Decisive and Divine
03:39
|

You list the words that would build a brighter future
Your hands extend opening a portal of light
But time is twisted willful and sometimes wicked
Cruel design threads its needle through our lives
Decisive and divine
In this world where each step is a landmine
You are a human who chooses what's right
The shroud I wear heavy with despair its a shadow
Rendering a lifetime reeled in film noir
Then willful whispers delivered you while I was listless
Even a cynic couldn't fault your heart
Persistent in the dark
In this world where each step is a landmine
You are a man who chooses what's right
In this world where each step is a landmine
You are a human who chooses what's right
In this world where each step is a landmine
You are a human who chooses what's right
In this world where each step is a landmine
You are a man who chooses what's right

Fall Again
03:16
|

Treading in the dark
Liquid rising
No horizon
I don't know where the half of me went that was you
The tinted glasses my prescription for the future
The only tender's what's left within
Shapes and forms devoid of meaning
An aura of pain that radiates
A beacon to say that I'm insane
A rough hand extends
So I fall again
So I fall again
I search the cavalry of suitors
Mirrors of new futures
For my face
But I can't recognize if who I see is me or you
Which chink in my armour manipulates this shifting view
Cause I can't trust the sound of how a sound mind should be
Each pitch has a certain appeal to me
Colours from the prism of possibility
The light that emits from every human being
A rough hand extends
So I fall again
So I fall again
So I fall again
So I fall again

We chase all the fear that's chasing us
Under the blue of the moon we repeat it's tune
We fly down the city streets at night
Freedom's catch twenty two by the time it's noon
We move to the groove of the final days
Creatures brought bare by desire and longing
Championed by those who refuse despair
Where there is hope there still is something
There is love in honour and honour in love
There is love in honour and honour in love
There is love in honour and honour in love
There is love in honour and honour in love
Our house it was once devout
And every prayer that was paid was enough to be saved
Don't wait I will find my way to you
One day we'll see through the haze of the world we set ablaze
We move to the groove of the final days
Creatures brought bare by desire and longing
Championed by those who refuse despair
Where there is hope there still is something
There is love in honour and honour in love
There is love in honour and honour in love
There is love in honour and honour in love
There is love in honour and honour in love

Pebbles
03:14

I'll see in anyone
This means that I am closer
We will be friends for real
You make me laugh
In silence your eyes
Smiling we find humour here
Now I see why
The world could be flat
I can trace that line from the cliffs down to the ground
Each pebble its own decorated town
This means that I am closer
Now I see why
The world could be flat
I can trace that line from the cliffs down to the ground
Each pebble its own decorated town
You are so warm
You are so good
And we watch each other carefully

Stars Still Dying
04:48
|

The first breath is arresting
We don't all come full circle at the turn of time
This chalice has a poisoned rim
We sink cognizant and comfortable
Knowing that there is no win
And the man who's a boy can protect the impregnable
Still we all lose some days
That's just the way
It was as far as we had dreamed
The garden grew deep the incense rising
Lifted as heat to stars still dying
Gone just like magic by the morning
We couldn't pull back the glass
So we stood watching
Our eyes projecting the past
Lenses of love of longing
To be aware is to tread with care
Resting in the pain you're living
It was as far as we had dreamed
The garden grew deep the incense rising
Lifted as heat to stars still dying
Gone just like magic by the morning
It was as far as we had dreamed
The garden grew deep the incense rising
Lifted as heat to stars still dying
Gone just like magic by the morning
It was as far as we had dreamed
The garden grew deep the incense rising
Lifted as heat to stars still dying
Gone just like magic by the morning
How long do you stay to honour a dream
To honour a dream
How long do you stay to honour a dream
To honour a dream

FA Anthem

We drink on a dime
We travel on a dime
We work for a dime
Then we dance for the limelight
Legs line the wall to the bathroom stall
It's the square who throw shade as they pass our way
We've got colours on display and we ain't ashamed
We know this is a game ya, and we know how to play
We work it ya we workin
We work it ya we workin
We work it ya we workin
We work it ya we workin
Cause the tip ain't all that we live for
So much more happens once we shut that door
It's the naughty ones that grovel they need so much more
It don't work that way if you're nice you can stay
We work it ya we workin
We work it ya we workin
We work it ya we workin
We work it ya we workin
We drink on a dime
We travel on a dime
We work for a dime
So we value our time
We drink on a dime
We travel on a dime
We work for a dime
Then we dance for the limelight

Winter
03:35
|

This old cold winter
Like my bones it lives in me
Sometimes I call it home
The same way it hurts to grow
Push through the pain
So your heartstrings don't freeze
Keep your heart warm
So you make it to spring
In the meantime the bleak will shift into white
As our eyes acclimatize
Oh the water will break beneath the ice
As we watch each other fall
It's not easy
Growing honest is always hard
This old cold winter
Like my bones it lives in me
Sometimes I call it home
The same way it hurts to grow
Still the sun on it's rise
Keeps me
Pink glow snow blown
Pink glow snow blown
Pink glow snow blown
Pink glow snow blown
Pink glow snow blown

Powerful Women
02:41
|

We come from a line of powerful women
History says a lifetime is short
But it can be well spent
She knows it's a ride
It stops where it stops ya
The sights are the sights
Still sometimes it breaks her heart
Still sometimes it fills her eyes in the dark of the night
Silence has a price
But still there's a cost to using her voice
So if the fuel of that fire ignites
As you stand in it's flames
Know I see you
It's the brave who remain in that light
If the battle lasts long
Know I feel you
We come from a line of powerful women
History says a lifetime is short
But it can be well spent
When I think of time
I have to believe
That justice presides
So if the fuel of that fire ignites
As you stand in it's flames
Know I see you
It's the brave who remain in that light
If the battle lasts long
Know I feel you
If the fuel of that fire ignites
As you stand in it's flames
Know I see you
It's the brave who remain in that light
If the battle lasts long
Know I feel you
We come from a line of powerful women

Revisions
04:16

Changed like a reptile in the shifting light
Tongue unraveling new illusions
Were these true colours or was I deceived
Did they just pop against your new backdrop
I fold over revision revision revision revision revision revision
And in each version I ask what could have been
You wanted to keep the control
You said you loved me
Said we were chasing the gold
But your eyes they stayed shaded
To go back to the pause
In the quiet snow
I remember what your love was
Soft in the cold
A broken smile
Gentle hands
You were just a man
You wanted to keep the control
You said you loved me
Said we were chasing the gold
But your eyes they stayed shaded
I fold over revision revision revision revision revision revision
And in each version I ask what could have been
I fold over revision revision revision revision revision revision
And in each version I ask what could have been
I fold over revision revision revision revision revision revision
And in each version I ask what could have been
I fold over revision revision revision revision revision revision
And in each version I ask what could have been
I fold over revision revision revision revision revision revision
And in each version I ask what could have been
I fold over revision revision revision revision revision revision
And in each version I ask what could have been

Hazy Days
03:32
|
|||
Travel stole our lives away as we traversed this space
Our choices dissolving like rain eroding the roots we hoped would stay
Still we could suspend time while your eyes held mine
Well we both know this fire
It was fuelled by desire
I conspire to be close to you
In the scope of this life
While our stories align
Know that my love for you was true
Shedding the years brings me close to my fears
I am bound by the fates who cut time
Ladies with sheers prune the garden of life
When the season is ripe and the sun hits its stride
In the heat we were blinded our tears mesmerized us
Our orbits collided, then time sacrificed us she sacrificed us
Well we both know this fire
It was fuelled by desire
I conspire to be close to you
In the scope of this life
While our stories align
Know that my love for you was true
Well we both know this fire
It was fuelled by desire
I conspire to be close to you
In the scope of this life
While our stories align
Know that my love for you
My love for you was true

How long do you stay to honour a dream
