Hold me whilst I let you go
Stepping on the line
Your heart is like a stranger
your eyes show answers to questions I don't want to ask; so I turn away, pretending its all in the past, coz I'd sooner be....missing things - than missing you
There's a rising tide of fury shouting 'Freedom' in my face. They say I'm free to hold my tongue, that I'm free to know my place.
Songwriters Anonymous - group therapy for the musically obsessed - who turn everyday into a song.
And I'd ask for one thing only, as you look to the expanse / For you to take a moment and give yourself a second chance
We're fallen angels, left to our demons - they'll clip our wings, though you can't see them
I'm reaching for you, will I reach you in time. We all hide away sometimes, just leave a trail for me to find
So I'm still here - bruised and battered; Blood stained sleeves and scars that matter
He turned in upon himself; couldn't find a soul to help
Shadows form as the light dims - And you know you could let them in
I held out my hand to you, but I wanted nothing more Than you to reach out to me, and lift me from the floor
When the anger is a torrent The gulf between us now a sea Can we swim against the current To the bridge 'tween you and me
and the light that they said would never go out; is dimmer in the shadows of this new found doubt
They felt it in the underground, it burst into the mainstream/a feeling that we lost is found/no longer just a daydream
The city she feels it, this life is kinetic/these streets are a heartbeat, her soul is magnetic
Like a heart and its beat/that skips each time we meet
that the days I thought I wasted, was life taking me somewhere new.
that the days I thought I wasted, was time taking me somewhere new.
She said we were a pair of two halves/one of light and one of dark.
A thousand paths lead from here, A way ahead not always clear, but if you free your heart to steer, a changing world is not to fear
When the people are divided and the cracks begin to show/Their positions all decided, leaving you nowhere to go....then I will point you home
When the people are divided and the cracks begin to show/when the bridges burn between them, making islands of their souls....then I will point you home
But shadow is just hidden sun, so lets go find where we belong
But shadows are made by sunlight, so lets go see if we can find it
If times are gonna change us / I'll embrace the chaos
When the cities run to silence and the doors begin to close / When your world starts feeling smaller but the distance starts to grow
If you've got love to spare/give it away, it's painless/With so much hope to share/Why can't it be contagious
In the space between us (hope may grow)
If tomorrows almost here (today can be a memory)
One clock running - one standing still; one hand moving - one waits until.....
It took all this distance to feel closer; I can't offer my hand but here is my shoulder
There's cold comfort in these possessions; it took isolation to make connections
Your sacrifice is my protection, you'll see it in my hearts reflection
and let it flow above your head, like a stone upon the river bed/there's time for tomorrow - time for atonement, just take every second of this stolen moment
....then let go - time is not your opponent; use every second of this stolen moment
Prophets lose their voices and we only hear false sages as the seas start to boil and the forest fire rages
A targetless bullet; A careering disaster - A joyriding tourist, a glass house stone caster
Head Down, Foot Steps, Break Neck Speed/No Time, Keep Right, Am I Free?
but though our hearts beat in time/Life is short
'Coz love is the life you grab as it passes
and shake this numb feeling so I can feel it
and I'll believe I am worth every risk
I'll ride every wave; I'll mean every kiss
Play the cards as they're dealt/to stick or to twist
You threw me a lifeline - something I could call mine. Now I see all the fears that I fed all those years - they no longer matter somehow
"I got yesterday's questions on my mind; I got tomorrow's answers still to find"
You left this world a better place; faced time with such poise and grace
Running so fast, looking over my shoulder; another step forward, another day older
Well I'm never gonna change your mind/with a mouth so cut and dry
I'm never gonna change your mind; but it doesn't mean that I won't try/we find our strength in the fight and in the end we both can't be right
You can keep the raised voices and all the wrong choices, but There Ain’t One Kiss I’d Wanna Take Back
A hope to be loved - could never be enough, but..
I knew we had to change but you wanted us to stay the same
This was never my intention/Same path, different destination
I burned for you-i'll give you that/The hotter the fire the quicker the ash, but
We can mourn what was taken, but a heart is made by its breaking...and
Different people then/I wouldn't let you love me again -but....
There's a freedom in you captured/a lost lovers epitaph
In the fiction of a frozen moment; is every reason that it couldn’t last
Each Scar is a Path
Loving you was easier than loving me; An echo of you was all I could see
Hey phoenix - when you gonna rise? I burnt my fingers in the ashes that you left behind
Time has it wings, just one look and I'm back there; holding my breath whilst you tell me you care.......but not enough
an open ending
(Someone so rare) and now you've made me care; breathing life into - a soul I'd striped bare / that had turned from this world - that was more grit than pearl; but now that you have it - its yours to keep girl
This Chemistry; Is Giving Me
Because you're not her and I'll never be him/We can't be sinners until we sin
You perfect lines framed in a silhouette/ I realise we ain't even halfway done yet
Just a ghost of a smile, but it haunts me; Just a stolen glance, but it taunts me
magnetic look/electric touch - dry mouth whisper/heartbeat rush
Bless these scars - they make this heart;
You held every breath that you stole from me; moments that will last for an eternity
He knows he has to be brave, tells himself there will be another way/On his side is the love that wakes, to help him take all he's got to take
and break the chains/free from pain/she will take back her world again.
if let in/and so begins/brighter days on a brand new path
..that comes and goes - and she still knows - that a life is worth all the scars
It’s all too much; it’s not enough – I can’t grant the wish that’s made tonight - with all my love; but she’s so tough – and stars don’t fall when they’re this bright
It’s all too much; it’s not enough - I can’t grant the wish that’s made tonight with all my love; but she’s so tough - and stars don’t fall when they’re this bright
She’s had more life than she’s had years; drank in hope to drown those fears/she still believes
She dreams of a night sky, carried home by starlight She Believes/She’s Breaking Free
she'd dreamt that she was on a stage; reading lines from a fresh white page
The whole world could just melt away, every ounce of her strength would still remain
I told them I'd fallen - they helped me to climb. I asked for a moment - they gave me their time.
One more time you will sing along/ you know the words....you know they're wrong
Shed this blame like a second skin; letting all the light flood in- Coz its not just forgiving you; its learning to forgive me too
but all these roads of the restoration/leave me yearning to be led astray
Where the world can stop spinning for a moment or two; and remove this blindfold thats hidden the truth
Might stay aflame; burn this all down. Or maybe I'll flicker; let these words blow me out
I will watch the wave break the horizon; while I make antidote from this poison
I'm tired of the broken breaths, the evil eyes, the epithets/So I will push them to the past; turning for the sun at last
From these watchtowers of my indiscretions; only these open skies hear my confessions
Lost in these mountains of mounting regret, In time you will become the biggest of them yet.
And as false prophets plead patience; the angels of reason sit in silence
So sit with your sorrow or fly with no care/It's no longer your journey - its how I get there
This is not submission, this is not a retreat; It's the light of the morning when I set myself free
I've got an eye; you've got a tooth - I got your lies; you got my truth
Revolutions for the young; let them turn the world over.
I was blunt and you were cut; deeper that I thought. And as my blood ran hot -you spat across the floor
Once my anger burned so fierce; it left ashes in my tears
FIRST LINES OF BRIDGE - The iron in our blood was forged in the same stars/and in the end the Earth takes back everything we are
And if we trespass the horizon/the heavens will forgive us
With untold dreams/we're facing the night
Icarus racing the coming of night
We dream in the shadows; we're the focus of the night
We're all kissed by the same sun/the moonlight comes for everyone/we all wish on the same stars/these lights that shine are all of ours
A beacon on the clifftops; let the light bring me home; to feel your earth between my fingers; to feel your courage in my bones.
In the darkest times you can lose your sight; but all these shadows are created by light; step out, dear one, your world is bright
You think your destined to live life blue? I will bring the colours - show you it isn't true
You're haunted - I see it ripple under your skin; there's a battle yet raging, let me help you win.
If we travel the same orbit we are destined to not meet; as we hurtle through the cosmos your forever out of reach
Winters epoch a blood moon reverie
In the arms of memory thawed by the warmth of empathy
A maelstrom of uncertainty
Hey there sleeve-heart - it's just A world that's fallen apart; Come now hope-blind - there's so many more for us to find
Faces are blushing; turned from my pleading; whist I kneel here trying; just waiting for something
A treatise on the modern phenomenon of having the time to be busy
Like a small town tyrant with big city shoes; a pent up rent-a-friend with everything to lose
Whose sequined tongue spills jewels and turns my bad blood blue
focus on the mechanics of breathing/try and stop all the colours from bleeding
and the horizon is a memory that can't be bought to view
replayed scenes of heart sleeve drama/I got Caesar's back and tin foil armour
Conceived, reprieved, denied
I won't be a passer-by/to the days of my own life
I cannot articulate/what is a twist of fate
This life rushing on by/like time was meant to fly
A traveller out of time/getting ready for one last try
I got Pipe-dream tendencies/ emotional dependencies/a heart in the acsendency and my own path ahead of me
I'm not a bad guy, but I'm not a good man/ I have a 1000 schemes but I haven't got a plan/If you could give a sh"t then I could give a damn/if the world would just stop turning I could show you who I am
Fourth Wall breaker/third wheel maker/second chance taker/first world player
I'm everywhere but where I should be/all I have is this snake oil remedy
So I take the time to trip the life sarcastic/burning through paper - living on plastic
A targetless bullet; A careening disaster - An atomic tourist, a stoned house glass caster
Bouncing off the walls, I wonder if they're padded/neurotic egotist, with complications added
And once in the depths of this introspection/I cannot get a hold of my concentration
I got my hands on some time - but I don't know what to do with it; I got some walls to climb - but I don't know whats the benefit
The city she feels it, that life is kinetic/the streets lead me to her, her soul is magnetic
I got yesterdays questions on my mind; I got tomorrows answers still to find
I've run a 1000 miles, but only in a circle; an end and a beginning - a truth so universal
The dawn is brightest after the darkest day
A synapse, a string, a muscle memory/A connection unbroken in perpetuity
When you travel at the speed of light/You change all that you are/ Can't look back, can't look back
When everything that’s solid ripples underneath, and the smallest waves you cannot see still form under your under feet. If the greatest minds to live speak of lifes duality, can you really be surprised that its always you and me.
The sea fret clears to Mackrel sky/On the day all England cried/You could have looked me in the eye/You could have let me live the lie
I can see you walking in the garden with only one shoe by the water / And I see you sitting in the long grass in the picture by the mirror
So we scream into the cosmos, begging for a call; but all we get are echoes of our lives before the fall
Stop...Breathe...Look Up
When the night sky finally shows us - its already come to pass. As is the meaning of reflection when trapped inside the glass
A breathless whispered conversation; The call to arms to make you stay
Because in the end its called addiction/we both know we don't have a say
A spark of hope formed deep in his belly (you know the one - it wobbles like jelly)
364 days of slacking/leaves an old mind slowly cracking
A legend, a shadow, a world apart/Just another lover of a broken heart
Whislt the wild hunt raged, when demons scorched the earth; bones hewn from the ice - a true northerners birth
I ain't a bad person, just not a good man - Trapped in the turning of the hourglass sand
Time is it's own force, like driving a wild horse galloping its own course
Throw the salt of all the oceans over your shoulder/The tears will taste the same as you wipe them away
And i'll find no solace in the moon/because she's always gone too soon
I'm carried by the sweet breath of your hushed &amp; honeyed words
Its just demons in the detail, the devils in the introspection/Angels caught in fleeting glances and only on reflection
Caught out in the valleys of your ups and downs, left stranded with the echos of what I found
Sequined tounge spills jewels - turns my bad blood blue
