94 Dreaming..

The frame ain’t the same no more is it
I painted this picture and let the words reflect my image
sometimes the truth hurts
like the first line of this verse
I expected too much
thinking there were just like me
i’ve got to start being selfish
helping others left me helpless
where the river
meets the stream
till the sky falls to its knees
& I could sit here for hours 
this perspective 
trespassing thoughts 
behind locked doors
that belong to thrown away keys
you see
needing me or need me not
dictates your smile
falling  into lines like I ain’t heard from you in a while 
I’ll be whoever you want 
providing you put your mind to it
tryna buy my freedom
should it afford my pride 
I wish I could believe you 
but I can’t 
there's too much on my plate
pour me another glass
drowning in these sorrows 
till I found peace with my past
drawn into a world where the flower is defined by the vase   


& that’s young me by the window sill, 
with questions that view can’t answer
guess it’s too, early to say
if what w’eve made are mistakes
You just wanna, lose your mind
to find your soul
I just need to see the world before I call this home 

 
I used to run riot when I was young
confused, tryna distinguish where someone like me belongs
when did i become the man
the cool kid I was never that


when they’ve learnt to love you for all but yourself 
you’re deluded wealth undermines your coming so far 
shattered glass
family portrait suddenly find the present
as we pick the past up
and recall it as heaven
it’s never seemed so insignificant
everything you worked for
too precious to enjoy 
ourselves we avoid 
these thoughts we employ
too much noise 
we just listen for the silence
the sits between the sirens
 
X


& I just found a place that no-one else knows
watch the sky reach till it lets go
I’ve never been afraid to close my eyes before
they’ll paint you how they want to in the end

I knew that you’d show
been caught up where you found me before 
wanna go
somewhere only we would know




You I said thought I told you to stop dreaming
but your reality never gave me the reason
to stop believing 
I chose the darkest path
to emancipate my own feelings 
clouding the vision 
distorting the meaning 
I mean its
clearer now than ever
growing up under pressure 
nothings ever promised 
a slave for the word better …
If you see me you don’t know me 
stop pretending 
you never attended 
not to mention 
I was left to put to bed all of my questions 
but i’ll sleep on it
dream bigger 
new frame of mind
the bigger picture
fingers travel scriptures
till we capsize
I’ma keep running
we sinning
pushed back to the beginning
..the past speaking to me like a family 20 minute visit 

dreamt of this line last night
stood at some height 
over the city, prepared to leave all these memories
behind
compromised by my 
desire to make it all on my own
you’ll begin to sink in when you’re stone..
……….
We we need  a comparative perspective to be free
happy despite all that you haven’t seen
scared to look for answers
coz you know what they might be 
94 Dreaming
still looking for a mirror that I believe in



& I just found a place that no-one else knows
watch the sky reach till it lets go
I’ve never been afraid to close my eyes before
they’ll paint you how they want to in the end

I knew that you’d show
I’ve been caught up where you found me before 
wanna go
somewhere only we could know


when they’ve learnt to love you for all but yourself 
you’re deluded wealth undermines your coming so far 
shattered, glass
family portraits suddenly find the present
as we pick the past up
and recall it as heaven
it’s never seemed so insignificant
everything you worked for
too precious to enjoy 
ourselves we avoid 
these thoughts we employ
too much noise 
we just listen for the silence
the sits between the sirens

i used to be a hurricane
tell you how that really feel
show you all that i destroyed
i grew up around the fucking way
i know you ain’t really real
i can feel that when you smile
i don’t care where you’re from 
but what you see when you close your eyes 
strangers used to be your friends
they might still be if you didn’t care
oh, i been here before
had to check myself to make sure

the feeling still pain
my people in a hurry
my people tryna grab at the change
stopped looking both ways
when I saw one side is a mirror
and this world is a stage 
fuck you and your games
are you not entertained 
this was never what i pictured
i’m alone in the frame 
putting people first who couldn’t say my last name
letting people hurt, tryna test my faith like Abe
run gon
tell my brothers run on…
that fight was for me 
i’ma keep moving in my sleep till i wake from this dream…
and reflect what I see

Is she worse for lying
or me for believing
lost genesis, Lord i lost my freedom
grew up in conflict
looking for appeasement
used to draw the light and sell it to the evening 
these days we choose to judge by the preview 
sometimes getting too close
they don’t see you
shame on him for forgetting what we’ve been through…..
shame on me for thinking i need you
find me in the shadows of the city..
sunset falls behind the skyline
carry the words you said to me
incase I’m in need of a lifeline

walk to the end of that thought and press the glass
beyond this life
and over mars
behind the canvas 
that holds the stars
the pale blue dot
that’ll hold your heart
behind the pretty faces
behind the egos 
behind the paper 
and the makeshift
finally find yourself 
and can’t face it
so frustrating
lost conversations
afraid to be wrong 
thats why i never grew
that’s why this for me 
even if i say you 
that’s why this for me even if i say her
that’s why this for me even if i say him
i don’t know why
sometimes i look for your face in the sky 
more time i push them away
i write cos i never used to know how to say it

Chrous 

it’s just how I feel right now
I don’t really know much else
people come and people go
but i need you here i swear


Leaning 
told you that I love you, didn’t mean it 
everybody here wants the feeling 
let it fill the room to the ceiling
no one’s really being, keeping up an appearance 
let down my dearest 
shame it’s what I needed 
took her to the eiffel, tryna change her view
you gave her the city but she looking at you
I’m still tryna know myself
know my path
coz when you lead the way
that journeys dark
I had to shed some light on my past
I had to change the clocks before 
my first alarm , I told them

The last supper
take time, it’s been a cold summer
oh they wanna talk about karma 
how could I wish pain another
this films a thriller
sinners
act as the pillars
looking for my view
brother u aint supposed to miss the end
all the the things that I wrote I writ in pen
you can visit them again and again
so busy talking about me
you abandoned yourself 
it’s just funny that you’d ask me for help
it’s just another story left on the shelf
we so, insecure
look for more 
life’s too short
to step into your 44’s
I mean we’re young
no idea what we’ve got in store
both afraid to write first
till we fade to thoughts

To the end of that thought and press the glass,,,,,
beyond this life
and over mars
behind the canvas 
that holds the stars
the pale blue dot
that’ll hold your heart
behind the pretty faces
behind the egos 
behind the paper 
and the makeshift
finally find yourself 
and can’t face it
so frustrating
lost conversations
afraid to be wrong 
thats why i never grew
that’s why this for me 
even if i say you 
that’s why this for me even if i say her
that’s why this for me even if i say him
i don’t know why
sometimes i look for your face in the sky 
more time i push them away
i write cos i never used to know how to say it

Man Of The House - Tack 10


Through the Eyes of a Hurricane

lights dim
somewhere in the east of the city
these thoughts swim between 
reality and a dream
I just wanna be alone for a minute 
just thinking about how I aint been home for a minute 
thinking like oh my God, this life
she wants more of mine
uh, I guess you weren’t ready for me 
I heard most of my past have gone quiet on me
see drinks with you, became drinks over you
but I think I’m going sober man that shits over due 
Truth is, 
all my brothers with me are some of the realist
fearless clearest minded souls ever untold
You must have been mistaken
Don’t get it fucked up
can’t afford to get It fucked up right now
black and white lenses distort the perspective 
promised my mum I’d be back before the end of this sentence


Chorus

And we’re alright with the darker side
It’s inevitable, waiting for a dream.


I tell my story
how dare you tell it for me
I walked into your world, you watched me leave through the other side
She was wishing for more, Channel & Dior
While I was washing my sins in some Don pernione 
this vertigo got my back against the views
that I grew in a darkroom 
I told you I’d be back before the sunsets
breaking bread with my flat mates
I’m grounded now I’m over that
yeah, and now she wants me back
I guess that’s only right
she only wants a home at the highest heights 
3 and a half thousand miles of perspective 
but still couldn’t outrun the stars grip of the pencil
I can help you to overcome all your fears
let them water fall like your tears
overcome your nightmares for a dream
they say there’s no life in the comfort zone
and no life where the camera goes
so where were you when I was coming up
I took my time and in time I trust
if beauty is pain, art is risk, what does that make love
treading a fine line on my way to God
the path feels straight vertical
follow the skyscrapers to the place that we’ve been dreaming of
I promise I won’t let you fall this time
finally satisfied with everything I’ve left behind

Chorus

And we’re alright with the darker side
It’s inevitable, waiting for a dream

Will you be there when I can see




Extra Notes 

I’ve been rethinking Paris
everything that happened
I feel apprehensive
too reach out
and send my blessings
forget about mishaps
life’s too short
to back track
looked in your eyes
a hand shake 
over prides back I’ve been working hard
in and out of uni 
life’s a movie
i just keep it under wraps
and let the music speak for me

This is a part of me
i never started I’ll l never finish 
probably die
half way through a lyric




We’re all good till our dreams outgrow our friendship
you didn’t share my vision
its fruition blew your mind 
things change over time 
i learnt to embrace that 
i can’t persuade you to be the friend that you were way back 
your mother had my photo on her fridge
all the years we’ve missed
i just text you what’s been good
tryna build a bridge 
but you aint tryna cross 
already crossed me off




when they love you for the cold days
i’m still here like always
so caught up in the life style 
reminiscing on the old days 

we got it like that
we


do you love me do you trust me,
told me you don’t really know home
said it aint the same if I aint there
my room

for good

Verse 1

You spoke of how you believed in god but didn’t believe in religion
you saw heaven  in your sons eyes, 
as you closed yours 
I’ve learnt that nothing is mine 
now I’ve soaked up every shore
never felt more alive
my expectations drowned in the tide, 
The dark days aren’t over, 
while you’re looking for closure 
they’re still looking for you
but the darkness might pass over 
if you’re quiet enough;
as it does every night 
as you’re still and watching the world from the outside
I’ve been walking alone for a while
thinking about us
I’ve gone far and afraid to call out 
in case I don’t hear your response 
10 days adrift, wrote a night of clarity
for me, 
feeling invisible as the wind, whispered to the sea,
I See words in your pictures, you see pictures in my words
every perfect moment requires a slight uncertainty  
like my faith 
no person should be alone long enough
to feel the mirror change...
I thought I left my heart back there with you, 
but here it is following me
and I’m ashamed to say it...
as you watched a small city unfold
so behind its ability to think forward, re-opened your mind 
to See God in perfect timing 
your blessing

Chorus

I’ll lose (need) you for the life I’m chasing
I didn’t come back the same
I know it, you know it too
it’s falling so heavy on you lately
head on my chest but you’ve never felt more alone


It takes time to wake up on the right side
oh it’s just a habit i’m breaking for good
It’s just another life fazing - good


Verse 2

I never felt this pressure
like my wings were spreading
I feel no way, feel no way , that’s the devil singing
take your time with me, like it means something
and we can talk for for hours and let time listen

you’re talking about life like you’ve lived forever
she looked into his eyes, until he dreamed about her 
running from something
and mask it as wisdom
but i’ll listen coz i see the truth and in truth..

(Bridge)

it feels nice when you let go
it feels wrong, it feels right
you know some things 
you know some things 

it feels nice when you let go
it feels wrong, it feels right
you know some things 
you know some things 


(Chorus)

I’ll lose (need) you for the life I’m chasing
I didn’t come back the same
I know it, you know it too
it’s falling so heavy on you lately
head on your chest but you’ve never felt more alone


It takes time, to wake up on the right side
oh it’s just a habit i’m breaking for good
It’s just another life fazing - good

for good

ATO - 2005 (heartache 2018)

Dialogue: 

and you could lose yourself in this world, easy

I don’t want to regret that
we never had a name for anxiety then, you said,
 whatever it was made me, me..
and on our bikes we used to take the shortcut through the graveyard
now i see your father stood talking to you there for hours
and i haven’t asked him how he’s doing
I haven’t visited
coz i don’t know what to say, honestly

Verse 1

writing on a Monday morning 
this week feels like a mountain
while i’m still trying to decide if its best to hide behind my eyelids
and its cold,
when you’re gone you’re cold
his weakness gives you strength
not always for good
drifting into hell
you think i can’t see
it’s over
like my boy from the corner
like mummies corolla
like those nights in paris
rip them off these four walls like posters
wonder if life is about staying true
while watching the sky change on you 
spread your wings or lose your inhibitions for a moment or two 

I’m floating
if we make it through this
we’ll make it through anything
I spent too many night here, twisting and turning
in the corner of a corner
and when the truth capsizes 
will you blame the tide or the timing 
she loves you regardless,
you feel alone in the darkness
in the frame
and if the way forwards is backwards
back down those country lanes
back staring through that window pane
while the sun sets on all we made
the bigger picture’s what we ran through and chose to leave behind
frustrating how the truth was the intention behind our divide





Chorus

Coz she’s got lots of love
and she’s staring at you in the dark
she got lots of words that’ve been tearing you apart

welcome to the end of the place you call home
made hell for the highs, to try and fall through a moment

your faithful eyes,
I just want to trust like you do 
maybe I could stay there with you
The world looks so unkind from up here though
Hero


Verse 2

These hands are trembling
that word was heaven sent
I smashed this mirror
in one moment i reached for everything i’d ever felt
these conversations
where we prioritise listening
until our words are genuine and relevant
still caught between two worlds that raised me and framed my ambivalence
i still need that first line of space
repeated by a stranger 
I can’t confide in those too close who treat help as if it were a favour 
he’s outgrowing expectations and familiar faces
witnessed you throw him to the waves just to try save him while he was drowning


I’m floating
if we make it through this
we’ll make it through anything
I spent too many night here twisting and turning
in the corner of a corner
and when the truth capsizes 
will you blame the tide or the timing 
you love her, regardless
you feel alone in the darkness
in the frame
and if the way forwards is backwards
back down those country lanes
back staring through that window pane
while the sun sets on all we made
the bigger picture’s what we ran through and chose to leave behind
frustrating how the truth was the intention was behind our divide



Bridge 

I fall through,
it feels like you,
everything,
you

feel



Chorus

Coz she’s got lots of love
and she’s staring at you in the dark
she got lots of words that’ve been tearing you apart

welcome to the end of the place you call home
made hell for the highs, to try and fall through a moment

your faithful eyes,
I just want to trust like you do 
maybe I could stay there with you
The world looks so unkind from up here though
Hero

Verse 1

Breathe deep it aint what you want 
Next episode goes lights out
Gonna see these stars appear
Coming up 
Walking back, I know it’s not burning
My lungs collapsing 
So what I got to fear 

Now it’s done



Hook

The surface I can see the surface from here 
24 and checking off

What the fuck I need a minute for
My brothers back tonight though
Right right right yeah


I was waiting for you right here





Verse 2

Yo, uh 

Under this weight that you feel 
A shadow of guilt until 
You’re ready to
(As the sun sets over us all)
Swallow this pill 
I take too many and feel
Like, 
It’s 
nothing 

I’m drowning in this water, supposed to make it fall easy
Keep going 
And you’ll see me 
Through the crowds
an island
We’re all falling for something
You could, could have been mine
Still looking for the past in the … full of… 


Say they’ve lived their best days 
Must be too afraid
I put a flower in this vase
Hope it rains today

Looking at me like I’m nothing
Till that second keeps falling
My footsteps echo
Into your memory



Hook

The surface I can see the surface from here 
24, and checking off
What the fuck I need a minute for
My brothers back tonight though 
Right, right, right yeah


I was waiting for you right here





Verse 3

I put this all in the open
Stand where you want to
I pay for the ceremony
I payed for that smile too
They’re gonna like me
you know you’re letting go now
You’re gonna love me
You know I gotta go know
Tell him the truth
If he don’t remember…

I found my voice in this echo chamber
Fuck your help 
I don’t want no favours
Not now, we’ll talk about it later 
Claustrophobic zooming out, major
They aint seen it like this, when the lights fade in
Bad news coming in, I couldn’t take no time
My two worlds collide, the silence to sirens
Sirens to silence
You in my city but it’s just bad timing
There’s a party tomorrow and you just might find it
Text me in the morning say it just feels different
Too busy, I missed it
But we good right (Good right)
Promised I’ll be thinking ‘bout you all night
Change flight stay or go
Go or stay 
This shit doesn’t have no name
So if I see you in the morning we won’t know what to say



Hook

The surface I can see the surface from here 
24, and checking off
What the fuck I need a minute for
My brothers back tonight though 
Right, right, right yeah


I was waiting for you right here







Outro

If I let reality set in now
I might have to drown in everything they offer me and Iii
I’m running late Can you pick me up….

(Pick me up) deep slowed down voice
