Sometimes
|
Something good
|
Needs understating to be understood
|
Needs towing back from the cliche status
|
That empties meaning from the phrases
|
Used so often - once they held
|
The singularity of the bell
|
Used so often - once they held
|
The singularity of the bell
|
|
When words on overtime ring false cheer
|
Cos everyone's saying them, it numbs the ears
|
|
Picking up catchlines
|
The wrong word at the wrong time
|
Lost your future friends
|
The wrong word at the right time
|
Started up a trend
|
The right word at the right time
|
Is only in your head
|
Is only in your head
|
|
Sometimes
|
Something bad
|
Needs overstating in a sense gone mad
|
When pain fear and grief
|
Become too easy to believe
|
Then the feeling isn't coming through
|
When we daily consume oversimplified gloom
|
Reported by strangers
|
We fear anything we're not set to receive
|
And feel alienated
|
|
So when someone's pain
|
Gets in our faces
|
We need to hear
|
Different phrases
|
That we can believe
|
That we can believe
|
That we can believe
|
|
What kind of worlds have we created
|
Where basic feelings need re-creating
|
To avoid the perceptions of fiction and cliche
|
Being received?
|
How long before via screen mentality
|
Will we all forget how to tell the reality
|
Apart from the act? There's the duality
|
Careful how you feed
|
