HEAD HOME
Your days you've lived I'm glad aren't mine,
Your faults continue growing mountain high,
Your dreams are too far away to reach,
Your hopes were never born .... and they'll never be.
(chorus)
In any instance I can always head home,
Soon as I find influence I won't feel alone.
There is no chance for you to take,
No roads, no ground, you still best walk away,
(remaining lyrics to be published)

YOU HAVE EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD EXCEPT MY FORGIVENESS
It never makes any difference
if you've been through worse,
The others will focus on lesser levels
to make them work.
When one hell is over,
it's there as an escape to go back,
Every here and now is expected
of tomorrow's attack.
(chorus)
You have everything in the world except my forgiveness,
Your ease began by ending mine,
Yes, remember me as your ground
as it was mine
and I can break it
but not your fall
anytime.
You'll be living in hope
that some time I will pass away,
Your life involves running away
from when you see me again, one day.
I got twisted into target form
to show your nothing was something real,
You survived by staying buried
in some untraceable field.
(rpt. chorus)
You just say it for the sake of it
with a salvaged eye in defeat,
a fictional mind working towards
an achievement of no need
with a crowd that knows
I'm clear and I'm fine,
but their own crimes will be detected
while joining your side.

KILLING STORY
Still looking at the world and it's wonders,
You know damn well what's right,
I'd only love it so as to what it should be like,
But there are many realities I despise,
I despise.
(chorus)
It's a killing story,
Another with no end,
And it may make you recall others
From way back when.
Another question slides forwards,
And even if I knew what to think or say,
It's no good asking someone with a beautiful mind
And wants to keep it that way.
And I'm not answering someone
who just wants their life saved,
When all they want to do is spill and stain.
(rpt. chorus)
The award's there, look,
You're ready for giving it to,
By people who couldn't be bothered
to do what you sometimes do.
And you'll accept it and appear
in a soon-forgotten picture,
With a face everyone'll know
is not the real you.
(rpt. chorus)
Written and performed by John Boulter.

ALL YOU'LL FIND IS EVERYWHERE
On coastal streets at night,
I walk, trying to tear up days gone by,
Near the moon's motion
Where the black, restless ocean
Cradles the rays in shredded lines.
(chorus)
All you want and all you'll find is everywhere,
Anyway.
At last, I have this hope of release,
The arrival's, somehow, the new eternity,
Knowing a sunlight will soon be born,
And lands on the stage of the sea.
The entertainment outside the old boarded town-hall,
Is where others build the day in the summer haze,
The dark hours submit to die for a while,
So the tended patterns can go take place.
(rpt. chorus x 2)
To tell you now whether you're here or gone,
You'll go see the world,
But you'll then return,
To choose from different reasons
That'll pale the world of good,
Back to the trauma of town
And the favoured fortunes of home,
Where you knew all along,
You were bound by hope,
That remorse would be given,
And things would change.
But they won't.
You'll just be back,
To the snare-setting faces
of your given hours
that'll see you again.
(rpt. chorus)

BECAUSE IT WAS AN UNDERLING
I know they'll all slide together,
They can't go any lower, they're born to go nowhere,
Just a plan, it seems, that's absolute and set,
To craft and cause nothing that's there.
(chorus)
Meanwhile,
I'm free to realise,
How I really felt
All this time.
It's the usual two-way,
I don't want to be broken before their own shivered beings,
But I've already seen them around here,
And to find that's all there is.
(rpt. chorus)
And once again, some trailing adherent,
Arriving with belief into a new town war,
Taking the life he's never recognised,
See, I remember him from long before,
Kicking good his separate wound
That split to extent,
And I'd never the need to repent,
Myself and all around then know it was deserved,
Because, for no purpose, it was my blood, first,
And then, it was his to be drawn,
And he fell crying to the floor,
My response that caused his combined pain and pride,
And I lived all these years to hope and hear of him
ending his life,
But he's still around,
Still with no strengths, gains or gifts,
Still relates with the rest around here,
And to find
That's all there is.
(rpt. chorus)

RIVE-RIDDEN
Truth is I've never known what you've been through,
I just know you've had your own hell,
And all it's ever done is show
You don't survive it to well.
Maybe I do know what to do,
But working it the right way into place,
Doesn't mean easy years, either,
And you'll have to live and walk with your prayers contained.
You'll never feel alive,
Just to win the battles in your dreams,
All of which you'll never admit
Were if ever in any need.
But tomorrow's still an entrance,
Truth or lie - you decide,
Even with those you rely on or oppose,
The world's circle meets anywhere and collides.
Yet you want to be saved, now, it seems,
After what you've done and how I'll always feel,
After breaking my own life's chosen words,
Dear sweet new world,
It's deserved!
It's deserved!
I have my azure, still,
It'll show you the best roads of all,
Yes, it's sad about your life,
But I can't give you mine to kill anymore.
