09 Fun in dark

There’s a voice upon the wind
Relentless with uncertainty
The changeling that calls my name
into the forest - come lay with me
Could I ever be safe there?
Lying beneath his warm canopy
Acclimate to his conditions 
Let the ground cover envelope me

Empty words on changing winds
A curious mind never at rest
Overtures and declarations
Veracity I may never test

What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
What do you want to see?
The hunters thrill is in the chase
when the prey is still mystery

He knows where to find me
He knows what he needs to do
Yet he calls me into the forest
With breadcrumbs as the clue
Flattery gets you everywhere
It’s gotten me this far
But following lovely whispers
Will surely leave me scarred

What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
The hunters thrill is in the chase
when the prey is still mystery

Come find me in the forest
Lay beneath my trees
You’re something special
The woman of my dreams
But wait I changed my mind
You’re better as mystery
Sunlight feeds my canopy
Jealousy is evergreen

What do you desire from me?
What motivates these words?
I’m not a deer in the headlights
Do you take me for a fool?

You want me cuz I’m not yours
I belong to someone else
Don’t forget you had your chance
When you left me on the shelf

So don’t tell me you love me
Implying I could be the one
I won’t venture into the forest
When I’m soaking up the sun

Into The Forest

I’ve been humbled by the silence
The stillness of my home at night
My children tucked away in dreams
Awaiting their patter at first light

This shape of me feels like a secret
Desire once distant, now near
No witness to this quiet truth
Except the ones I bore here

Oooooh here’s to ingratitude
Oooooh here’s to decisions
Here’s to the bed I now lie in
Here’s to cold derision

It just would’ve been nice
It would’ve been fine
It’s not the end of the world
That it was never mine
But the air is cold
In this house alone
These blessings suffice
It just would’ve been nice

Only they feel the way I stroke their hair
Noses pressed in secret play
It’s given they’ll know my tender care
I alone count mistakes each day

It just would’ve been nice
It would’ve been fine
It’s not the end of the world
That it was never mine
But the air is cold
In this house alone
These blessings suffice
It just would’ve been nice

When they sleep, the house is a grave
I’ve never had a hand to hold
No one to see how hard I try
I’m the only one to let it be told
It just would’ve been nice to have that person
A witness to these stories within
The house angel turns devil in streets
And I’ll never be seen apart from my sins

It just would’ve been nice
It would’ve been fine
It’s not the end of the world
That it was never mine
But the air is cold
In this house alone
These blessings suffice
It just would’ve been nice

Ooooh you made your bed
Ooooh now crumble in it
Ooooh this is your defect
And you must live in it

It Would Have Been Nice

I’m an avid lyricist and a maturing vocalist. I don’t let that get in my way though. Pouring my thoughts, feels and giggles into lyrics without hesitation and bringing stories to life.
