Faults
There’s a fault in the way that I’m going
There’s a fault in the way that I am
The difference is that I didn’t know it
I just want to find someone who understands
Why we are still living out on the edges
Why we’ll never take the urge to up and leave
I’ve been to the centre but I felt like I was slipping
Like I was bound to fall and like I couldn’t breathe
I’ll find faults in the places I’m standing
I’ll find faults in the air and in the trees
But I spend too much time focussing on the negatives
But that’s the price, the weight, and the cost of being me
For all the time I made life difficult
For the times I looked the other way
For all the times I thought I was not good enough
For the times I didn’t have the guts to say
My faults are there but I don’t worry
My faults laid bare but I don’t worry

Acrasia
Acrasia
Is what you’ve got
You know what you should do
But you can’t make it through
Why would one willingly go towards evil?
I don’t know
But when the dark comes around
And steals the sound
And there’s an ocean between
Where you are and where you want to be
I don’t want to waste the moment
I don’t want to waste the moment here
Acrasia
Is what you’ve got
You know what you should do
But you can’t make it through
When there’s an ocean in between
Where you are and where you want to be
(Come cross it with me)
I don’t want to waste the moment here

Blood Vessels
What a strange thing it is
To know Yourself
How can you do this?
If you’re longing for distraction
All the time
Reaching into the unknown
Willingly
What’s to find if you already know
We’re Blood Vessels, Sailing on
Blood Vessels,
We are ships in the darkness
Carrying all this,
One thing at a time
But how can you sail?
And how can you grow?
If you don’t even know what you are
And you don’t know what you don’t know
Blood Vessels, We Are
Blood Vessels, We Are
Where the inner meets the outer
Where the sea meets the land
Where the roots meet the trees
Is where we try to understand
How to get through all of this alive
How to keep an open hand
As the cold wind blows these vessels Home
Blood Vessels, We Are
Blood Vessels, We Are

Heaney
Why do we do the same things
We know just what we’ll find
You know there’s something better
Deeper in your mind
You can take Picasso’s paintings
Have them copied brush, colour, and stroke
While Heaney’s final masterpiece
Was written never spoke
If your mind is going too fast for your head
Slow it down and learn to express yourself again
You said that I’d been here eight hundred times or more
But I’ve returned to be better than before
Now I know that Heaney’s final masterpiece
Will not get away from me

Get Over Myself
Jealousy does sometimes get me
I can feel it like a pin prick to my heart
And I know it doesn’t suit me
I tend to worry - let my mind roam off too far
I see people in the cities
They take it all in and let it all go
I’ve been reading every line twice
In case there’s something in between that I should know
I was only trying to get over myself
I’ve broken my own heart
I just don’t seem to care
If you don’t know right from wrong
Choose the hard one
I’m learning change as I get older
I always thought things just stay the way they are
Out on the edge we’ve found our comfort
Now we need change and we never go too far
If you don’t know where to stop
Choose the far one
If you don’t know right from wrong
Choose the hard one

Money
It used to mean more
When we’d say how we feel
The noise is rising now
But none of it is real
Do you find it hard
To rise above
We should switch off and be ourselves
Disconnect and see what’s left
Make time, think free
If you’re told what you should like and do
The money it is spending you again
There’s more to this my friends
We’re still told
That our speech is free, but,
The cost is culture
And how we used to be
Like the boats we had
We’ve tied them up now
And we watched them rot away
The water is rising, doesn’t matter now
Just look the other way
Do you find it hard
To rise above
Remember all the things you learned
They’re the gifts you’ve never earned
Slow it down
And try to see
There’s more than just the red and blue
The money it is spending you again
There’s more to this my friends
Do you remember
When we read all of the the books
How things really look
Before the screens took over
When you had to ask first
To dance with a lover
Before connection came through wires
When we taught each other lessons by the fires
Before we let it slip away
Does it matter anyway
It used to be easier
You said something simple, something true
An energy I never knew
I broke away and felt it too
The money wasn’t spending me or you

Water
All the things you could see if you go
You could stay
Never change, never know
What it’s like to step outside of you
Who you are
What you’ve learned and what you do
Between the known, the unknown,
And the truth
Between the love of the notes
And what they do
To me, and to us, and to you
Water moves like
Moves just like my soul
Some people see it
Others they need shown
I was tired of living underground
I want to get to a place where we can grow
I can feel it getting closer now
I’m coming up and I can feel the water flow

If Only You Knew
If only know you
What you’d have to do
To try and fit in
When it comes from a good place
Come and join the race
The aim is to loose
I’ve been digging holes
But I’m trying to get out
They’ve been keeping silent
But they want to scream and shout
I’ve been holding my breath
I’m afraid you’ll figure out
In case you find what I’ve been trying to hide
In case you see that I’ve got a weak side
Why be so cruel
There’s nothing more perfect
More beautiful or pure
I’ve dropped so far
That I’m fighting every day
Just to get back to where you are
I’ve been digging deeper
But I’m trying to find the way
They’re still keeping silent
But they’ve lost the faith to pray
I’ve been holding my breath
I’m afraid there’s no other way
From keeping you
From finding what I’m trying to hide
From keeping you
From seeing that I’ve got a weak side
Well I’ve been having dreams and
They keep me up at night
I didn’t know your favourite hiding place
Was in behind your lies
I didn’t say that I was perfect
At least I fucking tried

Golden Dreams
I thought I heard your voice -
Was it You in that Dream,
With gold wrapped around your limbs?
When you sat upright in bed
In the middle of the night
And your head burst into light
Through the ceiling
Do you remember that?
Was it you?
And all that trouble with your father
It came rushing back
Like opium, crucifying your spirit
And the demons of your backstage
stepped into your performance again
And you silently called for help
With a smile on your face
Because you didn’t want anyone to know
It was You
Have you got what you came for?
If it’s no, then just hold on.
These Golden Dreams will guide you
Turning pain into stone
Do you remember when
There were seven suns in the sky
And it was just far too hot,
Or when you were shot,
Trying to save your lover
And you wonder still if they know
When you felt the presence of your spiritual guides
Looking down on you from the sky
There was a lady in the middle
A bear on the right and a knight on the left
Have you got what you came for
If it’s no, then just hold on.
These Golden Dreams will guide you
And turn that pain into stone
Do you remember when you found out
You had a old, shiny, deadly, sword buried in your heart?
And you always wondered what it was
that hit off the corners when you ran around.
And you wondered if it was only you
And remember how surprised you were
When you pulled it out,
Took a deep breath, and felt like you would die
But then you were alright
Have you gotten what you came for
If it’s no then just hold on
What is that I see on the starboard bow
Golden dreams breaking off the bow
What is that I see on the starboard bough?
What is that I feel overhead?
Is it the broken waves of all the polished Dreams
rolling round in my head and
fading away again

Book of Perfect Lines
Like the greatest story that was never written
I don’t ask your secrets and you don’t tell mine
Because you already know mine
You can see straight through me
At least I read you could
In my book of perfect lines
With an ending already written, sealed, and it’s signed
And it’s famous for the heartbreak that was not deserved
But we all deserve the chance to struggle in this world
All the stars I’ve been counting since I was a baby
They remember all your stories and even some of mine
If I had just one question I know what I’d ask them
But I’m afraid of the answer if it’s that we run out of time
And it’s famous for the heartbreak and the sorrow that was not deserved
I find it hard to settle
I’m a product of these times
Like a flower that has lost its petals
I can see your picture
But I cannot find the lines

Sit and Breathe
We need it like it’s never been before
A king or queen for the poor
And I think it’s you
I like it when the picture doesn’t fit the frame
I like the things I can’t explain
Am I the same as you
We’re losing sight of what is real
People are digital and loosing feel
Can I connect with you
Take in the moment
Loose all the pressure
Sit and Breathe
I don’t care about the fight or the race
You’re the Jesus Christ Caliphate
And a human first
If there’s nothing missing then there’s nothing there
If you hadn’t learned it then you wouldn’t care
I’ll start my own church
I’ll burn it down I’ll start again
Take in the colour
Take in the sound
And get yourself free
I’m getting deja vu
But I’ll keep faith in you
I’m not afraid of change
I’m more afraid things stay the same
Black Friday painkiller
Money driven life filler

Stoned
I’ve been thinking lately
Why are we out on our own
Now I’ve opened myself up
I’m being less of my own
Why are you fixed on the centre,
Why are you stuck in today?
We’re over here on the outside
Where things are never the same
Have you found your own space yet
Not for me but for you
I’ll never tell you how to feel
I’ll never tell you what you have to do
Your choices are your own
I find it hard
It’s hard to find
No time to waste
No waste of time
Last night we were drinking
Last night we got stoned
We know what we are now
We don’t need to be told
Is it really important
Or just a snapshot of time
Tattoo’d on your shoulder
For the rest of your life
There’s not one of us perfect
We’re all breaking the rules
I’ll never tell you right from wrong
I’ll never tell you what you have to do
This is not a confession
And nothing is wrong
Enjoy who you are more
With us you belong
Take a place in the sunrise
See the beauty through tears
Nature forever
For millions of years
In the stars
In the darkness
Like the calm after rain
Human connection
Until nothing remains
Last night I was drinking
Last night I got stoned
Nobody got hurt
I kept it under control

Looking To The Sky

Looking to the Sky
I was young I’d look to the sky for roots
I asked the elders they did too
Sons and Daughters,
It’s a matter of time
And it’s all coming down the line
To our event horizon
Sun was shining deep into bone
An open eye, an ancient smile
Greets my mind
Touching stone
Now we’re looking to the sky
A mind in the costume of a flesh and bone suit
Looking to the sky for roots
I can see the neurons fire behind the ocean in your eye
When you’re looking to the sky
If the abyss is coming, darling
I want to sit and and watch it coming with you
We’ll pack some things and watch it all floating to it’s end
We won’t be afraid at all
The catacombs of the heart in exploded view
Secrets, Souls or Formulas on display like a car manual
And before it’s all left behind
For the next You and I to gather round
And explain what made
The sound in the costume of a flesh and bone suit
Looking to the sky for roots
Looking in your eye for truth
