Push Button Press

Here to waste the passing hours
In a haze but separate from myself
To dream of what is still undone
Dream of what is yet to come 
Then close my eyes to what I embrace
How can I find what shines despite 
an emptiness that seems alive?
Here to take the silence downward
In the wake of whats eternally denied
The thoughts that smolder as long as numbers
Thoughts that betray us ever onward
Like the one eyed leading the blind
How can I still deny when I cannot make myself shine?
How can I find the way to control
When each moment decides the pain inside?
Foretold.


Foretold

Instincts that can still betray us,
A journey that leads to the sun,
Soulless and bent on destruction,
A struggle between right and wrong.
You take my place in the showdown,
I'll observe with a pitiful eye,
I'd humbly ask for forgiveness,
A request well beyond you and I.
Heart and soul, one will burn.
An abyss that laughs at creation,
A circus complete with all fools,
Foundations that lasted the ages,
Then ripped apart at their roots.
Beyond all this good is the terror,
The grip of a mercenary hand,
When savagery turns all good reason,
There's no turning back, no last stand.
Heart and soul, one will burn.
Existence well what does it matter?
I exist on the best terms I can.
The past is now part of my future,
The present is well out of hand.
Heart and soul, one will burn.

I HAVE SLEPT WITH ALL THE GIRLS IN BERLIN – Unreleased Sisters of Mercy 

Shake me down again 
I can wake up in this zoo 
I've been used and abused 
I've been chased and I've been bruised
I can take what I've been through  
I’ve been naked on the news 
I've been debased and disabused 
Just leave me downtown when you're through  

Turn me over 
Turn me in 
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin 

Girls who weep and girls who strip
Girls in bars and girls on tips  
Girls on journeys, girls on trips 
Girls on gurneys, girls on drips 
Girls like you with poison tips 
Girls like you like pistol whips
Girls in overzealous green with a third degree in jealousy 

Turn me over 
Turn me in 
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin 

Girls who smoke and girls on weed
Girls on coke and girls on speed 
Girls who choke and girls that smile 
Girls who swallow in denial 
Girls in crisis, ultra hip
Eyes like Isis, wide as Egypt 
The girl you found with pale blue lips so you can shake me down again 

Turn me over 
Turn me in 
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin

I Have Slept With All The Girls In Berlin (Sisters of Mercy Cover)

I Have Slept With All The Girls In Berlin - The Sisters Of Mercy

The Mire and the Sea

Nothing is ever meant to stay
It all just seems to fall away
Everything seen
Are only momentary things
Emotion given then withheld
A regret of futures left unknown
Taken away but once
Then can never be undone

Wir können es nicht ändern
We can not change

We are to the wilderness
Then left to the shore
Left within the mire
When treacheries take hold
We are left to the sea
Then we are left within the glade
Left to the oceans
An exile again

Stillness now normalcy
As generations stand
Search for echoes fading
Within some imaginary past

Wir können es nicht ändern
We can not change

The Mire and the Sea

The Mire And The Sea

Clever disguise
Fear a tempests stay alive
Empty hands melt rage like ice
Danger arrives
Passions frigid wells run dry, 
lachrymal burn stinging eyes
Nowhere to hide
Takes its toll then takes its time
A void where reflections reflections reveal their eyes
Cry in the rain
Cry Carol Anne
End it with a wave of a hand
It's over then 
Cry in the rain
Cry Carol Anne
Let the water clean your face


Sloven and tired
Weight upon the shoulders bind
Stones roll down back behind
Sympathy denied
Look to find how it began
Aligning stars return again
Cry in the rain
Cry Carol Anne
End it with whisper of 
forgotten words 
Cry in the rain
Cry Carol Anne
Another soul can never define 
The loneliness to 
Cry in the rain
Cry Carol Anne
Let the water clean your face
