I love the machine
The one that speaks to me
It brings me joy
It's a brand new toy
It's a journey for me
It's discovery for me
I'm slumped in the kitchen
As I cook another meal for two
And you won't be joining time
This time I'm forced to understand
And all the energy and all the lust
And all the quiet disgust
Has made its way inside of me
This is the place where your head used to lay
This is the hay
I paid you many times
Over and over I'd say
Not just money
But all my love
I paid for you with blood and guts
And poetry, poetry, endless poetry
If I knew what I know now
I never would have climbed so high
To you my love
If I knew what I know now
No I never would have climbed so high
For you my love
This is the place where your head used to lie
In the hay

I'm not exactly Marc Bolan I know
But I'd still like you to listen to me anyway
Gotta get this story off my chest
Now there's no one left to impress
Spent all my life being told how to feel
Now I'm lonely as hell
Wondering how I should feel
No one has the time to ask you anything
When a conversation is one way
It's always that kind of thing
Spent all my life being told how to feel
Now I'm lonely as hell
Wondering how I should feel
Like to keep my head low
Just as low as it will go
Spent all my time, all of my life
Being told how to feel
Now I'm lonely as hell
Wondering how I should feel

Stoop Again

Fuck you old friend
Don't ask me to stoop again
You never listened to me anyway
Now your plane is gonna land
Just as mine is gonna fly
Now your plane is gonna crash
And I guess you will die
For the 22nd time
Don't ask me to do the things I did, again
Don't ask me to stoop again
Old friend

Never a true word spoken
Never a promise kept
I will never see your face again
And it's hard for me
To get this head around
I thought I'd never cry
And now it's here that lie
Watching Netflix and drinking tea
Trying to be nice to me
And my mind takes a tumble
And my mind takes a dive
I wrote this when you were still alive
And although I really knew
There was nothing I could do
To please that brick inside of you
I wrote it down anyway
Just to see if something I could do
Could help me to believe
You might like it to

In the interest of balance
Let's talk to all the fools
Give 'em all a gun
But don't teach them how to use it
Look at me I'm trying so hard
Just to get a drop of sympathy
Hit me with some brown stuff
With my beer
I can't afford to miss another chance
To take you down
Yeah things ain't looking good for you
Life has gone from weird to bad to worse
To just can't face it anymore
We overtook you the minute you started
To keep the score
Don't blame it on your luck
Just remind yourself how it ran out
I want you to be sure of this
Like nothing else before

Walk Through Darkness
07:32
|

And the dream I had is gone
We walk through darkness now
I followed you
My memory is dark and hollow somehow
I still have the darkness chasing me
And you are all I have
There is no more outside of you
Nothing to yearn for
As the fire burns out
The cold takes hold of me
And the forest surrounds me
With all the things which chase me down
And I hear the sound of you
It wears me out
Eternally
Are you with me
Will help me to breathe
Will you guide me through?
Don't turn my love away
You are all
You are each and everything
That means something to me
I have tried and I have fled
But I never could believe
That I ever failed
Don't turn your love away from me
I am locked inside
The darkest moment has arrived
I am shrouded in the veil of what went before
You have left me believing
I should not believe you anymore
Don't turn your love away from me
Don't turn your love away
We walk through darkness
Yeah we walk through darkness now

Gold Sounds
06:05

Confiscate my feelings
Hold me back why don't you
Misery is a middle name you must learn
To give yourself
And I am awake now
The murders I commit are left behind
The terror I have felt has escaped
And fled and slipped away
And I can hear the sound of gold ringing loud and clear
Yeah I can hear the sound of gold ringing loud and clear
It passed us by
And left us in tears
You are winner son
I am the one who made it so
I am the one who lurks in you
I am the one who hangs above
Your heartless body
As it begs to gain control
And I can hear the sound of gold ringing loud and clear
Loud and clear
Yeah I can hear the sound of gold ringing loud and clear
In my ear

The Deep Sea
07:00
|

Flutter inside of me
Irregular and singular
And older each day, each day
Beat so soft
Beat so hard and as long as the day
The day is long, this day
Today and everyday
A single day or two or three
It beats inside, deep inside of me
Like the sea, it's endless sometimes
Cold and dark and beautiful
You pushed me hard
Now you are gone
Like the sea
Just like the sea
Dark and eerie and full of mystery
You're here then gone
It won't be long
All we have is here and then it's gone
Like the sea
Now there is little mystery apart from
Deep deep down below
Where on the most hardy explorers go
To light up the black and bring it home
Bring it back home.
