The Man

Gilad Hekselman – Far Away from Home Contest 2022

Gilad Heksleman - Long Way From Home

We all take a little more
Than we need
I take from you
Your peace of mind
To keep
Near
Me

We all take a little more
Than we need
You take from me
These tears that bind
I want
To be
Free of me

Don’t blame me
For all 
For all that you didn’t do

The bones of me
You say you guard
Are collected in a row
You tend to them
They are
Your prey

I will never move past the harm
It serves me far too well
You regret your part
That is
your role
To play

Don’t blame me
For all 
For all that you didn’t do

Upon your guilt I throw my lance
My excuse to take apart
Those words you meant
So long 
Ago

Upon my doubts you love to dance
My weakness keeps you strong
I have no hopes
So why’d you go
Away

Don’t blame me
For all 
For all that you didn’t do

The Fix

Download

When all that you believe in 
Turns you in for the crime
Who am I to say 
What’s right

The doors they open inward
Each one is an answer why
That faith attempts
to deny

With knives
They call

With knives
They call me

With knives

The fabric of her dress says
home is far behind her
She sold her scars
To the light

She decorates the void with
The chaos that surrounds her
She lost the count 
To the fight

With knives
They call

With knives
They call me

With knives

I have felt the pain of
The wheel that spins in its place
And never touches
Road to drive

Maybe it’s too late for me
To waste time with daydreams
Have I crossed the
Finish line

With knives
They call

With knives
They call me

With knives

With Knives

When the end
Comes for you
No amount of bargaining
Will start your time anew

When the dark
Plays your song
The lies that you found comfort in
Won’t change that you were wrong
You were wrong

It’s your turn
Meet the man
He only deals in absolutes
Be careful where you stand

It’s your chance
You’ve got one
Better get your conscience clear
Now tell him what you done
What you done

I’m walking to the river
‘Cause I’ve got nothing to lose
With my pockets full of worries
And heartache in my boots

As the day
Writes the news
The disappointed hours pass
And fall away unused

As the sands
Drift along
The only thing for certain
Is you’ll miss it when it’s gone
When it’s gone

I’m walking to the river
‘Cause I’ve got nothing to lose
With my pockets full of worries
And heartache in my boots

Introspective

Oh, pretty little dove
Won't you take a ride with me?
Oh, pretty little dove
Aren't you tired of your own two feet?
Oh, pretty little dove

I will make you want me
You had better want me
I will make you

I know what you are
You know what you are
I know what you are

Oh, pretty little dove
All alone out on these streets
Oh, pretty little dove
I will give you a life so sweet
Oh, pretty little dove

I will make you fear me
You had better fear me
I will make you

I know what you are 
You know what you are
I know what you are

Oh, pretty little dove
I clipped your wings nice and neat
Oh, pretty little dove
You won't fly away from me
Oh, pretty little dove

I will make you serve me
You had better serve me
I will make you

I know what you are
You know what you are
I know what you are

Pretty little dove
Pretty little dove
Pretty little dove

Pretty Little Dove

I follow the sound 
As it winds through the floor 
And empties into the room below 

Where the portraits are painted 
In echo and rumor 
I tighten the blindfold 
To soften the fall 

And you 
You won’t change 
You’ll never let it go 
Until the grave is named 

And you 
You can’t see 
That my armor is a cage 
And even though I try 
The dragon slays me 

You’re so cold 
Like blood from stone 

I follow the sound 
As it winds through the floor 
And empties into the room below 

Where I sit at the table 
And stare out of the window 
I try to understand 
Why I make it so hard 

I’ve moved 
Out of range 
My life has missed the mark 
A bullet gone astray 

I flew out to sea 
Where my colors have dissolved 
In a tattered free fall 
And I can’t save me 


You’re so cold 
Like blood from stone 

I follow the sound 
As it winds through the floor 
And empties into the room below 

Where the moment turned fatal 
Seconds lead to forever 
But what happened next 
I can’t recall 

And you 
You won’t change 
You’ll never let it go 
Until the bomb is named 

And you 
You don’t see 
That my armor is a cage 
And even though I try 
The dragon slays me 

You’re so cold 
Like blood from stone

Lyrics:

When the end
Comes for you
No amount of bargaining
Will start your time anew

When the dark
Plays your song
The lies that you found comfort in
Won’t change that you were wrong
You were wrong

It’s your turn
Meet the man
He only deals in absolutes
Be careful where you stand

It’s your chance
You’ve got one
Better set your conscience clear
Now tell him what you done
What you done

I’m walking to the river
‘Cause I’ve got nothing to lose
With my pockets full of worries
And heartache in my boots

As the day
Writes the news
The disappointed hours pass
And fall away unused

As the sands
Drift along
The only thing for certain
Is you’ll miss it when it’s gone
When it’s gone

I’m walking to the river
‘Cause I’ve got nothing to lose
With my pockets full of worries
And heartache in my boots

The stain
The blood upon her lips sustains
The teeth wash down the sink
The plots of the gods and the stars
Remains

You won’t always know your way
You won’t always know
Your way home

Obscene
The bruise upon her cheek pleading
The truth lost in the wash
Peck out the eyes of the locks
Released

You set them adrift
And lose them
You divide them in two
And rule them
You break them apart
And use them up

Lorraine Lorraine
You poison at the root
Lorraine Lorraine
You scold the gentle fruits
Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine
Lorraine Lorraine
You’ll reap what you sow

She prays
Intent falls through the cracks ablaze
Burn the witch alive
Wrap up her ashes in locks
And chains

You won’t always know your way
You won’t always know
Your way home

Lorraine Lorraine
You poison at the root
Lorraine Lorraine
You scold the gentle fruits
Lorraine Lorraine Lorraine
Lorraine Lorraine
You’ll reap what you sow
