DOMINO
Run your shadow play
Night runs into day
Every word you say
Gives the game away
Time to turn and run
Like a loaded gun
Bullets full of rum
Locked and loaded dead
Blew off all the doors
No one knew the cause
Breaking all the laws
Every path you chose
Blinded by the light
Nothing turned out right
Flying like a kite
Dizzy with the height and oh
You’re like a domino
A link in a chain reaction every place you go
And oh
Don’t you know
You’re heating up the brain reactor
Mystic dynamo
Hey
Tonight we say goodbye
Cut our ties and fly
Lock our fear inside
Crank it up and ride
No need wail and cry
Devil in your eye
Twisted turning smile
Tears of a crocodile
Oh, don’t let it show
A link in a chain reaction
Every place you go
And oh, don’t you know
You’re leaking out a brain reaction
We’re gonna die that’s right
We’re gonna die but not tonight
We’re gonna die so let’s ride
On and on
Hey
You’re like a domino
Oh like a domino
Like a....

CRASH
Hey people
You got tee total
A runaway know all
I found another loophole
To take me outside
Could be fatal
Climbing up the steeple
Like a herd of sheep on
One hell of a
Rollercoaster ride
Take me to the top this time
Rollercoaster ride
Take me to the other
Side of
I really wanna get lost
Body parts chopped off
Throw me in a hot box
I find myself tongue tied
I feel like a see saw
I really wanna do more
Burning at the back door
Of my
Tiny little mind
Looking deep inside you’ll find
My tiny little mind
With nothing much inside
And hey
Now the chips are stacked
Gonna burn your love with money
And spend your days stretched out on a rack
Hey
What’s the plan of attack?
Making like a runaway train
Gonna rapidly run out of track -Crash
Hey now
I didn’t wanna be a sinner
I didn’t wanna be the winner
Looking like a dog’s dinner that’s been dashed all over the rocks
But I’ve been running
Like the devil he coming
And he whisper something in my ear that make me take him on
The size it aint too much
It only take a little push
If the size aint big enough
Gets bigger with a little touch
And hey
You couldn’t give a fuck
You been gazing at your mirror while
I’m busy getting hit by a truck
Hey
You’re outta luck
I been getting cut to ribbons
While slipping and sliding round in the muck
And now the chips are stacked
Gonna burn your love with money
And spend your days stretched out on a rack
Hey
What’s the plan of attack?
Making like a runaway train
Gonna rapidly run out of track
Crash
I’ve been hanging around in a haze
For days and days and days and days

Moth to a Flame

MOTH TO A FLAME
Burn me some new eyes
Said the moth to the ordinary flame
Hypnotise
Mystify
Simplify my mind
Churn out some new lies
Pull off my wings and send me out to play
Synchronise
Occupy
Justify my time
There’s a buzzing on the airwaves
Though there’s nothing left to say anymore
Moth no longer needs a flame to burn in
Guess we’re gonna turn and walk away
That ridicule, now miniscule
You know I’m gonna turn it back on you
Rationalise
Capitalise
Habitualise my crimes
There’s a buzzing on the airwaves
Though there’s nothing left to say anymore
Moth no longer needs a flame to burn in
Guess we’re gonna turn and walk away

OLD SKOOL SWAN SONG
Papa not coming home
Papa got a job in another world
Papa got outta sight
Papa say Mama gonna be uptight
And it’s alright
Gimme more time
Gimme some dynamite
Mama say she alone
Mama say drama on the phone
Mama stay up all night
Mama say daddy gonna be uptight
And it’s alright
Gimme more time
Gimme some (dynamite)
You could be so lucky
Never do no wrong
What you thought you reckon
Was nothing all along
But an old skool swan song
Bring it on down
Stand up
Pick it up again
Drive it all the way to the top
Stop
Turn it all down
Sit up
Rip it up again
Carry all the way till you drop
Not
Making no sound
Speak up
Tripping off again
Give it everything that you’ve got
Give it everything that you’ve got
Give it everything that you’ve got
It’s alright
Gimme more time
Gimme some (dynamite)
You could be so lucky
Never do no wrong
What you thought you reckon
Was nothing all along
But an old skool swan song

The Silent Sentry

THE SILENT SENTRY
The silent sentry stands alone
Receives his orders from a mobile phone
And a disembodied voice
All along the shadows grow
Eclipse the walls he’s come to know
And he watches now
As if he has a choice
Come rain on down
Make rivers through this town
And drown
Out the sound he wants to make
Flood the paths he sought to take
Now
They only take him back to where
He stands as silent as a stone
A trigger finger
All alone
Unblinking, seeking new holes to tear
Can’t take him down
He sails the rivers through this town
You can only wait now
Anticipate the clouds
You been making all kinds of noises
To bring him back down
You can only wait now
Anticipate the clouds
You been making all kinds of noises
To bring him back down
To earth
To earth
No hasty words are spoken
To earth
To earth
To start again

IMMERSIVE FANTASY 5
I can’t sleep
For sounds of secrets I can’t keep
The whirring of the cogs and cognitive machinery I see
Like eyes
Are the windows of the soul
Mine are broken mirrors
Only fragments of a holy ghost I see
And I immerse myself in fantasy
Reeling in the pterodactyls
Fractal facsimiles of why
Do you really need to know?
The darker depths of circumstances seem to ebb and flow
Well it could be all I need
Immersive fantasy
And blinding clarity I feel
I can’t sleep
Smoking cigarettes and counting sheep
The characters of yesteryear
Have taken to the streets somewhere
No doubts
Not now we’ve severed mouldy ties
From figurines of malice
With the horns and angel eyes
Oh no not me
I never meant to stoop so low
As to drag me down performing
For the perfect horror show
You know I mean
Almost everything I’ve been
From the fire in your belly
To the ebb and flow
Well it could be all I need
Immersive fantasy
And blinding clarity I feel
And the writing’s on the wall
In a language indecipherable
And the morning birds call
And the ceiling lowers closer to my lips
Eyes shut tight
And the night is stalagmites and stalactites
Through the opaque daylight
And the war, the war is never over
Order the cease fire
Burn down the clock tower
Heal your terrors born
And give me back the time
Well it could be all I need
Immersive fantasy
And blinding clarity I feel
I can’t sleep

Let The Demons Out

LET THE DEMONS OUT
Walk on
Walk on
For tomorrow will probably be
Another way to get through
One more day
Of complications
Elation
Trials and tribulations
You know you’ve
Only ever really got yourself to blame
They say you get just what you pay for
Well it looks like we get short changed every time
We tow the line
Somewhere there is an auditorium
With an audience of precisely no one
Oh and tonight I could take centre stage
Play this out to some imaginary crowd
And let the demons out
Let the demons out
Before they catch me out again
Hold me to ransom like back in the day
My secretive lover
That gave me back my name
Let the demons out
Let the demons out
Before they take me down with them
Hold me to ransom like back in the day
My secretive lover
That gave me back my name
