Survival

Floating on a memory
Checking on my sanity
Scanning all around of me
Trying to keep a grip on me
Listening to a melody
To keep me from infinity
Something that will sing to me
And offer me a sanctuary
Drifting through the stratospheres
Something’s in my hemisphere
That’s making everything unclear
And hurts the ones I’m holding dear
Dropping like a sinking stone
There’s only one place left to go
It’s where I offer up my soul
To God above I know
Survival
Survival
Survival
Survival
Deep into yourself you go
Plumbing depths they’ll never know
Ever seen a place so cold
It shrivelled up your very soul?
Entertaining vivid dreams
In your waking life you reel
Through a cinematic scene
Acting out reality
While the pain you feel is real
Breathe it out your heart and heal
For there’s somewhere else to be
And you deserve some sympathy
Share it with the world and show
The places that you’ve been alone
Take some time to bare your soul
And let love unfold
Survival
Survival
Survival
Survival
Ooh, Survival
Survival
Survival
Ooh, Survival
Survival
Survival

Bad Times Are Through
04:32
|
|||
|
I was walking alone
Through the streets of my home
In the gloom
There was no-one around
Just the sound
Of the children from the school
And I began thinking
Just what I’ve been through
The emptiness is lifting
I’m coming back to you
Bad times are through
Bad times are through
Bad times are through
Bad times are through
There are people who stay
In your life ’til you fail then you're through
It’s a tough road to take
When you commit yourself to the truth
It’ll all be worth it
They were passing through
And there’s better waiting
Honing into view
Bad times are through
Bad times are through
Bad times are through
Bad times are through
Is it any wonder what they did to you
When their hearts were frozen
From giving out abuse?
Bad times are through
Bad times are through
Bad times are through
Bad times are through (There’s better coming soon)
Bad times are through (Your future’s up to you)
Bad times are through (So live the life you choose)
Bad times are through

Our Crazy Dream
03:13
|
|||
|
Strolling on the golden sands and sailing on the sea
Taking off to paradise, you floating off with me
It's where I want to be
Is it a fantasy?
Faraway I see your eyes gazing out at me
Promising a better life far from misery
And this insanity
That's taken over me
'Cos I love our crazy dream
And I know you're meant for me
It's elementary what to do to change reality
Pray beneath the rising moon until love sets you free
It's in our destiny
It's what we need to be
I know these days are dark and cold and put you to the test
But just believe you've something more to offer than the rest
It's in the air you breathe
There lies the mystery
'Cos I love our crazy dream
And I know you're meant for me
Desperate is the call of mine, distant is the plea
Waiting for the touch divine to stir inside of me
Is there a deity
That can speak to me?
Envelope me in solitude or throw me to the streets
Whatever is the course you choose I swear I'll do the deeds
That you demand of me
Like a tragedy
'Cos I love our crazy dream
And I know you're meant for me
There's just one thing I'd like to say
Before I end this scene, before all my hair turns to grey
And I'm shaking like a tree, I need your melody
To bring some peace to me
So hold me like a trembling dove waiting to be free
There's so much more to see through love
So much that's left in me
I need the company of a visionary
'Cos I love our crazy dream
And I know you're meant for me
Yes, I love our crazy dream
And it's something I can see

Angel Of Mercy
04:12

Darkness and shadows
Lurk in my mind
Glimpses of heaven
Seem hard to find
Cars pass like thunder
Deep through the night
Under the covers
I shake inside
Is it me who’s sleeping?
Is it me who’s keeping
All these dreams repeating
Nightmare visions in my mind?
Is it me who’s pleading
In the night for meaning
When the lonely feelings
Come for me like cyanide?
Angel of Mercy
Hold me tight
Take these memories
Off my mind
Save me from Bedlam
Show me a sign
That there is meaning
Somewhere in life
Is it me who’s sleeping?
Is it me who’s keeping
All these dreams repeating
Nightmare visions in my mind?
Is it me who’s dealing
In my own dark secrets?
Is there time for healing
Or am I condemned for life?
Try as I might I cannot take the light
I hide inside the visions in my mind
When is it time to succumb to my plight
Or fight?

Going Home
05:06
|
|||
|
Swinging through the sky
Ozone getting high
the whole world down below
And an infinite blue vision in my soul
I keep a hold
Drifting on a plane
Deep in outer space
I've got a puncture in my brain
And I'm slipping in and out of sunny states
My fate awaits
I'm going home
I'm running low
I'm going home
This bird has flown
You can hear the roar
Of the engine through the floor
Where my memories are stored
In a package that I'm sending her back home
Instead of hope
And you can taste the void
Of the future as it's poised
As my empty fingers toy
With the in-flight entertainment on my phone
My life's on hold
I'm going home
I'm running low
I'm going home
This bird has flown
