Crescent

This pale blue ghost against the sky
Echoed in the ocean, catches my eye
Casts a spell on the world below
See it changing, moving so slow
This crescent, rising
Heart goes into hiding
The waning moon says now time for rest
I know it’s been watching, knows I’ve done my best
The breath of the world catches, for a moment
Inhale deep, keep it going
This crescent, rising
Heart goes into hiding
This crescent, rising
Heart goes into hiding

Fighting Me

I wanna be strong enough, to hold this space for you
Keep my insecurities at bay, and just let the love come through
Cos I don’t wanna be a burden, won’t let you see me cry
In the end, it’s just a battle in my mind
It’s just a battle in my mind
So I’m fighting, but there’s no winner here
If what I want is to be happy, then why so many tears?
My fears, are taking over, afraid to set them free
But in the end, I’m only fighting me
Yeah in the end, I’m only fighting me

World on a Wire

World on a wire, my heart on a string
Waiting to expire, this life locked in
The walls are covered, the rest in the cupboard
Hiding my life away
Portcullis closed, keeping my face composed
Maybe I’ll have the strength someday
Dreams of a new way are falling behind
A palate of grey is my state of mind
White neon signs flash far away
Oh what contrast to the real decay
World on a wire, my heart on a string
Waiting to expire, this life locked in
Down through the rabbit hole, abandoning all control
Is it the real world above?
Trapped between worlds as the truth is discerned
It seems now that I know too much
I’ll just stick my head in the sand
Wait for it to go as planned
Watch as the new path unfolds
Unable, unwilling to let go my hold
World on a wire, my heart on a string
Waiting to expire, this life locked in
I’m running, I’m running, I’m running, I’m running now
But I keep finding the edges, no more hedging my bets
They’re coming, they’re coming, they’re coming, they’re coming now
My presence denying, nowhere left to hide

Driving Blind

Driving blind
I know the road so well
Can’t remember how I got here
Sleepwalking through life
Driving blind
Hands steady at the wheel
Blurred outlines pass around me
The sky is heavy and grey
Driving blind to where I’m supposed to be
Driving blind to where I’m supposed to be
Driving blind to where I’m supposed to be
Driving blind to where I’m supposed to be

As the evening sun casts shadows, all I see is the light
As it dips below the horizon, I feel the urge to write
To somehow capture this feeling, this perfect moment in time
But my being, is suspended, somehow separate from my mind
Somehow separate from my mind
Loops come to a standstill, a closed circuit no more
A calmness washes over me, like waves to a shore
Such a sense of stillness, while the world carries on
The balance, and the beauty, and to this I am drawn
To this I am drawn
Drawn in to this moment, feet firm on the ground
I feel my head clearing, as I look around
Feels like the first time, I have noticed the way
The birds sing, and the breeze blows, it’s here I wish to stay
Here I wish to stay
