nothings ever enough
always missing something
but you are complete
your image is perfect
you are so sweet
you make me smile
every time we meet
i know I'm not alone
when i feel this way
i know i will lose nothing
if i choose to stay
everything is everything
theres no other way
can't wait to come home
i know you will be there
all dressed up and lovely
knots in your hair
the smell of the woodfire
the absence of light
id wait in my chamber
id wait all night
i know I'm not alone
when i feel this way
i know i will lose nothing
if i choose to stay
everything is everything
theres no other way

I must have been dreaming
when you said my name
I know this feeling
its always the same
i thought we had something
but i was wrong
now i cant believe
its taken so
im left believing
this is all we'll be
i dont like
how it sounds to me
I want to be alone with you again
I want to hold your head in my hands
I want to be alone with you again
I want to be your only man
I must have been dreaming
when you said my name
I know this feeling
its always the same
I want to be alone with you again
I want to hold your head in my hands
I want to be alone with you again
I want to be your only man

Silence brings us
the love in life
silence brings us the shining light
free to dance in love and life
free to move in the light
won't you come on down
both fee firm on the ground
you hold the crown
queen of the ancient realms
I wanna feel your power
I know you can too
feel it growing bigger
bigger inside you
what is life
but the clearest expression of love
what is love
but the purest expression of trust

How It Used to Be

i could write a story about how when i was young
my life was full of mystery and beautiful and fun
but i somehow grew into a man who must devise a cunning plan to pay the bills and throw my ills outside the door and let them spill into the street for those around me laugh at point and say man what does he eat
its seemed ive turned to skin and bone
eating once or twice or maybe none
confrontational a bit with anyone
who claims to maybe know more than me
i think I’m smart but i guess well see
when tomorrow comes and the fridge is laughing because i haven’t fed it in weeks
but i still sleep, with my head at the foot of the bed
living backwards is better cause you don’t end up dead
when you wake up with a smile cause of something you said
3 weeks before but your not charming any more you reminisce
so here we are now I’m living in bus on the outskirts of town near river a turned to dust
i would never have expected that i would be so truly blessed
to wake up every morning next to a goddess
but among the leaves and decaying matter strewn about the forest
i find myself going wild envisioning a future for us
where love is free and free love reigns down from the heavens
just like shower that you havent had in a while
you can say the odour rising up from under your arms
only adds to your manly charms
potent potion of testosterone
anoints the throne of the one you chose to call your own
and they could be yours forever if you set them free
now i know what that means to me
now i know what that means to me
to set them free

My Day

x and y
born to die
puddle of wine
put a little in my bowl
ageless trees
a little weak in the knees
ill come around eventually
simplify
do or die
look inside
evil eye
who am I
look inside

Live Alone

take a step back
learn to relax
learn to be alright
living alone
its all in your mind
running out of time
you don’t need to be told
seven sisters running wild absent is the golden child of death
take my hand were moving on going to start a new life in the west
something tells me
ill be lonely
if l let my guard down baby
lift me up to where you are
so i can learn to laugh and cry again
why do i always feel the need to tell what you already know
i guess thats how it goes
i guess ill live alone

Timeless

The timeless unzips me
three cocks on the coat of arms
thoughts ring out
false alarm
aimless hours of sleep
where our lives meet
dreaming in the murky deep
Im back for a while now
i think im ready for a child now
cant break me
this time

Lollipop Girl

I’ve been waiting all day
for something to change
I’m getting frustrated now
because it all stays the same
oh my lollipop girl
I’m waiting on you
your move
theres always more to do
no rest when I’m thinking if you
I’m sure you’re mildly amused
throwing back your hair if you choose
its the end of the world
leave nothing to chance
give in to the dance

Future Voice

Im gonna listen to you
im gonna do what you say to do
im gonna speak my truth
even if that means losing your
what have i really got to lose
lose my vision of a future you
but the future is nothing but a choice
i wanna keep my voice
falling from the sky i can see it
its in your eyes i can feel it
no disguise
i have no desire to overcome
i have no desire to be someone
walking out
my way
same desires
every day
what are you
but a living choice i made
just a little afraid.
