ARE YOU HAPPY NOW ? how much is there left to say ? could be a recipe for disaster either way am i just repeating feelings that i've voiced before ? last thing i want is to bore apparitions form for me a broken soul in sling and plaster known to see you were cruel so cynical cold to touch so clinical it's no wonder i eloped from you so i reach deep down i won't drown illustrations drawn i was born you're asleep and the TV is on door is closed question how are you happy now ? want something done do it yourself never leave it in the hands of strangers for it's your wealth message sent goes straight to spam better that than live the sham that was everything we tried so i reach deep down i won't drown illustrations drawn i was born you're asleep and the TV's on door is closed so i suppose you are happy now are you happy now ?

TRILOGY known this guy for 20 years we go back a long way; fears had slowed me to a snail's pace he stood by, he kept his place push and shove til i'd get my way i was birthing true dismay but still he'd surface, will me forward hoping that i'd paddle shoreward part one lived, it was to end like the sequel for my friend was saddened to be witness to my abandoned life i'd knew he's my brother will always be i hold his presence to my heart eternally it's so rare when you can share then a trust is earned and returned yes my friend i relate this truth i'm a better man because of you we talk of our trilogy it was serendipity that my friend had returned just prior for my rebirth from the fire after all those stubborn years he was there, part of the cheers that met me when my soul emerged for so long it was submerged he knows truly who i am on the same page we can cram a bible thickness of emotions get togethers, breed promotions for our unique camaraderie he's my brother will always be i hold his presence to my heart eternally it's so rare when you can share then a trust is earned and returned yes my friend i relate this truth i'm a better man because of you there was part one and part two now the trilogy continues so let's grow old together

IT SUITS YOU Words are useless if you don't believe in their worth to hold and reprieve in one fell swoop a sentence can change lives we lead and help to arrange one last kiss returned to me after I lovingly leant on your knee two halfs are making one soul believe in yourself no one else it suits you ignore the bribes and just be yourself you know how they say actions far outweigh lip service running and God you 've paid a fortune in promises not kept but delayed now you can act on em all and parade one last kiss returned to me after I lovingly leant on your knee two halfs are making one soul believe in yourself no one else it suits you ignore the bribes and just be yourself implore the rights you know that you've felt ignore the bribes and just be yourself ignore the bribes and just be yourself

SOMETHING SHOW FOR IT No sleep waiting for inspection Scent flys to avoid detection i'm so high need no protection from a vicious tongue swept, polished up the bedside smashed door they might find i can't hide remnant from that devil inside they can say anything saint or sinner beginner knowing what to do passed the time sliced with knife now everyday there's something to show wondrous glow catch sunrise never used to be that way everyday there's something to show if you've got to something to say say it countdown to the final moment heroe versus old opponent instructed by this new component shielded jacket worn courtroom bible sworn offender revolving door they're back they tender no apology to victims run down lives erased slap wrist it's a disgrace we admit we're mad passed the time sliced with knife now everyday there's something to show wondrous glow catch sunrise never used to be that way everyday there's something to show if you've got to something to say say it i will always have an opponent circumvent their rapid moment that subtracts but adds component i can stash it away all the time slice with knife everyday there's something to show wondrous glow catch sunrise never used to be that way everyday there's something to show if you've got to something to say say it there's something to show for it wait a minute get it grip it devil skin it spend a minute give a shit it will begin it

20/20 hindsight hindsight when you have it explains a torchlight navigating terrains that dictated all we hated and what we wore shot put over fence those neckties that strangled short of breath we realize predilection was our restriction so here i am a year cornered foreign climes it's working so i won't try to fix a thing It's about time Road signs detour shoves you away 4 seasons in an hour they'd play never make up up all our mistakes and so here i am a year cornered foreign climes it's working so i won't try to fix a thing i know what's mine what for i know i can bequeath you more i might die but at least i know what's living these veins blood course fast through my system notched up list of to-do's persistance i won't be prey for your insistence i'll follow go that long distance to seas you should know by now i am happy hindsight is a wonderful thing it grows like autumn in spring all that i need is sister and father and mother won't you come to me come along with me won't you come to me follow me follow

GUTLESS FUCK you’re tough in fives assault the lives (of innocents) king hit pure pride your cowardly blow from behind robs a life a blind when you’re on your own you’re mute don’t scorn (you shrink in size) and maybe then you comprehend what it might to be wise vandalized all that’s right erased their dreams you flew arrived had set your sight (on a simple man) who had retired but had come back to release his sounds and life then on Monday you took your gun (and blew him away) and the death he died was the one you tried years befre so rot! you corpse vandalized all that’s right erased their dreams a concience it seems evades you and all you do just satisfy your selfish life this song could go on the weight of which is on targeted precise to cut you down widowed wife still mourns her child grown is stalled emotionally he’s raw you’re going down you fucking clown i could keep up describing waste(s) (who’ve shed the blood) not from themself instead they took it upon themselves and emptied shells yes they’re bold in fives pack of gutless fucks (all they do is despise) don’t give a shit they’ll gladly hit you or me will never see vandalized all that’s right erased their dreams a concience it seems evades you and all you do just satisfy their selfish life

born a renegade toughest streets in town and his mind he made straight up if it couldn't be done didn't believe a word are you ready to rock that's what the people heard Vagabond of the western world orphaned shades of blue recalled his life his past and he wrote it down from chinatown and dublin beyond my boy i love his mam in song a killer on the loose broken dreams he would never choose and all the lonely hearts and the sugar blues thunder and lightning it was exciting when he pointed his bass at you live and dangerous four twin guitars that would always pour whiskey from the jar a little sha la la watch him dance in the moonlight a cowboy song and the room'd ignite johnny the fox an emerald stone when he played you were never alone the black rose when he said the boys were back in town that bar and grill is where they would be found he was the rocker! no alibi fight or fall he aimed his soul to the sky the black rose we're still in love with you a king whose call still sings it true but there's still your vibe and we all unite to celebrate uplift elate now a yellow pearl means another world dedication in the street from round the world the people meet to lay a rose to read your prose there you stand guitar in hand forever set off Grafton street watch him dance in the moonlight a cowboy song and the room'd ignite johnny the fox an emerald stone when he played you were never alone the black rose when he said the boys were back in town that bar and grill you knew they'd be found he was the rocker! no alibi fight or fall he aimed his soul to the sky the black rose
