Tiny Lives

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
