no gods will deliver the news
no point in seeing their views
they don't understand me and you
the won't ever let you choose
they lit up bright
held hands tight
marched by side
into the night

soulless, the emptiness stays
soulless, just counting the days
soulless, can't lift the grey
soulless, I've lost my way

Clockpain

I'm down all the days
she makes ripples, she leaves waves
and there never really was much to gain
the seconds administer clockpain
I'm down all of the days
neither madness nor method in her ways
and I never ever saw her again
her final gift to me was her clockpain
leave with nothing
memories fading
keeps us drifting
clockpain no gain

I'll meet you by the london bookshops
we'll haunt the railway lines
some drinks inside the ferry building
we'll stick to table wines
we'll strike a match we'll make a wish
and blow out all the rest
and then we'll break a bottle of scotch
and do what we do best
we'll drink a scotch, we'll celebrate
it's nineteen eighty five
we'll put on a face, we'll stumble home
grateful we're alive
will you stay there with me too?
we'll make it last for me and you
won't you stay here with me too?
and be the girl that I once knew
I'll meet you at the ferry building
we'll gamble away for two
we'll meet up by the london bookshops
and we'll do what we do

we walked the path where lovers once lay
moonlight lights up your face
the tree branch shadows cast a maze
all her movements filled with grace
that feeling was you

Autumn Glance

if you don't give heart to someone soon
you won't have any heart left to give
if you don't open your eyes to reality
you won't have a reason left to live
I've seen you go about your quiet life
those blue eyes fading fast
wrapped up in your loneliness
you've been left for last
you're wearing winter as your coat
but you're left out in the snow
a bitter taste is in your throat
and you don't know where to go

Don't Look Back

some days you get so lonely you could die
tomorrow's another day they always sigh
it's nice to know that they believe that lie
they never seem to wonder why
but I need to keep my days in check
they go so fast you soon forget
there's no me and you, only me
abandoned places
empty spaces
that's the way it's meant to be

I'm a sucker for your love
I'm just an insect trapped in your glove
I'm a train wreck in your pale blue eyes
and of course you've got me down to size
I'm the dirt beneath your leather boot
that cold smile of yours always leaves me mute, so mute
I'm spread so thin I hardly ever sleep
I think I'm yearning for some body heat
I'm the grime beneath those red hot nails
oh how you crush me like a helpless snail
you're my darkest crush my dear
I doubt you even know I'm here
the phone book is my only friend
I'll find your details in the end

Moon Fox

silver fox
bring us to our knees
a million souls
do as you please
the frost coats the rose
as twilight nears
the whisper of the woods
the silver fox hears
the jury leers
there's dust within their hearts
the faces in the floor
slowly tear us apart
hand prints on the door
a path through the woods
its shadows roam
there's lust within its heart
when the moon is high
fragments of its soul
still haunt us here
the guilty know

Keeps Falling
04:33

the vagabond cries checkmate
carries a stick upon his back
he's chased by an animal
a feather in his hat
a rose in one hand
he's somewhat outnumbered
he's somewhat so liminal
he's the lowest of the lowest trumps
the fool signifies the flesh
living his sensitive life
the jaws of a crocodile
offset to compliment the void
changes are slowly coming
neither or otherwise met
he's seemingly oblivious
edging to the precipice

Ophiuchus
02:51
|

|
there's a child in me forever scared
there's a child in me forever lost
seems I've spent my life stumbling blindly
while losing loved ones in the darkness behind me
as close as we are we're always alone
we never find our way back home
if there's a lesson in life it's to let go
it's better off learning how to say no
