Everyone is welcome
Time whispering away
As snow patters to the floor
Chorus in the streets
Awaiting the new year
Saying goodbye to regrets
That we hold on to so deep
Cutting away through our skin
As we cry the tears we weep
Reflecting forever hard
On what cannot be undone
Trudging through the tormented life
Another year has begun
As the fireworks explode
In a chorus of hurrah
Forgetting all our troubles
Wishing they were afar

Oh I love to wear a mask
Oh I love to feel so daft
Feeling muzzled just like a dog
Glasses steaming with stupid fog
Now I’m waiting in my line
Like a sheep just stuck behind
Hey stand back! You’re in my space
Can’t you see my I don’t care face
I’m poking my tongue out, just for you
Oh darn it, did you see it, sorry, oops
Don’t hit me, I apologise mate
Can’t you see it was just a mistake
God we’re going crazy, what a bloody mess
It’s the new road rage, everyone’s upset
Can’t take a joke. Sticking things up the nose
I think about funny things, cheesy smelly toes
Now that passes better, that second of pain
Stupid medical test, Like it’s a game
It didn’t really hurt, that tear in my eye
Just a bit of dust caught me by surprise
Until the next time, sure I’ll see you again
It wasn’t that bad, even if there is no end

Is it normal I don’t have a voice?
Is it normal I don’t have a choice?
Is it normal you can touch me where you want?
Is it normal that I can’t stop you and you won’t?
Do I have to keep my mouth shut for the rest of my life?
Do I have to live with the torment, suffer the lies?
Do I have to watch on as you do what you do again?
Do I have to worry that the next person may be my friend?
I am scared but I will stay silent no more
I am scared but I was never your whore
I am scared of what you may do to me
I am scared but my conscious is free
The secret is out I hope you will be shamed
The secret is out, an end to your game
The secret is out, to be censored like me
The secret is out…

Good morning daddy
Please pick me up
Hold me tight
I love you so much
Good morning daddy
I love your eyes
What will we do today?
Is it a surprise?
Good morning daddy
Are you okay?
You’re not yourself
Can we play?
Good morning daddy
You’re coughing a lot
Drink some syrup
To make it stop
Good morning mummy
Where is daddy today?
Why are you crying?
Can we go play?

Money, how it has control over us
It shapes our lives and causes fuss
Starting off with pocket money
Those little coins you find funny
In the shop what do you do?
Steal some sweets and run like a fool
Turn sixteen, mum asks you for rent
Get a job earning nothing, go on get bent!
Let’s move out, go get a flat
Overdraft sorted, in it, twat!
Credit card sorted, let’s go for it now
Two grand debt, well done kid, wow!
Oh I need a car, I need it today
Listen to no one, bought same day
Pound it at a hundred down the motorway
Pisses out petrol, firemen on way
Another debt, repairs to be done
Down the garage, oh what fun!
Debt piles up, more and more
Noting down what you spend, what a chore!
Try a bit of gambling, oh doing well
Roulette, poker, betting, lost, must not dwell
Ten grand now, more interest each payday
Can’t live like this, not this way
More and more depressed, don’t know what to do?
Hope for a miracle and hope it’s not you!

I’ve had the text from your mum
In two hours ends the fun
I’m doing the washing up
Thinking surely too much
Starting to regret and punish myself
I imagine it’s not good for my health
You’ve been with us for twelve days
You’re going through a phase
It seems you’ve been punishing us
Fits, tantrums, sulks and stuff
Whatever your six year old mind can find
What are you going to do this time?
It’s been so difficult looking after you
Not always knowing what to do.
With the baby here it’s been a big change
For you it has to be a little bit strange
We talk to you often, try to explain
You rolling your eyes, us explaining in vein
I want us to get along, all together
But you change your mind just like the weather
I ask myself what can I do?
What is needed to help you?
Although it’s difficult and you can make me sad.
I’ll always love you cause I’ll always be your dad
.
I’m trying to kick you
Kick you out of my life
My life has been owned by you
By you and your addictive ways
Addictive ways to make me play
Me play with you all the day
The day passes by
Passes by without even seeing
Even seeing what I have done
Have done much today
Much today or any day
Any day with you
With you in my life
I am happy
Am happy and not bored
Not bored but this is pointless
Is pointless to stay with you
With you here just wasting my hours
My hours are mine, I have will power
Will power to stop myself
Stop myself from touching you
Touching you one more time
More time with you
With you just once more
Once more, oh please
Oh please, no must stop
Must stop this addiction
This addiction to you
To you, for the hold you have
You have me, but I am strong
Am strong and I will quit
Will quit from your grasp
Your grasp on me
On me no more, I’ve decided, I’m free!
.
When you’ve had a bad day
You wonder which way
To go in your life
Argued with the wife
Your kids hate you
It’s their point of view
That nothing is good enough
That’s the way it is. Tough!
Your job sucks like a wormhole
You don’t like your boss, arsehole!
You can’t find another job
Cause you’re a lazy slob
Bills just don’t stop coming in
Overdraft and credit cards sinned
Your car has broken down
Your face starting to frown
Your phone is almost flat
Forgot to charge, what a twat.
That’s it, decided to quit?
Look at yourself, stop being a dick
.
I need it
I need my fix
I need my buzz
I need my cigarettes
I need my love
I need one more drink
I need to play one more time
I need my Facebook
I need my Twitter
I need to post one more time
I need that hit
I need that thing
I need to gamble
I need to spend
I need sex
I need to be abused
I need him
I need her
I need life
I need death
I need
I need
I neeeeeeeeeeeddd.

I watched him pulling up in his expensive car
I had seen him driving slow from afar
I offered to clean, with my water and rag
The window opened and there was a young lad
He had a toy tractor, yellow and green
This amazing toy my eyes had never seen
He let me play with it for a second or two
He smiled at me, then offered it too
I was so happy, by this boy’s geste
I searched my affairs with behest
I shared a sweet that mother had made
He ate with me, it made my day
The car drove off, he waved goodbye
I will remember him, till the day I die
