Heavy Eyes

Lying awake
Transfixed on the dark
Absorbed, fixed state
Scared sleep will spark
As to tempt to never
See the light again
But you drift off slowly
A couple hours sleep
Stiff and far from cosy
Crashed, in the passenger seat
Waking up wishing you hadn’t
I want to defy the lines
To which I am defined
But I can’t quite decide
Which life is mine
We’ve added years to life
But not life to years
We’re born into strife
And are conditioned to fear
Heavy eyes, blurred out lines
I’m dreaming of a better day
I’m a stranger in my own skin
I’m absent from everything
Dark thoughts quickly creep on in
These sheets cannot save me
Are you sitting comfortably?
I’m on the edge of my seat
Heavy eyes, blurred out lines
I’m dreaming of a better day
Heavy eyes, blurred out lines
I’m dreaming of a better day
Never see the light again

Early Day Rust

My days are filled with nothing
There is no spark left in me
Forever lethargic and hopeless
As I see a crushing repeat
I can’t grasp my aspirations
I’m stuck in a rut of mediocrity
I can’t control my anxieties
They’ve got a hold of my sanity
I crave distraction
So there’s nothing wrong with me
I crave destruction
But this isn’t a band this is therapy
My biggest fear
Is to hear
'Is survived by nothing'
Engraved on the stone
Of the grave
Of a worthless man
Who lived
For the sake of living
Who lived
For the sake of living
We’re made just to self-destruct
And in vain we give up, give up
We’re made just to self-destruct
And in vain we give up, give up
The older you are, the better you were
You're nostalgic, when you've achieved nothing
Ruminations have taken their grip on me
We’re made just to self-destruct
And in vain we give up, give up
But how many times, can you start afresh?
How far can you run, when you’re all out of breath?
We’re just lonely souls, living in a hole of desperation
We’re made just to self-destruct
And in vain we give up, give up
I can’t control my anxieties
They’ve got a hold of my sanity
But how many times, can you start afresh?
How far can you run, when you’re all out of breath?

Yeah!
Yeah you’re so cold
But don’t you just know
You lack complete lucidity
So divide these lines
Where I think you’ll find
This house will never be a home
Bricks, mortar and stone
Doesn’t make this house a home
Yeah I feel so small
But don’t you just know
You lack complete lucidity
So divide these lines
Where I think you’ll find
This house will never be…
Bricks, mortar and stone
Never make this house a home
Thinking in the ocean, blinking in your mind
Sinking through tongues, but there’s nowhere to hide
Absence has grown weary, silence is in strength
Your mind misses you dearly, through lack of intent
Open your mind before your mouth
Open your mind before your mouth
Open your mind before your mouth
The seeds have been sown and the tree has burnt down
Open your mind before your mouth
An empty death is all you deserve
This was your fate, you’re rotting to the bone
You’ve become all you hate; you’re rotting to the bone
Open your mind before your mouth
The seeds have been sown and the tree has burnt down
Open your mind…
Yeah you’re so cold
But don’t you just know
You lack complete lucidity
So divide these lines
Where I think you’ll find
This house will never…
Yeah I feel so small
But don’t you just know
You lack complete lucidity
So divide these lines
Where I think you’ll find
This house will never be a home

I say we turn left, you claim that’s not right
You’ve lost sight
Lost our way, on the path we stumbled
Colour run, paper all fucking crumbled
The sought out route disclosed as ever
Hidden behind the sea of green
I blink my eyes, will I ever wake?
Projected by the blue, so true but so fake
Opening eyes, butterflies
As he walks from the shadow of the great oak tree
A smile appears upon his face
As he feels his soul dart around the place
At last he’s free, cast out at sea
The anchor shifting beneath his feet
Onwards he goes, adventure waits
North on approach of the golden gates
Now this boy, he’d seen so much
Given up on hope
Onwards he goes, adventure waits
Stop, look and live
Find your own way
Stop, look and live
Find your own way
Space time isn’t euclidean
This world is infinite and
No direction is certain
Until closed is the final curtain

By candle light I saw
What was once bleak above
I must say once more
That I found all to adore
Roses are red, oh so delicate like a needle and thread
Although it may decay, crumble to nothing but grey
The memories will live on
Cold days brought warm hearts
But now the ice melts
And I'm living in a world of cliché
Oh my dear, I have wanderlust
And when I’m with you I’m never lost
I’m exactly where I should be
Take me back to the great oak tree
As I’m living in a world of cliché
You set me free, I can finally breathe
Take me back to the great oak tree
You’re the most beautiful story ever told
And I want to get lost in your pages
Where happiness outweighs despair
Written on a paper with an ink oh so rare
Whilst the stone will slowly mould
A read displaying a beautiful to behold
Of a life more worthy than gold
You set me free, I can finally breathe
By candle light I saw
Once bleak above
I’ll say once more
That I found all to adore
Even when you have turned your back
On the passion and belief, you will believe
This feeling, the turning a new leaf
The one who’s been hiding, for life
Winding your soul, to cherish until old
And in death timing
A wonderful life, had it been binding
Mind, body and soul, down the long winding road
With fingers entwined, I walked as whole
By candle light I saw
Once bleak above
I’ll say once more
That I found all to adore
When in the grave, where I’ll lay
I’ll know those were the times of my life

Faceless
From the beginning I was searching for an end
I’ve got a death wish
I’m falling apart
This thing is faceless
And it breaks my heart
I’m feeling reckless
You know who you are
You’re off the hook
Whilst we’re burning alive
The number of times
I’ve tried to count your scars
You cannot lie and you cannot hide
And lay behind you pride
Picking up the pieces, piece it together
To watch it collapse as it’s so inclined
To tell the truth, I want to die
I’m at the end of my line
I’ve got a death wish
I’m falling apart
This thing is faceless
And it breaks my heart
I’m feeling reckless
You know who you are
You’re off the hook
Whilst we’re burning alive
To tell a lie, I want to die
But I’m afraid to say, I can’t survive
Confined to a life of broken minds
Uncovering abuse and regretting what I find
To tell a lie, I want to die
I will never forget the first time
That I heard those screams
Coming down the corridors
And when you laughed
At the madness, a sad irony
A tear that never left my eye
I see the countryside in the dark
With fields of green, surrounding the great oak tree
To tell a lie, I want to die
As the hand slips on through me
With the countryside appearing
As I feel the walls close on in
The great oak tree is burning
But I know, this is not it
Although I see, the people mourning
The siren sounds, the church bells ringing
The darkness enclosing, the soil falling
But I do not panic, I do not cry
Because I hear the same words over and over
To tell a lie, I want to die
