Calm disciple, the symmetry of touch
Unmasked in fiction, I breathe you in
I drank your poison and spun its gold
But I don´t feel so rich
It all depends on you
Don´t be so shy
I held your life
- As Our Blood Separates
Brave my little world
Wrapped up with string and curls
Now it's all I've got
Got the rest of our lives to exhale this dust
I'll roll out the corpses
She'll run out on me
She'll run out on me
- BPD
Lies opened up this road
The only place the truth has left to go
And when your love falls short I wait
But your gone
Tied to the rootless half
The half that self destructs
When its missed the mark
- Bright Lights Will Harm No-One
Don’t hesitate and wait for signposts to raise the stakes
Your hands around my slow escape
Time implodes then starts again, and forms in shapes
Pale as water and paper thin
These subtle meanings won’t make the grade
I bought a rainbow to guard your sky
In my defence, I don’t know why
- Carnival Song
Paint your colours over my old life
Your blue inks brave now
Your blue ink says “I’m alive…now won’t you try”
Hear my good advice
You're built this way and you’ll never change
Hide your conscience under your disguise
- Movie Screens
Play the act blue, play the act cold
Play me sideways, it don’t matter
I gave up on consequence
See the redshift, turn to blueshift
Throw me a bone, it don’t matter
It seemed too hard anyway
Tell me don’t stop till your head drops
- Our World Recedes
Dress me up in poison then explode
Erase what makes you human then implode
I can’t rise up
You can’t sell love
Our world recedes in disbelief
All eyes on me
I’ll bow and leave
- The Moon And The Shine
Won’t you lie still?
Won’t you disarm, say “it’s alright”?
When you hold me down
The better you died, but it’s alright
To all of these new years days
To all of these lives unsaved
- The Unravelling King
Caught in sleeps design
Mind wrapped in knifes
Panic dares me
Then stares me out
What if we don't fight?
Would you fade from sight?
Would you crave me?
- Your Heart, Your Words, Your Nerves
Learn my lines
I’m always 19 and I barely last another day
The skies catch fire, I hover too close and burn until you look away
We’ll play our roles, my Lady Macbeth, accomplice with a lesser soul
Your heart, your words, your nerves distort
I can’t stop knowing this
