Ashes for Dreams

It’ll take time, maybe it should 
I’d own your pain if I could
You’d do the same I know you would
There’s no right way to feel the hurt 
You’ll find your path, you’re not the first 
To think it’s something you deserve 

Give yourself a break
Let me give while you take, darlin' please

Lower your shoulders 
I meant what I told you 
Just let me hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 
I’m brave and I’m bold
And your life will unfold 
If you trust me to hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 

I saw you standing to the side 
Like you had something to hide 
And I was mesmerised 
I’m not sure why I’m drawn to you 
You seem so closed, but open too 
It’s in your eyes I see your truth 

Let your feelings out 
In a whisper or a shout, darlin' please

Lower your shoulders 
I meant what I told you 
Just let me hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 
I’m brave and I’m bold
And your life will unfold 
If you trust me to hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 

There’s no healing without feeling 
However pleasing to box away the pain 
Escape takes many shapes
But when you return the loss remains 

Lower your shoulders 
I meant what I told you 
Just let me hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 
I’m brave and I’m bold
And your life will unfold 
If you trust me to hold you 
And sweep all your demons away

Lower Your Shoulders

So disappointed
I wanted so much more
So disjointed
As I sink down to the floor
I’m reeling, I thought you were the one
But I see now, what's over hadn't ever begun

Such confusion
You said you'd be there till the end
But you used me and now you want to be my friend
I’m reeling - I don’t understand you
But I see now, you’re not the person
I thought I knew

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Just an illusion
So strong that I believed
Feeling bruised now
Maligned and deceived
I'm reeling, I thought you’d set me free
But I see now, you made a promise you could never keep

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Time to realise
I’ve been telling myself lies
I still want you
But moving on’s the only thing to do

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Feel The Heat

You remember somersaults
I remember falling
She remembers nothing
It felt like only days to you and years to me
And she remembers nothing

You remember finding me
A path I couldn't see
She remembers nothing
You were my voice
When I needed it most
And she remembers nothing

Every day you pray you'll find your way
As the end comes closer
I close my eyes in sweet denial
Don't think and it'll be over
You squeeze my hand to try and make me understand
This time, I'll hold her

You remember picking names
I wouldn't dare, I was too scared
And she remembers nothing
You felt excitement and joy
I blocked it all
And she remembers nothing

Every day you pray you'll find your way
As the end comes closer
I close my eyes in sweet denial
Don't think and it'll be over
You squeeze my hand to try and make me understand
This time, I'll hold her

Every stand taken was for her
Every wish granted
Every waking thought was of her
We wouldn't do it any other way but for her

Every day you pray you'll find your way
As the end comes closer
I close my eyes in sweet denial
Don't think and it'll be over
You squeeze my hand to try and make me understand
This time, I'll hold her

Somersaults

We’re not promised tomorrow
We need to live our lives right
I won’t barter or borrow
Our future for tonight

Never know what ahead of us
What lurks around the corner
Never know if our future
Is built on sand or mortar
I’m not wasting time, playing games
I won’t create a past, filled with shame

We’re not promised tomorrow
We need to live our lives right
I won’t barter or borrow
Our future for tonight

I don’t try to pretend
That I’m the greater person
I don’t judge, I don’t defend
I’m not better, I’m not worse
I don’t look at you like you failed
I’m not looking for souls to save

We’re not promised tomorrow
We need to live our lives right
I won’t barter or borrow
Our future for tonight

I won’t be paralysed
I have a goal and I’ll pursue it
And I am under no illusion
That I know best what to do
But I’ll proceed with a knowing air
No one knows what I choose not to share

Take your place, by my side
Don’t be scared, we’ll be fine
Don’t look left, don’t look right
Lock our dream in your sights

We’re not promised tomorrow
We need to live our lives right
I won’t barter or borrow
Our future for tonight

Sand or Mortar

Please don't speak for me
You don't know what I'm trying to say
Please don't try to feel my fear
Or wish it away
Don't pander or stand for me
Don't cry, don't you fight for me
The things that I hide
I don't want you to see

You're not me
You can't see
What I need to be free
Find yourself someone new
I'll do me, you do you

Please don't tell me what you think I want to hear
Please don't hide the truth to stop these tears
You think it's fine cos they're little white lies
They might be kind but they're still not right
So go, leave, shut the door
I don't want you here

You're not me
You can't see
What I need to be free
Find yourself someone new
I'll do me, you do you

Just because you want me doesn't mean that we'll succeed
I know you're convinced that we've got all we need
But it's not enough for me 
And I know deep down you see it

You're not me
You can't see
What I need to be free
Find yourself someone new
I'll do me, you do you

You Do You

The Blind Man and Dow Jones
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

You step out in the yard
and you walk out in the street
You are thinking about the future
and the blind man you will meet
He will give you all the answers
He can see what lies ahead
He turns around to face you
and he mutters "you are dead"

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

The blind man isn't playing
He is set to live offshore
He already had his fill
but he wants a whole lot more
You say go help your mother
and he says "she is a whore"
You don't like that kind of talk
so, you point him to the door

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

He says it never rains
then he says that she is dying 
There are things he can arrange
but he says he's sick of trying
He says she is in pain
It is time for all to quit
He would lay down on the floor
but he cannot stand the heat

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

The ice, it all has melted
and the water tastes like salt
The blind man cannot help you
He says it's all your fault
He says it's you who did it
But he poisoned every well
He thought that no one knew
He thought no one would tell

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

The smoke gets in his eyes
But he's blind, he doesn't care
He will take his plane and fly
He is getting out of there
The fire is getting closer
If you don't go, you will  die
But the blind man says "stay here"
and he offers you some pie

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

You sit down by his side
and you stare into the flames
You eat your pie with ashes
and you talk of who's to blame
The blind man knows the answer
He knows that you know too
He could always see the future
He knew it would be you

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

Don't we, Dow Jones?

Don't we, Dow Jones?

Most of the lyrics are quotes of Hina Jilani
https://pakistanswomenheroes.wordpress.com/tag/hina-jilani/
______
“Human rights are not embodied and protected by declarations, conventions or pieces of legislation; they are embodied and protected by people. It is people who go out to claim their rights, it is people who realize their freedoms.”

“Today, peace can no longer be associated only with the absence of war. Communities are besieged by violence in the name of religion, ethnicity and rejection of diverse identities…”

"This house has seen a lot of violence...."

 “Nobody brings about change single-handedly. There are many people who are legendary, who have influenced events in the world, but behind them there is always a collective effort.”

Some lyrics include lines from my poem Eye to Eye

Watching All The Planes

Twisted Fate

Twisted fate
Met too late
Won’t take the bait
So don’t wait to be mine
Twisted fate
Won’t hesitate 
I’ll tell you straight 
Don’t have to wait for a sign

I love you, know I shouldn’t
You are spoken for as am I
I’d love to though I wouldn’t
Take you low and take you high

Please forgive me
Hold my hand
And nothing more tonight 
I know I promised to commit to you
If it felt right

Twisted fate
Met too late
Won’t take the bait
So don’t wait to be mine
Twisted fate
Won’t hesitate 
I’ll tell you straight 
Don’t have to wait for a sign

I’ve tried to forget you 
Tried to get you out of my mind
Can’t justify the way I feel
I know I tried

Please forgive me
Hold my hand
And nothing more tonight 
I can’t commit to you 
It’ll never be right

Twisted fate
Met too late
Won’t take the bait
So don’t wait to be mine
Twisted fate
Won’t hesitate 
I’ll tell you straight 
Don’t have to wait for a sign

Why did we meet
If only I’d never felt your touch
Cos the loss of it is too great 
It hurts too much

Twisted fate
Met too late
Won’t take the bait
So don’t wait to be mine
Twisted fate
Won’t hesitate 
I’ll tell you straight 
Don’t have to wait for a sign

You'll find me also here in my collaboration project with Johan Alm https://soundcloud.com/ashesfordreams

Ashes for Dreams is the Irish/Swedish band project of Johan Alm (https://soundcloud.com/jambrains) and Karen O’Mahony (https://soundcloud.com/monnodb).

Both coming from completely different cultures and musical backgrounds - incorporating between them classical, traditional, folk and rock - they had each previously produced solo work vastly different to the other’s. 

Johan’s style is heavy rock with a unique and gritty vocal style and guitar work admired and envied by many. Karen’s natural home is more folk, which to their surprise works beautifully in a heavy rock setting. Together, they are a magical combination, particularly when they duet - their distinctive voices blending as if made for each other!
