Begin

What is it that drives me to begin?
When I’m tired
Don’t stretch it out too thin
I got a need to see something set right
At least to speak my heart and my mind
I’m gonna call it out and hey, I wanna see you run away
I’m gonna call it out and hey, I wanna see you run away
I’m gonna call it out and hey, I wanna see you run away
I’m gonna call it out and hey, I wanna see you run away
Remove these blinkers from eyes
So I can see through your disguise
Won’t suffer fools or politicians
When we all pay for your decisions
I’m gonna call it out and hey, I wanna see you run away
I’m gonna call it out and hey, I wanna see you run away
I’m gonna call it out and hey, I wanna see you run away
I’m gonna call it out and hey, I wanna see you run away
I want to run like the wind
I wanna run before I even begin
Just wanna wash my soul in the summer rain
But I can’t ignore the voices in my brain
I’m gonna call it out and hey, I wanna see you run away
I’m gonna call it out and hey, I wanna see you run away
I’m gonna call it out and hey, I wanna see you run away
I’m gonna call it out and hey, I wanna see you run away

Implode

I’m not up for tomorrow
But neither is anyone else
Mind if we miss the week?
I really could use the sleep
Cut off faded and borrowed
And running on pure caffeine
Mind if we miss the week?
I really could use the sleep
And all the stars are waiting to explode
While I’m starting to implode softly
And I may buckle underneath the load
Won’t you come and share this road with me?
With me
I’d let it fall by the wayside
But then I couldn’t live with myself
Mind if we miss the week?
I really could use some sleep
I’d let it fall into rubble
And come on, doesn’t everyone else?
Mind if we miss this week?
I just need to sleep
And all the stars are waiting to explode
While I’m starting to implode softly
And I may buckle underneath the load
Won’t you come and share this road with me?
With me
And I didn’t break down for you
To take everything you wanted to
No I wouldn’t give that to you
And all the stars are waiting to explode
While I’m starting to implode softly
And I may buckle underneath the load
Won’t you come and share the road with me?

You tried to say the right things at the right time
You try try try
But they’re not listening you’re just some pretty thing
So bye bye bye
Was it worth all the struggles?
Was it worth all your energy?
Integrity?
Your sense of self security?
It cost heaps
So put it in a box and sell it heaps
Coz no one seems to care that you’re on repeat
Repeat repeat
It cost heaps
It cost heaps
You tried to give him a chance
Give him one last try
You try try tried
But he’s still using stuck in this victim thing
So bye bye bye
Was it worth all the battles?
Was it worth making enemies from friends?
You see it cost much more than you need
Much more than you’d agreed
It cost heaps
So put it in a box and sell it heaps
Coz no one seems to care that you’re on repeat
Repeat repeat
It cost heaps
Yeah yeah yeah
It cost
It’s the price you’re gonna pay if you don't get out, walk away
Well it’s the price you’re gonna pay if you don't get out, walk away
Well it’s the price you’re gonna pay if you don't get out, walk away
Well it’s the price you’re gonna pay
Oh It cost heaps
So put it in a box and sell it heaps
Coz no one seems to care that you’re on repeat
They’re taking from you when you’re tryin to sleep
And it repeats it repeats it repeats
Everybody knows
Everybody sees
It cost heaps
Yeah yeah yeah

Insanity
03:20
|
|||
|
Pressure’s building again
And I need recovery time
And dammit I’m tired
But I’m gonna see it through
Coz I got visions friend
I can’t ignore the signs/science
So dammit I’ll try
Coz what else can I do?
A burning ship lost out at sea
Out on a sea of galaxies
There’s no time for human greed
Give back
Take only what you need
Insanity
Distracted again
Coz we need recovery time
Dammit we’re tired and they know it to be true
The rich get richer and fatter
Never satisfied
Commandeering our ride
To make it hard for me and you
A burning ship lost out at sea
Out on a sea of galaxies
There’s no time for human greed
Give back
Take only what you need
Insanity
And the ones at the top don’t want it to stop
They gonna make it feel harder
Gonna make it feel hotter
And the ones at the top don’t want it to stop
They gonna make it feel harder
Gonna make it feel hotter
And the ones at the top don’t want it to stop
They gonna make it feel harder
Gonna make it feel hotter
And the ones at the top don’t want it to stop
A burning ship lost out at sea
Out on a sea of galaxies
There’s no time for human greed
Give back
Take only what you need
Insanity
Why’s it my responsibility
When you muck it up deliberately
And then try to shift the blame on me
Try to shift the blame on me
Pressure’s building again
And I need recovery time
And dammit I’m tired
But I’m gonna see it through

Black Velvet

Black velvet voiced beauty
A song on her lips
A guitar at her fingertips
Gazing out over a sea of trees
Do you feel me on the breeze?
Did you just see me
Dancing in the leaves?
I’ve come to sit with you my friend
To feel your presence again and pretend
I’m in your crushed velvet embrace once again
Black Velvet woah
Yeah, hey
Black Velvet voiced beauty
A twinkle in her eye
A mischievous side
Black velvet voiced beauty
Makes a salad Devine
A Grecian delight
I’ve come to sit with you my friend
To feel your presence again and pretend
I’m in your crushed velvet embrace once again
Black Velvet
Black Velvet whoa
I want to take your hand in mind
To feel presence again and rewind
Go back in time
To when our voices intertwined
Black Velvet
Black Velvet
Black velvet voiced beauty
A song on her lips
A guitar at her fingertips

Reinvention
04:43
|

|
I’ll just go on and reinvent myself again
Yeah I’ll just go on reinventing myself again
Coz I can do anything
I can do anything
And there’s no one gonna cut me down
Or tell me how it’s done
Nobody’s gonna hold me down
When this wild spirit runs
Where the wind will blow
And I’m peeling back the layers
Of costume and pretend
Acting like I know the way
When I’m too scared to begin
I dive right in
Yeah it’s sink or swim
Challenge me now and I’ll reinvent myself again
Again again again
Challenges now I’m gonna have to reinvent myself again
Coz I can do anything
God I hope I can do anything
Come on now let’s reinvent ourselves again
Let’s just go on and rethink this whole thing out again
Coz we can do anything
You said we could do anything
Oh I’m peeling back the layers
Of costume and pretend
Acting like I know the way
When I’m too scared to begin
I dive right in
Yeah it’s sink or swim
I’ll just go on and reinvent myself again
Yeah I’ll just go on and reinvent myself again
Again, again
Again, again
Again, again, again

Lemonade
02:00
|

|
If you’d look up
Glance over this way
You’d see me contorted
With a sour looking face
A little bit puzzled
A little bit mean
A little bit surprised
By this giant lemon tree
But there you sit
Basking in it’s shade
It smells so sweet
And it makes you wanna stay
I don’t wanna play dirty
Don’t wanna be cliche
But if you give me lemons
Imma make a lemonade
I’ll sell it out on the corner of the street
20 cents a cup and it’s tasting mighty sweet
I’ll start at the bottom
I’ll work my way up
You’ll be drinking your own lemons
Mixed with sugar from my cup
I don’t wanna play dirty
Don’t wanna be cliche
But if you give me lemons
Imma make a lemonade
I don’t wanna play dirty
Don’t wanna be cliche
But if you give me lemons
Imma make a lemonade
And the longer I live
The more lemons seem to grow
Tiny ones and gnarly ones
All lined up in a row
It seems like other people
Start to drop em off for me
And I’m never short on lemons
To satisfy your needs
I’ll sell it out on the corner of the street
20 cents a cup and it’s tasting mighty sweet
I’ll start at the bottom
I’ll work my way up
You’ll be drinking your own lemons
And just lappin’ em up
I don’t wanna play dirty
Don’t wanna be cliche
But if you give me lemons
Imma make a lemonade
I don’t wanna play dirty
Don’t wanna be cliche
But if you give me lemons
Imma make a lemonade
I don’t wanna play dirty
Don’t wanna be cliche
But if you give me lemons
Imma make a lemonade
Imma make a lemonade
Imma make a lemonade

Come On Let's Go
02:42
|

|
It’s creeping closer to midnight
Don’t wanna sing
I just wanna sleep
But I opened my big mouth
Now I’ve got promises to keep
And I, I
Don’t have time for this, no
I’m gonna do it anyway
I said, come on let’s go
Have I got time for this, no
I’m gonna do it anyway
I said, come on let’s go
They say that I should’ve died by now
But I must have something to do
Well who knows if that’s true
A lucky set of circumstances
Survivors guilt can wait
Coz I’ve been gifted a chance
Have I got time for this, no
I’m gonna do it anyway
I said, come on let’s go
Have I got time for this, no
I’m gonna do it anyway
I said, come on let’s go
Have I got time for this, no
I’m gonna do it anyway
I said, come on let’s go
I’m like an escaped balloon
The winds pushing me I can’t plan my moves
Well open mouth, insert my foot
Coz I got an awful lot to learn
But I speak more than I should
Have I got time for this, no
I’m gonna do it anyway
I said, come on let’s go
Have I got time for this, no
I’m gonna do it anyway
I said, come on let’s go
Have I got time for this, no
I’m gonna do it anyway
I said come on let's go
No ones got the time but we got no more time to waste
Well I said, No ones got the time but we got no more time to waste
Well I said, No ones got the time but we got no more time to waste
Well I said, No ones got the time but we got no more time to waste
Well I said, No ones got the time
No ones got the time
No ones got the time
No ones got the time
No ones got the time
No ones got the time
Got the time

Paradox
02:56
|

|
Well I saw it coming
But I couldn’t let it go
I thought about running
But I just wanted you to know
That both these things are true
Here in the chaos of my mind
And as I hold this space for you
I feel my life is slipping on by
And I just cannot let it go
Well I saw it coming
But I was happy to buy in
I thought it might be better
To live in someone else's skin
So I bent myself in two
And then I stepped inside that box
And I believed it to be true
And I ignored the subtle knocking
Of my knowing in the basement
Where she couldn’t let it go
Yeah, she couldn’t let it go
Oh I couldn’t let it go
Yeah, I couldn’t let it go
Yeah I couldn’t let it go let it go let it go let it go
Well I saw it coming
But I could not let it go
I thought about running
But I just wanted you to know
That both these things are true
Here in the chaos of my mind
And while I hold this space for you
I feel my life is slipping on by
And I just cannot let it go
Yeah I cannot let it go
I couldn’t let it go
No I couldn’t let it go
No I could not let it go
I cannot let it go
I cannot let it go
I will not let it go
I cannot let it go let it go let it go let it go

My Naked Voice
01:11
|
|||
|
My naked voice is vulnerable
Out for all to hear
Filled with imperfections
You can hear them crystal clear
My naked voice is powerful
For it’s humanity
That’s why I share my story
With you so openly
Coz maybe you will find
Just one small seed of hope
When it cracks and wobbles
And if I start to choke
And maybe you will sing
Just as nude as me
And we could start a choir
Set each other free

Explode
04:03
|

|
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
Think we waited far too long
For the stories to be told
There’s a time there’s a place
There’s a human with a face
Here’s my arms to welcome you home
Think I thought that I was brave
When I wandered out alone
But I was running from the dark
From the shadows in my heart
How I wish you’d beckon me home
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
Think the stories can't help but fly
Don’t try to bottle them up inside
They’re gonna break free
Out of you and me
What’s the use in trying to hide
The messages between the lines
Are revealed by passing time
So don’t lie to me coz one day I’ll see
And you’ve wasted both of our time
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
They say anger isn’t useful or ladylike
But anger is my catalyst
My creative fire
And nothing ever changes just by sitting there and crying
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
(I’m narrating my movements to remember what I’ve done
It’s all so overwhelming, it’s just all so overwhelming)
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
I don’t wanna implode
So I’m gonna explode
