Tourniquet

Broken mirror on the wall, you give no reflection of me at all 
Your wicked ways I won’t understand, intoxicating weaker men
Rusting scissors in the draw pull me closer to a life no more 
Why am I so confused, unimpressed and unamused?
No, something’s not right. Open your arms to the sky. Focus the light 
It’s a combination of numbers, oh and a set of missing keys
I’ve been painting pictures but the colours disagree
And bad things come in threes
The wind is blowing, I am falling through a hurricane 
As buildings tear up from the ground 
No way of knowing where I’m going, circulating through the wildest night
Give into these sudden urges for more
Something’s not right. Open your arms to the sky. Focus the light 
I’ve been, I’ve been painting pictures
I can’t, I just can’t taste the freedom 
Stuck in a room full of voices, oh with nobody to be seen
I can sense the danger as the colours now agree
And the picture is obscene
The wind is blowing
I am falling through a hurricane as buildings tear up from the ground 
I can’t, I just can’t taste the freedom 
I’ve been, I’ve been painting pictures
Tempted and enticed, I neglected Eden
You know that I can’t, I just can’t (can’t) taste the freedom 
Give me forgiveness, total regression, remedy 
Double the vision, triple the tension, trickery 
Total division, given destruction, synergy
Double the vision now 
Give me devotion, total remission, remedy 
Double the vision, triple the tension, trickery 
Total division, given destruction, synergy
Give me devotion now 
Give me forgiveness, total regression, remedy 
Double the vision, triple the tension, trickery 
Total division, given destruction, synergy
Double the vision, how?

Utopia

You exist and you’re a friend of mine
Will we ever live in harmony?
You’re alive; it’s not the end of the line 
Will we ever learn? 
Cynical; the generations were abandoned here
No life is ever fair
When the mechanical fires are raging
The revolution’s here
I can breathe again. I choose to never let go or lose control 
See through the sights of a rifle
Live through the eyes of a child
Walk through the mind of a minor to extol
I must change because I’ve been chasing shadows 
Change. Immersed in the night, desperate and taken 
Change. Run with the pride of a lion
You exist and you’re a friend of mine
Will we ever live in harmony?
You’re alive; it’s not the end of the line 
I’m a failure; I’m the wreckage in the storm
I’m enlightened; unafraid I am reborn
Cynical; the generations were abandoned here
No life is ever fair
When the mechanical fires are raging
The revolution’s here

Phoenix

I’ll wait for you; run wild and aspire 
Thrive, burn young fire
When you say “fight back” our love won’t tire 
Unweathered and untethered light
I promise you and I will see it through
You lay dreaming
No time to sleep as I begin to weep
Life is fleeting
I tighten fast inside your tourniquet
Stop the bleeding
Your tenderness, your softened skin
All I needed
Your love is my tourniquet
Learn to rise, contain the pressure
This was supposed to be no miracle
Bow down because I’m under pressure once again 
I promise you, I promise you
Take my strength
I honour you with everything
Take my strength
I promise you and I will see it through
You lay dreaming?
The endless light you shine on me
All I needed
