Sometimes    Something good    Needs understating to be understood    Needs towing back from the cliché status    That empties meaning from the phrases    Used so often - once they held    The singularity of the bell    Used so often - once they held    The singularity of the bell       When words on overtime ring false cheer    Cos everyone's saying them, it numbs the ears       Picking up catchlines    The wrong word at the wrong time    Lost your future friends    The wrong word at the right time    Started up a trend    The right word at the right time    Is only in your head    Is only in your head       Sometimes    Something bad    Needs overstating in a sense gone mad    When pain fear and grief    Become too easy to believe    Then the feeling isn't coming through    When we daily consume oversimplified gloom    Reported by strangers    We fear anything we're not set to receive    And feel alienated       So when someone's pain    Gets in our faces    We need to hear    Different phrases    That we can believe    That we can believe    That we can believe       What kind of worlds have we created    Where basic feelings need re-creating    To avoid the perceptions of fiction and cliché    Being received?    How long before via screen mentality    Will we all forget how to tell the reality    Apart from the act? There's the duality    Careful how you feed
