A Sailor once more-Glen McPhee

Close your eyes and fall into nothing
What a bizarre way to cope
Did you forget all your functions?
You don't sleep you just lie in a hole

Do you see, do you see
you're the depth of the sea?
In a shell 
washing up on the coast

Paralyzed, periled eye
are you watching me die?
Can you give me
what I need to grow?

Run and hide
Ruin a life
What a sweet little lie
Don't you know that my heart is gold?

Cover your eyes
Cherry pie
Wipe the blood on the side

You are what you eat
What a lovely disease

It springs from nothing
Then it goes back to wherever it goes
Would you push the button?
Would you live on your feet or die on your knees?

I'm begging for something
Your kiss is like a bloody rose
Do you know what love is?

Remove my heart as it beats
What an ugly relief

Just a little consumption
Then it follows you wherever it goes
Did you work up the gumption
to exorcise all of the ghosts?

Its a dream
Its a dream
Its laced with PCP
Cigarettes on a sinking boat

Do you believe in reprieve?
Soak it up with the leaves
Spring is the season of hope

Run and hide
Ruin a life
What a sweet little lie
Don't you know that my heart is gold?

Cover your eyes
Cherry pie
Wipe the blood on the side

And you are what you eat
What a lovely disease

Had an idea for this song for like 10 years and written it a few different times but happy with this version. 

It's roughly about falling for a girl who all the boys like and comes and goes often.

Direct influences for this song:

1) Brilliant disguise - Bruce Springsteen
2) Somebody To Love - 1975
3) Runaways - The Killers
4) Want You Back - Haim

Señorita

Teach me not to look at people
Teach them not to look at me
Let us bury our intentions
At the bottom of the sea
When my confidence is shaken
When I'm broke down on my knees
How will I know I'm not forsaken
When I'm dyin and no one sees

Oh, no 
Soul saver come and knock on my door
No good can come of it
No good can come of it

I went down to the water so I could breathe
I went into the dark so I could see
If there's still any light that lives in me

There's a thousand fingers pointing
No one knows just what I've done
When the only other option's 
The unmentionable one
Well I'm bailing out in April
But my time ain't up til June
They threw me out for bad behavior
I ain't welcome back here soon

Oh, no
Soul saver come and knock on my door
No good can come of it
No good can come of it

I went down to the water so I could breathe
I went into the dark so I could see
If there's still any light that lives in me
Can you give me a reason why I should stay
You'll be better without me anyway
But don't forget about me when you pray

Father lift me
To Heavenly
Heights, the sights I've 
Seen have left me
Hopeless, heartless
Hurt and empty
When will I see 
Light

Soul Saver

I know it's hard to turn away
So hard to let go, oh
My dear from here
It don't appear 
So wrong
No one can tell you not to stay
What did they say
To close your eyes
And keep you so lost
For so long
But can they save  you from the misery and pain
Can they make you never feel this way again
Would they hang around and bleed for you my friend
Or be untrue
'Cause baby even when the fire comes down like rain
Baby even when you take my name in vain
When your hope is gone and not a soul remains
I'll be with you

C: You better run home now
You better run home
Your world is in darkness
You're out here alone
You better run on now
You better run on
Been feelin so strong
Till your grace is all gone

Outside your tower late at night
You watched a shining light
And followed though its voice
Was like the grave
Now look how hard you're running
You saw the quickly coming
End to that sweet sickness
That it gave
But through your window what was beautiful and good
Shattered in on you and drew a little blood
'Cause the only thing you ever understood
Is all over you
And in the dark imagination running wild
Can never hurt you like it hurt you as a child
When your sanctuary begs to be defiled
What can you do

C:

Better Run

Too Much To Ask

Do Not Stand

LYRICS:

A thought enters my mind
It’s only a matter of pride
I can’t let it go
I won’t let it go
It comes from deep inside
This rooted fear that I am not enough
I am never enough

I take a look around 
And all that I’ve found is love
But is it really love
If it’s felt under cover of a drug?

No...I think that’s lust
And I pick my courage up
And drink it down
I think too much
No matter how hard I try
I can’t seem to quiet
Quiet my mind

Lately I’ve been thinking 
Wondering where my heads been 
When they’re not around
I’ve been a bit more selfish 
I’m trying to be more reckless
Yeah, I know how that sounds 

I take a look around 
And all that I’ve found is love
But is it really love
When it’s felt under cover of a drug?

That’s lust
I pick my courage up
Drink it down
And I think too much
No matter how I try
I can’t seem to quiet my mind
