DROP IN THE OCEAN
30 plus years
What have you done?
You’ve nothing to show us
You’ve nothing new
Moving in circles
Are you current?
Are you relevant?
Are you current?
Are you relevant?
When the lights go out
When it all comes down
When the lights go out
When it all comes down
Sycophantic overload
Solid gold
Need your solid gold
Everyone can see
Pulling together
Are you current?
Are you relevant?
Are you current?
Are you relevant?
When the lights go out
When it all comes down
When the lights go out
When it all comes down
When the lights go out…
When the lights go out
You’ll be nothing more
Than a faded memory
A drop in the ocean
When it all comes down
You’ll be nothing more
Than a faded memory
A drop in the ocean
A drop in the ocean
A drop in the ocean…

Plastic Chain

PLASTIC CHAIN
A new city rise
Separate what’s real
Under a new guise
Got to get your gains
With your plastic chain
By any means
When you live a lot
Layers in the air
That’s a shady deal
It’s a free trial
A free trial
Write yourself a lie
Calibrate the feels
Pickings just got slimmer
Got to get your gains
With your plastic chain
By any means
Slowly tempting fate
Until they break
Talk about legacies
Assembled photos through time
Photos through time
Catalogue of fun
Failed to recognise
Push upon itself
Got to get your gains
From your plastic chain
By any means
Infrastructure safe
Systems are in place
Hired out one by one
Regime of hit and run
Hit and run
Poets going to rise
All the wannadies
Got to get your gains
With your plastic chain
By any means
Once you get up close
Underneath the veil
Nothing’s quite the same
With your plastic chain
With your plastic chain
With your plastic chain

THE TOP FLOOR
I’m a man on the top floor
And I’m not looking down
I’m a man on the top floor
And I’m not looking down
You know
They know
You know
Stop kicking it around
Just tread into the ground
You’re on the ground floor
And you’re not looking up
You’re on the ground floor
And you’re not looking up
You know
They know
You know
Stop kicking it around
Just tread into the ground
You know
They know
You know
Stop kicking it around
Just tread into the ground
The words are old
Worked hard for you
Like a leaning post
Where you from?
Disappear
With your green eyes
Disappear
With your fake show
Disappear
I’m a man on the top floor
And I’m not looking down
I’m a man on the top floor
And I’m not looking down

AFTERSTORM
The pushing, the pulling this thing around
The challenge, the message may not always be found
Their stories to make
Their stories to take it down
Only we know the commentary of clowns
Of clowns
The electric blend to regulate
Send in the rescue team again
Bring back the textures, bring back the colours
Knowing what they’re worth
They’re worth
Shapes don’t fit, send me over the edge
Infatuation with sound, send me over the edge
Expensive currencies, send me over the edge
Same faces, same places, send me over the edge
Afterstorm
The pushing and pulling around (x 4)
Afterstorm
Heavy on replace and erase
Didn’t stay for long, lies to burn
Over and over into the void
Hitching a ride to the spaces in between
In between
The electric blend to regulate
Send in the rescue team again
Bring back the textures, bring back the colours
Knowing what they’re worth
They’re worth
Shapes don’t fit, send me over the edge
Infatuation with sound, send me over the edge
Expensive currencies, send me over the edge
Same faces, same places, send me over the edge
Afterstorm
The pushing and pulling around (x 4)

Recreational Trespass

RECREATIONAL TRESPASS
Sometimes it’s easy to see why
The future lines
Tall and strong
Infectious appeal
Time to go and get some
Working methods
Would prefer to be known
From passive to active
Because they are
Feel at last
Plastic coated la la cards
You’re vexed in voodoo darkness
The invisible friend only you see
Never would return
Sleepwalking to dead ends
Never to return
The level found
I won’t look back
Hitching a ride
Because you can’t stand on your own two feet
Mind games and lies
You fall for the sugar-coated BS
All consumed in your own
Thank me next time you fall
Heavy on erase and replace
A rising star cluster together
Won’t change this direction
Your eager words eat into me
Shaping your reality
No more of the heavy lifting
Don’t be so hard on yourself
Inject your body with poison
To stop the aging
In time all will fall away
And there you’ll be…
The symptom, the remedy
The symptom, the remedy
The symptom, the remedy
The symptom, the remedy
Of recreational trespass

SAME TOMORROW
Something is not quite right
It’s a little lie
Look for everyone
It’s a little lie
Chatting in the streets
It’s a little lie
Dirty hang around
It’s a little lie
Kick it around (x16)
Kick it around (x16)
Conditions are not for me
It’s a little lie
Not here to make enemies
It’s a little lie
Have to concentrate
It’s a little lie
Dirty hang around
It’s a little lie
Everyone has a view
An attitude
An edge
Same tomorrow
Same everyday
Chase ‘celebrity’
It’s a little lie
Smoke machine to mouth
It’s a little lie
Get an interest
It’s a little lie
Feel a different beat
It’s a little lie
Kick it around (x16)
Just a smile
All that’s needed
A train elsewhere
Just to get some air
A place to sleep tonight
Better get some air
Outside bright
Outside stylish
Look up high
Look up long
Get free
Where’s the power?
Trading deals
Serves a purpose
Between two worlds

ECHO CHAMBERS
Look! There’s another one
Could stick them to the wall
Must run deep through the veins
Existence all the way
Allowed to keep this one
Shows I’m clean again
Dreamed of elegance
Said ‘good luck’ to you
Turn away from the mirror
The pay-off remains
Sell yourself for nothing
This chat is for free
For free
Look! How easily it’s done
Run from pillar to post
You can say all you want
Since it’s easy to swing
Out of sight is tradition
I’ve seen youdo it so well
Conditioned by loyalty
Depending on the gains
Turn away from the mirror
The pay-off remains
Sell yourself for nothing
This chat is for free
For free
Look! Unsteady motivation
Looks like you’re alone
Fuelled by the memories
Shaped to reinforce
Uncomfortable distance
You believe what you say
Swim around in your puddle
I won’t stand in your way
Convincing outside
That does not reveal
The deep void, no power
Big sister is watching you
Watching you

REVEAL
What you thinking?
What you doing?
What’s you’re next move?
Somewhere on time
Maybe not?
Inside your head
You want the fear
Keeps you alive
All you see
Reveal
Where you going?
Where you heading?
Where’s your next trick
Free tickets, everytime
Turn away
Sit and watch
You’ll return again
Keeps you alive
All you see
Reveal
When you living?
When you breathing?
When you going to stay?
Life of living
The curtain falls
Barren, like always
Keeps you alive
All you see
Reveal

SONOGRAM
You’d have to wonder
Please, one of you just think
Most telling five times more
That self-image
It seems as if
We are all performers
Twisted persuasion
Twisted persuasion
In the blink of an eye
In the blink of an eye
Technicians of truth
Like to call the shots
Quick, got to get online
With their clientele
Ensure it’s all wrapped up
Captured tight
Twisted persuasion
Twisted persuasion
In the blink of an eye
In the blink of an eye
Don’t feed the victim
Keep your options open
Who are your friends?
Dark glass cracked ceilings
I have no desire
In the real world
Twisted persuasion
Twisted persuasion
In the blink of an eye
In the blink of an eye
Twisted deception
Always
Twisted perception
Always
Twisted deception
Always
Injected from
Old ways
Old ways

ELEVATED WALKWAYS
Seen the news today
Big mistake, keep scrolling
Won’t buy into it
How they buy into it
Tactical, target fuel
Brought it to the table
Not to my table
You know it all
You know it all
What you sow
What you sow
I know what happens next
Many times
My thoughts are not here
My body elsewhere
Drowning in this toxic soup
Getting nowhere fast
Almost as if I
Will be transformed
To not be a puppet
Conditioned to obey
Conditioned to obey
Turn on itself
Turn on itself
I know what happens next
Unscrew your past
Leave it in a ditch
Rain will wash away
The dirt, the grime
Just when you thought
Strangers were on side
Can’t work with these strangers
They’re not my currency
Time spent wasted
Time spent wasted
Only this place
Only this place
I know what happens next
