Suffocate 03:34
I'm suffocating I can't get out If only I had a hammer and chisel I would carve my way out But with every victory blow I seem to score an own goal Increasing the doubt We all need direction To find our way through But there's too much distraction Obscuring the view I think I need a holiday A break away from my mind We all need brain candy We all need to lose our self control Cause when push comes to shove It isn't enough And I'm a long time dead I'm suffocating I can't get out I think I need a holiday I need to lose my self control Cause when push comes to shove It isn't enough And you're a long time dead

Mould 04:04
Tune in, Tune out No one knows what you're all about Got a problem fitting in? They've been on the phone again Oh it's enough, Oh it's enough Oh it's enough to turn anyone to drink Are you playing? Are you mixing? Do you think that he understands? Always watching, always comparing Communication goes back and forth What have you been up, what have you been up What have you been up, what have you been up to today? Square peg in a round hole I don't want your form of control And I wont be pigeon holed Just to fit into your mould I like your humour and I like your smile It makes me happy all the while And whilst they process, debate and discuss Does it matter, matter at all? Because you're happy, and I know your happy Yeah your happy and that makes me happy too

Invisible 02:57
Why wont you let me be Hold me down Like erased identity Empty like a politicians words Promises like sacrifice Voice screaming Why wont you let me be Hold me down Like erased complacency Ripped apart the black Filled with apathy Hesitation Frustration Stolen back the guilt I've forgotten a place I dream of Time moves so fast Against a rushing Tide To hide me

1994 get out the van Six friends having a good time We’re going away for a couple of weeks If you’re lucky you’ll get a postcard It was real it was more than music Meeting people, drinking and sharing And OK so we couldn't play But do you think we cared anyway? France was cool, Spain was hot A bird flew through a window and an eye got caught 3 Days over eating in Madrid Until its time to go to the gig The Italian cops pulled up over As we ask for extras at the El Paso Andy got tied up in Biel And we drank in to the night with friends from Liege I'm about ready to get back out the van I'm only happy with a guitar in my hand 2 Decades have passed and still I can’t play But do you think I care?

Coping 04:12
I'm not the best at writing love songs But there is something I’d like to address Because I'm the one with my heart on my sleeve And you’re the one that brings out the best I know I sometimes get frustrated I promise I’ll try harder for you They say that patience is a virtue I've just got to get better at the things I do Do you want to go for a car trip? Do you want to go down to the lake? Do you want to watch a DVD, Or spin around until something breaks? I know they say that we’re different But I'm pretty certain we’re on the same path I'm hanging on and I'm not letting go Of contagious laugh. I love your laugh I've had people offer me advice But you know son, you don’t have to ask twice I am learning and the teacher is you I'm coping, you just keep on being you.

The Struggle 03:16
I can’t move for the walking Heavy sleep in my eyes Can’t speak for the talking Telling my heart the lies Back up against a wall Decisions not made I stumble then fall Foundations not laid I can’t leave this I need to know Is it possible that I fell? Wrapped up so tight In my own skin Head puts up a fight Don’t know where to begin I can’t start for stopping I finally opened my eyes I gave up on talking Telling me heart the lies
7.
Come on, get your boots on, it’s time to get some fresh air Open the door and take that walk down the stair You've been inside for a very long time, I can hardly place the date Don’t worry, I’ll support you. I promise that I won’t keep you out to late One Step Forward One Step at a time There’s a whole world out there You don’t have to explore it all at once We can go to Pollock Park, or just walk around the house We can walk hand in hand, share a glance and share a smile Do all those little things, we haven’t done in a while We've got Prozac families, it helps them all cope In drunken anxiety, we’re keeping the people all doped So get out of your front door, it’s time you let out a scream It’s amazing the feeling you get when you share an ice cream One step forward, one step at a time And you know I’ll support you, I’ll help you any little way that I can So go be an eccentric, it’s so much better without a plan
