Maze of your heart
02:17

You got a lot of reasons and feelings for stealing
You got a lot of reasons for stealing
You can’t rob tears dry
You got a lot, you got a lot
Of love blocked
Stop
Playing the part that you’re lost in the dark
There’s a light in the maze of your heart
I got a lot of pieces, weaknesses and creases
I got a lot of pieces and creases
That need ironed out now
You got wishes you’re waltzing, assaulting, exhausting
You got wishes you’re waltzing
They’re all danced out now
You got a lot, you got a lot, you got a lot...
You got a lot of love...its love you got a lot of.....
You got a lot of reasons and feelings for stealing
You got a lot of reasons for stealing
You can’t rob tears dry

Yellow crumbs
02:51
|
|||
|
If I could pick up the pieces,
Of the yellow crumbs that fell beneath us
And taste their scented charms
I'd build bridge for you back to my arms
A drum beats strong a winter drum beats
Like the slow steps of the prodigal son’s feet
Let there be no doubt
You can come back the same way you went out
Tears that fall on your cheeks
Freeze and
Don’t Leave and….
The bellow of a cello bound you
Somewhere a soft sweet violin found you
Let me be your bow
String me up and tune me up
Compose
An apple bruised loses its sweetness
The tree it falls from shows no weakness
The root of you‘s been harmed
Follow the yellow crumbs back to my arms

All through the night
I grumble at the lack of light
Mumble wrongs, stumble on rights
The Moon loses its Memory
Tall tower of bricks
Some days are built to mend and fix
What the night broke, this isn’t it
The Moon loses its Memory
Time minus time
Don’t match colours of your mind
With numbers or draw between lines
The Moon loses its Memory
And let it lose
And let it lose
And let it lose because you’ll gain
The strength to not dream this again
The Moon has lost its Memory

Thirst and water
03:19
|
|||
|
When only on ROSE grows
You still have to choose it
A hungry heart can beat still
Even in hands that feed it
I've got a match
Your tears and my shoulder
Your hearts growing cold
And mines getting older
It’l l come don’t shun
The sun just succumb to it
I'm wearing the coat
U said it would never suit me
I put on weight and stood up straight
To try and make it fit correctly
I've got a match
My thirst and your water
Your heart’s tight and taut
Mine’s tighter and tauter

Solid
03:00
|
|||
|
I didn’t protect you
Or reach out to hold you
When you asked me not to
That’s when I should come through
Baby if ever held you again
I wouldn’t let go until we were solid
Until we were solid
I spoke less too quickly
Before I knew it words left me
And I couldn’t make you see
I didn’t want you to leave me
Baby if ever held you again
I wouldn’t let go until we were solid
Until we were solid
To get out you must be in
To be forgiven you must sin
To end you must begin
To live you need loving
Baby if ever held you again
I wouldn’t let go until we were solid
Until we were solid

You stole December
December 12th
Every day since is
Out of synch
Bring it back now
Turn back time
I’m chasing hours
I’ll never find
You stole December
You tore the calendar
In two
You did what
No one else
Would do
If God exists
You thought you were him
With a twist
You committed sins
You stole December

Man of sand
02:56
|
|||
|
I am, I am, I am
A Man Of Sand
Deceived , defeated by conceit
I make my own bad luck
Like the marks on my torn shirt
I stand tall but stay stuck
On land while the sea
Is calling taunting me
I seek ships and their charms
But she holds me with bare arms
Like a lover whose care harms
The land and me
Being taunted by the sea
You gave me moonlight
I watched the waves shine
And dreamed your tide would soon be mine
The pulse of my weak heart
Beats between my stop/starts
Preparing to embark
Something holds me
Still taunted by the sea

Morning
03:21
|
|||
|
In a shed of broken bits and bobs
I built my devil, made my God
In a cardboard box I stored
Dreams I kept but still ignored
When I begin to shed my skin
I hope you’ll stay around until the
Morning
My eyelids are tired
From looking at the city lights
My senses are for hire
I'm selling them if the price is right
When I begin to shed my skin
I hope you’ll stay around until the
Morning
The days and the night meet up
And hours and weeks turn into dust
And months freeze and years stand still
I hope you’ll stay around until the
Morning

There’s no room for disappointment
Place a letter on my front porch
Place a letter on my front porch
If your scent ascends I’ll know the true source
Telling me the destination of the star
You soon will follow
If you’ll allow I’m sure I’ll follow
There’s no gain in playing life simply
And there’s no shame in living risk free
But if you need to run from sorrow
And you don’t mind your dreams being borrowed
Please tell me the destination of the star
You soon will follow
If you’ll allow I’m sure I’ll follow
The trouble with love if you look it won’t find you
If you’ve got an empty cup then fill it
You’ve only got one life then live it
Place a letter on my front porch
Leave a trail of crumbs to your course
Telling me the destination of the star
You soon will follow
If you’ll allow I’m sure I’ll follow

Basement

Heading south
Like a devil on the stairs
I hear your footsteps
I know you're there
There's a monster
In my basement
He's got features
Like me but slightly different
He's taking over
He's taking over
He's taking over
There's no lines
To draw or cross dear
I've got my own cross
These lines are spears
There's a monster
In my basement
He's got features
Like me but slightly different
He's taking over
He's taking over
He's taking over
There's no one
Not you nobody
To say I love you to
To say I'm sorry
There's a monster
In my basement
He's got features
Like me but slightly different
He's taking over
He's taking over
He's taken over

Silver as mercury
02:43

As silver as mercury
There’s an itch in my blood
A glitch in my brain
A click in my head
A sick metronome playing
I can’t stop. I can’t stop
Causing hurt causing pain
Not enough people love me
Not enough people love me
I’m silver
As silver as mercury
There’s poison in my pores
A cancer at my core
A sickness I adore
Give me more, give me more
I can’t stop. I can’t stop
The same game as before
Not enough people love me
Not enough people love me
I’m silver
As silver as mercury
I can’t keep in my skin
It boils and begins
And burns its way in
To my soul like a sin
I can’t stop. I can’t stop
The shock of knowing what I’m not
Not enough people love me
Not enough people love me
I’m silver
As silver as mercury

Burning coal
03:20
|
|||
|
Stuck in no time
Between day and night
Like burning coal, burning coal
Falling, falling into snow
Hear me call
It’s not my fault
The only law
The only law I broke’s my own
There’s a high tide
My pride tried deny
Like burning coal, burning coal
Falling, falling into snow
I told the sun
It shined It shun
When my shadows run
I hope I see what I’ve become
Remind my blind mind
To re-define its crimes
Like burning coal, burning coal
Falling, falling into snow

Lay low for awhile
02:50
|
|||
|
Lay low for awhile
Try to find peace try to unwind
Become someone new
Believe in something true
A head-rush of bad stuff
A crooked mile
Lay low for awhile
Lay low for awhile
Escape the in and the outside
And rest your head down
Where there’s no time where there’s no sound
Close your eyes for awhile
And stop your tired trying
To become someone new
To believe in something true
A head-rush of bad stuff
A crooked mile
Lay low for awhile
Lay low for awhile
Lay low for awhile

Similes & metaphors
02:54
|
|||
|
We fit like two people that fit
We click like two people that click
Out of the blue like something unexpected
Cutting me off like something intercepted
You and me seem to be like two people in love
Similes and metaphors pale when compared to your skin
We kiss like 2 people that kiss
We stick like something with glue on it
And a song like something you might sing
Comes along like something arriving
You and me seem to be like two people in love
Similes and metaphors pale when compared to your skin
With a flick, with a flick of a switch
I’ve been hit by what you’ve hit me with
Take me on a trip, a journey somewhere further
On a ship like something floating on the water
You and me seem to be like 2 people in love
Similes and metaphors pale when compared to your skin
