Too Much To Ask
03:52
|
|||
I want a companion, a kindred soul
Wade through a sea of people; can’t seem to fill the hole
I’m looking for an equal, a common ground
Not shooting from a pedestal or a hole in the ground
Is anybody out there?
Does anybody care?
Would you just take off the mask?
Is it too much to ask?
Ain’t no one gonna win me talking to impress
You’re giving me a list of all the things you do best
And sweeping under rugs now, anything real
Seems that we’re all numbed out; hurts too much to feel
Is anybody out there?
Does anybody care?
Would you just take off the mask?
Is it too much to ask?
If everybody’s talking who’s gonna hear?
I wish that you could see me. Am I really here?
Did you miss the detail in all the noise that surrounds
Don’t you think we’re living a life watered down?
Is anybody out there?
Does anybody care?
Would you just take off the mask?
Is it too much to ask?

Mountains & Molehills
04:28
|
|||
Time is changing, don’t we know
The ground is shaking the seeds we’ve sown
I’ve been wondering is it time to go
Or can we bend, break, grow?
All the fuel I pour onto the fire
Drama queens are whispering sweet lies
And the stories I tell I catastrophize
We’re building mountains out of molehills every time
There’s a sadness, a bitter seed
In the deep, dark depths of me
I’ve been wondering how to let go
Is this the only me I’ll ever know
All the fuel I pour onto the fire
Drama queens are whispering sweet lies
And the stories I tell I catastrophize
We’re building mountains out of molehills every time
Time is changing, don’t I know
I don’t feel I can carry this load
They say all this hating seeps through my bones
And that I don’t need this weighing on my soul
All the fuel I pour onto the fire
Drama queens are whispering sweet lies
And the stories we tell we catastrophize
We’re building mountains out of molehills every time

Worrying Mind
02:54
|
|||
The day we met I’d never known love before
You wrap me up in arms, I’m safe warm
Lock and key, I will never leave
But I’m wondering what’s behind the door
For you I step in time
I follow you down the line
I leave my friends behind
Cos you and me will always be
Worrying mind of mine
But lately I’ve been questioning things you said
Like how you tell me it’s for my own good I think it’s yours instead
And I don’t know when, as the honey moon ends
I’ll be wondering what’s around the bend
For you I step in time
I follow you down the line
I leave my friends behind
Cos you and me will always be
Worrying mind of mine
There’s no wolf at the door but you lay down the law
Worrying mind of mine
If I let you be, will you set me free
Worrying mind of mine

Too Little Too Late
02:49
|
|||
Late December, apocalyptic wind
Can you hear the bells of hell ring ring ring
9am they blacked the sun
If there’s a god, I think your god has run
It’s too little too late, too little too late
Do I interrupt you? Happy holiday
Is the sound of a whining girl getting in your way?
So Happy New Year, there’s a party downtown
I was looking for the meaning but the town burned down
It’s too little too late, too little too late
Would you trade your coal or your Mercedes Benz
If the price of air goes up before the world ends?
Why do the greedy bastards always get to be king?
Until hell is on their door they won’t change a thing
It’s too little too late, too little too late
Late December… apocalyptic wind
Can you hear the bells of hell ring ring ring…

Kintsugi
03:49
|
|||
Dear friend of mine
Everybody falls off the rails sometimes
Every mistake
Weight upon your shoulder, did I see you break?
This ain’t the end
Don’t let it be the end
There’s a place in my heart
Every little piece may be broken I know
If we make a start
We’ll glue it back together with gold
And we’ll be Japanese art
We’re born where we are
Knowing what you know will only take you so far
Where do you turn
When you look around and see every bridge burned
Meet me half way
Would you meet me half way
There’s a place in my heart
Every little piece may be broken I know
If we make a start
We’ll glue it back together with gold
And we’ll be Japanese art
There’s a place in my heart
If ever you could face me you know where I’ll be
Come out of the dark
We’ll glue it back together I swear that we’ll be…
There’s a place in my heart
Every little piece may be broken I know
If we make a start
We’ll glue it back together with gold
And we’ll be Japanese art

Stories We Tell
04:49
|
|||
I’m afraid to leave the house on sunny days
Faces in the crowd… what I think they’ll say
As I hide behind this screen, it’s a fantasy a dream
All the while they’ll figure out there ain’t so much to me
But these are the stories we tell
Long live little lies to ourselves
Where did you go? I heard you moved away
I see you in my sleep, but you always turn away
What if I did this? What if I did that?
Could I be the one you wanted? Could I turn the time right back?
And these are the stories we tell
Long live little lies to ourselves
Melody, only thing that makes sense to me
But what if my song dies inside of me?
Cos I’ve been around the world, there ain’t enough gain for the pain
I’ve been chasing the clock, Lord I was reaching up for fame
Now I know… Now I know
These are the stories we tell
Long live little lies to ourselves

One and the Same
03:10
|
|||
I don’t write for you. I don’t sing for you.
How ‘bout I do me and you do you
But how do I know just who I am
Beneath the weight of ancestral hands
Invisible chains in the space between
Not even an ocean can cut us clean
You don’t invite me in but you leave the door ajar
A little push and pull just to keep the spark
They say that you do the best you can do
Well I swear it spreads through and through
Maybe we both are one and the same
Well I curse this blood and the family name
I curse this blood; one and the same

Pedestal
03:29
|
|||
Starry eyes so bright
Drowned in a floodlight
Imagined heart’s desires
Blind as a mind’s eye
What if I can’t be
Everything you need me to be
Hoping for a hero on the back of this storm
All you get is what you see
Only one way to fall
10 feet from a pedestal
Promises I never made
Please don’t wait for the call
What if I’ll never be
Everything you need me to be
Hoping for a hero on the back of this storm
All you get is what you see
All you see not all you can eat
All you see not all you can eat
What if I’ll never be
Everything you need me to be
Hoping for a hero on the back of this storm
All you get is what you see

Loaded Gun
03:55
|
|||
She got the rules in her head
Even at the top of your game
Don’t get your timing wrong, cos she’s a ticking bomb
She’ll put a mark against your name
What have I done? What am I to do?
She on the look for love
She on the hunt for hate
Every word is a loaded gun
No she ain’t in the mood to celebrate
What have I done? What am I to do?
You’ll second guess your sanity
Cos she’s dancing on a twisted road
Every word, every tear, every scar, every fear
Is a cocktail to implode
It’s nothing I’ve done, nothing I can do
It’s nothing you’ve done, nothing anyone can do
She’s a loaded gun pointing straight at you

Long Winter's Day
04:45
|
|||
Long, long winter’s day
Cold, cold endless grey
I hope there’s somebody calling my name
I hope there’s a wind that will bring a change
Lead, lead heavy weight
Slow, slow river in my veins
I have been waiting on the luck of a draw
I have been waiting on a knock on the door
It’s a long, long winter’s day
Pill, pill change my brain
The spirit inside wasn’t born this way
I see it bend before it breaks
But there ain’t nothing I can do to change its fate
It’s a long, long winter’s day
Please, please, please don’t leave
I see it in your eyes losing faith in me
I know somewhere that the seasons change
And I know deep down there’ll be sunny days
There’ll be sunny days
It’s a long, long winter’s day

When I was 4 years old I ran around the yard
In a red cape, a blue suit, I was Superman at heart
Saving all the dolls from the evil world
They were my Lois, they were my pretty girls
There’s a hero deep inside of me
At 8 years of age cops and robbers was the game
I ran around the schoolyard putting all the bad boys in the jail
A soldier, a warrior could always impress
I was fighting the good fight to find my princess
There’s a hero deep inside of me
Be my lady and your hero I’ll be
Sweet 16, no it wasn’t so sweet
I realised that the girls were looking at the boys and not me
Romeo won’t you go, I just wanna hold their hand
To keep them safe from harm, but the girls had other plans
There’s a hero deep inside of me
Be my lady and your hero I’ll be
But suddenly she comes for me, she pulls me to her light
She wraps her arms around me, now she keeps me by her side
She calms my troubled water, she’s keeping it at bay
Oh how she’s saving me from my every day
There’s my lady saving me
Be my lady the hero I need
When I was 32 they held a plebiscite
For several months we waited for Australia to decide
If husbands could have husbands and wives could have wives
62% of you decided it was fine
There’s a hero deep inside of you
You’re my hero for making dreams come true
There’s a hero deep inside of you
You’re my hero…… 62% of you

Village by the Sea
05:06
|
|||
Wake in a village by the waves
Warm colours in the air, they wrap around my face
The person you know me to be, before I went away
Is as far from anything that I know I’ve come to be, this day
Now I’ve had a taste of it I’m not sure I could live the city life that left me for dead
Coming down the mountain I saw a different side of me
Every little stress inside my head is long left at sea
If I were as simple as the sand between my toes
I’m not sure that I’ll be coming home
Escape the city and the waste
To a place where everybody smiles and offers me a wave
I know that I said that I’m sure that there’s no such thing as free
But it’s as far from anything that I know I’ve come to be
And now I’ve had a taste of it I’m not sure I could live the city life that left me for dead
Coming down the mountain I saw a different side of me
Every little stress inside my head is long left at sea
If I were as simple as the sand between my toes
I’m not sure that I’ll be coming home
For the most part I can love just who I am
But I need to find a way to bottle this day
Coming down the mountain I saw a different side of me
Every little stress inside my head is long left at sea
If I were as simple as the sand between my toes
I’m not sure that I’ll be coming home

Five Foot Tall
03:03
|
|||
Ain’t much that I know, I know
But the time is now, the wind said so
Feels like we’re on a cliff I know
Will you jump with me to the waves below
Here we go!
I’m only five foot tall
And I know I’ll never save you
If the roof will fall
But I’m never gonna leave you at all
Can’t take back some things I know
But in the here I know, my words will show
Feels like we’re in the fog, I know
We can dance in the dark, we’ll go heel and toe
Here we go!
I’m only five foot tall
And I know I’ll never save you
If the roof will fall
But I’m never gonna leave you at all
Only five foot tall
But I’m always gonna find you
If the sky will fall
I will come when you call
There will be times I need you more
There will be times we both don’t know
Oh for the times in the great unknown
Here we go!
I’m only five foot tall
And I know I’ll never save you
If the roof will fall
But I’m never gonna leave you at all
Only five foot tall
But I’m always gonna find you
If the sky will fall
I will come when you call
