Way Good linkage

Lyrics written up so far.

Synchronised

Im out of touch
out of time
chasing a goal
that isnt mine
no-one can run

To a steady beat

Sooner or later

You lose your feet

A change in pulse

A rhythmic shift

Out of pace

I slowly drift

Cant follow a beat

That isnt yours

Every system

Has its flaws

Work all day

Sleep all night

Ticking hands

Control your life

Keep in time

Keep the pace

You can try

Dont lose the race

 

 

I fall behind

Losing the race

I get back up

And try to chase

When I try

To slow it down

The beat is lost

I slowly drown

A fatal flaw

I trip upon

Battered now

I cant go on

Focus lost

Head caves in

Pain lurks deep

Within my skin

  


around the world

The beat goes on

Synchronised

Just like this song

Check your step

Keep on going

Even though

The pain is showing

 

"Synchronised" lyrics by Moore and Parry. Music mostly by Cole.

CARDIAC ARREST
 
He was forty-something
Working five 'til nine
Earning minimum wage
On a customer support line
When he finally gets home
He's still put under stress
With three screaming babies
Give him a CARDIAC ARREST!!!
 
 
Mary has a problem too
She can't fit through her door
And when she finally squeezes in
She winds up on the floor
Her arteries were a-cloggin'
As she went to get a snack
She opened her fridge door
And had a HEART ATTACK!!!

"Cardiac Arrest" by Black Lotus. Music by Cole and Moore.

The Struggle

 

We just want to

Do things our way

We want you to

 See the light

Theres no way that

You can cage us

No way to suppress

Our life

 

We have fought

Without a nation

Our salvation

Is the prize

All our time weve

Stood against your

Worthless anger

Selfish pride

 

We arent heard

We are the voiceless

The struggle cant be

Compromised

Have no feelings

On New Labour

They dont care

About our lives

 

Theres no need for

Petty fighting

Pointless insults dont

Keep us alive

Why dont you

Just realise

We only want

Freedom from lies

 

Ignorance is

Just how we are

We wont listen

You can try

We resort to vandalism

We cant work just

Dance all night

"The Struggle" lyrics by Ashley. Music by Black Lotus

Superiority Complex

 

Somewhere must be a cure

The evil inside is pure

Superiority

Is dwelling inside of me

              

Godly, they dont agree

Soon they are sure to see

When can I let them know?

Cant let my weakness show

 

I stand correct

And no-one sees

Theres nothing left

But this disease

My swollen head

My company

Emotions dead

Inside of me

 

You cant complain

Im better than you

Im not insane

You know its true

They cannot see

Im always right

But its just me

In the dead of night

 

Above them all

A deity

No one can be

Better than me

Im so great

But I dont care

No need to wait

No need to share

 

They cant suggest

Im dead inside

I beat the rest

I just cant hide

Am I

Superiority

In complex form

Unknown to me

"Superiority Complex" lyrics mostly by Cole. Music by Black Lotus.

        Be Yourself     

 

        Follow me now and Ill show you the way,

        Determination keeps you going through your life each day,

        So if you need encouraging theres no need to turn, just look

        inside yourself and find something you should learn.

                  All you can do when youre left alone,

Is to find somewhere new and be true to yourself,

People around you may bicker and moan,

But really they care for the things that make you you.

Do what you can and youll make it I know,

Effort and work never hurt anyone,

So carry on fighting for the skills you can show,

Be true to yourself and prove the skeptics wrong.

 

                  Follow me now and Ill show you the way,

                  Determination keeps you going through your life each day,

                  So if you need encouraging then theres no need to turn, just look inside yourself and find theres something you should learn.

 

 

The hardest choices in life are those made by you,

Nobody else will tell you what you should do,

So keep on learning from mistakes that you make, just look inside yourself for your own sake.

"Be Yourself" lyrics by Parry. Music by Black Lotus.
