Throw it out it ain't no use
get rid give it abuse
ride the wave before it is taxed
watch the show before it's axed
follow your dreams and live
never repeat your life story.

Wave the white flag if it gets to hard
never dump your rubbish in your own backyard
it's never forgotton when it is your own
remember it's where you live it's your home.

Agrivating one's own friend
no wrong doing no re-affend.
Clean it up you filthy slob
and shut also your filthy gob.
True or not it's what people are thinking
remember who you are and stop that stinking.

Trash all over the place
let me help you it's a disgrace
a reminder of rats to come
i'l shoot you dead if you decide to run.
Watch yourself as you leave the house
i'm not responsible for the abuse they shout.

Throw your burdens and leave them outside my door
i don't want to listen to your woe's no-more
Come in smiling a positive attitude
i'm listening all sounds good.

Cross the yard all is a riot
in the other neabourhood all is quiet
money makes the rich mans, heart grow cold
all godliness has now been sold.
Into the wilderness finding peace
sleep in rows with the deceased.

Throw a curtain over society's eyes
this wealthy man doe's not tell lies
blinding them from your world at will
for you when you speak the world stands still.

The sea of an ocean covers a mass of land
like the rich over the poor have the upper hand
they make the rules we all have to abide
if you make mistakes well there all denied
all is lost in the whirlpool of life
thrown down from above me, trouble and strife.

Back to my curtains which i have closed
in a house within land i have borrowed
only for a short time it will belong to me
stepping out of people's reality.

Rise and be greeted with lollies
in every taste you can imagine
shopping with a full trolley
the maddness is about to begin
Fear is not complete without confrontation
can't do nothing about it complete frustration
Locked in a world where all dreams are made real
not in your instinct to know what others feel.

No one can teach you the rules
they haven't been written yet
the only one's who think they have it right
are the one's who are likely to be in debt.
Gambling through stacked cards, into oblivion
when they put the last card down they think they have won.

Is no one listening, does everything fall on deaf ears
am i the only one listening in here
why the complaints or your teary eye's
to me your a losing man that's no suprise
you can't go on believing that you will win
ignorance will not continue to bury your sin.

Rise above and beyond whether you are here or over the pond
face it deface it all is at your command
man was given the upper hand.

I am on the last page
soon to be complete
now so tired
but all is sweet.
Now for something new
to fill my heart and soul
get my teeth into
and a way i go.

There must be something
i haven't done
one from my wish list
that i won't shun.
I can begin something new
to make some progress
in what i do.

To fill all my tomorrows
it's my heart i must follow
into the realm of uncertainty
i am the one who believe's in me.
I have the urgency
and the ability
to rescue me
now that i am free.

If there's one person i love in this world it's me
passionatly.
Iv'e tried to love others but it consumes my time
it' out of line.
Can't spend the rest of my life on my own
though i'm not alone.
Working to fill my partners pockets
now iv'e clocked it.

Yes iv'e worked it out i think i knew all along
it's just plain wrong.
Never protecting myself from peril's such as this
just for a kiss.
Love isn't easy it's just plain hard
for poor old chard.
All my eggs in one basket i'm sorry to say
it's not the right way.

For someone who love's them self the way i do
i'm feeling confused.
To give whole heartedly everything i own
to make a home.
To take critism on a whole world scale
only to fail.
Leaving behind all my hopes and dreams
and dangerous scheme's.

For a different world just made for two
i hadn't a clue.
Now i am trapped in a world i helped to make
what a big mistake.
I'm living the life so i will see it through
because of you.
Even though my heart i thought couldn't love two
you made it true.
You are still my only desire, my brain still wired
haven't grown tired.
Though our working lives are on the blink
it makes me think.

So what am i saying i hope it will pass
very fast.
Good times and special moment's will return
this year.
And i will not hang my head from dwelling on these matters
cus i'm getting fatter.
Leaving my sanity far out of reach
no longer can teach.
Love myself but never the time
that's fine.
Clothes turn to rags and nose/ear hair appears
my worst fears.
Going white losing my youthfullness
grumpy old man.

A net is closing in on me
didn't want to believe
just can't see, is anything real
anymore anymore

Waving the white flag,
quickly turns to blood
can't surrender to an unknown aponent
Have me on lockdown, shut in tight
sharp as a razors head almost to blunt.

Knocking me backwards
shaking my head
with such force, why am i not dead.
To die blind without knowing the truth
brings me down on my knee's.

I must have done something
hope it was worth it
now close to a razors edge,
not pretending have to give it my full attention
now i see bloody red.

Stick it to em give it good
no surrender even if i could
nothing is for nothing the earth doesn't stand still
nor will my enemy he's going all out for the kill.

Wave the union jack oy ain't you coming back
this ritual was born out of this land
here i fight where i stand where i lie is where i die.
No more confusion about my right to live
i know you will die nomatter who your with
life is mapped out i draw first
if i miss it's going to really hurt.

The net is closing in on me
didn't want to believe
just can't see is anything real
growing cold can no longer feel.

Time to let this story unfold
stand up sit down do as you are told
everything is made clear
forget about everything you hold so dear.
The batteries are running low
your parents are losing control
time to runaway as fast as you can
tell me more help me understand.
Caught in a tight grip thrown on the floor
into your bedroom he stands at the door
compelled to harm you see it in his eye's
punching and kicking you it feels like all night.

All my anger bottled inside
nowhere to run nowhere to hide
have no new friends moved far away
trapped in my parents world and here i stay.
Threatened with violence at every given turn
i'm a punch bag do they learn
i'm there child and i don't ask for a lot
don't deserve this blood clot.

Dad lost his job and is drinking heavy
mum never worked but she's the same
lock the children up don't say a word
frightened for our life if we are overheard.
Wake up i scream every time
that's why i get what's coming mine
kill me it's only a matter of time
will i ever see again the sunshine.

Parents that carry a life in there hands
god like a whinging man
losing his own battle with drink and drugs
turning his on;y son into a thug.
What is he expecting when he looks into my eye's
is he waiting for me to throw a punch what a guy
wait til i grow up i'l give you what for
i'l stand over you inside your door
when your a cripple and can't defend yourself
that's when i'l attack you with a block of cement.

Looking up hanging veins on a wire
towering branches penentrating the skies
rooted deep beneath the earth
what price tag does it hold.....

chorus; Oxygen what a breath of fresh air
what a wonder for all to share
something is for free
not everything is history.

Mind your step when it unfolds
in turbilant winds
racing for shelter beneath it's wings
under the satin sheet it's pulled.
Dressed in disguise it's cloak and dagger
wasteing away only for you to discover
breaking free man made dust
growing in wealth if only to die.

Faces in the window
scarred and bloody
broken and disfigured
angry and wanting to enter
not likely
not likely.

Wait i recognise you
yes it's me, my double
looking hurt and need of rest
turn around and head west.
still at my window
but i hear no sound
trapped in a void
waiting to be destroyed.

I call out but it falls on deaf ears
i'm not opening up though
you must think i'm crazy
it's not happening to me
not likely
not likely.

I'm in my living room
all power is out
barracading the doors
while you are all about.
I'm just safe guarding my life
come any closer you will feel my blade.
stay away
stay away.

I'm in turmoil really confused
looking at you i'm not amused
it's not great that i see me
in the window
and i believe.
not likely
not likely.

To many hard drugs
now i have lost the plot
if that's really me
then my head is really shot.
stay away
stay away.

Zombie needs me to survive
the only remedy for life
as now it's broken away
giving it one bloody glass
it can help if it stays.
I need help seeing things that are not real
to many turns of the wheel.
i will call
i will call.

Turning from left to right
not everything is black n white
am i opening the door
well if there here i won't be nomore.
take me, make me complete
out of sorts walking down the high street.
fill me
heal me
split me into two
make me whole renewed.

Handed over
a loss i won't get over
no bother
no sorrow no more tomorrows.
wake me
wake me.

I will soon be with you
into the garden of no return
where we will be united
into ash and in reality it burns.
sacrifice
sacrifice.

Two parts joined
as god intended
parted through carelessness
united by progress.
into i do
into i do.

Great empires sinking into the mud
forgetting the tears sweat and blood
once awesome beautiful to the eye
now crumbling born to die.

If something is good then it should be kept that way
why have you left it to decay
i can't understand why you neglect it so
will all of your national treasures follow.

No one wants to work anymore
we are all tired on the shop floor
we who think do all the work
while the money is spent by our bosses who are jerks.

So we who are fired and are not replaced
in a short while things look a state
so we have big mouths and we need to be ignored
but things won't run if we are not on the shop floor.

You need us to clean up the slop
fulfil our needs with a bucket and mop
hear our screams and feel our pain
i won't ask you again.

Jobs for everyone all men on deck
this ship won't sink into the depth's
Empire's fall when they neglect the people
out of control it ends with the people
Tired of seeing there lives upside down
and the falling of great cities and smaller towns.

We all need to pull together in this time of crisis
there's no time to be arguementive
all take a hold and pull as one
or we are all finished and it will never run.

Our will to live and strive for greatness
has taken a final blow
no one looks out for one another
when one man stands no one else follows.
We are not brothers we are all strangers in this land
i don't trust you that means i won't lend you my hand.

You who speak with a foriegn tongue
i may live next door to you, but under my pillow i have a gun
i smile and i often say hello
but hoping that you go home tomorrow.

You who bleed us dry another government plan
it's not your fault we do the best we can
open the floodgates letting them all pour in
thinking about filling your pockets and not emptying the bins.

Over run and no work that pays
we are all waiting for the end of days
nothing to look forward to all has gone down river
no hope no sight no glimmer.

Thow up your arms or they will fire
fire and brimbstone upon your head
leaving you naked and bloody in the lions den
where all you will see is red.
Crawling around though you won't see much
you won't smell or feel touch
all your want is a way out
no voice coming out of your mouth.

Silence never broken trapped in your own hell
the start starvation im not doing so well
No one comes to help me help me heal
alive in my body it's all to real.

Soon i will be discovered but not by man
animals that need to feed and know they can
will rip the flesh off my bones
suffering in silence all alone.

Only hope is to let yourself go
have faith in god and what could follow
when all is lost death is at your door
all you can ask yourself is how deep will i fall.

Live to ruin go down with a blast
doesn't always go how you have asked
sometimes it's just a crime
out of your hands it's just your time
happens so fast no time to think
desperate to save yourself when you start to sink.

Allways a tresspasser never an owner
it's my life i am that loner
speaking in riddles that i don't understand
is there no one willing to guide me in this land
man oh man a helping hand
pick me up and help me stand.

A fighter that doesn't know how to surrender
though staring defeat in his eyes
never knowing love soft and tender
living off one's own wits staying alive.
Every one has there own idea's about what's going down
iv'e lived my life what you give soon comes around
death come swiftly open the jaw of fate
i eccept all what's coming all i know is hate.

Hunger only for food of thought
no idea of how i'd feel ever being caught
a strange sensation some part of me is glad
is everything i have done really that bad
when living only for yourself it's hard to recognise
if you want something bad enough it's all in disguise.
Dish out dinner baked for a banquet, i quit.
