SLEEPVILLE GUARANTEED
In this town all days are more or less the same
Everyone knows what to do
Only routine remains
You grow up, fall in line
A small town made design
All according to what they say
We hold our traditions dear
No need for distraction
You’ll find everything you need
We guard your safety here
Sleepville guaranteed
In this town where everyone knows everyone
There are smiles and greetings
All is well under the sun
Deception and deceit stay hidden underneath
Goodnight kiss when all is said and done

DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED
I don’t care whether it rains or not
I know I’m gonna spend all I’ve got
Been learning for so long
I’m out to make new memories
A small escape from reality
Eight weeks, I’ll be far gone
I hope I can spend this with you
So far from what we are supposed to do
After looking forward for all these months
To the best time of every year, it all went fast
Now as summer went I’ll be holding on
To the days of future passed
There will be more, still far away
I’m back to the things I do every day
And weeks now feel like years
The aftermath takes me away
To the lake where we went swimming naked every day
It’s comforting to share this feeling
I’ll walk home but won’t find you there
A place where safety still has meaning
Good to know that someone really cared

FALL IN LINE
So, dear past,
You have taught me all I know
Different memories, some stayed, some had to go
Lessons learned, stories heard
Tossed and turned
I have tried to watch from all sides
Leave what I don’t need behind
By now I think I know what I can do and what I can’t
I’m ready to spread my wings and turn my dreams into plans
I may not be successful but I know it will be mine
But I’ll never fall in line
Now, dear past,
I will move straight ahead
We both know all is done and all is said
You can’t guide me now
I can do without any doubt you might cast
upon me and my high aspirations
I’ll take what’s mine

RIVERVIEW
I’ve lived many lives, it’s not over yet
I’ve moved out, a different mindset
Stuck in a room with a view in the burning sun
The rest of my days at Riverview
I wish I could spend them here with you
Feeling you holding me
All’s just a memory
Old people used to be young when the young weren’t even there
(Just a reflection)
Tired of recreation activities
I’m good on my own, no distraction, please
Stuck in a moment, sometimes I still feel young
Where has the time gone?
The house where I’ve lived for so long
The rest of my days at Riverview
I’m sorry I can’t spend them here with you
Hearing you calling me
Your voice a memory

FEELING GAY
I’ve been good
Going well
There’s a fun place where I go to when I’m glad
There is nothing that can change this
I’m on a carousel
Going round
Repetition soothes me
I don’t want to be found
I’m a sucker for all sounds that make me cheerful
I find joy in feeling gay
It’s like food
Saccharine
It’s a monster that resides inside of me
Like a big pile of imaginations
That light a spark
I like glowing in the dark
When everyone is asleep so I won’t be disturbed
In finding joy and feeling gay
No one is in my world
(No one is in my world after all)
It’s good to be alone
(Good to be alone)
No one understands where I’ve been going all these years
So please, save me from reality
I have found my goal
I just want to be gay

Wrong

WRONG
I know it has taken me a long, long time
To reclaim my name
Remove the mountains I have climbed
Every single day in a heartless way
I learned to revel in my solitude
I could not have been wrong every day
Just like resignation mingled with regret
I’m ready for the pages that I haven’t got to yet
Shine this light knowing I’m alright
I left you long ago
You never knew that we were through

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Sure, you can be proud of the place you were born
But there’s no point being fundamental
Or irrationally proud of the soil you walk upon
Excessively overblown and sentimental
Just a little knowledge of the world makes you wiser
Assuming you can understand what is said and heard
Food for thought
If you get access to food for thought
All things that can teach you how to be a better person in the end
“A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, you know”
Don’t let your view be blocked by what you have always known and comprehend
“Curiosity killed the cat, how about that?”
You can discover what you like
“You might discover what you like”
And truth may cut you like a knife
“And truth won’t satisfy”

ON AN ISLAND
Something in my way of thinking isn’t quite alright
For I judge without distinction
Points of view are far and wide
I’m a judge without authority
I keep my thoughts unplayed
I know that choices made aren’t mine to serenade
Sometimes I want to be left alone
Blind to the world, everything unknown
Leave me on an island on my own
Is it because I would like to have it all my way?
I have gone through self-reflection
Wondering whether all is A-OK
On my side of this crowded part of planet Earth
Where none should criticize what it’s all worth
But then again
Sometimes I want to be left alone
Blind to the world, everything unknown
Leave me on an island
Far away from all that’s bothering me
Left on my own so I cannot see
Leave me on an island all alone
I’d like to clear my mind a little sometimes
Sometimes
And so I built a solid little shelter for a small amount of downtime

ANNIE
She knows it’s all made of great fear and wonder
And it will be revealed on judgement day
She paved her way with sacrifice
That’s the way she’d learned to compromise
She doesn’t remember my name
Once did, but it’s gone away
A memory fading so fast
Living the same day every day
She used to get by safely on her own
Some secrets aside, like she’d always known
She had a social life
Sanctuary
Some things you just can’t buy
Prosperity
And the music box will play
Play it all over again
Play it all over again
Broken records, turn away
Play it all over again
Play it all over again
There’s not that much left to call home
Surrounded by few who care
Yet she’s in this world all alone
Breathing the same old air
She used to be proud of everything she had
Now so much has changed, she’ll never understand
Where have the good times gone
They went so fast
When she was twenty-one
Those moments would forever last
Reality going away
Her memories fade
They recount all the years
She’s had more than a few
Impossible to stay awake
She wants to let go
But her heart won’t stop beating
She’s forced to relive once more

CHANGES RISE
Small town girl
Trying hard to stay the same
In an ever changing world
Holding up her father’s name
There’s an empty space but she hasn’t figured out how to
Get there and then change her life
She’s daddy’s pride
One small step makes changes rise
Though it might feel like you’re moving mountains
One small step makes changes rise
Much closer to your own life
First born son
Working for the company
Like his father’s always done
Keep it in the family
Could this scheduled life be enough till the day he dies
Irritation grows inside
He’s got to hide
It’s getting clearer
As they glance into the rearview mirror
They see life pass away without really taking part

THIRTYSOMETHING AND COUNTING
I have come to the point where I no longer refuse
to look myself straight in the eye
Can I do more than I try or do I have to try more?
These feelings of doubt nullified
So now I search for what I really feel
Heart revealed
So surreal
I am swinging between independent and crazy
while I suddenly realize
There is no need for this great divide
What I think I know no longer can suffice
As I crave for company
I enjoy the silence in between
Friends surrounding me
Yet solitude is overwhelming
Self imposed quarantine

CODA
Feel like I’ve lived so many lives
More than anyone should live
I’ve given all I had to give
Long before living became relative
The last thing I will know
To realise where this will go
And I can’t spend these hollow days with you
I wish I could spend them with you
I’ll be gone before this is through

MAIN STREET
It’s just another day on Main Street, here at Joe’s café
And the barber next door sells a small selection of good papers and some magazines
Right across there’s an ageing but well served hotel
There’s a sense of security, you can tell
It’s a plain parade
Such a plain parade
Some won’t treasure, some will celebrate
This plain parade
Just a plain parade
As it was and ever shall be
A very casual day on Main Street
Somewhere music plays
Miss Taylor, by coincidence, makes suits and skirts affordable to anyone
Mister Roberts opens up his grocery store
And the baker on the corner knows what he is baking for
In this town all days are more or less the same
I don’t wanna be a part of this community
More than meets the eye, a thin line between pride and shame
Deception and deceit still lurking underneath
All this will remain as it has always been

LETTER TO LAURA
First love
We are only seventeen
Not grown up yet
I’ll write you when the music plays
Somewhere along the way you kind of caught me by surprise
No one ever told me about same gender butterflies
Now it’s you that keeps me from thinking straight
But to see you move away was such a heavy weight
First love
We are only seventeen, not grown up yet
I’ll write you when the music plays
Just ‘cause you are gone doesn’t mean I will forget
I’ll write you when the music plays
(Music plays)
All that I have left is this music box that still plays our tune
Afternoons
Do you recall them, too?
When no one watched you put your hand in mine
We somehow knew we’d crossed a secret line
We could have made this world a better place
It’s okay to fall in love with the one you fall in love with

COMING OUT
After years of denying
This strange mystifying
Sensation is getting the best of me, and
I do now understand
What it’s like to be mended
At least, I am hoping, I’ll stay where I stand
No more hiding
I’m coming out
Foreshowing a brand new day

Out Of Hand

OUT OF HAND
I bought a new TV last night
Now I’m never alone and it provides me light
Saves me from a wasted day
Satisfies my appetite
Avoid all they could account me for
A first rate bottle from the liquor store
Ignore all knocking on my front door
I’m done with fighting all your wars
A perpetrator in disguise
Leave the world to its own demise
I can’t win this race so I’ll just fossilize
Remote control in a willing hand
Safe to say that I am in command
I assess where it’s going but it’s never enough
Drowning in a wasted land
I could shit myself, no one would care
This dying world is out of hand

ONLY STORIES
I could never figure out how faith in a myth could be your guide
It’s an entertaining story but it never should provide
And I couldn’t care less how insanely blessed they all are in that room
If a god really existed they’d be doomed
Well, fuck this lot and their weird doctrines
They leave me here, appalled
I am proud to be a heretic
They’re only stories after all
It’s a way to keep down people, it’s a way to preordain
It includes plain inequality, it divides where love should reign
And the ones who lead have a license to feed little boys and little girls
With food for the mind, extras aside they’ll try not to confirm
So fuck this lot and their weird doctrines
They leave me here, appalled
I am proud to be a heretic
They’re only stories after all
If you’re ever tempted to get closer, know they play it well
There’s a land of milk and honey, and they know how to sell
You can do what you want if you go to confession now and then
And the lord provides, all will be fine with a loud and clear amen
Well, fuck this lot and their weird doctrines
They leave me here, appalled
I am proud to be a heretic
They’re only stories after all

LIBERTY OR DEATH
I don’t wanna be a part of this community
I don’t wanna be a part of the fools majority
I’ll buy a one way ticket to get me out of here
I would rather walk alone and be sincere
I don’t wanna be a part of this society
I feel like choosing death or liberty
Keep your distractions that have served you all too well
Cast aside as I start thinking for myself
And I might but I don’t
And I should but I won’t
Take it from people just like you
I can’t see what you see
I can only disagree
In the end I will be judged, no matter what I do
With a smile I’ll wave goodbye and think: fuck you

By now I think I know what I can do and what I can’t
I’m ready to spread my wings and turn my dreams into plans
I may not be successful but I know it will be mine
But I’ll never fall in line
Now, dear past,

We both know all is done and all is said

I can do without any doubt you might cast
upon me and my high aspirations
I’ll take what’s mine

DISOBEDIENCE AND CONSEQUENCE
Dressed to the nines
The occasion forced me to
Never speaking my mind
I am stuck in a world with you
I can’t say what I think
This is all inside my head
I accept everything
Though I often wish you dead
Staying low is a way to survive
(Always aware and a permanent smile)
Never show
What I truly feel
There’s an empty doorway and a lock without a key
What if I got what’s mine
I would end up all alone
So I’ll go and deny
What is obviously shown
Never show
What I truly feel
There’s an empty doorway and a lock without a key
No room to breathe
Underneath I know I’m much more than this
(I know your
Tales of disobedience and consequence)

SALT OF THE EARTH
It all started long ago
And when he joined he aimed for gold
Never felt this much alive
And how the company did grow
All else just accessory
The end justifies the means
It’s all there is to know
He’s the salt of the earth
His ambitions worth
Every effort counts
Without losing ground
Not a second spilt
And if it goes downhill
Take it one step back
Take it one step back to move it ahead
After years of building dreams
Caught up with reality
One man’s loss is someone else’s gain
Yet nothing’s what it seems
Now acceptance is the key
To move on and guarantee
There’s an end to this, you’ll see
As he looks back
Concludes it all went fine
Worries of old times
He’s getting older

SMALL TOWN RESIDENT
This is my home, it’s where I have always been
A few streets amidst these fields of green
Where nothing’s complicated
I know it’s not much but it’s where I do belong
Where I grew up, spent my holidays
At the lake, where I first dated
So, I avoid complexity
I was born in a small community
And the city’s far away
A distant maze of danger
Where I could never find my way
I’m bound to spend my days right here
Know that I’m not agreed with all I hear
That I’m trying to discuss what’s dear
Question every motive
Not trying to change the world
But I’d like to make it a better place
While the city’s far away
A distant maze of danger
Where I could never find my way
I’m bound to spend my days right here

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic.
