The Forest, The Wild Flower, The White Butterflies, The Sea.

Preta


When the hearses left
I grasped at life
Thought the poison 
Had passed with you

Crossed the ocean
Chased the sun that had set
Fell exhausted
In her arms

Drank her lightness
Fled a year of loss
But the Hungry Ghost
Follows me

Exploded cities
Tainted farmland
My pioneer
Family dream

	The yearning knows
	It can’t be fed
	We turn the food
	To fire and ash

Preta

The pattern

Sell them an illusion
Weave in gilded magic words
Blind with whirlwinds of emotion
Drunk on vapours from the haze

Say you’re never going to leave me
Say you’ll love me like I can’t
Cold castles, no foundations
Lonelier than the start

Then try to hold them ransom
The veil falls to the ground
The air gets thinner every second
A choking shallow sound

You say you cannot live for me
Flinch from my outstretched hand
It all evaporates so quickly
Wasn’t love to start

The Pattern

Imperfect song dedicated to Mick, Eileen, Chris, Simon and Manu xxx

Lyric

Mountain lab in Colorado


Your dark lightning struck
It dances at dusk
And all that remains 
Are the sparks left in us
The weight of the days
The absence we touch
The charge can be felt
It crackles then fades
The speeches died out
We left you behind
When the doors closed
Did the room swallow you?
Blooms drifting in air
Gentle pink rain
Impermanent life
One day we'll follow
       
You’re the electrical storm that's inside me
A luminous trail in the snow left behind
You are the mountain lab in Colorado
Like Nikola Tesla you lit up the world
