A co write with Carol Beckwith

Circled Stone

Resting light,  start of day
Swathe of crystal mapped with grey
Dappled, spotted, lies awake
Circled stones against the grain

Shoulders heavy, now begun
Craving rain in the sun
Far off shadows, mottled blue
Circled stones are they mocking you

The shifting rays and the stones unite,
Like choir voices in the dawning light


And all are equal, each is made
Disconnected, but unashamed
Sitting proudly, on display
Circled stones won’t fade away

Circled Stone  (Banks/Beckwith)

SAW week 13 Cracked Paint 13-(IT CONSUMES ME)
CRACKED PAINT- WEEK 13 (MY RENO SONG)

IN THE DIM DULL LIGHT OF DAWNING
AS I LIE IN HOPE N WAIT 
THERES A FACE I SEE EACH MORNING
IN THE CEILING’S LOOSE CRACKED PAINT

ITS NOT SMILING
IT DOESN’T SCARE ME 
IT CONSUMES ME

I SHOULD DO SOME RENOVATION
COVER UP EACH TINY FLAW
MEND THE WINDOW SAND THE FLOOR BOARDS
FIX THE HANDLE ON THE DOOR
BUT I'D MISS IT 
THIS LITTLE WONDER 

IT CONSUMES ME

COVER UP THE ANGER
DISSIPATE THE PAIN
LINGER HERE FOREVER
RUN INTO THE RAIN

it consumes me

in these waking hours
in the bitter tears
we can talk about the flowers
HIDE AWAY OUR FEARS

COVER UP THE ANGER
DISSIPATE THE PAIN
LINGER HERE FOREVER
RUN INTO THE RAIN

IT CONSUMES ME
IT CONSUMES ME
IT CONSUMES ME

Bloodrush

Bloodrush (original demo)

We built a life, just you and me
We needed nothing more
Closed the curtains to keep the world away
Turned down the lights, locked the door

Your words spoken gently
Were they meant to deceive? 
Your promises made sweetly
Were they broken with ease?

Don’t leave, please stay, you owe me
Stay, don’t leave or I’ll destroy you

I thought you were protecting me
Now I see that I was locked away
While you broadened your horizon
I lost every hand you played

Don’t leave, please stay, you owe me
Stay, don’t leave or I’ll destroy you

Rain pours down darkened windows
I throw them open to get some air
Let the water wash over me
As I try to clear the pain

Don’t leave, please stay, you owe me
Stay, don’t leave or I’ll destroy you

Step gently, tread with care
Don’t do something you’ll regret
If you leave, you can’t come back Are you ready for that?

Don’t leave, please stay, you owe me
Stay, don’t leave or I’ll destroy you

Wise Emily - BotW Version
