We Come Right

We Come Right
Under this
Let it all come wrong
Buried well
It goes on, it goes on
Lie as you want
Make a furnace strong
Howl all you want
Baby arms
Lucky one,
Soon to be no more,
How many ways
Have I lured you on
Waited all night
For the day to come
You alone
I alone
We come right
We come right
Under branches
Of pitch and pine
Sap your strength
Didn’t miss this time
Carried your voice
Over deep ravines
Soaked your love
In gasoline
You alone
I alone
We come right
We come right

Broken Wing

Broken Wing
The human sounds
We make come close
To falling out
Our mouths
No more words
Your breathing slowed
Losing you
To the sound
Cool as you want
Tall as you please
Be my broken wing
Be my broken wing
Pulled out my heart
For all to see
Be my broken wing
Be my broken wing
Nights so long
I needed all to be strong
Waded in to the thoes
Out to the breach
Kept it out of our reach
Stole what hope could grow
Cool as you want
Tall as you please
Be my broken wing
Be my broken wing
Pulled out my heart
For all to see
Be my broken wing
Be my broken wing

Come On Chaos

Come On Chaos
Led to the steps
On lion’s breath
I’ve never seen your
Blood so clear
It’s been a ride
Move like a sea
Unsteady feet, holding
Fast to memory
Gone with the tide
Silence follows silence
Coming up out of the well
Silence won’t be silent
Come on chaos, give me hell
You’re at my side
Leave me, I’ll decide
Fall came in waves
Sun-starved days
Melted into open roads
Snaking away
For this I’d give
Myself away
Turn me to another course
One I can claim
Silence follows silence
Coming up out of the well
Silence won’t be silent
Come on chaos, give me hell
You’re at my side
Wake up lazy eyes

Parasite
At once the lights
All changed
Abandoned the war
Back to orphans again
No medals, no more
My wishes came out of your mouth
My buttons came out of your bank account
When I looked you up
You were down on your luck
When I came to you, crawling
Could I be your parasite
Never too soon
To get back to you
Now I come to you crawling
Could I be your parasite
We talked about the moon
All it’s disguise
The roof wet with dew
Held on tight
Your parents never let on
They heard our feet on the
Asphalt
When I looked you up
You were down on your luck
When I came to you, crawling
Could I be your parasite
Never too soon
To get back to you
Then I came to you crawling
Could I be your parasite

Chambers In The Canopy
Eyes are playing tricks on me
See figures in the branches
Window frame, amphibian,
Feathers underneath my skin
Nerves are shredded endlessly
I cannot trust the shadows
Sound of every turning leaf
Adding to the clamour
Perfect day reflected on my wall
I try to trace it
All I got was paint under my nails
And bleeding fingers
Echoes of the birds are building
Chambers in the canopy
Catching flies and hammering
Our teeth together endlessly
All I ever wanted was to be your
Ready fire escape
Holding fast against your walls
No one falls, I know my place
All the night I walked the streets of
Distant towns I’ve never been
Wrote my name on every sign
Show you the way back to me
Holding on, forgotten days
I should have read the warning signs
Throw your mattress out the window
Be my safety net this time
All the night I walked the streets of
Distant towns I’ve never been
Wrote my name on every sign
Show you the way back to me
All I ever wanted was to be your
Ready fire escape
Holding fast against your walls
No one falls, I know my place

Gold Leaf & Amethyst
She says ‘you’re taking away
All of the comfort of strangers and
I know you’re not scared.
I know you’re not scared.’
And on a night like no other
The street lights glisten and shudder
They show you they’re not scared
Of what may be out there
Some day, look back on this
Gold leaf and amethyst
Long for the days you never thought you’d miss
She’s staring out to the sea
To all the places she could be
Far from the hum drum
The bright lights of London
She says ‘show me the money,
I need to feel some kind of freedom,
I need to feel something.
I need to feel something.
Some day, look back on this
Gold leaf and amethyst
Long for the days you never thought you’d miss
You shiver and shake
It always ends this way
Go sell all your jewellery and
Get on the train

Connecting The Fireflies
Straight up for the race
Parting the waves
Amnesty on your mind
Soldier on
Without your meals
Cornered a final thorn
Stayed too long
For any address
Calico wrapped round your neck
Hands at your heels
Feeling the faults
Bleached into the boardwalk
Lie still my starry eyes
Connecting the fireflies
Blinded by the page
Caught by the wind
Up to my shins in the silt
Standing still
Call it a day
All in a days work
Lie still my starry eyes
Connecting the fireflies
All eyes on you tonight
Connecting the fireflies

Miracle Child

Miracle Child
Should I go on again today
We tear ourselves from the eyes
Of the falling frame
Should I praise all the chaos we made
Didn’t pull on your tail just to
See if it would come away
Watching the waves that break
Grow bigger by the day
At least it always seems that way
Hey, but you’ve always been a miracle child
Some put a mark on you I knew you wouldn’t mind
Hey, but you’ve always been a miracle child
All of your failings couldn’t fail you if they tried
You heard not a sound
All the whole night through as they
Dug a whole right under you
Searching the fibres and wires
Knitted in the vines
Catching most all of the time
Hey, but you’ve always been a miracle child
Some put a mark on you I knew you wouldn’t mind
Hey, but you’ve always been a miracle child
All of your failings couldn’t fail you if they tried
Watching the waves that break
Grow bigger by the day
At least it always seems that way

Perfect Silence

Perfect Silence
Pulled those bridges down
Made a perfect silence
Voices of unknown
Start to grip my mind
Holding to the ropes for
Another round of
Weightless and hopeless
Taking my pulse again
Sealed into a dream
No escape from the darkness
The torment never sleeps
Shake my cage all the night
Don’t know what is real
What is trust without waking
I must be done here
I can no longer sleep
Pulled those mirrors down
It’s the staring eyes that
Hold me in their sights
Every time I try
To turn this ship around
Against the swell
Don’t fight it
Go where the wind goes
Throw off the holding ropes
Slow down some, it won’t get
Fixed til it falls apart
Now you’re on your own
Take courage in a new start
Cos no-one knows you like I do
It’s the little things
That hold us all together
When the cracks start appearing
I could be made to stay
If I knew what kept me
I must be leaving
Couldn’t explain a thing
