The Point Of No Return
I’m on the run but I’m standing still
I’ve got all the time there is to kill
I’m craving change but it’s all the same
And as I look around I’m the only one left to blame
And then it hits me, a great dark epiphany
I’ve reached the point, the point of no return
There’s no going back, all my bridges burn
I’ve lit the fuse, and there’s nothing left to lose
I’ve reached the point, the point of no return
There is no reason or rhyme, there is no season or time
That can lift the curse, or that can make it worse
All that really mattered, is far away scattered
And so the time has come, that time for me to go
And then it hits me, a great dark epiphany
I’ve reached the point, the point of no return...
This is my voice, this is my choice
And if I don’t speak, it doesn’t mean I’m weak
I lean into the pain, again, again
And this duality is now a part of me
And then it hits me, a great dark epiphany
I’ve reached the point, the point of no return...
Show Pony
She’s incomplete, she’s out of touch
The damage done has cost so much
Emotional desert her love a mirage
All the acts of show are just facade
The show pony has been unveiled
In all the ways she has failed
The show pony has lost her crown
The show pony that tore it down
The show pony has been exposed
In all the ways her heart is closed
I won’t let it bring me down
My life is better now she is not around
I will have better days on my own
With all the love I have the seed is sown
The show pony has been unveiled...
Hard decisions come with a price that must be paid
And as she turns her back she walks away
Abandon the promise break the vows that she made
She swore to love and to protect not to reject
The show pony has been unveiled...
Turning Into Something New
I stared at the walls looking for the answers
To all the questions in my mind
I knew from the start that I would fall apart
If I let the darkness creep on in
Got to change a point of view
Compromise to make it true
Find a way through to heal
Take those dark times and all those bad memories
Turn them into something new
The alchemy of experience and sweet resilience
Turning into something new
I found happier times in my thoughts and rhymes
And those walks down by the sea
My regrets are few and there is little I can do
Just turn the page and carry on
Transform the negative connect the positive
Change the world from within
Take those dark times and all those bad memories...
Sweet Second Chance
Night and day can be long
And we’re not always strong
My heart wants to be there
Maybe I’m just doomed to care
And in a dark recess
I will acquiesce
And in the aftermath
I’m back on the path
Missing lost euphoria
My heart sinks like a stone
All that enthusiasm has been stripped to the bone
Lit by moonbeams and stars
Faces flash in passing cars
The night draws in and down
I’m racing to get out of town
Hide in a world of my creation
Inside perfect isolation
And in a dark recess
I will acquiesce
And in the aftermath
I’m back on the path
Missing lost euphoria, my heart sinks like a stone...
Sweet second chance will set me free
Shine For Me
Slipping through my fingers the truancy of time
The absence lingers the loss is a crime
Grieving not the past mourn for the now
For the future is fast almost on us now
You shine for me, as I shine for you
The light that we share, it is straight and true
The shadows you cast, they will not last
Turning night into day, push the dark away
It is present and clear, in a world grown frantic
Foreboding and fear, to be authentic
There’s a wall between dreams, reaches up to the sky
A scarceness of schemes, the pureness of a lie
You shine for me, as I shine for you...
In the death of the evening as the light starts to fail
I know in my heart I will prevail
I’m strangely happy, and I’m happily strange
For all this darkness I will dispel
You shine for me, as I shine for you...
Hold Your Head Up High
I travelled far I travelled wide
I travelled to a place inside
There I found my time machine
I travelled back to age nineteen
To meet the man I used to be
Before the world changed me
I looked myself in the eye
And I said
Hold your head up high
Don’t be afraid
My younger self smiled back at me
Standing there so handsomely
We talked and talked our vision shared
Our words aligned our passion paired
But I knew I couldn’t stay
I must return to this day
Back into my time machine
Leave myself aged nineteen
And as I turned to go
My younger self said to me
Hold your head up high...
Without ego without restrain
Into myself I will sustain
Hold your head up high...
Some Kind Of Wonderful
From the moment I opened my eyes
The day took off with a surprise
The sky stretched across the view
Beautifully endless in forever blue
The air is fresh I can feel it revive
Reminds me what it’s like to be alive
And I know and I can feel
The way through to what is real
Today some kind of wonderful (wonderful)
Today some kind of wonderful (wonderful)
From the moment I opened my heart
Sensing the change the chance to start
Moving forward my world revolves
Around revelations my soul evolves
Still the chatter learn to grow
Find what matters take it slow
And I know and I can feel
The way through to what is real
Today some kind of wonderful...
He wakes smiling out from sleep
Life changing memories to keep
Today some kind of wonderful...
The Music Knows
As the needle drops the whole world just stops
As the record spins the songs fill me from within
Take me to a place in time take me to a place that’s mine
Treasured memories captured in the grooves
Bookmarks to my life the music that moves
It speeds, it slows
Oh the music knows
The highs, the lows
Oh the music flows
It hides, it shows
Oh the music knows
All my favourite songs I know so well
Songs that guide me put me under their spell
Songs that have stayed with me, the songs that have made me
Treasured memories captured in the grooves
Bookmarks to my life the music that moves
It speeds, it slows...
I feel the melody moving inside me
As the lyrics inspire takes me higher and higher
It speeds, it slows...
Illusions Of Being Free
It’s the threat of the Zeitgeist, it’s the fear of control
The shadows everywhere, crooked glances vacant stares
Recite the mantra chapter and verse
Paradise is hell, love is a curse
Truth and expectations spin, at their throats no one wins
It’s conspiracy, a twisted tale of history
Wrapped up in mystery
Illusions of being free
It’s the spirit of the age, a secret agent turning the page
Forces hiding in the wings, behind the throne are the money kings
Hard to tell what is real, only truth is to conceal
No surprise the facts are lies
War is profit as hope dies
It’s conspiracy, a twisted tale of history...
In a different world
There would be a different plan
In a different world
I could be a different man
It’s conspiracy, a twisted tale of history...
Fade Away
What if truth is just a myth
And those dreams are all there is
To get on through, to get on through the day
Putting on the armour
Raising up the walls high
To get on through, to get on through the day
Fade away, fade away
Everything must fade away
From out of the ether, from out of the mist
It gets on through, it gets on through to me
From out of the static, mixed up and erratic
All those fleeting glances
All those word trances
Fade away, fade away...
As the shadows play, in the shades of day
Soon the light will fade away
In those twisting dreams
Full of plans and schemes
Soon the night will fade away
Fade away, fade away...
