Poltergeist

Let me tell you of a way
How we go about, avoiding any blame
When all we see's a rising sun
We'll stay in our domain
Then how can we foresee
A child lost at sea
People running away from a
Home that they once knew
There's been a murder
And its happened in plain sight
Amongst the trials and tribulations
Of a poltergeist
And in the facade
That we’re fed each day
There's a victim in the shadows
Without a name
A widow dressed in white
(She's calling out for safety)
Stained red from her husband's fight
Watching her eldest son
(He's calling 'Please save me')
Can he protect her with his father's gun
CHORUS
There's been a murder
And its happened in plain sight
Amongst the trials and tribulations
Of a poltergeist
And in the facade
That we’re fed each day
There's a victim in the shadows
Without a name
BRIDGE
Pages from the past just fall away
From a binding that's man made
We choose not to sing
From the same hymn sheet
It’s easier to hide, behind our screens
and scroll forever, swipe away
All the atrocities
Then it's out of sight, out of mind
But will they last the night?
There's been a murder
And its happened in plain sight
Amongst the trials and tribulations
Of a poltergeist
And in the facade
That we’re fed each day
There's a victim in the shadows
Without a name
Theres been a murder
And in the facade
There’s been a murder
And there’s a victim in the shadows without a name

Breathe For Me

And I stand half the man that I was
Clutching at my prayers
But I've found new purpose
Taking your despair
As the storm emerges,
I am teaching you to dance in the rain (In the rain)
But with your help, I can try,
To live for each day
Just breathe for me
And make me feel life
So I can survive
When nothing goes my way
I grow older
I carry the weight
Of your world on my shoulders
As I voice my thoughts from deep within
My body starts to shake
I guess there’s only so much
My brittle bones can take
As I look into your eyes
I know you feel that darkness
I've tried to hide
But maybe together
We'll rid this parasite
That grows in everyone's doubts
Especially yours and mine
We're one of the same
Built through the same design
As the storm emerges,
I am teaching you to dance in the rain
But with your help, I will try to
To live for each day
Breathe for me
And make me feel life
So I can survive
When nothing goes my way
I grow older
I carry the weight
Of your world on my shoulders
As I voice my thoughts from deep within
My body starts to shake
I guess there’s only so much
My brittle bones can take
I know that there's still life in my age
But I no longer take centre stage
I've realised your happiness is mine too
I live through you
Breathe for me
And make me feel life
So I can survive
When nothing goes my way
I grow older
I carry the weight
Of your world on my shoulders
As I voice my thoughts from deep within
My body starts to shake
I guess there’s only so much
My brittle bones can take

Make Me Believe

Come speak all your words to me
Make me believe
That my narcissistic story
Is all just conceived
And all in my head
And all in my head
You said
Bury the noise
Of a fallen angels voice
There are skeletons you've tried to hide
But they walk with you in plain sight
My life was on fire
And no one could see it but you
Consumed with the desire
To bite off more than I can chew
I'd fall into daydreams
Where no one could hear my screams
A place covered in poisoned weeds and self destructive seeds
Are allowed to grow
You said
Bury the noise
Of a fallen angels voice
There are skeletons you've tried to hide
But they walk with you in plain sight
Broken down and
So worn out
(Bury the noise)
I cannot see
(There is a choice)
My self deceit
Come speak all your words to me
Make me believe
There is something more I can be
Please make me see
(Please make me see )
Bury the noise
Of a fallen angels voice
There are skeletons you've tried to hide
But they walk with you in plain sight
Broken down and
So worn out
(Bury the noise)
I could not see
(There is a choice)
My self deceit

Losing Sight

What were they supposed to do?
Losing sight of who they were, and I wish they knew
How they could have changed
When all they knew was how to act for their
Figures of discipline
What could they do
To change their narrow view
To change their narrow view
Let me tell you a story of a person I once knew
They slaved all day for a life that they didn’t choose
Who's to blame for this fight or flight (There's something draining the colour)
What a shame to waste their life
Why can’t they just see
Who they're meant to be
Oh how they try
To force-feed them fallacies
(Will I get to, a place
Where I’m happy again)
Let me tell you a story of a person I once knew
They slaved all day for a life that they didn’t choose
Who's to blame for this fight or flight (There's something draining the colour)
What a shame to waste their life
(I know I started from the bottom)
Heads up here comes another problem
(Is this something to shape me)
To who you’re meant to be
You're living a life that you didn't choose
It’s do or die, search for something new
