Tell Me

Tell it to me once 
Tell it to me twice
What the hell three times
Say it sweet and nice

Tell me that you want me 
You want to share my life 
Tell me that you need me
Please don’t tell me lies

Say that you won’t hurt me and never make me cry
Don’t tear my heart to pieces 
Don’t make me fall and die

Just great me with a smile 
Embrace me with a kiss
Tell me who we are
Seal it with a kiss

Heaven On the Water

trawlers steam out from dutch harbour
patroling the frozen waves
serching for gold under the sea 
to feed my family

in the wheelhouse the stars shine in
skyes dark and air so thin
no mater where this vessel takes me
my heart is yerning out for you

heaven on the water
is where im dreaming of my love
i see your face on the misty spray
as im calling out your name
heaven on the water
it wont be long my love
for a few more days i know you`l guide me 
guide me home to you

icey winds shiver my spine
as we bring out catch abord
empty net and broken dreams 
as the waves come crashing down

storms break loose with a crash of thunder
rolling across the bering sea 
up and down around then under
but still i dream of you

heaven on the water
is where im dreaming of my love
i see your face on the misty spray
as im calling out your name
heaven on the water
it wont be long my love
for a few more days i know you`l guide me 
guide me home to you

i see you face as the boat goes down
sea whispering my name
beconing me to the river
where we first found love

heaven on the water
im still here my love
watching you and our daughters 
from the stars above
heaven on the water 
calling out your name
calling out your name
heaven on the water
calling out your name

Man Climbing Man

War is declared 
the field is set
blood-filled pawns on a chess set
with the flag raised and weapons primed
for our disposable heroes 
their time is nye

the stone cross roads and the moistest fells
warmed from the flames of hell
a piercing stare across the room 
office politics contempt and gloom

man climbing man
the mountain to the alpha male
man climbing man
bullying on a sliding scale

violent words and painful cries
webs of sin and deadly lies
the new boy blues will settle in
who cares what race or fat or thin

don’t go crying to the boss
your tearful eyes cost you your job
portraying weakness and insomnia
bloodshot breath with a sour spike

man climbing man
the mountain to the alpha male
man climbing man
bullying on a sliding scale

Reach For the Sky

Reach for the sky 

Days lived in black and white 
Couldn’t tell if it was day or night
Same *****different day 
All the same to me

The Kyle show on the box
Wearing 7 day old socks
Each drop more fills my insides
So drunk I can’t cry
Such a bitter twisted suicide
 
Said Bonnie and Clyde
You can run, you can hide
Reach for the sky your money or your life 
They didn’t think about the future 
Just a roll of the dice 
Cos tomorrow never comes

You’ll see me in the corner now
Brown paper bag in my grip 
Smell like a brewery look like a piece of shit
But all alone in my corner 
There’s still a flame and it burns

You can run, you can hide 
Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde 
Reach for the sky you can still save your life 
Make each day about the future
Just forget about the past 

Reach for the sky and see tomorrow come

Crystal Rose

As the full moon glows over a crystal rose underneath my window
a crispy haze of solitude surounds
But as the moonlight glares and shadows dispare in a cloud of darkness
you hand joins mine as our hearts combine
and our pasion comes to life

Memory

Memory 


so its time to learn about myself
cos every day im getting worse 
looks like its time to take a fall
but life gets better after all 

feel like ive lived enough to know 
how things creep up and take you slow
find solace inside ones own walls
does life get better after all ?

say farewell to the life we had 
but now your gone i dont feel so sad
the pain that you used to endure 
has ceased but i have hit the floor

your memory will forever be
in thoses you loved and indeed me 
you held me up in times of need
stayed with me when others fled

last call now we lay you down to rest 
dear friend we now say goodbye
untill we all meet again 
this story will never have an end

ill raise a glass and fake a smile
then turn my smile into a sigh
but i know you will always be
with me in a


memory

Fall Into Forever

Fall into Forever


Jaded winter thaws my mind 
Like a cold november morning
Watch my soul catch fire in the wind

What still lingers in the pale moonlight 
Is not worth the pain 
As we fall into forever 
Winter rain washes away 
My mistakes my woes and pain 
A million miles away 
As we fall into forever

Drink, pills and thoughts of you cascade
Terrified and ashamed 
Shattered glass and broken frames 
Crimson oceans flood my dreams 
Drowining me
Into surender
(fall into forever)
Sweet release

Now I stand alone in the pale moonlight
I feel your pain 
As i fall into forever
Then I feel your tears 
As they fall on me 
(drowning )
As I fall into forever 

Sweet Dreams

Forever

Interview With a Vampire Pt1

and so it begins

can we ever feel pain over pain? a lust for the grave? we shall see

it has become an obsession of late that the suffering of angels that cannot 
escape
the tourture of mortals and slayers of debt
come as visions throughout the day to disrupt the dimensions of time and space
to dismember the ocntents of the human race

dream my child as best you well as when you wake in the depths of hell
parisians weep in the winters musk as vampires dawn as it reaches dusk

a fear and hatred storms the skies clouds disintergrate with a betryalls lies
the lust for more the need for power grows and grows with every hour

a broken smile with hate inside at lust for blood from a virgin bride
sweet red nectar from broken flesh drained and acepted to repay a debt

a debt of destruction from a siars fangs i yern for a stake from a humans hands
two hundred years i wish no more just my final ashes on the floor

we are what we are souls lost of found, but we all end up beneath the ground
am i the monster you wished youve been despatched by sunlight with a slient 
scream

Kryptonite

I woke today and saw that you were gone
Dont know if you were right i guess now I must have been wrong
Shaking my head in the mirror only thought is nevermind
You were my kryptonite 
I was your Superman

The faces in the street all look like the spit of you 
Long blonde hair bright blue eyes and the devil singing from your heart
As I keep walking I just hope these dreams subside
Your face a point blank range oh how i wish i died

Friends call me crazy 
How right they could be
I guess my mind should be
In a better place and time
With no conflicts of interests or tears of sorrow 
Am I back on solid ground

My world is rosey now 
I back to how I was 
The madness now burried on the dark side of the moon 
No need for phone booths 
No need for lois lane
Just me, myself, this player has returned to the game

In the Back of You Mind

extinguished like a smoking candles flame
sliding down the subway
imprisoned just the same
like a child
picked on by its friends
burised torn and defeated
will you be that boy again

(tears in the back of you mind)

repugnant impertenant thoughts of your
sweet face drawing close to mine 
with those hazel eyes pearcing
my haven once again
insurection
sprits drawn in two
half of me to heaven 
and the rest of with you
