Lets dance on the world

Lets dance on the world,
For here I am King.
Below me lies reality,
And all the King's men.

I am the tamer of your lion heart,
In this castle in the air.
Your eyes are only for me,
Giving me a reason to believe.

Drifting so calm in the dark,
The devil and I are friends.
The only sense I ever made,
Was in the middle of this perfect trance.

Lets hold hands and swim forever,
Under the glory of a marble sky.
I will hold this perfect disguise,
So you will love me so.

The burst of a bubble,
Takes away my crown.
No longer inside a rainbow,
Silence is my sound.

She loves me not here,
As I do not exist.
And now can she leave me,
Since I was never King.

Regretfully open my eyes,
I miss being King.
Tying me down is reality,
I am just a King's man.

All I am is a daydreamer

I whistled a soft tune,
With this smile on my face.
Times were simpler yesterday,
Before you were long gone.

There were cloudless days,
Golden sands.
Every night oh every night,
Every night no end.

Though today along came winter,
This sad wolf howls at the moon.
Gone is my motivation,
Gone has my muse.

Alone I am too weak,
And I start to cry.
When the sun sets in the west,
Who will be there to stop the tears?

I write this ghost story,
Bold memories on my mind.
I'm not too good at being alone,
Your kisses are my home.

Whispers in the tall grass,
My train of thought is scrambled.
How will I ever become a man,
When all I am is a daydreamer?

Wishing I wishing I,
Wishing on a wave.
A dandelion in yesterday's breeze,
Bringing me to your lips.

Here lies the lonely poet,
This sad wolf.
All I am is a daydreamer,
A dandelion in yesterday's breeze.

Waiting Takes A Lifetime

Waiting takes a lifetime,
A lifetime too long for me.
As these lights are much too bright,
The seasons change in my heart.

The flowers start to fall asleep,
A beating heart will slow.
The living stripped of such gentle life,
And I don't know what to feel.

I age like winter,
Careless I stand to suffer.
Everything around me loses its beauty,
The forgotten turn fragile and blue.

Making eyes across the room,
Kiss me in the house of regret.
I cannot just run away,
It's too cold for goodbye.

An Arctic stare,
A numb sweet kiss.
A crisp question of faith,
This winter is my answer.

In the arms of sacrifice,
I will not wake tonight.
Waiting for a lifetime,
A lifetime too long for me.

Outro

Rise up yellow,
Glisten my sun.
Fall so sudden black,
Empty inside.

I am the lost kid,
I shall trek your heart.
If I do not return by nightfall,
This astronaut found eternal grace.

I am dying to believe you're out there,
Perhaps behind the moon?
Oxygen is my ticket to feeling alive,
But why can I not breathe?

Inked heart and an day dream,
Echoes throughout the woods.
The big bad wolf will not get me,
I will be riding alone tonight.

In the depth of my disguise,
I appear hollowed out by back luck.
Imagining that you begged for me,
Yet this funeral will keep us apart.

The sky bled brightly,
A wound in the clouds.
No longer a spaceman,
I will see you with the lights off.

Fight against the grey

A room full of spoilt dreams,
A man with candles for eyes sits.
They say all you need is luck,
They lied.

The illumination is the only thing keeping him alive,
As he fights against the ever present grey.
The light in his glance is overcome,
By the poison black in his heart.

Struggling to remember what she did,
The lack of her presence.
The lack of her love,
The lack of her.

The lights die,
The candles blown out.
A room full of spoilt dreams,
A man sits.

Another year falls off the calendar,
A haunted man forgets to shave.
Respect the wishes,
Respect the dead.

Scenes from an airport bar

I'm leaving baby,
I'm leaving today.
I'll finish my gin and tonic,
Then I am on my way.

Teach me to be a king,
The world is my oyster.
On a silver bird,
I kiss blue skies.

It's just another day,
The same faces.
Gathered suits,
empty glasses.

Take me away,
I need to do this.
To find myself,
Speaking a language of independence.

Our lips touch so softly,
Words are worthless.
Teary eyes and running make-up,
Happiness with a side of sadness.

It's closing time,
It's been a busy day.
Take my hand and whisper,
You know there's always tomorrow.

Stopping Time

I find myself here thinking,
About stopping time.
Stopping it for good,
And live within the stars.

I am too scared of failure,
Too scared to dream.
I only have nightmares,
Success is not my story.

On the edge of this rock,
I contemplate infinity.
This river so picturesque,
The beauty of the world below.

Walking alone,
In the dark.
Singing by myself,
That there is no hope.

There is no hope,
I spent it all on you.
Throwing stones,
For a better beating heart.

The uninspired poet

Wake me up, heart.
Wake me up.
Inspire me colour,
Inspire me.

Agonising sleepless nights,
Light give me strength.
Though I am the in-between,
Monochrome heart.

Silence once golden,
Now bothersome terror.
Memories from across the shore,
Making an ocean of difference.

Follow me gently, love.
I am a raging tide.
The uninspired poet,
Searching for faith.

A shadow closes down on me,
A claustrophobic mind.
With a tear shed,
Farewell a piece of light.

Wake me up, heart.
Wake me up.
Inspire me colour,
Inspire me.

Myself

A drink,
A smoke.
A kiss,
Who have I become?

The lights,
The music.
The red dress,
Who have I become?

I loved her,
I love her.
Not tonight,
Not tonight.

The red dress,
Perfect breasts.
One kiss on the lips,
Forever a regret.

The music played loud,
The lights so bright.
I couldn't stop shaking.
Self-loathe.

I hate myself,
I hate myself.
I hate myself,
I hate myself.

The night wasted away,
Uncontainable shakes.
I am nothing short of ugly,
Self-loathe.

Maybe a bullet to the chest?
Or perhaps never to be seen again?
I am nothing short of a monster,
Self-loathe.

Forgiveness I do not deserve,
Forgiveness I shall not seek.
I am nothing short of pathetic,
Self-loathe.
