Avalanche

VERSE 1:
So, every little step I take
Could be that one supreme mistake
That just might bring the mountain down
Whenever I look around
I see the chaos, boiling up
To rip the ground away
CHORUS:
Can you ever get ready for something that’s
Coming at you like an Avalanche
Can you even begin to believe that you
Could deal with a full on Avalanche
Are you saying that you’re so delusional
When the future ahead is an avalanche
Start running right now, you’re unable to
Get ahead in a race
With an avalanche
VERSE 2:
Signs, and all of the portents
Haven’t made it clear
They haven’t made you run for cover
Now, we’re facing disaster
You can all just sit back down, like always
And watch the mountains tumble down
Like an avalanche
Like an avalanche

We Are All Someone
03:04
|

|
VERSE 1:
Hard times, and blue-note level sympathy
And I’m always hearing
Someone should do something about it
Soft crimes, of indolence and selfish greed
My inner judge is screaming
Someone should say something about it
CHORUS:
We are all someone
Someone should do something about it
Yeah? Well guess what? We are all someone
Yeah we are all someone
So who d’ya think is listening to ya?
Yeah wake up we are all someone
VERSE 2:
Double-speak, conditioned to hypocrisy
It seems so strange that
No one ever talks about it
The choice is clear, delusion plus a cheaper bag of shopping
Or take a hit, ‘Cos
That is something you can do about it

Paradise Road
03:41
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
A lazy Sunday afternoon
In Paradise Road
You wouldn’t notice
Not even the end of the world
But every door is closed
In Paradise Road
Cos’ no one wants to Notice
The end of the world
CHORUS:
So high
So far to fall
Yes it’s a long way down from paradise
So high
So far away
We took the long way round to paradise
VERSE 2:
Faces full of surprise
In Paradise Road
There’s no one left to turn to
At the end of the world

A Hopeful World
02:56
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
You really think that competition
Will get you everything that you can use
You think that fighting over scraps is cool
When in truth cooperation rules
If you don’t want survival
Because you just want to win and win and win
Then I don’t want you near me
With all the mess we’re in
CHORUS:
You can see disaster
You just see the greedy boys and girls
I only see confusion
And I still see a hopeful world
VERSE 2:
You worry that they’ll take advantage
The smart ones always just look out for number one
It seems that makes us never trust each other
And that is just the way that we’ve become
Don’t buy into apocalyptic dramas
It’s never really you against the world
In the past we just dug in for victory
And helped each other through the worst of times
|

|
VERSE 1:
Endlessly primed
So we could see the signs
Why were we waiting to see what would happen?
We still ignore the signs
Just like all those other times
When we should have said something, but we didn’t
CHORUS:
When we live today
But we look towards tomorrow
Tomorrow stares right back
So we say it’s just a dream
But in the end it’s clear that
We spend our whole lives waiting for tomorrow
VERSE 2:
No it’s just not fine
To think we need to tow the line
When we know the line just leads to sorrow
And the line just shows
We’ve no direction of our own
So we sell our souls for a line to follow

Light Up The Sky
03:23
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
So do you fear the future?
The world we run towards
It’s quite a simple thing to see
Because fear destroys where love rewards
CHORUS:
And even the darkest sky is full of light
That shines from every star
A canopy that’s blinding bright
And I feel like part of a living universe
That lights up the sky
VERSE 2:
Have you had enough of hoping?
Does it really seem so dark?
If the light that shines from all of us
Can break the walls around our hearts

Save Me
03:27
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
Save me from ignorance
And save me from indifference, yeah
Start acting like you really want
The things that you say you want
Save me from apathy
Save me from everyone who won’t believe
Save me from the bleeding hearts
Who will not change the way that they behave
CHORUS:
Oh save me
Save me from having to make excuses
Save me from a world that will not see the truth
Oh just save me
Oh please save me
C’mon just save me
VERSE 2:
Save me from hypocrisy
Give me a break, don’t try to sell me things you don’t believe in
Save me from your childish ego
That just can’t stand to bear its shame

Hammer
03:19
|
|||
|
VERSE 1:
Drama conflict
Always never-ending
If you see the news
You would believe it all can come true
Wider vision
Shows that conflict’s Manufactured
CHORUS:
Set me free oh set me free
Help me break these chains around me
We can’t be slaves another year
So help me wield the hammer
Set me free oh set me free
Cut the blindfold let me see
I will not shed another tear
Until we wield the hammer
VERSE 2:
Truth gets questioned
While the guilty run for cover
Every hiding place
Must soon be opened
You can’t just unsee
The very chains they use to bind us

Ian Luckett (Data) Birmingham, UK
No autotune - EVER!
You may notice I use lots of harmonies in vocal overdubs, but it is always just my voice with maybe some echo and a little bit of reverb!!!!!
