it happens
when you're dreaming when you're not looking to be told it's never
left you it happens in the winter time warmth turns to cold and
blisters the healing power of time nothing will recover what's been
done no it happens when you dig too deep when you look inside and
find the cry that burns to escape its crime it happens when you
try to sleep spectres crowd your mind and eyes and voices fill your
head so you can't sleep nothing can recover what's been done no
'Departure'
the walls come
falling in the game is up the cloud has burst no laughter no-one
speaks the last few days have done their worst I can't unfeel the
way I feel the words I spoke who'd have thought that last week's
news was this week's running joke your sobbing exhortations echoing
my thoughts aloud we know too well that every silver lining has
a cloud we squander certainty and end it all in doubt the empty
platitudes will fall from my mouth this is how it ends but I could
never leave you how would I forget your face a whisper oscillating
in and out of empty space never mind the memories the souvenirs
will last the photos never fade the pain will always pass this is
how it ends sympathy denied heaven knows we tried what did we achieve
it's time to leave innocence and you I never wanted to to I'm your
only friend this is how it ends 'Exeunt'
from the moment when you smiled I could be persuaded as the curtain lifted and the laughter faded that I was not alone but the hall is empty for the final solo my soliloquey resounds like an empty echo I wanted to scream to shout aloud but there were no faces in the crowd cross out the words rip out the page as the actors leave the stage Aidan 'Fading Fast'
the sky cries
bitter rain it streaks the windows grey I've nothing more to say
about the past I don't accept my calls don't speak to anyone at
all too much pride before the fall I'm fading fast my friends won't
see me now cos I've neglected them for you I'm slipping out of view
I'm bereft I go out every night and I try not to drink too much
I won't let myself be touched since you left shine on love shine
on for I am fading fast keep talking keep smiling this will be the
last song I write for you the perfume you adored lies half empty
on the floor I don't use it anymore now you've gone the little jokes
we shared ring hollow round my head another losing game we played
well I guess you won shine on love shine on for I am fading fast
keep talking keep smiling this will be the last song I write for
you 'Forget Myself'
watching from
the corner of my eye too scared to stop too scared to try spent
a half life watching from the side smiling as the walls collapse
inside never knowing what to say I never act this way but tonight
you make me forget myself open eyed a blessing to receive hand upon
your shoulder as you leave I don't know what to say I never act
this way but tonight you make me forget myself 'Lover'
lover we talk
but I donıt see the point conclusions bound to disappoint the finest
lie I tell will always be untrue lover I want her more than I want
you lover Iım empty Iım all lucked out been fucked around been fucked
about you talk in riddles words that make me weep lover I love you
more when you donıt speak lover I love you more than you love me
so tell yourself that thingsıll work out fine whatıs mine is yours
whatıs yours is mine lover I wish youıd go lover I wish youıd stay
lover I wish youıd take it all away lover I love you more than you
love me 'My Lover's
Eyes' I softly stroke
my lover's hair it shimmers in the evening air the candles gutter
as they die we shiver as our bodies dry I read a pattern dried to
black and written on my lover's back and so the afterglow subsides
in my lover's softly closing eyes 'LongshoreDrift'
never asked
your name you were washed ashore what are you here for I don't really
care drank too much tonight cross the empty floor what do you take
me for at least you're there tide recedes again a sea to drown you
in you diverted me but only for a week or two I never really wanted
you I hope its understood unforgettably I was led astray I didnıt
want to feel this way I didn't think I could tide recedes again
a sea to drown you in floating on the tidal shift I see you from
the long shore drift away empty all inside the drunkard gasps everybody
laughs I was so unkind doesn't hurt at all feel the razor slide
slipping warm inside I was left behind tide recedes again a sea
to drown you in floating on the tidal shift I see you from the long
shore drift away 'Return'
I can't explain
this sign to you I want to sit and watch the sunrise over the sea
and if the sea would take me and make me clean then I could return
every word I speak strikes a chord in the wind and it takes flight
and travels back to you some sweet mystery unfolds before my eyes
if only I had the key then I could return to you please let me wake
let me go let me be please please undo this dream while I sleep
then I could return to you 'Rivers End'
friend now
the time of my leaving's come with the rites of departure done as
I slip away here are all the things I could never say tears on my
cheek that you kissed away I'm not crying for yesterday or the day
before I just wish that I could have told you more time is not something
that we can keep slips through our fingers it makes me weep when
I think about all the wasted hours when I shut you out and I ask
as the evening draws in the shade wonder why as the daylight fades
like a passing ghost why we always hurt what we love the most I
I'm too blind to see I'm too much I'm wrapped up in myself and I
I'm too arrogant to admit I'be lost without you and I want to have
it all and some more it's just a fact of my life that I never told
you these things before I never realised you gave me something that
I could touch in a world where I'd had too much something I could
feel with my broken hands full of lost ideals soon I'm returning
to you my friend and we'll go where the rivers end in the silver
sea and I'll carry you if you'll carry me 'Star of
the Sea' jealous nature
ever blind regretting what she gave painted in your drowning eyes
and sunk beneath your wave sent a flight of angels down to claim
you wouldn't leave a life of sighs to shame you from your heart
she rang the blood to paint the evening's fall from your eyes she
took the stars to set on heaven's wall made the earth forget it
ever knew you sealed the fault in heaven that you fell through from
your heart she rang the blood to paint the eveningıs fall from your
eyes she took the stars to set on heaven's wall made the earth forget
it ever knew you sealed the fault in heaven that you fell through
'Staring
at the Sun' I never thought
I'd see the time when it all ends it was enough to be the one held
by your side don't ask me for answers I cannot find don't say that
I love you I cannot lie I cannot say the words I know you want to
hear you cannot bear to hold my eyes swallow your fear don't say
that you want me I know you do don't say that you need me say you
wanted me you were staring at the sun staring at the sea always
waiting for the one please don't ask me to explain where we fell
down I close my eyes and see your face losing its glow you want
me to hold you kiss away your tears lay down and unfold you take
away your fear say you wanted me you were staring at the sun staring
at the sea always waiting for the one you're needing to give me
what I wanted all along I'm sorry its too late can't you see it
just feels wrong the time has come to part the ways we knew so well
I see the pain fall from your eyes for the last time I wish I could
hold you just like before I wish I could love you say you wanted
me you were staring at the sun staring at the sea always waiting
for the one 'Sympathy'
I've never
seen your face round here I never heard your name but I'm certain
that I understand your intentions just the same I've lived inside
your hollow life known the emptiness inside and drank with you the
cheap white wine that you swallow with your pride I know you you
won't go home tonight you don't want to sleep alone tonight we wear
the same old battle scars we wear the same disguise I stand behind
your mirror count the lines around your eyes the veterans of the
good times through the bad times we console a merging of two barren
hearts a sympathy of souls I know you you won't go home tonight
you don't want to sleep alone tonight 'Transcendence'
gather the
storm clouds around the darkness will shelter you open your mouth
and your eyes allow me to drown in you surrender your fear nothing
can touch us in here surrender yourself surrender to me cast off
the scales from your eyes the things you require no more carry the
secret we share inside you for evermore surrender your fear nothing
can touch us in here surrender yourself surrender to me don't speak
no words silent empathy wisdom never heard wisdom like silence no
tears don't cry sorrow never lasts love will never die wisdom like
silence
