A Prize

Used to Think it was the wrong time
How long, how long should it take?
I’ve waited for a long time
Expecting something great
It’s not as if it’s a prize
I’m not looking for a reward
Staying up all night
You excited, me bored
What if it was true
What if it was undeniable
What if it was true
I believe everything you say
I’ll do what you want me to
I’ll go against all advice
Every day, just stay, just stay, just stay
It’s not as if you’re surprised
You haven’t said a single word
Always ready for the fight
Always so self-assured

Hug

Beautiful rooms
I call it home
Room covered in dust
Locks eaten by rust
Private world
Familiar things
Morning takes
What the evening brings
I don't step outside this door
Nothing there for me anymore
Dressed in my finest clothes
Everything will decompose
I'm not ready to greet
Just say I'm out
Don't want to meet
Don't want the doubt
Outside world
Frail bones
Secrets whisper
Eat alone
Chorus
Failing sight
That's alright

Throw It On The Fire

Throw It On The Fire, throw it on the fire
We can take turns, to see if it burns
If we pull it from the ashes then we'll know for sure
Throw it on the fire, throw it on the fire
Let it burn all night, we can sleep beside the light
You know that we can take turns to see how it burns
I can see it burning in the flames
Your hand-writing, our two names
The unembellished story
A hard lesson for me
Throw it on the fire, throw it on the fire
I don’t know what I want, there’s nothing else we can do
So let it burn all night, we can sleep beside its light
Throw it on the fire

No Better Way To Cry

Come sit, I'll stand
When you look away, I'll hold your hand
Tell me your story before we pull out of the station
Every detail, no need for explanation
Don't leave and don't leave anything out
We'll piece it together so I know what it's about
I can be important to you, like a kind of narrator
Word of mouth turned into legend later
When you’ve given away everything you own
Everything's gone now you’re leaving home
Nothing to hand except a love that will not die
So you’ll cry like a baby, theres no better way to cry
I showed your photo, the man said they all look the same
But I was persistent so I showed him again
I left posters on walls, with a number for you to phone
If there's one thing I know, it's that you don't like being alone
And then he told me that he saw you one night
Walking away along that pathway on the right
With a look on your face that said you won't be back
But I knew he was only trying to put me off your track

Leave A Gentle Wake

The sky isn't dark, the ground doesn't shake
My back to the bow. Each stroke I take
Leaves behind a gentle wake.
Only a ghost to chase
Cold light on your mirror lake
As I leave behind a gentle wake
