Give The Void Its Colours Trick yourself with empty words like love Throw them down for others to pick up Looking for a reason to care? Give the void its colours or pray Paint yourself to perfection for a loss Hang it proudly like a crucifix in your loft Looking for something to break? Give the void its colours or pray Dress your thoughts in brightly coloured cloth And keep your memories warm They’re all you’ve got Trick yourself with empty words like love Throw them down for others to pick up Looking for something to say? Give the void its colours or pray Give the void its colours or pray Give the void its colours or pray Looking for a reason to care? Give the void its colours or pray Words and music written by Keith M Thomson © 2022

Sinkhole 03:11
Sinkhole I built my house on a collapsing piece of land Now I’m sinking deeper underground I feel the water in my lungs I feel the dirt scratching The back of my filthy, uncontrollable mouth Now the maggots are beginning to twitch The worms are licking their lips The flies are celebrating The ants are salivating One body rots Somebody else gets rich While I sink others are rising up I gorged myself on the illusion of wealth I got fat on debt and silly shallow dreams Now I’m easy fodder for every greedy bug and predator For every low-life, scavenger and thief While I sink others are rising up Words and music written by Keith M Thomson © 2022

Verena In The Mornings Verena only dreams in the mornings The crack of dawn ignites the spark That lights up the relief that's inside her She says she can't dream in the dark She says she can’t dream in the dark Verena only dreams in the mornings Verena only dreams in the mornings She says she can’t dream in the dark A lullaby of flies on her breakfast Buzz in time with what's on TV She can’t see the dirt when she’s dreaming She can’t see the filth when she sleeps She can’t see the filth when she sleeps Verena only dreams in the mornings Verena only dreams in the mornings She says she can’t dream in the dark Verena only dreams in the mornings Words and music written by Keith M Thomson © 2022

Big Mistakes 02:46
Big Mistakes I don't waste time with complications like Small fails or slights or minor oversights When I fall from grace it's from a higher place When I crash you taste The acid in the tears of the public outrage I just can't stop giving in to life’s unforgivable sins My compulsions always win I just can't stop myself... I just can't stop myself from making... Big mistakes I only make the big mistakes Big mistakes I only make the big mistakes I don't mean little things like breaking porcelain I don't mean shattering glass or dreams or foolish aspirations And I don't mean burning food I don't mean dirty looks I don’t mean sleeping in I don't mean being late And I don't mean cursing I just can't stop giving in To inexcusable sin My obsession always wins I just can't stop myself... I can't stop myself from making... Big mistakes I only make the big mistakes Big mistakes I only make the big mistakes Words and music written by Keith M Thomson © 2022

Think Of A Number Think of a number Any number you want, but it has to match mine Think of an answer There is one correct response and many wrong replies Your delusion of choice gives more power to me Your delusion of choice gives more power to me Think of a number Think of a number Think of a saviour Paint a pretty vivid picture And make it look like me Think of dependence Without me you are nothing Without me you are free Your delusion of choice gives more power to me Your delusion of choice gives more power to me Think of a number Think of a number Words and music written by Keith M Thomson © 2022

New Best Thing I’ve got a new best thing It makes it hard to think It’s hard concentrating With my new best thing I feel it under my skin It’s more a pain than an itch It’s like a disease but I’m not sure which I’ve got a new best thing It’s in the water I drink It’s in the air I breathe in It’s in the food I digest I’ve got a new best thing It’s in every pill that I take It’s in every penny I never make It’s in every bit of dirt that I rake I’ve got a new best thing My new best thing has taken over again My new best thing has taken over again My new best thing has taken over me again It’s in every desire It’s in everyone I admires In every crime… in every lie I’ve got a new best thing It’s in every loss every win In every reoccurring dream I can’t float, sink or swim I’ve got a new best thing My new best thing has taken over again My new best thing has taken over again My new best thing has taken over me again I’ve got a new best thing I’ve got a new best thing It’s taken over again I’ve got a new best thing Words and music written by Keith M Thomson © 2022

Unbreakable Codes Each face is a test of my own failure or my success Each day is a race to undress What came before and what might happen next They said they were unbreakable codes I made them breakable They said they were unbreakable codes I made them break Each crease in their skin Is the key to unlocking their sin Each week that passes without end Is a preface to starting again They said they were unbreakable codes I made them breakable They said they were unbreakable codes I made them break They said they were unbreakable codes I made them breakable They said they were unbreakable codes I made them break Words and music written by Keith M Thomson © 2022

Lonely In Your Dreams Evenings taunt me with impossibilities They seduce me to sleep They know when I'm weak They capture me They conquer me Then they leave Is it normal to feel lonely in your dreams? Unforgiving histories Reliving every awkward scene I've ever found myself in And will be found in again They hold me They make promises Then they leave Is it normal to feel lonely in your dreams? I'm bound by a strong will to feel clean I'm bound by exits I can’t see I look around…I can't see anyone I look around…I can't see anyone I look around…I can't see anyone but me The mornings creep in Like they've been filmed in slow motion I've been living for so long For the cradle of the dawn To hold me Console me And never leave Is it normal to feel lonely in your dreams?
