The Mask

Sometimes you talk to yourself while you are walking around
You know you're not crazy, you just like to rehearse
Like an actor in a play
Learn your lines on the page
You think that life is a stage
People ask you questions you don't know how to answer
You go think it over, and come back the next day
Every morning when you wake
Tie the mask to your face
Are you being erased?
With him you're a nymph, to mum and dad you're a saint
With friends you're a joker and with family you ain't
With strangers you gauge
The person you should create
Put on the right affectations
You wonder if you're starting to show through the cracks
Hope noone can see that you are trying to emulate
The way that they move
The way that they smile
The way that they cry
Aren't you tired of playing it safe and being so tame?
And tired of reading that script?
It's always the same
You've tried once or twice but you get too afraid
Whenever you go to lift the mask away
So to keep them at bay
You've learned what to say
You talk in cliches
You do what you need to
Or else they might see you
And then what would you do?
Aren't you tired of playing it safe and being so tame?
And tired of reading that script?
It's always the same
Tired, tired, tired, tired
Aren't you tired?
Aren't you tired?
Aren't you tired?
I know I am

Truth or Dare

There's something in the air
And I think we all know it's there
I can't believe I've found
Something so pretty and so rare
Like sapphires and rubies deep under the earth
And we're the only ones who know just what it's worth
We are the secret living in the attic
We can be friendly, we can be romantic
We can be taller than the Eureka
We can be bolder than permanent marker
I'm not supposed to stare
But I can't help it when you're near
Today has quite a glow
Is there a lightning storm tomorrow?
There is no rulebook for this affair
We're on the outside playing truth or dare
We are the secret living in the attic
We can be friendly, we can be romantic
We can be taller than the Eureka
We can be bolder than permanent marker
We could be Shakespeare, coded and poetic
Or spell it out so everybody gets it
We could be sweeter than a pavlova
Or you can stand there while I bowl you over
We are the secret pashing in the attic
We are the iceberg crashing the Titanic
We can be taller than the Eureka
And from up there we'll know just what it feels like
Hold me like waves in the sea

Palms of Strangers

Best not to dwell
He's gone, move on
Take this opportunity to see who you can be
Without him
Take a look around
Name the colours in the fruit bowl by the window
Hey, what's that sound?
It's the trains out of the station
You could go anywhere you want
There are so many things to care about
And though they may seem insignificant now
Just wait
You will find love in the palms of strangers
Oh, won't you take off your shades?
There are people that are trying to look in your eyes
Hey, by the way, there's a whole world to get to know!
And you could go anywhere you want
There are so many things to care about
And though they may seem insignificant now
Just wait
You will find love in the palms of strangers
You will find love in the hands of your friends
You will find love in the hands of your family
You will find love in the hands of your friends
You will find love
You will find love under every stone
That you take the time to turn

Breadcrumbs

You can't throw around those words
The ones that spin me off the Earth
It's like breadcrumbs to a bird
You will learn
That you can't bless me with your pain
And never tell me why it came
I don't know how else to explain
Could I show you the way?
Could I show you my way?
You can't hang your head so low
That the flowers in you no longer grow
I would know
Is it time now to lift up the rug
Where you've hidden your feelings from everyone?
In my world, this is how it's done
And it's something I call love
