Sympathy Love & Religion Have Taught Me Fear

Sympathy

To consider and pity others, Is a skill I’ve found hard to obtain? I’ve walked down the path of respect, To understand your pain. Locked myself away and turned out the lights, Being used so many times before, Climbing the walls of anger in my room, To contain; the Fear; inside my head. Risk entering the light in the dark times, Are People withholding shame? Just to fall into a big black hole, And then reach for sympathy again. Locked myself away and turned out the lights, Being used so many times before, Climbing the walls of anger in my room, To contain; the Fear; inside my head. Locked myself away and turned out the lights, Being used so many times before, Climbing the walls of anger in my room, To contain; the Fear; inside my head.

Love

You can’t lift the weight of Love, The strongman said; Fear it, the weight will hold you down, You can’t escape from the shackles of Love, A cell man said; Fear it, cause it will hold your Heart. Take your Heart and tear it apart. You can’t escape the grounds of Love, Said the Lion; Fear it chasing you down. You can’t afford the price of Love, The Banker said; Fear the interest rate going sky high, Fear it taking your Heart and tearing it apart. Love is when you’re lost, Love is when you’ve been rejected and left alone. Love is when you’re cross, When the telephone don’t ring no-one wants to talk to you. And I can’t wait to see her face, To touch her skin, once again. Love is all alone, May be I should pick up the phone. Love is when you’re lost, Love is when you’ve been rejected and left alone. Love is when you’re cross, When the telephone don’t ring no-one wants to talk to you. No! you can’t lift the weight of Love. Or escape the grounds of Love. The Lions hunting you it will track you down. And the interest rate is too high. I just want to try. And I can’t wait to see her face, To touch her skin, Hold her body once again. And I can’t wait to feel her face, In my hands, Once again, once again. To smell her, To touch her skin, Hold her body next to mine.Love has taught me Fear.

Religion

What religion are you? And does it matter what I think about or what I do? Do you truly believe? Is someone teaching you the things that only I will fear?What religion are you? Christian, Muslim, Hindu or a Jew? Do our God’s share the same view? About the treatment you give to your fellow man. HATE! Is all the rage! RAGE! Something talked about in War. WAR! A difference of faith! FAITH! Fear what you’re fighting for. What religion are you? And did you come here to impress me with your views? Has your Father explained why? There is no-one left in your Family anymore? HATE! Is all the rage! RAGE! Something talked about in War. WAR! A difference of faith! FAITH! Fear what you’re fighting for. Is Religion being used by a privileged few? To fuel a War. Could it be used by you and me? To love each other as it was meant to be. God save our chosen ways, cause I don’t want to believe this anymore. What religion are you? Christian, Muslim, Hindu or a Jew? Do you feel like I do? That some pricks are creating all this shit out there. HATE! Is all the rage! RAGE! Something talked about in War. WAR! A difference of faith! FAITH! Fear what you’re fighting for. HATE! Is all the rage! RAGE! Something talked about in War. WAR! A difference of faith! FAITH! Fear what you’re fighting for.

Fear

When the evening comes, the lights go out; I am here on my own. I turn my head too, lie against the wall as all the ghosts come out. My fear is everyone's fear; my fears are loose. I walk into a spiders web, I am afraid to turn around. A statue I become to think, about what has gone wrong; I can feel her eyes on me. My fear is everyone's fear; my fears are loose. But the one thing I fear most in life is failure. I try so hard not to be like my piers. To loose respect in the face of uncertainty is not calming. To fail is to loose life's blood running through my veins. Me failure; don't come to me. I will drown in your tears. The sympathy I've given, Love that I have received, Religion misgiven. All have taught me fear, All have taught me fear. But the one thing I fear most in life is failure. I try so hard not to be like my piers. To loose respect in the face of uncertainty is not calming. To fail is to loose life's blood running through my veins.

Thanks very much

Thanks very much for looking away, Thanks very much for leaving me today, Thanks very much for giving me so much soul, Thanks very much for saying the things you meant not to say, And the World looks better for me today, I lost a nightmare I lost a Ghost which hung over me, So thanks very, King much, but I win this time. Thanks very much for telling me half of the truth most of the time, Thanks very much I don’t love you anymore, Thanks very much I appreciate that you’re gone, Thanks very much for looking away, And the World looks better for me today, I lost a nightmare I lost a Ghost which hung over me, So thanks very, fucking much, but I win this time.

Sympathy love & Religion have taught me fear

Sympathy where you been, I’ve been waiting for you, though the cold wind blows through your hair, and love where you been, I’ve been waiting for you, and your face lights the room as I see you, Religion where you been, I’ve been talking to myself again, Through the long days behind I though of you, Fear where you been, because I needed you, As a friend and I have waited for a friend, Now the time has come when I have waited for too long, And the Sea has turned green for me I must be strong, Carry on through the changing times turn my soul to see, one of life’s comforts in front of me that I may never feel.

Hooker

Can you treat me kindly? For the service that I give to you, Will take a part of me and forever stay with you. For I am a humble woman and you a stronger man, Could take my secrets from me, with one strike of your hand. Can you treat me kindly? For a service that I give to you, Will take my soul from me and leave it with you. Cause I am a Hooker! For you to come and see, Hookers are easy to friend, Leave your inhibitions and I will sooth you mind. I wonder why, you come for me, your wife should never find, why does all this happen? In the backseat of her mind. When she tries so hard, to please you! Can you treat me kindly? For the service that I give to you, Will take a part of me and forever stay with you. For I am a humble woman and you a stronger man, Could take my secrets from me, with one strike of your hand. I wonder why, you, come for me, your wife should never find, why does all this happen? In the backseat of her mind. When she tries so hard to please you! To please you, Ohh to please you! To please you!

I’m on my own again

Can’t understand all this pain I’m in, the talk of you is under my skin again, I’m on my side with the pain, tell me you’re here to stay. I’m on my own here again, the stories I’ve read keep me half insane, the book I wrote the night about you, all this text tells my soul, that she walked out on me. Can’t understand all this pain I’m in, the talk of you is with all my friends. I tell the wharf about the pain, He tells me you’ll come back again, The stories I’ve read keep me half insane, The book I wrote tells about all the pain, she walked out on me again, I’m on my own here again, The truth it never ends, She walked out on me, I’m on my own again, The truth it never ends, The truth it never ends.

Addict

Picture the Addict in my head, and show it to someone else, look at the Addict in my soul, Help me to find more love, Drink don’t tame the Addict in my head, Buy it for someone else, Drugs can’t tame the Addict in my soul, Sell them to find me more love. Friends don’t tame the Addict in my head, Tell them to find someone else, Family don’t tame the Addict in my soul, Tell them to find me more love, Drink don’t tame the Addict in my head, Buy it for someone else, Drugs don’t tame the Addict in my soul, Sell them to find me more love. Cause I’m an addict, addicted to your love. Cause I’m an addict, an addict for your soul, Cause I’m an addict, addicted to your love. Cause I’m an addict, I just can’t get enough of your love, Cause I’m an addict, I just can’t get enough of your love, Cause I’m an addict, I just can’t get enough of your love.

I see stars tonight

Every time I look into your eyes, I see that stars are burning bright in Auburn skies, Every time I see your face in front of me, Ohh, I can tell that you’re my destiny, And I’m waiting for tomorrow, You are coming home to me, Sunshine high above the ocean, I see stars tonight on me, Every time I fall into your open arms, All the world is turning please don’t set me free, Now you’re here I feel so self assured, Ohh, I can’t help myself from touching stars, And I’m waiting for tomorrow, you are coming home to me, Sunshine high above the ocean, I see stars tonight on me, and I’m waiting for tomorrow, you are coming home to me, Sunshine high above the ocean, I see stars tonight on me.

Plastic ships

A plastic ship fell down here from heaven yesterday, I don’t know why. A mother tried to save her boy from catching it again, I don’t know why. Falling from the trees, playing in the breeze, save your soul it needs you. Sending down through endless seeds, catch a phrase, I don’t know why. My father saw my fate today; think he might have prayed I don’t know why. Falling from grace is easy if you please, but save your soul it needs you, a plastic ship fell down here from a little boy today, I don’t know why. A mother tried to tell her boy it’s only a toy let it go, I don’t know why. All of my needs are saying to me, Save your soul please, Can’t think why. Settle down through ancient roads and memories, I don’t know. Dragonfly sells cookies, floating round my head, I don’t know why. And I’m falling from this space, But save my soul it needs you. Save your soul from heaven, save your soul, It needs you. Save your soul from heaven, save your soul, It needs you. A little boy fell from heaven today. I don’t know why

Honey well is mine

The Fence is the same, De-JA-vu she said, This place I’ve seen before, So guess what’s next, The Gardens grown over, There is a key to be found, Open the door to find, A Waterfall and a lake nearby, The Sea, the Moon, the sunshine, Will awaken you to find, That the Lakes are filled with Moonshine And the Honey well, is mine. The trees covered the place we had gone there quite a lot, We stood over there, In that Honey well of mine, So take me to the lake and I’ll find, The key to love which opens my mind, Swim in the Moons light don’t be blind, And the Honey well, is mine. And the trees will bend to show you, The blessedness of your life, Rein on you through this place of mine, And the breeze will blow you to me, The love you know you’ll find, And the Honey well is mine The Sea, The Moon, The Sunshine, Will awaken you to find, That the Lakes are filled with Moonshine, And the Honey well, Ooh- is mine. So take me to the lake and I’ll find, The key to love which opens my mind, Swim in the Moons light don’t be blind, And the Honey well, Ooh- is mine.
