Slowly turns the key of time in the lock of promises broken.

Closed eyes
Closed heart
Now baby that ain't much of a start
Some other time
Some other place
And maybe with a prettier face


See me fall down
See me rise up
Drinking just to empty the cup
Whatever this is
Oh baby I've had enough

And nothing's for sure
And nothing's maintained
And nothing's gonna grow to replace
As beauty is made
As beauty is torn down

I lived only through you
My scar, my heart, my truth
I do not want to die
But no more can I love you

like the lover of a demon

I fear your words, the things they mirror
Maybe that is all I am, just a reflection


The Poet and the Painter casting shadows on the water
as the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea.
The do-er and the thinker: no allowance for the other
as the failing light illuminates the mercenary's creed.
The home fire burning: the kettle almost boiling
but the master of the house is far away.
The horses stamping, their warm breath clouding
in the sharp and frosty morning of the day.
And the poet lifts his pen while the soldier sheaths his sword.


There's a haze about the room where we sleep where we lay
And the candles light up softly and our bodies gone away
Your eyes are little windows I get closer till I see
You left them open with a ladder just for me


Oh you're blue, you're blue blue blue

Ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to my life again
Walk with me, every curve, every bend
This promenade that seems to come to an end

Basic humans needs are

No more named Johnny
Ive been standing in the rain since June
I wound up my watch till I broke the springs
Now Ill never have the time for you


Oh you're blue


But it's all ending, the clock's rewinding
We don't mean anything to me. You think?
I killed this silence for us to make things right


Just below the surface


You don't just want to break me, you want to tear me apart

I may make you feel but I can't make you think


No words are needed, only a gaze, embrace
Contact the living, remember the dead


There is no cast, no salvation
When it is broken, it will stay that way
Believe me when I say this
I would not if I did not care

Animal desire


And the love that I feel is so far away
I'm a bad dream that I just had today
and you shake your head and say it's a shame.


Who needs who, when and what the hell for?
Who wants to suffer and be hardcore?
And who's strong enough to peel off the dead skin ?


I can hardly wait to fall down beside you collapse from a night of exhaustion so burning so dirty and true burning so dirty and dirty and true.


Tears don't mean anything
If we don't know when we're sorry

You can be sure I'll never whisper that word
You can be sure I'll never whisper that word
