I am not what you say I am
I am not what I feel
I deserve so much more than I get
And I’ve done nothing wrong
I haven’t hurt you
I don’t owe you a thing
I have helped you before
But the doubt keeps on creeping in
Whenever you tell me
That nobody wants me like you
But it just isn’t true
I am worthy
I am strong
I’ve been hurt many times but I somehow keep going on
And you have the nerve to tell me that I don’t have the right
That you own me
Blood pounds
Light burns
Rage roars
I am not yours.
Heat rises, and my wings rise with it to the highest imaginable heights
Riding the current in lazy circles and taking in the view all around
Climbing, ever climbing, and never coming down - soaring
As if the world is a place of beauty and peace
A sudden collision; too high, too close
Something tears, the sun too hot
The reversal is very fast
One broken wing
Burning
Falling
Lost

Student Disney Suite: Screw Your Degree
[Spoken] Listen, freshers. The postgrad world, it's a mess. University is better than anything they got out there.
The vodka is always stronger
In somebody else's bar
You dream about rolling in there
But town centre's pretty far
Just look at the club around you
Right here in your campus home
Such cheap double shots surround you
And you're never on your own
Screw your degree
Screw your degree
If you're hungover
Simply roll over
Go back to sleep
Library's three metres away
You can go later in the day
Meanwhile we're thinkin'
You should be drinkin'!
Screw your degree
Your parents are gonna call you
At 8am ev'ry day
And that may be time for wo
You are, as every lovesick poet says, the sun
And I am the moon;
I don't revolve around you,
But whenever I can I try to reflect your light.
If we were to meet it would be catastrophic-
Not just for me, but for everything I do revolve around;
So we can't be as close as I would like
But sometimes, if I'm lucky, I get to share your sky.
I am the moon, and you are the sun;
You'll never even notice me
Except perhaps when I stand between you
And some small part of what revolves around you.
I am not as important as a planet;
I never even thought I was
And that's why, although you're the one who's distant,
It's me who is eclipsed.
