I sit upon the shelf Some people might say But it's hard to find yourself But I wasn't looking anyway And it's been hard And your body bears the weight of it all And we're bound and broken in two in ourselves And I know We'll start all over again Grow a new,...

Heard you got the job Hope it serves you well Seems a good way out Coffee ticket town Your steady behaviour it’s all in your nature I call you my neighbour at number 9 It’s alright now Now, alright now Take a generational bow Are you calling out? B...

She’s underwater again Somebody’s daughter, a friend In the night in the dark in the cold As she walks far away Nobody’s watching Drowning in words so sweet Mild is the water Caught as a bird once free I don’t mind Hope is a distance Unreached Ink...

It doesn’t really matter if I’m happy or sad He’s bigger than the rest of us, I’ll promise you that, I’m glad I’m glad He’s picking up the drinks and then he’s knocking ‘em back I’ve never seen someone who wears a sad little mask like that Like that Th...

I write in cursive lines And I need the help I miss the shoulder of knowing Nothing else And I will never be I will never be myself I will never be I will never be too well I'd walk the corners Of my empty mind But I'm full of darkness With the loneliest of...

I'm weak as, I am young Feel the feet I drag along Please give me back my strength for this sorrow And I'll try again tomorrow But, I'm weighted by this stone It hangs at the back of my throat We don't have grace we are foolish inside I'm not in my place and...

In the early hours I left, to find a way Though the world is moving on, I'm still the same Fear will kill my mind at last, the thought The strain, no more hiding under health, but I Find it hard to pray And I want you to hurt, my heart, like you always could...

When the sun rises silver If it rises at all Meet me there across the water And we'll start an endless storm Rain falls in love We fall in love Together we walk the English winter So caught up in one another Who cares is we're under thunders showers...

Well I'm sorry if I seem sad to you I can't help the dreams I've had Why am I so damn attached to greying It's a game that I've had trouble playing There's an old man and the sea He's going to a land of yellow seed How I wish I was like him, all-knowing How...

You're neither beauty nor grace The world revolves around the ones you hate Why do you try so hard to be things you're not And I would rather be alone Than in a lonely crowd Would you notice if I ever left it there On your own That's where time goes Leave me...

We can fight our desires But when we start making fires We get ever so hot Wether we like it or not. They say we can love who we trust But what is love without lust Two hearts with accurate devotions What are feelings without emotions. I'm going in f...

It's a fine day People open windows They leave their house Just for a short while They walk by the grass And they sit on the grass They look at the sky It's going to be a fine night tonight It's going to be a fine day tomorrow Sitting in this field I remember...

Breaking my back in the heart of this land Feet above water and softened in sand I could have wanted any part of this But I find the heat is too harsh on the skin Drowning in light need the cold to sinkin to my soul My soul Ignore signs of change, no m...

I've never been too bold Keeping in the quiet and shade I could run away with all my time But wouldn't it feel the same Oh this is lonely territory I've got miles and miles ahead How I wish that I was lionhearted And if you talk to me I don't reply I...

I want to go places that I've never been Rome, California, Paris, Berlin I want to see things I've never seen Quietly happy and live by the sea They say don't go out Don't get lost in the dark Don't go in too deep Don't swim out too far They say don't...

I don't understand why Most of the time I'm living my life all wrong I felt nothing at all The freedom of the fall My smile is on the backseat, the back wall Watch me as I go and separate the ones that I am made to love and hate And slowly counting dow...

Honey here we are Dreaming in the dark Trouble seems so far Their thoughts were ours But now we dream apart Now we dream apart Boiling water But I'm just content with time well spent Savor the taste of sugar But all you want is milk More than you can drink A...

How did it feel when it came alive and took you? Out of the black it broke your skin and shook through Every part of me, every part of you You made a fool out of me and took the skin off my back running So don't breathe when I talk cause you haven't been...

I don't understand why Most of the time I'm living my life all wrong I felt nothing at all The freedom of the fall My smile is on the backseat, the back wall Watch me as I go and separate the ones that I am made to love and hate And slowly counting dow...

Ribbon of the river by my side I walk the shores and watch it unwind The railway tracks will leave a glimpse of the light From the train, trailing sparks of gold behind And as soon as you're seen it it's gone As soon as you've seen it it's gone Secrets of th...

Breeze is always colder by the sea But it's warm to me Unsettled in my skin The air is clean, and I build a dream Haven't we all? Haven't we all? Never looking back or looking down Alone forever Caught up in it all I thought about it many times before Haven...

It's been a hard time, a long day Our minds they play over and over again And I call myself a friend While you call yourself a stranger We float upon the hills and on the grass Speak words that they will hear but, never understand And I'm writing this in a ba...

Soft are your hands on the weight of the world Making your mark with your delicate touch Pulling me in, pulling me in Pulling me in with your natural charm It's not air that you're breathing It's the truth you inhale Stretching out, testing reaches like that...

I'm in my lonely light My light inside of my skin Though its not there at night Never does it cross my mind So let us go Then you and I And I will tip my cap, to the northen sky Let us go Then you and I And I will tip my cap, to the northen sky There's nothi...

Today, I feel close to ill It seems to be alright Steady hands and steady feet I push you far behind Miles to go, I'm drifting slow This wholesome life of mine Mother told us not to go No fingers in the fire Alright I am only as good as you want me to...

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten And children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a White Christmas With every Christmas card I write "May your days be merry and bright And may...
