I’ve lost my sense of gravity, lost every shred of patience
My head’s spinning one way and the Earth the other
The only gravity I understand is that of the situation
Doomed to the darkness, the fate of a broken mother
Hope lives on, too strong to die,
Or maybe I just won’t let it?
If I let go I’d do nothing but cry,
And people would surely forget it.
But how can I let that happen,
When my baby was taken from me,
And I’m still searching for answers,
Without which I’ll never be free?
Did you need to strike out on your own?
Did you have the help of a friend?
Should we be raising exposure?
Questions remain in this gaping black hole
That ruptured through my empty soul.
What happened, where did you go?
And how did your story end?
Should we be chasing closure?
I’ve lost all shred of sanity, lost my sense of peace
My body is weak but my head and heart still fight
I’m sinking into insanity searching for my missing piece
Doomed to the darkness, lost to the light
Dread seeps in, in the dead of night
Haunted by ghosts and wraiths
It’s a battle to hold on ‘til the morning light
When I try to regain my faith
And then I disappoint myself
For giving in to dismay
And somehow I find the strength
To fight another day
Did you need to strike out on your own?
Did you have the help of a friend?
Should we be raising exposure?
Questions remain in this gaping black hole
That ruptured through my empty soul.
What happened, where did you go?
And how did your story end?
Should we be chasing closure?

She found him in a dumpster
While searching for precious stones
She thought him just a youngster
‘Til she saw his missing bones
She realised at once
That he had been discarded
Abandoned by the ones
He’d fearlessly guarded
For he was a robot, a humanlike android
Commonplace in the future earth
Considered disposable, of feelings devoid
Due to his artificial birth
She took him in and cared for him
They built a life together
She replaced his missing limbs
And swore to leave him never
He no longer had a master
No orders to obey
She taught him love and laughter
The real human way
Over time he slowly learned to trust again
His faith was restored, his heart healed
And though it didn’t beat like normal men
He felt a love so deep it would not yield
And til her dying day he stayed
Forever with his saviour
A lifetime of love and friendship repaid
Memories he’d forever savour
The chance that she had given
Long ago in their past
Broke his algorithm
And set him free at last
He began to walk the earthly lands
Displaying humanity
For he is the last who understands
How good humans could be

Stop! We need a second referendum!
Education on the topic was poor!
Quick! Introduce another addendum!
People don’t know what they were voting for!
What? You’re speaking a load of nonsense.
Anybody with eyes and ears would know,
The media bombardment was constant -
Yet the resounding answer was ‘Let’s go!’
You can’t proceed! The public are conflicted!
I beg to differ, you see I believe -
Any lack of knowledge is self-inflicted,
**** it up will you, we just want to leave!
Alas! It’s not possible you see,
Because the vote didn’t go our way.
Quiet! We’ll have vote number two, or three,
Until it says what we want it to say!
Remainers unite, let’s show them we’ll stay!
Disregard their uneducated opinion!
Brexiteers resist, come what may!
Stand and rebel against their dominion!
Who will win in this pre-planned battle?
Or is it an impasse-perpetual?
Neither side will win as we’re all cattle
Cannon fodder, for the great eventual.

There are so many things that I'd like to say
But I just can't find the words
And even if I could, there aren't enough hours in the day
For all that I want to be heard
It's impossible to condense into words on a page
Just how much you mean
No picture or verse could adequately gauge
All that could have been
I'll try my hardest to express
The joy you brought into our lives
All the love, hope and happiness
I just wish we had more time
But how could I fail to mention
Your beauty is exquisite
Button nose and rosy lips, you're the picture of perfection
And we're so grateful you came to visit
Named for elegance, sophistication and finesse
You're a beauty pure and rare
Spread your wings and reign on our princess
Beneath your crown of fair hair
I like to think you're sleeping, cosy and at ease
And though we'd much rather you were here
We'll take comfort in knowing that you're at peace
Treasured in our thoughts, you're always near
And though these times are painful and bittersweet
We will always remember
November 25th, two thousand and seventeen
When you touched our hearts forever

Dear Tragedy, we meet again.
One day your reign of terror will end.
Why the cruelty, why all the lies?
It's like you build up my hope just to watch it die
Why all the anger, why all the grief?
Can't you see I'm dying, will there be no relief?
Each challenge you bring I rise above
Time and again but it's never enough
Your chaos I'll fight whatever the cost
If only for the sake of those I've lost
You raise the ante with each move you make
But you've taken so much there's no heart left to break
You chisel away until cracks develop
They merge together until fractures envelope
All of my soul, all of my mind
Little of me remains
Bitterness and pain
I'll pay you back in kind
Why the deception, why won't you cease?
Where is my redemption, is there no release?
Why do you haunt me day after day,
And why don't any of my prayers keep you away?
The damage you cause I try to contain
But it's never enough, it's always in vain
I want to fight on but I'm tired inside
For all that I know I've already died
Again the bar's raised, now too much is at stake
Cos now you've taken so much there's no heart left to break
And sometimes I wonder, what have I become?
Is your victory complete now that I am so numb?
None of my soul, none of my mind
Nothing of me remains
But my shell will fight again
I'll pay you back in time
Dear Tragedy, we meet again
One day your reign of terror will end.

If they had their way all they would say
Is ignorance is bliss, save it for another day
They say I
Should let sleeping dogs lie
Tell me I have got nothing to prove
Why don’t I just move on?
Tell me why not let sleeping dogs lie
You’re only gonna cause more pain
Open a can of worms when there’s nothing to gain
But they don’t know that every waking minute
I’m getting closer to reaching my limit
Cos even in my sleep you’re haunting my dreams
Unless I **** the lies I can’t be done with these regimes
Don’t ask why
Even sleeping dogs lie
When they rest on a bed of untruth
Nothing but lies burn through
Let them die, let their sleeping lies die
Cos sleeping isn’t dead and buried
And the lies and the cheating aren’t temporary
And they don’t know that every waking minute
I’m getting closer to reaching my limit
Cos even in my sleep you’re haunting my dreams
It’s time to **** the lies so I can be done with these regimes
It's high time
To let sleeping dogs die
I have got nothing left to lose
I’ve paid all of my dues
Let them die, let those sleeping dogs die
Cos sleeping isn’t dead and buried
When the lies and the cheating aren’t temporary

I heard something today, which took me by surprise
It took me back to a place that I thought I’d left behind
And although it’s hurting I know through searching
I’ll find out for certain what good has surfaced
‘Cos the days of torment past
Have taught me not to look back
‘Cos they turn blue skies overcast
When their storm clouds attack
It does no good to stop and stare
At the past when you’re no longer there,
When you can’t change what’s been and gone
It’s too late to change all that’s been done
You can’t just sit and wait for change
‘Cos you know the past won’t rearrange
Into a picture-perfect scene from the silver screen
So don’t keep holding on to the things that could’ve been
I heard something today, familiar silent cries
It took me back to that place I thought I’d buried inside
And although it’s sore I know for sure
I’ll find out which door leads to the cure
But then I begin questioning
What I thought I had surpassed
Is it all just destiny?
Have the days of torment passed?
It does no good to stop and stare
At the past when you’re no longer there,
When you can’t change what’s been and gone
It’s too late to change all that’s been done
You can’t just sit and wait for change
‘Cos you know the past won’t rearrange
Into a picture-perfect scene from the silver screen
So don’t keep holding on to the things that could’ve been

Darkness is salvation, sweeping through within
Watching my own cremation inside this world of sin
Deliverance is close at hand
Seeing myself fall apart I stand amidst the flames
Like a dagger through my heart I feel all the pain
A sea of red treacle drifts peacefully by
With the blood my pain seeps through, almost like a sieve
Now feelings do not flow in me, I no longer live
The curse has now been lifted
Every drop has now been spilt, no more is left inside
No anger, hatred, pain or guilt, with me that night it died
Nothing left to pull me down
Yet, I felt faithless, lost inside as darkness swept through me
I laid there alone and died, I was no longer free
Steadily, the shadows engulf me
Here in the darkness I now rest, too shallow to be saved
For all eternity suppressed, confined within my grave
Soon, I will consume all that is left
No room to move in this small box, no feeling in my limbs
Held inside with chains and locks, beneath these waves of sin
Life and death have the same origin
I solemnly accept the truth and stare at these four walls
There is no more that I can do held prisoner in Death’s jaws
Without death there can be no life

They tell me it’s the lesser of two evils
But I’m not sure that’s a fact
Sometimes I think it’s best to leave you to your demons
They’ve got you this far in tact
Either way I can’t stop the progression
This deadly routine’s for your own protection
There are no winners here, there’s far too much at stake
Do I stand by and let them feed you to the rattlesnake?
When I know it’s eating you up inside
Like a private supply of cyanide
Going, going, gone
I see you today but who knows where you’ll be tomorrow
Going, going, gone
Slipping through my fingers to a place that I can’t follow
Going, going, gone
Your own private cyanide’s a bitter pill to swallow
Going, going, gone
I know there’ll be times that you will disagree
But just between you and me
When they tell us over again that two’s company
I feel like we are three
But they don’t matter, all my objections
This deadly routine‘s become your obsession
There are no winners here, there’s far too much at stake
Do I stand by and let them feed you to the rattlesnake?
And I know it's killing you from inside
Like a private supply of cyanide
Going, going, gone
I see you today but who knows where you’ll be tomorrow
Going, going, gone
Slipping through my fingers to a place that I can’t follow
Going, going, gone
Your own private cyanide’s a bitter pill to swallow
Going, going, gone
Every day I see you drift further away
And there’s only so much I can pray
I feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place
Soon you’ll disappear without a trace
Going, going, gone

Words can’t describe the way that I feel
When I look into your eyes
I hear your silent cries
Through the stillness calling out for me
To pull you from the void
I want to reach into your soul
Banish your demons, silence your screaming
I just want to make you whole
I wish I that I could see you fly
Spread your wings and soar up high
But to see you is not to see you
Cos something else wears your face
And to be with you is not to be with you
Cos something else shares your place
Words can’t describe all the things I see
When I look into your eyes
I see through your disguise
Into your soul, staring back at me
Through the windows of your cell
Trapped beneath those layers of pain
Screaming for release, drowning in defeat
I just want to break your chains
I wish I that I could see you fly
Spread your wings and soar up high
But to see you is not to see you
Cos something else wears your face
And to be with you is not to be with you
Cos something else shares your place
Words can’t describe how much pain I keep
Hidden deep behind my eyes
The tears that I don’t cry
You don’t see the scars I hide beneath
I just want to set you free
But I know I won’t see you fly
Spread your wings and soar up high
Cos to see you is not to see you
Since something else wears your face
And to be with you is not to be with you
Cos something else shares your place
Soon you’ll lose control, break your oath
No matter how you fight them, can’t always hide them
And when the time comes they’ll **** us both
