Purple Hearts

 # 💜 Purple Hearts

* A song about the Mods, the midnight rush, and the morning after *

Verse 1 — The Purple Glow

Purple hearts beneath the city lights, Dancing shadows through the Friday nights, A silver scooter humming down the street, A thousand restless hearts that never missed a beat.

There’s a fire in my veins, a spark behind my eyes, The whole world feels electric, I could touch the skies, Every word comes easy, every face a friend, I feel like I could dance until the weekend ends.

Chorus — Purple Hearts

Oh, purple hearts, take me away, Make me feel invincible, make me king today, With a racing mind and a heart that flies, I’m chasing forever underneath these skies.

Oh, purple hearts, that beautiful lie, You give me wings, then you leave me dry, From the highest heaven to the coldest blue, I lose myself in the things you do.

Verse 2 — The Weekend Warriors

The record spins around, the dance floor starts to sway, I feel no need for sleep, I could go on all day, My mind is sharp as diamonds, my confidence is gold, I’m living every moment like I’ll never grow old.

The music sounds like thunder, the lights begin to blur, Every little feeling seems a thousand times more sure, I laugh a little louder, I talk a little fast, I want to hold this feeling, I want to make it last.

Chorus — Purple Hearts

Oh, purple hearts, take me away, Make me feel invincible, make me king today, With a racing mind and a heart that flies, I’m chasing forever underneath these skies.

Oh, purple hearts, that beautiful lie, You give me wings, then you leave me dry, From the highest heaven to the coldest blue, I lose myself in the things you do.

Verse 3 — The Cracks in the Morning

But Sunday morning whispers, and the room turns grey, The magic that I borrowed starts to fade away, My laughter turns to silence, my confidence to fear, The music's stopped, the night is gone, and loneliness is here.

My body feels like lead now, my thoughts are running wild, The world that seemed so wonderful feels cruel and undefiled, I gave away my sleep to chase a golden flame, And now I'm standing in the darkness, barely feeling the same.

Bridge — The Price of the High

Was it happiness I wanted, or a place to hide? Was it freedom that I tasted, or a prison deep inside? For a little while, the world was mine, Every second glittered, every star did shine.

But no chemical can promise that the good times never end, And the thing that feels like magic may become your closest friend That turns against you slowly when the daylight comes around, Leaving only tired hearts where the purple lights once shone down.

Final Chorus — Purple Hearts

Oh, purple hearts, where did you go? You made me feel like fire, then you left me cold, I was dancing with the angels, I was flying through the night, Now I'm searching for the person I was underneath the lights.

Oh, purple hearts, your spell has been cast, A moment of forever that was never meant to last, From the Mods upon their scooters to the dawn's first pale blue, There's a price for chasing feelings that can never stay true.

Outro — When the Music Fades

Purple hearts, beneath the moon, The morning always comes too soon, A racing heart, a fading dream, Nothing's ever quite as perfect as it seems.

The records stop, the streets grow still, The night gives back what the night can steal, And somewhere in the silence, I begin to see The feeling I was chasing wasn't setting me free.

Numb Beneath the Skin

 # Numb Beneath the Skin

**Verse 1**

Numb Beneath the Skin,

Dead in the water,

Frozen in a pond

Where the night gets darker.

Cold beneath my skin,

Take hold of my hands

And pull me further in.

Crawling skeletons

Come dragging through the mud,

Bones against the concrete,

Teeth beneath the flood.

Tell that to my face,

Tell that to me now,

No use telling them

They won't hear you anyhow.

**Chorus**

Numb Beneath the Skin

But I'm still moving on.

A walking skeleton

With everything gone.

No excuses, please,

No apologies tonight.

I'm moving through the darkness

Looking for another light.

**Verse 2**

What might have been

Is buried underneath,

Among the broken bones

And the dirt beneath my feet.

Take hold of my hands,

Don't let me disappear.

There's something in the distance

That keeps drawing me near.

Frozen in a pond,

But the water starts to rise.

Crawling skeletons

Are staring through my eyes.

Tell that to my face,

Tell me what you know.

No use telling them—

They're already below.

**Chorus**

Numb Beneath the Skin,

Dead in the water.

Walking through the ruins

Like a forgotten daughter.

No excuses, please,

No apologies remain.

I'm carrying these bones

Through the acid rain.

**Verse 3**

Everything comes loose.

Skin becomes a memory,

The body has no use.

I'm moving in the next world,

Or somewhere in between,

A walking skeleton

In a landscape never seen.

Numb Beneath the Skin,

But something still survives.

A voice inside the ribcage,

A pulse beneath the ice.

The crawling skeletons

Keep following behind.

They cannot take the last thing

That is still inside my mind.

**Final Chorus**

Numb Beneath the Skin,

Dead in the water.

Frozen in the darkness

But I won't stay under.

Take hold of my hands,

Pull me through the cold.

No excuses, please,

No stories left untold.

Tell that to my face.

Tell that to my bones.

Tell that to the skeletons

That crawl across the stones.

Numb Beneath the Skin,

But I'm moving somehow.

Moving in the next world,

Moving through it now.

**Outro**

What might have been

Is gone.

No excuses.

No apologies.

Tell that to my face.

Tell that to the crawling skeletons.

I'm Numb Beneath the Skin—

But I'm still moving.

They Know Where I Am

 # They Know Where I Am

**Verse 1**

I see them waiting at the crossing,

Standing underneath the light.

I change direction, keep on walking,

Still they're somewhere out of sight.

Engines growl along the roadway,

Headlights cutting through the rain.

Every time I try to disappear,

Something brings me back again.

They are stalking me,

They are following my trail.

They are playing mind games,

Trying to make me fail.

I can feel the pressure rising,

I can hear it in the street.

Every road I take tonight

Feels like somewhere we will meet.

**Chorus**

There's a conspiracy against me,

And the fear is closing in.

They're watching every movement,

Waiting for the moment to begin.

I run, I hide, I disappear,

But somehow they are always near.

There's a conspiracy against me,

And tonight it feels too real.

**Verse 2**

Now the footsteps sound behind me,

Getting closer as I run.

Every stranger has a purpose,

Every shadow could be someone.

Phones are ringing in the darkness,

Unknown voices, silent calls.

I can feel the pressure building,

Like a warning through the walls.

They are stalking me,

They are playing with my mind.

Every message has a meaning,

Every signal has a sign.

I don't know how far it reaches,

I don't know how deep it goes.

But the fear keeps getting stronger

Everywhere I turn and go.

**Chorus**

There's a conspiracy against me,

Now it's closing every door.

They're watching every movement,

And I can't take this anymore.

I run, I hide, I disappear,

But somehow they are always near.

There's a conspiracy against me,

And the whole world feels involved.

**Verse 3**

Now I'm running through the city,

Neon burning in my eyes.

Cars are slowing at the corners,

Figures moving through the night.

Every window looks like someone,

Every face is staring back.

I can feel them getting closer,

I can feel them on my track.

They are stalking me.

They are playing mind games.

They want to keep me frightened,

They want to drive me insane.

The conspiracy is spreading,

Like a signal through the wires.

Every second pushes harder,

Every breath becomes a fire.

**Chorus**

There's a conspiracy against me,

Now there's nowhere left to go.

They're watching every movement,

And they're letting me know.

I can't sleep, I can't stay still,

I can't silence what I feel.

There's a conspiracy against me,

And the pressure keeps increasing.

**Bridge**

Don't tell me to forget it.

Don't tell me to walk away.

I know what I have experienced,

I know the price I pay.

I've been pushed into the darkness,

I've been hunted by the fear.

And every time I think it's over,

Something tells me they're still here.

**Final Chorus**

There's a conspiracy against me,

Now the night has come alive.

They're watching every movement,

And they're waiting outside.

Every street becomes a warning,

Every sound becomes a threat.

I keep moving through the darkness,

But they haven't caught me yet.

There's a conspiracy against me,

And the fear is at its peak.

They're stalking me, they're watching me,

They're everywhere I look and see.

I don't know where this ends tonight,

I only know I have to fight.

The darkness keeps surrounding me—

But I'm still here.

I'm still alive.

**Outro**

They are

 stalking me.

They are playing mind games.

There's a conspiracy against me.

And I keep moving.

I keep moving.

I keep moving.

They want me dead

# They’re Watching

**Verse 1**

They want me dead,

They want to make me unalive.

They want to destroyed me,

They are conspiring against me.

They are lying to me,

They are playing mind games with me,

They are stalking me,

I feel them everywhere I go.

Footsteps echo down the street,

Every shadow follows me.

Streetlights flicker overhead,

I hear whispers in my head.

Every window, every door,

Makes me wonder even more.

I keep looking over my shoulder,

The night just seems to grow colder.

**Chorus**

They're watching, watching, watching me,

The conspiracy surrounds me.

Every shadow, every sound,

Feels like someone's coming round.

They're watching, watching, watching me,

I can't escape what I believe.

My heart is racing through the night,

I'm searching for a place of light.

**Verse 2**

They are lying to me,

They are playing mind games with me.

Every word becomes a clue,

Every face looks strange and new.

I walk faster through the rain,

Trying to outrun what's in my brain.

Neon colours start to bleed,

Fear becomes the air I breathe.

Telephone ringing in the dark,

Unknown numbers leave their mark.

Curtains moving, passing cars,

Every streetlight looks like stars.

I don't know what's real tonight,

I only know I'm losing sight.

The conspiracy is growing,

And my fear keeps overflowing.

**Chorus**

They're watching, watching, watching me,

The conspiracy surrounds me.

Every shadow, every sound,

Feels like someone's coming round.

They're watching, watching, watching me,

I can't escape what I believe.

My heart is racing through the night,

I'm searching for a place of light.

**Verse 3**

Now every footstep sounds too close,

Every stranger looks like a ghost.

Every car that slows down near me,

Makes me wonder who could be.

Every phone call, every stare,

Makes me feel they're everywhere.

The walls feel closer than before,

I don't trust the locks upon the door.

My breathing gets faster,

My heartbeat pounds,

I hear distant voices

In the city sounds.

The conspiracy is in my mind,

A thousand questions intertwined.

I can't tell where the shadows end,

I can't tell foe from stranger or friend.

**Chorus**

They're watching, watching, watching me,

The conspiracy is surrounding me.

Every shadow, every sound,

Feels like someone's closing in now.

They're watching, watching, watching me,

My fear won't let me breathe.

My heart is racing through the night,

I'm trapped inside this endless fight,

I'm searching, searching for the light.

**Bridge**

Stop the voices, stop the noise,

Give me back my inner voice.

The fear is screaming through my head,

Turning every thought to dread.

I can breathe, I can remain,

I don't have to become the pain.

The night is long, but morning comes,

And slowly all the shadows run.

**Final Chorus**

They're watching, watching, watching me,

The conspiracy is all I see.

Every shadow, every sound,

Everywhere I look they're coming round.

They're watching, watching, watching me,

I can't escape the fear I feel.

My heart is pounding through the night,

I'm running from the dark inside.

They're watching, watching, watching me,

The whole world feels like it's closing in.

They're watching, watching, watching me,

I don't know where the nightmare ends.

Through the darkness, through the night,

I keep searching for the light.

I keep breathing, I survive,

I am still here, I am alive.

**Outro**

They want me dead...

They want to make me unalive...

They want to destroyed me...

They are conspiring against me...

They are lying to me...

They are playing mind games with me...

They are stalking me...

They're watching me.

They're watching me.

They're watching me.

But I'm still alive.

ostracising, disowning and excommunicating

 **Verse 1**

I am ostracising, disowning and excommunicating,

I walked away from the ties that left me suffocating.

I chose my own peace, I chose to be free,

I finally stopped letting them define me.

No more walking backwards, no more living in fear,

I’m breathing in freedom, the future is here.

I’ve carried their weight, but I’m putting it down,

I’m finding my smile, I’m reclaiming my ground.

**Chorus**

I am ostracising, disowning and excommunicating,

But I’m fucking alive and I’m celebrating!

I chose my own mind, I chose my own way,

I’m waking up stronger with every new day.

Ostracising — I’m free!

Disowning — I’m me!

Excommunicating — so let the whole world see:

I cut the chains and I finally breathe!

**Verse 2**

I don’t need their permission, I don’t need their lies,

I’m looking at tomorrow with my head held high.

The past can scream, but I’m walking away,

I’m building something better with each fucking day.

No more guilt, no more shadows following me,

No more pretending to be someone they want me to be.

I lost a family, but I found my voice,

And choosing myself was the best fucking choice.

**Chorus**

I am ostracising, disowning and excommunicating,

But I’m fucking alive and I’m celebrating!

I chose my own mind, I chose my own way,

I’m waking up stronger with every new day.

Ostracising — I’m free!

Disowning — I’m me!

Excommunicating — so let the whole world see:

I cut the chains and I finally breathe!

**Outro**

Ostracising.

Disowning.

Excommunicating.

And fucking free.

I chose myself.

I chose my peace.

I chose to live.

Save the Last Spliff

 **Save the Last Spliff**

**Verse 1**

The television whispers

To a room that's gone to sleep,

Streetlights paint the ceiling

In a colour cold and deep.

The bills are on the table,

Like little ghosts in rows,

And every passing minute

Is somewhere that nobody goes.

I've been staring at the window

Watching strangers disappear,

Everybody's going somewhere,

I don't know why I'm still here.

**Pre-Chorus**

So turn the lights down slowly,

Let the evening lose its shape,

I've got nowhere I need to be,

And nothing left to chase.

**Chorus**

Save the last spliff for me,

When the night becomes too loud,

Let the smoke become a doorway

Through the noise and through the crowd.

Save the last spliff for me,

Let the colours drift and spin,

Maybe somewhere in the silence

I can find myself again.

**Verse 2**

The ceiling starts to breathe now,

The wallpaper starts to swim,

A distant train is calling

From somewhere on the rim.

Athens is a postcard

Pinned beside my bed,

White walls beneath the sunlight,

Blue skies overhead.

I'm saving every penny

For a place I've never seen,

While dreaming of another world

Behind the television screen.

**Pre-Chorus**

And maybe I don't need to run,

Maybe I don't need to hide,

Maybe there's another way

To take a journey inside.

**Chorus**

Save the last spliff for me,

When the night becomes too loud,

Let the smoke become a doorway

Through the noise and through the crowd.

Save the last spliff for me,

Let the colours drift and spin,

Maybe somewhere in the silence

I can find myself again.

**Bridge**

Don't tell me that tomorrow

Will be better than today,

I've heard that song a thousand times

And watched the years decay.

Just sit beside me quietly,

You don't have to understand,

Sometimes all a broken heart needs

Is another human hand.

**Psychedelic Outro**

The room is turning silver,

The shadows turn to gold,

The clock becomes a carousel,

The future becomes old.

Athens waits beyond the morning,

The sea is somewhere blue,

And for a moment in the darkness

I can almost make it through.

Save the last spliff for me...

Save the last spliff for me...

But when the morning finds me,

I'll put my shoes beside the door,

Maybe I'll step outside again,

Maybe I'll see a little more.

Save the last spliff for me...

Tonight I'm staying here.

Tomorrow is another day,

And tomorrow can come near.

The debts are piling up

 **Verse 1**

The debts are piling up,

The letters through the door,

I count the coins upon the table,

Then I count them once more.

I've got no bud,

Got no hope cos I've got no dope,

The walls are slowly breathing,

And I'm hanging by a thread of hope.

**Chorus**

I'm trying to save up for a trip to Athens,

Dreaming of the sunlight on the stone,

But when the night comes crawling through my window,

I don't want to be here on my own.

So I'll take a trip inside,

Where the colours slowly change,

Ride the waves inside my mind,

Till I find my way again.

**Verse 2**

The ceiling turns to purple,

The shadows start to sway,

I hear the distant traffic

Like an ocean far away.

I've got nowhere to run to,

I've got nowhere left to hide,

So I close my eyes and wander

To another place inside.

**Chorus**

I'm trying to save up for a trip to Athens,

Dreaming of the sunlight on the stone,

But when the night comes crawling through my window,

I don't want to be here on my own.

So I'll take a trip inside,

Where the colours slowly change,

Ride the waves inside my mind,

Till I find my way again.

**Bridge**

Maybe Athens isn't somewhere

You can reach upon a train,

Maybe sometimes getting through the darkness

Is the journey just the same.

And somewhere in the distance

There's a morning I can see,

A little piece of sunlight

Waiting there for me.

**Final Chorus**

I'm trying to save up for a trip to Athens,

Maybe I'll get there someday soon,

Walking through the ancient streets at sunrise,

Underneath a strange and beautiful moon.

I won't take the final trip tonight,

I'll let the restless feeling pass,

I'll take a trip inside my imagination

And wait for morning to arrive at last.

make myself unalive

 Slice my wrists

 jump off the edge

 into a clear lake

 no one around 

just suicide make myself unalive 

The clear water turns blood-red,

Like something biblical, something foretold.

The trees stand silent on the shore,

While crimson shadows fill the cold.

No angel comes, no trumpet sounds,

No voice descends from heaven above.

Just blood-red water beneath a dying sky,

And the weight of everything I was.

The trees don't answer

The water doesn't speak

I'm disappearing slowly

Somewhere underneath

Alcohol and sleeping pills 

voices telling me to take an overdose 

Trying to make the voices stop

Another night, another room

Another reason not to talk

I'm better off dead

Or that's what the darkness said

Every thought inside my head

Pulls me somewhere I don't want to go

I will see you in the next life

No one knows what's underneath

The silence that I wear

I laugh when people look at me

But nobody sees despair

 morning  does not changes things

shadows change their shape

 I can't find one reason

To survive another day

I'm better off dead

Those words are in my head

The voices inside my head are commands

And tonight I'll try to stand and jump off the edge 

I will see you in the next life

cotton wool

Wrap me up in cotton wool

and protect me from the world.

I'm delicate and fragile,

and I don't want to go outside,

Keep the curtains closed,

let the morning pass me by,

let the streets remain distant,

let the darkness be my sky.

I don't want the noise,

I don't want the crowds,

I don't want the questions,

or the voices growing loud.

Give me somewhere quiet,

where nothing can go wrong,

where I can disappear

and simply just belong.

Wrap me up a little tighter,

keep the cold away from me,

build a little shelter

where the world cannot reach me.

I am tired of being careful,

tired of trying to be strong,

tired of pretending everything

has never felt so wrong.

So let me stay inside tonight,

where the walls can hold me still,

where I can breathe without the fear

of having to climb another hill.

And if tomorrow calls my name,

perhaps I won't answer then;

perhaps I'll find the strength someday

to open up the door again.

But for now, wrap me up in cotton wool,

and let the outside world go on.

Let me have this little sanctuary

until I feel strong enough for dawn.

Techni Tou Dromou

 **[Intro]**

Yeah…

From Manchester to Birmingham,

Steel forged in Sheffield,

Art on the walls…

Techni Tou Dromou.

**[Verse 1]**

Based in Manchester, where the rain hits hard,

Made in Birmingham, leaving my mark,

Tempered with Sheffield steel, forged for the real,

Standing on the streets with an iron-clad feel.

Because you know I'm real, no counterfeit deal,

Rolling through the city with a heart made of steel,

Graffiti on the walls, murals in the street,

Every corner got a rhythm, every pavement got a beat.

From Liverpool to Leicester, travelling the scene,

Every town in between, you know where I've been,

Colours on the brickwork, stories on the wall,

Street-art masterpieces rising tall.

**[Chorus]**

Techni Tou Dromou, that's the art of the road,

Make a hotel my abode, lighten up the load,

Travelling down the road, everywhere I go,

Forward I go, 'cause I'm a busy bee, you know.

Techni Tou Dromou, with the city underneath,

Got the northern rhythm and the southern beat,

From the urban concrete to the open street,

Keep moving forward 'til the journey's complete.

**[Verse 2]**

Got my name from ancient Greek, that's deep in the soul,

A philosophy of movement, always chasing the goal,

Never staying still, gotta travel and roam,

Every hotel I enter temporarily becomes home.

Manchester mornings, Birmingham nights,

Sheffield steel shining underneath the streetlights,

Liverpool colours, Leicester designs,

Every city leaves a little piece behind.

Graffiti artists painting dreams in the rain,

Murals turning concrete into something again,

Every wall tells a story, every journey's unique,

I read the whole city like an ancient Greek.

**[Chorus]**

Techni Tou Dromou, that's the art of the road,

Make a hotel my abode, lighten up the load,

Travelling down the road, everywhere I go,

Forward I go, 'cause I'm a busy bee, you know.

Techni Tou Dromou, with the city underneath,

Got the northern rhythm and the southern beat,

From the urban concrete to the open street,

Keep moving forward 'til the journey's complete.

**[Bridge]**

No destination's final, every mile's a new page,

Every street's a canvas, every town's a stage,

Steel in my spirit and a fire in my feet,

The road keeps calling and I follow its beat.

**[Final Verse]**

So raise up the colours, let the city walls speak,

Manchester to Leicester, seven days a week,

Birmingham beginnings, Sheffield made me strong,

Liverpool to everywhere, I'm moving along.

Techni Tou Dromou, remember the name,

The art of the road, that's the heart of the game,

No matter where I travel, no matter what I see,

Forward I go — I'm a busy bee.

**[Outro]**

Manchester made me,

Birmingham shaped me,

Sheffield steel tempered me,

The road awaits me.

Techni Tou Dromou…

The art of the road.

Forward I go.

Busy bee.

Hotchpotch Hippo Parade

 **Hotchpotch Hippo Parade**

Orange, blue and pink

dripping from the kitchen sink,

sticky stars and marmalade

spinning through the window shade.

Hotchpotch afternoons collide,

bicycle planets rolling by,

cardboard birds with lemon eyes

flutter through the tangerine sky.

There’s a hippo in the hallway

wearing glitter on his shoes,

humming tiny radio songs

in electric shades of blue.

He says the moon’s a peppermint button

floating in a bowl of rain,

and all the clocks have melted backwards

down the copper weather vane.

Orange umbrellas growing feathers,

pink pianos made of foam,

blue mosquitoes playing banjos

on the roof above the home.

Hotchpotch people made of jelly

dance around the traffic light,

while the hippo paints the pavement

with a toothbrush in the night.

Candy clouds and paper oceans,

lazy elevators sigh,

telephones grow plastic flowers

every time somebody lies.

Orange cats with silver sideburns

sleep inside the laundromat,

pink balloons with blinking eyeballs

float above the welcome mat.

The hippo laughs in slow motion,

ripples wobbling through the room,

tiny planets in his teacup

orbit round a purple spoon.

Blue and orange, pink and silver,

everything begins to sway,

hotchpotch dreams inside a jukebox

buzzing softly till the day.

**Hotchpotch Hippo Parade**

Orange, blue and pink

spilling from the kitchen sink,

dripping through the radio wires

while the ceiling softly blinks.

There’s a hippo in the hallway

wearing marmalade cologne,

tap dancing on the tabletops

with a trumpet made of stone.

Hotchpotch afternoons are melting

through the tangerine TV,

all the clocks have started laughing

at the possibility.

The wallpaper grows seaweed curls,

the carpet breathes in tune,

tiny silver submarines

float around the moon.

Orange bicycles are orbiting

above the garden gate,

blue umbrellas full of jellybeans

arrived three hours late.

Pink flamingo telephones

ring inside the bath,

someone drew a motorway

across the cat’s moustache.

And the hippo keeps on grinning

through banana-coloured smoke,

blowing bubbles out the window

while the traffic signs all float.

Hotchpotch mornings in the sunlight,

hotchpotch evenings in the rain,

everybody swaps their shadows

on the backwards midnight train.

Orange, blue and pink

twisting through the lemonade sky,

paper planets spin like records

while the dragonflies drift by.

The hippo hums in stereo

beneath electric trees,

singing little rubber songs

to the marmalade breeze.

Hotchpotch dreams in cardboard castles,

hotchpotch stars in bowls of soup,

everything keeps folding softly

in a never-ending loop.

Thirty Years With Mary Jane

**Verse 1**

I’ve been married to Mary Jane for thirty years

Through the laughter, through the smoke, through the tears

She was a comfort, she was a quiet place to hide

But now she’s pulling something heavy on the inside

Every morning feels like ashes in my lungs

Every promise that she whispered comes undone

What once was love is now a tightening chain

And I’m learning how to live without the pain

**Chorus**

This year I’m getting a divorce

From the only love I ever knew of course

She’s slowly suffocating me, I can’t breathe

Giving me mental pain when she’s not with me

Cannabis, you’re no longer my life

No longer my wife, no longer my life

**Verse 2**

Late nights talking to the ceiling in my head

Lost conversations with the things she said

She used to calm the storm inside my mind

Now she leaves me trapped in another kind

I thought I needed her to make me whole

But she’s been taking pieces of my soul

What felt like peace has turned to fear

And I can’t keep pretending she belongs here

**Chorus**

This year I’m getting a divorce

From the only love I ever knew of course

She’s slowly suffocating me, I can’t breathe

Giving me mental pain when she’s not with me

Cannabis, you’re no longer my life

No longer my wife, no longer my life

**Bridge**

I’m walking out the door for the final time

Breaking the bond, severing the line

No more smoke where my future should be

Just a chance to finally be free

**Final Chorus**

This year I’m getting a divorce

From the only love I ever knew of course

She’s slowly suffocating me, I can’t breathe

But I’m letting go so I can finally leave

Cannabis, you’re no longer my life

No longer my wife, no longer my life

---

No One Cares

**No One Cares**

**Verse 1**

In the place where I was born

No one cares, no one cares

Through the nights and through the storms

No one cares, no one cares

Every dream I tried to hold

Faded in the empty air

I was young, but I grew old

Thinking no one cares

**Chorus**

In the town where I came from

No one cares, no one cares

When I cried, when I came undone

No one cares, no one cares

If you're right, if you're wrong

No one cares, no one cares

That's what I was told back there

So I learned to sing this song

That no one cares

**Verse 2**

And the day that I was born

No one cares, no one cares

Like a page that's ripped and torn

No one cares, no one cares

Faces passed me in the rain

Never stopping, never there

I carried all my hurt and pain

'Cause no one cares

**Chorus**

In the town where I came from

No one cares, no one cares

When I cried, when I came undone

No one cares, no one cares

If you're right, if you're wrong

No one cares, no one cares

That's what I was told back there

So I learned to sing this song

That no one cares

**Bridge**

Maybe somewhere down the road

There's a place beyond despair

Where a lonely heart can go

And somebody cares

**Final Chorus**

In the town where I was born

No one cares, no one cares

But I'm leaving it behind

No one cares, no one cares

Though the memories linger on

Like shadows in the air

I survived and carried on

When no one cared

Come With Me to Mars

 **Come With Me to Mars**

**Verse 1**

So sell all you own and come with me to Mars,

The night sky always has pretty stars,

We'll leave our worries sleeping on the ground,

Trade the city noise for a cosmic sound.

The rivers glow with shades of gold and blue,

Every distant light is something new,

The universe is wider than it seems,

Floating through a sea of waking dreams.

**Chorus**

Come with me to Mars tonight,

Drifting through the neon light,

Nothing lost and nothing far,

We're dancing underneath the stars.

Come with me and you'll soon see,

A thousand worlds in harmony,

Every heartbeat, every spark,

Shining through the endless dark.

**Verse 2**

The mountains hum a gentle melody,

Echoing across eternity,

Crystal flowers bloom beneath our feet,

And every passing stranger that we meet

Carries little galaxies inside their eyes,

Tiny constellations in disguise,

There's wonder in the smallest things we find,

A universe unfolding in the mind.

**Chorus**

Come with me to Mars tonight,

Drifting through the neon light,

Nothing lost and nothing far,

We're dancing underneath the stars.

Come with me and you'll soon see,

A thousand worlds in harmony,

Every heartbeat, every spark,

Shining through the endless dark.

**Bridge**

No clocks, no chains, no reason to pretend,

The road keeps winding round and round again,

And every colour sings a different song,

Reminding us that we belong.

**Final Chorus**

Come with me to Mars tonight,

Drifting through the neon light,

Nothing lost and nothing far,

We're dancing underneath the stars.

Come with me and you'll soon see,

A thousand worlds in harmony,

Eve

ry heartbeat, every spark,

Shining through the endless dark.

Distracted by Elephants

Distracted by Elephants

The city bends
Beneath a painted afternoon
A paper moon
Is drifting through a room of blue

Distracted by elephants
Moving through the ceiling
Quietly revealing
Shapes I've never known

The traffic hums
Like distant waves beneath the floor
I lose my place
And wonder what I came here for

Distracted by elephants
Walking through my daydream
Nothing's what it may seem
Everything has grown

The walls dissolve
Into a field of silver light
A hundred trunks
Are tracing patterns in the night

Distracted by elephants
Floating through the silence
Far beyond the sirens
Calling me back home.

**Distracted by Elephants**

They cross the road

I called out through the drifting haze

They raise their trunks

I got swept up and lost my place

**Distracted by elephants**

The drums and the echo

The drums and the echo

I'm in a dream

There's nothing so strange

As wandering under painted skies

But what I tried to say

The parade just carried me away

**Distracted by elephants**

The drums and the echo

Crawling through the jungle vines

I'm in a dream

They fill the clouds

With silver shapes and amber light

They circle round

Then disappear into the night

**Distracted by elephants**

The drums and the echo

The drums and the echo

I'm in a dream

The stars all bend and sway

As the moon hums a lullaby

But what I tried to find

Was lost among a thousand eyes

**Distracted by elephants**

The drums and the echo

Walking throug

h the open sky

I'm in a dream.** 🎵🐘**

🎵 **Distracted by Elephants** 🎵

**Verse 1**

I was walking through a tangerine sky,

Floating on a feather as the moon drifted by,

Crystal butterflies were singing in my hair,

When a purple elephant appeared from nowhere.

His tusks were made of starlight, his eyes were liquid green,

He danced across a rainbow where the silver rivers gleam,

I tried to ask a question but the answer never came,

Because a thousand tiny elephants were spelling out my name.

**Chorus**

I'm distracted by elephants, marching through my mind,

Leaving trails of neon footprints that are impossible to find.

Distracted by elephants, drifting through the haze,

Painting cosmic mandalas in a million different ways.

Oh, distracted by elephants, beneath the candy sun,

Every time I think I'm focused, another one has come.

**Verse 2**

The clocks were growing flowers in a garden made of sound,

And jellyfish balloons were floating upside down,

A saxophone volcano started melting into light,

While elephants on unicycles vanished into night.

One balanced on Saturn, one slept inside a cloud,

One whispered secret equations that were far too strange and loud,

I followed their procession through a doorway in a tree,

Where every leaf was laughing and every root was free.

**Chorus**

I'm distracted by elephants, marching through my mind,

Leaving trails of neon footprints that are impossible to find.

Distracted by elephants, drifting through the haze,

Painting cosmic mandalas in a million different ways.

Oh, distracted by elephants, beneath the candy sun,

Every time I think I'm focused, another one has come.

**Bridge**

Trumpets made of moonbeams, echo through the void,

Spinning kaleidoscopic dreams that can never be destroyed.

The universe is wobbling like a marble in the sea,

And every elephant is somehow another part of me.

**Final Chorus**

I'm distracted by elephants, dancing in the glow,

Through the endless psychedelic circus only dreamers know.

Distracted by elephants, forever wandering free,

Through a jungle made of galaxies and electric poetry.

Oh, distracted by elephants, the parade goes rolling on,

And when the

 last one disappears, a million more are born. 🎵🐘🌈✨

scarecrow ventriloquist

Aurora borealis spilling over the midnight tide,
crystal seas breathing in slow electric sighs,
an astral monarch drifting through mist-woven isles,
where the sky forgets its measurements and smiles.


Flowers flick open like rumours in the rain,
catching stray sparks from the broken windowpane,
let them shimmer, let them misbehave,
turning silence into something brave.


No need to hold the noise in a straightened line,
let it unravel into oceanic design,
a soft collapse of colour-coded sound,
where even falling becomes unbound.


Flicker and weave through the drifting haze,
thoughts folding into electric blue phase,
hovering carpets stitched from fading light,
floating just out of reach of night.


If I ever rise again from this weightless frame,
gravity whispering it doesn’t know my name,
I’ll leave it behind in a blinking field,
where forgotten signals refuse to yield.


Glyphs in the static are humming my skin,
fractured transmissions let the dreaming in,
broken syntax of a half-formed song,
but it still feels like where I belong.


Go slow, glow low, let the system unwind,
static echoes rewriting the mind,
pulse in the noise where the edges mend,
loop it, reboot it, begin again.


Love my soul in the flicker and flame,
no sense in letting it fade or tame,
a scarecrow prophet with no direction home,
still talking to crows in a language of chrome.


You cease to resist as you cease to appear,
vapour-thought dripping through fluorescent fear,
cartoon satellites wobbling under the skin,
hallway jellyfish drifting within.


Rubber-moon creatures slip through the door,
softly insisting they’ve been here before,
singing in wallpaper, humming in glue,
painting the air in impossible hue.


Did the painted kings ever lie to the sky?
Did the mirrors just learn how to cry?
We swore the masks were different that time,
but they melted into repeating rhyme.


We could tear the horizon with a whispering thread,
watch iron children drift out of their head,
paper crowns dissolving into streetlight foam,
elevator falling but never reaching home.


Hunt the ghost in the machinery’s breath,
wild-eyed riders negotiating with death,
marble figures move when no one dares see,
you’re only safe in uncertainty.


I’d like to return to the outline I knew,
before the ceiling forgot how to be blue,
before the world learned to flicker and stall,
before I became nothing at all.


Scarecrow ventriloquist with borrowed belief,
black birds laughing in theatrical grief,
they follow me through the electric parade,
where illusions are carefully made.


Grant me a pause in your disbelief tonight,
a fragment of mercy in unfinished light,
the benefit of maybe, the grace of unsure,
before the last neon dream shuts its door.

## **“Astral Monarch (Crystal Seas Reprise)”**


Aurora borealis on the midnight tide
on crystal seas where the sleepwalkers hide
Astral monarch in mistwoven isles
wearing the weather like borrowed smiles


Flowers out? Yeah, let them glow in the rain
Catch the spark, let it wander again
Set it loose through the ribs of the air
turning the noise into colour everywhere


No point letting it fall into chaotic sound
dissolving in currents of oceanic ground
code in the water, humming through bone
everything drifting, but nothing alone


Flicker and weave, thread light through haze
folding thought into electric maze
breaking to blue in a floating refrain
gravity whispering “don’t remember your name”


I was on a hovering magic carpet
(if I ever get up again)
but the sky forgot how to start it
and the wind just laughed at when


Glyphs in the static are singing my name
fractured transmission but it feels the same
broken signal decay in the rain
lost in the pattern but I’m okay


Go slow, glow low, let the system unwind
static echo-syntax rewiring the mind
pulse in the noise where the broken things mend
loop it, reboot it, begin it again


Love my soul—no sense in letting it go
it hums like a radio buried in snow
a scarecrow that don’t scare the crows
just stands there glowing where nobody knows


You cease to resist as you cease to exist
vapour-thoughts dripping from a fluorescent twist
cartoon satellites wobbling skin-deep
dreaming in circuits they never can keep


Hallway jellyfish hum in the wall
electric wallpaper breathing it all
rubber-moon creatures drift through the room
wearing the shape of a half-formed tune


Did the painted kings deceive us again?
we swore the masks were different then
but mirrors crack and flicker unsure
and corridors don’t answer anymore


We could tear the sky in half with a whisper
children of iron streets sinking quicker
see you spinning on the elevator down
paper crowns melting into the town


Hunt the ghost inside machinery
wild-eyed riders in broken scenery
marble figures move when nobody stares
you’re only safe while the silence cares


I’d like to return now, if the door still fits
to the outline I was before all this
faded carbon copy on the wall
before the ceiling learned how to fall


I’m a scarecrow ventriloquist with no authority left
black birds laughing in the field of theft
they trail behind me through shopping arcades
so I decorate illusions with masquerade


Grant me a pause in your disbelief tonight
lend me the mercy of unfinished light
give me the benefit of maybe and doubt
before the last neon window burns out


Aurora returns on the midnight tide
and everything opens but nothing decides
astral monarch drifts out of view
saying “I was never separate from you”

Open your 3rd eye wide

 Open your 3rd eye wide

and let it drift outside

join the universal mind

where nothing is defined

“Where nothing is real?” it sighs

but don’t unpack the why

don’t blow your mind with why

don’t ask the room to lie

Why is the room melting slow

why does the ceiling grow

into a river of sound

spilling all over the ground

Don’t let it blow your mind

don’t let it unwind

the question is a spiral toy

that eats the answer’s voice

Across a great divide

where thoughts go out to tide

a giant turtle’s eyes

blink through electric skies

Jellyfish float by

in corridors of time

no rules to apply

just drifting shapes of “I”

as open as the sky

that forgot how to try

the holes we measure out

are what this dream’s about

it’s what keeps me alive

this soft unstructured drive

why does it not add up?

a spider to a fly

a universal sigh

inside a lullaby

a giant turtle’s eyes

watching questions die

Don’t blow your mind with why

the current’s just too high

don’t let it split the sky

don’t ask it to reply

Across a great divide

the words between the lines

are slipping out of time

and calling themselves “mine”

None of this stuff is mine

it fell through space and time

I throw my arms wide

and let the signal slide

Open your heart and smile

for just a little while

no need to pull that face

gravity is grace

Always I’m before you

and always after too

the cards that have been dealt out

are learning how to move

Turning in somersaults

through accidental faults

ours not to reason why

just watch the colours fly

I’m reeling with this feeling

no ceiling, no revealing

wherever currents go

they already know

Precious little time

like sugar in the tide

distances and time

are folding up inside

The wind takes all the leaves

and then it takes me

the parts we have to play

just laugh and drift away

I cannot help but laugh

at the broken math

of why becoming how

and here becoming now

Rock Is Dead

 **Rock Is Dead**

The preacher on the television

Selling fear in neon light

Another faded revolution

Trying hard to stay alive

You said the truth would disappear

That every empire cracks with time

Now the amplifiers are screaming

But nobody hears the rhyme

Christianity will vanish

Shrink into the dust of years

You said rock and roll would outlive it

Now both are drowning in their fears

Jesus was all right, maybe

But the crowd just twists the flame

Every saint becomes a product

Every rebel does the same

Oh yeah, rock is dead

Long live hip hop

Buried underneath the vinyl

And the ghosts of boys

The back catalogue keeps feeding

On the corpse it left behind

And now you know it gets you nowhere

Now you know you've gone blind

Oh Yeah, rock is dead

It just gave up

We raise the dead with old nostalgia

But they don't stand up

The emperor has no jacket

And his skin is peeling thin

Every facelift cracked in public

Every anthem fading dim

The radios are poisoned

Static crawling through the halls

Every revolution sponsored

Every outlaw starts to fall

One last line across the mirror

One more stadium goodbye

Everybody wants forever

But everything was born to die

Oh no, rock is dead

Long live the beat

Hip hop rising from the ruins

With bleeding feet

One final shot to numb the silence

One more king without a crown

Another god of youth collapsing

As the curtains tumble down

He left this message for us

Scratched in feedback and decay

All your idols turn to ashes

All your kingdoms fade away

He left this message for us

In the magazines and scars

You can crucify the dreamers

But you can't revive the stars

Oh no, rock is dead

Long live hip hop

Another generation dancing

While the prophets die

And now you know you've gotta face it

Every movement turns to dust

The microphones are rusting over

And the crowd has lost its trust

He left this message for us

He left this message for us

He left this message for us.

Lost in My Mind

**Title: Lost in My Mind**

**Verse 1**

Dying inside, but I’m breathing still

Walking these streets with a broken will

Shadows follow wherever I go

Smiling outside, but they’ll never know

Every night feels the same again

Same dark thoughts, same silent pain

Try to run but I’m stuck in place

Haunted by my own headspace

**Pre-Chorus**

And I scream but it don’t make a sound

Feel like I’m buried six feet in the ground

**Chorus**

Dying inside

Lost in my mind

Crying inside

Lost in my mind

Falling apart

Piece by piece

No way out

No release

Dying inside

Lost in my mind

**Verse 2**

Voices echo, they never fade

Every promise I never made

Looking for light but I’m going blind

Trapped in the maze of my own mind

Days go by but I’m standing still

Fighting a war I can’t seem to kill

Every breath feels like a lie

Living, but I feel like I’ve died

**Pre-Chorus**

And I try but I can’t break free

Feels like this is what I’m meant to be

**Chorus**

Dying inside

Lost in my mind

Crying inside

Lost in my mind

Falling apart

Piece by piece

No way out

No release

Dying inside

Lost in my mind

**Bridge**

If I disappear, would anyone see?

Or am I just what’s left of me?

Screaming loud in the silence deep

Wide awake but I can’t find sleep

Hold on tight but I’m letting go

Down this road that I don’t control

**Final Chorus**

Dying inside

Lost in my mind

Crying inside

Lost in my mind

Breaking tonight

No more disguise

Fading away

Right before your eyes

Dying inside

Lost in my mind

That mystical love is so much misunderstood

 That mystical love is so much misunderstood

Like fire in the veins, like it’s doing no good

They try to name the feeling, but they never really could

It bends the mind like shadows carved in wood

You see it in the colors when the night turns gold

Hear it in the silence, in the stories never told

It slips between the seconds, too wild to hold

A secret that the universe unfolds

**Chorus**

That mystical love is so much misunderstood

A kaleidoscope of truth beneath the hood

It breaks you down to build you like it should

And lifts you far beyond the flesh and blood

That mystical love is so much misunderstood

A burning light inside the darkest wood

You lose yourself to find what always stood

A deeper kind of knowing where you could

**Verse 2**

Drifting through dimensions in a liquid sky

Every thought dissolves, every question “why”

You touch the edge of something you can’t deny

A silent scream that teaches you to fly

Faces made of starlight start to breathe and glow

Whispers of eternity begin to flow

You are every place you thought you'd never go

A seed that only cosmic winds can sow

**Chorus**

That mystical love is so much misunderstood

A kaleidoscope of truth beneath the hood

It breaks you down to build you like it should

And lifts you far beyond the flesh and blood

That mystical love is so much misunderstood

A burning light inside the darkest wood

You lose yourself to find what always stood

A deeper kind of knowing where you could

**Bridge**

Melt into the rhythm of the endless sea

Every form undone, every part set free

What you thought you were is just a memory

You are what you are, and what you’ll always be

Echoes in the void begin to harmonize

Every fear dissolves before your eyes

Truth is not a thing you realize—

It’s the spark behind the great disguise

**Final Chorus**

That mystical love is so much misunderstood

Not something evil, not something just good

It’s the pulse beneath all that ever stood

The hidden root inside the living wood

That mystical love is so much misunderstood

But once you feel it, you know that you should

Let go of everything you thought you could—

And become the fire that always would 🔥

cosmic carousel

**Cosmic Carousel**

*Verse 1*

Spinning, spinning in the violet air,

Whispers tickle your thoughts, they’re everywhere.

Twist and tumble through the candy sky,

Past the clocks that melt and the stars that sigh.

*Chorus*

Oh, ride the cosmic carousel,

Round and round where secrets dwell.

Dreams are sparks and sparks are dreams,

Nothing is quite what it seems.

*Verse 2*

Colors tumble, bend, and fold,

Silver rivers of sound, bright and bold.

A little spark whispers, “you are more,”

Not just a shell on the sandy shore.

*Chorus*

Oh, ride the cosmic carousel,

Round and round where secrets dwell.

Dreams are sparks and sparks are dreams,

Nothing is quite what it seems.

*Bridge*

Let go of the fear, let go of the night,

Jump through the mirrors, step into the light.

Every pebble, every star, every sigh,

Is a wink from the universe as it floats by.

*Verse 3*

You are illusion, you are gleam,

A rolling bubble in a midnight stream.

Yet in the twist of the spinning tune,

You touch the sun, you touch the moon.

*Chorus*

Oh, ride the cosmic carousel,

Round and round where secrets dwell.

Dreams are sparks and sparks are dreams,

Nothing is quite what it seems.

*Outro*

Spinning, spinning in the violet air,

Whispers tickle your thoughts, they’re everywhere.

Round and round and back again,

The carousel hums, and you ascend.

---

painted dream

 **Verse 1**

In the twizzle-twine of tick and tock

Where the star-moths hum and the clocks go soft,

A whisper wriggles through the all—

Not quite a call, not quite a thought.

The zigzag trip to nowhere’s nook,

Through marmalade skies and paper moons,

Is where the nowhere folds itself

Into something that hums a tune.

**Chorus**

Oh, you’re a perhaps in a painted dream,

A giggle stitched in the in-between,

Spin with the swirl of the what-is-not,

Find your face where the lines forgot—

Round and round where the maybes play,

Nighttime melts into yesterday,

In the hush of the upside view,

The whole wide whirl is dreaming you.

**Verse 2**

Kaleido-knot of fizz and flash,

Spinning sherbet in your head,

Where up is down and down’s a grin,

And the unsaid words are said.

You’re not just bones in a buttoned coat,

Nor a think-thing tied in lace—

You’re a ripple-rattle, a maybe-mote,

In the wobble of every place.

**Chorus**

Oh, you’re a perhaps in a painted dream,

A giggle stitched in the in-between,

Spin with the swirl of the what-is-not,

Find your face where the lines forgot—

Round and round where the maybes play,

Nighttime melts into yesterday,

In the hush of the upside view,

The whole wide whirl is dreaming you.

**Bridge**

Slip your worries in a teacup crack,

Let them drip to the tulip floor,

For the oddity road goes roundabout

To the place you were before.

Through the jingle-jangle, threadbare bright,

You toddle the edge of the evermore,

Where secrets sit on upside chairs

And knock on an inward door.

**Verse 3**

You’re a perhaps, a mishap, a lantern dream,

A giggle in the cosmic seam,

A flicker-figure, a yes-and-no,

In the maybe-mean between.

So tip your hat to the nonsense breeze,

Let it tangle your name anew—

For the whole wide swirl of the what-is-not

Is quietly dreaming you.

**Final Chorus**

Oh, you’re a perhaps in a painted dream,

A giggle stitched in the in-between,

Spin with the swirl of the what-is-not,

Find your face where the lines forgot—

Round and round where the maybes play,

Nighttime melts into yesterday,

In the hush of the upside view,

The whole wide whirl is dreaming you.

Journey Through Myself

## **“Journey Through Myself”**

**[Intro – drifting, echoing]**

On a journey to find myself

Trying to change myself

I wish I was someone else

Maybe plastic dreams will help

---

**[Verse 1 – wandering, introspective]**

Should I call myself Michael?

Or something wild from the initials of LSD?

Real self, old self, new self — which am I?

Let us reason why

On a journey to change myself

Trying to lose the shadow of yesterday

So I can meet the one who waits

Oh, how I wish I was someone else

---

**[Chorus – swirling, hypnotic]**

Finally, I’m with myself

Talking to myself

“How to disappear?” — you’ll never find me

Where am I?

As I look into the sky

Oh my, I’m high, dimensions flowing by

Where am I?

Who am I?

Why am I here?

Why am I there?

Over here, over there

Real self, old self, new self — which am I?

Let us reason why

---

**[Verse 2 – dreamlike, psychedelic imagery]**

Floating through colors I can’t name

Echoes of laughter, whispers of flame

The walls bend, the stars revolve

All my questions slowly dissolve

Finally, I’m alone with myself

And I feel a strange, soft peace

I’m at rest

The trip has no end

The mirrors all bend

---

**[Chorus – repeat, layered]**

Finally, I’m with myself

Talking to myself

“How to disappear?” — you’ll never find me

Where am I?

As I look into the sky

Oh my, I’m high, dimensions flowing by

Where am I?

Who am I?

Why am I here?

Why am I there?

Over here, over there

Real self, old self, new self — which am I?

Let us reason why

---

**[Outro – dissolving, echoing mantra]**

Finally, alone with myself

I’m at peace

I’m at rest

The journey folds in on itself

And I flow…

I flow…

I flow…

### ✨ *“Lyndaleigh (Cosmic Drift)”* ✨

*(Verse 1)*

Lyndaleigh, Lyndaleigh,

Why are the stars spinning around me?

Lyndaleigh, what are you showing me?

Lyndaleigh, I thought we could float through time, just you and me.

Lyndaleigh, why are you dancing in shadows I can’t see?

*(Pre‑Chorus)*

Lyndaleigh, are you lost in a neon sky?

Do you not feel me when I’m drifting by?

*(Chorus)*

Lyndaleigh, you have

slipped away like light through fingers,

Lyndaleigh, you have

lost me in the cosmic glow.

And I’m floating, I’m floating,

Searching for the you I used to know.

*(Verse 2)*

Lyndaleigh, the echoes of your voice

Bend the air, twist my choice.

I reach for you in a kaleidoscope haze,

But you’re a shimmer, fading in the maze.

Lyndaleigh, why are you playing in the unknown?

Why are your colors never fully shown?

*(Bridge — surreal / trippy)*

The planets spin in your name,

The moons reflect your flame.

I drift, I dissolve,

In this space where we once evolved.

*(Chorus)*

Lyndaleigh, you have

slipped away like light through fingers,

Lyndaleigh, you have

lost me in the cosmic glow.

And I’m floating, I’m floating,

Searching for the you I used to know.

*(Outro — floating dream)*

Lyndaleigh, Lyndaleigh,

Maybe one day you’ll return,

Or maybe I’ll learn

To float alone among the stars,

And keep your name in sparkling scars.

**[Intro – drifting, echoing]**

What is born will die…

What is gathered will disperse…

What is high comes low…

Collapse, dissolve, flow…

---

**[Verse 1 – surreal imagery]**

No words can tell it,

No sound can reach it,

No example points the way.

Nothing touches it,

Nothing names it,

No one shows it to the day.

Knowledge doesn’t harm it,

Naivety doesn’t help,

In its stillness

Nothing can be removed,

Nothing can be added.

---

**[Chorus – mantra-like, hypnotic]**

It has never been born,

It has never died,

Never ended, never stared.

Never free, never deceived,

Never existed, never nonexisted.

No limits at all… no limits at all…

---

**[Verse 2 – flowing, cosmic drift]**

What has been built up

Will crumble into dust.

What has been accumulated

Will vanish into rust.

The mountains fall, the oceans fade,

The stars collapse in silent parade.

All things high are brought down low,

All streams of being endlessly flow.

---

**[Bridge – abstract, hallucinatory]**

Infinite mirrors

Reflecting nothing and everything,

Shadows of shadows

Where time does not cling.

The unseen whispers

Through corridors of space,

A song with no sound,

A face with no face.

---

**[Chorus – repeat, layered]**

It has never been born,

It has never died,

Never ended, never stared.

Never free, never deceived,

Never existed, never nonexisted.

No limits at all… no limits at all…

---

**[Outro – dissolving, echoing]**

Born and dying,

Gathered and dispersed,

Accumulated, exhausted,

Built up, collapsed,

High and low,

All dissolves…

All flows…

All fades into the infinite unseen…

What is born will die 

What has been gathered will be dispersed, 

What has been accumulated will be exhausted, 

What has been built up will collapse, 

And what has been high will be brought low. 

no words can describe it 

no words can explain what it is 

no example can point to it 

nothing can find it 

no one could show you it 

knowledge does not make it worse

naivety does not make it better

in this there is not a thing to be removed or not a thing  to be added 

it has never been born it has never died 

 it has never ended it has never stared 

it has never been free 

it has never been decived

it has never existed 

it has never nonexisted 

it has no limits at all 

 What is born will die What has been gathered will be dispersed, What has been accumulated will be exhausted, What has been built up will collapse, And what has been high will be brought low. no words can describe it no words can explain what it is no example can point to it nothing can find it no one could show you it knowledge does not make it worse naivety does not make it better in this there is not a thing to be removed or not a thing to be added it has never been born it has never died it has never ended it has never started it has never been free it has never been deceived it has never existed it has never nonexistent

Neon Mind

 "Neon Mind

*Verse 1:*  

LSD turn me on,  

All my friends are seeing tracers,  

Flashing neon signs,  

Laser rainbow lights in the skylines,  

Looking like phaser beams,  

In a kaleidoscope dream.  

*Chorus:*  

There are many colours in my head,  

Spinning round, they never end,  

Every thought a technicolor thread,  

Waves of light, floating instead.  

*Verse 2:*  

I’m lost in the spectrum of sound,  

Gravity’s fading, I’m not bound,  

I see the universe expand,  

Fingers tracing light in the sand,  

A thousand visions at my feet,  

Each one a beat, each one a leap.  

*Chorus:*  

There are many colours in my head,  

Spinning round, they never end,  

Every thought a technicolor thread,  

Waves of light, floating instead.  

*Bridge:*  

Electric, electric, the pulse in the air,  

My mind’s exploding, I’m everywhere,  

Neon rivers, flowing through,  

I’m a particle of light, breaking through.  

*Chorus:*  

There are many colours in my head,  

Spinning round, they never end,  

Every thought a technicolor thread,  

Waves of light, floating instead.  

*Outro:*  

LSD turn me on,  

I’m living in a neon dawn,  

Tracers following me all around,  

In this world of light, I’m unbound.

Chasing dreams in a fleeting game

*Two sides of a paper moon,*  

*Floating softly, drifting soon.*  

*Where the shadows dance and play,*  

*Lines are drawn, but they slip away.*

*(gentle strumming, soft pauses)*

*Faces smiling, faces frown,*  

*In a world that spins around.*  

*Laughter echoes, tears will flow,*  

*What’s the difference? Who can know?*

*(pause, ethereal sounds)*

*Up in the sky, the clouds collide,*  

*While down below, the rivers slide.*  

*We’re all the same, yet worlds apart,*  

*Two hearts beating, one broken heart.*

**(Chorus)**  

*Us and them, a whispered name,*  

*Chasing dreams in a fleeting game.*  

*Divided lines, we walk the same,*  

*In the dark, we’re all to blame.*

*(soft, introspective melody)*

*Warriors clash, with swords of light,*  

*Fighting shadows in the night.*  

*But who’s the enemy, who’s the friend?*  

*In the end, it all will blend.*

*(short pause, building atmosphere)*

*Time keeps ticking, the sun will rise,*  

*We search for truth, beneath the lies.*  

*Yet every heartbeat feels the same,*  

*In the quiet, we play the game.*

**(Chorus)**  

*Us and them, a whispered name,*  

*Chasing dreams in a fleeting game.*  

*Divided lines, we walk the same,*  

*In the dark, we’re all to blame.*

*(soft fade-out, gentle strum)*

*So take my hand, let’s break the chains,*  

*In this dance of joy and pain.*  

*For in the end, it’s all a dream,*  

*Us and them, just a passing theme.*

The Great Gig

The Great Gig 

*Floating high, a feather’s flight,*  

*In the clouds, where dreams ignite.*  

*Voices whisper, soft and clear,*  

*Echoes linger, drawing near.*

*(gentle strumming, soft pauses)*

*The sun spills gold, the shadows play,*  

*While laughter dances, then drifts away.*  

*Moments flash, a spark, a sigh,*  

*Where time stands still, and we can fly.*

*(soft, ethereal sounds)*

**(Chorus)**  

*Up above the world so bright,*  

*In the silence of the night.*  

*With every breath, the stars align,*  

*In the great gig, it’s all divine.*

*(pause, gentle picking)*

*Clouds roll in like whispers sweet,*  

*A tapestry beneath my feet.*  

*Every heartbeat, a cosmic tune,*  

*As the night hums a lullaby to the moon.*

*(short pause, then build up)*

*In the chaos, find your way,*  

*Through the mist, where shadows sway.*  

*All that matters fades away,*  

*In the light of a brand-new day.*

**(Chorus)**  

*Up above the world so bright,*  

*In the silence of the night.*  

*With every breath, the stars align,*  

*In the great gig, it’s all divine.*

*(soft, fading outro)*

*So let it be, as it must go,*  

*In the great gig, we’re free to flow.*  

*With every sigh, a new refrain,*  

*In the sky, we’ll meet again.*
