MOOD SWINGS INSTRUMENTALS ON BLUE OR RED TAPE
lyrics
Trust
Verse One:
Have you ever had that feeling - alone and detached?
Surrounded by people but hopeless and trapped?
Now that you’re grown up and moments have past
You’re feeling paranoid like to show love’s an act
You don’t trust the facts but fiction has stopped
Imagination is a picture that’s lost
Life’s here’s removed from the mystery of God
Where men rule the land and their scripting the plot
With fists in a knot - they’re claiming the power
Rule & divide - lives claimed and devoured
Tainting the landscape - making us sour
A a mind goes insane every hour
Fame can arouse us - celebrity status
I hide behind make-up neglecting my neighbours
People are dangerous: it's pressed in the papers
We pass the blame but society shapes us
Chorus x2:
What is trust - how do we define it?
Where is trust in a world that's divided?
Whose to trust - is it love that decides it?
Do we put trust above where the skies sit?
Verse Two:
We don’t trust each other but hate is our friend,
I log into posts from the racism trend,
news feeds of children that pray for the end
To violence, corruption and waiting for men
To wake up and sense that there’s got to be more
More to the misery and option of war
There’s got to be more but it’s hard to envision
... We turn off television
Choose not to listen & silence the sound
Create our own drama with nights on the town
And we hide in the crowds
Virtually connected - our minds in the clouds,
I’m writing for now as a means of escape
A break from the things that might keep me in shape
Society says to succeed and be great
It’s all about looks and the upkeep of taste
Chorus x2:
What is trust - how do we define it?
Where is trust in a world that's divided?
Whose to trust - is it love that decides it?
Do we put trust above where the skies sit?
Verse Three:
When I was young I thought trust was easy
But no-one trusts me - i’m on CCTV
I can’t trust you: can you believe me?
Can I trust what society teaches me?
I can dream free but awake i’m not
Anyway - who really makes the plot?
I heard our pay’s been chopped and even wages stopped
They said we made a loss. But maybe not.
Maybe what we’ve heard is just an edit
A segment of the story as they tell it
Something’s missing but we continue
And blame each-other for the mess we got into
Who can we trust? Who can I trust?
Is it them? Is it me? Is it us?
Am I alone - is there someone above?
Or should the stars on the ground be enough?
Chorus x4:
What is trust - how do we define it?
Where is trust in a world that's divided?
Whose to trust - is it love that decides it?
Do we put trust above where the skies sit?
