LYRICS

Withdrawn (1997)

THE LIFE

It takes too long
To grab hold of things like this

Then it all slips away too fast
And when you think you have it all
You realize it will never last

What a stupid game we play
What a stupid life we live
What take so much, when there's nothing left
To give

It takes too long
To grab hold of things like this

Then it all slips away too fast
And when you think you have it all
You realize it will never last

What a stupid game we play
What a stupid life we live
What take so much, when there's nothing left
To give

What a stupid life we live
What a stupid game we play
We say so much, when there's nothing left
To say

Is this the life
You want to live?

VERTIGO

This is so fast, it has to go slow
Before it goes away
Before you rush another
Before you leave the other the way
The way it used to be
The way it used to be

Come to my realm of mist
An infinite ride
All the way around again
All the way around again

This is so fast, it has to go slow
Before it goes away
Before you rush another
Before you leave the other the way
The way it used to be

When we fell
In each others arms
In love

When we fell
In each others arms
In love

The way it used to be...

MAY COMES (co-written by Mona Godding)

As May comes blundering in,
Why this should be no one knows
We have to keep on trying
Its the only way to go

As May comes...

As May comes blundering in
She looks like the perfect girl
I couldn't help but fall in love
I want to be in her world

As May comes...

As May comes blundering in
Won't you ever be mine
I had to try and kiss you
And you didn't seem to mind

As May comes...

IF ONLY YOU KNEW

If only you knew what I've done
If only you knew what I wanted to say
If only you knew what I've thought
Then I'd be a happier boy, today

If only you knew what I've done
If only you knew what I wanted to do
If you knew what I wanted to do to you
Then maybe I could hold on, to you

I never had the chance
I never had the words
Only emptiness
Which could never be heard

If only you knew

****************************

VANILLA

What do you do I said
As I was swimming
Into the fathomless beauty
Of your eyes

Your touch so smooth so silky
It left me in a world
In a world where no one
No one knows where to go

In the windows of your soul
I lost my head so out of control
But you saved me
Like the many hearts you stole

You saved me, like the many hearts you stole

As she falls from the sky so far
We see the face
Of a fallen star
As she graces us
With lust
And bliss
I grazed her cheek with a gentle
Kiss...

Now it's time for us to depart
I looked at you with love in my heart
You looked me in a very strange way
And you turned to him
And you walked away
You walked away

**************************

CONFLICT

Forget who you are
Forget who you were

Forget all that you know
Forget all that you think
Forget all that you believe

Give in to me
Do it for me
Give in to me
Do it for me

Do it for me
And I'll be your best friend
Do it for me
And I'll be your best friend

Don't you know those loose lips
Don't you know they sink ships
Don't you know those loose lips
Don't you know they sink ships
Don't you know they sink ships
Don't you know they sink ships

****************************

WITHDRAWN

I came out of the womb
From that day on
I've been withdrawn...

****************************

TAKE ME

Take me to a place
Where I can hear your call
Take me to a place
Where tears don't fall

Take me to a place
Where I can see
An everlasting sky
Spreading blue
Where the angels fly

Take me

Take me to a place
Where I can see
An everlasting sky
Spreading blue
Where I can learn to fly

I want to learn to fly
With the angels...

*******************************

The Pla(y)gue

Tonight, it happened
Not like the other nights
This time, I'm walking away
You play your games

What have I done
To deserve this
Nothing, you said
So I leave a bitter sweet kiss

I've waited a long time
To do this
I've waited a long time
For you

********************************

HEAVEN IS BLUE
(inspired by The Beatles: Yellow Submarine)

My dear friends
Let us not forget
That heaven is blue

Slipping through the sky
Beyond the clouds and stars

There's no going back now
There's no going back ever
You wipe your sweaty brow
Begin, to wish, you never...

My dear friends
Let us not forget
That heaven is blue

Tomorrow the world...

SYLVIA'S DREAM

She lays down to sleep
Never to dream...

She lays down to rest
She has her first dream
Never to wake up
And share her dream

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up...

Dream.
