Time to Talk

C#m
It’s safer to ignore
Easier to hide
I don’t understand
The feelings I have inside
Walls closing in
And the heartbeat on the rise
Daily confrontation
Need to keep up the disguise
F#m
Days turn to weeks turn to years
C#m
Looking for a path through the tears
Chorus
E
Cos They say it’s time to talk but no one listens
E A
Shouting from the roof but no one hears
A B
It takes all of my strength it’s the condition
B E
To battle all the demons and the fears
I recognise that i
Can’t do this on my own
It terrifies me
And I can’t pick up the phone
Questions I can’t answer
Things I cannot say
How to break the barrier
Find another way

Golden rays
Holidays
Seem so far
Away
Daily grind
Numbs the mind
Slowly wears you
Down
Drowning
You
Turning
Blue
Sky of blue
Warming you
Seem so far
Away
Daily chores
Clogs the pores
Slowly wears you
Down
Drowning
You
Turning
Blue

Edinburgh

Sitting on a train to Edinburgh
As expected all of life is here
Sitting on a train to Edinburgh
There are People from the front to rear
Children running up and down dropping crisps
Girl describes her one night stand
Sitting on a train to Edinburgh
Hope the weekend goes as planned
Sitting on a train to Edinburgh
headphones on and they don't say word
Sitting on a train to Edinburgh
Ignoring everyone it's absurd
10 lads have had a drink it's just gone 9
Shirts say they're on Jason's stag
Sitting on a train to Edinburgh
It is looking like the journey will drag
Sitting on a train to Edinburgh
Paper bag with cardboard cup
Sitting on a train to Edinburgh
Crinkled sandwich and a 7up
From tshirt to tie, suit to shorts
Salesman bigging up on the phone
Sitting on a train to Edinburgh
On second thoughts we should've flown

Forgotten

Are you out there
Can you hear me
Are you listening
Can you spare the money
Do you have the time
Am I just a entry in your data line
Do you know how hard it was for me to make the call
Does it really matter to you at all
Government statistics spun stretched to a fine thread
Wont be long before it snaps
Are you out there
Can you hear me
Are you listening
Can you spare the money
Do you have the time
Am I just a entry in your data line

City of Two Tales
02:50
|
|||
|
n a northern city a city of two tales
You can feel the history seeping through the walls
Pouring down the granite blocks
The balustrade and chimney tops
A menu from every corner of the globe (planet)
Prada, Gucci and Gordon Bennet
Buildings dripping with history and charm
The throng of tourists greasing the palm
Might be the birthplace of Harry Potter
But there’s things you can’t see
Or don’t wanna
There’s a man in the doorway with the world at his feet
He’s got it in a plastic bag it’s all he can keep
A life wrecked by beer and brown powder
He’s 32 but looks so much older
Asks for some change to buy a cup of tea
There but by the grace of god goes you and goes me.
The woman asleep slumped in a passageway
People walk past don’t give her the time of day
Carrier bags filled with wishes and dreams
We cannot hear the shouts and the screams
Cos there’s an under current creeping through
The 3rd class citizens the forgotten few
Might be the birthplace of Harry Potter
But there’s things you can’t see

Waterhole
01:48
|
|||
|
There's 2 types of people in the world
No wait
There's 3 types of people in the world
No wait
There's 4 types of people I give up
Everyone is different
We don't see things the same
What you think is reasonable
Might really cause me pain
please don't poison the waterhole
With your pointed words and the vitriol
please don't poison the waterhole
With your veiled threats and the vitriol
Cos we'll all die
Only takes a minute
To make the bubble burst
You can ruin it for ever
With a nasty misplaced verse

Waters Edge
02:11
|
|||
|
Come to the waters edge
Here you will find the truth reflected
Come to the waters edge
Bearing your soul and thoughts collected
We contemplate and validate the actions that we take everyday
Come to to the waters edge
all of your past can now be measured
Come to the waters edge
Memories lost and those we treasured
We contemplate and validate the actions that we take everyday
Come to the waters edge

Happy Days
02:49
|
|||
|
The sun is shining and the sky is clear and blue
There's not a cloud to spoil the view
The world is out there and it is waiting just for you
Go do the best that you can do
We know that sometimes its get scary
do not let it get to you
The sun is shining and the sky is clear and blue
We’ll hold your hand to help you through

Behind the glass
02:34
|
|||
|
I cannot feel the wind on my face
I cannot feel the sun
Behind the window my world seems out of place
It's so grey I'm the only one
I know the answers are here for me to see if only i could open my eyes
I don’t know how to make it through the day
I cannot be the only one
I cannot hear the crashing of the sea
I cannot see the blue
Four walls contain and suffocate me
What is left for me to do
I know the answers are here for me to see if only i could open my eyes
I don’t know how to make it through the day
I cannot be the only one

The Truth
03:49
|

If you want to make a change you have to take a stand
You cant keep it to your self you have to show your hand
They control the media to poison the masses to stop us from seeing the truth
They control the media to poison the masses so open your eyes see the truth
If you want to live in peace and harmony take a stand
Educate dont procrastinate you have to show your hand
They control the media to poison the masses to stop us from seeing the truth
They control the media to poison the masses so open your eyes see the truth
Be prepared cos you're the one who has to take a stand
Shout out loud ignore the crowd you have to show your hand
They control the media to poison the masses to stop us from seeing the truth
They control the media to poison the masses to stop us from seeing the truth
They control the media to poison the masses to stop us from seeing the truth
They control the media to poison the masses to stop us from seeing the truth
They control the media to poison the masses to stop us from seeing the truth
They control the media to poison the masses to stop us from seeing the truth
They control the media to poison the masses to stop us from seeing the truth
They control the media to poison the masses so open your eyes see the truth

Negativity Trap
02:23
|
|||
|
You may not realise how negativity spreads
like wild fire
you may not realise how your words cut to the bone
kill desire
Why do yo bring me down
And tell me can't do something new
Why do yo bring me down
And tell me can't do something new
I go from positive to negative In a hole
Ina flash
I go from positive to crawling round in the dirt
And I crash

The Problem
02:34
|
|||
|
I don’t see what the problem is
I don’t see what the problem is
Your life is so easy compared to
what mine was like at your age
no work or to fend for yourself
everything served on a plate
So
I don’t see what the problem is
I don’t see what the problem is
You have the weight of the world
Carried round in your pocket
Living your life through the eyes of the masses
never here in the real world
So
I don’t see what the problem is
I don’t see what the problem is
But the real issue is
It is all on the inside
Bottled up like an old wooden boat
scars that heal but cannot be seen
from the outside
I cant see what the problem is

I am gonna pay
02:50
|
|||
|
The sky is blue
there’s not a cloud to spoil the view
if only you were
with me
How long before we return to normality
How long i am gonna pay
How long before we return to normality
How long i am gonna pay
The sun is out
Theres some much here to be glad about
If only you were
with me

Ignorance
01:22
|
|||
|
The consequence of ignorance
Is played out in the tabloid headline
People make their mind up based
on what they read on their timeline
we don’t need to check the facts
its in a meme it must be true
the sad fact is if its to change
we all reliant on you
The consequence of ignorance
Is played out in the tabloid headline
Hysteria is whipped up
its as if mankind stepped on a landline
we don’t need to check the facts
its in a meme it must be true
the sad fact is if its to change
the whole world is reliant on you

Jules Bryant England, UK
As a sound artist I work with a wide range of instruments and sound sources. My work could be described as minimalist, using
simple structures and effects to draw out and uncover interesting features within. The influence of extra-musical sources is a common feature of much of my work.
