Sometimes it’s not okay
It’s fine to feel that way
Sometimes enough’s enough
Sometimes the waters rough
Staring at a half full glass
That sits upon a crooked table
On a wine stained rug
The one that you just got
And I think
Blue
It’s the right colour on you
Sometimes the game stays rigged
Sometimes the future is hid
But while the oceans still swirling
And the lovers are still yearning
I see the buildings burning
In a place I left so long ago
Those shackled ghosts they deserved it
From the shadowlands to a brighter shore
Staring at a half full glass
That sits upon this charming table
On a wine coloured rug
A gift from my everlasting love
I think
Blue
It’s the right colour on you

Open Road
Better phone in for an angel
Or some other message from above
Something that defies imagination
And all of your stories built from dust
I’m at the close of the open road, ’m heading home
Nothing but dead ends, U-turns and lost love
I’ve seen your blood , seen your ghost that haunts the open road
I turned around just see that you’re not alone and moved on
You’re a ticking time bomb, baby
Barely minutes before you explode into an enigmatic femme fatale
The shards of beauty ,gonna break some hearts
I walk by a silent disco
I watch it play out like, like a 21st century fresco
And the DJ is pure Art Deco
I’m at the close of the open road, I’m heading home
Nothing but dead ends, U-urns and lost love
I’ve seen your blood , seen your ghost that haunts the open road
I turn around just see that you’re not alone and moved on

Flesh & Bone

Flesh and Bone
We are flesh and bone
We’re nothing more , so treat me like flesh and bone
But we live in our heads, we think something there can save us from our flesh and bone
Hold me in your loving arms
So I’m braced for the winter
Teach me what I need to know
So I can spot the summer on the horizon
We are flesh and bone
We’re nothing more , so treat me like flesh and bone
But we live in our minds and it pins us to our time and fills our heads with worries
So while my eyes are still open
I’ll cast my gaze on the ocean
And even just for a moment
I’ll truly be in the moment.
Hold me in your loving arms
So I’m braced for the winter
Teach me what I need to know
So I can spot the summer on the horizon

Pick a side
East , West, Left, Right
I need to go
Stare into the unknown
I'm a shadow , I'm a ghost
Still drifting through the Fog
Still drifting through the Fog
Pick a side
East or West
Left or right
I just need to go
and nothings gonna change my mind
I want to know what it's like
to stare into the unknown
I'm a shadow I'm a ghost
Still drifting through the fog
Still drifting through the Fog
Somewhere, there's a setting sun
Somewhere there's my lovers touch
When this train leaves I think I'm gonna tag along
Caught in the summer breeze feels like winters never gonna come
Still drifting through the Fog

Some Fights

Some Fights
Did you give up?
Just when things get a little tough
Did you hang your head in shame
Just to have someone to blame
Do you water your thoughts
Or think about them all just way to often
Did you do what you’re taught
Or is that another thing that gets forgotten
Did you think that faith was ever gonna be enough?
Some fights ,
Some fight are worth fighting for
Some nights you won’t even get on the board
Is it getting loud?
The voice inside your head that gives you nothing
Or do you harmonize with the spirits inside
Did you keep up your faith
When all the shadows stretched into one darkness
Or did you pick up your paint and stretch them out into a brand new canvas
Did you think that faith was ever gonna be enough
Did you think that fate was ever gonna give it up
Cause some fights
some fight are worth fighting for
Some nights you won’t even get on the board
Some fights (some fights)
Some fight are worth fighting for (take time)
Some nights (sometimes)
You won’t even get on the board (you gotta be kind)

If I let you go I’ll never get you back
I wanna get closer to you
If you won’t be my heart attack
I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer
Just keep your eyes on me
We live this lucid dream
caught in the moment
There ain’t no looking back
our love fills the expanse
and drifts forever (and drifts forever)
There was never gonna be enough time (But i’ll keep you on my mind tonight)
We gotta do what we do
The way that you spin under the chandelier
I can’t refuse
Cause I can’t stop thinking about you
When morning comes
Sunshine leaks through gaps and tears in summer drapes
Tender grips, wet whispers slip, wet whispers turn and twist and shimmer
Like the river's shape
Just keep your eyes on me
We live this lucid dream
caught in the moment
There ain’t no looking back
Our love fills the expanse and drifts forever and drifts forever
There was never gonna be enough time (But I’ll keep you on my mind tonight)
We gotta do what we do
The way that you spin under the chandelier
I can’t refuse
Every time I think of leaving, I hang around for a minute or two
All of the signs are straight-up screaming at me
She’s gonna make you brand new
We gotta do what we do, what we do
All of the signs are straight-up screaming at me
She’s gonna make you brand new
Never gonna , never gonna , never gonna be enough
We got to do what we do
The way that you spin under the chandelier
I can’t refuse...
Never gonna , never gonna , never gonna be enough

Loneliness

Loneliness,
I’m afraid of you
I’m a friend to you
Loneliness,
I’ve forgiven you
I’ve forgotten you
I’m awash in a sea of people
Just living their own lives taking their own time
I don’t want this feeling
So why should I care if there’s anyone there?
I’ll bury my phone at last
Skip like a stone off the plank
I’m better alone I swear
One day I’ll feel whole anywhere
Loneliness,
I’m afraid of you
I’m a friend to you
Loneliness,
I’ve forgiven you
I’ve forgotten you
No longer with my head in the sand
I’ll be like the water that divides up the land
I’m really a ghost, can’t you see?
A vapour a trace of an energy
While I’m huffing and puffing I hope I don’t explode
And expose all the flaws of a life on the road

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe.
