Touch of Reality/ Shani Weiss In a vision from the back of my mind, While I sleep my time away, All is gone now, where is my home? I have some doubt And when I wake I feel like I’m falling and falling from the touch of reality I want to go home to you And when I wake I feel like I’m falling and falling from the touch of reality I want to go home to you In a secret place kept under the ground Lives a seed that no one has found While the volcano threats to erupt And how dare you ask me about all the things that are mine? And how dare you leave me behind? And when I wake I feel like I’m falling and falling from the touch of reality I want to go home to you And when I wake I feel like I’m falling and falling from the touch of reality I want to go home to you

Northern Star/ Shani Weiss Thoughts and whispers spinning round my head In a purple blue night of a red orange day. Rain of starts circle in a twister motion. White colour skin and bright red lips, Behind green eyes where a whisper lies. I know where I need to go, But I don’t know how to get there. Oh please, northern star show me the way. I know where I need to go, But I don’t know how to get there. Oh please, northern star show me the way. Take me back to the place where the sun is yellow, and the sand is white. If birds can sing their freedom, Why can’t I? Why can’t I? Why can’t I? Pass the winter and spring arrives, And I remember that it’s all alright. I know where I need to go, But I don’t know how to get there. Oh please, northern star show me the way. I know where I need to go, But I don’t know how to get there. Oh please, northern star show me the way. Show me the way, oh show me the way Show me the way

Pai 03:07
As I sit by the river I see mountains of green and a waterfall As I sit by the river I sit and stare and want to share it all Coz the river flows all day as I sit and fade away And think of all the places that I’ve been before Different cultures different names, each in its own way none the same But this is one of the places I adore As I sit by the river beautiful butterflies all around As I sit by the river in a place where peace and harmony is found Sudden rain comes tumbling down washes all this little town And then the sun comes out and everything is new As I sit here I get wet but I will not leave just yet Coz there is nothing that I would like to do More than sit by the river Oh yes I sit by the river As I sit by the river I can hear the birds singing my song As I sit by the river all is good and nothing can go wrong But I have to go home soon just as quickly as the moon Changes every night until it gets full All I’ve learnt and all I’ve done all I’ve hurt and all I’ve shun Will forever be with me in my soul As I sit by the river Oh yes I sit by the river

Watching Eachother/ Shani Weiss I wanted to say thank you for making me strong And even though you hurt me this time it won’t be for long As you sit there watching me All I want is for you to leave As I sit there watching you I can feel my heart break Once again I am in this place but this time I can’t stay Oh if we will ever get back on track then things can’t stay the same As you sit there watching me All I want is for you to leave As I sit there watching you I can feel my heart break Please don’t leave me a scar I want to be clean I can’t take anymore Oh wake me up when it’s all over As you sit there watching me All I want is for you to leave As I sit there watching you I can feel my heart break

Result 03:34
Result/ Shani Weiss One decision has left my lips in certainty, That one reason is all you need to make it sometimes. One secret can crack the pot that holds it in and, One slip from your mouth can destroy everything. And when in burns through your skin, And he’s left behind, You think you can control it, Just hope that he won’t find out. And when in burns through your skin, And he’s left behind, You think you can control it, Just hope that he won’t find out. One moment of innocence can lead to a disaster. One thought that wasn’t supposed to be put into action. And when in burns through your skin, And he’s left behind, You think you can control it, Just hope that he won’t find out. And when in burns through your skin, And he’s left behind, You think you can control it, Just hope that he won’t find out.

Politics 03:03
Politics/ Shani Weiss In between these four walls I am waiting Foggy say not like any other when will it stop raining Ooh winter’s cold There’s a battle going on outside Sometimes I just want to get away I just want to get away And when it’s all over what will you have left? All just hatred and sorrow Did you get your boy back or did you gain a little more Ego from your shoulders that expand by the minute Ego fro, your shoulders In between these four walls I am sitting Passing by my time not like another Who’s fighting for his life Ooh winter’s cold There’s a battle going on outside Sometimes I just want to get away I just want to get away And when it’s all over what will you have left? All just hatred and sorrow Did you get your boy back or did you gain a little more Ego from your shoulders that expand by the minute Ego from your shoulders

Late for Work/ Shani Weiss Waiting at the station for my train to arrive, Some people are sitting, some people are standing, Some people are just looking at the time. Waiting at the station for my train to arrive, Standing on the platform, looking all around me, Feeling the wind, as my words brush me by. Coz I’m late for work again oh on, Oh dear, what should I do? It doesn’t matter the time, it doesn’t matter the place Because what seems to happen is I’m always late. Running from the station got to get to work on time. Haven’t left yet by 8:30, takes me half an hour, Above all I have to be at work by 9. Running from the station coz my bus has just passed by, It all comes to those 5 minutes, maybe I can win it. Why can’t I just be more organized? Coz I’m late for work again oh on, Oh dear, what should I do? It doesn’t matter the time, it doesn’t matter the place Because what seems to happen is I’m always late. Entering the station getting picked by three guys. Truly complimented, but I haven’t even entered, Just want to go home not looking for a ride. Entering the station I am early and satisfied. Oh I think that I just might get an early night, And maybe for once I will get up on time. Coz I’m late for work again oh on, Oh dear, what should I do? It doesn’t matter the time, it doesn’t matter the place Because what seems to happen is I’m always late. Coz I’m late for work again oh on, Oh dear, what should I do? It doesn’t matter the time, it doesn’t matter the place Because what seems to happen is I’m always late.

Last Drop 02:56
Last Drop/Shani Weiss One is for the last drop of water in the pond of sighs and woes Two is for the first day together soothing all of our sorrows And even though the road is winding And the future seems unclear I know that you’re beside me And I can conquer all my fears One is for the sudden winter’s day in autumn No one could foretell and see Two, no one but you can tell the way I’m feeling about you now And even though the road is winding And the future seems unclear I know that you’re beside me And I can conquer all my fears Oh where ever the wind will take me now I can finally drift in peace Oh where ever my song will take me now I can open my eyes and see That even though the road is winding And the future seems unclear I know that you’re beside me And I can conquer all my fears

Sunset Journey/ Shani Weiss I never knew happiness like this In a world where people almost search for pain Eye-opening and breathtaking fascinating and absolutely amazing You can almost go insane Some say that happiness is a warm gun But I think that all you have to do is just look up at the sun With all my belongings on me I’m far from home and I’m all alone But I’m happy I wish I could capture this sunset before it fades away Night will come stars will glow My arrow will show me where to go It’s all the same and then again it’s all completely different It’s peaceful and quiet no worries mate I’m not yet ready to go back home again

How Does It Feel?/Shani Weiss How does it feel when you walk through the door, And you’re not really sure that tonight is good for you? How does it feel when you walk down the hall, And you cling to the wall still fighting what you choose? And emotional rollercoaster, In an abandoned soul that always leaves you cold. But at least satisfies the most of what you think you are, But you have gone too far. How does it feel when he kisses your lips, When he touches your hips when he lies all over you? How does it feel when he takes of your dress, When he touches your breasts, when he flies right into you? And emotional rollercoaster, In an abandoned soul that always leaves you cold. But at least satisfies the most of what you think you are, But you have gone too far. How does it feel when you’re lying in bed, thoughts running in through your head, As you light you ciggerate? How does it feel when you put on your clothes, after being exposed And he hands you down the check? And emotional rollercoaster, In an abandoned soul that always leaves you cold. But at least satisfies the most of what you think you are, But you have gone too far.

This is My Home/ Shani Weiss When I have finally found the path that leads to the sacred place of happiness When I have finally found the place that fills up the whole that is my emptiness Even though it’s cold and dark This is my home All of my energies accumulate To that one single second that will set my fate Boots of leather and a long black whip Wont time me Even though I cut and bruise This is my home Oh loneliness can lead to crazy places If you can’t help me I’ll be lying faced down Oh loneliness can lead to crazy places If you can’t help me I’ll be lying faced down Even though I wait too long And even though I lose my grip Even though I cannot cum This is my home

Nomi 04:31
Nomi/Shani Weiss Sleeping at the edge of my peapod Far away from everything. Coz I’m feeling at the end of my tether, Why does it have to be so hard? Hoping that today will be different, Something I’ve never ever known Knowing that this is what I’m living, Starts to make me feel a little old. Maybe it will all get better, do you think that? Maybe it will all stay the same and maybe it will, Maybe it will all get better, do you think that? Maybe it will all stay the same, stay the same Wanting to make something different, Of this god forsaken place Placing all my thoughts that I’m thinking Locked in a box in my head. Maybe it will all get better, do you think that? Maybe it will all stay the same and maybe it will, Maybe it will all get better, do you think that? Maybe it will all stay the same, stay the same
