Kylie (Demo)

I wanted to be somebody 
For once I’d know
Power, responsibility
The choices I’d have to make
Corruption, a firm handshake

Through seasons you toyed with me
Loving, but out of reach
Silence, they made my bed
Focus on what’s ahead
It’s only ‘cause they forced me
They pushed me
And then they drove me
To the edge

They know I know what I’ve done

43 - Steady Hands

She watches the waves tumble over the shells
Little sinkholes pull down grains of glass
Light footed creatures abundant to her delight
Forgotten feeling, the clouds are darkening

Give me your hand for I may be a ghost
And I cannot stand to bear what I need most

Fields are growing aplenty but who will feed this ravenous herd
Hunger in animals
Appetite is beastly

He watches the stars hover beneath the sky
Tarpaulin on string a respite from him
Solitude welcome though not alone
An ashen remnant, a call for the earth

Keys in the car and I am ready to leave
For this I shed from head to toe I drop it all behind
I will stay until I am no longer needed
Hatred in people
Suffering is endless

44 - Appetite Is Beastly

I died last week 
Left my body in a heap 
In the forest too deep 
Couldn’t find a place to sleep

Days feel like seconds
And light feels so precious
It’s enough to be part of
It’s enough for me true love

Don’t close my eyes
Let me see the stars come out
The birds will feed well
Once I know that I will end

Beautiful life don’t last
Dreams are made of silver ferns
Open wide
Come out

45 - Feather

I'm gonna get a face tattoo 
I'd sooner die than get a desk job
Gonna eat a ton of trash too
'fore I become a heart throb
Gonna send my boss a dick pic
So I don’t get employee of the month
Gonna act like a lunatic
So they’ll sell me a machine-gun 

Don’t tell me it’s forbidden
I need to find my people
Fuck the man I’ll be violent
And you can try to stop me
Rub your ointment on your wounds
But I’ll just keep on coming
You say that it’s devastation
But I’ve only just started

My job’s to fan the flames of
The war on living
Hear the sounds in the distance
They’ll be here tomorrow
Grab your arms and we’ll start up
A fight for the ages

It’s a brand new day
Feeling good feeling strong
Kill count going up
I feel invincible
No friends holding me back
Got my own pets downstairs
I’m on the right track
All you got is thoughts and prayers

46 - Self Sabotage

Restlessly waiting for the fifth time that they ensured it would be fine
Anxiously silent always listening but I hope it is different this time
Ride the bus even if you cannot hold your head high
This is me and I will not apologise

I’ll go down kicking and screaming
I’ll go down
I’ll make sure that they can hear me
I’ll make sure

Where do you fit in?
Made of porcelain
Where do you call home?
In the unknown

Weeks into months and the end is not visible I’m burning the fuse

To be considered, inspected, examined
A perfect contest, a carousel, we’re dancing

47 - Perfect Contest

Let the sun shine
Let them start
Open border line
Open heart

Feel it for them
Freedom of a different kind
Give what you can find

Fussing too much
To break the bank 
Safety is such
A source of thanks 

Rest together
Sleeping dogs
Richer weather
For the jobs

Forgive me not 
Forgive us 
Truth will let lie
This we must

48 - Let Lie

Skin off the footpath
You won’t remember
Things go too fast
I know I should’ve asked before we move past

Will you go downtown with me
I see a thousand stories
Of folly and wisdom
I don’t stray from norm
The perfect form can do no wrong

A conversation in hell 
An inner silence won't tell 
We'll reach up anyway 
It's yours to make
And mine to take and I can have it all

49 - The Plan

Don’t call me up at nine o clock no
You know I have a life of my own
I swallowed it inside
You know I get tongue tied
Forget I can’t
Try as I might I’m losing it

You rattle off a thousand words on
A coffee order nobody wants
You’re wasting your own time
Not even mentioning mine
Sighing as I
Get out of line I’m losing it

Why have you got so much darkness in you?
Stuck with your left foot in the right shoe 
When your past shines a light on tomorrow
Strike out on your own but still you follow

You’ve overstayed your welcome
Smell of sweat all round
You know I hate the sound
Pulsing all night
Close my eyes I’m losing it

50 - Losing It

I nurture you like a baby
Hard shell from the outside world
And all you do lately
Is stoke the flames of the disturbed

I take you out just to put you back
I know not how to fill time
You’re taking me off track
Oh girl, I was doing just fine

Nobody calls me anymore
No one real anyway
They’re all spam calls to ignore
Just leave me alone hey hey?

I use you like you use me too
First thing in the morning
Read the news gotta push through
Another day is forming

You get me through another party
Cold glow lighting up my face
I know they say that it’s not healthy
But what would I put in your place?
