Close your eyes feel what is deep inside you
And open up to me
Wake up little girl
You're dragging on your feet
Loneliness won’t help you feel complete
I know it’s hard to find out who you are
But staring at a screen won’t get you far
Don’t give yourself away
You’ll give it all away
Don’t give yourself away
You’re giving it away now
You’re giving it away
You’re wasting it away
I know you’re afraid
But you got more to say
I need you to open up your eyes
And see what I can see
Learn to trust yourself not others
And just set your instinct free
One day you’ll look back realise
The time you wasted on lies
Was not you but pain in disguise
Just be yourself and
Doubt what you know so you can learn
That life will twist and turn
In ways you that you cannot control
Just free yourself
Don’t give yourself away
You’ll give it all away
Don’t give yourself away
You’re giving it away
You’re giving it away
You’re wasting it away
I know you’re afraid
But you got more to say now
One day you’ll look back and smile
At that girl who was so shy
And tell her everything will be fine
Now you know yourself and
What you held to be true
Are just thoughts that you will undo
It is not an impossible task
If you know yourself and
Ohhh
And what we thought was the truth
Are just moments we can undo
Life is not an impossible task
I’m waiting for you

Feral Kids

Thoughts, ideas, opinions, notions
Released unthinkingly out into the open
Words, feelings, beliefs, judgements
Typed into our brains without our permission
I want to hear your story and understand your perspective
Learn from each position so that we can be effective
But in such times as these we must separate fact from fiction
Make sure that our truth is something we truly believe in
Remember an opinion is not based on concrete knowledge
People have agendas, and that we must acknowledge
So i’ll respect your viewpoint if it is respectful of mine
Lets use our energy to support not undermine
When you write your prejudice, know each target has a mother
Instead of wanting to be heard, try and listen to another
You’ll always have a voice but you don’t always have to use it
Of course you’re free to speak, it’s a right but don’t abuse it
Speak your mind, do you need to speak your mind?
Coz I find, make a mistake it’s hard to rewind
[Listening and reading, absorbing and thinking
these thoughts that are not mine
Shouting and crying, you’re blaming and lying
from scrolling all of the time]
Yes I can see that you’re angry, but you’ve just crossed the line
Condemning other people will not help you make this right
Only you...
Free yourself
Free your mind
Know yourself
Learn to be kind teach your inner child
can teach your inner child how to grow into the wise
Don’t feed those feral kids, they’ll only run a muck and spread more pain and lies
Teach your inner child to behave and comprise
Don’t feed those feral kids, because you know they’ll only grow in size
They’ll grow to hurt you, they’ll grow to hurt us
And they’re changing our minds
Speaking, and listening, and writing and reading
These thoughts that you do not believe
And we’re loosing our minds
Free yourself
Free your mind
Know yourself
Learn to be kind teach your inner child
Think about what you put out in this world
Don’t feed those feral kids, teach your inner child
Please don’t believe all that you have been told
And don’t feed those feral kids, nurture your inner child

Paranoia Party

Cold fingers wrapped around your palm
Strange noises behind us, your keeping me calm
Waiting for something to help me release
Stare into the distance but I cannot see
The lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue
The lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue
I cannot speak and the silence has won
The lips, the teeth, the tip of my tongue they’re numb
Can anyone hear me, is anyone out there
Can anyone see me, and should I run faster
My legs, my feet, my body, and mind
My legs, my feet, my body, and mind are running away
To my party, I want to find a party
Could be with anybody
I want to feel somebody
Is it you?
Will you come to my party?
I’m not just anybody
I’m tired of feeling lonely
Listen to my isolation cry
It doesn’t look like you are coming with me
I feel like everybody is looking at me
My eyes, your eyes, staring at me
My breath, my throat, I cannot breath
Everything’s spinning and I cannot see and my palms are now sweating
I need some relief, please help me
To find a party
but you don’t want me at your party
I can’t find anybody
I don’t think you even like me, is that true?
I feel alone, so lonely
Please help me find somebody
Have you all just left this party
Listen to my isolation cry
I don’t want to be alone and I don’t want to feel so lonely I want you to be my friend and stay right beside here with me, the walls are closing in and the skies are getting darker, my palms are getting sweaty and my pulse is getting faster
Help me, please help me, why can’t you help me?
I don’t think I can do this anymore
I don’t want to hurt my body, but you won’t let me join your party, and now I feel so god damn empty, listen to my isolation cry
Help me, please help me, help me
I don’t think I can do this anymore

Let’s get a little interest up in here
Whatcha say honey pie?
I want to play a game
I don’t care what people say
I’m gunna laugh until my face falls off
Have you heard the story? Walk into my parlour said the spider to the fly
Well now your wings are clipped, you’re no longer the apple of my eye
Coz you’re a bad time, a really bad time
Yes you’re a bad time, a really really bad time
You know you get the face you deserve right?
And pretty baby I got a bullet, you decide
Can I be the silent killer of your mind
Yes I’ve got two bullets you decide
This is your final shot but you don’t care
Your words may be loaded, I don’t care
If this is my final shot, lets pull the trigger and say goodbye
I’m no longer the apple of my own eye
You can’t say you tried
I’m just sorry it was all a lie
