Dirty 02:18
Alien light to what I know Orion's stars and a broken bow Paint her names on your cityscape Pray to the sky to carry me home Its different now, I cant see your face Yet inside, I'm still alone

Bleed Eternal (free) 06:20
For nightmares we should sleep Not find ourselves midweek at a computer With a heart shaped black hole, dry mouth and a glimpse of your suitor A stranger at first, with designs on your weak little thirst Words on your phone to your flesh and bone against a blind town You're part of the crowd Horses over the hill Their eternal bleed keeps running until The sky is dark, but it shows me the way To my lowest point, and here I will stay When was it going to start, a life of poetry and art? You gave me winters And a bed that's stone cold, wrapped in tales that you told since I knew you Did you wear that frown, when he laid you down? I often wonder. From station embrace, I look at your face and you say you are fine But you're always lying Horses over the hill Their eternal bleed keeps running until The sky is dark, but it shows me the way To my lowest point, and here I will stay Were you bored of me or just bored of your selfish mind Your curse was time, now that curse is mine Blazing hard in a summer dress but your life is a mess You should have confessed Oh, you're empty chest Now onwards I will go, with the scars I hope you know tell us apart.

Oh January The mockingbird even believes that The footprints you leave Are frozen in time like me Sure, I could pray or openly plead Cant see the wood for the trees Tell me why do they leave Putting it down To need The sun sets the scene The truth of books is lost on me because Frames are empty I pat down the dust from my knees Cant see the wood for the trees Tell me why do they leave Putting it down Oh January Cursed by your evil disease I'm lost in the midst of a sea And cold stars that hold me beneath The edge is a line of dead trees Two cant exist as a three Putting it down Sunset roses are flying at 40,000ft One thing I know is that will never again be you or me.

Blue light, blue light I'm a fool No one speaks, nothing at all I'm cold... The tidal night, fabric is torn A jealous burn to keep me warm Not old... Fuck this and fuck that Can you save me? I need you now The flower head fell to the floor To them I'm dead, to them I'm ignored Or worse Fuck this and fuck that Can you save me? I need you now Settle down and settle like the one Who failed you But found you out
5.
I thought I heard her name Dont let it happen again She's what the night is for All this happened before A song for the summer when you needed it the most Each to the other when you're living with a ghost She dreams the water light And haunts the roads at night A song for the summer when you needed it the most Each to the other when you're living with a ghost

She bought it well And went out dancing on the cinders She wore it well Made me heady like gin does She cast her spell And slowly blacked out all my windows Who am I? Pieces knocked down by a feather I don't know why There was such a change in her weather Down it swoops And disappears into the ether It comes in twos I miss lying beneath her Simple truths More than I could hope to teach her Who am I? Pieces knocked down by a feather I don't know why There was such a change in her weather Empty space And not quite happy ever after I forget her face And the sound of her laughter This dismal tide Makes me swim a little faster Who am I? Pieces knocked down by a feather I don't know why There was such a change in her weather I know I'll cry When I read her next letter
7.
The lights of home are blinking down But do they know me And whats to know now? All these hills I gathered 'round Life is only A secret I could never tell Mercy, hold me This blood is thinning out Thinking, blaming, things I could do without Rain streaks across the sky The edge of death, the cost of life Knowing whats good when its found Hold your questions And hold your ground Peace we find shouldn't make a sound The hum of static can be as soft as you'll allow Mercy, hold me This blood is thinning out Thinking, blaming, things I could do without Rain Streaks across the sky The edge of death, the cost of life
8.
The loneliest disciples Catch the Roman eye Dont believe in numbers, dont believe in time I rain, I rise I rain, I rise Holding off the steam With these edited scenes Bad landscape photography Single page topography The road to fly The road to fly I need to borrow your spark And learn to heal Out beyond the telephone wires and the endless hills I eat alone, and its how I sleep Like the snow covered dead house I stared at for weeks The road flew with sparks Seasons know where you are Cities raised the pylons Foster bleakest dreams You must be tolerant, but never be seen I rain, I rise I rain, I rise I need to borrow your spark And learn to heal Out beyond the telephone wires and the endless hills I eat alone, and its how I sleep Like the snow covered dead house I stared at for weeks The road flew with sparks Seasons know where you are Compose another postcard No longer a machine I'm just a piece of wasteland On a nameless street Before too long Here too long
9.
The air was heavy with water Turn around, you had changed If time is bricks and mortar Walls collapse and roof is strained At the meadows edge we made exchanges The soft escape of some pages For many years I tried to remember How you taste and what you fear Close the door or they'll know you're here Skylarks rain down their laughter Halo dark at the edge of my smile Motorway rides and planes come after You've escaped the trap of your crimes You escape the trap of your crimes I crash landed where I couldnt be seen Bury my dead and, they buried me Felt the rising of your whispered sea Never seen timing so perfectly

Atlas Pine 06:33
Caught my mind out on the western shore A coast I've only seen once When clemency heard that love was the law I realised what I missed the most Old moss and tin In the battle light Caught my mind down where river flows And tarnished starts look through the pines If days forget what the night before knows They orbit off behind our eyes Old moss and tin In the battle light Of skyglow You only miss what you'v known Safe paradigm When the tree is full grown Its time to die Caught my mind fall to the valley floor where tom tom houses sit in rows I'm bloodshot howling at the wind once more And seeing angels fuck the crows Old moss and tin In the battle light Of skyglow You only miss what you've known Safe paradigm When all the seeds are sown Its time to die Midnight thighs are never where you want them And atlas pines wont tell you when its Autumn time Machinery light giving off distortion I dream firelight, I dream with out caution You only miss what you've known Safe paradigm When the bomb is fully blown Its time to die
