And now, nothing
Silence born of bitterness
Heart beats. Pointlessly
Just to keep a man alive
Mind whirling straining at the leash
Fingers drumming
Aching for release
Void and null
An ex kind of life
Staring at the future
Balanced on a knife

A schizophrenic you will be a friend not there once said to me convinced we were that he was right until I changed my mind.
so what the hell is sane? I said to the universe inside my head supported by a king size bed they yawn, I fell sleep

I need a road less travelled
A book that’s been seldom read
A river not crossed too often
White sheets on a brand new bed

There’s a past in every heart
Memories and pain
And scars of the soul
And sorrow unexplained

The journey ahead will be strange and unknown
But the love that we carry will be smooth as a stone

So turn your head to me babe
And smile that winning smile
I’m never gonna let you fall girl
We’re doing this in style
I’d be the first to tell them that
It hasn’t been a breeze
But I’ve never been so sure of the love you show to me.

(I want your hand in mine as our eyes see the new
Your arms round my waist holding on like you do

So turn your head to me babe
And smile that winning smile
I’m never gonna let you fall girl
We’re doing this in style
I’d be the first to tell them that
It hasn’t been a breeze
But I’ve never been so sure of the love you show to me.

‘Sometimes, someone kisses you in such a way as could save your life.
Only sometimes though.
Not nearly often enough.
But sometimes, sometimes is all you need’

8 minutes is how long the warmth of her takes to reach us
8 minutes to stop us dying in a frozen hell
She doesn’t know or care
She won’t always be there
And without her, we’d be gone too
But the chase for her goes on and on

You are 8 minutes from me know
8 minutes it would take me to be at your side
But you don’t know or care
So I’m here alone
And cold

8 minutes from the warmth I need
A 1000 nights from the sleep I need
A lifetime away from the love I need

‘Sitting on a shooting star as it dies away.
The passion was  too hot, could help but burn it out.
Left cold and alone
And there’s nothing I can say
Gotta face the emptiness ahead
And make it thru the day’

She’s all that I desire
All I’ll ever need
But I held her tighter than I should
If there’s a way back
Lord won’t you show me how
Cos I’ve killed our love
And killed myself
What’s left for me now

If she reached out her heart and let me in
I’d show her who I am
A scared and lonely, frightened boy
Just trying to be a man

All I have, she’s given me
My soul she saved, enlightened me.
The heart I thought was lost for good
She somehow brought to life
She’s loved me more than I deserved
Pulled me out of night.
