But I’m Smiling
I couldn’t help but think now of where her life would go now she was gone. I suppose I done it to myself really. I transfixed on the reasoning for ages, only now coming to terms with what happened. Before that I drank. Silly? Stupid? All of the above? It would never be insisted that we didn’t give the girl a good send off. She weren’t just a girl. She weren’t just an anything really. But hell, no-...

Eyes Pour Lonely
When your heart’s in need of a call,
From someone who’d hold you
When you are in need of a friend
When life feels too hard to get through
I’ll be there to always care
When in your eyes pour lonely
You don’t need to feel ashamed
When you’re crying lonely
Of my arms you’re not afraid
When your eyes pour lonely
When your heart’s bleeding love, and cannot heal
I’ll be there for you to l...

Stagnant
Here I am again,
Standing stagnant at the crossroads,
Of my failure
Do I take a left,
Or is it safer to avoid all aspects of my stature?
As the sunlight fades to grey,
The shattered heart inside remains
The kindness within intends to cry,
Overflows like the rain soaked sky
Fly, I will try
Where should I turn,
If to turn right, then the nightlife stars I may intertwine
Silver lining...

Forever More
You sit still in memories,
You’re drenched by your own worth
Pick apart your identity,
‘Till you’re no longer part of his world
Wear a suit of memory,
Wear a smile like it’s your crown
Don’t drown in your vanity,
‘Cause he’s not worth your cries, out loud
You’re sliced by the silence,
You’re numb, and feeling used
There’s a heart, way in the distance
That has bled all of its contents,
...

Home
Stagnant by the starlight,
Reflective of my dynasty
Blinded by the clouds,
Shadowing my summer sea
I thought I could make it out of here,
Haze through fog, the pathways aren’t so clear
Drown in limelight, I will sink alone
Heart of paper, and my eyes of stone
Isn’t it peaceful, to be alone?
Self sabotage, seldom destruct
Slice through the silence, with the warmth of home
Years late,...

Who I Want To Be
Dreams deriving from imagination,
Are stable in their stance
Believing we could be something different,
Different to ourselves
I wish to show you just, what I’m hiding
So you will believe,
Me is what I wish to be
The me you wish to see,
Is pastured by my sensibility
Liquid turn to solid,
Make a wish upon the comet
And finally,
I will be who I want to be

Hold You Close
Don’t be scared to fall,
‘Cause tonight is your time
Your time to raise a glass and smile,
Your time to fade away, for a while
Fall into my arms, and I will hold you tight
I’m prepared to lease my grip, let go
But with a willingness to hold you close
You can’t sacrifice yourself to the sky
You have a heart down here,
You can’t sink into the atmosphere
Hold out your hand, things will be...

Insecurity
When insecure within your skin,
When stars crashed down,
And world’s caved in
There is hope within those eyes,
When stories are read,
Brightened skies
Melodically, you fade,
You never stay the same
Find a hole within the walls,
Catch a star just as it falls
When my world stood still,
When all heart beats fool,
Nothing left, you’re safety
Someone to crash into
When all hearts fall...

Stars Struck
You dream, You see
You melt within the velvet sky
I see within your soul,
And melt within your ocean blue eyes
I wish to meet,
And I would hold you close
‘Cause you are someone who I
Will always love
You are my reasons,
Forever changing seasons
Expands forever deeper
I want to hold you close within my arms,
I want to be your destiny
I want to be your shoulder to cry on,
I want you ...

Live Long, Michelle
See the sunrise sweep over,
See the four winged clover,
The roots start to grow
Battled a lack of affection,
A death defying Winter,
But since the seed has been sown
I know you hit the ground,
Crashed down
With scattered bits of blow,
Down below, you surround
What’s wrong with standing strong?
What’s wrong with knowing where you belong?
I cry when I look into your blue eyes,
They ...

Hold Me
Tear me apart,
See the me that you’re faking to break,
You won’t hear me cry
But I cry,
You preach of my fail,
Yet my kind arms prevail,
They lock up the heart I instil within all,
That break me,
I cry, I cry
But you won’t hear me
You won’t hear me
You won’t hear me
In the night
In the night
I hide in my room,
Blame the stains in my eyes
On mascara
So I can hide all that’s not...

Noticed
You’re all I’m seeing,
The lonely part of the room
I see the walls you are building,
So the breakdown can’t see through
Your eyes have reddened,
And your voice breaks through the blues
I know you are strong,
But even strength lets go
You’re drinking to ignore the numbness,
You make yourself a mess,
So your flaws aren’t noticed
You’d benefit from a crash landing
From a crash landing

Right?
I just stood stagnant,
I was in panic
I thought I lost you,
Then the crying happened
My heart, it felt deflated,
Of anticipation
But in the good way, as emotion overwhelmed us,
We had some time to,
Gather what we need to,
Say to each other, “oh my gosh,
I thought I lost you”
I know, you know, I know
We would wait for each other in the dark
I know, you know, I know
We won’t work for...

Love
I throw emotions overboard,
Overburden the sound
The sound of poetics as my feelings
Crash down
The saviour in the sky,
Is devoid of in the clout
As I turn to music,
What I’m saddened by’s washed out
I am beyond exhuming gladness,
That someone up there saw sense
You paid me no attention,
Of this young girl’s desperation
I have had time to grow,
Lock with stars, and I half head
The ...

Did You?
Did you gaze at the stars,
So bright?
Hold her hand until midnight
See the sun come rising past you
Did she hold you?
Did you fall into the sun?
Your melted heart has frozen up
Did you stand inside her shadow?
Would you follow?
When she smiled,
Did your heart turn blue?
When she smiled,
Did she fall back into you?

This Is Me Now
Go, don’t lose your way,
Stay on the road
Rose thorn concealed in your soul
Rectifiable by discretion,
Aim towards your goal
Little unknown
30 years, she’s been striking a chord,
Into the heartbeat of thousands
30 years, and now she’s spilling her honest,
Recount of where she’s at
Born with incredible talent,
You know her name
Caging herself, truth undiscovered
Cloaked by fame
Thro...
