Standing on this platform, the world is dark and Grey

As that train is leaving, I wave you on your way

I know that you are safe now, and Peace is now at hand

And now you’re watching over us, way up above this land

The umpire has called Stumps and your innings at an end

The final scores are noted and the scorebook has been penned

So now, when we look upwards, there’s a new star in the sky

And we know that up there, with the angels you will fly

But as your train is leaving, I wish that you could stay

But instead I stand here, and wave you on your way

How Lucky I Am

I couldn't believe my luck today
A Nigerian Prince had come my way
He wrote me a mail full of promise and joy
And this is just a few things that he wanted to say

I have 40 million dollars in a bank right here waiting just for you
I need you to release it cause I'm in a little stew
Some bad people want to steal it and your my only hope
I know it must seem strange to you but I am sure that you will make it through

Now how lucky was that, he somehow knew that I was a little short
And a tidy sum of money like this would help things to get bought
So I replied straight away and contacted this saviour to my life
And I told him that I hoped that all the bad people would get caught

I sat here so patiently waiting for the money to arrive
And after a few days I thought I hope he's still alive
He did say he was in danger when he sent that first email
So I sent him another letter and hoped he would reply

I hope that all is well with you and nothing is a miss
And soon you will be safe and well and able to reminisce
The money hasn't made it yet, but I guess it may be tough
Trying to ensure the funds go through the proper business

A few more days had gone right by when something strange occurred
I got a mail from a solicitor hoping that I'd heard
A chinese man had passed away and left me quite a sum
Wow I said who would have thought that I'd have been referred

So now I'm waiting for so much to pop up in my bank
So many people thought of me when there lives upturned and sank
How lucky this one man must be to randomly be their heir
And all I did was send them all my details!! and you thought I was a plank!

Little Things

Nothing much can shake you
The rock beneath's too strong
Each day is just a battle
That goes on for so long
When the worlds against you
And everything looks down
Something will release you
and help you lose the frown


Its just the little things that matter
The smallest moments that suffice
The little smiles that you remember
The tiny things that made you cry

Trying Too Hard

Somebody once told me that a life is only good for fifteen minutes

I didn't understand this quote and asked him to explain just what he meant

He told me of a story of a man who wanted everything around him

And all about the things he lost when looking back, he started to repent

Nothing ever lasts forever and only we can change our destiny

The man was losing touch with all the conversations flowing through his head

No matter what he faced in life the evil was just lurking down below

And now he's on his knees and thinking all about what everybody said

You are trying too hard

Don't push because it might be broken

You are trying too hard

Some of these words never need to be spoken

You are Trying Too Hard
The light went out when you lost emotion
You are trying too hard
It disappeared in all the commotion

The fast car and his model wife were never quite enough for what he wanted
always pushing further he let the things he loved just slip away
The alcohol and cigarettes would only satisfy him for a second
But now he needed something more to get him through the worst part of the day

The harsh realities were there very clear for everyone to see
The only person in the dark is always the star of the show
It could run right up and hit him in the face and he wouldn't even notice
Cause he's had a little high but now there is only once place that is left to go

You are trying too hard

Don't push because it might be broken

You are trying too hard

Some of these words never need to be spoken

You are Trying Too Hard
The light went out when you lost emotion
You are trying too hard
It disappeared in all the commotion

Better Than This

The thunder and lightning is gathering above
There's always a storm when push comes to shove
You can get in my mind and run me around
And you stay there all day without making a sound

I've felt better than this on days before
I may be losing the battle but I'm winning the war
The people all around will see what they see
But at the end of the day, for a good reason, I'm Just Me

Dark shadows surround me at the end of the day
And they look to attack in a particular way
Inside or Outside they will always be close
And it seems that they are upping the dose

I've felt better than this on days before
I may be losing the battle but I'm winning the war
The people all around will see what they see
But at the end of the day, for a good reason, I'm Just Me

Collapsed in a heap or standing up tall
Just as your starting to walk you are ready to fall
The light it is fading and darkness prevails
And once again come the imaginary tales

I've felt better than this on days before
I may be losing the battle but I'm winning the war
The people all around will see what they see
But at the end of the day, for a good reason, I'm Just Me

Broken Halo

Somebody told me that nothing is simple
Complications blocking the path on the way
A difference of opinion is expected as normal
But don’t make a sound as there’s nothing to say

I’m standing here looking at your broken halo
Wondering which moment that it fell to the ground
Looking for an answer to find out the question
Even though the question has already been found

The pictures that capture the moments that happened
Serve to remind us of the moments that passed
Looking through glasses that focus the mind
But the vision that greets us is fading so fast

I’m standing here looking at your broken halo
Wondering which moment that it fell to the ground
Looking for an answer to find out the question
Even though the question has already been found

Travel the road that leads us to nowhere
Taking the chance that nobody cares
Add something more than the simple extreme
Smile on your face and try not to look scared

I’m standing here looking at your broken halo
Wondering which moment that it fell to the ground
Looking for an answer to find out the question
Even though the question has already been found

Losing Your Mind

You look at your reflection time after time
You wonder if you are losing your mind
The smiles disappeared and the laughter has stopped
The tired eyes showing how far that you've dropped
You wonder what happened where did it go wrong
You can't even remember its just been too long
The state that you're in is an endless affair
You look in the mirror and just blankly stare
You once had a heart and everything flew
Those are the times that you want to renew
But the paths overgrown and the weeds choke your dreams
There is no escape or so it would seem
Is this the life that you're destined for
To wear that fake smile when you walk out the door
The time it will come when everything fails
And who'll pick you up when you come off those rails
The drink that once helped is now losing its touch
It was your escape now its becoming your crutch
What is the answer where on earth does it end
Maybe it doesn't, you'll just continue to descend
