Hiding In The Dark 04:22
lyrics
buy track
You wont find me So don’t even try to look The mask is in place & the shadows are welcoming This modern fabricated humanised & filled world is not for me I can’t stand pale blue walls & fluorescent lights It is to stark, cold & jarring on these weary eyes I’m tired of the arguments Or the unspoken tension between us all No one truly gets along & my back sports to many scars truly trust any more You can fight amongst yourselves I’m not going to step in from now on I’m to busy licking my numerous wounds Goodbye I’d like to say I’ve hade fun but… Well do enjoy yourselves in my absence As you destroy each other in your sterile little existence Oh & if you need me I’ll be hiding in the dark So don’t even try to look You wont find me

Stay Away (From My Family Or I’ll Kill You) 04:39
lyrics
buy track
Touch the little ones & you will need to forever watch your back because I’m coming Leave us alone we don’t need your kind around here or anywhere for that matter You leave devastation in your wake and have the nerve to ask if I have a conscience I’ll have your head for what you’ve already done So don’t compound problems or I’ll take your heart as well So stay away from my family or I’ll kill you I’ll rip you apart & destroy your petty little world & leave you in the state you left me I’ll Tear you oesophagus from your throat & feed it to the dogs a fitting reward No more screaming abuse or barking orders like an insane nazi war criminal Just go, leave now & never return to the scene of your crimes The poor broken lives of the people unfortunate enough to have meet you I’ll pity them for the rest of my natural life So stay away from my family or I’ll kill you

Backstroking With Piranhas 02:28
lyrics

The water is running red The pain is peaking badly The toothy fish are still hungry The flesh is being torn away The muscles will soon be devoured The white of bones is now showing Not the easiest way to travel Backstroking with piranhas

Heartless 03:41
lyrics
buy track
I am heartless Nothing beats within An empty shell pretending to care Don’t try to get close I will accidentally hurt you And I have seen it You can feel pain I can’t even remember what its like Don’t try to fix me I am completely healed Scar tissue betrays it The tragic past long forgotten The lack of concern for anything Impale me where my heart should beat I won’t flinch cause I have no feeling left

We Fled 05:48
lyrics
buy track
We fled from You when they came to kill You We turned away from the cruel brutality You went through But we’re the spineless morons You came to save We didn’t speak up at the face of Your trial We denied any knowledge of You As the poultry cackled at us in disgust Forgive us please Though we do You harm We need You now Without You were nothing Nothing we’ve ever done Makes us deserve You But thanks to Your love Were washed in Your blood Now we’ll all live together Forever & ever Amen

Future Uncertain 05:09
lyrics
buy track
Why can’t I see what’s in front of me For all I know I’m spiralling to oblivion I feel so lost and unsure about everything My compass was lost years ago & autopilot is failing Future Uncertain How can I climb out of this black, bleak hole Is there something brighter down further Is it time to about face with extreme hast How long can I survive in this tug-of-war limbo I know I need to be packed & ready for something But what it could be is completely undecipherable I need some direction & clues to guide me I’m sick and tired of this intolerably uncertain future What’s in store What’s around the corner What’s about to happen What

Only Good For Compost 07:35
lyrics
buy track
The flowers in the garden are dying The petals are all falling The leaves are all shrivelling The time has come to pull them out Well my life is going as well as those plants The time for me to be picked is well and truly past I’ve had enough and this pain is intolerable I’ve learnt my lesson that life is not such fun I’m sick and tired of this world I’d love to leave Oh, compost Only good for It’s true Time has not been so good to me Of wasted more of it then is fair I’ve tried to stick to the path But it’s all just gone pear shaped No there is nothing left No, no return to happiness No jollity anymore It’ all up hill battle from now on I’m so sick and tires of this life Only, only, only good Only good Only good Only good for compost The plants in the garden Need such help to survive With this useless garbage life I can only help them in one way By giving up all the vital nutrients That we all need to survive We could help them to remain in this life If we just lay down and die The plants would receive an influx of vitamins That would enable them to bloom A Glorious show of petalled beauty Due to necrosis and death We’ll just enjoy the flower show Of our demise But there hope! But there life Continuing in this world, not such a bad price The garden will survive if we just water it some more We not need to be compost to aid in its health Its time to find to reason for life Its time to get back to the existence of old And continue on the path to the garden And revel in the colour and revel in the scent The new growth and the opening buds A riot of petalled love and care for the whole world to see

Let’s Go For A Walk 07:05
lyrics
buy track
The air in here is stifling & outside is beaconing So lets go for a walk Through the backdoor we’ll go & down the path we’ll go Come on lets go for a walk The sun outside is shining but I wouldn’t mind if storm clouds were gathering overhead Just to be with you I would walk anywhere Lets just go walk away forever together never to return Walking through the garden I’ll pick only the best Flowers on our walk We could sit amongst them for hours and hours While we pause on our walk The bright happy sunflowers, the delicate dahlias, the clambering nasturtiums We could go and pick some fruit to have a picnic in the garden Munching on sweetness as the sun beaming down on us We’ll continue on through the fields to the little babbling stream On our restful walk Strolling through the gently swaying tall grass & wildflowers Come on lets continue our walk Resting in the shade of willows and poplars Enjoying the peace of our walk Listening the melody of the birds & watching the beautifully painted butterflies as they flutter past The soft green grass underfoot gives way to sparkling sand As we continue on our walk The footprints we leave may fade but our passion wont Together on our walk Refreshing rock pools cool our feet from our ankles to between our toes As we sit for a short while The rhythmic waves a restful soundtrack for our minds While the salt spray breaths life into us

Forgiveness 03:21
lyrics
buy track
How can you love me How can you take me back I’m not worth your attention I’m not worth your forgiveness How do you over look by past How do you take me as I am I’m not worth the heartache I’m not worth your forgiveness How will you accept me How will you change me I’m not worth the struggle I’m not worth your forgiveness How could I live without you How could I ever be the same I love you and your attention I love you and your forgiveness

Forest Fire 05:20
lyrics
buy track
Smouldering embers lay amongst the scattered ash Ancient trees reduced to charred stumps and guttered logs Forest Fire Acres of green devoured by merciless flames All life fleeing the devastation and horror Forest Fire But the seeds in the soil And the showers from the sky Germination, green shoots Revigouration Regeneration Remnants returning Bigger & better Forest flourishing Like the phoenix rising from it ashes The forest rises soon Overshadowing its former self With renewed vigour the new growth creates something stronger & healthier then before Grappling grief Overcoming obstacles Flowers in full bloom

Love Please Return 05:11
lyrics
buy track
Well another day has past & I’m missing you even more I wish I could regret feeling this way but I can’t It’s like an epidemic you have infected me with Completely nonsensical but we always were There’s no settling for anyone else since the day I met you I’m angry with you but I love you, I need you, I miss you Love please return Please don’t punish me anymore with your absence I can’t apologise anymore for what happened but I’ll try to anyway You’re a vital part of my life, without you there’s a piece missing We’ve had problems in the past but till now remained inseparable This can easily sorted out if you would just come home I’m angry with you but I love you, I need you, I miss you Love please return

Stay 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Stay! There is something worth waiting for He’s already been but He’s coming again very soon Life is too precious to throw away It’s a gift from the One who loves you More than anything in this world More than you could ever know So stay Get ready Things will change No more hurt Stay! Love is on its way to you You have to hang on to receive the reward Even though you will be tested: LIVE We’d sorely miss you if you went He’ll guide you though the trials ahead We’ll help you though them if you let us
