant, dissonant and shouting

Out of place out of time, out of sight out of mind

Out of luck out of line, out of options as I

Stumble, through the city

Pretty vacant, dissonant and shouting out

automatic

From the album wabi sabi, 2021

I saw the future, the cannonball

Knocked me over, three times over

And left me reeling

I got the feeling, we're sealing our

Fate with fiction, blind conviction

But going nowhere

So ask yourself

What's the goal, where's the mission?

And is there something you're missing?

Well it's a riddle as old as

Time, time

Time

(Automatic) Believe me

(Automatic) I thought you were somebody else

(Automatic) Forgive me

(Automatic) For making a fool of myself

(Automatic) Don't judge me

(Automatic)

The supernova, a deadly blast

Moving fast like Christ on a bike

Without a warning

The day is dawning when all of this

Pushing, shoving will mean nothing

We won't recall it

We'll fall apart

It's as sure as the sunrise

That's bringing light into blind eyes

Revealing colours for the first

Time, time

Time

(Automatic) Believe me

(Automatic) I thought you were somebody else

(Automatic) Forgive me

(Automatic) For making a fool of myself

(Automatic) You want me

(Automatic) To be someone I cannot be

(Automatic) Don't judge me

(Automatic) I do this so you can be free

Let's take a walk and we can talk about,

Our inner thoughts and sort the whole thing out,

No room for doubt in here,

It must be crystal clear, yeah

I didn't mean to confuse you

To mess around or abuse you

But it appears we have had our

Time, time

Time

(Automatic) Believe me

(Automatic) I thought you were somebody else

(Automatic) Forgive me

(Automatic) For making a fool of myself

And you want me

To be someone I cannot be

(Automatic) Don't judge me

(Automatic) I do this so you can be free

(Automatic)

ordinary people

From the album wabi sabi, 2021

All we do, all we say, all is gone in an instant

We are temporary, we are borrowers and beggars

Here and now this is it, need to live in the moment

We are temporary, we are children of the desert

Just grains of sand upon the shore

We are ordinary, we are ordinary people

So hold my hand, there is no more

We are ordinary, we are ordinary people

At the end of the day, when the last light is fading

We are temporary, we are cast into the maelstrom

So we go with the flow, blown around by the weather

We are temporary, we are leaves upon the storm

Floating, we are weightless in the sky

Victims of our fates we have to try

Who knows how far we go when we die?

Just grains of sand upon the shore

We are ordinary, we are ordinary people

So hold my hand, there is no more

We are ordinary, we are ordinary people

Do your best with the cards you were dealt at the table

We are temporary, we are ordinary people

Make the most of your time, live you're life while you're able

We are temporary, we are ordinary people

do your research

From the album wabi sabi, 2021

Some say it's bullshit, some say it's proof

Somewhere between we find the truth

Different opinions, different views

Manipulation of the news

It must be fact I swear I

Read it on a website somewhere

Don't believe all of the shit that they serve up to you

Media magnates peddling lies

Vote how we tell you don’t ask why

All about power, keeping control

Bringing the sheeple to the fold

You must be bold go searching

For alternative perspectives

Don't swallow all of the shit they deliver to you

You've got the tools so just take another look

Don't be a fool go on take another look

Leave no stone unturned and take another look

Don't be fooled take another look, take another look

Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing

But there are strings attached so

Do your research, check your facts and

Don't regurgitate bad statistics and

Don't believe all of the shit that appears unto you

Jesus and Elvis both seen on a plane

Brexit will make us Great again

Asylum seekers are taking your jobs

Living in 5 star hotels

Hold your horses, wait a minute

Something doesn't quite make sense

Don't believe all of the bullshit you read in the press

bleed

From the album wabi sabi, 2021

No more, no more promises

No more, no more lies

I can't, I can't believe in anything

I feel violence, your eyes smiling with glee

Well you got me where you need

Played me like a virtuoso

Oh so much I didn't see

Pull the trigger watch me

Bleed

Too much, I crave honesty

Too late in the day

I don't get why you're enjoying this

I can't understand you say its you not me

Well you got me on my knees

Got me begging you for mercy

Pride's a sin but so is greed

Pull the trigger watch me

Bleed

No more, no more promises

No more, no more lies

Be true, unto your self and no-one else

Be kind, be wise, take a tip from one who knows

Just how far down you can go

Touch the bottom of the ocean

Oh so much I didn't see

Pull the trigger watch me

Bleed

here i go again

From the album wabi sabi, 2021

I said we should just be friends and take it slow

You said you were in no rush so let's just go

With the flow, so this is how we start, we keep apart

Using distance like a shield, so we can heal

First time ended in tears, we flew apart, so many years

I remember the pain, carry the scars still to this day

You swear that you have changed, why can't we try just one more time

I look into your eyes and

Here I go again, here I go again

Here I go again, here I go and

I know people don't believe that this makes sense

Me I'm giving it some time, I'm on the fence

One toe in, the water's warm, and all feels great

But I'm ready for the storm, I learned the hard way

I'm not blind I can see this could go wrong so horribly

It's a gamble a bet, there is a chance I might regret this

High stakes but if it pays, I win your heart and I erase

Mistakes made in the past so

Here I go again, here I go again

Here I go again, here I go and

I thought we could just be friends and take it slow

You said you were in no rush so let's just go

With the flow, so we accelerate I can't escape

Drawn toward you like a moth towards a flame

And I know that I might burn in the fire that you ignite

I should turn down the heat playing it cool keeping my feet

But you cannot control forces so strong like a volcano

Falling into your arms and

Here we go again, here we go again

edge

From the album wabi sabi, 2021

It's a sign, it's a portent

An alarm bell of fortune

I don't care what you call it

It still sounds the same

And despite all my efforts

Still arrive at the same place

Try my best to be different

But I always

End up seeing red (End up seeing red)

Takes me to the edge (Takes me to the edge)

In a spin, out of balance

Everything is in tatters

Nothing here really matters

It's all in my brain

Seeing ghosts, hearing voices

From the past come to haunt me

No escape from the choices

That you made and

All those things you said (All those things you said)

Messing up my head (Messing up my head)

Makes me see in red (Makes me see in red)

Takes me to the edge (Takes me to the edge)

To the edge

Close my eyes I can see ya

Hear the words smell the fear

Taste the blood in my mouth

Like it was yesterday

And I try to erase ya

With a beer and a chaser

But I wake up and choke

With vertigo, with vertigo

All those things you said (All those things you said)

Messing up my head (Messing up my head)

Makes me see in red (Makes me see in red)

Takes me to the edge (Takes me to the edge)

To the edge

All those things you said (All those things you said)

Bring me back to the edge, bring me back to the edge

All those things you said (All those things you said)

Drag me back to the edge, drag me back to the edge

All those things you said (All those things you said)

Bring me back to the edge, bring me back to the edge

All those things you said (All those things you said)

Drag me back to the edge, drag me back to the edge

All those things you said (All those things you said)

Bring me back to the edge, bring me back to the edge

All those things you said (All those things you said)

Drag me back to the edge, drag me back to the edge

vertigo

From the album wabi sabi, 2021

At the top of the mountain, it's lonely

Staring at the horizon, and thinking

Where the hell am I heading to now? There's only

One way out and it's scaring me now, I'm sinking

Vertigo

Well the way up is hard and unrelenting

Got the bit in your teeth and…....the path is

Clear as day as you battle away, ascending

Don't look back there is nothing to see, just dead bodies

Vertigo

Take your seat at the pinnacle, so what next?

Fighting off all the challengers, them barbarians

Don't look down it's a long way to fall...it makes you

Sick when you think of the cost of it all, but you go again

Vertigo

Are you scared of falling? Do you dream about it?

Do your nightmares wake you? In the middle of the night?

Just let go, you can soar like an eagle, there is no shame

Find your way to the peace of the valley, just quit the game

Vertigo

Give it up and move over, hand down the crown

You can't go on forever, but you can escape from

Vertigo

At the top of the mountain (vertigo)

just an animal

From the album wabi sabi, 2021

I, I see your cloven hooves you're

Down with the plankton man, need evolution man

So, I try to miss your gaze I

Know that you're trouble and I don't need that

Kind of grief I need

Sweet relief, peace and

Love not war, I've read this

Book and I know how the story goes

I, I know you're watching me you

Need some acknowledgement, some reaction

But, I just won’t play that game it

Leads to the same result, escalation

Fight or flight, give me

Reasons why, I should

Leave this place, I think

This town is quite big enough for us both

But you can't just let it lie

Someone always has to die

And the explanation:

Just an animal, you're just an animal

I, I get your troubled mind it

Seems you were traumatised somewhere back in time

It does not give you rights to

Act like an idiot, throw your weight around

And round, dancing

Like a clown, spinning

On your heel, this is

Too damn real, take it

On the chin, I think

This town is quite big enough for us both

But you can't just let it lie

Someone always has to die

And the explanation:

Just an animal, you're just an animal
