A Bigger Happiness

Call Me Coward

I always said I would rather be dead

Than to ever get old and wrinkled

And I always said I would rather go blind

Than slack the cerebrum or lose my mind

I always said I would rather be dead

Than to ever have any children

And I always said I’d prefer to burn

Than flicker and dwindle and lose my hair

Call me

Call me Coward

I always said I would rather be dead

And I’ve been a very poor loser

I always keep at the back of my mind

The fear that I’m wrong, that this is my own design

Call me

Call me Coward

I always said I would rather be dead

But I really quite like living

I always said that it’s wrong to believe

The things that you hear, sounding sincere

And though I said it is so

I have said not to believe

Believe

Individuality

Time and again we pass the blame

Shoulder to shoulder and head to toe we go in vain

Caught with our pants down again

Without a reason and no excuse to take away the pain

Take away the shame

Take away the blame

I want to leave my home and find a new station

I want to be alone with all my medication

I want to go outside, catch the radiation

I want to come in alone

Playing the same old party game

Back to the front and side to side we pull our shoes on

Ready for running round again

Fit for the season

The bows and bells that cover up the shame

And cover up the pain

Cover up the blame

I want to leave my past, make brand new start

I want to wipe my slate, clean the mucky marks

I want to cleanse myself, clean away the scars

I want to come in alone

I want to be individual, individual

Individual

A Bigger Happiness

I seem to be trapped in this indecisive moment

Where I can’t think clearly or choose between

Pleasant, comfortable, day-to-day normality

Or throwing it in to live closer to “the edge”

With maybe a smaller chance of success

But, ultimately, a bigger happiness

A greater joy, a bigger happiness

Hunting down that feeding hand

Sentimental verse and chorus

A greater joy a bigger happiness

And just when I think I’ve got it

And everything seems to click

Each piece fits into the next

And comes together

This is when I see my goal

And my chance to touch it

Taste it, love it and be it

It becomes real and gives me

That bigger happiness

A greater joy, a bigger happiness

Hunting down that feeding hand

Sentimental verse and chorus

A greater joy a bigger happiness

Is it really too much to ask?

The task in hand

A bigger happiness

Everything I Say is Totally Original

What’s your problem?

Why don’t you open your eyes?

Eyes as wide as plates

My retinal flicker does not see any quicker in the dark

What’s your problem?

Where do you think you are?

A route through the future

Avoiding all pressure of the fight from success to successor

What’s your problem?

What ticks inside of your head?

Think of the potential

Kinetically balancing plans with both eyes tied

What’s your problem?

Don’t tell me I can’t write

Blocked and broken?

I never said a word I thought you would have heard before

What’s your problem?

And yet I feel blind

Can’t see for looking?

Paragraphs and lines bend with the weight of my words

If only all I said came true

If only I had some way through

If only all I said was new

Maybe then I’d be worth listening to

And remember everything I say

No Place to Go

Nobody really knows

There is no place to go

Nobody seems to show

There is no place to go

And maybe I could find the glow

Of some new place to go

But nobody has a place to go

Nobody knows, nobody knows

Where else can I go?

There are some here who should know

They haven’t lost the soul

There are some I’d like to show

They haven’t got to go

Many people, many souls

Have got no place to go

Nobody has a place for souls

Nobody knows, nobody knows

Where else can we go?
