Like Rain
The wind was howling your name
As stars fell through night skies, like rain
The ground, a heavenly white
Lone footprints thread a lace-like divide
The distant lights grew dull
As darkness deceived the glow into its lull
Beneath a bellowing skyline I implored, new reasons to hide
As I ached beneath the weight those already mine
Now there’s nowhere for me to go

If Only You Could Speak
Like a blistering sun might haze
Your midnight eyes
From a silent world it came
A love, I don’t understand
A love that wears me down
Now I’m sinking deeper still
And the blood might flow
Try to lose my grip try to stray
Outside, I just waste away
If only you could speak
I can hear you
Calling to me
Though so fierce you
Paint it so bleak
Like a blistering sun might haze
Your midnight eyes
If only you would sleep
I still hear you
Calling to me
Though so fierce you
Paint it so bleak

A Longing

A Longing
Daylight a veil to the eyes
The burden to be free
A longing for silence
Is weighing on me
Forever, oh what have I done?
Or what will I become?
Not clandestine not bright
Atone
For me
So lay back, make your mistakes
Let your mistakes make you
The longing, the violence
Atones (Ahhhh Ahhhh)
For me (Ahhhh Ahhhh)
So let go
And crush the need to feel
The cold lie
Stand tall
The crushing need to be
To belong
Stand down…

Grey Into White

Grey Into White
Out of the corner it slipped from my mind, fell into my eyes
Now if she were to go I don’t think I could ever cope
As if by mistake it fell from the ashes onto my plate
To touch, to taste
What had began as a night turned everything from grey into white
This I stole
And also I took from you everything that I could do
I took, I took and I took and I took, then I took some more
And you, you gave and you gave
How could I?
And you, you gave and you gave it all
So I said to myself
If I could do good by her
I might do something of worth
I may find this to be wrong
But I think I should try
So I pushed everything to the side
Said to myself this is do or die
And those who will push me to feign
Are those who have lost and have nothing to gain
They will never change
The weight that you took from my mind
It helped to hear, it opened my eyes
And not that you’d ever believe
I’ll never lose sight of the woods for the trees
So I pushed everything to the side
Said to myself this is do or die
And those who will push me to feign
Are those who have lost and have nothing to gain
They will never change

Sheltered
Don’t be scared
Place that hand on your eyes
And don’t ask why
If answers might lead you to lies
So break your mould
It only keeps you in the cold
A time to hold
A time to let everything go
And you will open you heart
For me it was easy and it’s always been so
So cause your scene
Without it life’s ever serene
Split from the seems
Hold to all you can be
And you will open you heart
For me it was easy and it’s always been so

Promises To Dust
I try to gain your trust
Seeking your acceptance
I try too hard
I’ll always keep this cross, safe and at my side
As ties begin to rust
We’re leaning and expecting
If time could hold
The thought of giving up the fear of going on
Seeking your acceptance
I play your stupid game
Play your stupid game
From promise through to dust
I follow your deception
I try so hard
To free myself from truth but it’s opening my eyes
But before we break the glass
Let’s give it some reflection, reflection
No words too cold
Seeking your acceptance
I play your stupid game
Play your stupid game
Play your stupid game
Play your stupid game
Play your stupid game
Play your stupid game
Seeking your acceptance
I play your stupid game
Play your stupid game

Alibi
Ever fading light
I’ll stare until I’m bright
Hoping for a sign
Drink your blood as wine
Pray all day then sin all night
Only a fool would ever slave to this love
I want you by my side
A voice in which I can confide
You can be my alibi
The emptiness in pride
Is as the moon unto the tide
Only a fool would ever slave to this love
Ever failing plight
Clench my knuckles white
Hoping for an afterlife
Only a slave would ever fool with this love
Only a fool would ever slave to this love

Release Your Hold

Release Your Hold
Hold close to me
So close you can feel my heart beat
Taste the tears you share with my cheek
And tell me…
The rewards of an undying patience
Fill the cracks in our crumbling relations
But this everlasting dedication ran out of steam
And needs to sleep
Count on a single thing
When not apart we’re soon to be parting
Oh this never-ending love and waiting has taken its toll
Release your hold
