Love come down And show me where you've been It's been too long And I haven't caught your scent Because you sleep in the shadows, In my dreams, in the wind But I've been held down By a voice in my head Peace come back And show me where you hide It's been so many years since I felt you inside Because your form is so soft It's like mist, hard to hold And my mind gets so tired And that voice is so cold Grief, come here, And show yourself to me You've been swimming through my veins And it's time to set you free Yes it hurts, yes I know I can hear you all day But you're blocking my path And you've outgrown your stay Written 14/2/2020
I know you're gonna leave me It's just a matter of time I could just enjoy the moment And savour while you're mine But every day gets closer To the end of the line I know you're gonna leave me It's just a matter of time I know I'll be alone By about this time next year You can see how tough I am Hiding every single tear I could love you for a lifetime Instead of striking out in fear But I know I'll be alone By about this time next year The monsters sit beside me And call to me by name They wrap themselves around me And drown me in my shame Your love lights up the darkness And helps me ease my pain But they stare through my reflection And I hear them call my name Love is not a cure But it helps soften the blow And I begin to mirror All the courage that you show Perhaps there is a future If I allow myself to grow No, love is not a cure But please teach me what you know Written 31/1/2020
You held me in your gaze And you told me that you'd love me in so many ways But when I showed you my saddest pats You left me torn open with an unguarded heart So why waste my time? Did you think that your bullshit Would one day become mine? And we'd share in your spineless ways Fighting fake monsters for the rest of our days? [Chorus] My pain won't transmit So you can stop acting like you'll catch my shit And get off your damn throne You've got work to do on your own It's been twenty-odd years Since you told me you were safe and then reduced me to tears Because I showed you my broken wing And that prompted your defenses and made me feel your sting But why turn on me? Did I expose a side that you were too scared to see In your own hungry soul Now you avoid the very thing that will make you whole? [Chorus] Written 16 June 2019/Finished 21 August 2019
When it’s dark inside And you feel your way along the shadows When it hurts inside And you’re drowning in the shallows Oh when there’s no one Who could ever slow your tears When you’d give anything To make your island disappear Just close your eyes now And feel your heartbeat You’re alive now You’re electricity [Chorus] I know You’ve been waiting For your light To shine again Searching For some feeling While the current Flows through your hands When you’re reaching out For the girl who you remember But she’s crumbling Like dead leaves in September Oh when you’re hungry But you cannot fill the need She’s the garden All you needed was a seed So close your eyes now And feel your heartbeat You’re alive now You’re electricity [Chorus 2] I know You’re still waiting For your light To shine again But you are Illuminating Cause the current Flows through your hands Cause the current Flows through your hands… You are electricity You are electricity Your bruises colour me Paint my mind like a memory Slow down time in my reverie Empty me of air The razors when you speak Take me back to hide-and-seek Find my body hollow, weak Hungry for despair [Chorus] And I know it’s all gone now It’s time to carry on now I’ve been getting it all wrong now No longer need to stay You’re protected by intent Fists beating on hard cement Told yourself you’re heaven-sent Crawling into me But my body’s not your home My light is not for you to own So now your kingdom’s overthrown I’m setting myself free [Chorus] And I know it’s all gone now It’s time to carry on now I’ve been getting it all wrong now No longer need to stay And I know I’ve been found now The past is hallowed ground now And it’s time to turn around now The child’s faded away |
