running wild

there's a feeling inside me
deep deep down inside
i don’t know how to hide it
i don’t know where to go

and it burns burns burns
and it makes me climb the walls
there's a tigress hunting
locked inside these halls

chorus
she's running in circles
she's running wild

the cages are burning
she's leaching out
the locks are broken
someone will get hurt

and she's killing fast
when she finds her prey
she's just locked back in
its never enough

chorus

and when she's done
i wake again
i’m me again
i’m lost again


the bluest hour

the bluest hour has never been my friend
it's a place where people go
I got shellfish growing on my hand
the colours permeate my dreams

and at times i can never tell 
if I’m wrong or if im right
you just act out what i feel but dare not say
I’m just milk spilt on the floor

chorus: 
save me from myself
shave me off your skin
tie me to a wall
paint me on the floor

i’m nowhere and it feels like home
it's a place where people go
the colours grow like a tangerine dream
the biggest drug is taking risk

and at times i suspect that i
I’m a prisoner of myself
I’m erased as i watch myself
I’m just what i do right now

chorus: 
peel me like a grape
clear me from my skin
put me back in place
leave me while you can

chorus: 
save me from myself
shave me off your skin
tie me to a wall
paint me on the floor


fire at the bottom of the ocean

it’s a journey to myself and im trying to get there first
it’s a journey through your eyes
and it’s really not my first
it’s just my heart that i should keep
i need a heart i do
what would i do without

chorus:
and i jump into oceans and dive down to the ground
and i burn like fire it’s the wind that spreads me round
and its fire at the bottom of the ocean
fire at the bottom of my heart

i need to recognise the pain to learn and i learn fast
i get back up again and hold my head up in thirst
i wanna know the shadows that hold me on the ground
i wanna know the clouds that are made of shadows doubt

chorus​
it’s a will that has been broken
and a will to learn the truth
I should sing or I shouldn’t
who knows what I should do
I feel like rivers and nights rolled into one
I curse and I laugh, its just me that I got
 
what will it be

far as i know i lived my life
like a child that never cries
like a bird with broken wings
like a bird that never sings

looking for dreams that cannot last
can it be love if it’s too fast
confusion knows what i don’t know
and if i go what will i know

chorus: 
is it heaven is it hell
what it is no one can tell
is it you or is it me
what will it be

and now you look at me and sigh
and i will never find out why
if you don't tell me what you feel
if you don't dare to be real

will you love me as i am 
or will you leave me where i stand
will you feel for me the same
if you do just say my name

chorus

and the moment that we fall 
is the moment that we tell
our story once again
to a stranger we don’t know

there's no wrong and there's no right
just the sadness in your eyes
just the longing in our songs
just our longing to belong

the inner sea

sitting here with my broken dreams
and empty hands
gonna tear down them
stone built walls
and be myself
let them fall
let them fall
retreated to my inner most
i can’t believe
there’s nothing i could possibly ever see
it’s only me
inside of me
the inner sea
gonna be courageous and take the last step
to fall into my life
stain glass windows
castles in the air
i’ve dumped them all
let them fall
let them fall
there’s nothing i could possibly ever see
it’s only me
inside of me
the inner sea

dark butterfly 

melodies move between us
rhythms rise and fall
the songs have always been there
and some will stay

i dreamed i opened up a door that said forbidden
i fell five floors down and woke in your arms

chorus:
poison me dark butterfly
in the morning i'll rise

if you're lonely you'll tell the paper
or just your guitar
if you're unsure of the key
you just sing your lines

i dreamed i kissed slowly
unsure of who i am
we talked in different tongues
and missed the kiss mid air

chorus
we seek each other like flowers seek the light
you're a cloud in my sky
im a wave on your sea

you move inside me
like lovers move
at least in my story 
at least in my song 



you and me

you and me, babe
are like flowers
we radiate when we're in bloom

you and me, babe
are like poems
a black and white
photograph at night

your laughter resonates across the continents
you sing beauty is made of love
as we sleep

i thought you were a strange cat when we first met
but strange is who we are in the end

you and me, babe
are like rhythms
it doesn’t matter if we're out of sync

you and me, babe
are a tune that's a little odd
one i cannot lose though i try

it doesn’t matter when or where we meet again
you'll always be a song that i will sing

in the bigger picture where we spin the earth
we're all one and we are all the same

you and me, babe
on the wire
you can hear us in the air tonight

tears of mine


out under blue skies
you cover me gently
Italian nights with hints of mint

i look at you blindly
im hasty at showing myself
i saw in your eyes those tears of mine

chorus:
tears of mine
forever ago
i'll trade them in for tears of yours

the stars above us
are nothing but silence
they're softly spoken dreams we share

this time i won’t fall
no no i won’t fall
I’d just fill your eyes with tears of mine

chorus 2:
tears of yours
forever ago
i'll trade them in for tears of mine
​
free climbers

jumping's always the first thing on my mind
i jump off the rooftop my guitar in my hand
and i emerge again from the waterfall
and i climb back up for another fall
don’t worry don’t worry about me
this is where I wanna be right now

though the water falls off the water walls
we're free climbers of love

close your eyes and hold my hand
and join me in the air
close your eyes and jump with me
i promise i'll be there
and we emerge again from the waterfall
and we climb back up for another fall
don’t worry don’t worry about us
this is where we wanna be right now

though the water falls off the water walls 
we're free climbers of love


sublimely mad

​
i’ve been high, I’ve been low, I’ve been that
i’ve taken a step out ahead
i've been down to the ground of the deepest blue sea
i got rid of the chains that've been laid upon me
the lover who fled from my bed
has been me
has been you
has been sad
i’m a lover who walks out the door
i’m a lover who sleeps on the floor

chorus:
i'm exciting and inviting
i'm crazy and i'm bad
i've been lovely, i've been hiding
i’ve been lonely, i've been sad
and just a little bit
sublimely mad


you're strange and familiar as well
you're a stranger whose fate i can tell
you're a stranger whose stories are ones i know well
you're a stranger into whose arms i once fell


chorus:
you're exciting and inviting
you're crazy and you're bad
you've been lovely, you've been hiding
you've been lonely, you've been sad
and just a little bit
sublimely mad


 we have nothing to fear but ourselves
we have nothing to lose but our shells
we have nothing to gain but the crown of the sea
we have nothing to win but the wind in the trees
