I’ve got my mind set -- what I want, I get
You’ve got your soul, taking toll, that’s what I bet
I’m shaking your tree -- you’d better believe
You’ve got your heart – torn apart, worn on your sleeve
It’s never too late for you to delay
So take your time, wasting mine, hear what I say
I’ve got no clue -- what can you prove?
You’re off-the-cuff and acting tough -- here’s what I’ll do
I’ve got ya focused...
I don’t know, Jack -- defend or attack?
Point the gun, shoot and run, never look back
I’m at a stand-still on top of your hill
So roll me down and come around -- where is your Jill?
I’ve got her focused...
I think I’m bleeding, know what I’m needing
So we are -- can I borrow a feeling?
Up and leave me and twice deceive me
If you dare, I don’t care – you never pleased me

Fragile

You could sell your soul and you’d be poor but you would sleep tight
You would harmonise and compromise to make it feel right
Find a key that fits, try unlocking it
Dream within a dream, seldom sight-unseen
Everything you are -- soon to fall apart
Twist the tightest screw, it’s a job to do then you can go home
Turn your face around, off and roundabout -- a dog with no bone
Lead a lamb to water like a horse to slaughter
Draw outside the lines, pressing on inside
Take a second-guess, cards held to your chest
You would grab a bull by the horns and pull so you could die for the tail
Caffeine rushing in -- on the walls again and off of the rails
Never say goodbye -- a fragile alibi
Arrest in-utero, little do you know
Always on-the-mend -- too broken to pretend

(Whoo!)
We’re coming down town, be steady
It’s kinda funny, we didn’t realise
He’s going down with his ship
You’ve got your face in your hands, a flash of red in a wink
We’ll try to see you through this; we’ll try to make it right
You’ve got your head in the clouds, we’ve seen this all before
This ain’t a flying visit; the dogs are out for blood!
We’re heading down-stream, grab a paddle
And look them dead in the eye
It might be flippant of me to say we didn’t mean any harm
Sometimes you regret what it is that makes you human
We’re coming down town, be steady
It’s kinda funny, we didn’t realise
He’s going down with his ship
You’ve got your face in your hands, a ghost of strength in a flame
We’ll try to see you through this; we’ll try to make it right
You’ve got your head in the clouds, what would you have me do?
This ain’t a flying visit; we’re gonna die in here!
Sometimes you regret what it is that makes you human

I see myself covered in you
I feel my soul smothered by you
I see my eyes covered in glue
I feel my mind split into two
Now I don’t know what to do with you
You’ve got something that can’t be denied
You’ve got arms a billion miles wide
You beg and you plead then trap me inside
Inject the remorse then leave me to die
Can you feel it? -- It’s killershyt

Time & Place

Up close, make it clear -- it’s hard to speak your fears
That’s true for you, my dear, but never always
You’re free to come and go, we’ll reap what we sow
Some things only we know -- forever always
For what it’s worth, I looked away
It made things worse but made you stay
We found the time, let’s find your place
Our feet don’t touch the ground -- you’re lost between the sounds
And soon you’ll come around -- forever always
The red, green, and white; the blue that’s in your eyes
Parallel, three straight lines -- forever always
I’ll take the pain if it heals the hurt
I can’t restrain, I feel heart-burnt
I need to know, need you to say
Do you hear the roar? Do you hear the waves?
You ask for more -- we can take
All tonight, all today

You could take my hand and you won’t fret about it
Or make a stand and soon forget about it
Why cause a scene if you don’t mean to end it?
Try and pause a dream and you won’t be defended
Now I’m bleeding from my fingers, bleeding
The shapes are indistinct
You left your mark on me, mark on me
Gave you my silver ring
Crawling on your knees to find what you had stolen
Climbing underneath -- behind me, you have fallen
Through smithereens you’ll find the scene’s unbroken
Because in-between our time’s to be’s unspoken
Now I’m dreaming at my window, dreaming
‘Cause there’s no time to think
But I need what you need from me
Give you my everything
You can fog my head but I will still remember
And now the thread unravels to dismember
If you’ve got my back and everything you tell me
Is not exact but it’s the storm you’re quelling
As all the clouds gather, clouds gather
You dance out in the rain
Tomorrow’s sun will be shining down on
Pedro and everything

Say the words and make it right
It frees the weight and clears the mind!
A nagging hindrance, a constant bore
Reminds my dear to cut the cord!
And fall!
And fall!

I can’t make contact with your eyes
But when you stare at me, it’s hard to sympathise
If the walls are closing in
And you can’t hear me, it’s ‘cause you’re paper-thin
The red light is on and you mean nowt to me, nowt to me
The red light is on
If you can tell me right from wrong
Why do you leave such a bad taste upon my tongue?
You still imagine how I feel
But who’s to say what’s fantasy and what is real?
The red light is on and you mean nowt to me, nowt to me
The red light is on and you mean nowt to me, nowt to me
The red light is on
The red light is on
The red light is on and you mean nowt to me, nowt to me
The red light is on and you mean nowt to me, nowt to me
The red light is a red light
The red light is on
The red light is on and you mean nowt to me, nowt to me
The red light is on and you mean nowt to me, nowt to me
The red light is on
The red light is on
The red light is on
The red light is on

How come your writing’s on the wall?
With so much left undone and so far left to fall
I’ll reach out my hand and pull you from the fear
But I don’t understand the sounds I hear
You’re speaking in tongues
Speaking in tongues
Too late -- I can’t save you now
I’ll leave you to your fate inside your padded cell
It’s true that, to me, you’re one-of-a-kind
But it’s plain to see -- you lost your mind
You’re speaking in tongues
Speaking in tongues
Speaking in tongues
Speaking in tongues
