Buildings surrounds me
Towering high
Swaying as I walk by
No wonder I feel small
Buildings are rising
Reaching the sky
Stuck with a fear of heights
No wonder I’m alone
I was going for a walk
When I saw this hole
And I thought to myself
What could possibly fill this void?
But...
Buildings
Okay?
Buildings
Hurray!
Oh elevation
Go to my head
I'm dizzy then I feel fine
What goes up must come down
Builders on rooftops
Try for the sun
You have to start somewhere
Imaging if they'd fall
Shadows hanging over me
Bombastic architecture
It’s the constant truth
That I’m surrounded by
When I see the silhouette of the city
I can’t go back
I can’t go back
When I understand how high up I am
I can’t look down
I might fall down

Coal Mine
03:02
|

Long hours of hard labor
Take a look at my face
A dark space with low ceilings
Such a dangerous place
Rock burst, outbursts and firedamp explosions
Guess I better not slip!
If I had some freedom
Do you think I would stay?
I don’t think I would stay
It’s so hard to make a decent living
When I’m working in a modern coal mine
It’s so hard to like the fortunate ones
When I’m working in a modern coal mine
A slow day of screen time
Feel a twinge in my eye
A bright space with small desks
Such a tedious place
Meetings, phone calls and boring conversations
Better not fall asleep!
If I had some freedom
Do you think I would stay?
It’s so hard to make a decent living
When I’m working in a modern coal mine
It’s so hard to like the fortunate ones
When I’m working in a modern coal mine

Gloomy

Wake up in the middle of the night
There’s that feeling that something ain’t right
Walk around in the dark
Weary mind, gloomy thoughts
Let me go back to sleep again
Minutes turn to hours in bed
When a thousand thoughts fill up my head
Try to close sleepy eyes
Half awake, half in dreams
Let the day chase the night away
The sun comes up - It’s finally morning
Puts my mind at ease
The sun comes up - It’s finally morning
Time for me to wake up
Wake up when the sunlight hits my eye
There’s that feeling it will be alright
Time to get out of bed
Face the day, make it stay
I know that day will turn to night
Wake up when the sunlight hits my eye
There’s that feeling it will be alright
Time to get out of bed
Face the day, make it stay

So windy
No sign of shelter
I’m hanging on by the skin of my teeth
The wind speaks
The voice of a movement
I hear the sound of mutiny
I am proud that you believed in me
Now the time has come for me to leave
Abandoned
Surrounded by strangers
The smiling faces from yesterday
I’m drifting
Away from the main line
I’m only here on borrowed time
I am proud that you believed in me
Now the time has come for me to leave
The rules bend
When the good becomes crooked
Now I am running against the wind
I am proud that you believed in me
Now the time has come for me to leave
I had the best of intentions
How did it all turn out so wrong?

I Told You I Was Sick
03:35
|

I was on my way
When she broke the news
I sat down at the cemetery
And I wept for a few
I didn’t notice all the people passing by
And then I saw the tombstone
It read 1925
Sad and disappointed
In my own disguise
I couldn’t help but wonder
How this happened and why
Next time it’s your turn
And you’ll be sitting next to me
And when you read my tombstone
It’ll say “I told you I was sick”
He was on his way
When she broke the news
He cried at the cemetery
For a minute or two
Go dry your eyes pal
She was a vicious femme fatale
Look around the corner, there is a cure for you de

Streets

Boats and trains
I get there today
From a place filled with moments
Here I am
Between now and then
Making plans in the meantime
In the shade
On Lafayette Street
I slipped out of the back door
Pick me up
Got stuck in this crossing
Let us see something else now
I wouldn’t live anywhere else
I’m a stranger on your street
I see your face here from afar
Youre a stranger on my street
I see your face here from a far
Your a stranger on my street
Early bird
Walking ‘round, passing by
Famous fact’ries and buildings
Where am I
I lost track of time
Guess I’m ready to go now
I wouldn’t live anywhere else
I’m a stranger on your street
I see your face here from a far
Your a stranger on my street

Song About Nothing
03:21
|

Unsteady beats
It’s out of sync
Early entrance
He’s so restless
Every now and then we need some help to get it right
He can’t find the beat
Lost it in the heat
This is just a song about nothing
Words with no particular meaning
This is just a song about nothing
Wrote it just to keep myself sane
The chords sound wrong
It’s out of tune
Late reaction
He’s distracted
Every now and then we need some time to rest our head
He can’t find the key
For the melody
This is just a song about nothing
Words with no particular meaning
This is just a song about nothing
Wrote it just to keep myself sane

A hard rain is falling
I can’t recall when it started
And it’s really hard to say
If we brought it upon ourselves
Let me know if we did
It really won’t surprise me
The lone dove
Sitting in a pool of mud
The hard rain
Broke its spirit long ago
With no home
That mother nature could provide
It gave up at last
The inside is trembling
It causes buildings to come down
And it’s really hard to see
That things will really change
Let me know if they do
I’d like to celebrate it
Car horns
Fumes
Water quality
Unsustainable resources
A great nation
Built on deforestation
Weapon exportation
A worn-out population
Airplanes
Gas stations
Chemicals
Lawn mowers
Street lights
Fire trucks
Distortion
Explosions
Politics
Sports
Television
Nuclear power plants
