Lighthouse - Skye Blake

'Cause in the back of my mind is an angry bird and she's afraid I won't put her first.
'Cause I clipped her wings and left her things for the vultures and poachers to thieve.
'Cause in the back of my mind is an angry bird and she's afraid I won't put her first.
'Cause I clipped her wings and left her things for the vultures and poachers to thieve.

I won't fool you just because I want to, just because I want to.
I won't fool you just because I want to, and that's why we'll burn.
And that's why we'll burn.

And is it alright now if I watch your wandering eyes?
And I wonder now, are you waiting for the fall, waiting for the fall?
Fly away boy, far from the mist, 'cause I promise you there's nothing you'll miss.
Fly away boy, far from this place, and that way we'll both be safe.

I won't fool you, just because I want to, just because I want to.
I won't fool you, just because I want to, just because I want to.
I won't fool you, just because I want to, and that's why we'll burn.
And that's why we'll burn.

And there's disdain in your eyes, but I don't mind, because I won't lie.
And there's disdain in your eyes, but I don't mind, because you'll find.

I won't fool you, just because I want to, just because I want to.
I won't fool you, just because I want to, just because I want to.
I won't fool you, just because I want to, and that's why we'll burn.
Oh fool, fool. And that's why we'll burn.
Oh fool, oh fool. And that's why we'll burn.
And that's why we'll burn.

FOOL - Original Song // Skye Blake

So the poor boy, without a penny to rub, looks above and wonders 'Who could ever love
A poor boy?' So he drags his heavy feet and then he meets a girl with a bag of sweets, and she says,
'Poor boy, you're just skin and bone. My heart's not stone, so lets go home and you'll never be alone.' But
The poor boy, lost in his own mind, succumbs to pride and with a smile he merely says, 'I'm fine. I'm fine.'

Come lie with me, who needs the truth? Not me and you.
Come lie with, with our heads between our knees.
Come lie with me, who needs the truth? Not me and you.
Come lie with, with our heads between our knees.

So the lost girl, with bruises from last night, hides behind make-up darker than her eyes. Oh,
The lost girl, with cuts behind her sleeves, says, 'Oh, please, take me far away from me.' But
The lost girl was the only one who heard, to the mirror she turned, she stared at her, and out came the words, 'Hello,
Lost girl. How are you today?' 'Oh, not too bad,' she went on to say, 'I really can't complain. Can't complain.'

Come lie with me, who needs the truth? Not me and you.
Come lie with, with our heads between our knees.
Come lie with me, who needs the truth? Not me and you.
Come lie with, with our heads between our knees.

I am nameless, just an observer who lately learned that life will only hurt. Call me
Nameless, maybe call me Jess, it can be my identity test. I can't
Be nameless, but I will remain unknown, so no one will go, 'I do hope so, that stranger made it home.' 
I won't make it home, no.

Come lie with me, who needs the truth? Not me and you.
Come lie with, with our heads between our knees.
Come lie with me, who needs the truth? Not me and you.
Come lie with, with our heads between our knees.
Come lie with me, come lie with me, come lie with me.

LIE WITH ME - Original Song // Skye Blake

And I wanted to kiss you today,
Say goodbye and let it be what it may.
And I wanted to send you on your way,
Forget, forget and let fate have its say.

It's not the distance that scares me,
It's the whisper of a tragedy.
It's not the time that will pain me,
But what will be. Tell me, what will be?

I know that you feel it too and I know that you feel it too.
And it's slowly sinking in, and it's slowly sinking in.

And this is my first leap of faith and I don't expect to be caught.
But I don't care anymore, whatever this is, I'm in this.
I'm in this.
And I don't expect to be caught and I don't expect to be fought for.

And I won't sit idly by and wait for this to run dry,
'Cause there's this natural rhythm that throws me off beat.
And all I can think of are bad clichés, bad turns of phrase.
And there's this damn timing in which I can't compete.

I know that you feel it too and I know that you feel it too.
And it's slowly sinking in, and it's slowly sinking in.

And this is my first leap of faith and I don't expect to be caught.
But I don't care anymore, whatever this is, I'm in this.
I'm in this.
And I don't expect to be caught and I don't expect to be fought for.

My first leap of faith.
It's slowly sinking in and it's slowly sinking in.
And it's slowly sinking in and it's slowly sinking in.

I'M IN THIS - Original Song // Skye Blake

The trees are telling me all I need to know,
The air is stiff and sharp, babe, telling me my foe.
It's time to listen, not say that I can, but I'm terrified of where I'll land.
The air is stiff and sharp, baby.

At some point past the horror, the fear, the scar,
You learn to live the way you have so far.
At some point past the silence, the tears, the cold,
You're left to resent the bones and the mould.

Like a baby bird with her mouth open wide
Desperate for something to keep her alive.
Like a baby bird with her mouth open wide
Desperate for something to keep her alive.

Towards the end you learn there's nothing left,
You simply have no choice but to accept.
But I keep this head, I keep this head far and free,
And there's the quiet, some distance away from me.

I expected ash to grow white wings,
I expected hope to fix all things.
You were never built for the underground
Down far from your mama, never to be found.

Like a baby bird with her mouth open wide
Desperate for something to keep her alive.
Like a baby bird with her mouth open wide
Desperate for something to keep her alive.
Keep her alive.
Keep her alive.
Keep her alive.
Alive.

KEEP HER ALIVE - Original Song // Skye Blake

And I know you don't mean
What you say to me
Sometimes,
Sometimes.

'Cause what I feel is too real to be downplayed.
'Cause what I feel is too real.

And like you said, we're all just candles in the wind,
And right now I feel a gust...

But still it hurts
To know that you don't believe
Me - and what this
Happens to be.

'Cause what I feel is too real to be downplayed, downplayed.
'Cause what I feel is too real.

And like you said, we're all just candles in the wind,
And right now I feel a gust coming in, coming in.
Well it might all go wrong, but you live well you don't live long.
We're just candles in the wind.

Don't belittle me,
Don't belittle me
And what he is starting to mean
To me.

'Cause what I feel is too real to be downplayed, downplayed.
'Cause what I feel is too real.

And like you said, we're all just candles in the wind,
And right now I feel a gust coming in, coming in.
Well it might all go wrong, but you live well you don't live long.
We're just candles in the wind,
We're just candles in the wind,
We're just candles in the wind.

And I know you don't mean
What you say to me
Sometimes,
Sometimes.

CANDLES - Original Song // Skye Blake

My dream is to be a songwriter, so it's time to stop hiding.
