POUND FOR PROFIT
Suit and tie, suit and tie tell me your white lies
Suit and tie, Suit and tie why do you kill for a living?
You’re killing hope yeah you’re selling smoke, found
wanting for winning
Your soul is gone to leave behind your body now empty
Pound for profit
Pound for profit
Take a good thing and make money from it
Take suffering and sell it on the market
Sell your soul and let go of all that you care for
Because it’s pound, for profit
Happiness lies at the bottom of your bank account
Look at all this shit that I can buy
There’s security and freedom in money you say
As everyone you love walks away
Where’s is the fun in life, you came to love
Pound for profit
Pound for profit
Take a good thing and make money from it
Take suffering and sell it on the market
Sell your soul and let go of all that you care for
Because it’s pound, for profit

Permission

PERMISSION
What is my justification
Can I respond with tongue in cheek
Will you hear my reasons
Or play your tunes, on repeat
No don’t speak
Can I please get a word in
Will you listen
Or continue your repeating patern
Permission to land,
Permission to speak
Permission to feel sadness
Permission to be
Permission to seek
The friendship I need
I thought you were it,
But you couldn’t see me
Permission to land
Permission to speak
Permission to feel sadness
Permission to be
Permission to seek
The friendship I need
I thought you were it
But you couldn’t see me

HALF GLASS GIRL
She’s a half glass full girl,
In an empty world
Trying to fill her cup
She’s a pioneer
For the kind of gold
Hidden beneath amber liquid
Pick up your pieces oh,
pick up your pieces go home
She’s a half glass empty girl
In an empty world
Drinking to her future
She’s a pioneer
For the kind of gold
Hidden beneath amber liquid
Pick up your pieces oh,
pick up your pieces go home

TRUE TO YOU
Cry me a River, or paint me a sky
With those haunted, blue eyes
Take a part of me, and hold it tight
Take any part you want any part you like
Be true not false, don’t deceive
There’s a part of me you’ll always keep
A part of you, you cannot complete
A part of you, you cannot see
Be true to you
true to you
Paint me a river but let it run dry
No observations for this skyline
Don’t obsess with woes or rhymes just one last drop
Of your red, red wine.

HOME
Some people find comfort in waves
Feel the waves rock their bodies in a way that belongs,
I could never understand
Could never trust the waves would keep me safe from harm
And so I’d Say
Take me home
Take me home
My feet fit perfectly between the branches on the old karri tree
And I would much rather stick my hands in the soil than feet in the
sand
I would rather fall from green canopies
Than drown 10 ft under water at the bottom of the sea
And so I’d Say
Take me home
Take me home
