I remember when your arms were inviting
and your tongue didnt move just to correct my point of view
Remember when our kisses led to biting?
Now I only bite in frustration at you

Your bed used to keep me warm
now I wake up to insomnia freezing my bones
Our arguments make me want to be alone
But when i'm away I miss the love we own

Can we go back to the way we were?
Have we come to far to relinquis...

Fate has no say, no authority
he is a silent witness in the courtroom
When you stand between two doors
pondering potential
fate will not steer you in any direction

Fate has no say, no authority
when you have come to the end of your journey
your finger fiddling with the maps oppurtunities
fate will not steer your finger in any direction

Welcome to the city
city of angels
of demons
of men and women
rapists,
killers,
con artists,
scheming fraudsters and intelligent drug dealers
they all share a secret
they were once innocent
as was the city
before its beauty was discoloured
her purity stolen by thieves of the night

I want to see the city in all its grace
in her naked form
showing all
stripped of its costume
theres beauty in her madness

A large room
immaculately clean
a single chair
an imprint of someone who used to sit there

The empty book case
still the faint musky smell of old pages
a loose bracket with a screw missing
the unstained patch on the wall
where a framed photo once glistened

Flowered curtains stained by cigarrette smoke
the room is silent, quiet
you can hear the faint memory of unconditional laughter

Truth knocks at the door

quietly he enters

you've heard his voice before

you quiver at the sentence

Those words you cannot say

you choose to write them down

read by a family betrayed

you paint smiles over their frowns

Behind the gentle face

lies darkness disguised

the words leave a sour taste

crooked pictures left behind

Hide yourself from the crowd

who ask awkward question...

Welcome to the city of many faces

the city of angels, of demons, of men, of women

youths fashioned with the latest sports gear,

k swiss trainers, stone island jackets instilling fear

streets moving fast, cars, buses, crowds of people

salesmen, businessmen whizzing past

Welcome to the city of dreams

the place to find yourself,

your calling is here, standing near,

On the first day, God created cocaine

He had to try sample it of course

"Thoust who sniff this shall frazzle their brain!"

But just to make sure he tried it again

On the seconbd day, he created women

he had to sample of course

"Curse them who do this act outside marriage!"

On the second day God was married

Day 3, one of his finest, he created man!

"Let him be as strong as I am!"

Today I tasted fear

as they came and took me away

soldiering me to the car

that sour taste will stay

every night I must consume in this hell, reminding me of that day

Today I tasted authority

as they threw me down onto my cell

sniggering as they did so

that revolting taste and smell

every morning I wake, to the stench of hell

Today I tasted injustice

We sit and talk about everyday things

the things which annoy us

you don't like the puddles rain brings

it soaks you upto your knees

Your loneliness seems to be my bliss

cause your feeling alone

I enjoy your kiss

I heard you cry for the first time last night

quietly

your tears scarred my eyes

When they come to take me away

i'll say I cannot leave

and if the time may come

a dusty road

endlessly long

a scream

earthly scream

Shattered walls

"Stop this train!" He shouted

"I want to vacate"

"Too late" the dead conductor called

"This train has already crashed"

"Into the past!"

Footsteps on the veranda

Footsteps on the pavement

Footsteps to the end of the road

Walking towards your dream

you couldn't let go 

Your fairytale dreams

follow them with your feet

Searching through unmarked boxes

In painted scenes

for your diamond dreams

Footsteps through the courtyard

Footsteps down the marble stairs

will you wait for me there?

Last night I shared a bottle of whiskey with Jim Morrison

he brought acid to the table

we may have been surrounded by indians

his soul jumped into mine

I had a vision of an ancient burial ground

I saw chaeos

He showed me a planet

"They have yet to find this" he said

He called it "Intemperance"

"We bring no wealth here" He said

"Wealth is good for one thing only. Dissipation."

When the earths starts to shake,

knocking you down,

cutting the delicateness of your sides.

Pick yourself up

and walk towards

a fresh open door in your mind.

The steps may be high

and the roads may be long

but something somewhere's got to give

and when you finally achieve

what for so long has been your dream

you can hold your head up in pride

The melody plays

to offer you praise

Delightfully marked with the pictures of love

it takes the shape of a drunken dove

you love to watch the sun go down

watching it come up makes our faces turn brown

I can see that every scar has history

and every wound has its own story

and even though its a thing of the past

I must caress so the pain doesn't last

Love and the rest

so easy to use

Love and the rest

So easy to lose

I saw a dark ocean

swam across with my sins

with the scattered brains of the ancient world

Depression was my friend

long enough to make us cry

your soul has never died

Unborn child of the world

Were on that train again,

stained windows and

yesterdays kiss

been here before

windowless soul and

tomorrows kiss

conversing about lust,

destiny and trust

The time will pass again

when you must decide

between freedom and

suicide

Are you sure, that you

would like to stay?

Paint me a picture

Well darkness comes and

it goes away

I take it you don’t want to be here anymore

Your life will be much shorter than we thought

And as you put the last one in your mouth

You don’t give a thought to anyone else!

Has it come down to this my lonely friend?

Is life not treating you well again?

I take it you don’t want to suffer anymore

You’re not so carefree as we thought

And as you put the last one in your mouth

We walked across the lawn

Through the fields of roses without thorns

Wandered peacefully, aimlessly

Taking every little thing as it comes

A magpie dances circles around our toes

The gentle breeze blows

Your hair into my face, it tickles my nose

Minus the plants and the trees

Minus the gentle breeze

Minus every single thing and you still have us

Are you happy with what you see?

Broken down over thoughts of what could have been

Broken down over thoughts of what should have been

We stopped dead like a broken train,

That should have found its way to some beautiful terrain

Everything has stopped like a broken clock

Unable to read time, but it hasn’t forgot

Their song no longer plays on forever

The acquiesce of no more times together

Scared to sleep,

When I’m finally asleep

Try to call out for help,

but I’m asleep,

Eyes are open. I’m awake

Have I been asleep at all, was it a dream or real?

I can already feel Monday morning blues getting closer to me,

Welcome

To the city of imperfection

The city awaits your presence

Your beautiful body enters

Your soul is close by

We’ll soon have a city of angels

Goodbye to that putrid essence

And the Giant

Control the kingdom

They were enemies of late

But put their differences behind

They welcome you at the gate

The giant may scoop you up

Onto his shoulder, God sits on the other

Never really had anything sacred

Why don’t you tell the truth,

I know you don’t want to be here,

So why do you pretend you do.

How you do the things that annoy me

When were in the ruins of an argument

Why is your technology so loud?

Why does it drown out my music?

Why does it make you feel proud?

Your ways are confusingly brilliant

Your thinking is nothing short of risiliant

But don’t be alone, because the alone are alone

Two in a scalf and two in a coat

This is the story of a duck and a goat

They walked for miles without a care in the world

Because he was her man and she was his girl

Arm in arm and hand in hand

They kissed in the streets and prayed for the sand

Their they would find a bar and a drink

Where they would sit and exchange the odd wink

They pretended for months that they wasn’t in love

Looking at the pictures of my broken dreams

Trying to work out my life,

Are they as far away as it seems

Looking at the fixtures, of the plans I have

Am I going about things the right away?

Is this the right way to act?

So now I'm drawing out a map

Of my future and past

Where to go, where to avoid

Sign along the dotted line, may this contract not go void

The night floating eagerly

When there is a beautiful silence

A tender blue sky

Some street lamps lit

Others still sleep peacefully

Cars drift by,

As gentle as the clouds in the sky

Not even the roadworks pollute this moment with noise

They add a certain romanticism
