Running In Circles
Days are bleeding, into one another
Tripping over time, falling under cover
Months are marching, in a straight line
Counting to the dozen, counting in time
Years are yearning, hanging onto now
All the great learning, why? where? how?
So haunting. So wanting. So Daunting. So...
Running in circles again
(going nowhere, going nowhere)
Forgetting those memories, such a cruel loss
All the history fades away, into the damn fog
All that remains is the love we have
Binding us, entwining us, staying on the path
Walking in the light, waking in the dark
Searching in the shadows, for that little spark
So haunting. So wanting. So Daunting. So...
Running in circles again...
Running on autopilot...
Running in circles again...
Open The Door
A ghost crawled into my head
Floated around told me I was dead
I danced between tear drops and loss
A storm of life under a broken cross
Let the dead do the dying
Let the living do the living
Let the sinners do the sinning
Let the fools do forgiving
Open the door to what you need
Realise possibilities
Open the door to what you see
Visualise and set it free
There’s a hidden name on my lips
A secret shame that shall eclipse
The fall the fury the peace it breaks
All is sealed in the time it takes
Reason escapes and purpose is lost
Ratio of providence is such a high cost
Open the door to what you need...
And at the end as it all falls apart
I can see how it hung together at the start
As the night falls over in a crash of black
As the neurons fire and the high gets higher
Open the door to what you need...
Dopamine Rush
Phone zombies lost in the scroll
The world around is out of control
The world online looks a perfect place
With perfect smiles on a perfect face
Need the feed. Feed the need
How much more can you bleed?
Living your best life. Living your best life
With a dopamine rush (dopamine)
Count the likes and the pleasure spikes
With a dopamine rush (dopamine)
Count the likes and the pleasure spikes
The gap between what you see and feel
What is fake! What is real!
The illusion of the perfect life
The truth it leaves you feeling deprived
All alone unsatisfied
On your very own roller coaster ride
Living your best life. Living your best life
With a dopamine rush (dopamine)...
Feeling cautious, feeling anxious
With a little bit of trepidation
Like that like, follow that trend
Hit the button, there’s the elation.
With a dopamine rush (dopamine)...
Daydreaming Of L.A.
Caught in rapture trapped on the train
Racing through my thoughts again and again
Western dogs bark at the moon
The camera is still I spoke too soon
Swim in the pool so late at night
Under the starts all is right
Down to earth beauty smiles are free
Stargazing there with me
This deafening distance, so close so far away
It builds resistance, that grows every day
And scenes flash and fly, before my minds eye
Knowing what to say. Daydreaming of L.A.
Margins are tight business is good
The money’s a mystery it’s understood
Hide from the glare and all the stares
In this space it’s our to share
Dream to waken stirred not shaken
Chances grasped chances taken
And satin eyes blink and wink
As joy it joins the broken link
This deafening distance, so close so far away...
We are the stars in our own sky
We are the stars shooting by
This deafening distance, so close so far away...
Prison Of Dreams
Those midnight eyes so dark so deep
A gaze so sharp it pierces my sleep
Climbs the wall into my dream
Floats like Ophelia downstream
In this eternal night
In this prison of dreams
I got to shake this nightmare off
In this prison of dreams
I got to shake this nightmare off
Lost days return from long ago
Forgotten faces I used to know
The places change the scene is set
A dream theatre I’d rather forget
In this eternal night
In this prison of dreams...
Slowly and surely, morning broke purely
Waking into a new day
Where the dreams they will stay
In this prison of dreams...
I can’t shake this nightmare off!
Rise Up And Follow
Got to love the violence of the silence, that quiet riot within
Got to take a notion, got to take the potion
A sweet elixir of sin, not to be condemned
Not just to pretend, it gets so hard to fit in
Got to go your own way, got to do what you say
And dream it up everyday
And it’s coming clearer into view
All the things you want to do
Rise up and follow. The revolution is within
Rise up and follow. The revolution can begin
You are the author. You are the writer
You are the master of your destiny
It is the time now for recovery
Dive down deep in your discovery
And it’s coming clearer into view
All the things you want to do
Rise up and follow. The revolution is within...
Seek out your own tribe. Don’t follow the crowd
Seek out your own tribe. Don’t follow the crowd
Rise up and follow. The revolution is within...
Immortal In The Songs
Where are our heroes gone. Their voices are still
I hear their songs in the wind. See their face in the sky
That time came to leave and fly away
When death knocks on the door. There’s no time to stay
They are immortal in the songs (songs)
They are immortal in the songs (songs)
So many good ones gone and passed away
Filled our lives with joy and song in so many ways
We fell in love to their words. We sang our song
We danced to the beat of their groove. But that beat is gone
They are immortal in the songs (songs)...
Where have our angels gone, all called home
The days seem longer now. The night never ends
Distant words they return to comfort and care
The melody lingers on. In the songs you are there
They are immortal in the songs (songs)...
All the great songs they left us
Such a great inheritance
All the great songs they left us
Such a great inheritance
Your Heart Can Only Break If You Let It
Where you going with that look on your face
Do you belong to the human race
If you can learn to love
You can learn to hate
You are the one in charge of your fate
Don’t you know... Your heart can only break if you let it
In between... The chances that you take
Don’t forget it
I can see the strength in your eyes
Right behind the tears
Let that smile become your disguise
And keep it near
Don’t you know... Your heart can only break if you let it...
Put them in the rear view mirror
And forget their face
Put them in the rear view mirror
Put them in their place
Don’t you know... Your heart can only break if you let it
The Warrior
I am not burdened by what they think
I am stubborn to the core
And then some more
Here in this flow
Where wavelengths grow
Searched and found within me
Focus fixed on drishti
Just like the warrior. Just like the warrior
Just like the warrior. Standing firm
Ready for all the knocks
Ready to turn back the clocks
Searched and found within me
The reckless Cherokee
Knowledge of resilience
Strength and self belief
Hopes beyond hope itself
The scorpion sting is relief
Just like the warrior. Just like the warrior...
There’s my past beyond my left hand
There’s my future beyond my right
Here in this glorious moment
This warrior is at one
Just like the warrior. Just like the warrior
Namaste
For all the searchers and all the seekers
For all the losers and all the keepers
For all those that lift the veil
To find something more
Unafraid to ask the question
What’s behind the next door
With open hears and open minds
With open eyes and ears
Present in the moment
Where the space between thoughts becomes clear
Namaste...
For all the stargazers lost in the distance of light
For all the lovers in love kissing through an endless night
Cut the thread of self reflection
Go out into the world
Cut the search for perfection
Learn to live and to love
Bring your attention to your present
Can you feel your breath
We are in complete union
With the whole universe
The light in me honours the light in you. Namaste...
