Faded Photograph

I have in mind a faded photograph of my own.
I see myself in the foreground, and I am filled with fantasy.

Take Some Time
03:38
|
|||
|
Take some time
Take a deep breath and think it through
Take some time
Slow it down
Dim the noise
Dial it in
Hear your voice
Feel its real
Feel it mend
Work it out
Amongst your friends
Amongst your friends
Take some time

Seems a Shame

Shame...
Hey look it's a lovely day!
It seems a shame to waste it
Did you manage to get away?
It matters not either way kid
Because you're here and now
So take deep breaths like you mean it
You'll see you're safe and sound
Even if you don't feel it
This world of ours has
A funny way of slowing down time
And this poor brain of mine needs
A simple way of getting out of my mind
Out of my mind
Seems a shame to...
Hey look it's a miserable day!
It seems a shame to waste it
So get out in to the rain
And soak yourself on the pavement
And when you're feeling cold
Well stay there just a little
You might just thank your soul
Return yourself to the middle
It seems a shame to waste the day away
When I could be getting out of my mind
Out of mind
Seems a shame to
Waste the day dude
Shame...

Chosen to Fly
03:26
|

Some days I've found
That nothing in this world can bring me down
Chosen to fly
With colour and sound
Sometimes I find
Costs nothing in this world to treat me kind
Chosen to soar
Chosen to fly
I have chosen to soar
I have chosen to fly
Fly
Take some weight off your feet my friend
Lay your back on the grass
Take a look at the sky and then
Fly
Chosen to soar
Chosen to fly
Take some weight off your feet my friend
Lay your back on the grass
Take a look at the sky again
Let the moment go past
And fly
(away)

Thinking Greatly
02:53
|
|||
|
Lately, I've been thinking greatly
If the weight the head I carry could save me
If I think bravely that all my pain is savoury
Then like a fruit tree, I'll bloom those things that made me

Mind Like a Motorbike
03:30
|

|
Please mouth forgive my brain for talking so loud
I've got a mind like a motorbike, it's drowning you out
I need to
Take a backwards step, get back on the ground
Before it gets in the way of all these glorious sounds
Glorious sounds
Please brain forgive my mouth for talking it out
I've got a mouth like a motorbike, it's revving so loud
I need to
Shut the engine off and try to come down
Before it gets in the way of learning something profound
Something profound
A pity to wait for the closing of gates and the Autumn time
As if far too late for the changing of ways and the Spring you gave
Let's sail off to sea
Just you and me
And we'll sail round the world and we'll waste all our sunsets on ocean breeze
Glorious sounds
Something profound

From Me Again
03:09
|
|||
|
Some days all I think about are grey clouds
Looming over my head again
Some days all I dream about are grey towns
Zooming by my rainy window panes
Well lately I've been at a kind of junction
Two unknown paths
Plus where I've just been
I'll likely pick the one that helps me function
And helps me climb out of this hole I'm in
Well these are rainy days
So let's wait for rays to shine through
All these clouds of grey, when they start to fade
That's on you
So I need a holiday
To help me get away
From me again
And I need to get away
In search of sunny days
Did you ever wonder why you don't have to try?
You need to slow it down, you need to take some time
From me again

Amber Glow
04:51
|

|
I'm caught in the amber glow
I'm contemplating the path I'm taking
It's overgrown
And though it feels like the way is weighted
It's yours alone
I feel this
Just wish I could tell you so
Cos' I want to
Reach out to you and
Tell you that I'm proud of all these
Books that you've been
Keeping on your shelf
Well don't tell me anything please
Cos' I want to find out by myself
I thought that I had more time
I walk too slowly, the path was lonely
The bell it chimes
And when it's ringing it drowns my singing
Like Winter time
I see you
With added lines
Still I want to
Reach out to you and
Tell you that I'm proud of all these
Books that you've been
Keeping on your shelf
Well don't tell me anything please
Cos' I want to find out by myself

Summer Rain
03:55
|
|||
|
I have in mind
A photograph of my own
And I see myself in the foreground
And I am filled with wonder
And in my eyes I see
Last Summer
Where I learned to love myself
For every flaw
And every wealth
And bright do my eyes shine
When the music comes
In the Summer time
And open do my ears unfold
Like blossomed lotus
Or marigold
And bright should my eyes shine
When the music's gone
And the bell it chimes
And open should my heart remain
Like blossomed lotus
In Summer rain

August Flowers
04:07

Locked out
Of my brain again
I feel knocked out
Every now and then
Like there's a chain lock
Buried deep within
And I can't find the combination to get me in
But I've found that it's not for me to know
Until I've learned to let things go
August, August Flowers
Gather on my windowsill
And stay there till' the Summer spills
Into Autumn, Autumn hours
As the petals start to fade
And settle in the shade
August Flowers
Is there a place that
You used to go?
Or a face that
You used to know?
Do you feel distant
With who you were?
Well I tell you friend that it will mend
If you endure
Cos' I've found that it's not for me to sing
Unless I've given everything
Another time or place, maybe...
But who cares?
You're here
So breathe in
Breathe out and sing it

I Feel More Me

It definitely feels different
In a much more enriching way
In a way I feel more me than I did

A View from This Side
04:57
|
|||
|
I'm looking forward to that old western sky
Painted deserts and embers that fly
I'm walking home to that stiff Western breeze
Bobbing along like a ship on the sea
And when it comes to being that time
I'll sail away all on my own and leave this behind
To find
A view from this side
I'm humming along to those old Eastern tunes
Admire the mountains and landscape of dunes
I'm singing along to those soft subtle songs
I'm finally heading to where I belong
And when it comes to being that time
I'll sail away all on my own and leave this behind
To find
A view from this side
