Quaking in their boots, there is a battle ahead
We haven’t stepped back into our shadows yet
The crops are rising, the hunger is fed
On the hills is where we have met

Shouting my name, hearing the calls
It’s a pain that only you can feel
Their hope is something that falls
Inside their coffins, the will kneel

Honesty is lost to the translations erased
Question the advertisements that fill our faces
Convenience is the life that is traced
One day there will be no more spaces

Quote the past for its innocence
Believe the tradition that keeps us apart
Life is not true, it is an essence
A second to see where we can start

Every section is placed here for us to see
Special feelings are misplaced in my eyes
Accept this situation that has set you free
It may not be what you want, but you know he dies

Revolt & curse, there isn’t a life in this world
Catch a breath, if only for a second
These eyes are crazed as they swirled
They scream and shout, their voices beckoned

Crisis is conformity, we’re distrusted in our own selves
I don’t recognise the place we’ve found
One step inside and the grim stacked shelves
We sit together and feast upon the ground

I can’t accept the picture they have painted
I know you feel the same
The happiness they advertise is tainted
Our fingers are lightning as we point the blame

Eden isn’t a garden, instead it is a farm
The lie isn’t black and white anymore
Now the masses are hearing the alarm
Our fight has been brought to the fore

Swooned by the grace of its presence
The rise felt just as the set
Magical to behold, impossible to retain
The moment is all but brief

Sometimes there is no word
Drawn to action
Listen closely, never heard
Withstand this longing attraction

It’s not that love isn’t here
Without it there would be no beginning
Feel a smile, shed a tear
Now without there is but one end

Cautious tales that grown-ups tell
Distant memories fade like ash
Feelings brewing, strong they swell
Head first into reality they crash

That moment is not forever
Yet we remember it everyday
Close your eyes and wait patiently
This love is one that’s meant to stay

We give life to our love
Risen from the heart inside
Perfectly formed, fits like a glove
Like balloons floating, string tied

We do not choose this feeling
But feel it we must
Sometimes it can leave us reeling
Always we have to trust

Given the chance to fly
Break away from the troubled
Inside our hearts never die
This feeling has all but doubled

Blink and you’d miss the chance
Walk on & without a trace
The stale moment turns to dance
In that heart will remain a space

We’re not so different you & I
Long thought over the joy of feeling
You shed a tear, together we cry
Life to our love, happy & dreaming

If happiness looks like this, then I don’t want to leave
It’s been so long since I walked this line
I never thought it possible, now I believe
I waited so long, now it’s my time

Crying for perfection, days turned to years
How could this feeling be so distant?
Hidden behind anger, fight back the tears
Every shred of hopelessness, gone in an instant

Questions now have an answer
Purpose is no longer the running man
This is what I wanted, always her
I won’t do it, like last time I ran

There is so much a good thing
Hold her tight till she smiles
You’ve heard the song they sing
The sound travels over the miles

You never knew this would come
She wasn’t the one, she is here now
Settle here & know it’s done
Look above & always wonder how

Our minds are not to be trusted
We are built with hammer and nail
The good shined and the bad rusted
What we think, it is a betrayal

What we forget we hope to remember
What we remember we hope to forgive
There is only one thing and that is her
The only one thing I know I can’t outlive

Haunting and hovering above like a cloud
Forever visible but impossible to touch
My heart is tied my soul is bound
All I long for is to hold you, an impossible clutch

I can’t feel this anymore, it kills the hope
I rifle, claw through the ashes, but still no luck
Why does is it so impossible to cope?
The overseer arrives and into my head pluck

Wasting away into a hollow vessel
Memory has become malice
I struggle with the feeling, a wrestle
But all I can do is drink from this poison chalice

There are systems in place
Enter and exit next to each other
The world moves at its own pace
Something you long to discover

Black and white are everywhere
Numbers ascend in order
The blank look turns to a glare
Through the door enters a marauder

We lived in complete bliss
Section by section we exact
But now every step is a miss
He has come and now to extract

The cracks begin to expose
Paints awash our walls
His words you must enclose
All we hear are the cries and calls

Sometimes we can’t have perfection
There isn’t meaning or thought
Lay down, start again with resurrection
Maybe next time we won’t be caught
