The Man Within

There's the one I know,
With a voice as near to music,
As any voice I've ever heard now, except for yours.

You will never find a man,
Who will love you for anything,
But a bare unfilled-in outline of your soul.

Have you noticed how, in the middle of a storm,
There's always a moment of silence.
And it goes on and on,
It goes on and on and on and on and on and on.

So if you're looking for someone,
Try the man within.
If you're looking for someone,
End where you begin,
And try,
The man within.

(Inspired by the novel of the same name by Graham Greene)

On My Own

Breathe the air I need to breathe. Leave the town I need to leave. Give the things I wanted to receive. Wake the things that hurt the most. Search for you from coast to coast.

Beneath A Silver Sky

Cast your mind away from where you’re standing. Bring it back to where you don’t belong. Find a mix of sense and understanding. Look yourself in the eye and tell me that you’re not wrong.

Mind Over Matter

If I in heart and I in mind. Go swiftly through the trees. And I in heart and I in mind. Let bracken snap and birds scree,. If I in heart and I in mind. Follow Sense's plea,.

Something New

I wonder who I am,. And I know it,. I wonder what we are,. Then I know it,. I see a little spark,. Circling between us,. A tranquil arc,. That just sticks,. To rock us together,.

Summer Suns

You breathe it in and breathe it out, And then you stop. The lights go out. So, paint a dream, but paint it thin, For life is not, What it seems. This is all you've got left in life today.

Realise

I don’t think you fully understand what I’ve been saying, I guess I waste my time. And all the games that life has had me playing make me wonder how to reap back time.
