Castigate Dreaminess
Castigate Dreaminess
With your mandatory integrity check
You run your power through a pale nest egg
So you intend to pay less
So we dream less
In a big circle of nothing
But animosity
But animosity
Castigate Dreaminess

Aloe Vera Plant
Can you lend your heart to the advocate?
Because it gets tough when emotionally attached
Yet they drug me with their medicine
To hold me down like hard cement
Find the itch and the myth…
Find my wish and this…
Will end up all in bliss…
Aloe Vera Plant
Devoid of struggle, Keep to your
Own, Keep your heart unknown
Caged in a system, you strangely enjoy
With a healing power that's your only ploy
Find the itch and the myth…
Find my wish and this…
Will end up all in bliss…
Aloe Vera Plant
Thank you Aloe Vera Plant
For curing my itch… You cure my itch
No need to scratch… You heal the gaps
Aloe Vera Plant
I will help you… (x6)

Waterfall Awake
Wash my hands, I can't yet contemplate
Our polluted minds, it makes me hard to stay
Waterfall Awake
I'm streaming out today
To shimmer and shake
Awake and I'm late
Waterfall to the Lake
Hear me say,
Stuck in a city where no-one feels… a waste
I want to go back home
Because I know why we all feel alone
Waterfall Awake
I'm streaming out today
To shimmer and shake
Awake and I'm late
Waterfall to the Lake
The city takes our feelings
And says we're only dreaming
It only helps our screaming
And stops us from breathing
Waterfall Awake…

Icicle… Minimal
Cynical… Mystical
Crevasse… Crevasse…
No-one to… Hear you…
But you're still… wonderful
Don't fall down… The Crevasse…
Don't fall down… The Crevasse…
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Meditate… Your Igloo…
And confiscate… what troubles you…
Don't fall down… The Crevasse…
Don't fall down… The Crevasse…

One Arm Bandit
I'm at the whim of the white collar boss
And the downsizing of the whole entire lot
Must relocate or disintegrate
And try my hand at the One Arm Bandit
At the One Arm Bandit
I'm at the whim, but you can't take my skin
And when I try to climb up, you won't let me in
So I must relocate and disintegrate
And try my hand at the One Arm Bandit
At the One Arm Bandit
I'm at the whim, I'm at the whim
You have me found out, sink or swim
I'll play my cards, but I'll never win
And you'll force my hand at the One Arm Bandit
At the One Arm Bandit

Mediocrity
Can’t stop looking inside the whole world
I don’t want to wait for their judgement
Inside a cold world
Can’t stop looking inside of everyone
I don’t want to wait for their judgement
To spite the old world
What are they building now?
Corruption
Can’t stop fighting from inside a sold world
I don’t want to wait for their judgement
Inside this sold world
Can’t stop looking inside the whole world
I don’t want to wait for their judgement
Inside a cold world
What are they building now?
Paranoia and Mediocrity
Can’t stop looking inside of everyone
I don’t want to wait for their judgement
To spite the old world… of mediocrity

Diminished
Quick fire saboteur … Bring back my soul
Don't interrogate with my mind
For you've infected me … And I'm very sensitive
And my freedom has been diminished
For I am alive to … All your indifference …
For I am alive to … All your indifference …
For I am alive to … All your indifference …
Why do you prey … On my consciousness
Feeding Demons where Angels should be
Hold that secret in … Then you won't have to tell anyone
That I can love you only with my freedom
For I am alive to … All your indifference …
For I am alive to … All your indifference …
For I am alive to … All your indifference …
For I am alive to … All your indifference …
Thunder and Rain, will you ever see me again?
Extremities are my best friends …
For I am alive to … All your indifference …
For I am alive to … All your indifference …
For I am alive to … All your indifference …
For I am alive to … All your indifference …

Drowning Of My Spirit
Why … Why …
And when the lights go out, and it's just you it falls
It worries you to know what to believe
Descending into a black hole … To relieve
Why …
So why do you ask for permission
It is a drowning of your spirit
So why do you ask for permission
It is a drowning of your spirit
Why … Why …
And when you're stuck behind, trying to justify yourself
Who is looking out for number one?
The passive place you hold … Is actually
Aggressive … And not submissive
So why do you ask for permission
It is a drowning of your spirit
So why do you ask for permission
It is a drowning of your spirit
It's from a lack of control
It wraps you up you know
It comes from shaky ground
When your emotions are pushed underground
Are pushed underground …
It's wounding your spirit, your spirit
And my spirit

Vulnerable
First you need to recognise
Before you can reconcile
It's like a needle to the bone
Second, I want to feel
And have this need to heal
I would like to let you know that I tried
To understand … And let it be … Vulnerable
To understand … And let it be …
Thirdly, I feel remorse
For the resentment I caused
I'm afraid of making that mistake again
I know that I had my chance
And I lead you astray
But the genuine thing was to try
Now to understand … And let it be … Vulnerable
To understand … And let it be … Vulnerable
To understand … And let it be …

Nothing Fierce
He said that he was just a little scared
When he really was just petrified
He has no ounce of feeling
When he formulates a plan to undermine
He admitted he was being ruthless
To rip off people with less wealth
What a smooth talking, novice meaning
No depth of feeling, callous being
He has nothing left to be that fierce about
There's nothing on the inside but hands stretched out
He has nothing left to be that fierce about
There's nothing on the inside but hands stretched out,
Out out out …
And when I worked for his benefit
He stitched me up and treated me like dirt
And now I walk alone
To deal with the angst on my own
He has nothing left to be that fierce about
There's nothing on the inside but hands stretched out
He has nothing left to be that fierce about
There's nothing on the inside but hands stretched out,
Out out out …
He has nothing left to be that fierce about
There's nothing on the inside but hands stretched out
He has nothing left to be that fierce about
There's nothing on the inside but hands stretched out,
Out out out …

Star You Are
Not able to receive, so not able to give
The Star that you are, burns out when your alarmed
I want to be wished well
I want to be wished well
And to cuddle you, in your sleep
Not able to receive, so not able to give
The Planet who is warmed by you
Will open up its door to you
The Planet says it loves you
The Planet says it loves you
So why can't you receive …
Its warmth and energy
Is it just foolish pride, that buckles you up inside
Or is it the stoic pain, that stops you from healing again
You seem to see the burden, you seem to see the burden
So then you can't see … A problem as opportunity

Psychopathemicated Rock
Will you tell me how you feel
'Cause till you do, it just won't seem real
I want to know if I'm on the mend
Until I do, I just can't defend
What I did to burn your heart
I crashed and tumbled before I made a start
Brutal honesty is so entrenched
So I must have an outlet … like the …

Be conscious and aware
Of the dark side, I was horrified

Will never set me free

And it punishes without an outlet … In the …

Fruza's Scar
I'm grateful for the legacy you left me
And the responsibility you taught me
I'll have to lead my life now, without you here
Heart murmurs burst through telepathically
Oh Fruza's Scar, now you're sleeping with …
Oh Fruza's Scar …
That scar, you leave me on my knees
You couldn't forgive any wide-eyed white sheep
A Zany personality takes control of
Anyone around who likes to play with her
Oh Fruza's Scar, now you're sleeping with …
Oh Fruza's Scar, now you're sleeping with …
Oh Fruza's Scar, now you're sleeping with …
Oh Fruza's Scar …
From the Indian to the Pacific …
