Weight In Gold - New Insomnia

Intro (Change) - After Pluto

When the bullet's been bit
And the bridge has been crossed
When the dice are all rolled
And we're both at a loss

'Cause you're looking at me
And I'm glancin at you
And I wonder if we
Are both staring straight through

Oh, I got lost in the snow
Blinded by an impossible glow

When we're right on the edge
Between ahead and behind
When you just wanna start
But you can't find the line

When the sweater looks warm
But the fingers are cold
When you just wanna have
But you don't know if you can hold

Oh, I got lost in the snow
Blinded by an impossible glow
By an impossible glow

Lost in the Snow demo

Put on my coat and I combed my hair
Went for a walk in the cool night air
Over fields and beyond the hill
I saw the Moon full, shining still.
I felt brave so I asked him why
He'd stopped his journey across the sky
Sadness etched across his face
All alone in outer space

Now I've been up here since my birth
The only child - Son - of Mother Earth
Your gonna have to change your ways
I'll flood the land for 40 days.
It's time for me to make a stand
You won't survive what I got planned
With all the people gone
Time will right all you did wrong

And all this talk makes me so sad
I think of all the good times that we've had
I can't believe the things we've done
To my Mothers Earth and her only Son
I'm my Mothers only Son

I woke early from my bed
The Moon's eyes they were glowing red
By noon - it began to unfold
The rising tides a sight to behold
The four winds had joined the fight
A God like wrath and Natures might
No escape, I can't pretend
Humanity - Is this the end?

And i'm a lot like you
I'm just passing through
I'm just a simple man
I'm doing what I can

If you feel the need to try it,
It's so easy to do
and the the people that surround you
don't share your point of view.
So don't be shy reach for the sky
there's nothing at stake
Cos a life is worthless to a drug dealing snake
You think you're having fun
well let me tell you my friend
You'll be dancing with the Devil
until your pitiful end
Its well known fact 
that the weakest suffer the most
In this dirty Human world where
Ghosts... create...Ghosts...create...

...All the money and all the greed.
More food and drink that I'll ever need,
the cost to fill my car will feed a thousand
starving mouths.

All the trees are full of disease
Chemicals kill our Birds and Bees
It's a legacy, it depresses me
You're asking me,
we're lost at sea.

Muslim Jew and Catholic, Christian
You make me sick,
At each other you shake your stick
Perhaps we need Realpolitik

Nature knows just what to do
when a species time is overdue,
mass extinction for me and you
and there'll be no way out.

And I'm a lot like you
I'm just passing through
I'm just a simple man
But I got no plan

When I wake up in the morning
and I turn on the news
another blast there's 50 dead
A suicide bomber with a twisted head
I sip up my coffee and lace up my shoes
A dying Mother holds a screaming child
and the leaders of our land are so reviled
What I really do is put my head in my hands
Can't hide my feelings 
when everything is so unappealing
All I do is carry on
like nothing is wrong
well  I'll be home soon it won't be long
and I can lock the door and put the TV on

It's a well known fact 
that the weakest suffer the most
In this dirty Human world
where Ghosts create

Create Ghosts.

A guiding light
Calls to me softly
Cold winters eve

It's freezing cold
And I brace myself
Tonight I plan to thieve

Try the front door
A nice simple lock
Soon I'm inside

A nice family home
I warm my hands
By the fireside

You know that at this time of year
The chill bites the hardest

The winter brings hardship & pain
For those less blessed

I know that what I do is wrong
I'm breaking the rules

Please forgive me if you can
For stealing your jewels

No Christmas cheer
Only fear
Consumes my mind

And I must stay calm
Compose myself
See what I can find

Oh that's so nice
A necklace and a watch
Inside a jewellery box

It's stuff that I can sell
To the Ne'er-do-well
Down at the Hen & Fox

You know at this time of year
The chill bites the hardest

The winter brings hardship & pain
For those less blessed

I know that what I do is wrong
And I'm breaking the rules

Please forgive me if you can
For stealing your jewels

I'm a thief
with belief
Lord forgive me my sins

With regret
And a heavy heart
I do these things.

Spellbound

Slow Burnin'
--------------------------------

Every morning messy bed
Wake up with the whole world one step ahead 
One step ahead
Big wheel turning stuck in line
Highway crew's on the overpass just keeping time
Just keeping time
Cause its a slow burning 
Its a slow burning

Stuck in the mirror haven't shaved in a week
Can't stand the shame just staring at me
Whats looking at me
Every evening every night
I beg my baby give me one more chance tonight 
I'll prove it this time
Cause baby its a slow burning 
Its a slow burning 

Midnight roll whiskey shot
I put all my money on black and I'm not walking home yet 
Im not going home now

You don't play the game your voice don't count
Like a wick without wax you'll fizzle out
You'll burn out
Well I'm still going I still carry the faith 
Maybe I still got some time to make my own way 
To make my own way 
Cause baby its a slow burning 
Now Its a slow burning
