  Back Island Man

Got to the point of giving up on you
coz i never seemed to ever get through
but in a moment of peace i think i understand
why it is you want to live as an island and
sometimes all you need is self preservation coz
the water around you gets so full of confusion
so hold on in the shelter you find and
take refuge in the warmth of your mind

why ya ya you

accomodate the resolution
to release the weight that you're compensating
it resinates with the revolution
this is you're own personal ad for evolution
sharman a nah nah nah nah
everyone's got to do
got to do what they've got to do
everyone's going through
got to go through what you're going through

  Back Come Around (Freya Hanly)


I cant begin to tell you how bored i am
of turning every disappointment into a feat of unattachment
and I cant begin to tell you how bored I am
of finding a spiritual lesson in every broken plan

this one's for you
cause you were going to come around
you were going to come around

I pulled a new age card that told me my prayers would be heard
can you tell me to which prayer does it refer
was it the one about wanting to be alone and strong
or was it the one about wanting to belong to someone
now I'm seriously considering believing that life is a selection
of random events, some lead to joy, some disappointment
and I'm seriously considering abandoning this pointless dedication
to the cause of nonreaction and supposed enlightenment cause

i never saw anything at all to prove to me
that would be a worthwhile
I never saw, anything at all to prove to me
that would be a worthwhile cause

another night alone in anti celebration
I smoke another one and i'm surprised I haven't reached elation
and I scour my psychology to find that I'm needy and confusable
and I come to the conclusion i shouldn't need to be loved
to feel beautiful
but rejection sucks,
and the best and worst our language has to offer is to be fucked
and that also sucks

this one's for you cause you were going to come around
you were going to come around
this one's for you cause you were going to come around
you were going to come around
this one's for you, you know i didn't want you to come around anyway
i'm really much happier on my own
this one's for you cause I am completely fulfilled alone
i'm completely fulfilled alone
do you believe me, do i believe myself
is there anything believable, or is there nothing believable
about anything else

  Back Lion

I can feel it rising
I can feel it swell in the back of my mind
lifetimes of anger
living inside
I'm treading on fine line
and the truth will never hide
I'm still too scared
to unleash my lion
it's leading me astray, it's leading me astray

how much of myself
is living by the laws that you tell
and how much do I hide myself
twenty one years to soak it up
twenty one years is long enough
twenty one year to unwash my brain
before I find myself again
show me a way, show me the way

twenty one years to soak it up
twenty one years is long enough
twenty one year to hold my pain
I want to find myself again
show me a way, show me the way

I can feel it welling, welling

  Back Together And Alone

i left your side
a long time ago
you have to me something
to dream about
and now it is time
i have to go
and i hope you have something
to dream about
the future unfolds
as stories are told
there's nothing like dreams to take
you down that road
to receive your hand
into the unknown
open the doors and together
we'll roam
togther anda lone
into the unknown
we're on our journey home
i've suffered my pride
too many times
and now it is faith that i look to find
in the warmth of your hand
the energy flows
and i want to know all that you
understand

  Back Mirrors

he looks over his shoulder
he looks sideways at me
he sees all of my faults he's much older
well the mirror's for free

so why don't you just change your life boy
why dont you just change
why don't you just change your life boy
the mirror's for free

he looks over my shoulder
the silence is deafening
we haven't talked for three months or maybe longer
and the air is thick with the words inbetween

they say the one thing you can change is yourself
if we tried to contain our rage it might help
they say the hardest thing to change is yourself
but if we let go, we could try to make a change
let's try to make a change

  Back Each To Their Own

I got attached to you
I went too far
wrapped my heart around
your bumper car
the impact was all that I felt
I couldn't tell the pain
from myself

now it's each to their own
each to their own
each to their own

I took myself home
and i vowed to myself that I'd stay alone
and I wrapped my heart back in
it's cage of bone

now it's each to their own
each to their own
each to their own

it's often said
you can only love someone
as much as you love yourself
so I took my heart out
and I put it in the wind
to be taken again
again again

love unspent
is just money in the bank
but you haven't got a cent
if you throw caution to the wind
and put your heart on the line
then it'll come back again
again again again

  Back Misty Morning

misty morning
the sun is hiding
and hearts are warming to you
your smile is on my mind
your heart embraces me tonight
and your songs are in my ears
they're gonna carry me home

you soul is a sweet song
on the soft breeze
that will carry me home

waters flowing
winds are blowing
all is growing, and you
upon the cusp of spring
he told me of the weather coming
and I told him of the weather been
and the gift that I bring to you tonight is very rare,
you will not find it anywhere
and your eyes are going to come out of your head tonight
you'll see lying there under starlight

  Back My Own Worst Enemy

what's that sound
i can hear
there's something moving
inside my head
my body's moving
my mind is somewhere
and i'd be lying
to say i'm not scared
i know this is holding me
i am my own worst enemy

over me
can i survive
the scrutiny
that eye is watching
eveything i do
will i survive
all the things i do
the stupid things i do

  Back Franti

i try to find something to express
the gratitude i feel for the moment you blessed
but i am shaken not stirred and i'm seen but not heard
i'm the feather on a bird floating down, down
and i want to feel the same
i want to know you again
and when you leave my friend
your words are with me now, your words are with me
they're with me now
