Please save me from myself
come and take me by the hand
and steer me toward happiness
that I may understand
the kindness in a lovers smile
how tender is their touch
what it feels like to be truly loved
is that honestly too much?

Perhaps I don’t rank high enough
or there’s some test I never passed
is it not enough to love someone
and to want that love to last?
To say so much with just a look
that words cannot convey
the depth of the emotions
that you rain on me each day

Instead I live life as a moth
against loves light I just collide
blinded by its beauty
yet I cannot get inside
Instead I circle endlessly
like the dog chasing his tail
while my wings grow ever weary
til the day this heart does fail.

What if there's no truth
or the truth just sounds like lies
would you recognise it anyway
see through its disguise

Would you trumpet its arrival
play a fanfare in its name
or would you sneak in quietly
like a thief avoiding shame

Have you lost sight of whats important?
In our greatest hour of need,
will you stand up and be counted,
or count the profits from your greed.

What happened to integrity
common sense and pride
Did you give them up by choice
or were they forfeit when you lied

So keep your silver, Judas
it matter not how much you give
The truth of whats behind you
is with what you now must live.

Today I wrote a list
a list about a friend
a list of all their good points
that seems to have no end

A list of all the ways
they bring happiness to me
A list that I can't show you
because then you too would see

You'd see that maybe just perhaps
they were more than just a friend
because the way in which they touch my life
it really has no end

I could tell you how they make me smile
by just the simplest word
and how they never make me
feel my voice has gone unheard

I could tell you how I think of them
with every miracle I see
and how I would give anything
to have them here with me

Each time my mouth is opened
their name is on my lips
and each time my eyes are closed
my hands are on their hips

Whenever skies are cloudy
they take away the rain
and I wish when they are hurting
that I could take their pain

Could it be they are my greatest friend
and that I in turn am theirs
Or could she be the one true love
the answer to my prayers

Look over here!
there's a reason to be scared.
Pay no attention to the truth
there's misdirection we've prepared

Forget the facts
national security's at risk
we'll just sidestep what you've read
after all, does it exist?

It's just a game
a little give, a little take
we didn't mean it quite like that
c'mon give us all a break

After all
you have given us your trust
and if think that we're so bad
you should hear what they say of us

Can you blame them?
