Hope Ann

Where are you going to Hope Anne?

Why are you looking so fine?

Don’t you worry none Hope Anne?

I know you were never mine

You didn’t know the day I found you

Was the worst day of my life

My world had crashed around me

I felt the sharp edge of the knife

But you gave me your attention

And I held onto it tight

Like a light into the darkness

Like a becon in the night

Where are you going to Hope Anne?

Why are you looking so fine?

Don’t you worry none Hope Anne

I know you were never mine

I never took one day for granted

Because I knew one day you’d go

I kept the things you gave me

and I wanted you to know

You helped me through my troubles

You helped me through the storm

I’m on the other side now

Where I am safe and warm

Where are you going to Hope Anne?

Why are you looking so fine?

Don’t you worry none Hope Anne

I know you were never mine

Beneath The Starry Cloak (rock/ballad)

Choose sink or swim I always sank

Whenever I could stomach

Into the murky depths of you

Where devils sob and play.

And when I woke, somehow alive,

I tried to sink again;

I danced and laughed and laughed and drank

Just floatin’ on your waves,

Wonderin’ how much more it takes?

What lofty measure saves?

The soul is just a piece of lint;

A paltry little string

The Fates’ll give not a half a glint

To flit and do it in.

But there’s much more to you it seems.

I’d sink from here to hell

Just to feel a moment of that

Cresting wave; that swell...

Fellows stand and laugh at me,

And well they should at that.

Ridiculous to try to see

Beyond a simple chat.

But sit and spill and chill and soak,

There’s more beneath the starry cloak.

And now I’ve known I can’t go back

To paddlin’ in the shallows.

So string me ’long until I hack,

Come show my nerves the gallows.

Choose sink or swim I always sank

Whenever I could stomach

Into the murky depths of you

Where devils sob and play.

A song

Parts of this prison

Glow like a prism

When sunbeams

Hit raindrops

On windows

They glisten

And glint

Leave maps

And hints

In condensation

When fingers flick

Altered acrylic

Like scrolls

Like scriptures

Burnt holes in Perspex pictures

Pressed lips blow cold O’s

That break free

Ascend

And dissolve

Like all signs over time

Like hope

Rip up bed sheets

Make a rope

Nope

She said

You live in your head

You’re missing a lot things

You’re missing a lot of things

Salvation is a credit rating

Fear not of man

Or divine entities

But did god get the best of me

Cos this temple has a very high entrance fee

Salvation is a credit rating

Fear not of man

Or divine entities

But did god get the best of me

Cos this temple has a very high exit fee.

Icarus

Ever since I was a child

I’ve always wished for wings

Hopping

From chair to sofa

The floor is my prison.

Ever since I was a child

I’ve always wished for wings.

But, oh no, can’t hold me up

With paper, wax and strings.

Icarus, oh Icarus am I.

I jumped off the cliff of fame

And flew a bit too high.

I wish, I wish,

I wish that I could fly

Like a bird in the night sky.

I, oh I, oh Icarus am I.

I tried to find the light

That sun I wish to shine.

Ambition leaves me blind.

These wings couldn’t hold me up,

I’m solid like a stone.

My feet, just tied to the ground

And wax just melts along.

I wish, I wish,

I wish that I could fly.

But these wings, oh-oh,

They can’t support me

Flights of fancy.

My bones cannot be hollow

the ways that you’re are, oh.

My stomach should be empty,

I’m overcompensating.

The numbers, they keep going down

But I still can’t—

I wish, I wish,

I wish that I could fly.

My stomach’s gone

My wings are stronger

Gravity still holds me down.

I wish, I wish

I wish that I could fly.

I jumped off the cliffs of fame

But the spotlight didn’t catch me,

Light is cruel, these rays they burn,

Now Icarus is falling.

I, oh I, oh Icarus am I.

I flew towards the sun

Riding on a lie.

I, oh I, oh Icarus am I.

And I, oh I, I flew a bit too high.

I, oh I, oh Icarus am...

I tried to walk across the clouds,

To dance across the sky.

But no, there never was a hope

For I am not divine.

I, oh I, oh Icarus was I.

I gave up on my dreams,

No man can never fly.

Ambition left me blind.

Empty, and Hollow,

No, nothing left inside.

No myth to fill this void,

This space inside my heart.

I, oh I, oh Icarus was I.

Now I, oh I, am nothing inside.

One Way Ride

There you go again

Teasing me with those eyes

Always trying to find a reason

Babe, don't let yourself lie

You can't run away

Don't leave me in the dust

Eventually I'll catch up to you

To have you is a must

You'll never know how much I love you

But until you do

Let the music guide me

I'll just follow the signs to you

You've put me on this journey

I'm on a one way ride to you

It's about the ride

Not knowing where it leads

I'm hoping you'll be waiting for me

Until then Ill just drive

You make it so hard

But worth every moment

And for every sin and atonement

You're the guide to my heart

You'll never know how much I love you

But until you do

Let the music guide me

I'll just follow the signs to you

You've put me on this journey

I'm on a one way ride to you

A reply to hearts

There was a time-

where saying 'I love you'

was an unsolvable task.

Dazzling hearts,

all drawn at midnight,

all with your off-hand.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

it took so long.

I love you, I love you.

My adorable me. (love you)

Look at the mirror

enjoy what you see. (I love you)

This is a love song

just for you and I. (You are me)

I must say I love you

at least one million times. (Can you hear me?)

There was a time,

where the darkness had free reign.

The terror of teardrops

made you fall, sick and pained.

Now you face the monster,

the one painted by your closed eyes.

You face down at midnight

but for once, your eyes are dry.

I love you, I love you.

My adorable me. (love you)

Look at the mirror

enjoy what you see. (I love you)

This is a love song

just for you and I. (You are me)

I must say I love you

at least one million times. (Can you hear me?)

A self made prophacy,

a death by time. (death by time)

A self- inflected curse,

a loveless heart (loveless heart)

And yet you remain,

strong and proud (strong and proud)

Come out and reign,

beautiful butterfly (butterfly)

I love you, I love you.

My adorable me. (love you)

Look at the mirror

enjoy what you see. (I love you)

This is a love song

just for you and I. (You are me)

I must say I love you

at least one million times. (Can you hear me?)

I love you, I love you.

My adorable me. (love you)

Look at the mirror

enjoy what you see. (I love you)

This is a love song

just for you and I. (You are me)

I must say I love you

at least one million times. (Can you hear me?)

I'm sorry this took so long

to reply.

I have loved you

for the longest time.

I'm thankful you were born,

and that you are here.

Every morning

you bring me cheer.

And the best part of all,

is that you are here.

When I look,

in the mirror.

(Its a bit fast, like a pop song.)
