1.	Dreaming 04:21	lyrics	buy track
The frost that’s climbing up my windowsill Is the same thing keeping these heartstrings still Camoflauged in chamomile Sleepless but I’m dreaming still Sleepless but I’m dreaming still — Do what you want Do what you want Do what you want You do you (Repeat) — Do what you want to Get what you need to Do what you want to Get what you need to Need to, need to (Repeat)
2.	Aftertaste 05:30	lyrics	buy track
Look around the world today See the great divide at play Leaves a bitter aftertaste Woke up got the news today Sins we can’t pray away Breakfast with an aftertaste — Magnificent living 1% tripping Pools atop mountain tops Irony dripping Profit and loss balance sheets Primates and parakeets Not at war, not at peace Heaven just out of reach Hypocrites and alibis Problematic, paralysed Megalomania I feel powerless Close my eyes Hold my breath Count my blessing Pay my debts Pop my pills Pat my pets Irony and envy and Enemies painted black Caricatures making sure Always press the attack We’re played off each other Sisters and brothers A system so sick So much of us suffer Uproot make a move Make it better Sow the seeds, plant the trees Sow the seeds, plant the trees — Look around the world today See the great divide at play Leaves a bitter aftertaste Woke up got the news today Christchurch at war in flames Breakfast with an aftertaste — What am I supposed to do? I don’t understand I’m just one man Sit or take a stand No plans to speak of Come take a leap of faith with me What am I supposed to be? Visionary? Part of the machinery Scripture erase sand When will we learn from Why do we play dumb Come read a book with me What am I supposed to do? I don’t understand Just a little ant Sit or take a stand No plans to speak of Come take a leap of faith with me
3.	Change 04:38	lyrics	buy track
Prayer beads Birds of prey Words of war and peace Ironies Socrates The question at his knees Falling trees Rising seas Mania meets abandon Through aimless means Icarus wings An eagle comes crashing Sowing seeds of discontinued dreams That’s the game Giving just enough for you to get a taste — A starry-eyed pantomime Dedicated performer Suit and tie, get in line Contemplate like the others Against the grain Too ashamed to own his own existence Different shades, tidal waves Wash over with persistence Anchor me in this dream In the here and now When it all ends The world won’t make a sound — The cosmos do conspire So keep your matter next to mine Our minds they are our fires We are the stars who make the signs And all the symbol’s all but simple things What burns behind your eyes A burden beyond birds who sing Songs to make you cry — Present participle This is so difficult Why so indifferent Counting out sins again I thought you wanted the world to change A starry-eyed pantomime Making the best of time Suit and tie, get in line I thought you wanted the world to change Change (Change, change, change) x 3 Present participle This is so difficult Why so indifferent Counting out sins again I thought you wanted Change (Set us free, set us free, set us free) Change (I thought you wanted) Change (I thought you believed in) Change (Got any spare) Change (Penny for your thoughts) Change (I thought you believed in) Change (I thought you’d fight for) Change
