1000 Years

On a trip across the Milky Way I’m in the 31st century
Ice skating on Uranus and getting a tan on Mercury
Watching a black hole from my observatory dome
Set co-ordinates for Beetlejuice it’s time to head back home
While I sat in my rocket - I watched a documentary
The history of Planet Earth and how we used to be
Corruption in the government - CO2 in the sky
Obesity and poverty were the norms far back in time
Sucked into a world while trapped in 2017
Trapped in the dark ages of reality TV
A hole in space in space-time was missed by my quantum computer
My family now live 1000 years in the future
I was robbed of my life in the golden age of man
Now I work at a chippy scrubbing plates in a dishpan
At night I dream of Andromeda and my home in deep space
In the day I try to fix my rocket so I can ditch this place
Eight years of building and I’ve made something I can fly
This is a primitive planet I can’t wait to say goodbye
But as I took off back to my reality
NASA shot me down and gave me psychotherapy
Sucked into a world while trapped in 2017
Trapped in the dark ages of reality TV
A hole in space in space-time was missed by my quantum computer
My family now live 1000 years in the future
1000 years in the future…

Claustrophobia
03:11
|

Why do you never understand?
All I need is your hand
It’s like I live in a cage
I’d like to see the world
Coming out of my shell
I’d like to see inside your mind
Should I run from this place
I want to conquer you
The walls are closing in
Why do you think I can be cured?
My anxiety hits panic
I’m panicking
I’m all cramped in this space
With nothing but limited air
Can you help me get away?
Please can someone save me?
I’m not trapped in the dark
I’ve found home in my heart
Trying to get my head fixed
I feel claustrophobia
The walls are closing in
Why do you think I can be cured?
My anxiety hits panic
I’m panicking
You won’t ever understand
I won’t ask for your hand
You’re not the one on display
In front of the whole world
No more need for this shell
I can see straight through your mind
Look away from this place
Leave you conquered too
Can’t get away
Up to the light
Just want someone by my side
I just want you by my side
I’m starting to give up
I can’t escape from you
The walls are closing in
Why do you think I can be cured?
My anxiety hits panic
I’m panicking

Call My Name
03:53

Do you ever feel like no-one listens
Just feel the rhythm and follow me in your dreams
One day I’ll find my way back to you and we’ll live in harmony
But until then you got a make a life of your own
And if you think I have left you here alone just try again - Wo-oh
Try again - just open your eyes
Go outside and walk into the night time
Try again look up to the sky
Find that star the burning flame
And call my name
And call my name
And call my name
Do you even know that people listen just get into position
And follow me to there
One day you’ll need to break off these chains
You’ve gotta get away from the mayhem
And I know you will survive and if you need some help
‘Cos you’re striving and striving for life
Try again and call my name
Call my name
And call my name
Find that star the burning flame
Try again - just open your eyes
Go outside and walk into the night-time
Try again this time you won’t cry
Find that star the burning flame
You gotta pick yourself up you gotta try again
You gotta lift yourself up ‘cause you’re better than this
You gotta pick yourself up don’t treat life like a game
You gotta lift yourself up and call my name
Call my name
Call my name
Call my name

You’re my world you’re my path you’re my smile you’re laugh
And before I can fall you break down the walls ahead
Guidance that’s what I need - Guidance you’re there
Guidance I can’t forget - All around me you still care
I don’t feel alone anymore you are all I need
My brother my friend my dream for life
Oh when I’m with you I’m flying high
Understatement that’s what you are
No words to describe you - well none so far
You’re not my world - you’re my galaxy
Forget the problems and I start to see clearly
You’re my world you’re my path you’re my smile you’re laugh
And before I can fall you break down the walls ahead
Guidance that’s what I need - Guidance you’re there
Guidance I can’t forget - All around me you still care
I don’t feel alone anymore you are all I need
My brother my friend my dream for life
Oh when I’m with you I’m flying high
From back when - to where we are now
You’ve always stayed the same
Comedic and camp that’s what you are
Please don’t ever change
Guidance that’s what I need - Guidance you’re there
Guidance I can’t forget - All around me you still care
I don’t feel alone no more you are all I need
My brother my friend my dream for life
Oh when I’m with you I’m flying high
Look Ty I can’t thank you enough you’ve been there since I remember
From cringy teens to diva queens we’re nowhere near the end-a
You told we’re friends - you gave me a life - you even helped me dance
Now here I am chasing my dreams and now I gotta say
Thanks…
Guidance that’s what I need - Guidance you’re there
Guidance I can’t forget - All around me you still care
I don’t feel alone no more you are all I need
My brother my friend my dream for life
Oh when I’m with you I’m flying high

Stand Back

Yo - You call me DJ Bigmouth but that ain’t my real name
Did you know it’s actually Shane
You suckers are messed up in the brain
Go get some surgery
So you can see what you suckers are doing to me
My life is changing rapidly
Doing my work
Instead of going berserk
Over stupid things and bullies words
This is just absurd
You can take the mick out of this rap
And I will laugh just the same as the last
Hope you get bit in the ass
Next time you breath you will need a gas mask
Go to the toilet you don’t even ask
I’ve had enough of this town trust I ain’t staying
I will grab a taxi but I ain’t paying
This is ending here
Without the tears
Unlike last years you gave me a reason to rap yeah cheers
Learn to steer down the road of life
Getting further from a knife
I strive through life cause I have an education
I will live through all operations
I’m a lyrical miracle
You will fall playing basketball
Why are you so cruel?
It seems like I’m running around like a mule
Bullies - it’s time for you to stand back
Listen to the bars I’m spitting in this track
It’s time to leave us alone
Don’t take that tone
It’s time for you to go home
It’s time for you to stand back
Listen to the bars I’m spitting in this track
It’s time to leave us alone
Don’t take that tone
It’s time for you to go home
What would you do if the world ended and you were the only one left?
Would you hide or would you come and help rebuild the glass all over the windowsill?
Yeah still popping pills and drinking water still running on a treadmill.
Please just calm down
You’re making yourself look like a clown
Take a minutes rest maybe it’s for the best.
I’m in a scientific facility being tested
I’m hearing messages.
I got attacked when I was 13 by three mean boys
I developed ptsd please help me.
Now im stronger and more aware
When bullies give me an evil dark stare.
I feel like I’ve been devoured by a bear.
Come against me mate come against you
Boo hoo you lose that’s pretty unfortunate
But I’m mature enough to say stop you will get dropped.
I’ve been bullied for 4 years
Don’t you think it’s time to go and leave me alone?
Go on go home here you go use my phone
You’re all alone I see why you moan all the time you feel pain too
Listen to this rhyme this is for you

Headroom

I've got my own way of dealing with what I
Thought was in your head but turns up in mine
Keep it together and listen again
Maybe this time I will hear what you say
I need some room to think this through
Give me some headroom
Listen to the drums beating in my head
If you can hear it then maybe I'm sane
Crashing to earth in the comforting rain
Keep it together and get up again
Suddenly it falls apart
Suddenly it breaks away
Give me some space and I
Will put it all back

When the world’s got no life left and the sky is full of clouds
Everyone’s walking round like they’re defunct now
All people hear are moan. Groans, whines - even sighs
And I’m fed up of it - I’m fed up of it
They’re controlled like puppets - some think they can rule the world
Walking round and pushing everybody else down
People suck lifetime out of every soul
And I’m fed up of it - I’m fed up of it
I wanna hear you scream out
I’m tired of people being lifeless out and about
I wanna hear you shout out
There’s space for happiness no doubt
Let you’re freedom flow out
Connect your happiness to this world
Finally people stand up - finally speak out
There is space for happiness in this small world
People are prepared to fight for their right to smile
And I’m all in for this - I’m all in for this
I wanna hear you scream out
I’m tired of people being lifeless out and about
I wanna hear you shout out
There’s space for happiness no doubt
Let you’re freedom flow out
Connect your happiness to this world
Don’t wait for the weight to drag you down
Don’t wait for the weight to break you down
Stop start again take control and mend
Don’t wait for the wait to drag you down
Don’t wait for the weight to break you down
Stop start again take control and mend
I wanna hear you scream out
I’m tired of people being lifeless out and about
I wanna hear you shout out
There’s space for happiness no doubt
Let you’re freedom flow out
Connect your happiness to this world

Let me show you who I am - C’mon Let’s go
Let me show you what I got - you’re shot
Come this way and I’ll let you pray that one day you gotta tie the knot - Get Hot!
I’ve been living my life one step - no rewind
It’s now my time to shine
I need a nice guy to sweep me away
To tell me that he loves me enough to stay
Let me show you who I am
I’ve been living my life one step - no rewind
It’s now my time to shine
Whoh - I don’t care where we go
(It’s my time to shine)
As long as you can let me show ya
I’m what you need
And that says enough
So let’s not pretend you’re not keeping me up
Look me in the eye - I’ll give you my attention
I’ll treat you like my favourite sweet
Up all night we get no sleep
Nothing the same to me - (so free)
Do you get the appeal - was it one night thing? (No ring)
I won’t do this anymore
Stupid guys are gone for sure
I need a nice cute lovely guy sweet enough to stay
He’d tell me how he feels yeh there’s no other way
Nothing feels the same to me
I’ve been living my life one step - no rewind
It’s now my time to shine
Whoh - I don’t care where we go
(It’s my time to shine)
As long as you can let me show ya
I’m what you need
And that says enough
So let’s not pretend you’re not keeping me up
Look me in the eye - I’ll give you my attention
I’ll treat you like my favourite sweet
Up all night we get no sleep
Walk with me around the town
You can show me off - you can show me now
I like this feeling a little too much
Don’t play nice - I like it rough
