It is Night, it is Day

It is nigh, it is day
A cloud so thick it covers so I can’t see past these shutters
Horrid and afraid
The masquerade is falling and there’s no way I can turn the page
Tired and sore
If death is part of life then this is something uninformed
Peace, am I whole?
Where is the meaning when she’s dying
Have I missed it all?
Show me how to navigate it all
I am lost in the dark
Give me your hand or find
Help as soon as you can
Can we meet this unexpected
With light in the place of our hearts
Purpose was it set
Thought I’d found a pathway, but I guess I haven’t yet
Stolen and afraid
I’ll take another taste to masquerade this growing shade
This is all I imagine
From now until the end
Are we still friends?
Could I take one more night
You and I and them
To remember it all

For You, For Me

Oh, what did you think I was saying?
To you that night?
Oh, for you I will be praying
To find out what’s right
For you, for me
Does disappointment follow you around like a thief
For you, for me
I hope to see you soon and we can talk it all through
Til the morning
Oh, can I hide what I’m thinking
from the judges and spies
Oh, what the hell am I doing
What is this life
For you, for me
Is recklessness charming you like a thief
For you, for me
If the moons showed me something illuminating
It’s the morning
For you, for me
It’ll haunt you all day and in the night like a thief
For you, for me
Does doubt become so constant that we cannot even see
In the morning

Danger Signs
02:40
|

|
Like the day when we were small
We’d go down to the cold river
And cut our legs on the flint there and bleed
The blood would flow out to the sea
Where the mad man fished erratically
So the city could add up all their zeros and ones
/I was stuck in my young mind/
/Misinterpreting danger signs/
/But it’s all catching up with me now/
My brother draws and my brother sells
They’re buying big things, both doing well
Naive I was sold on freedom and getting away
Moved to the west thought I knew best
But man I have learnt from all that came next
Settled right down with a wife and a kid on the way
/I was stuck in my own mind/
/Missing all the danger signs/
/But it’s caught up with you and me now/
To be well
To be well with all I have
I’ll be well
I’ll be well with all I have
