1)*Nicked vein*

The needle stuck in your vein,
Is the only way you can numb the pain
That you've carried with you
For all of these years
These years

Chorus:
A junkie is all you're ever going to be
Unless you stand up and fight for your destiny

Do to your body what you want
But your friends have to share the cost
Of this drug that you need
To hide from your fears
Your fears

A friend reaches out a hand
He's trying to help you stand
You push him away
You are pushing yourself to your
Grave

2)*Happy today*

I can't believe it's been five years
Since I wondered where I'd be in five years time
I can't remember what I thought
But it was nothing along these lines

Chorus:
You've got to be happy with who you are
You've got to be happy with what you've got
Because you never know when it's going to change
So just be happy
Today

You know I've fallen in love
More times than out
My head has been fighting with my heart
So long now, that I've forgotten what about

It's too little too late
Or too much too soon
You've got to stop fighting with yourself
That's a fight you'll always lose

3)*Mexico*

I drank too much last night again
Now today won't seem to end
A crazy girl proposed to me
Before I even knew her name

She said tell me does it make you scared
To know you'll make me your wife
I smiled and introduced myself
And asked what we'll do for the rest of our lives

Chorus:
She said run, we'll run away from here
To Mexico we'll fly
When it comes we'll know the day
But have no time for goodbyes

She knew my words before I sang them
So I asked her how she knew
She cocked her head and winked at me
And said they're my words too

And all we say is scripted
So sometimes it's best just to read along
Because some things will always happen
But the fragile things never seem to last too long

She wants her life to be a fairy tale
And tonight Cinderella's ball
At the very least to live a poem
So she quotes Dylan all night long

Bridge:
Then she ran, she ran away from me
Left a glass slipper and a kiss on my cheek
And she whispered, whispered these words to me
May all but one of your dreams come to be.
Fly

4)*Half Full*

Aint it funny how the days keep coming he said
To himself as he rolled out of bed
And he wondered how much time it is he has left
Between now and the day that he's dead

Chorus:
You've got to do everything like it's your last
Hold every second in your grasp
Drink till you hold an empty glass
And spare not a moment for your past

As he realised that one day he would die
He looked on up to the sky
The moon was half gone and, well he felt forlorn
For a life not yet lived he did mourn

As he laid to rest, with a heavy heart in his chest
Thoughts of tomorrow were bitter at best
For, to work he'd return and inside he would burn
For a life left behind he did yearn


5)*3rd person female*

She's at her wits end;
Life's only just beginning,
She's learning how to swim,
But so far she's only sinking

Chorus:
And she can't trust herself,
Doesn't know quite what she's feeling
She's screaming at the wall,
As she climbs up to the ceiling

Because when she fell from grace,
She hit the ground bleeding
The lines on her face
Don't make for good reading

And when she talks in her sleep
She always ends up screaming
She knows her life would be complete
If only seeing was believing

6)*Juliette's Song*

I believe in love at first sight
If the time and place are right
And it feels like I'm in the right place tonight

As you walk by me
I doubt you barely see
But me I see our destiny

Chorus:
If you see it too, but you need a little more
Take a second look before you walk out that door

Won't you tell me your name?
We don't have to play these games
Come with me you'll never be the same

I know we haven't much time
Because soon you'll have to fly
Give me a minute I'll make it last your life

Chorus:
If your fear is holding you back from
The way that you feel
Say the word and we can
Make this real

Or just keep walking along
We can live within this song
In these words our love will live and die

7)*Never Again*

He falls out of bed, and into his flairs
He rolls down the stairs
To a cupboard that's bare
Picks up the phone; talks to nobody there
He walks out the door, on his way to the fair

The sight of her face, and her two toned hair
Red stockings red sweater, red scarf that she wears
Brightens his day from mild mannered despair
So he sits, and he writes, all the way, in his chair.

So unassuming was her gentle air
As she walked by him so it seemed with no cares
She faces away and he can't help but stare
He wants to talk to her but he wouldn't dare

8)*New Shore*

I cross every bridge with a match in my hand
I strike it up and through it down just before I reach land
I have no need for somewhere I've been before
I want to find me a new way want to board a new shore

I have no time for wasting just like I used to do
I was wasting my time the day that I met you
But don't take it poorly because I loved you so dearly
Its just now you are gone I am seeing so clearly

A while a go I made quite a choice
On whether to shut up or whether to voice
I chose the latter, although hard it may be
To voice your opinion when nobody agrees

And I don't care too much what people say about me
Cos most of the time I think I tend to agree
So say what you will, if you will what you say
But I say what I would if it was my last day

9)*Next to you*

I can see you in my mind
When I close my eyes
If you let me I would like to stay the night
If you don't well then I'll have to take flight

Take flight

When you look at me I see beauty; divine
When you touch me I get shivers up and down my spine
If you want to I would like you to be mine
If you don't well then I just might have to cry

I might cry

Now I sit here, all alone in this room
Hoping that you will change your mind soon
Hoping that I work out what I have to do
To make you want me to be the one next to you

You

10)*Eternity*

Time is moving slowly today
Every second feels like an hour
And every breath he takes,
He takes eternity
He feels a pulse, not of a heart,
Of a river flowing, and ever knowing

Chorus:
Then he steps outside into the day
He raises his face to be dried by the rain
He don't need to know what anything is about
Because he fills up his soul and he spits the rest out

With each step he moves but an inch
He is knocked back by a breeze
To him a howling wind
He hears a voice, not through his ears,
The voice of his soul, dispelling all fears

11)*Full of Fire*

I write because I hold a pen
I drive because there's a road ahead
I laugh, because I don't want to cry

I feel because I have a heart
I'll end because I had a start
I sing this song because of you

Chorus:
I hear you and I'm so inspired
My heart is full of fire
I look and suddenly
I find

I'm tired because I'm lacking sleep
I'm silent because talk is cheap
I left, because I needed to be alone,

I'm wet because I love the rain
I sing because I feel no pain
I'm right, because I know that I am

I look because I need to see
I'm here because you set me free
I listen, because I love your voice

I eat because my hunger grows
I sing softly because the tempo slows
I stop
Because I know
When I'm done

12)*Stolen, cheated, lied*

Were I to recount for you
The regrets from my life
I would almost have to tell
The story of my time
But tonight, tonight
I'm going to send them straight down
The line

Chorus:
Yea I have stolen, I have cheated,
I have lied, lied, lied
I have run so far when I knew that
I couldn't hide, hide, hide
I have hurt the ones who
I love more than life, life, life
And I have broken things
That cannot be
Replaced or fixed over time
Time, time, time

If I could go back and right my wrongs
Would I be here today singing these sad, sad songs
If I was quiet all the times when I was
Oh so loud
Would I be here tonight, in front of this disinterested crowd.

So now as I crawl back into the womb,
My dearest of friends I hope we meet again soon
But to those of you whom I'm destined
To never meet again
Let's raise our glass to now and forget about then
