This is a live performance at the Warwick Art's Center 2013, dressed as Integra Hellsing from the anime Hellsing, was great fun! Despite technical issues that meant my AMV messed up a bit, you can hear the crowd react to windows coming up on the screen behind me while they fixed it lol!

Live performance Nightwish Slow Love Slow cover (As Integra Hellsing) Amecon 2013

Same Sky

A song I wrote about really enjoying rainy days

LyricsSome people like the sun
Worshiping that endless god
Stretched out in the warmth
But I burn if I stay too long
But I love this sort of rain
Where it’s warm and umbrellas don’t blow away
The kind of rain that makes you happy to be inside 
Reading a book, just happy to be alive 

You say it can’t rain all the time 
But baby I don’t mind 
Sometimes I’m happy it does 

I love the sound through my open window
Comforting, saying there is nothing better to do
Sitting here just missing you
Wishing it was true
But I love this sort of pain
Where your heart aches anyway
The kind of pain that makes you melancholy inside
Crying tears that make you feel alive 


This Kind Of Rain

Wrote this song after trying to get home after a 12.5 hour shift. Got absolutely soaked to the skin in torrential rain, was freezing cold, my second train was cancelled, missed a bus and then got drenched by a lorry on my bike. Ended up just laughing hysterically ploughing through massive puddles and just not caring about it any more, as I couldn't actually get any more wet, tired and miserable which was actually quite fun. So I wrote this about that feeling.

Lyrics:
I'm travelling light
Staying the night 
You'll have to take me as I am
A woman without a plan
Take all the things you think I'm meant to be
Take all the thing I you think I seem 
And let them go
Don’t let it show

I can't slow down 
can’t let my roots grow in the ground
I hit the water and I’m laughing
Can’t get any closer to drowning
I’m going down
But I don’t care this time around

I'm looking for something that can't be found
And I watch as my life is falling down
The missing pieces, my emptiness 
The hole right in the middle of my chest
I'm listening and I'm reading and I’m writing this
I'm drowning in the gloriousness of this mess that I’m in

Travelling Light

A little track kinda inspired by one of my favourite films :D

A little word to the wise
There’s no sense in the lies
Sink myself deeper 
Lost in your eyes 
I got nothing to hide
Or apologise for
The same always 
Path through a maze

Grant me clarity 
To see 
Find the centre to me
I’ll set you free 

There is no use in complaining
I’ll do all the explaining 
You have the power you see
All the power you need
This changes nothing 
This changes everything 
This measure of time 
We crossed every line 

And every turn 
Is the wrong one
And the direction changes 
Behind you 
And if you find the way 
I will lose you 
I am intoxicatingly 
bad for you

Labyrinth

This song is about perception and not being able to change who you are.

What am I, what am I fighting for 
Can you see, see me to the door
Do you want me, do you really?
Even if this is going to end badly
                                          
Is this light only a reflection of a burn to be 
Inflicted unsuspectingly
For every pleasure there is a pain
For every pain a cost you see

We don’t see things how they are 
We see things how we are

If you are a hammer
then everything is a nail
If you are a nail
expect to get hit
and don't complain

If you are a butterfly and meet a hammer
you will be
lucky
wise
or 
dead
