Guilty As Charged

Passing the buck, pass me by,
The sides that we take, waste our time,
Furrows of worry plug the wound,
This life is just a ride, nothing more, nothing less to exhume.
Give me your hand, I gave you mine,
Running amok, the demons smile,
Lend love your heart, your eyes and mind,
Between fear and love we must chose our direction to climb.
Instead we’ll just drink all night,
And put the world to rights,
Guilty as charged for dodging the reason why.
Faithful & true, ever blue,
But temporary heartache requires temporary running shoes,
Painkillers make good, for a time,
But the truth that we hide from will undermine this life.
So we'll drink all night,
And put the world to rights,
Guilty as charged for dodging the reason why.
& we’ll ignore our plights,
Until the stars don’t shine,
Guilty as charged for having a damn good time!
I don’t care coz I’m for it; I don’t care to endure it,
End of the story, end of the line.
I don’t care coz I’m for it; I don’t care to endure it,
End of the glory, end of the ride.
I don’t care coz I’m for it; I don’t dare to endure it,
End of the glory, end of the line.
I don’t care coz I’m for it; I don’t dare to endure it,
End of the story, end of the blackened sky.
I never wanted to,
Look down but it’s nothing new,
I gave my best to you,
My secret love,
We almost danced again,
But circumstance dug that grave,
Well tomorrow’s another day,
To sway your heart, my secret love.

Save Us

Heads up now the damage is done,
It’s sink or swim,
Loose or win.
Heads up when the friendly hand fails,
And re-set-sail,
Head to tail.
It was not enough for the world to break me
Not enough for the way to shake me
Not enough for a lie to taste me
Start again? Start again!
Heads out of water, singing,
We’re singing save us, save us.
Pressure won’t stop it bleeding,
We’re sinking save us, save us.
Turn on the lights and you’ll see me.
Looking back on the taken flack,
Black and blue,
Where’s glue when you need it and all its glory?
Boxed in, this fool cannot swim,
Or splay its wings,
Not like this.
It was not enough for the world to break me,
Not enough for the way to shape me,
Not enough for a lie to taste me,
Start again? Start again!
Heads out of water, singing,
We’re singing save us, save us.
Pressure won’t stop it bleeding,
We’re sinking save us, save us.
Yeah, don’t forget I’m here tonight,
Don’t forget I’m on your side.
Yeah, we’re screaming save us, save us from ourselves.
Turn on the lights and you’ll see me.

I Wish

Ever found a day, where nothing matters?
Never ending stairs, head and heart in tatters,
I wish I’d stayed, I do.
This water works, but lonely hearts run (cold),
Make amends? Or cheat and pretend?
I wish I’d stayed, I do.
Young lover, like we had a clue,
Young lover, if only we knew.
Oooh oooh, oooh,
You’re not damned if you do what you like,
So meet me in the light.
Shadows at night, tears in a downpour,
Comparable,
To the hope of an encore.
I wish I’d stayed, with you.
Bound by hearts and weights,
Choices made by fear and hate,
But love’s not ours to waste,
Happy in a lonely place.
Flowers painted grey,
Heartache sides with those who walk away,
Second chances save,
Lives abound with better days.
Young lover, like we could have known
Young lover, let’s never grow old
Young lover, just wait
Young lover, OK...

Us Proof

This is hope, this is consequence,
What a joke, what a perfect mess.
This is everything I thought it would never be,
Stripped of everything I said I would never need.
For more than years I was holding back, now I’m standing good and strong,
For more than years I was holding back, now I know where I belong.
Is this fate, or coincidence?
Such a lovely dose of loneliness.
This is everything I thought we would never be,
Every time I wake I lose the warmth I seek.
For more than years I was holding back, now I’m standing good and strong,
For more than years I was holding back, now I know where I belong.
It’s been the long way round for us my friend,
Why ever start a war then bleed to end it?
Each time the table turns we remake our vow,
This is our truth, but are we us proof?

Little C

Time to breathe,
Hold on through perplexing days,
As you wait don’t be afraid.
This fool can see,
A light beyond our means,
Only waking to speak your name.
Caitlynn oh Caitlynn,
You don’t have to cry yourself to sleep.
Caitlynn oh Caitlynn,
Some things aren't meant to be.
Tomorrow is only a dream away,
You can, you will, just wait.
I believe, in little C.
Blessed are we,
To have loved, lost, lived, completely,
And I'll see you in my dreams.
If you feel alone or lost, and cannot see the end,
Lean on me, your everlasting friend.
Caitlynn oh Caitlynn,
You don't need to cry yourself to sleep,
Caitlynn woah Caitlynn,
Some things are meant to be,
Tomorrow is only a dream away,
So make it good and live that way,
Memories will fade with age,
But the love grows day by day.
I believe, in little C.
