Never Forget Who I Am
Inked on my skin
Delta, triangle form
For the change I want to see
The change I want to be
A question mark, curiosity
What is it today that I can be?
Not what I can't
I've been questioning all my life
And I'll keep question until the day I die
So I never forget who I am
So I never forget who I am
In the centre a cross
For the faith I have in my God
The faith that I want
In the centre of my life
In the centre of my mind
So I never forget who I am
So I never forget who I am
It could be a tattoo
But every day I choose
Change, faith, curiosity
These three things that define me
So I never forget who I am
So I never forget who I am
Again

Present
I'm sitting here and I ain't got nothing
Sitting here with a head full of pillow stuffing
Answer the phone, don't know what to say
Maybe it's important they'll ring back another day
But at least i'm present
Close the door cause I don't want to see you
Eat alone cause I don't want to be with you
Can't cope with making small talk
Lunchtime comes I'm going out for a walk
But at least I'm present
Sample
[Presenteeism costs the Australian economy $34 billion through lost productivity
WHAT?]
Don;t give a care about the GDP
Same as pollies don't give a care bout what's going on with me
If I'm not at work I'll just stare at the wall
If I'm not at work I'll get nothing done at all
I may be functioning at 30%
Took the other 70% to get out of bed
I'm proud that I'm here
I'm doing it tough
I'm just pleased that I'm well enough to be present
Yeah, I'm present
It's a big win to be present

Should Have Asked
I saw you down in the hole
Isolated, cutting yourself off
From those who would help
Trying to be strong made you weak
Trying to be strong made you exposed
I knew you needed help
From what was bringing you down
I should have asked
But I didn't know how
I saw you down in the hole
Isolated
I knew you needed help
From what was bringing you down
I should have asked
But I didn't know how

Stronger Than You Think
Home is your safe place
The walls keep the world out
Don't let it become your prison
You're stronger than you think
Stronger than you think
You can see what's in front of you
You can see it coming
Don't you doubt you can face
You're stronger than you think
Stronger than you think

New Normal
I got pain
Nearly every day
Ever since
My ligaments started giving way
Some days
It sits there in the background
Other days
It's more of a distraction
Anxiety
Has been with me for years
Ever since
I froze up talking to my peers
I wished
That I could run away
But ever since
It's been with me to stay
But that's normal
That's my new normal
Depression
Hit me like a truck
Made me say
"Oh... my goodness "
But that's normal
That's my new normal
It's hard to feel pain
When I'm hugging my kids
It's hard to feel sad
When my wife's giving me a kiss
Anxiety? That doesn't really matter
Cos I've found out that worse things can happen
But that's normal
That's my new normal

Have To Break Something
I gave my life to you
I follow where you send
So when you need me to change
Why didn't you take my hand?
Could have written in the sky
Could have spoke to me in dreams
Could have put words in my mind
Why'd you have to break something?
When you broke my body
When you broke my will
(you broke my arrogance and my pride)
When you broke my mind
You left me with nothing
(but grace)
Could have written in the sky
(would I have even looked for you?)
Could have spoke to me in dreams
(would I have even listened?)
Could have put words in my mind
(but now I know)
Why'd you have to break something?
