Happy to Forget

He's the poet of your pain
A scribble of sadness
Armed with a whisper
Whisper to madness
And I wonder
Does everyone feel the same
The feelings of love
All of a sudden
I don't know where to put my hand
Just let the feelings
The feelings flood in
To a hollow and empty heart
There's plenty of room
Room for you
And the words
There so beautiful
It makes me sing
The lullaby man
Sillouhetted
Sing us a song
For us to cherish
And the lonely hang on his every word
For the comfort
We think we deserve
But to know
I'm not alone
It's enough for me
I know how it's done
I know how it's done
I can see the slight of hand
See the rubber bands
Up you sleeve
The magic
Has lost its magic

In Love with the Lie

It's there
I just can't quite see it
Sometimes I hope it hits me
Sometimes I hope it hits me
It's there
It's there
I know it
See the truth but in love with the lie
Wish I could hear that song again
For the first time
It's not there
And I just can't quite wrap my head around
I just can't wrap my head around
Sometimes I hope it hits me
These thoughts are always with me
I don't sleep too easy
That which washes through
When they come to the surface
And fall on deaf ears
That's the last time I believe
Don't spread yourself so thin she said
Better one good one than the rest
Smiles gone are you tired of me yet?
Makes you say was it even there
In the first place

Lost in the Search

I was so happy
It was over
Didn't notice
It had only just begun
Champagne
Too early
Nice and cosy
Far away
In a daze
Remember me when you're famous
Remember me when you're famous
Where has that handsome man gone
From my mirror?
I swear he was there
Just moments ago
Things got ugly pretty quickly
Couldn't save you so
I moved along
Remember me when you're famous
Remember me when you're famous
The feeling
That my time
Is running out
Is all I have to cling to now
And I didn't get the job
That I wanted
Not to worry
You'll figure it out
Figure it out
But if a street lamp can barely be bothered
Why should I?
If a street lamp can barely be bothered
Why should I?
And I've sailed down the river
Once before
And I left all of my ambition
At the door
Lost in the search
Lost in the search

People are puzzles that cannot be solved
Puzzles get boring put down and move on
I cleaned up my room and I don't feel better
I cleaned up my room and I found what was missing
Oh yes
Put on a song that makes feelings come flooding back
Memories of someone you should have asked
To dance
And I wave at my life as it passes me by
People are puzzles that I cannot solve
Puzzles are boring accept and move on
The devils in the detail the angels in the vague
How much will you sacrifice so you don't have to change
A thing
My hope is not dead
It's hanging by a thread
Hanging by it's neck
I'm not too sure what it is
What it is I'm looking for
I'm not too sure what it is
I'm looking for anymore
Anymore
And I wave at my life as it passes me by
I wave at my life as it passes me by
Passes me by

Almost

Almost whole
It was almost real
And I'm almost sure
This is how it should feel
And I was nearly right
That you were almost wrong
Almost everything
Is almost gone
Almost real again
Rarely sometimes
I'm sometimes someone
I've almost changed
I've almost changed
Nearly for the better
It almost works
You're nearly there
You're almost vintage
I almost care
Almost easy
Hardly ever
It's almost funny
Almost never

See the Good

I will let you know
When I am there
In the gentlest breeze
Standing still
To the quiet things
We miss each day
You are aging well
As far as I can tell
The disaster was on time today
See I see the good in everything
I see the good in everything
I see the good in everything
I do
I am drifting now
But I don’t mind
The things I used to love
I’ve left behind
But the memories
Are still fond
So I palm them off
To carry on
So I will let you know
When I am there
In the gentlest breeze
I’m standing still
And the loungers sit
And all agree
Though I’m not poor
I haven’t any money anymore
The thief didn’t thieve as much as he could have done
See I see the good in everyone
I see the good in everyone
I see the good in everyone
I meet
