Gen Y-Point-Five

We're the unsteady beach goers,

And go-with-the-no flow-ers,

Reap what you know sowers,

Get high and hit low blowers,

Between the generations,

See every new sensation,

Grow from this ground but

Still we claim no relation

We're blocked by anxiety

Try to find our creativity,

We say we reach for the sky

When we really want to die,

I'm running out of patience

Waiting for the tide

To turn to the time

When we learn that we lied

When we said "I'm alright",

Inside we're all putting up a fight,

A bloody civil war

Where we don't want to pick a side

I swear they'll keep trying to put me in a box

Till our dying day knocks

Trying to keep the institution

From stumping the mind's evolution,

We're all shouting "revolution"

But we can't find any solution

Stopped saying we're against The Man

Because we give each one a name,

Give this one the throne then pass the blame

When really they're all the same,

We're all trying in between

Stuck in the twilight zone,

Between these generations

You really start to feel alone.

But I'm not the only one

Who can't get any rest,

Feeling insecure

And put myself to the test,

Feeling I should be better but

Dear Stranger

I know you're

Doing your best.

Ark

While you're hit by The Man,

Let you mind take you away to another land.

Through the backs of my eyes rain of tears will flow,

But fall inside so they'll never know.

Tomorrow's something that never came

Just a lengthened day of rain,

For forty days and for sleepless nights

Fall pouring down behind the sights

Behind the walls and windows clear

But with the turbulence it's so unclear.

Just leave me an impression of the days we had

A friend to find inside your Dad.

With watery eyes cast to stormy skies

Dear Father can you hear me cry?

When dangerous thoughts are in my head

My fingers blue and thoughts are red,

Surviving but still feeling dead

Drive insane or should we walk together instead?

Under lockdown the door will close,

Keep key somewhere beneath my nose,

Lock up the colourful life inside,

Cause there's nowhere to run we can only hide.

Someday I'll send a little crow,

And it will tell me where the grass does grow,

When he says ground is green and sky is clear,

Will I insist it's greener in here?

Little Clearer

Oh so tragic and so turbulent,

All sketched out

I'm just feeling it

Except when I'm not.

Except when I'm not.

Wake up in the morning,

Look in the foggy mirror,

Hate what I see yet I still try to look a little clearer

On this little road

Somewhere there's a forest,

Where the depths are dark and the tops are sunkissed,

Trying to find ourselves,

Journey on a narrow road,

Don't have to look back to find yourself,

Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

Today we've made it here.

Choose (song)

Devil's on Earth but I don't care

Death at the door but I'm not scared

Free to roam with naught but my life to lose

Now I go on without you

I won't go down without a fight

My schedule is kind of tight

So no time to mope there's lots I've got to do

This is the life I choose

This is the life I choose

Now I go on without you

Time will heal the cuts and burns

So few years but lots to learn

Scars will fade and so will regret

(Let go but never forget)

Oh hope ain't gone yet

Though I'll go on without you

Still be whole without you

This is the life I choose

Come this song on the breeze

Death at the door we're on our knees

I'll move on but life won't pass us by

You wonder if you made the right choice

This is the life you chose

Someday darling you may die

But don't let this life pass you by

Don't have to drown each time you cry

Please remember you've got so much to do

And nothing but this life to lose

Young and got one foot in the grave

We're all dying with not much to lose

Because hope has found you

Got nothing left to lose

But the life we choose
