Motion Sickness

Around here the weather's unpredictable,
the changes keep me on my feet.
The undercurrent's so invisible,
and I don't know where it leads.
The sense of motion, made me feel so ill, but the surface never felt so still.
Cubic feet, metal hands,
special dice, top secret plans,
lurking in a room without windows.
Even though I'm part machine,
that doesn't make my conscience clean,
so for now I'll keep on walking.
Let me live, let me grow, let me find my own way home.

Gonna make it all work, gonna make it all fit,
gonna make it all make sense somehow.
There's a pattern- I'm sure there's a pattern!
I'm SURE there's a pattern, and I'm gonna figure it out..
Sit back and watch no-one on earth can stop me,
You'll be so proud, I'll be so happy, we'll be the envy of everyone.
Lights out, I can see with the lights out,
I can see and I work out, your every move.
Just a lazy dog, licking at the mouth
of the picture box in front of you.
Wanna know what you need- how to feel complete,
which break from the norm to conform to.
Which fools to suffer, which fools to exalt and sponsor,
how to make it all work, how to make it all fit, how to make it all make sense somehow.
Everyone's seen in nightvision,
Everyone's green in nightvision,
Everyone's seen in nightvision,
and I know where you've been in nightvision.

Mine to Destroy

Piece by little piece, I'll tear this whole thing down for you.
For us, and for everything we thought this was-
I'd bet my eyes.
On a false start, I'd bet my smile on a change of heart.
And I'd bet my breath and blood on it falling apart.
What's mine, is mine to destroy.
I'll be fine.
What are you scared of?
Piece by little piece, I'll tear this whole thing down for you.
For you, for you and your big ideas.
They don't call. They don't write.
They turn up drunk in the middle of the night.
And you welcome, entertain, and believe in them all.
If no-one expects me to drive,
if no-one expects me to decide.
If no-one expects me to try.
You're never as happy, as when we're broken or breaking.
So let's go, I'm ready, I'll take whatever they're throwing.

Scared of Ghosts

As I'm a bit unsure of the great unknown,
when it's dark and it's cold and I'm far from home.
Cos I'm a little bit scared of seeing ghosts.
Well I remember the sounds, and I remember the notes,
and I turned my head, there's nothing there at all.
And I'm a little bit scared of seeing ghosts.
Let me sleep, cos I don't sleep.
Well I can feel the darkness! I can feel the cold!
I can't feel my legs and I can't feel my skull!
Cos I'm a little bit scared of seeing ghosts.
All of the people that were there before,
they were all in my head and I regret it all.
Cos I'm a little bit scared of seeing ghosts.
Cos I'm a little bit scared- of seeing ghosts.
