just as midnight comes

1. Impulse (Part 2)

I have to do it

2. Face The Storm

I’ve been so low for it seems so long

I’ve nothing left to lose

There’s a pain and an ache I don’t think I can take

Now I have to choose

Question one comes along

What went wrong,

Why do I suffer so?

Question two comes on

What could I have done,

And where can I go?

Question three comes around

What do I do now,

And where can I go?

I’ve got to

Face the storm with my head held high

Watch the rage as it destroys my life

But I will not give up

I am strong, I am tough

I believe

No I will not lie down

I will make it somehow

I will make it before it breaks me

I believe there’s a word to captivate the world

Almost on my tongue

Just one short phrase to hold them all amazed

Where can that go wrong?

Reason one

It would appear no one wants to hear

Maybe I missed my chance

Reason two comes along

The time for change has gone:

The age of ignorance

Reason three comes around

What do I do now?

I don’t understand

But I’ve got to

Face the storm with my heart on fire

Watch the rage as it destroys my desire

But I will not give up

I am strong, I am tough

I believe

No I will not lie down

I will make it somehow I will break it

Before it breaks me

Feel the rage

Break the Cage

3. Vivid

I’ve got a vivid imagination

But it makes me trouble all the time

I don’t look but trouble finds me out

I’ve got a wicked sense of humour

And it makes me happy all the time

I have a permanently wide smile inside

Inside

Trouble, I’m in trouble

Trouble again

Trouble, I’m in trouble

But I’ve only myself to blame

I’ve got a clear destination

But I can’t find the turn

I must have made some mistake

Somewhere

I’ve got a vivid imagination

But it gets me trouble all the same

I don’t how but trouble knows my name

It knows my name

Trouble, I’m in trouble

Trouble again

Trouble, I’m in trouble

But I’ve only myself to blame

From out of nowhere it came to me

Clear as day and so vividly

I have to bury my head in the sand

I can’t explain and I don’t understand

4. Remora

Don’t get too close to her

She’ll have you hooked by the morning

She’s different to other people

And I know she’s not like me

And I see she’s not like me

I know her name too well

It haunts my mind

It haunts me while I sleep

She’s not like other people

And I know she’s not like me

Remora, Remora

Stay away from me

Remora, Remora

Stay away from me

She crept into my head

One lonely night while I was sleeping

And now she tortures me

She makes me pay for what I’ve done

Come on now Remora

Stay away from me

Come on now Remora

Stay away from me

Just as midnight comes and you’re alone in bed

Remora, Remora

Is inside your head

Inside your head

As soon as her long back hair is wrapped around your head

Remora, Remora

Is inside your head

She’s inside your head

5. Sacred Painter

He’s a legend, he’s a God

Feel the ground shake where he walks

Be it charcoal, be it oils

He can represent all of life’s spoils

He’s fantastic and inspired

Sacred Painter

He’s the catalyst, he’s the spark

He’s the searchlight in the dark

He’s the leader, he’s the way

He’s our night and he is our day

He’s eccentric but a joy

Sacred Painter

When you see it for the first time

It brings silence and radiates calm

And although it never feels the same

You can look at it over and over again

He’s a legend, he’s a star

He’s a walking work of art

He’s a hero, he’s a god

Feel the ground shake where he walks

Feel your heart open up

Feel the tremor tear through your gut

Just a flick of the brush

Feel adrenaline, feel the rush

He’s fantastic, he’s divine

Sacred painter

When he falls down, everything falls down

When he comes down, everything comes down

7. Cold Sweat

Come closer

I think I see a face that looks like me

And it certainly seems so

Is this a bad dream?

Am I dreaming?

It doesn’t want to let me see

My fear begins to grow

I feel baited

I feel faint

I feel something but I can’t tell what it is

Come closer

Let me see the face that summons me

Tortures me

Sees through me and knows

Of my weakness

In my fortress

Come closer now

Come right up so you can feel the lines and feel the scars

That taint this face of mine

That I live with

In my nightmare

In my living fear of this

And in spite of everything I’ve known

I still cannot look at the face I’ve grown

It betrays everything that I hold dear

And repels everything that I want near

And pushes me down

And drags me below

And locks me away from the world above

It’s pulling me closer to my end

I thought I had another vision tonight

I woke up in a cold sweat and began to write

Now as I relive I recall

It didn’t mean anything at all

And in spite of everything I’ve known

I still cannot look at the face I’ve grown

It betrays everything that I hold dear

And repels everything that I want near

And pushes me down

And drags me below

And locks me away from the world above

It’s pulling me closer to my end

8. 5 Squared

Don’t burn the books

They’re all we need

To keep hold our minds

Hold back the greed

For disposable technology

Feeds no starving child

Clothes nobody

So why the strange desire

The pointless need

To consume, consume, consume, consume

Try to be good, mostly

Enjoy, at no one’s expense

Accelerate to the end of days

See the truth revealed in the prophecies

Say a worthy life

Existence earned

By continued strife

A selfless aim

Make the universe a better place

Make no waste, no waste, no waste, no waste

Today’s lesson

How to be good

Tomorrow’s lesson

How to survive

Multiply, multiply

Crowd around like flies

Viral, global

Smothering all

With waste, with waste, with waste, with waste

The waste! The waste! The waste! The waste!

9. Salvation

I dragged my body to a distant shore

After tragedy took me to the ocean floor

With a heave of effort that took all of my strength

I pushed up to the surface and shook myself

I clung on to the wreckage and I rolled along

I could not believe it, thought my vision was wrong

Cause in a few short hours I had sighted land

And at the edge of the water I saw my best friend stand

I thought I was as lucky as I’d ever been

But they disappeared away like they were just a dream

They could have saved me...

So I searched and I foraged and I fought to survive

And my strength came to me and I felt revived

Then my mission was clear, I knew I had to find

I started hunting for that friend all across the isle

I caught a glimpse of a blur, of a wisp of hair

But no matter how I chased, I could not get near

After weeks and weeks of running, never coming close

I lost my faith and my reason and abandoned all hope

They could have saved me....

10. Remember J

Don’t you ever forget me

I will never forget you

We must never forget them

11. Midnight

Just as midnight comes

And you’re alone in bed

That’s when I hear the voices

Echo in my head

“Sweet dreams”

She said

“Sweet dreams”
