lyrics
________________________________________
Some thoughts come easy, whilst other thoughts are difficult to grasp,
Existing in a misting of a past no longer there to ask,
And that’s been a tough old cookie to munch on, no easy snack,
And that’s exactly the path I need to walk, this is no easy task
And taken gladly? Sack that, it’s been a monstrous ask,
The monster’s chat attempts to drag us back and keep us under wraps
And so with that, and armed with nothing more than soreness, apt
It’s time to take the sauna, feel the heat and meet the pauper that
the prince is gonna transform from, It’s gonna be sitting in awesome,
We’ve gotta be willing to enter the feeling we’ve all been avoiding - it’s sore, son,
The feeling’s really raw, it reels us in and really stalls,
We’ve got to feel it all to feel the realness underneath the boards
And this is bitter sweet, it’s true, you only really get to do the things you want to do once you have worked and broken through
The barriers you’ve unwittingly built, time to rebuild with easy access
With practise we’ll smash this.
________________________________________
Things, seem sometimes that they might drag you right down despite all the effort you’ve tried to rely on what’s hiding inside but no dice this is why you must try to revise and realise it’s your life and the strife you’ve survived just provides a life line to your pride it’s inside no reprise so take flight, now take flight
________________________________________
And I’m sitting here resigned to the fact that there’s no way back, and there hasn’t been for donkeys, If it hadn’t been for some, these words would never have come, would never have seen the sun we dance upon, romanced under the falling sun, but falling has been stalling for some,
Self included - very much so, so much so that growth shows no showboat, no float, no hope, and no coping,
So here’s hoping, here’s to all the things that hide within, the elements we fear have sinned, and elephants in the rooms we’re in,
Time to tip the cap, invite them in with welcome mats, acknowledging the help they’ve gladly given to resolve some older pain I’ve had, But now it’s time to take control of that, these reigns have had enough of being automatically trained -
now the trainer’s back it’s time to don the trainer’s hat - get training lad!
This train of thought has left the station fully packed - not going back,
So, with many thanks, whilst dropping off this merry angst,
Alighted off at Jodrell Bank to glance at what the solar system has to add.
