He wanted to be minister
And pass laws quite sinister
But nobody would ever elect him.
So, he stood for the seat
And risked his defeat
And let all the people reject him.

But he was the very one
Who in the end won
When the opposition underestimated.
So, the county was undone
When the mountebank won
And the country ended up decimated.

The minister made a war
That was tried once before
And it came to a much worse end.
The country went broke
Except for any bloke
That could be called the minister’s friend.

As always is with war
The few that forbore
And stayed back home made billions.
They country suffered loss
And bore all of war’s cost.
But not so the minister’s minions.

The way politics plays out
Even when there is no doubt
And a minister is a total disaster.
The party he commanded then
Refused to abandon him
And used lies to help bear him out.

When the ruckus was done
The country was undone
But somehow the minister escaped jail.
It’s a sad tale to relate
That although he wasn’t great
His county ended up making his bail.

Every time you held my hand
The skeletons in our closets would dance
Round and round and round they'd go
It was the only thing that let me know

I was real

Where are you now that I need you the most?
I miss the days when we were so close
There isn't a moment that you're not on my mind
I think about you endlessly
Day and night

I know it's selfish of me
You're probably happy now
But the noise in my head is just so loud
It's screaming at me incessantly
And the humming static won't let me be
But when you were here with me
My demons lurked silently

Now you're gone and everything's wrong
I barely have the strength to keep holding on
I'd do anything to have one more day
And I'm so sorry for whatever I did to make you go away

Tonight let's not talk about me
Tonight let's not talk about you
Tonight let's not talk about all the things
That we've put each other through

I'm weary of hearing my own voice
Though I'll never be weary of yours
But tonight let's talk in a different way
Let's talk without using words

Write a song along my skin
In fluttering fingertips its written in
To be with you once again
Is to drown in a sea of sin

Tonight let's not talk
I have nothing else to say
But please just be silent with me
Please just stay

I missed you yesterday
I missed you today
And tomorrow's gonna be the same old way

I'm not tired
But I say I am

Because it's easier that way

And eventually
My eyes are droopy
And my mind is engulfed
In a haze of fatigue
And all that i can think of
Is my warm bed
And a cup of tea

I've become tiredness
And tiredness has become me
Because I hide behind sleepiness
It makes life easy

Let's set sail
To a world unknown
Let's say goodbye
To the people we know
I won't be sad
Because I'll know
Wherever you are
Is where I'll call home
