Global Collaborations Too

by Marc Freak

/
1.
With a jump I felt higher With a springboard I fly And our palms both reached far out Into you arms until we pass out CHORUS You kind of hold me in a trance I never really ever really ever had much a chance I took a firm yet drunken stance I never really ever really ever had much a chance You had me with a single glance I never really ever really ever had much a chance Lets raise a glass and have a dance Floating high dreaming higher Whilst my heart is on fire Looking down on the doubters That know nothing about us CHORUS With a jump I felt higher With a springboard I fly I don't care about perception This is my true redemption CHORUS
2.
Two minds that find themselves in one Flick a coin - its the same since time begun I recall adventures on a page It took.... well infact it took an age CHORUS It was a fluke, a happenstance I dreamt but dreams can fade Spending my years in lovestruck trance Elaborate A look - and I've seen that glance before You never guessed but it slayed me to the floor CHORUS Who'd have guessed that we'd meet here at this time I confess this coincidence is all mine All mine
3.
Him: "First time I set my eyes on you Every fantasy I'd ever dreamed suddenly seemed far more true I hope you weren't put off by my numb grin But I was dumbstruck and couldn't remember who I was or where I'd been" Her "First time I set my eyes on you I was frightened and near set my whole damn pack of dogs on you And first impressions tend to last Did you not take the hint when watching as I ran away so fast" CHORUS Past life, fast life, fading away If the shoe fits its not my shoe Past life, fast life turning the air kind of blue Him: "First time I set my eyes on you I guess I kinda knew that it was all far too good to be true My mouth spluttered out some words But they all just merged together into indecipherable turds" Her: "First time I set my eyes on you It was such unpleasant viewing that I very nearly spewed Stop sitting there! Please just move along You're not the kind of lover that I sing about in song" CHORUS
4.
What's a name? The concept is overrated I took my past and set it on fire The look you gave me it told a story I think our paths crossed but I don't know why CHORUS My legacy in flames We're who we are Forget the fun and games Remove the scar I had a dream Maybe its paranoia I'm sure you were standing by the corner In a black dress The eyes of an apparition This time you feel a little warmer CHORUS Are we both fake? Mistaken identity I lost my life lighting the fire CHORUS
5.
Jumping out of the frying pan into the fire Like a drug bust with a visible wire But its worth it for the time that we spend And I pray they don't end All I crawled through has the skin busy itching And my internet is permanently glitching But I cannot bare the time we're apart Its a trial of the heart CHORUS Is this just a perfect dream that's coming true? I want to spend the whole of my brief life with you When you're standing in darkness and a glimpse of light shines through When you're lit up like a beacon And although you are freaking I'm loving this dream come true With you And the time I have left grows ever shorter I am drowning in invisible water Its a failure on my part I can't swim And the prospects look grim There's a torch that ever shines in the distance Hold my hands up - show no signs of resistance I'm a prisoner of love I don't mind in fact I'm pleased to do time CHORUS
6.
When the pressure subsides As our worlds collide And we can both confide Our secrets learnt As the downforce hits And our giggling fits Have us both in bits Smiling but burnt Stability maintained As the downforce gained Is the pressure just feigned Or duly earnt? CHORUS And the pressures building up from inside Yet I'm feeling more stable And the pressures building up will subside And the downforce felt But neither want out So we scream and shout The pressure on CHORUS (Force felt / face melt / no doubt)
7.
I got a grip I thought I learnt Held you dear but still got burnt A bitter time A bitter pill I hunger for you still CHORUS It ain't my kind of love I'm raw and damaged An angel from above Too hard to manage It ain't my kind of love But still I'm famished It was a blip An error of thought And thankfully time was short Devil within Angel outside Contain the hunger Oh hell I tried CHORUS
8.
Only won the jackpot again This time all the winnings remain They're claimed You can't lose what you've never had Though I gambled it all went bad Oh so sad CHORUS (What a time we had) I pick a lucky number I picked you from the crowd At that time it wasn't allowed (Second chance and glad) And so many years later I came back to the game And won at the jackpot again When I wake with my drunken eyes See you there to my great surprise And its nice Every time when I hold you near Expecting you to just disappear That's my fear CHORUS Only won the jackpot again This time I hope that you remain Your claimed
9.
I'm scared of people I'm scared of heights I'm scared of being alone these long nights I'm like a dart board Riddled with holes And subject to many aggressive hard throws CHORUS Can you look into my mind? I'm a broken shell She who search is sure to find a ne'er do well Mind the scratch ignore the scar or turn off the lights Join me these long nights I'm scared of failure I've failed too much I'm slow to anger and fun to touch But touch with peril For once engaged I'm a pure please as the best wines are aged CHORUS
10.
Ectoplasmic Inscriptions I saw through the flame Your corpse in chains You fail but still breathe Too pumped to leave CHORUS Ectoplasmic inscriptions Written and glowing long after the grave They taught us at school that we're always the slave Far too many inflictions Far too dusty and decrepit to behave They taught us at church that we're always the slave Can you still touch? I'd like that so much Pull away faded ghost Sign the warrant - we're all toast CHORUS I saw through the flame Your charred remains
