don't stay so long cause I've really gotta go
don't stay so long cause i've really gotta show
don't tie me down cause I gotta get away
cause there is a price that will be paid
don't stay so long cause I know what's going on
don't stay so long i know what's going on
don't hide your eyes cause i can see they're compromised
don't stay so long cause i know what's going on
don't walk the plank cause your not safe to hide there
don't lose your cool cause it's way too hot out there
don't crawl around and act like your a child
and don't lose your markand get mild and wild
don't cut me down cause I know the broken care
don't give into in spite of all of your sins
and don't hurt yourself walking down those darkened stairs
and don't give in to bad health just look after all you can

volcano

sometimes smoke comes out of the ground
and forms a shroud above the airports
stopping planes from flying round
and people sit around and wonder why it had to happen
then and now
a books showed up one sad manuscript
until it was bound and all the words where about volcano
that flew the sky around
formed all of the earth's ancient clouds and walked around
some people in know put on a show wherever they go
they seem to know what's in the know and how everything else flows
how the light sits and what they shouldn't know in their pose
I can't figure out what's wrong with me every single day
I seem to have a swing or two but i'll never feel the same
if you chose to play the game right you'll exclaim
that the light is too dim or too bright
the same part of the game
talking to myself again it must be another bent mode of thinking
train of thought distinction comprehension
when it seems to pass by like some sort of simple eyelet
in a shoelace put on for safety of the streets you roam
don't want cuts from glass and needles broken bones
don't want people thinking that your not alone in the throne
I've been simplifying my life down to what matters the most
my friends my family and vegemite on toast
and i will boast that the symbols in this song about the worst
and best moments in this universe
that just keeps expanding more and more absurd to its own worth
I've been trying to stop the pain inside my brain
by being more open-minded to the words I hear a name
and the prophecies that all do exclaim you're okay

easy

like a man lying in a hall
or a queue that does nothing at all
or a fit and a kick in a stall
surely all these memories will one day fall
it ain't easy anymore
pins and needles in your head
priceless art now ripped to shreds
fluorescent haloes stalking and bred
by a stand-alone fixated thread
it ain't easy anymore
like a tyre going flat all the time
empty words in a lyric-less line
confusion drawn round a circles heavy state
misdirection floating asleep awake
it's not easy anymore
it ain't easy anymore

soap on a rope

you like to be the only one
its a joke hanging on like soap on a rope
for a cause looking at what you cant control
and i heard you where back in town so i hide
near a church but no salvation comes from inside
i heed your heavy call but it won't keep me awake at night
if it's not crying then it's whining or it's lying or it's dying
it's a trick hidden smoky mirrored in bits
and its trained to behave in a tiresome way
and it hurts when i laugh to smile is to hate
and it breathes under skin till the end of your days
I'll heed your heavy call but it wont keep me awake at night
you like to be the only one
