Awoken Broken

There's a man in the park Walking his dog to a mark In the picture he painted In the picture he painted And the people look on And the people look on Then they carry on Roaming all day long From the eyes of a television inspired mess From a pub to a club to a street to a thug Ignoring the light from above Ignoring the light from above Fight or surrender, no friendly neighbour The butcher and the baker and the mixer and the maker It's a battle with the wind On my neck and in my eyes With the crows looking at That wallet restin' above my thigh Come up to me with a knife and a can With the words "give me what you got" Holding out a hand, no! From the eyes of a television inspired mess From a pub to a club to a street to a thug Ignoring the light from above Ignoring the light from above Fight or surrender, no friendly neighbour The butcher and the baker and the mixer and the maker Can't find any mirror that shines From the eyes of a television inspired mess From a pub to a club to a street to a thug Ignoring the light from above Ignoring the light from above Is it the maker in you, or someone you knew The one who can turn the grey into blue

Well, I go into town today It's city smog and city ways Every eye is on the floor Trying so hard to ignor You gotta watch your back and be aware Blood runs cold, then disappears There's soot and sadness in the air No-one even seem to care Do you wanna hover Towards the air of sumer To love within the land Oh, they say there ain't no place like home? But it ain't here No, it's nowhere near I need to find that shore Oh, they say there's no place like home Well, I get back upon the train It's dark and duller shades of grey Those wings I see go flapping by Those pigeons swarm then learn to cry City smog and city smoke Sky looks it's about to choke On soot and sadness in the air No-one even seem to care Do you wanna hover Towards the air of sumer To love within the land Oh, they say there ain't no place like home? But it ain't here No, it's nowhere near I need to find that shore Oh, they say there's no place like home Yea, they feed off fear Oh yea, they feed off fear Why can't they go? Oh, there ain't no place like home

I see lights Red, green, pink and blue I see lights Their web is bled untrue right through This city! Right through! (x4) I see lights Then a man beaten black and blue Hearts of coal I say "why?" He says "I was not in their crew" It's rotten! The streets are roamed by marching feet and fools It's rotten! They leave their mark upon this furrowed brow It's rotten! And there's no silence like a roaring crowd It's rotten! They pave their way to what they see It's rotten! Right through! (x4) Smoke comes out that cafè Got enough Euros and you'll get laid Mugged, beaten or squashed like a snail Under the foot of malice N those evil-soaked streets A rotten, torn and putrid feel Verminous hate beings, flapping their wings Pave the way for horror and decay Right through! (x6) I see lights (right through! ) I see lights (right through! ) I see lights (right through! ) I see lights (right through! ) I see lights The streets are roamed by marching feet and fools (right through! ) I see lights They leave their mark upon this furrowed brow (right through! ) I see lights And there's no silence like a roaring crowd (right through! ) I see lights (Right through! ) I see lights!

Maybe you were someone you didn't like too much Maybe you were somebody you wouldn't care to touch Maybe you were someone you didin't know so well Were you somebody who couldn't help but dwell in their own heaven Why don't you come to a place you can gleam Into my arms and out of the sheen? I want to lift you up my onlu love I want you to see the light in your own world In the forest I sang For another hand to flow into my own The lady came without a word, she explained Every other heart was stone And when the lake is alight The flames they kiss, they bite The bodies are entwined The birds they fly The broken they do cry Alone in bed all asking "why?" Bright as a fire And wild as the sea Try to get further From the cloud over thee I look in your eyes so grey But I know that A flower is behind Just the colour needs to heal But then you turn around to find another frown A grey town, a hurting heart A busy head can't sleep in its own bed tonight Wanting, waiting, then trying to help thee Finding the sweet angel in your eyes Bright as a fire And wild as the sea Try to get further From the cloud over thee It's your soul, it's your soul, it's your soul!! You had the desire To fly up higher Into the light You searched within the mire To be inspired Out of that haze To beam good energy from Your soul and become The being you wanted to... To beam good energy from Your soul and become The being you are now through It's your soul, it's your soul, it's your soul! Bright as a fire And wild as the sea Try to get further From the cloud over thee

This fountain is a sewer now A flower withered on the ground Pick a tick between the bricks A stain to sink them limp Around the town with frowns and clowns Every step I seem to take These pigeons roams in packs no slack From where they are and where they think it's at If I can fly away, then show me the door To escape this hole and not come back no more These roads are plagued, beaten and sore It's a savage world they all seem to adore The mountains you don't try to climb The streets you dwell so well and find All left rotting plagued with ticks Inch by inch then slip You call yourself a macho man I know you came here with a plan Drink and drink, then fight then drink Then all go back into that routine If I can fly away, then show me the door To escape this hole and not come back no more These roads are plagued, beaten and sore It's a savage world they all seem to adore To disappear into a cloud Wake up in some other distant town I don't really know Why they feed off hate and spread such fear Oh, they never seem to go As the mud flows through those lanes again Well, I just wanted to sail So, so far away Well, I just wanted to go But there's too many ticks on the side of me now Around the town with frowns and clowns Every step I seem to take These pigeons roams in packs no slack From where they are and where they think it's at If I can fly away, then show me the door To escape this hole and not come back no more These roads are plagued, beaten and sore It's a savage world they all seem to adore To disappear into a cloud Wake up in some other distant town To disappear into a cloud Find that suddenly you've lost your frown

I heard her on the phone Shielded, but alone She slurred a tortured tone I can hear the rain splash on the ground She swam through darkness into light Then fell back into the hell of night She searched for colors in the grey Then swam back into that old misery Now that dress is in the gutter The tears have all but gone Now that dress is in the gutter The tears have all but gone The hate for herself grows The shell she hides in knows She built an alternate world Full of vampires, cocks and crows A place where she can go Self-loathe all alone Oh, she's not been at home for so long She's not been at home... Where did your heart go? The glow seemed to freeze in snow Under you wild skies The rain waits for thee Where did that heart go? Her rain soon froze into snow Sorrow fuelled brown eyes Kept speaking in my dreams It was a stone cold realisation When I heard her speak alone Oh, when you live your life through escapism eyes You'll find it hard to heal as the pain sinks deeper within you... Where did your heart go? The glow seemed to freeze in snow Under you wild skies The rain waits for thee Where did your heart go? The glow seemed to freeze in snow Under you wild skies The rain waits for thee Where did your heart go? The glow seemed to freeze in snow Under you wild skies The rain waits for thee

Where has he gone to? I have not seen him in years, years Where is my friend gone now? I can see his skin, but not within, no They had to stop his mind from sinking Into a it of horror Trying to control his thoughts from slipping Into caves of hysteria He lost his clothes To the wihte sheet robes As they said they would show him towards the light Oh, he was drugged up and lost in a colossal course of pills Starting to loose the fight within himself When the light turned grey it trickled Into thought suppression Within his eyes, within his mind Always the same reaction Where has my friend gone I can see his skin, but not within, no He lost his clothes To the wihte sheet robes As they said they would show him towards the light Oh, he was drugged up and lost in a colossal course of pills Starting to loose the fight within himself Is it always right for the state of mind to rely on chemicals? It's easier to ignore than battle problems through Is it easier to create a swamp or is ignorance just cruel To settle a man into a well and take away his fuel? Where has he gone to? In a maze, a placid haze No fear, no tears It may have been the right way at first, for a while But he's been in a bubble for far too long Where's the great adventurer I knew? He lost his clothes To the wihte sheet robes As they said they would show him towards the light Oh, he was drugged up and lost in a colossal course of pills Starting to loose the fight within himself.

I lay now behind windows under a spring sky The robins and the rains, the lorries and the trains go by No raincot needed, not even for my eyes Just seems to stay and swell in rhyme My light is on, the cars hum by As tears come falling from the sky Radiators, ink-stained papers, mixers, makers, undertakers The birds will sing on the dawn of spring No need for any tanning products for my skin As I lay now on a mattress, behind windows Behind curtains, behind windows, behind curtains Behind windows, behind curtains I be the hermit, you be the blue tit Wander with me while I scour the sky Today sees a new day Light of that rainbow seems higher than the rain As tears come drizzling in my drain

Scream into my bed, into the air Searching for some light Screaming mess I fell onto a carousel To feel this nightmare bite Awake in pure love for those close Awake in pure love for those close Awake to see the smiling ghost The smiling ghost, the smiling ghost Scream out blue sky bird Scream into the night (all night) Scream into my bed Shiver up the sweating walls Scream out! Awoken Broken! In the middle of the mud, in a puddle of pain! Scream out! Awoken Broken! Scream out!

Love bloomed so soon then it had to leave Like a door shutting beside me Now I don't have the key to go back and see Well, I tried to search for some bliss But it's all the waking in the week alone And now I see As I flied and you drifted away And it was all in you And what we had That could make our dreaming true A dream I've never seen into Where's the king and who's the clown You wanna sail 'til the dream is over Now the sky just seems to flow You wanna wait 'til the week is over Back into that room, I fell on my knees Still the black clouds all over me Like a sunken sea , like a tortured tree Well, I tried to search for some bliss But it's all the waking in the week alone And now I see As I flied and you drifted away And it was all in you And what we had were the pieces That could make our dreaming true A dream I've never seen into Where's the king and who's the clown You wanna sail 'til the dream is over Now the sky just seems to flow You wanna wait 'til the week is over The search for bliss falls to the ground You wanna sail 'til the dream is over And keep on searching for the four leaf clover In the wilderness I wander As thunder takes her away Now those tears come crashing On this concrete again I fly for you, my dear As the concrete sneers, floating away again Then the spear of destiny inflamed I see the light, but not the day Where's the king and who's the clown You wanna sail 'til the dream is over Now the sky just seems to flow You wanna wait 'til the week is over The search for bliss falls to the ground You wanna sail 'til the dream is over And keep on searching for the four leaf clover

I don't need your salt rubbed in my wounds I won't try and tell you what you sould be or do You dwell in your own tree and Iìll leave you that way Now walk through the jungle of mystery "Who goes there?" you cried out to the night A snake appeared ahead with demonic eyes, he said "Hey come follow me, I'll show you the way" You said "OK, I'll do anything you say" There ain't no love in the air you breathe There ain't no fire in the hearts you leave Try to reminisce of how things used to be Before you climb so high on that darkened tree The snake slithered on through the jungle You followed, but tightly in your palm, holding a rock Waiting for your moment, yea At last you reached the river It was a beautiful waterfall, but nowhere to cross He turned and said "we must wait here for the boatman" As he turned back, you cracked him over the head And tossed him into the water He was no use to you anymore There ain't no love in the air you breathe There ain't no fire in the hearts you leave Try to reminisce of how things used to be Before you climb so high on that darkened tree At last the boatman came Over at him you waved shouting "Please take me to the other side" Boatman looked up and said "OK come take a ride" You then asked "Have you any food?" And then he smiled saying "Yea, I do, why don't you come stay with me for a while" (If you need a place to crash a while) Nights and days went by, and closer you became Until you found a map of that goldmine Off you ran into the midst of night 'til you come to a crooked old bridge You weren't to know it was far too weak As you fell into the rapids below Then trying to swim up and over to the other side Eventually, you pulled yourself out Then staring back at a reflection into your own eyes Screaming and wailing in the night There ain't no love in the air you breathe There ain't no fire in the hearts you leave Try to reminisce of how things used to be Before you climb so high on that darkened tree There ain't no love There ain't no love There ain't no fire There ain't no fire Try to reminisce of how things used to be Before you climb so high on that darkened tree

At last, the weather shines I smell the summer in the drains Oh, at last the weather shines I smell the summer Through the streets and lanes At last, I smile together With the mirror and the moon But it seems she's only inspired When she's being ignored, when she's being ignored Well, I found some joy that I wanted to share with her But it seems that my sadness connected more I wanted to share this light, for I know now The darkness is soon to come My smile wants to fly My smile wanted to float With the mirror and the moon With the woman who came too soon, too soon... At last, the weather shines I smell the summer from the drains And now maybe I can try To heal those eyes and turn the page Then we could smile together With the mirror and the moon We could smile together With the mirror and the moon
