Sugar laden smile
Disguise decay
Friendly honest eyes
That will betray
The perfect exterior
That you display
Beneath the veneer a coward
Hides away
He's a hostage
Inside a tiny spineless mind
Naysayer it's yourself
You`ll never find
He's a hostage
Inside a tiny spineless mind
Naysayer it's yourself
You`ll never find
Biting thumbs
And spitting nails at everyone
Character assassin
On the run
Those toxic words assemble
Upon your tongue
Deceit and lies are bullets
For your gun
Naysayer
When will will you say yes
Naysayer
When will will you say yes
Naysayer
When will will you say yes
Naysayer
When will will you say yes
He's a hostage
Inside a tiny spineless mind
Naysayer it's yourself
You`ll never find
He's a hostage
Inside a tiny spineless mind
Naysayer it's yourself
You`ll never find
Naysayer it's yourself
You`ll never find
Naysayer it's yourself
You`ll never find
Naysayer it's yourself
You`ll never find

I tried
Oh I tried to comprehend
The relevance of your
Barbed wire reaction
C`est la vie
C`est la vie
You never knew
Because you just presumed
This flower just
Exploded into bloom
But you couldn't see
The optimistic shades of melancholy
You couldn't see
The optimistic shades of
melancholy
Still
Oh still you swipe away
Unable to forgive
Foolish mistakes of yesterday
Deja Vu
Deja Vu
You slated me
Heaped the blame on me
Berated me
Asphyxiated me
But you couldn't break free
From the optimistic shades of melancholy
You couldn't break free
From the optimistic shades of
melancholy
You couldn't see
The optimistic shades of melancholy
You couldn't see
The optimistic shades of
melancholy
Hokey pokey mad manic monkey
Riding high up on my back
Dogmatic clown
Riding high up on horseback

You projected onto me
This fascinating chemistry
I knew that you were here to carry me home
You spoke to me with clarity
I was struck by your humility
You redefined my mind with a fine tooth comb
Yeah you changed
Rearranged
Made this stranger but stronger
Took my finger
Off the trigger
Made me want to linger…
Longer
Many years down the line
Your logic stood the test of time
The cracks never appeared in your philosophy
Everyday's another test
It's always a work in progress
You wrenched my shattered soul
From the jaws of catastrophe
Tears of relief that make no sound
Your impact on me was quite profound
Wisdom that you poured all over me
Walter you held the key to my psyche
Yeah you changed
Rearranged
Made this stranger but stronger
Took my finger
Off the trigger
Made me want to linger…
Longer

No one seems to listen anymore
Spoken words lay dormant on the floor
Farcical to watch you pretend
Broken words are difficult to mend
You breathe you fool but you no longer live
Swept away
You've got nothing left to give
Self absorbed
Your mind is hollow dead
No attention span inside your head
Vacant to the point of deep decay
Phoney fake cocooned in disarray
You breathe my friend but you no longer live
Swept away
You've got nothing left to give
You breathe my friend but you no longer live
Swept away
You've got nothing left to give
Confusion disappears
Abundant words cascade into your ears
Take time to listen
Engage in conversation
You'll start to show respect
Your once broken soul connects and understands
Finally you see
Sudden realisation
The magnitude of humble conversation
You breathe my love
Finally you'll live
Your spirits fly
You've got so much left to give
