LYRICS 
----------------------------------------------------
Arrows shrapnel in my heart
… arrows shrapnel in my heart…
Aching breaking taking me back 
To the Start 
… to the Start …
Arrows shrapnel in my heart ​

Enter the Spiral  
The Void Alive   
        t h e  V O I D  A L I V E 

Weaving … its secrets   
Whispering old wounds
Lulled in old wombs ​
Echoes behind the Walls  
Beneath the Floorboards
Beyond the Membrane
To take me back 
Echoes beyond the Walls
Beneath the floorboards
Beyond the Membrane.     
Taking me back… 

To the Start  
T o  t h e  S t a r t ​
Beyond the Fall…
With eyes rolled Under
To break asunder
To row between 

Echoing on… Beyond the Fall
Between the lines
Betwixt two Sides
I serve Two Masters  
Watch me  g r  o  w 
The rolling Thunder in me

In me…

Spriralling on 
the looping thread
The Points in Line
To form the Story of our Kind

The Name
The Name is a Calling
Not of your choosing and not of mine
The Name… the Voice is Calling
Into the Falling
None of my Own 
All of my Own

I can’t believe 
the Starlit Blunders
A life of Wonders in Me… in me
The Eye in the Sky 
Its not Mine 
To know where I came 
Remember the Source… 

Yet something… something something…. 
Something about Tomorrow is Mine
And I need to remember 
I need to remember !

Beyond the Gender
And each falling verse
Your Mothers lullabies a curse
Your fathers prayers the dreams of your ancestors 
.
.
.
Come Back
Back from the brink 
The Future succinct 
Start it all over
And I heard you sing 
I heard you sing
In the back of my Eye 
In the back of my Mind

You learned to hide
To blind your mind    
Remember remember…. And Come back
Back from the Brink the future succinct 
Start it all Over… 

Tracing your shape
At bends the space 
Between the timelines 
Between the lifelines
Our Souls Tracks 
They weave and part 
Around in  S p i r a l s … 

To know what it is to Remember 
To know what it is to Find the Buried Treasure
The Blind leads the blind
Yet somehow, somehow.... 
we’re arriving

In the Centre of this  S p i r a l 
The Heart of the  V O I D

To Eat the Horizon
To Marry the Soil
To bring us Under
Soaring High
To bring us Under
And soaring High

To weave the Vortex 
Of Ocean-tide
Weaving the Vortex 
Where Oceans hide

To Flow with the River-Veins
Spiral the Weather Vanes 
Crackle the fire’s Sparks 
Smearing the ashes 

to the spiralling Stars
With the pathways of potential futures crossing
It the back of my eyes
In the back of my Mind

To lose and find 
Remember again 
And start it all over

          . . . start it all over

You’ll Never Know…
