nightmusic
There is music in the air, music all around us; the world is
full of it, and you simply take as much as you require.”
—Edward Elgar
night’s keen baton keeps perfect time,
to suck lithe rhythm and pastel rhyme
from heav’n’s nocturnal stores.
shrill crickets play their piccolos,
the bamboo—flutes the warm wind blows,
that echo on the shores.
owl bugles from dark caverns shoot,
as though, wide-eyed, they gave a hoot
who answers to their whoo?
frog tremolos at cadence-points
the evening’s gaiety anoints...
full of it, and you simply take as much as you require.”

The coldest season
Verse 1
I broke the walls...
I broke the walls..
enter into my mind's halls...
the end is nigh
I say with a gleeful sigh
goodnight kids, time to say goodbye
Chorus
The wind, cold, sweet, and alone
is my only guide back home.
Frozen blood in my veins
suffering through these growing pains.
The coldest season
dying for no reason
this feels like...treason...
Verse 2
Step inside and see the displays
nevermind the mess, it always stays
no matter what we do,
and let's not...
I broke the walls...
I broke the walls..
enter into my mind's halls...
the end is nigh
I say with a gleeful sigh
goodnight kids, time to say goodbye

is my only guide back home.
Frozen blood in my veins
suffering through these growing pains.

Edge of tomorrow
Verse 1:
Living on the edge of tomorrow
just to avoid my sorrow
can't wait until I can lay this pack
of sorrow and lies trying to break my back
Chorus:
Looking out into the sun
forgetting how this all begun
feeling like a cowboy who lost his way
drifting out with no way to stay
Verse 2:
Every day I feel the razor cut into my feet
but losing the blood is the only thing sweet
about the darkness that circles my head
promising to keep me well fed
with pain and deceit
it's the...

Lost in You
Whenever I come home from a long day at work
All that I want to do
Is to get lost in you
As my head is filled with your sweet laughter
All that I want to do
Is to dream about you
Yeah,
-Cause you’re the only one
that can light up my world
You’re the only one
that can lift up my soul
You’re the only one
that can make me feel whole
Cause you are the one I love- (Chorus)
When it gets hard to see what matters most
All that I want to do

No Gods, No Masters
v1:
I’m more estranged than stranger
more target than your mark
you’ve killed off all of Heaven’s Gods
just pretty wounds inside your dark
I’m more Jesus than the Virgins
I’m nailing sin upon a cross
pass the plate to fund your habit
don your smock to hide the toss
chorus:
(love me) though I’m just an object
(love me) though I wear your crown
(love me) prayers are never answered
(love me) tear this fucker down

Normally weird
Why fit in when you out fit?
Why stand in when you can out stand?
Questions, too much time on my hands.
No answers,
lies I told swirling in my head like dancers,
sensual and hypnotic,
being a star has become my only tonic
I'm weirdly normal,
and normally weird, how abnormal.
Should I stay in my own skin?
Or should I become someone else again?
Nah, I like this me,
weird has become the new normality
Not used to this confession thing,
but I really love the peace it does bring.
I'm a freak, the odd man out, ...

Hole in my Heart
Hole in My Heart
I feel like you were stolen from me
and to the one that took you from me
‘I hope that you are fucking happy
you’ve made me feel so cold and empty!’
And now there’s a hole
where you used to be
and now I feel alone
because you’re not with me
-You left me with nothing but pain
and you wouldn’t accept my pleads
I don’t know why you didn’t stay
did you find something wrong with me?- (Chorus)
I feel like you were stolen away
and to the one that holds you today
‘I hope that you choke and...

Radio Silence
When the quiet night gets you down.
You always like to take a walk in town.
Where you see young lovers walk around.
Holding hands and singing to the clouds.
You return home alone and you are found.
Sitting on your own without a sound.
There’s nobody in here to take you out.
So you turn to what always makes you feel drowned.
In the radio silence, the static takes your hand.
It carries you to islands covered in golden sand.
Oh, oh, radio silence, who’s coming through?
Carries along and holds on to you.
Drift in the...

Still Nowhere
Smear me, fear me.
Don't wanna get near me, cheer me.
I call you a crazy lady.
We'll fall in love baby, maybe.
Yeah, that's the right stuff.
Yeah, can't get enough.
But that's how it goes.
Make new highs and new lows.
Tapping my fingers to the beat of your shows.
Yeah, so?
That's what I mean when I'm in between.
A girl and the wall is still nowhere it seems.
Throw on a red dress.
Something to impress.
Babe, I'm not thoughtless.
I just need to top this.
Show what I'm made of.
Not what...
Don't wanna get near me, cheer me.

Plate of Lies
You once ignited me
but the flame from the fire is gone.
You never loved me
you wanted me out all along
You hardly showed me
the feelings that you hid inside
You didnt know me
and now it's just a waste of time
You wanted nothing from me
but I still gave you everything
You never needed me to breathe
and now I'm left with all this strain
Tell me why you did this to me
you left me hanging by a string
(Chorus)
You could've killed me
with the plate of lies you fed me ...
but the flame from the fire is gone.
You never loved me
you wanted me out all along
You hardly showed me
the feelings that you hid inside
You didnt know me
and now it's just a waste of time
You wanted nothing from me
but I still gave you everything
You never needed me to breathe
and now I'm left with all this strain
Tell me why you did this to me
you left me hanging by a string
(Chorus)
You could've killed me
with the plate of lies you fed me ...

Hello Darling
Tune in to me when you’re alone.
I will make my way to your home.
Wisp around you, float in your head.
I will sing to you when you’re in bed.
Hear my voice caress your ears.
Allaying doubt and all your fears.
Listen to my sultry voice.
And drift away into the noise.
When you awake I will be there just the same as before.
I am just the empty air hidden behind your door.
Hello, darling, I’m the music and song.
If you want me, I will never be long.
Over the years my body has changed.
I’ve grown smaller,...
I will make my way to your home.
Wisp around you, float in your head.
I will sing to you when you’re in bed.
Hear my voice caress your ears.
Allaying doubt and all your fears.
Listen to my sultry voice.
And drift away into the noise.
When you awake I will be there just the same as before.
I am just the empty air hidden behind your door.
Hello, darling, I’m the music and song.
If you want me, I will never be long.
Over the years my body has changed.
I’ve grown smaller,...

Tomorrow's Rain
Well, there's a place you hide.
Where your soul abides.
And it's deep inside your heart.
Where you'd take a ride, but your mind confides.
And it's not your pride, it's shame.
You'd rather go to that place called home.
But you just don't know, so you play your card.
When you're lost, unknown, and you're feeling owned.
And you've sold your soul to tomorrow's rain.
It may bring you pain.
You may say it's a shame.
But the fact remains.
You can't buy tomorrow's rain today.
No, I don't believe in the...

And it's not your pride, it's shame.

But you just don't know, so you play your card.
When you're lost, unknown, and you're feeling owned.
