LYRICS:

You’re far away
and I can’t seem to find the time
to come and play
But I don’t mind just calling
from the edge

You turned away
from everything you paid for
at cost
And all the castaways
you spend your time with now
are just as lost

You’re far away and I can’t seem to find you

And now you’re searching for your missing memory through the mirrored glass
And all you find in just your mind in shattered pieces in the grass

You’re far away
and I can’t seem to find you

Did you ever think you were a splash of paint
dripped from the brush of a creator
while he’s stood
making something else?
And you splashed into existence
Completely unannounced

You’re far away
and I can’t seem to find you

Far Away [2022 Rework]

A Way To Scream

Devotions lonesome, I’ve drowned in cold dark oceans,
I tried to fight the waves, but the shorelines disappeared and abandoned me,
I’m floating in the moonlight avoiding all the searchlights,
I’m waiting for tides to rise while a storm surge damn near tried to murder me.

I’ve been searching for a way to scream,
I don’t care about getting paid,
I fell for spells that the media made,
Been pissing my life away,
My self did hide while my ego played,
Destructive and selfish games,
Now I’m just tired of feeling expired.

Golden handshakes don’t lead to diamond landscapes,
The coal must change itself, It needs to feel the weight surrounding it,
That pressure turns to earthquakes, tsunamis rise, the ground shakes, 
And oceans turn to steam, while I find my way to scream.

Been journeying over the years it seems, 
I lost track of the fucking days, 
I fell for spells that the media made,
Been pissing my life away,
I lived with thieves and the games they play,
I burned a thousand days,
No wonder I’m tired of feeling expired.

I need a way to scream.

A Way To Scream - Demo

Dirty old town,
it's hard on your feet as you wander around in the night.
Don't get down,  
but no one is out there, just looking for you, that's all right. 
You might be pretty. 
But that shit won't help here you know.
You've gotta go.
Inside we're all ugly,
and a few years of drinking will show. 
To those in the know. 

As the plastic bag catches the breeze from the seaside.
Some men just seem to do alright. 
The drunks on the sofas are nursing a pint, until they settle down for the night. 
You're still running.
But there's no one to catch you you know.
You just fall.
It keeps on coming.
One day you'll be running it all. 
Just take the call. 

Oh the foam from the seas, and the salt on the breeze gives away.
Dead end town. (x2) 

All your money, 
won't fill up the holes in your soul though you wrapped them up tight.
You're still drinking, 
but that's better than some who were caught by the brown bang to rights.
Still out hunting,
fact he's dressed up and ready to go. 
Where's the show?
Summer loving,
the winters are much harder though.
Where's the snow? 

As the fog from the sea rolls up through the dead streets and just blocks out the midsummer Sun,
and a girl from your school walks past looking about 50 with her little oik of a son. 
She's still pretty,
but there's something that's empty inside,
behind her eyes.
There's always pity,
It's the last thing remaining that glows.
To those in the know.

Summertime

Well I’m a Big Bad Man from Rockingham
Gonna set this town on Fire
I got a hell of a thirst, I just gotta be first
I am burning with Desire
But regular Joe who wants the world to know
That he’s the main attraction
So I track him down to a bar down town
Now I’m ready for some action
And we had one hell of a fight 
yeah I was shaking all through the night
But I soon put out his lights
Tonight, when I saw her
Watching me, in the corner
By the window, under a red light
But when I met her first, She said I’ll quench that thirst
you gotta learn some manners  
Oh well she teased and squeezed, till I’m begging please
I got a face like a bag of spanners
She said I’ll ease that pain if you play my game
I’ll show you some affection
After 3 or 4 days, I’m in a hell of a haze
I can’t believe my own reflection
But she gave me a hell of a fright
Yeah I was shaking all through the night
But she soon turned down my lights
That night, when I saw her
Watching me, in the corner
By the window, under a red light
I must confess that I’m in a mess
you got me waiting in distress
She got a key and she’s watching me
She got my measure by degrees
So sweet and clean, Know what I mean
I’m just another James Dean
I’m laying low, I curse and Moan
You gotta give the Dog a bone!
Now in the pale moon light, under a blue porch light
She’s got a head upon my shoulder
She said you ain’t no use unless you pay those dues
But I guess we’re getting older
But she gave me a hell of a fright
Yeah I was shaking all through the night
But she soon turned down my lights
That night, when I saw her
Watching me, in the corner
By the window, under a red light etc

You know I tried to say how much these things've changed.
How much they've changed...

What a storm we've created here, love - 
What glamor does shimmer from a lie that's been cut.
Lick and you'll stick and unkempt your tongue, now.
Time heals all wounds while the high's leaving you numb

Violet, violet...
I won't let it...won't let it...go.

Streaming, flowing - high in the light.
Abandoned, freezing - colors of spite.
And so you will run - are your feet going numb?
Waiting for one to come.
What apathy spills from your tongue.
Preventing love to occur, and I know that you hurt.

Red and blue, dreams of you.
Violet at the turn of it, abandoning you.

Red and blue, dreams of you.
Violet at the turn of it, abandoning you.

They're coming back, it's coming back, they're coming back.
Vibrant shades will fade to grey. They're coming back.
Loose lipped words make terrible homes - less these lights you're all alone.

Streaming, flowing - high in the light.
Abandoned, freezing - colors of spite.
And where do you turn - does your throat start to burn?
Waiting for one to come.
What apathy spills from your tongue.
Prevent love to occur - you're in love with the blur.

Are your feet going numb?

Hello, Earth.
Addiction is a terrible thing. The modes all vary, but in some sense - they're all the same. 
Something captures someone, pulls them in, and makes them numb to everything but the high - and even that is fleeting. 
The relationships built in that environment are not built on solid foundations, they'll leave you all alone. 
I hope those that need help seek help. Help is not given for those that are afflicted, it's sought by the afflicted. 

Hope you enjoy this song and its message. 
All the best -
EP
