LYRICS

Interstellar
Up on the stage, turning the page
An ego just hides the faults
Of my age
I like to talk, Its what I do
Reflecting my hopes and fears
Back to you
Time after time
You don’t know me at all
And I like it that way
But you don’t know me at all
You don’t understand
Just how hard it is to be a man
With one foot out the door
To a boy who was promised more
Wake up wake up theres too much we havent done
I want to fly too close to the sun
And drop my conscience for a day
Pretend I wasn’t made that way
Wake up wake up theres too much we I havent seen
I want to visit the people ive been
And tell them to let go
Of everything they think they know
Don’t wake up guilty
Interstellar
Interstellar
Interstellar 


Dark Astronaut
I saw the light protruding through the gaps in the door
I pulled the covers tight around my neck
Nothing I‘ve achieved has made the people want more
So beam me up and take my faith instead
Wait up because something is happening
Way beyond the trappings of your mind
Step in and well explore the galaxy
Observing all space and through time
Dark Astronaut
Come and take my hand for I am one of a kind
We can be together but alone
I will show you things that sleep inside of your mind
Look out across the stars as we soar
Wherever we lay our souls
That will be our home
And ill keep you safe tonight
As long you promise not to leave
Dark Astronaut


Synergy
Like droplets on a web I cling to you
For beauty and disgrace I fight
Like moonlight on a path I pierce the night
There’s moments in my life in flight
Do you still think that we can fly to the moon?
The only cowboy in an empty saloon
Synergy
Two become a strong compound
Mystery
If no one hears the tree fall down
Does it fall at all?
Like ripples on a lake I oscillate
For freedom of the thought I fight
Like seasons of the rose I beat in time
Contradictions in my heart ignite
I still think that I can fly to the moon
A spinning debris in a raging typhoon


Clementine
Waiting for another dose of cold crass and Clementine
One year itch that always troubles you so 
A stranger in your bed another cold opportunity
I am too aware to ever follow it though
Ya Dads dead rich and ya mothers good looking 
But you’ll never get her back, shell never be back for you
Autumn shades that dance around the base of your collarbone
You have no idea how much I’ve studied you so
Conversation stops and so I clutch another pack of straws
Waiting for a perfect time to let you know
Ya Dads dead rich and ya mothers good looking 
But you’ll never get her back, shell never be back for you


Weird Science
Do you believe that the sun
Will have its day
Collect the sparkles in a bag 
Do you believe in the one
A doctrine law
Turn the water into grime
Meet me halfway to the misty wood
Weird science weird science
You know nothing that you think you should
Weird science weird science
Lets go dancing in forgotten lands
Weird science weird science
Live in castles made of sand
Do you believe in the tales
Of seven books
That document the making of
Do you believe that the dove
Found that land
And guided us back to shore
I hid something in the broken shed
Weird Science Weird Science
Gunpowder diamonds sealed in lead
Weird Science Weird Science
I heard footsteps on the roof
Weird Science Weird Science
Broken wise men so aloof


Scavenger

Like a blackbird in the snow I prowl the landscape for food
Picking up twigs ill build my nest in the woods
Playing chase round the chasm with your blood on my skin 
one little shove and I would fall right in
Ill cut off my nose to spite my face, 
Hold the knife to my chest and go out with some grace
I've blocked all the channels leading straight to my heart
Black blood, cold hands, think fast, think smart
Don’t patronise this soul by your pitiful attempt
To put out the fire in this torrid descent
I used to think that all you needed was faith in luck
So fuck what they say im going to fill my cup
With every broken heart that I never avenged
Every fight with an enemy I didn’t contend
With every letter that I wrote but didn’t send
Every opportunity missed in respect of a friend
With every time I took the high road and didn’t pretend
Every mistake with a loved one that I tried to amend
With the pitiful wage im too scared to spend
Every emotional crutch in which I came to depend
I want to feel the power of clenched fist rage
To smash through depression and the burden of age
Like the sound of silence from a seaside mist
Im the lantern in the darkness helping shadows exist
The beauty of the pigeons nesting high the tree
One memory for my lovers and two for me
For contentment has no logic, no equation or grace
So I get it were I can in my sordid embrace
Roll up Roll up Roll up I have things to buy
Ive got the safe little smile and the handsome blue eyes 
I live this shit don’t you dare say I don’t
I swallow it down they get stuck in my throat
For every time I couldn’t find cohesive words to say
For every broken memory that time has decayed


Best Friend

Sparks fly from my hands
She is grateful for every command
She will always come first
And forever ill be immersed
She is righteous pure and uninfluenced once you touch you wont let her go
She sings with heavenly voices of dreams Whatever they be
I’m lost in you now
She holds all my thoughts
In the wood grain my soul is stored
She’s my weapon of choice
And forever act as my voice
My beacon of hope, lies in this partnership


The Last Puppeteer

In a rundown seaside town
Were paint cracks upon the walls
You once were a star
Who knows who you are 
Anymore
Anymore
And you feel like the last puppeteer
And you battle on although
You are an old forgotten show
that’s over
Memories flash before your eyes
And a notepad of events
But you don’t read the contents
Anymore
What once was a charming wit
Has now turned to bile and spit
A hip flask of fire
Down to the wire
Spiraling
Spiraling


Memory Maze
Anything is clearer in the light
Morally respected though despite
My, fear of, travelling, alone
Propetually scared of losing face
Overdose of quirky english grace
Its, better, to stay, unknown
My Memory Maze
Holds secrets in the Haze
For the players
All the worlds a stage
Oh for the players
Life's a game
Someday ill succeed in something real
Then i'll understand just how it feels
To, break, down, rules of engagement
Watching everybody else progress
Is harder than i thought i must confess
But, we'd, be, safer, alone


Language Bomb
I made a bomb out of language and i lit the wick
Then i watched the letters burn as i danced in it
Theres a karma ghost waiting if you cheat success
like a lying women crying in a wedding dress
Many people offer words that are doused in fear
Just to cover up their actions with a cheap vaneer
I used to dream about the world through a storm filled cup
Trying doors of perception and then smashing them up
Look Out! Look Out! Look Out! Im on my way down
Look Out! Look Out! Look Out! Im gonna take the town
Never trust a man with a axe to grind
Cos the last person standing will have lost his mind
Your hopes have been designed
But dont let them take your mind
Theres a time and place to decorate your fears
Instead of lighting them up and counting down the years
Now i live inside a net of a binary dream
Making errors in the terrors of the stark obscene
Ask the things that everybody is too scared to say
Cause a scene amongst the drones in a British way
I wrote a note in a glass and pushed it out to sea
In the hope an sign returned in a knowledge tree
Get Out! Get Out! Get Out! im a juggernaught
Break Out! Break Out! Break Out! Im an astronaut
No one hears you scream when your out in space
Gonna wipe the records clean leave without a trace


I am the Sun

You cover my eyes up like there is nothing to see
But you forget that I’m not here
I am the sun
The guilty and cornered have their backs to the wall
I am the thoughts you’ve left unclear
I am the sun
I believe that the time has come
To have some faith in everything I’ve done
Life is over if you think you’ve won
You all pretend to think you know
You deaden the magic that is there to be felt
Without a thought for what’s unsolved
I am the sun
I maybe a child but you feel nothing at all
Unless yours maths predict what’s told
I am the sun
I protect you from my fragile mind
Cos you’ll be scared of all the mess you’ll find
But from now I think ill pay no mind
You wouldn’t do the same for me
Magic, science, waiting for me
Magic, science, waiting for me
