Bear
06:50

|
The glamorous bear took off her coat to sleep alone til morning
Wintery gloom of her hearts missed delight
It will wait for a new dawning
The sultry shadows of sobrieties past simmer in the dark
With new drugstores calling
Stumbling to another scratching post to find opiates
To numb the falling
Fly her to the moon Wipe her weary mind And her heart in this night
The light is coming soon Shield her sleepy eyes Pull her tight time to fight
Unaware she lies still and soft on the silken white snow
Time has ticked over the clock has flooded
This could be her last ever show
The animals watch their hearts in their hands
Hold on she’s rising again
Her body is weak this bear needs to sleep
This bear needs time to mend
Fly her to the moon Wipe her weary mind And her heart in this night
The light is coming soon Shield her sleepy eyes Pull her tight time to fight
She’s been sleeping in a cave for so long
Feeding on sadness no fight to go on
The shadows overtook around her
Her little heart stopped beating in the blur
Fly her to the moon Wipe her weary mind And her heart in this night
The light is coming soon Shield her sleepy eyes Pull her tight time to fight

Bones

You were once my muse
Laid out on the line
Drawing back your cigarette
You know we had our time
My words were all washed up
The tides they changed our hearts
Even when we were together
We were surely growing apart
Apart Apart Apart
The bones were laid bare
I thought my soul would tear
And you just took on up
In someone else’s bed
I cried till my eyes were all red and raw
So good luck goodbye
It’s time to close the door
Lines were drawn from our lips
To catch fights we couldn’t drop
Young lovers joined at the hips
The madness had to stop
Keep our thoughts in our heads
I had to make a new start
Even when we were together
We were surely growing apart
Apart Apart Apart
The bones were laid bare
I thought my soul would tear
And you just took on up
In someone else’s bed
I cried till my eyes were all red and raw
So good luck goodbye
It’s time to close the door

For Winter
05:09
|

The leaves fall picture perfect
Like you and me a life ago
Sense is heavy when you got no change
The winter winds will always blow
We park our feelings for winter
Firewood for dreams that will splinter
Let me hold on to the icy walls
To give me closure so I don’t fall
To give me closure so I don’t fall
Seasons change a cycle like life
One time cups the other in part
The good the bad the low the high
Some far from some close to heart
We park our feelings for winter
Firewood for dreams that will splinter
Let me hold onto to the icy walls
To give me closure so I don’t fall
To give me closure so I don’t fall
You had to meet your fairy tale
I built mine too a life apart
Like weather forecasts dreams too can fail
You can’t base something from end to start
We park our feelings for winter
Firewood for dreams that will splinter
Let me hold on to the icy walls
To give me closure so I don’t fall
To give me closure so I don’t fall

Heidegger spoke to us in dreams
When life was simple scream
We were so free We were so free
I can still taste the beer and the cigarettes
Being so drunk while trying to think trying to think
Do you remember Hungarian style?
Lambrusco and coke so sweet
We were so wild So wild and free
I never though such sickness would take you
At least those days were so unique so unique
No more pain
You inspire me to challenge myself
Everyday that you’re gone
I aspire to be
No more pain
You inspire me to challenge myself
Everyday that you’re gone
I aspire to be greater
You were sick I was busy I’m sorry
That I didn’t see you falling You falling
I went along to your funeral
I thought of you with your balloons so free now So free now
You were a constant source of joy
Always caught up with your boys so pretty So pretty
Sad to know you’ve gone away
I thought you’d be here to stay still fighting Still fighting
No more pain
You inspire me to challenge myself
Everyday that you’re gone
I aspire to be
No more pain
You inspire me to challenge myself
Everyday that you’re gone
I aspire to be greater greater greater
I never got Heidegger back
I like to think he’s with you there smiling
No more pain
You inspire me to challenge myself
Everyday that you’re gone
I aspire to be
No more pain
You inspire me to challenge myself
Everyday that you’re gone
I aspire to be greater

Leave

Prioritise commitment
What a loathsome draining pool
Oh self-pity sits lucid and tepid
Timidly playing you as the fool
Cry to yourself to be silly
The waves may shut your eyes tight
To the drooping scenery
Whinging and wining about your solitary
State of times
Please just leave me I can’t treat you this way
Or just let me leave you
You know I cannot stay
Binges of excuses lead to foolish seduction
That echoes the emptiness of lust
We elevate the skies and our lies
So we tragically wish to the dust
Depressing populous of ignorance
Don’t flatter me with your compliments
Because they don’t have any beauty
If you can’t see out of your own transparency
Please just leave me I can’t treat you this way
Or just let me leave you
You know I cannot stay
I apologise for not remembering to tell you
That I don’t like people in general

Princess
03:56

It doesn’t hurt to be sensitive I tried so hard not to cry
When you hurt me for the seventeenth time
Now I can’t stop thinking and counting the days from when you last gave anything to me
But they were few and far in between
I went through the ringer for you
But the thing is I came out quite clean
Why should I even take the time of day to talk to you
Because I’m too fucking good for you
I ran out the door when you said you’d take me back once more
I was so young and naïve didn’t know if I was going up or down
My words flew from my head like poems from a creepy hallmark card
But they were few and far between thankfully
I went through the ringer for you
But the thing is I came out quite clean
Why should I even take the time of day to talk to you
Because I’m too fucking good for you
So you don’t even want to be friends even though you said you would
Considering the circumstance I tried as best as I could to give you it all
But that wasn’t good enough
For the fucking princess
Well I got news for you
Because I went through the ringer for you
But the thing is I came out quite clean
Why should I even take the time of day to talk to you
Perhaps cause I’m too fucking good for you

Spirit

You wanted to be a star
We all have these grandiose thoughts and hopes
You were too young to depart
I’m too old to let go of the dreams we sew
Life as you knew it was tough
Your story is too sad to add up
Too much love gone bad
You died in a terrible war sweet soul
Your spirit goes on
Long after we’re gone
Your years were long
A wealth of fear
I didn’t know you
You disappeared
Rest child in sleep
I trust you have peace
Now you’re a hero in my eyes
You were trapped in there
Defenceless no hope
Now you are free
I promised to write you this song
To remember these sad endings
Your spirit goes on
Long after we’re gone
Your years were long
A wealth of fear
I didn’t know you
You disappeared

The Show

The grey sky above me
Won’t stop
It keeps raining pouring down
From the top
My head is hanging
My feet don’t seem to go
So take me down
Down to the show
Down to the show
I’ll paint my smile on
I won’t slip
I can’t seem to steer around
This sinking ship
My battle’s waning
I need to take another blow
So take me down
Down to the show
Down to the show
My eyes are falling out
I’ve lost grip
The glass in my hand
Cracks like a whip
My patience is swaying
Only time will help me grow
So take me down
Down to the show
Down to the show

Unicorns
03:51
|
|||
|
I imagine myself falling through the clouds into a garden of Mexican surrealists
No words are spoken here just pictures floating through the air drawn without needing to be chivalrous
The night is glistening and everyone is listening we all create this moment between us
No work just fun
The unicorns need to run
No work just fun
The unicorns need to run
We ride through the night
Our wings set alight
No names or cages
Our friendly faces
Just us across the seas
Setting our souls free
No work just fun
The unicorns need to run
No work just fun
The unicorns need to run

Empty Chasm
04:38
|
|||
|
An empty chasm instils its greed
Where the pangs of devotion feed
Comfort has been ripped
From the illusory bonds having been
Not really knowing how to feel
Experience until now has been hard learnt
There is nothing I can find to heal
This infection that creeps inside of me
The separation has begun
The rip escapes from being seen
Swept beneath a rusty machine
Grasping at the shell that tears
A hole bore in this soul less being
Not really knowing how to feel
Experience until now has been hard learnt
There is nothing I can find to heal
This infection that creeps inside of me
This addiction is eating from the inner stomach
Supressing the appetite bound in the attic
Drowning out the screams
Poisons please come bring me sleep
Slipping to the edges of my nightmarish dreams
Not really knowing how to feel
Experience until now has been hard learnt
There is nothing I can find to heal
This infection that creeps inside of me
