I’ve been waiting lately 
Like a seed in the darkness 
Waiting for the spring 

Wouldn’t come in summertime
Just salt in the water
The season on my skin

Took a little time to realise
That my mind isn’t always on my side
Open up your eyes
It takes a fool to try and fight the rising tides

I’ve been waiting weightless 
Like a cloud hangs
Waiting for the fall
Like water in the wintertime 
Needing the cold to come
And take shape after all

Took a little time to realise
That my mind isn’t always on my side
Open up your eyes
It takes a fool to try and fight the rising tides
It takes a fool to try and fight the rising tides

what a time
you and i
proper love, summertime
you took my eyes when
we said goodbye and
promised you would write

days later your note showed
yet to this day, unknown

i took your letter
To the sea
and I let it go
all the words you
wrote to me
i’ll never know

i hideaway
day by day for your good
to keep you safe
i cannot say if
this consecration is one
of fear or fate

raise your glass, toast to the end
here's to all that might have been

i took your heart down
to the sea
and i let it go
all the love you
had for me
i'll never know

my devotion
it won't leave
i can't let it go
every moment
endlessly
you'll never know

Song meaning: I wrote decay as a way of saying out loud how lonely I was when experiencing grief. When I lost my friend to suicide, one of the first thoughts was how it could be her - she was so adored and yet must’ve felt so unwanted.

lyrics
VERSE 1
Tiring
Tell me where I’m meant to go All your leaves will ever grow I’ve burnt them all outside Finding
Better ways to let it go Caught you feeling ever low Tell me I’m alright
PRE 1
Showed me you were hurting Slipped through a crowd Said you were a burden
Are you happy now ?
CHORUS 1
Though I’m sure
You know that your adored Why’d you go do that for ? What were you hoping for ? Called you friend Wondering till the end
Were you hiding then ? I’ve cried
Clouds will open up For you love
I’m coming down
VERSE 2
I’m with you
Sacrifice decaying breath
For what might be a lasting test Your life’s worth it all
PRE 2
Showed me you were hurting Slipped through a crowd Said you were a burden
Are you happy now ?
CHORUS 2
Though I’m sure
You know that your adored Why’d you go do that for ? What were you hoping for ? Called you friend Wondering till the end
Were you hiding then ?
I’ve cried
Though I’m sure
You know that your adored Why’d you go do that for ? What were you hoping for ? Called you friend Wondering till the end
Were you hiding then ?
I’ve cried
Clouds will open up
For you love
I’m coming down

The Song Of Life

the nights we spend alone

this is a piece for my series on Virtues, but tempered by the theme of my song "Wings of Faith" which is about how Righteousness is the thing that drives good men to do evil.  it starts with the first half of "Wings of Faith", then explores the question of why it goes wrong. 


[Intro]
In shadows cast by sacred walls
Where light and dark both stand tall

[Verse]
Preachers call the faithful near
Words of love mix with fear
[Verse]
Guided by a faith -- searching for the higher ground
Good intent on the way -- shifting like a passing cloud
[Chorus]
With belief, we lose and find
Right or wrong, in hearts confined
[Verse]
The weight of words and holy vows
Sometimes they blur the lines somehow

[Bridge]
Good intentions pave the way
Yet shadows lurk where light should stay

[Chorus]
With belief, we lose and find
Right or wrong, in hearts confined
For good to do evil things
It's the faith that gives them wings

[Verse]
We measure right in shifting shades
Each path we choose, a game we’ve played
Mistakes are made in earnest peace
Bound by belief, without release
[Pre-Chorus]
Maps of virtue, lines of fate
Yet our visions drift and skate
[Chorus]
With belief, we rise and fall
Build our temples, then watch them fall

[Verse]
Lost in faith, a double-edged sword
Hopes and doubts, spinning chords
In the name of love, battles are waged
Lines that shift, in the sands they're staged

[Bridge]
In pursuit of what we deem is right
We draw lines that spark a futile fight
Bound by visions that sometimes blind
In seeking truth, we leave scars behind
[Verse]
Every heart holds a compass grand
Though they lead to different lands
For every light, there's a shadow cast
Intentions pure, yet they may not last
[Outro]
In this dance of righteous flight
We lose sight of wrong and right
