Tiny Lives 05:22
You said that we'd be safer here You said that we'd be part of something bigger than ourselves And tiny though we are We'd finally make a difference Lately I've lost sight of why we're here Can somebody remind me what these people did to us? And who put you in charge? I am gonna to lose my patience one of these days

Am I really moving forwards or just running in a bigger circle?

Your Colour 04:51
Is there an everpresent doubt Subtle, yet profound Undercutting almost every moment When you're not lost in your work? Rare are the occasions When it leaves you alone? They don't want you to know this simple trick But if you'd care to step this way I can show you what you need Please hold out your hand for me You can open your eyes now It knows the time It knows the temperature We've got your size We've got your colour And it tells you when to sleep And it tells you when to wake up And when you're feeling down or out of sorts It'll make a noise and light up And it can take away the worries It can stop you feeling weak And all this and more could be yours If you'd just stop trying to be unique Signing up is quick and easy It takes no time at all Millions of people are already benefitting from our service So what are you waiting for? Get on up there Get on up and show them what you're made of What are you waiting for? Get on out there

The Valley 03:51
Mope around and hope that something might happen I imagine that if I stay the same then I will change The letters piling up again Sliding effortlessly back into old habits You've really done it this time No idea where the hell you're gonna go from here Are you still asleep? You've never seen a valley this deep Sure, but you're clever - I believe in you There's not a lot you can't get through If only you could see this truth And you promised we'd talk soon You used to be so loud You're so different now Who are you and what have you done with my friend? You were always the life and soul I don't know who you are anymore

Left Unsaid 07:06
How long have I been out? Things are so different now Don't take too long to make up your mind You tip your hand at the first sign of hesitation I told myself I wouldn't do this again But here I am One of these days he's gonna lose his patience One of these days he's gonna lose his temper And everybody's spirit will align And everything will fall into place in time It's time I let you in

Still Here 06:05
If this is a mistake I think it's one I need to make There will always be an element of doubt I think I'm starting to accept that now Now let me see that smile Come on, it's been a while Let me see that smile I sometimes wonder where you'd be now I'm sure you'd put us all to shame You are not special But it's so liberating To know we're all the same boat Feeling the same things You think you can't bear it But you've already born it The moment passed and you're still here You're just afraid of what's next You are not special And it's so liberating To know we're all the same boat Fearing the same thing

In Spades 05:19
You cannot hide It's all inside your mind [Notice how easily I slip back into character. What ever obscure pocket of personal acumen this is, I seem to possess it in spades.]

There is no cause for alarm Everything is in hand I'd advise you not to look down Everything is on track The future looks okay While I'm here, might as well be
12.
The Mundane 04:54
You cannot hide It's all inside your mind We put on our bravest faces When the truth is it's a mess up there most days
