Sad Am I 02:46
Oh how sad am I Sitting here and waiting for another guy Wanting only you to come and kill this lie Fractured little thoughts but I have to try Sweet lover won’t you please grow up I need you be the one who will help me fill this cup Life is so uncertain and I feel so scared Shadows and the monsters bringing things I feared. Oh how cruel am I Putting on my make up for another guy Hope he doesn’t see when I start to cry As I start to cry Sweet lover won’t you please grow up I need you to be the one who will help fill this cup Life is so uncertain and I feel so scared Shadows and the monsters bringing all the things I feared And here they are again Climbing up my stairs knocking to get in They’re calling to remind me that I am holding on They’re shouting to wake me from this sad sad song Oh how wrong am I Looking in the eyes of this other guy Seeing a house and a white picket fence Living out a life of wine and pretense

Puppet Dream 03:36
Sunbeam rise over me Hair entwined lovers to be Sweet dreams like candy floss Floating on tides of green and crimson too Pleasure waits for no man but you Time goes by and stars Shine inside your mind Nothing can take you away from me Heavenly strings no need to unbind We're happy puppets we are Sleeping side by side So happy puppets we are Sleeping side by side

Running out of time to tell you now my love The mind is twisted around the simple words that I just can't say I never saw you coming but here you are paradise... a sweet reminder Is it a bridge too far Is it a bridge too far Is it a bridge too far To reach for me now Never a single moment Fear taking over love Reaching out forever simple pleasures left here unknown

Exorcism 02:14
Killing my body as I kill our love Getting the hell out of the safe places Running scared where is my wine Don’t look too close might find the Divine You always speak of water under the bridge The truth is a mystery to you If you listen real close you’ll hear the wail The cracks and tears as I inhale Don’t mistaken the love is still there Hiding inside the room in there All green and blue with ugly faces Hands and feet that reach and grind Where will the rage go you ask me Are you safe well I don’t know The body is weakened the mind is weaker Can’t even pretend to be the seeker All I know is the chasm inside The truth is broken but the woman survives Throw your rocks the forgotten has risen Leave me here in my exorcism
5.
Little Lilly 03:50
Little lily woke up today with a heart lifting up to play Kissing catches in the sun Sweet intentions on the run Little Lilly forgot the world today As the dark clouds begin to build All around her they gather in With hearts not of pride but built of tin Little Lilly can’t you see They are here to ravage and devour And as she smiles, cornered in the dark She says, I know what you want Yes I, I know what you want Know what you want But still she reels as the confusion sets in Guilt is the victor for the false sin Nothing committed, nothing done Just a sweet game gone so horribly wrong Little Lilly wringing hands, running free From the salted hearts left out in the sun An innocence taken so damn young From a little girl left undone Little Lilly can’t you see They are here to ravage and devour And as she smiles, corner in the dark She says, I know what you want Yes I , I know what you want Know what you want Know what you want Know what you want.

There we lie Only half of what we were Half of what we can be A semblance of selves Two halves of a whole We can’t ever be A ghost, a ghost story There we be Colours all drained and pale With tears all dried up in the cold Hearts in the open Broken left wide To a ghost, a ghost story Wondering apart, hand in hand Two ghosts in Beijing Thoughts travelling at a million miles Two ghosts in Beijing Imprisoned in a cell Of reflections in the dark From a past we keep safely inside Like ribbons of blood We grope and we hold To a ghost, a ghost story We breath and we climb To a peak we can’t seem to find It’s the truth held only in the mind And a feeling takes hold And it liberates the soul To a ghost, a ghost story Wondering apart, hand in hand Two ghosts in Beijing Thoughts travelling at a million miles Two ghosts in Beijing A fortress that was built, built to divide Two ghosts in Beijing Two ghosts in Beijing I loved you my ghost in Beijing.

I have fallen so deeply inside of you My example Will you fall off that pedestal so I May see your smile and hold you in arms When will your solitude be enough and your mountain fall It's the illusion that keeps you from the vision of me And the warmth that I can give Precious moments to share as equals Love Justified away from the pain And tears left here unfallen With moments shared in vain Love Justified Love Justified Love Justified Love Justified It's the fear in you that keeps the beauty inside and the lie you were sold and what is left is another memory of love to keep A sad story of fools Precious moments to share as equals Love Justified away from the pain And tears left here unfallen With moments shared in vain You stand so far away from me In my longing I am blind And my fingers are frozen in the face of your cold Baby let me take your heart inside Love justified Love justified Love justified Love justified

Hang On 05:28
Hang On You'll see, I'll hold you so fondly Life leads us so far astray In illusion poison has its way Don't let their hands drive you down Scent of roses leads to the crown Looking inside there's so much to see Inherent wisdom inside you and me Deeper than anyone has ever looked Save for a few that world forsook In pieces we all don't stand Like the glove that doesn't fit the hand Letting go is part of the key In dreams there's wisdom for all to see You ask so many questions The answers like the dark oceans Mental man has lost the key Shrouded in life's mystery Don't let their hands drive you down Scent of roses leads to the crown Leads... Leads... to the crown Crown Just hold on...

A song of faces and sounds Ringing in my eyes But it's always you that wants to stay And so I let you in To fill up my mind With smiles and cheekbones I love you you see And I haven't loved before All the others were liars When they held me on the floor It was insanity when I forgot to Wait for you... And so I look onto An empty page Hoping my words can keep you From going astray And leaving me here Hopeless with life to squander I love you you see And I haven't loved before All the others were liars When they held me on the floor It was insanity when I forgot to Wait for you...

I Am Broken 02:04
Seems like life is falling apart Little shards to pierce the heart Have a lover that doesn't feel like my own Only pain sounding its old drone How does the forked tongue summon to me Into the dark I always seem to flee there's no light left to lead the way All the torch bearers have gone astray Oh calm come to soothe me Oh calm come to hold me Oh calm come to arrest me Cause I'm broken There's a little girl's voice playing inside my head The sound of her like agony For she waits for me on foreign shores So far now I can no longer see And the ground is now a hollow There are no ropes to stop the fall Love has turned now to ashes I am withered here when I should be tall Oh calm come to soothe me Oh calm come to hold me Oh calm come to arrest me Cause I'm broken

Soft eyes in memory with words unspoken Soft hands left reaching but nothing is broken Nothing to leave nothing gain The rules don't apply when nothings the same The curl of the smile and satin in touch Eyes like home you never asked too much A week, a month, a forever in your pleasure Skeletons and pink letters, a chest of treasure I run my hand across your head Sometimes alone we can't help the dread Don't say goodbye with fear in your mind True love is never is never unkind Feel desire let live your fire Just kiss me... just kiss me through the wire Kiss me... just kiss me through the wire Kiss me... kiss me through the wire And being alone and left behind No fighting the wave when we made up our mind With every word we sink ever deeper Waters so warm they soothe the sleeper The terror has gone the soul is awake Giving it all with everything at stake Giving it all with everything at stake Don't say goodbye with fear in your mind True love is never is never unkind Feel desire let live your fire Just kiss me... just kiss me through the wire Kiss me... just kiss me through the wire Kiss me... kiss me through the wire Kiss me... kiss me through the wire
