trickling water by a fireside is a dream devoted to a man that lives this cry caught below in the chain of undying lights you’ll soon wake up to this never ending night you wanna walk down to the waterside you wanna dip your feet; stand by the shore you wanna turn back to the man you once yelt you had been before forests blazing for the company man ice caps melting but its global cooling it seems the ones we choose to take control of this land should be the ones taking notes and receiving a helping hand you wanna shake them until their head is void of contradictory statements and arguments but nothing will come of this, of that I am sure just an acceptance of a war greed and hunger may be riddle this life the rising death toll struggles to sound right but once you let this cloud fall over you you leave no space for the sun to break through you wanna spread your love all around the world hold hands together and sing in harmony we are special and pretty and quite lovely we are an act no-ones been before

Home; Alone. 07:05
the list of things to complete; the watered down beer and tv; in a language you can’t speak the sun reflects off metal skies; where the suit is life and demise; the endless act of rolling eyes in a room where she will lay; one day still and unafraid; you will fall but you won’t stay. cause what is life if you can’t choose; who is right to be abused? who is right to be with you? ruined songs and worn out books; dusty journals that you mistook; to be read aloud. with all her secrets laid out front; as a gift that she still does; want you to keep. no matter how hard you try to fall in love, it will not; be the same. cause once that box is ticked; you’ll see your growing list; and how is that appropriate? watercolours in her eyes; dust and gravel on your mind; the road is not as picturesque- as you would think; cause if it was you’d be the one playing to another song on the bridge where you got drunk with the family that was once. but now you’re home; alone home is not where you have known; now a street closer to what; you have tried to avoid. a bed for two, a heart for one. a broken love; a sinking sun. a cloud of smoke soon to be loved. loveless nights of drawn out fun; hardly remembered through all the fog; through all the thoughts. a promise you once had kept to yourself and all your friends; proves lost and dead. no matter how hard you try to stay on track, you stray far from the route you could be on but who am I, to tell you what is life and what is right, i'm just a dying light sticks placed upright in the sand, shells picked and kept to represent an isle that she’s been dreaming of; and she was close. instead she’s changing her whole life moving town, and greeting the night in a house with whom she thought would change for her but now they’re home; alone. a blank white sheet is definite; a painted mind is no accident; a life spent through mistaken eyes; is a life spent proving your own lies.

the trumpet has blown so we are finding out the rock a bye horse sways with the moon all the emblems you proudly display on your mantle resonate with the loneliness of the room so let me pull your face to the mirror don't let the glass fog up on my account stand back, relax, retrace your steps because without you i wouldn't exist i know the world has changed since you were king now it's hard to recover from the constant spinning theres less time in the day; theres less time to say what you need but while you're stuck in your daze, the world continues to amaze me so take a moment the notice the feeling of waking up in your castle so let the record play and sing the grounds not falling in the seas not drowning so let the record spin the trumpet has blown so now you've found out.

i wanna be 60 feet tall and gently caress the treetops i wanna sing a sweet lullaby to all the passer by to all the kites i wanna live under the sea and surround myself with beauty i'd love to try to catch a wave but the excuse will always be the same mount saturn rises; mount jupiter falls along with mount mercury; mount apollo theres no will; theres no thought; theres no conscious struggle just the hope and belief i'll keep myself full i wanna live on a train and be happy watching the terrain grow in colour and grow as if it will never ever cease to exist and i'd talk to the people near by not with my words, just with my eyes i'd ask them all the same question "where are you going? what has happened?" has the moon and the stars aligned with mars? is the line of your heart just not big enough? does fullness and length really give power? does confidence and strength really matter at all? is a ladder a ladder if you can't bear to stand? "you can climb all you like kid, you're not gonna make it" or are these all just signs of the tell tale hand? a figment of truth you'd like to exist?

meet me down by the railway station i've been waiting i'm through waiting for you the train sings the same kind of blues i don't know why i always trusted sometimes i think that i must have i must have been crazy crazy to wait on you, baby turned around and got pushed down, baby now I decided yesterday that I would leave you i'm alright please, i've been taking my time you know, it's been on my mind i hope you find a love your own designs of love that's alright i believe, I believe that I know you but it's been a long time now I've got to show you, that I well, I never did believe in time you're not changing anybody's mind now, i can't define love like it should be that's alright it's alright please, i've been taking my time you know, it's been on my mind i hope you find the love your own designs of love cause that's alright

i never thought I’d ever feel this way i held the compass within the map i walk shoeless across the grassy fields and sit beneath the cracks i see the sun it’s shining through to me illuminating everything within like all the questions about where I’ll be in 5 minutes or 15 years i stop and stare at the obvious the burnt orange and yellow hues where once a picnic blanket lay with me and only you i cannot remember everything only the profound feeling of joy of reading words that felt true to me in a moment that felt so sure it’s all too easy to get caught within i mean you gotta put yourself first but how would it be to find out all your worth and to disagree on principle and now I stand without a c i now stand without an e i stand without an ampersand between you and me calling bluffs and reminding sequences of black and white film of that time when we stood free by the open sea and I held you as the waves remained relentless but seemingly still it was a grip I thought could never fail i guess that’s still how it feels cause I still remember the taste of salt we’d drew from each other’s lips and the way we fell deeper within the rift well maybe that was the problem we have love, but are we martyrs? if one of us is destined to drown we must accept the fate of the other and we’d watch the flailing arms of our love sink deep, sink deep, sink deep and maybe just maybe, just maybe we would be relieved and now I stand without the sea i now stand without any i stand without an ampersand between you and me
