The money walks and money talks But seems it's lost its voice tonight And people walk and people talk But mostly they don't give a shite We hurtle through the universe We're meant to make sense of our lives A tenant on the Tellus hive Believe in myths that are contrived Can't work it out I'm full of doubt Seems pointless now to scream and shout We have to break the whole thing down And build it up and up again The voices pause but never stop And always seem to be the same Can't work it out I'm full of doubt Seems pointless now to scream and shout

You scrub and you polish, but cannot get clean You saw what you thought what you thought you had possibly seen The nuance is often obscured in the light There's comfort in thought and you think you are possibly right You've gone a distance Questioned existence Doubting persistence Sun rises over, landscapes and cities History surrounds you Future invites you Foresight reflection Shows you are learning You are a haven for thought The dye maybe cast but the colour will fade feed in more colour and don't be afraid of the change It's natural for goals to be hit or be missed Sometimes you know that is it That is just how it is

Sonic Freeze 04:28
Words stream like caustic oil In schadenfreude in vain He's happy, she's happy in shame. Kine ahora(genuine praise) Hok A Chainik (too much nonsense talk) Kvell (take pride) Mit du kvetching (with you complaining) Mislegoss (bizarre beliefs or actions) Nudnik (pest or annoying person) This is the semblence Mechanics of the mind M middle Me middle Middle-aged mortal medium Mediocre maudlin moping Misanthropic more moreover My mind maybe missing Melting morphed mortified Moulded minutia made me mollified More moreover moribund mixed method Meagre mindless me Can't be the future there's a line in the sand The lovers must be sincere in themselves But be strong and not trounced by demand The bitterness is hard to view and doubtless felt by some The social turns the media burns Amalgam sonic one Self termination here, plausibility Feel the Sonic Freeze.

Honest Man 05:15
Feel, feel the friction Should we say what's on our minds Someone else decide, we'll decline Make a wish, as a child, in a dream. Lost alone, oh this is bleak And what we seek can't be found No way no how I was lost in the valley Where the prophets roamed And hatched their plans To conquer the guilt we all understand Tears in the dark, trembling rage Filled with shame Who's to blame, who's to blame For this tortuous trap When the skies collapse Could it be, could it be me In the dark as I judge without sight Not acknowledging plight Was I wrong to deny who I am Honest Man

There's a Big Ox next to my pillow And Teddy rests his head on the wall In a bag there's a couple of singles And a Father's Day card from you all. A watch is ticking time of existence Reminder of this temporal state And a radio confirms there is science Human writes creation and fate And the neurons wait on the synapse gate When a thought enacts and the bones react And the neurons wait on the synapse gate When a thought enacts and the bones react A mind of a human, a mind of a human A mind of a human, a mind of a human Psychologically demanding Providence a state of mind Sentience a question of honour Knowledge has a future to find And a watch is ticking time of existence Reminder of this temporal state And a radio confirms there is science Human writes creation and fate

Take a punt, a gamble done with style Wit and guile You know me and what's behind my smile And I know I can't live my life like I'm on trial Yes I know Life is short and I've lived quite a while Quite a while What do you know? I should say I saw you as a friend Some time to spend Feeling down? The same stuff comes around, yes I know You'll survive, much rather be alive, just feel it No regrets, just live it to the end And with some luck you'll find some truth and find some love And share it with good friends What do you know? Don't despair, you're floating in the air So ground it Taking flight, a bird with feathers white Is fine but Fantasy, it doesn't seem quite me The suit and tie guy What you got? You know it's quite alot Now are you trying? What do you know? I should say I saw you as a friend Some time to spend Feeling down? The same stuff comes around, yes I know You'll survive, much rather be alive, just feel it No regrets, just live it to the end And with some luck you'll find some truth and find some love And share it with good friends What do you know?

The steam comes out of his ears Been that way for years and years No way can he be content A smoking gun of contempt 10,000 miles in his stare Ground down his teeth in despair He's losing hope losing hair You might not want to go there He's eating food full of fat He takes a beating for that He says well, well that is that And takes a beating for that I am a man of rage of no specific age And my name's not on the page Not looking for sympathy Would like some self-esteem It's a symptom of the age The smoke comes out of his ears Been that way for years and years No way can he be content A smoking gun of contempt He's eating food full of fat He takes a beating for that He says well, well that is that And takes a beating for that
