State Of Shock

Custom Made

154th Idea

Sail on by, set sail for yesterday to tomorrow, we won't succumb 
Let's not try, to risk the cold, what's right for others, ain't right for some

We could go over and over but I guess, you're over that, it's never as simple, as white and black
We could drive over and over this bump in the road, but all of this pressure, won't make it flat

Sail on by set sail for us today cos tomorrow, has yet to be 
When up on high, where love is not too old what's right for a and b, ain't right for c

We could go over and over but I guess, I'm over that, it's never as simple, as white and black
We could drive over and over this bump, in the road but all this pressure, won't make it flat  

So let us reside, reside under these clouds in the sky that go where they blow, and don’t often know 
As much as we think we like the best ain’t always right sit here and foe, or stand toe to toe, through this Waltz of Woe

Waltz of Woe

Lyrics:

'Well I'm sorry if my voice is wearing thin,
see I been calling 'cross this valley through the coldest winds.
I've even climbed up to the treetops where the air is thin.
In the hopes that I would hear you calling back again,
but I ain't heard you call me back again.

See waiting's so much harder when you don't know what you're waiting on,
like sand without a timer, leaves you no reminder what's to come.
See a friend pass by as I'm sitting here, so they keep me company,
they waited there beside me as I waited for you.

So I'm sorry if my sight is growing dim, 
from all these evenings watching sunsets sat beside my friend.
See hours wrapped in laughter, tastes like time well spent to me,
and food for thought is talk of future so we rush right in. We rush right in singing.

But waiting's so much harder when you don't know what you're waiting on,
like sand without a timer, leaves you no reminder of what's to come.
Still my days roll by oh so causally, filled with friends and family,
and they all waited there beside me as I waited for you, you know I've waited for you.

So I'm sorry if my tears have all run dry,
you see this well is out of water seven years gone by. 
So now you'll come looking for me but it's far too late to hear your reasons,
why'd you think your words are even welcome here.
There ain't a thing that I could wish to hear,
that's gonna mend the pain from all the days I failed to hear from you.
You know I've failed to hear from you.

So I'm sorry if my love is wearing thin, 
I guess I'm just not that same person that you knew back then.
And the best that we can hope for is to start again,
but not until the time is right to let you in.
So you can sit and wait for me to let you in, 
singing.

Cos waiting's so much harder when you don't know what you're waiting on,
like sand without a timer, leaves you no reminder of what's to come.
I hope your days roll by oh so causally, filled with friends and new family,
but you could have waited there beside me like I waited for you, you know I waited for you.
Truth is I'm still waiting on you.'

Wearing Thin

“Dumb is about underestimating someone’s strength and how to keep getting back up after being knocked down repeatedly.  It's about breaking stereotypes and ‘playing’ the fool to win the game.  I wanted it to have a fun, vibrant vibe with a "two fingers up" pay-off for extra sassiness.  I hope my listeners feel a sense of empowerment and liberation from the track.  I just want people to feel good and own their power”.
