search for something more find it if its true facts will take you in the right direction logic will guide you through and don't just believe your eyes and ears or what seems right then the numbers that surround it all they have to correlate too don't fall into some cozy thinking you got to find out, and rule out every single possibility feed the brain each day research and know the way not believing what your eyes and ears seemed right then the numbers that were there they showed a statistical significance you ruled in, and ruled out each and every single possibility, that you thought of and the answer you found will be continued to be confirmed... let the world see what you found and let them try to shred it all and all and all apart and if they can't while others confirmed what you found and continued to pass it around each one that participates may be enemy or friend "Sound is all around us...everywhere it beats in our eardrums until much of the time we are hardly conscious of it but on this particular Saturday morning Jimmy Foster suddenly became very conscious of it..." not all will agree... "Son, You're still a citizen with the power to vote. Living in a scientific age we need citizens who know enough about science to make intelligent decisions about what they do. We use science to prolong life, increase security and happiness, but it could also be used for destruction. Are we gonna use it constructively to promote peace and give the world freedom from want? It will be up to you, and you too... Yeah, I see what you mean. It gives a fella a lot to think about..." give me lots to think about because between you and me and between us and them were just human after all all alone in the dark and in that dark there’s no other way to be found then to constantly search all around in here somewhere is something that we must all know... and it has to be confirmed and don't just believe your eyes and ears or what seems right then the numbers that surround it all they have to correlate too don't fall into some cozy thinking you got to find out, and rule out every single possibility not believing what your eyes and ears seemed right then the numbers there they showed a statistical significance you ruled in, and ruled out each and every possibility, that you thought of and the answer you found will be continued to be confirmed...

Everybody see me everybody needs me everybody got to know what I know I'll burn in the sunshine I'll freeze in the moon light I'll fear of the times when I had lost my mind ever since I've left you ever since I've called you ever since I've faced the disconnected line never ever thought that this could be such a mess never ever thought that you would call my bluff never ever wanted to be oh so much alone never ever wanted to be out on my own (talk, don't talk) you used to cater to my disillusion just take me out and put me away steal my voice? won't say what you want me to say it's unacceptable so force me to another place make me a different man again they medicate me again they try and shape me again the mold starts to hold escape from delusion wake from illusion but life has been drained from my mind let them all take what I worked so hard for watch them just reap it all just one voice always say what you want me to say It's proper and acceptable I've traveled to another place turned into a different man (talk, don't talk) just cater to my disillusion and pack me up and send me away

Falling 06:06
Sleepless night restless flight, bumpy seat up all day too hotel stay, and I can't sleep back at home there's the phone, yet again there's no time left alarm chimes and I get dressed sleep, sleep, sleep dream, dream, dream, I can't look now cause I'm falling oh yes I'm falling at the ground the birds nearby are calling yes they are calling me around and I turn around to see that they are all laughing at me. baggy eyes yawn and sigh, body ache energy gone look at me, I'm a wreck sleep, sleep, sleep dream, dream, dream I can't look now cause I'm falling oh yes I'm falling at the ground the birds nearby are calling oh yes they're calling me around and I ask them why they laugh at me they said look around you'll see can’t catch me now cause I’m climbing oh yes I'm climbing towards the sky the birds see now I'm flying oh yes I'm flying very high yes and luckily for me I completely missed you see ***The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy states: "There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. Its knack lies in learning to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ... Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that presents the difficulties." -Douglas Adams

First Break 07:52
Hey you i am right hear right by your ear but you can't see my face i am no place but in your sick mind you seem to me to be someone who needs to leave this world your bad your mad you lost your mind smash your head through the wall I have such hate ingrate you cant participate you sealed your fate so just escape and walk in front of that car we know that you and me will always be best friends you jerk you ass every one now is reading your mind get out of my mind i don't need you I fear you and please Stop saying those things when I hear you the doctors tell me not to listen your just a disease like cancer I did nothing to deserve this I’m sick and I’m tired I'll just lay here shut out the world pull myself away you go ahead and hide I'll just take things over and try and climb up a sky high bridge and fly through the air they say your sick you know your not they are evil they lie they medicate and crush you so get the fuck out of there run towards the door kick hard its locked kick more bang with your fist don’t let the staff restrain you they will tie you down halperdol, lorazipan, benztropine thorazine, clozapine, olanzapine come on wake up someone unstrapped you from the bed so get up and don't look so confused you don't deserve life don’t' take any more of those pills you will just be turned in to a puppet of their will hang yourself with your clothes bugs that burrow under your skin they win again at night while the worms crawl right into your sick mind your deep in my mind always hear you there’s nothing I can do to stop this I'm losing myself in this prison locked away by all who loved me more sick and more tired worse than cancer at least with that you could die don't have the strength I'm falling waiting to violently crash to the ground

Wake Me 11:18
In me there's not much left but you still crawl in my mind the future is so unsettled left all my pieces behind I’m looking at the world through a fog that blinds me medications that obscures and blurs my mind please shake me please wake me although the voice within is dulled and bearable I do fear that I've have lost my soul look at it another way you can spend time completely in control trust the ones who care for you and then in time see clearly all your goals clearing off the fog will come, the mind adjusts much better every turn don't think that you’ll burn as bright, too bright and you will probably just burn remember just to keep yourself in check health or hell you can discern so I feel I’m calling, bawling, crawling nothing to say stalling, falling, sprawling no light with the day hauling, brawling, mauling myself to the grave I need to be to be to need to plant the seed and then succeed indeed so see the world through brand new eyes new colors, lights and feelings will take hold and one day, this today will be a long, long, time ago so I must stop calling, bawling, crawling nothing to say stalling, falling, sprawling no light with the day hauling, brawling, mauling myself to the grave I need to be to be to need to plant the seed and then succeed indeed and now the voice is dulled and bearable I hope to move on and find my soul I'm released shake me I'm released wake me looking at the world now it is clear and bright and true might even just smile away there’s nothing better to do calling, bawling, crawling nothing to say stalling, falling, sprawling no light with the day hauling, brawling, mauling myself to the grave...

When You Go 05:58
When you go... its certainly nice when it's quiet and I can hear you no more I sit alone in the sunshine feeding the birds nobody to tell me nothing of any importance to me I sit back and wonder what happened there are no words when you go... its kinda strange being alone you were a part of my mind eventually I'm sure you'll come back in due time but now I sit in this sunshine listening to nothing at all a bird that's nearby starts to sing his sweet and lonely song when you go... you know that you gave me nothing why must I keep you around - me just like the coldest of winters no warmth would ever be found - from you and so you left me with nothing and yet you always come back - here and if I let my defences down you'll return to attack

Start Over Again Roll down the window watch the road flow by let the wind whip through my hair the speed it makes me feel alive I feel so free ending this chapter forever turn the page what it was, it was and just because it was it will always be sometimes I feel that this is all a mistake sick nervous fear right at my core why not just give it up and call it a day but something inside me it shouts out how could I ever live with myself just take a big deep breath compose myself OK alright I'll start over again so much older than I've ever dreamed but this old dog can do more today then he ever could have dreamed just wait and see I'll never forget the places I have been all those times the good and bad regrets and happiness all a part of me sometimes I feel that this is all a mistake sick nervous fear right at my core just can't give up I'll never call it a day each day I will smile when I wake up easily being myself a stretch and a big deep breath ready myself it will be alright to start over again each day I will smile when I wake up easily being myself a stretch and a big deep breath ready myself it will be alright and each day I will smile when I wake up easily being myself a stretch and a big deep breath ready myself it really is all alright

ah-ha, yes, eureka, solution, answer, clarity It just hit me in an instant a flash of inspiration sharp and bright left me floundering to record it down felt like an instant in time but it lasted all night the work after was easy piece by piece each part fell into place working day and night each component formed into a whole with a beautiful grace I don't wanna be where I can't be found I don't wanna see if the lights go down I don't wanna feel if my life, is changed, reversed, with you here so we released it to the masses a reception so bright everything so right sparkling reviews that all praise come out for days and days and days we did more than a million now it grows every day an exponential wave win awards and adulations the talk of the town nothing's ever gonna pull me down I will never be where I can't be found I will never see the lights ever go down I will never feel that my life, has changed, reversed, no you here I don't wanna be where I can't be found I don't wanna see if the lights go down I don't wanna feel if my life, is changed, reversed, with you here I will never be where I can't be found I will never see the lights ever go down I will never feel my life, is chained, reversed, no you here

You know that life it goes follow the flow (occasionally - swim against the stream) now I rise in the morning sleep all night a luxury that I have come accustomed to to get to see the day sun shows the way burning off the darkest clouds of sad and at work helping people money sucks not rich in wealth but you should see my fulfilled heart I go home everyday tired and drained but as happy as I’ve ever been look for more as we all do if happiness is hard to find relax and it will come to you it's right here it's right here pick a goal don't make it simple make it hard with a result that puts you in a better place it's right here it's right here sit outside on my day off enjoy the sun, the air, the views the mountains in the summertime watching my dogs they play no cares each day their happiness it spreads to me sets me free sleep in till nine roast some Toba brew it up and drink and dream of the next adventure to do you know that life it goes follow the flow (occasionally - swim against the stream) look for more as we all do if happiness is hard to find relax and it will come to you it's right here it's right here pick a goal don't make it simple make it hard with a result that puts you in a better place it's right here it's right here you know that life it goes follow the flow (occasionally - swim against the stream)

Inside a dream she's running and playing with a smile swinging on a swing laughing with another child then she's sitting next to me no longer a child a beautiful young lady eyes so beautiful and bright tears well up in my eyes she smiles and says “be at peace” I want to take her back home escape from this dream turn back time... she's standing nearby me now a woman with her child the child runs off to play she doesn’t look my way then a hand lays on my arm I turned around to see a beautiful grey lady eyes so sharp and clear and wise tears roll down from my eyes holding me close she sings “be at peace” I see its time to let go and wake up without Eliza Rose

Just look at this life rust corroded broken dreams this was the last strike can't continue this it seems don't look in the mirror won't like what I see this all has to end but what will the answer be... to end it all somehow to leave this world by my own hand or should I try to fight and get my life back now this life is a gift and its mine alone feel far too tired heart is racing I can not see hands are shaking sweat covers from head to feet I think its time to close the door and lock the key don't throw it away...
12.
Know that inside you have something that was lost but it was allways there near your heart no matter how frozen it turned out to be you have the flame to restore after the work then finally you'll turn around like what you see and see your world anew then you can just smile and know how hard you tried for this and won in the end

about

Inspiration Desperation examines the stigma that is associated with being diagnosed and living with mental illness. The songs are inspired by a fictional character Jimmy Foster and a not so fictional mental health care worker. Jimmy is a gifted young man whos natural talent for science has led him to become a very successful and famous inventor. After receiving treatment for his disease, Jimmy must continue on and find happiness. The other character in this story is there to give support and advice, but then, the lines between the two begin to blur.
