shadows

i guess tonight i’m not eating again
my stomach gently reminding me i’m not yet dead
i guess i’ve got some friends to see
but i’ve been in this room so long it’s not looking likely 
shadows are lurking
i’m dreaming a person
to come let the dirt in
i’ve been under lock and key

i’m lurking
i’ve been half a person
i can’t let the dirt in
wonder what’ll set me free

and honestly
i don’t mind the cage i made for me
maybe i’ll never leave

so i guess tonight i’m not eating again
i’d better clip my wings

Shadows

made for dreamers.

daydream

sleepless nights are promised
your hope’s a flame
they’ll tell you crying in the wind is sure as rain

the path is treaded less for reasons i can’t explain
a kid like me, faint hearted was sure to change

falling in and out of a lovesick daydream
been waiting for my time and now it’s here
hold on to the moment cos life’s a freight train
23 and my eyes begin to blur

butterflies are toxic
my heart’s in sync
they’ll tell you
listen to the beating
you’re sure to win

i’m right here 
on the rocks
and we might just slip
but i found a home in the wind
so strap right in

what could i even say to me 
in 2015
staring at the ceiling

life’s a bean

poison in my teeth and i can’t breathe
if i had my time again don’t change a thing
this cliff’s one ugly bitch
but the view’s amazing
there’s a smile in my eyes
that i can’t hide

HILLS

Under covers with a missing piece
Only a ceiling seeing underneath
Sunshine and I feel complete
But in the night something’s out of reach

And I’ve peeked around every corner of every street
Hoping some apparition sweeps me off my feet

Don’t try to understand it
Can’t practice the words I preach
Butterflies and razor blades
Say I can’t speak

1 step forward, 2 steps back, I’m coming up
Confident, calm, a sense of charm, a heart attack
Free as a bird, just can’t find the words and now I see
All that I want, set off the alarm, I’m running for the hills

Found a place in the shade
Never touched by the rain
Years are floating away
I could get used to this

No one here knows my name
In fact, there’s no one here at all
No one to take my call

I found a peace in the breeze
Just lying under the trees
All the time in the world to think

Maybe I’ve found what life means
But see, there’s no one here to tell
Write down some fears to sell

1 step forward, 2 steps back, I’m coming up
Confident, calm, a sense of charm, a heart attack
Free as a bird, just can’t find the words and now I see
All that I want, set off the alarm, I’m running for the hills

I could see for miles
Just keep checking on my lap
Never know what might fall from the sky

1 step forward, 2 steps back, I’m coming up
Confident, calm, a sense of charm, a heart attack
Free as a bird, just can’t find the words and now I see
All that I want, set off the alarm, I’m running for the hills

The middle of the night and I’m the only one awake.
It’s these moments in the dark I most feel the ancient ache.
I keep my eyes open and my gaze straight ahead.,
I’m too scared to move due to the feelings of dread.
The darkness is calling to me, I can feel it’s pull.
It’s not a request, nothing’s been misunderstood.
I refuse to give in. Today is not the day.
I squeeze my eyes shut and begin to pray.
If you’ve experienced the dark, you’ve felt this before.
It’s that little whisper to take yourself to war.
