Lyrics

1. HAPPINESS IS EASY

Makes you feel much older
Sublime the blind parade

It wrecks me how they justify their acts of war
They assemble, they pray
Take good care of what the priests say
'After death it's so much fun'
Little sheep don't let your feet stray

Happiness is easy
Joy be written on the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love

Guilt upon their shoulders
How well the cause evades
Infecting your religions, claiming pacts
It's easy to shoulder the blame

Happiness is easy

Try to teach my children
To recognise excuse before it acts
From love & conviction to pray

Happiness is easy


2. I DON'T BELIEVE IN YOU

Now the fun is over
Where do words begin
I'm trying to find the path ahead
Any way you say it
The charade goes on
But your eyes won't see it
It's the same old song
'I don't believe you'

Promises so golden
Years have proved them wrong
I'm trying to leave some self respect
Any way you say it
Our decline goes on
But your pride won't heed it
It's the same old song
'I don't believe you'

And the way you play it
Is the way you want
Any way you sing it
It's the same old song
'I don't believe you'


3. LIFE'S WHAT YOU MAKE IT

Baby, life's what you make it
Can't escape it
Baby, yesterday's favourite
Don't you hate it

Baby, life's what you make it
Don't backdate it
Baby, Don't try to shade it
Beauty is naked

Baby, life's what you make it
Celebrate it
Anticipate it
Yesterday's faded
Nothing can change it
Life's what you make it


4. APRIL 5TH

Here she comes
Silent in her sound
Here she comes
Fresh upon the ground

Come gentle spring
Come at winter's end
Gone is the pallow from a promise that's nature's gift

Waiting for the colour of spring
Let me breathe
Let me breathe the colour of spring

Here she comes
Laughter in her kiss
Here she comes
Shame upon her lips

Come wanton spring, come
For birth you live
Youth takes it's bow before the summer the seasons bring

Waiting for the colour of spring

Let me breathe


5. LIVING IN ANOTHER WORLD

Better parted
I see people crying
Truth gets harder
There's no sense in lying

Help me find a way from this maze
I can't help myself

When I see tenderness before you left
That even breaking up was never meant
But only angels look before they tread

Better parted
I see people hiding
Speech gets harder
There's no sense in writing

Help me find a way from this maze
I'm living in another world to you
And I can't help myself

Did I see tenderness where you saw hell
Did I see angels in the hand I held
God only knows what kind of tale you'd tell


6. GIVE IT UP

From the place that I stand to the land that is openly free
Watching rivers run black by the trees that are vacant to greed

Give it up
Or tell me why I'm so wrong
Where does love come from
If you've sold your reasoning out

How can I learn if I don't understand what I see
If I'm giving this mess
Take a walk through a nightmare so real

Give it up
Or tell me why I'm so wrong

Where does luck come from
When you've never been without


7. CHAMELEON DAY

Only of the night & it's darkness am I calling
Only of the night
My relief in it's falling

Breathe on me, eclipse my mind
It's in some kind of disarray
Killing time, I cradle far

Chameleon days
Chameleon day


8. TIME IT'S TIME

Nobody knows how long
Rustling leaves unrhyme
Lullaby breeze unsung
Babel of dreams unwinds in memory

As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
And love is only sleeping
Wrapped in neglect
Time it's time to live

Kissing a grey garden
Shadow & shade
Sunlight treads softly

As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
Contempt is ever breeding
Trapped in itself
Time it's time to live

As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
The wicked and the weeping
Ramble or run
Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live for living

Now that it's over
Rest your head
