My Rush

You are my rush
You are my tortured dreams
You are my fear come running on a busted knee
You’re a life raft I cling onto
I’ll keep an eye on the bottom
And my arms around you
You are the current that I can’t escape
Draw me down into your depths,
Down to your depths
A storm coming trying to throw me back
You’re the angel’s voice ringing
And the Devil in the trap
The hunter’s game and a lover’s song
You’re a hand on the trigger
And a whisper in my ear
And with a glance you turn my organs to stone
Draw your eyes over my body
Let you pick me apart, let me be the toy that you can't leave alone
I'm not the man you've been looking for
I'm not the hero, just a stranger knocking at your door
You are the water swirling ‘round my feet
You’re a knife-edge that cuts to a steady beat
You are the current that I can’t escape
Draw me down, draw me down, draw me down
To your depths
A storm coming trying to throw me back
You’re the angel’s voice ringing
And the Devil in the trap
The hunter’s game and a lover’s song
You’re a hand on the trigger
And a whisper in my ear

So, you’ve been hiding
You’ve been hiding that secret under your shirt collar
You can’t breathe easy
So if he finds it
That you’re hiding that secret under your shirt collar
You can’t breathe easy
When you have to, you’ll find
When you have to, you’ll show it
Forever leaves behind
Forever is not knowing
Fearing is a feeling of mine
And everybody’s doing their time
Those shadows creeping up from behind
Are calling out your name
So, soldiers
You’ve been hiding that secret under your shirt collars
You both breathe easy
So, he found you out
Feel the cold, leaving you no doubt
Fearing is a feeling of mine
And everybody’s doing their time
Those shadows creeping up from behind
Are calling out your name
Let the words fall
Been in her head for too long
These words fall
He’s been keeping it inside for so long
Let the words fall (found you out)
Been in her head for too long (feel the cold)
These words fall
He’s been keeping it inside for so long
When you have to, you’ll find
When you have to, you’ll show it
Forever leaves behind
Forever is not knowing
When you have to, you’ll find
When you have to, you’ll show it
Forever leaves behind
Forever is not knowing

The morning leads me over to my window
The air feels sharp against my skin
Am I leaning out or the outside leaning in
I wonder as I listen to the wind blow
People walk past in the streets
A city that I will never meet
People in their cars and their cars in the streets
The streets in the city where I sleep
Walk down to the supermarket
Milk and bread in my basket
Chocolate on the shelf and my mind on the docket
I’m a slave to the change that’s in my pocket
Planes drawing lines in the skies
Beautiful people fill my eyes
Drawing lines now to my own conclusions
Beauty is desire in disguise
The morning leads me over to my window
The air feels sharp against my skin
Am I leaning out or the outside leaning in
I wonder as I listen to the wind blow

I’d believe whatever comes
And rub the dirt into the cuts
And show them off to cheer you up
To say that I’m not passed away
There’s no love in the ground for me
So I kicked all this earth downstream
And lay beside where you would lay
And eat the thoughts we had of us
If there’s big blood inside your room
I hope it finds and brings you back
I’m a hundred different pieces, a million reasons, in a single knot
You’re the feat of engineering, the sunlight, give me all you’ve got
There’s no love in the ground for me
So I kicked all this earth downstream
I’m just having a hard, hard time yeah
I’m living without you here
There’s no love in the ground for me
So I kicked all this earth downstream
I’m just having a hard, hard time yeah
Just living without you here

In my mind
You will find
I’m no hero
All to fear
Is where my love goes
In my mind, you will find
In my mind, ones and zeros
In my mind
You’re all I see
All I think of
All I hope for
(In my mind) I got nothing but a feeling
(In my mind) I always say what I’m feeling
(In my mind) I am only what I’m feeling
Needing somebody isn’t ever something that I would say, I would say
Until one day I saw you walking my way
It’s for my broken ears
It’s for my bleeding heart
It’s for the voices inside my head
For the voices that tear me apart
But in my mind
But in my mind
I’m a fighter
I’m the fight
I’m the bleeding
I’m the fuel left to ignite
(In my mind) I got nothing but a feeling
(In my mind) I always say what I’m feeling
(In my mind) I am only what I’m feeling
Needing somebody isn’t ever something that I would say, I would say
Until one day I saw you walking my way
It’s for my broken ears
It’s for my bleeding heart
It’s for the voices inside my head
For the voices that tear
Needing somebody isn’t ever something that I would say, I would say
Until one day I saw you walking my way
It’s for my broken ears
It’s for my bleeding heart
It’s for the voices inside my head
For the voices that tear me apart

We’re all broke down
We’re all broke
Baby, we’re all broken down
We’ll wait for time to turn us around
We can’t back down (we can’t back down)
Imagine, everybody hanging around
Everybody hanging around
Forget me like a cheap line amongst the pages
I’ll remember you, let your melody ring out through the ages
I’m not the child on your back seat crawling around
So stand up, be the myth when you can’t be the man
You know the sound (you know the sound)
You hear the sound
It kills you a little more inside every time
But for tonight we’ll be all right
Meet me up town (meet me uptown)
For one drink, tell me why you’re feeling down
Tell me why you’re feeling down
I get you, from my feet up to my fingertips
And I’ll let you put your hands on me as I move my hips
And I’ll hurt too as you fall down, down to the ground
We’ll be the dance, and we’ll be just some people fooling around
Forget me like a cheap line amongst the pages
I’ll remember you, let your melody ring out through the ages
I’m not the child on your back seat crawling around
So stand up, be the myth when you can’t be the man

Blood pt. 2

Open your eyes, this is a ballad without the reprise
An old wisdom lurking without the disguise
Wake you up now ‘cos it was just a dream you were sleeping my dear
Fighting your way through your love and your fears
And everything that’s in between
Don’t tell me now, that lovers are meant to resist love somehow
That goodbye’s the letter we’ll never compose
That fortune does favour the strong and the brave
I am neither of those
Some days I feel like I am just a slave
Clicking my fingers and tapping my toes
And wishing you were here
But don’t tell me, my love
We never had the time
A rhythm without rhyme
But you’re the song that’s on my mind
And in my head I’m felling forests, I’m breaking down walls
Heart of the soldier but lacking the cause
A warrior’s will and a pen in my hand but no words in my head
Fooling around with my guitar instead
‘Cos all I can think of is you
You, you, you
But don’t tell me, my love
We never had the time
A rhythm without rhyme
But you’re the song that’s on my mind
But don’t tell me, my love
We never had the time
A rhythm without rhyme
But you’re the song that’s on my mind
The song that’s on my mind
The song that’s on my mind

God can promise a safe landing
But can’t promise a steady voyage
Oh my son, what do you hear?
Why does your heart take you into the night?
Listen as we cry ourselves, we cry ourselves to sleep
We haven’t slept for days, we haven’t slept a wink
Our boy is somewhere else, our boy is somewhere else
He does the devil’s work, he sings his praises week by week but
God can promise a safe landing
But can’t promise a steady voyage
O’er the hills and into the depths
And from the depths the devil leapt
He clung onto the landing gear
And drove us toward eternal fear
In my dreams we’re falling, ducking, spinning, diving
Life; it isn’t living when it’s just surviving
Hope isn’t worth hoping for when all we have is falling from the sky

You have had a better run of days
But you light me up as the sun begins to fade
You and I both
Counting on hope
You don’t know how much, how hard I try
But you have seen the hurt behind these eyes
Lend me your hand, your heart
Oh my blood, you made it just like water
My savior come and hold me like you ought to
Oh these trembling fingers, the singers of a nervous heart
If love is for beginners let it win us a new start
You call me now
Oh my blood you made it just like water
My savior come and hold me like you ought to
