I am Ok now Doctor...

Life is a magical journey and dreams do come true.  This song is about traveling through life and picking up joy.

Dreams

Take what you want from me, girl.
I've never had anything that I, I couldn't give.
Just leave me some space to breathe, girl.
Never had the space before in which to live.

Don't save yourself for me, girl. 
Don't waste it all tonight.

Take me as I am, girl.
With enough left for a few pints, I'll be alright. 
Just give me a small piece, girl, 
I'm not expecting miracles, s'alright

Don't save yourself for me, girl.
Don't go all in tonight. 

Take the lot and walk away, girl.
Any other way wouldn't be right.
I'll give myself to you, girl. 
I'm not expecting much, but it's alright. 



Take What You Want

BLOOD DIAMOND - MAC ELEVEN X 86

Publications are the game, but who's keeping score?
Editors with the keys, always wanting more.
"Your work’s not relevant," they claim with a sigh,
While your spirit, piece by piece, starts to die.

Gatekeepers, mucking gatekeepers,
They turn us to weepers.
Gatekeepers, mucking gatekeepers,
They're the creepers.

In pursuit of a job, where research can take flight,
"Come back with more," they say, holding the spotlight.
But it's a catch-22, in the thick of the fight,
Left with no choice but another postdoc, despite.

Gatekeepers, mucking gatekeepers,
They're the grim reapers.
Gatekeepers, mucking gatekeepers,
They're the grim reapers.

Promotions on the line, but the path is unclear,
Deans with their power, fueling the fear.
"You don't have enough citations," they insist,
Neglecting our work, as if it doesn’t exist.

Gatekeepers, mucking gatekeepers,
They're the grim reapers.
Gatekeepers, mucking gatekeepers,
They're the grim reapers.
