Bookstore

She wears the earth, around her neck,
protecting it, she carries it.
I watch her treading lightly, barefoot,
not even scared of the danger she's in.
While I feel like I'm Bastien, in that bookstore..
What am I doing this is not real!
Watching, her dancing, to a rhythm - invisible.
Lost in a landscape lonely, walking on, walking on.
Searching for meaning in dreams like Voltaire.
She won't stop fighting, the nothing.
In the darkness - she is the light.
While I feel like I'm Bastien, in that bookstore..
What am I doing this is not real!
Watching, her dancing, to a rhythm - invisible.
At least that's how it feels, but knowing me I'm always wrong.
So what do I do?
When I feel like I'm Bastien, in that bookstore..
What am I doing this is not real!
Watching, her dancing, to a rhythm - invisible.
The hero never dies, the villain never wins,
but the story never ends, does the story ever end?

Don't Be Afraid

Please we can't stay here, we must go,
we aren't safe here - they are coming for you.
They've been patiently, waiting, and they've been biding their time.
But I won't let them keep you without a fight
You are not theirs to take
So follow me, I apologise
I'm sorry I didn't believe you all those times
Take this camera, you say they hate the light
Well if they get to close to you - flash it in their eyes
I won't let them take you without a fight
You are not theirs to take
But I won't let them keep you without a fight
Even if I should die.
So if I should fall down behind, don't look back just get outta here
Years from now, you will return, not a child.
Don't be afraid.

Blind
03:47

I didn't know, everywhere that I'd lead - you'd follow.
Terrified, eyes terrified so
Just lay back, listening to foals
I can't see, my mind is a mess
but it's the best, it's the best, it's the best.
I don't care, I don't give a rats.
I definitely didn't come here just for a chat.
I tried but but i'm too blind.
I can't work out, this fucking land
am I a man or a hologram?
I can't work out, this fucking mind
every time that I try, I'm left dry
so now I'm standing here like Donnie in the mirror
tapping on the glass with a knife like a killer
watching it ripple thinking can it get weirder
then I hear a cough, twist, see my little sister
dam there's no way I can blame this on the liquor
get the fuck out can't you see that I'm in here?!!
the pills don't work they just make me weirder
but don't tell mum she'll just take me to that healer
that ain't much more than a glorified dealer
i'd rather go down town cop me the real stuff
get mess up to the point I can't fill no-thing
got a hole inside I can't fill up,
so I might as well crush these pills up
do a few lines with a $20 bills wrapped circular
walk around late try to steal stuff
i don't give a fuck I don't even know what's real, what?
I tried but I'm too blind.
Wait, we'll wait, we'll wait, we will forsake
We'll take, we'll take, we'll take and we'll take.

Sound That Hard
03:15

This is what guys need to do to get laid:
be confident and well-groomed.
smile, listen, laugh and connect with folks
be the social-centre of the room
It doesn't sound that hard,
It doesn't sound that hard now does it?
They all want adventure, they want this
Yeah it's all true, I was told so,
by the movies and the music,
I'm exposed to, I'm exposed now
It doesn't sound that hard,
It doesn't sound that hard now does it?
And then one day I wake up lost, scared the stars in the sky,
are burning out one by one, we'll soon be lost without a light
I won't believe in anything again
This is what guys need to do to get laid:
Be not depressed, and real cool
try not to get completely wasted,
and be anti-social at every do
It doesn't sound that hard,
It doesn't sound that hard now does it?

Here

Time for your soul to rise, you know it's mine oh mine
I have the best of you, you know I'll see you right through
The sample that you take right now, I will turn it upside down
Why would you ever get what you need?
Why do you always take whatever you please?
What do I have, what do I need to pay
Don't try cause you'll only get in my way
Turn the beat up way too loud
You're so cool cause you stand out in a one man crowd.
I didn't get in here till way too late
These girls, they always make my bones shake
We all knew but we couldn't give a rats
We all knew that you turn your own world to black
I'm here
but it's not worth the pain
I'm here
but i'm sick of these games
You told me that I would get mine
You told me that I'd find
What does it take to satiate?
This time don't tell me something so fake
In here I will go insane
The only reason that I'm in it's for the fame
All these fans and all these schemes,
they take me to a place I really don't wanna be
I'm here
but it's not worth the pain
I'm here
but i'm sick of these games
Rhyme prodigy, fire starter,
y'all mc's better try harder
Right now y'all make me: haha,
might as well be the men - the Baha
Meanwhile I'm in the bar at La La's,
tryna find me a Lady Gaga
so we can go and do a nakey cha-cha,
I'm just trying to escape the blah blah
that surrounds me,
it confounds me,
til I feel some days it'll drown me
if i don't go out and break boundaries
cause I'm bad like my names Mike Lowry
specially when the bass drums pounding
and everybody in the place is bouncing
I guess this is dance music counselling
so throw your antidepressants out kids
uh - dance music counselling
throw your antidepressants out kids
I'm here
but it's not worth the pain
I'm here
but i'm sick of these games

Naked
03:58

You've such a pretty head,
right now I want to kill it dead,
but then you look at me like that
and I kiss your lips instead
Why can I see that you're bad for me,
Why can I see that you're bad for me,
and still not change?
Slow dance, we spin around
You always get me down
Think thoughts to run away instead
I pull you dress over your head
Why can I see that you're bad for me,
Why can I see that you're bad for me,
and still not change?
I'm not me I'm not myself
you've got me underneath your spell
Let me go.
It's been a crazy ride,
one I want to leave behind
but you have your own ideas,
now naked, here it's clear.
Why can I see that you're bad for me,
Why can I see that you're bad for me,
and still not change?
