Cast To The Four Winds

On swaying seas you were too much for me,
These salty eyes can’t wash away this time,
When we anchored down in a one horse town,
I laid the seeds; you’re far too good for me,
Now you’re trying far too hard to define,
I guess it never crossed your mind;
A noble goodbye
On rolling hills I swear I found the will,
To up and leave; can’t walk away from me,
When I lost the plot, When I took that shot,
I wrote the deal in stone, You’re better off alone,
Now you’re trying far too hard to define,
I guess it never crossed your mind;
A noble goodbye
Cast to the four winds,
My body is shaking,
And I’m sorry I lied
A powder keg, you said I lost my edge,
Despite gravity you pulled away from me,
But every time forever dies,
I Choke on every bite
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Cast to the four winds,
My body is shaking,
And I’m sorry I lied

Gritted Teeth

Make your peace before the piece they took, Will be the last you ever have to give,
And holy shit don’t keep your defeats,Filter them with ethics as your sieve,
Think global, Act local, And time will put the cards inside your hands,
Think global, act local, And tides will turn, the betterment of man (will be your cause)
Name your price before it costs you life, A compromise is better than a grave,
Made of regrets and promises, You never kept, but at least you saved (a pretty penny)
All those prayers for peace and gritted teeth won’t stop a war,
I asked “some day my love, will we ever be forgiven?"
She said “let it go"
Drop those bombs before they drop that smile, Another war they don’t know how to end,
History books, will look favourably, They can Murder all they want, they got the win,
70,000 is the new 45, Enemies and orphans watch them bow,
At a memorial, for genocide, How many dead kids will be too many now (it should be one)
All those prayers for peace and gritted teeth won’t stop a war,
I asked “some day my love, will we ever be forgiven?"
She said “let it go"

The devil right by my side,
I found the truth in the back of a lie,
That girl, well she stole my eyes,
And left me tangled under turbulent skies,
I found a way to define,
That little voice in the back of my mind,
That tells me not to survive,
This world’s not big enough, not big enough to hide that -
I’m not clean
Don’t waste your trinity on me,
Cos I’ve not been
Here for many moons, you see
Can’t bring myself to salute,
My greatest failure in the cold light so cruel,
I’ll hold my breath til I’m blue,
See who comes running when I scream out for clues,
And abandoning you,
Was the worst thing I could ever do,
But I'm still running through,
This world’s not big enough, not big enough for the truth that -
I’m not clean
Don’t waste your trinity on me,
Cos I’ve not been
Here for many moons, you see
I just keep counting the dots,
That the lights left behind,
While I try to sleep and wish for release

Anywhere But Here

You can hear a pin drop
Between the sounds of
Distant planes and barking dogs
That air still tastes much better
Especially in the summer,
For a few days at least,
I forgot we spoke
Of dreams we used to have
Regrets that we could bury
Those futures now have turned to dust
With the pressure to give in
To fade into the crowd
And create clones,
Anywhere but here Anywhere but here
It’s what you said,
Anywhere but here Anywhere but here
Fingers round your throat
You could see a star fall
Between the lights of
This seaside grave and my home town
The air still tastes much better
Especially in the summer
For a few days at least
I forgot we spoke
Of how the world is fucked
That we can't make a difference
From a shithole in the sticks
Those feelings that we harboured,
Never made us feel better.
Or that we might just conquer the world
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
It’s what you said,
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
Fingers round your throat
