2017 COLDEN

LIVE SESSION JUNE 2017

Hate has replaced all that is joyful but that's alright, if here tonight we can be joyful.
Fake has replaced all that was real but that's alright, if here tonight we can be real.
The feeling is wasted.

Feeling is wasted

Women define me.
The tears I cry taste stronger than the booze that helps me lose my mind. The sleepless nights last longer than the dreams I dreamed in years gone by. The loving sea feels colder, the beauty from the sun has shadows no more. A harder wind blows through here. I didn't leave my home my home left me. 
Women define me.
I want to go back in time and kiss you at the top of the big wheel. Through the air your lips are stone carved into curves I want tooth feel. I'd travel north to go south or west if it meant being with you in your room. You drove me wildly over hills singing songs up to the super moon.
Women define me. Women don't define me.

Women define me

It's good for thoughts to have some place to go. Instead of crowding the mind and tongue tying the toes. They must get out and meet with the world. To kiss, to try like flowers unfurled.
If they stay locked like fire in the fuel they can't light the room. Then they're no use to me and they can't light new things up for you.
That's why its good for thoughts to have some place to go. Instead of crowding the mind and tongue tying the toes. They must get out and meet with the world. To kiss to try like flowers unfurled.

It's good

I need to tell you now. I don't know how. To get my heart to show. I have to let you go. You think you're close to me. But I am like the sea. That answers to the moon. In truth I don't see you.
You need to tell me now. You don't know how. To get your heart to grow. You have to let me go. I see you from above. You don't know how to love. I opened up too soon. In truth I don't see you.

Love me now

I self doubt like the sun comes out. Every single day in every single way. I self doubt. You catastrophise where others use their eyes. Mirror to your chaos, there's never a day off. You catastrophise.
Now that I've worked you out let me work it out and let me be me again. With the moon at my back I can relax and I can be.
Now that you've worked me out let me work it out and let me be me again. With the moon at my back I can relax and I can be.

Work it out

They say stay away from things that aren't good for you. That's an easy thing to say it's much harder to do. I should be the kind of guy that wakes up fine. But more and more just four things play on my mind.
I don't know where it begins but something's rotten within. I don't know who I can tell that I've been living in hell. I know it's no use to you that this is all I can do. I don't know what it's about but music can get me out.
