olive oil
go my son
father said
out there it's broken and empty
travel far
see the world as it is
until it disappears
tell those gods of swine
i haven't got a care in mind
radiostars on my
TV colours my fascination
all that you are
she swallows the words
spits the storyline
ease my doubt
dedicate my heart
met a gypsy on the road
caravan far behind
she changed all my rules
as she flipped her hair with a smile
the stars she said the only way out
keyholes in the sky
we dreamed for seven years
sipping life as wine

Vice Versa

vice versa
you and i are torn
all that's left is scorn
ravaged to the wire
crawling back to you
at the end of regret
i am all for nothing
goddess fill my empty
lover share the night
harlots haunt my dreams
princess shackled cry
no angel sent to guide me
i'm all left in parts
mercy is a sham
heaven is a lie
vapid are my secrets
burn out for yer blues
play me for the wanted
all this push and pride
goddess fill my empty
lover share the night
harlots haunt my dreams
princess shackled cry
no angel sent to guide me
i'm all left in parts

soliloquy
hurry down, now don't be late
the shooting stars are out to play
burning angel wings streak fallen skies
by grand design, a fragile frame
holds on and on, all we can do
patient kisses ride the after-dark
you and me are free in endless love
you and me are free in endless love
trust in me, i’ll set you free to all
you and me are free in endless love
stars shine
stars shine
stars shine
summer storm, this catalyst
my stream of thought just can't resist
the pulls and ploys of silver echo nights
kimono dreams and tattered saris
a wish for you to chase and kiss
memory lights the airs and dues of bliss
you and me are free in endless love
trust in me, i’ll set you free to all
the world can’t hold your dream alone this time
the time has come to live your life with mine
as we traded secrets then
now we give our hopes a chance
reprieve from all this demand
now you see
now you see
now you see
you and me are free in endless love
trust in me, i’ll set you free to all
you and me are free in endless love
you and me are free in endless love

asher & azrael
dreamers delight, at the smiling sunny skies
take me with you, when the moon calls for the night
this one’s for the moonlight, baby
where the sun and the moon collide
gonna blast the stars to shards
make the zodiac all mine
this one’s for your red shoes, baby
we’re gonna dance-dance-dance away
everything’s gonna be clockwork
everything’s got its time
life is never as it seems, we’re gonna rock on
life is never as it seems, we’re gonna rock on
life is never as it seems, we’re gonna rock on
revolution’s got a voice, it’s coming to change our ways
got a fist full of money – got my clones, the world holds a secret you ought to know
freedom really isn’t free, you’ve got to give it all to see
take it all - I've got more, the sacred heart - a driving force
propaganda is parody, keep calm and carry on
past-present-future under sway, there’s no way I’m gonna break
sweet mother earth - stay with me now, I'm still on your tour
at the center of it all, stardust and wonder - alchemy!

Sweet 1

sweet 1
my desire, helpless sin
i am broken from within
rune baby, you’re my sweet one
a one and only for myself
my lonely, secret treasure
that i won’t cash in for fantasy
i’m destruction, i’m devotion
i’m the faith for your heresy
cause you’re all plebs and i’m so sad
oh well, oh no, who cares, too bad
a true poet is who i’ll be
for fads and fakers are all i see
gifts of innocence are lost in bliss
and i’m lovelorn and lusty, just like you
you’re running down on all your shine
you’re born to lose every time
revelations come in an ever-waking dream
can reality be what i really need?
for all the magic that resides in me
this can’t be nothing that i feel
the twisted mannequins smile down at me
where dirty children run so free
in a world where hope is devoid of me
oh god above, this cannot be
if love is roses then i’m the thorns
and you’re the softest petals
you’re the one to take my hand
you’re the lover to understand

Becoming the Villain

becoming the villain
they say life is a parade
you're in or out, kid
so make no mistake
i'll play to win, the devil my trump
for pride and glory and the rest
i've seen doom on the road
like wolves with no teeth
as i crash like yesterday
darling, oh, where are your arms?
i saw an old fool
lose his wife to rings and things
too much to carry
but for lord's sake
someone give his son a job
i've seen death on the road
like crows at dawn
as i wake with strangers
darling, oh, where are your arms?
they say loss is empty
with no second chances
pennies for my grief
can't stand my own tune
and nowhere to go
i've been alone on the road
like a homeless ghost
as i crawl through the filth
darling, oh

Serpents

serpents
i don’t want to be alone
but there is a secret deep inside
i know not of what or why
i feel it coiled around my spine
on a wing and a prayer
armed with a penitent knife
no more strength, no more pain
no wait, please stay
patience taught me fury
to strike the agent
to eat you whole
there’s no way out
so come taste the air
and ante up
play the game
roll your dice
snake eyes
we are consumers
in cosmetic costumes
we are cosmic forces
with imploding wills connecting madness
and apple eyes
snake bite
now i’m free
lost in disbelief
full of life
now i’m free
get out of my way
i’m running my maze
dolores
i’m running my maze

Cascade

cascade
shut my blinds
don't want to see
what has become of my world
a digital tabloid of porn
and sleepless nights
the sullen pendulum counts
my worry dolls
so come share a drink
and a much needed laugh
a little naive
a little more toxic cola
is this pay dirt
or is there another way
follow the cascade
to the valley below
take a day
plant a tree and dance for roots
to celebrate the sky
pushing thru to a place
that i call you
something beautiful will come
after all is said and done
i remind myself
every time i'm left alone

The Great Escape
02:57

the great escape
going home
pitter-patter steps
watch the dolly pass
wave me by
forget my face
sun is dimming out
i just can't make
the great escape
from your shade
peace of mind
how long must i wait
under lock and key
i will take your secret
to my grave
block my phone
so nothing is clear
did our baby break
or did i
choose in haste
colour the quote, oh
i just can't make
the great escape
from your scene
under glass
i scrub the stain
my memory
taken as hostage by
my own make (mistake)

For Your Love
04:51

for your love
soldier down, double the guard
we’re crossing all these lines
my collar’s up, i’m ready
to face the bitter wind
turncoat, lay the siege
and starve me sweetly
what’s become of honesty
simply a point of view
i must be blind
for your love, i’ll offer all of my heart
for your love, i’ll tear the page from my mind
for your love, i’ll weave the finest tapestry
for your love, i’ll sweep the dust from the moon
swap the flag, white for green
there’s blood on these hands
what’s our mission, to conquer these tears
and always be true
salvage this wreck, swallow these years
devoted to your temple
what’s become of harmony
simply the space between
am i holding my breath
for your love, i’ll offer all of my heart
for your love, i’ll tear the page from my mind
for your love, i’ll weave the finest tapestry
for your love, i’ll sweep the dust from the moon
how have we come to be this far
have we come of age
to feel so real, to live for grace
on distant shores, we greet the dawn
with timeless hearts, bound in trust
for your love, for all of your love
i have been waiting

rune
heaven, such a sentimental place
i'm the fool, who believes
heaven, crashing cars down below
i'm the fool, who believes
i’m empty arms
desperate
betrayed
i’m the fool, who believes
who believes
heaven, it’s a beautiful day
i’m still waiting for the rain
heaven, it’s a beautiful day
i’m just a man in your game
i’m up in arms
famished
forgotten
i’m the fool, who believes
who believes
rune, divine
rune, divine
divine
carry pictures across the sea
marriage rings inside the trees
little hearts, fond memory
still i find myself alone
love just seeps out from my bones
love just seeps out from my bones
dreams, out of reach
pillow talk, in your sleep
how far must we crawl
for some ease
the rivers flow thru the deep
wish upon a silver waning moon
for a chance, for a change
life just seems to slip away
i should dream for you and me
sing, for the soft those lost
darkened mines, scratching schemes
pleading shale, sacred guide
god grows in glowing souls
wish upon a silver waning moon
for a chance, for a change
life just seems to slip away
i should dream for you and me

The Silent Thoughts
04:55

the silent thoughts
open your heart to me
to stay warm
all i need is you
in the night i've been colder than you know
all alone,
does it show?
right or wrong
fate, she demands
life i just can't give
to take this chance
i'm waiting for you
right or wrong
close down for the night
come home to me
all i want
is you
in all my dreams
lead me down to a road that you've known
cause it's you, yeah, it's you
right or wrong
fate, she demands
life i just can't give
to take this chance
i'm waiting for you
right or wrong
let me in, won't you let me in
the love locked, in your heart
let me in
to you
my vacant choice
my aching voice
and all the pull-me-outs bring me down
but when i'm with you
i feel warm
i feel so warm
i feel warm
i feel so warm
i feel so warm
i feel so warm
with you
