Low

Have you ever been lost
Floating on the ground
Like a fading frost
You've fallen asleep
Next to your bed
And you feel so low
Oh they've stolen your pride
Stand up while your conscience sits aside
I've made up my mind
Half of the time and I feel so low

Stay and hijack the hurt
I feel so low I feel so high
Take a look inside my mind

If the object was clear
There wouldn't be a point
Only godless fear
By the end of July
I wonder will I still feel so low
Oh I am host to a guide
Moving in time
And falling in line
I've made up my mind
The papers are signed
And I feel so low

Stay and hijack the hurt
I feel so low I feel so high
Take a look inside my mind

Once a lover
Never suffer
So far away from here
Feeling hollow
Head to toe so low

Stay and hijack the hurt
I feel so low I feel so high
Take a look inside my mind

All Across The World

Underneath the shelf cracks appear in thick enamel
In this laps excuse for wasting time
I wait for signals shooting stars
I'd scrape through every branch
Coz I need to come down

Underneath the home
I lived in I was a page in someone's book
And know one asked me why
The page was fifteen stories high
I'm underneath that home wondering why

All across the world
There are things we need to forget and forgive
Sometimes we have to try and shed the damage we don't need
Oh justice shake your head
I'm wasting my time

We can break this drought
Wanna tell ya I love ya I need ya in the night
Sometimes I get so full
I wanna tell ya I'm feeling alright
I'm shaken to the bone
And on my way home

Adjust an omen at the door
Singing baby wont you please get a hold without it
And while you sit there on the phone tell me baby
I'm a liar you don't seem to care what I care about and baby it's a shame
To be wasted

All across the world
There are things we need to forget and forgive
Sometimes we have to try and shed the damage we don't need
Oh justice shake your head
I'm on my way home

Insomnia

Tomorrow will be another part of yesterday
And yesterday will be another part of the day before

Wait, I hear another song insomnia
About the days I wasn't tired
And doing that "fun retro look"

I stay awake for days
I stay awake for days
But I'd sit awake in daze anyway
I'm a maze of chains

Hey don't use the term accommodation
I won't be there for that and that will never be there for me

And I need to get some sleep slash resolution
About the days I wasn't tired
And doing that "fun retro thing"

I stay awake for days
I stay awake for days
But I'd sit awake in daze anyway
I'm a maze of chains

Over in the corner of a circle
I sleep behind this bedroom
I see "fun retro look"
Dine behind a suitcase in an empty room
It's time to leave millions behind
Hey that's what I took from retro look

I stay awake for days
I stay awake for days
But I'd sit awake in daze anyway
I'm a maze of chains

Mind reader

I heard a hole in the silence
I saw a crack in the plan but I got lazy ways
You're not a private detective take off your telephone shoes
My thoughts going out of phase
And these are the better days

Still it seems funny
Sticking like honey
Wrote my own article
Now I'm hummin'
She takes pictures through my lazy eyes
And I'm dreamin' girl it's your money

When we're alone and out drivin' ourselves around all the bends
She's got crazy ways
And I'm all woo ooh

Don't know what you want
Don't know what you want
No I'm not a mind reader baby come on

Don't know what you want
Don't know what you want
No I'm not a mind reader baby

I got addictive dependent
I got a cold change of heart
But I got lazy ways
We're all woo ooh

Don't know what you want
Don't know what you want
No I'm not a mind reader baby come on

Don't know what you want
Don't know what you want
No I'm not a mind reader
Mind reader
Mind reader baby come on

The Man That Knew Too Much

There was a man that knew too much
With a panic attic mind but a chance to numb
His golden touch to ignore the will of time
Had me struck down open to the fact
I was standing in a line with a broken occupation on my back

Time is not a moment we're letting slip away
There's nothing left to say it's changing every day
The way I'm thinking in different shades of grey
It's not enough to say that this is my love

He had the anti midas touch
Temporary state of mind
But a chance to die enhances growth
Now I'm trembling all the time
Stumble round making faces on the scene
Scene what what
Stumble round make your faces on your own

Time is not a moment we're letting slip away
There's nothing left to say it's changing every day
The way I'm thinking in different shades of grey
It's not enough to say that this is my love

I'm not your mocking bird
That sings your cellar song
She got a paper run
You're compensated

Can we all gather round on the scene
Can we all move around on our own
Are ya a mover shaker all alone

Time is not a moment we're letting slip away
There's nothing left to say it's changing every day
The way I'm thinking in different shades of grey
It's not enough to say
Time is not a moment we're letting slip away
There's nothing left to say but this is my love

I'm not your mocking bird
That sings your cellar song
She got a paper run to write your letters wrong

Those Thieving Birds (Part 1)/Those Thieving Birds (Part 2)

(part 1)
Those thieving birds
Hang strung from an empty nest
This swan plagued pond
Foresaken and under whelmed
Those leaving words
Hang strong from an emptiness
Hang strong from an emptiness
Those thieving birds
Hang strung from an empty nest
(Part2)
Lonely in life
Dead or alive
If the truth had incursions
No more goodbyes
No more big lies
If the truth had versions
As long as you and I are together
I'll hold onto the jewellery
Like staple strapped clenched fist and tongs

Hang strung from an empty nest
Those thieving birds
Hang strung from an empty nest

If You Keep Losing Sleep

If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
If you keep losing me you're gonna be bored
If you're up chimney sweep under rubble covers
If you keep counting sheep and being adored

You're a tombstone in the mud
Playing twister in a bubble again
I need a breath a wind so pure
To dry up the mud over me
To be reborn not born again
Erase my regret from the start
Shot the model
Flaking temporary skin you're no burden
Such reduction
Such seductive silent wine hop scotch trigger

If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
If you keep losing me are you gunna be
If you're up chimney sweep under rubble covers
If you keep losing me

You're a tombstone in the mud
Playing twister in a bubble again
If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
If you keep losing me you're gonna be
If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
If you keep losing me

Straight Lines

Breathing from a hole in my lung
I had no one
But faces in front of me
Racing through the void in my head
To find traces of a good luck academy

Sparks ignite and trade them for thought
About no one
And nothing in particular
Washed the sickened socket and drove
Resent nothing
There's good will inside of me

Wake me up low with a fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line

Something I will never forget
I felt desperate
And stuck to the marrow
Invisible to everyone else
I'm a sex change
And a damsel with no heroine

Wake me up low with a fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line

I don't need no time to say
There's no changing yesterday
If we keep talking and
I keep walking in straight lines

Wake me up low with a fever
Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening
Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning
Walking in a straight line
Lately I'm a desperate believer
But walking in a straight line

suicidal dreams

I dream about, how its going to end,
Approaching me quickly,
Leaving a life of fear,
I only want my mind to be clear,
People, making fun of me,
For no reason but jealousy,
I fantasise about my death,
Ill kill myself from holding my breath,

My suicidal dream,
Voices telling me what to do,
My suicidal dream,
Im sure you will get yours too,

Help me, comfort me,
Stop me from feeling what Im feeling now,
The rope is here,
Now Ill find a use,
Ill kill myself,
Ill put my head in a noose,

My suicidal dream,
Voices telling me what to do,
My suicidal dream,
Im sure you will get yours too,

Dreamin about my death, dream,
Suicidal, suicidal, suicidal dream,
Im suicidal,
Suicidal dream,

Ana's Song (Open Fire)

Please die, Ana
For as long as you're here, We're not
You make the sound of laughter
And sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now, somehow
And I need you now, somehow

Open fire
On my needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire
On my knees desires
What I need from you

Imagine pageant
In my head
The flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film
And I need you now, somehow
And I need you now, somehow

Open fire
On my needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire
On my knees desires
What I need from you

And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an anorexia life

Open fire
On my needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire
On my knees desires
What I need from you

Open fire
On my knees desire

Open fire
On my needs designed
On my knees for you

Miss you love

Millionaire say
Got a big shot deal
And thrown it all away but
But Im not too sure
How Im supposed to feel
Or what Im supposed to say

But Im not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day
And I miss you love

Make room for the prey
cause Im coming in
With what I wanna say but
Its gonna hurt
And I love the pain
A breeding ground for hate but...

Im not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
Ive no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
Im supposed to love you back

Its just a fad
Part of the teenage angst brigade and
Im not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
Ive no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

Remember two days
Ive no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
Im supposed to love you back

The Graetest View

Youre the analyst
The fungus in my milk
When you want no one
And you've got someone

Through the wind you crawl
And laugh at burning dunes
When no one else will ever see

Now that you know why you feel like you do
Their turning their head
Whilst they wait for no one
And finally i know
Why you feel like letting go

Im watching you watch over me
and i've got the greatest view from here
im watching you watch over me
and i've got the greatest view from here


copyright 2001 Daniel Johns
mistakes dont mean a thing
if you dont regret them
so pack your tactic toes for the winter
chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin
no one else will ever see

Im watching you watch over me
and i've got the greatest view from here
im watching you watch over me
and i've got the greatest view from here


Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head
whilst they wait For no one
And finally I know why I feel like you're letting go

I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
The greatest view from here
The greatest view

Reflections Of A Sound

In the sun we are found to be
Reflections of a sound

I know it's been far too long in stormy weather
My arrested hope won't choke forever
Like a memory I needed never

We walk wrapped in thought
Some are vacant some have grown too short
It's the only thing I've ever had that keeps me lonely

In the sun we are found to be
Reflections of a sound
When nobody is around

Come down from the waist of time
Feel so empty when I feel so fine
Starting over we could change this light shadow sober

I've been waiting for far too long
Let's stick together
Coz you're keeping me warm but it's a lonely setting sun

I wait so long now my head is full of pressure
I need time to cure my mind
It's like a loop that lasts forever

I've been waiting for far too long
Let's stick together
Coz you're keeping me warm but it's a lonely setting sun

In the sun we are found to be
Reflections of a sound
For nobody

Waiting All Day

I took advantage
Of a straight believing town
That tore the bandage
And said look who's bleeding now
Are you listening or are you faithless like the others
Long days are almost here
Faded signs for you

I'll be waiting all day
I've be waiting all year
For you it's true
He's been beaten
Might have brought it on himself
So he stopped reading
Every book on mental health
But alls not lost in this tangle like no other

Long days are almost here
Faded signs for you
I'll be waiting all day
I've be waiting all year
For you it's true

Take this dose and go
Whiskey warm September
The faded sign will show
That he still remembers

Long days are almost here
Faded signs for you
I'll be waiting all day
I've be waiting all year
For you it's true

Waiting all day
Waiting all year

I'll be waiting all day
I'll be waiting all year
