One Man Does Not a Family Make (demo)

Won’t You Go Away?

Conscience unsettles me
and I don’t know why.
Sometimes I wake and call for someone
to calm the waves. 
Covered in gasoline?
come this a way
Plenty to set alight
at this time of day.

When I sing me light and dark.
When I settle on the stage.

Come the southern wind.
Come to save this rotten day.
Come to stay my little shame.
Come to see the waves.
Come to kiss the night’s lips. 

You said I wasn’t…

All the frozen dare to dream.
They all sound the same.
Can you calm the state of me?
When I kill I cannot sleep.

My dreams -
They said I wasn’t whole.
All the children were the same. 

Won’t you go away?
Won’t you go away? 

The sail is just my coat. 
Tonight you get your own. 
It sounds a bit like gold.

I never said it wasn’t so.
