there are many ways in this world to die
and i wonder how and when and why
will i meet the same fate as any of my friends
will i have the time to tie up loose ends
oh god i cry to above
and i pray it wont happen to the ones i love
oh god id like to know
will the angels swoop down for me when i go
we put politics, religion and many other things between us
we create these barriers to force an opinion
there is no us
there is no them
when every single human is fucked in the head
oh god can i get through to you
are you there you there they just need a clue
for hope for sanity for a grasp on reality
but most importantly...

the future’s gonna be on film for now the different types of animal we are the killing and meeting and waiting and grieving that
punctuate the day oh the lacerations stay the lying and breaking and stealing oh man they’re here to stay they live to fight another
day
every step i take is one of reteat and some day i’ll see that we are all just leaves that fell from a tree time to rot on a leash
the distant sounds of violence rings out the cracking of kalashnikovs amount when the experienced bluffer tries to recover the
losses he made when lying in the gutter he plays an open hand the spirits forgiven the lifetime traditions the cattle get by on little
provisions they starve on empty cans
when the silver screen plays blood with no gore oh the damage in store and they’ll be back in
hoards when the chance comes once more and when death comes to poor

it came across me like a spear
the winters come but im still here
the killers among us spreading his fear
make a dash for the hillside if its clear
seven days
hunger
thunder lightning and a fire that melts the snow
no room
above my head
a damp jacket and a rudimentary bed
i think alot about the far fields i used to
lie on the earth and let my mind
wander through a dream in which i tried
my face is cold
i become a man
i ran away but i dont have a plan
i wont go back
and face the trap
i lost the way now and i dont have a map

when you walk with me, take a picture, remember
a bitter/better way around
the fortunes of all
i need some space to breathe
theres far too many, ill leave
people worry about me, dont
they say you dont have a girlfriend
you dont conform
you dont have much money
and you dont want a job
people worry about me
its grey outside
the clouds roll, i cry
the heavens open, oh my

i prayed last night and had a fright when i got an answer
it wasnt god nor beelzebub but it was an answer
and i asked when will you come down to earth and show me that you're real
when will you come down and save me from all that is evil
i prayed last night and had a fright when i got an answer
it wasnt god nor beelzebub but it was an answer
teach my how to be good in this world and ill spread the word
ill go to far away lands and ill tell all the unheard
i prayed last night and had a fright when i got an answer
it wasn't god nor beelzebub but it was an answer
the voice said
and if you want to know what they replied
do you want to know
i'm afraid you'll have to get on your knees and try
do you want to try?
cause i've sworn to keep secrets from prying eyes
oh you've got to try
and its hard to know where you go when you die
oh its hard to know
and am i delusional or out of my mind

oh when the world goes round
it speeds up as i get old
and i forget my name, my age or my date of birth
and i just see why, the sea and the fields me fulfil me
and my sense of being
oh the luxuries we have but dont give on
societies wasted and they'll die young
we're killing and eating the ill gotten gains
and this will be end of all things good and restrained

well, id like to see another man on the moon
he'd float up in the sky and question as to why
we think we're so important in this world
and i hope it isnt true
i dont want a cold war two
but with planes brought down to earth
smashed and battered, burnt
we wont ever know what brought them down
well theres fighting in the ukraine
and syria's a mess
isis may rule in the middle east
but the US doesn't have it best
phoenix rose from the desert dust
the rivers all ran dry
the gold hammered down to a broken crown
all you've got to ask is why
they try to fix the room
they tie me to the room

i invite them, i tried then
to find some life
in an old empty light
i called you, but i dont get through
oh i try to help you out
of a never ending drought
to busy with a 9-5
imagine building an ideal life
coffee beans electric means picture on the wall
well you drew that picture to remind you of us all
its far to long to wait
time's getting on its late
and i cant hold anymore
well you drew that picture to remind you of us all

the wish is coming down
and i cant muster a frown
or a still cold gaze
send up to the heaven for an aid pack
they wont be long
distract me from the time when i looked back
cloak me with fog, put the blinkers on run at a wall
and they see me running away
the clock ticks on
has the war been won?
its a smoking gun
the shock hits you running and i
minds for the truth, minds for the needs
mine is found wanting
cares for the most, cares for the least
careful in all but good with
when i break up, when i break down
need me to laugh and feel better

what makes out time on this earth worthwhile
is it just a little company
distract me from the horror, plug in the stopper
i dont want to see the face of mystery
outside there's a pigeon picking berries from a tree
why shouldn't that be me
what gives me the right to this land, to the food, to the earth
why is this all about me
the bible set in motion
the idea that humans are special
we cast the rest aside
we cast the rest aside
