The Motive Of Hope (2014) The World At Play Everyone’s a lens witnessing The world through different frames Of unique meaning As the aperture expands The simplest mistake is to chase what’s missing And never see the world at play Only one truth waits when we end this journey We’ll never have that chance again The silence escapes, it’s deafening Information haze All consuming haste The world in every frame The simplest mistake is to chase what’s missing And never see the world at play Only one truth waits when we end this journey We’ll never have a chance again I long to find simplicity I need I long to find simple things The Motive Of Hope Hear her frozen thoughts Thawing on the inside Addicted reasoning Season dark holes lurking Enchanted riddles chance Breaking through her security But wordless poetry Fills her hearts of prisoners Hope, is here by my side She’ll make this journey an easier one She’s always too kind But nobody questions the motive of Hope. She’s there when I call But what is the real cost? When her conscience lies I’ll see where her purpose hides Hope, is here by my side She’ll make this journey an easier one, or does she? She’s always too kind But nobody questions the motives of Hope. Leave It Buried Warning like clouds to an empty sky Turn a blind eye to the storm Alarms ring on silent and hide the time Nothing will ever unwind Deceitful denial distorts the truth Like poison to water supplies The writing on the wall is fading We steer our own course Beyond circumstance But who’ll make the choice with no second chance? We cannot delay the burdens of change To prosper today Till it’s too late Warning as clouds fill an empty sky Turn a blind eye The writing on the wall has faded We steer our own course And live with the dance But who’ll make the choice with no second chance? We cannot delay in sparing our world Cause our will today can save the earth Our will to change No more delay Our will to change No more delay Leave it buried forever Generosity You belong in me A piece of you I keep I am yours and who I am is what you’ve made me With your gift of life Comes a constant prize Every time I see myself inside your eyes There’s no way for you to show more generosity Forced deliverance Given every chance Forming perfect shadows for our fearing Void coincidence Shaped experience Journeying through cycles disappearing There’s no way for you to show more generosity In nature’s way we’re paying forward generosity Lives run parallel In time the roles reverse Reciprocating all we’ve been given There’s no way for you to show more generosity It’s nature’s way of paying forward generosity The Portrait Of Your Life Stop filling up your life with chores for frozen reward When mind possessing objects call that you’ve no need for My father taught me “A job worth doing’s worth doing well The portrait of your life is what you make it" Hunting unpredictable fuel to feel good But monotonous addictive drones soon consume you But my mother taught me “A life worth living’s worth living well The portrait of your life is what you make it" My father taught me “There’s no point waiting for time to tell The portrait of your life is what you make it" The portrait of your life Go now create it Don’t Let The Ego Carry Your Soul He said, “leave it all behind” We’re all just made of new beginnings You don’t have to pretend you’re something else Living like a soldier fighting against yourself Don’t let the ego carry your soul Blindly through the motions in full control He said, “free it all today” Judgement of yourself and others Cause we’re all part of the same tidal wave Rushing for that shoreline playing the greatest game Don’t let the ego carry your soul Blindly through the motions in full control Connect With Me Show me reality Connect me Share my reality Connect with me Sharing secrets Posting visions Lives on show Long to reach you And connect to your real world Show me reality Connect with me Share your reality With me Noiseless voices Endless choices Seek control All points taken In cyber wastelands Lonely hearts grow There’s a way out Connect with me There’s a way back Just talk to me There’s a way out Connect with me There’s a way back Share my reality Connect with me Be my reality Connect with me Depths Unknown I wish I had a ticket I’d send you on a first class ride Through the hills to believing Your faith’s only fleeting If you claim to know the truth Your fate has got to leave the past Alone in potential here and now If you had a ticket Would you even take that chance? Standing on the edge when solid ground beckons I’d rather have a motive of passionate disbelief Than go through the motions With a lie in focus We’re all at depths unknown Watching the shadows grow Why fight to free yourself to wonder? We cling to what we know Old faith and lies on show Reopen up your mind to wonder How will you find your feet? When you’re running through the dark in line Emotionless and vacant Passing by each moment The chance of really seeing Can only come with new questions asked With newborn courage Uncertainty in focus Sunday Singer Put a mask on Pretty colours Fight the real you Put up posters Give them what they want Take an apple Plant it in you Fertilize within Sunday Singer Right beginner You think you’re getting through “We’ll have a party Come to our party” You just want to make your own rules with God You fool yourself to think your view comes from above Strong opinion based religion That’s just what you are Just another point debated with morals from afar Sunday Singer, pick your fools to play your tricks on But someday Karma wins you’ll never reach the good ones “We’ll have a party Come join our party” You just want to make your own rules with God You fool yourself to think a view comes from above Won’t Let Go I’m climbing a ladder to the top of a heart And it beating along the way still keeps me hanging on The air’s getting thinner but it heightens the rush Like an addict who won’t give up I’ll reach her from above Cause I’m still winning in this game While I know I’m in her race I won’t let go Monopolize She’s naming her price till she’s traded in sunlight There’ll be no more dark skies But I’m still winning in this game While I know I’m in her race So I play a wicked game of chase While I know I’m in her race I won’t let go Yeah I’m still winning in this game While I know I’m in her race So I play a wicked game of chase Hoping for that single taste so I won’t let go |
In An Ocean Of Sacrifice (2012) Prologue Art is like a person if it’s good it never lies Weeping colour faceless laughter waning without time In an ocean of sacrifice You rebel and avoid the night For the fear of a build up of sleep in your eyes In a playing field of warm delight You’re a fool letting days go by For the fear of a build up of light in your life Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty please Love is an easy option when you’re gone The Woman Next Door She only wears black if she’s wearing that She arrested my soul when they made their home I watch their telly from reflection in glass And it feels like family working at last Oh would I love to know her more? That woman next door Oh I’d love her even more Than that boy she has… Running her chores through the working week He’s got a list on their fridge that he has to keep When he does his best to protect her health She closes her legs to seduce herself Not strange at all In fact it’s all so ordinary Not strange at all in fact A New Way Oh Mary what am I to become? It’s been three and a half years and no sight of home The further I walk the more I know I’m heading to a place I’ve been before ‘Cause now is the time for a new way Cleanse myself in new waters Where everything is clear Oh Mary how will I ever know? To trust in another soul the way I only trust my own? The further I walk the more I know I’ve only got to let it go ‘Cause now is the time for a new way All this open water Where everything seems clear I don’t know where to turn But I know I’m not alone in this suffering And it’s beautiful ‘Cause there’s a smile on everyone You’ll Never Be Alone Waiting for your lines to come and direction You’ve been waiting so long When there’s nowhere to run You’ll never ever be alone Look around There’s no prize for sacrifice The lie you sav for love today I’d lie over again No regrets the conscience hides The choice is made to start this life Crazy About The End I’m going crazy worrying about the end I worry about an end before it all begins ‘Cause there’s a dark place deep in everyone Patiently on hold waiting to be known And even the giants fall The mud sticks desire fuels us all Even the giants crawl This life is a fight for us all I’m going crazy losing all control I steal a hand to hold steal a hand to hold I’m going crazy worrying about the end I worry about the end before it all begins And the yearning grows lust controls Till it finds a place to hide in your soul To use you Use you. 1000 Hearts Can’t you see that he bites the hand that feeds you? Flesh and bone A love is bought and taken home What’s left are 1000 hearts grieving and more ‘Cause he’s taken the soul for keeping It’s so hard Hard to see They arrive at plentiful moments Tired prey They hunt the victims’ most needing love What’s left are 1000 hearts broken and more ‘Cause he’s taken the soul he destroyed It’s so hard so hard Watching her go Watching it all Watching a loved one go Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy I had a dream I saw your dress Colourless white the picture a mess When did we stop singing our song? Hopelessly right bound to be wrong Sometimes we’d fight to get along Perfectly us floating away Be strong believe in what’s meant to be It will set you free in the end People go by they look and they smile But you caught me eye and stopped for a while I couldn’t have known what’d happen from there And if by chance it comes to an end? I’d build it back up and start it again Two singing hearts beating again Be strong believe in what’s meant to be It will set us free in the end Somewhere, Somehow, Someday Somewhere I know we’ll meet again Somehow I know we’ll meet again Someday this can’t be the end I hope you’re happy I hope that you found a way home Far from the place where you felt you were so alone I hope you’re happy I hope that you found a way home Home There’s no end to anything I hope you’re happy I hope that you found a way home I hope you found some beauty to call your own I hope you’re happy I hope that you found a way home Home Paths I waited for you on a highway out of town You took the long way so I never waited ‘round But where would I be if our paths crossed? I wonder… I wanted to grow fast Took the first chance only to lose You watched the green pass Let the best chance find you How will I know which path to take? I wonder… London Town Let’s pack up and leave it all behind Follow our dreams and fly to London town ‘Cause the weight of our fear is all we have holding back our soul Let’s pack up and leave it all behind We’ve got the rest of our life the rest of our life I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be on the same trip as you I don’t wanna face this world without you Live Your Fantasy You wait holding your breath for a reason to climb There at the bottom it’s safe with places to hide Every chance you delay the risk you won’t take Till the moments expire reason escapes Live your fantasies as long as you can The eyes of reality are watching your back Hold a dream in the palm of your hands The grip of reality has its own plan (The grip of reality is chasing you down) When you give it away hold nothing back Down on your knees stick to the plan Don’t fall on the past it won’t hold you up Resting on what you had I believe in you I believe in you and you should |
