ALL IN MY HEAD
I want to be independent but how do I cope?
is maturity from birth or is it taught?
do you itch to grow old but not to grow up?
do you have to work hard, or not hard enough?
why do adults have all the power,
they don't seem to understand.
I have my own voice,
but I need help to stand.
why do adults set all the rules,
then break them themselves,
then treat us like we're the fools,
when they messed up themselves.
sixteen in the big wide world,
being thrown in the deep end,
but I still feel like a girl.
Is it education or experience?
who says our age has no intelligence?
eighteen and I can legally vote,
I understand nothing of the sort.
maturity is it all in my head?
doesn't matter how many books I've read.
twenty one a silly milestone,
being told to know better -
you're not a child anymore
is it all in your head?
is it all in my head?

MOONCHILD
I am a glimpse of your existence
I am suspended in time
I am silent like the darkness
I suffocate from emptiness
My footsteps are shadows hanging
As soft velvet silhouettes
To you, so bare and barren
Not seeing glowing light
I breathe towards your conscience, atmosphere of your mind
Conquering cold craters
To reach the surface of mankind
To reach the surface
To reach the surface
To reach the surface
To reach the surface
To reach the surface of mankind

Can You See Me

Can you see me
the sun is shining
my head is aching
my heart is breaking like shattered broken glass
but you don't see me and how I'm feeling
I'm like a painting that's propped behind the door
I see you smiling
it makes me feel sad
you played with my mind
and you don't even care
I think I'm fading like a distant memory
like a dreary shadow too scared to disappear
strong enough to hold my head up
carry my courage instead of giving up
shining brighter than the sun today
forgive and forget
untrusted enemies
no regrets distant memories
shining brighter than the sun today
not giving up no way
my strength is growing
my power's flowing
like a warm wind blowing
bubbles through the air
I'm glad your smiling
coz my tears are drying
my spirits flying
releasing from my heart
strong enough to hold my head up
carry my courage instead of giving up
shining brighter than the sun today
forgive and forget
untrusted enemies
no regrets, distant memories
shining brighter than the sun today
not giving up no way
the sun is shining
my heart is healing
coz now I'm feeling
like this is a fresh new start

It’s your songs of hopes and regrets
That connected with
So many people
But rarely ordinary people

ARTICLE 29
a child defined as 18 or under
a system that makes a guaranteed blunder
a child leaves school full of awe and wonder
for what?
A debt? A mistake?
it hits home like thunder
15 years of going into a building
of education exams homework and friend making
in a life of sleep eat work and play
is there any time left in the day
to wonder -
why does life work this way?
What do I want from life?
You start a new course full of excitement and hope
or a brand new job earning money to cope
now you're three weeks in but all is not well
any doubts you have you're trying to quell
'opportunity' 'investment' -
surely it will help in future?
But four weeks later you start to fear
for where you are now you don't want to be near
you desired the job you saw on tv
or took a quick glance and thought
that one's for me
where do you go from here?
Can you afford a false start?
How about a gap year? You muse
surely that is something you'd use?
You take time out to explore the world
but that's exactly it – the world
even then you don't explore
what's on your own doorstep
they say education will solve
humanities problems
access to the best education is
limited to the inexperienced and unworldly child
surely 25 is a better view point to decide
your future -
more experience less wasteful mature yet still young
don't educate tomorrow's future
educate today and create a better now

Meet Me At The Fair

MEET ME AT THE FAIR
Lights spinning round
Pulling me in
A false sense of freedom
Where to begin?
Society’s a maze
Where view can distort
Am I fat? Am I thin?
Am I tall? Am I short?
Will you meet me at the fair?
I’ll be waiting for you there
On life’s trapeze up in the air
Will you meet me at the fair?
A life full of promise
Success and rewards
With jester investors
Controlling your chords
We’re trapped in a cycle
Of short thrills and screams
Going round and around
Riding ghost train dreams
Will you meet me at the fair?
I’ll be waiting for you there
On life’s trapeze up in the air
Will you meet me at the fair?
Pushed on by the master
Going faster and faster
We’re waltzing through time
But dying with laughter
No jobs to be had
With the world helter-skelter
It’s a one way trip down
So start looking for shelter
The sound of experience
With mixed imperfections
Is calling us in
From every direction
You’ve got no choice
And there’s nowhere to hide
When you’re growing up facing
A roller coaster ride
Will you meet me at the fair?
I’ll be waiting for you there
On life’s trapeze up in the air
Will you meet me at the fair?

I Wish I Knew Then

I WISH I KNEW THEN
I wish I knew then, what I know now
my head is held high
coz I've been down
I've got friends now
and it feels right
I should have held on from the inside
I liked it how we laughed at life
sitting in school, drinking wine
teachers pulling us aside
falling over the clown inside
I wish I knew then, what I know now
my head is held high
coz I've been down
I've got friends now
and it feels right
I should of held on from the inside
drawing on walls and climbing doors
sent to bed would rather not instead
if only life had been so great
don't wanna wake, as I feel so safe
I wish I knew then what I know now
my head is held high
coz I've been down
I've got friends now
and it feels right
I should have held on from the inside
this pain from the past
is always gonna last
from being tortured to pleasured
to being knocked on my ass
I'm stood here today to say
to those who can relate
move on, let go don't hesitate
