Dirty

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

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.

Sunset January
04:26
|

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.

I Got Nothing
03:43
|
|

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

Living With A Ghost
04:16
|
|||
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

The Dismal Tide
04:37
|
|||
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

The Edge of Death
05:02
|
|||
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

The Road To Fly
05:25
|
|||
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

Where I Crash Landed
05:48
|
|||
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
