1. PAINT

Paint the wood a lighter colour
Open curtains bring in the flowers
Bats may hide in darkened corners
No excuse to shade this drawing

Streaks of red sink into the sky
Patches of ink have bled and dry
Smear the black along the bottom
Sign your name and wait for morning

Would you die in a bass note
If I played you
Would you run out of ink
If I wrote too soon
Would you shiver inside
If I hold you
Would you die in a bass note


2. DO YOU KNOW

Winter sunshine casting down
These lukewarm rays
Not strong enough
To dilute
These freezing cold days
Of confusion and
Window panes

Thats not easy to resolve
In simple ways

Do you remember
Do you know what im here for
Do you know how to treat me
Cos i dont think you do

Do you know what i need from you
Do you know what i need from you

Its so easy for you
To walk away
From this situation
You have made
Nothing seems to bother you

Although i presume too soon
This is just my point of view
However skewed

And know youre praying for the storm
To kill your conscience
But the lightning only strikes you down

A thunderclap rolls by
You never wondered why

You never knew my secret
That i would turn out better
Than you will ever be
Than you will ever see me

4. POCKETS FOR SOCKETS

Trusting this
Depending on that
Every little thing
Seems too big to attack

Holding on
To this fragile web
Of shadows and words
Best left unsaid

Too afraid to talk
Too afraid to say
These reactions you can't contain

For too long youve hidden away
From your self
From your help
Now its over
Now its done
Now its too late to run

Backed into a corner
You look away
Too scared to face this mirror
Because theres no change

In your pockets
In your sockets
Theyre as empty as you are
Theyre as deep as you feel you
Fell again

From this height of which you
Can't come down
