Stay The Night
Would you stay the night,
Would you stay until I fall asleep,
Make things right,
Make things right until I’m deep,
‘Cause I don’t want to be alone tonight.
We can share the dark,
Shout our secrets to the black,
When things are stark,
And sometimes there’s no looking back.
You and I we can just be,
Together and within,
I’ll hold you close as you hold me,
Make love to drown the din,
And we can keep each other safe,
Until the break of day,
And then life will be just too near,
And we’ll have to part ways,
(Until the next time).

I Did [Alas] Awake
I dreamt I was in love again,
That I had leapt anew,
To sow my heart within the ground,
Where once just hatred grew
She took my hand and we both swam within desires lake
And though I hoped it would not end, I did alas awake
And this visage felt still and warm,
Whilst in her arms I lay.
Come to me my love,
We’ll be forever more,
We’ll follow our own pathways and own laws
And night intruded floral sweet,
And death was kept at bay.

The Bones Of You
(Gently sway)
I waited for you to come around,
But now I wait for you to be underground.
Whoa, I can’t abide you,
Whoa, And I’ll deride you.
I can’t stand the bones of you,
All your morals flown the coup,
I hope that you’ll face the day,
Legs in the air to gently sway.
It’s cruel, I know, but it’s just common sense,
You fool, you liar with a grifter’s pretence.
(Wishful thinking).

Gonna Do
What you gonna do in the end?
When they catch you in the act?
Are you just gonna pretend?
Without any grace or tact.
You are the villain here.
What you gonna do in the end?
When they want their money back?
Will you run away again?
Showing all everything you lack.

The Athiest

The Atheist
The pull of this damn madness grips,
In beats that tap and ring,
And talks to me through smiling lips,
But tells me awful things.
In romance I did once believe
To be the be and all
I took communion and received
The blessing of its call.
And with her claws my leg she grips,
But sweetly softly sings,
About the tears and blood red rips,
Upon my once proud wings.
But now my faith is no more than,
A broken zealots sigh,
For though I say I truly can,
I can’t believe its lie.

Be [Secrets In Llangennith]
Wind whistles across the bay
Sky angry threatens rain,
But we just sit and watch the sea.
Walked miles across the beach,
Far from eyes prying reach,
Where we can simply sit and be.
You take away my fears.
We kissed then talked about hope,
And where our future lies scope,
And where we can simply sit and be.
