The Weather

No pattern of mine is gonna cut through your time like a light from the blue
Seem to cycle like a dime round these spirals in my mind
You’re soft as feathers
Can’t be tethered
No sense regretting
You’re simple as the weather
When it rains you feel safe to cry
When the sun comes out you wonder how you ever question
When it’s grey you don’t mind that it’s grey all the time
You wouldn’t mind if it never broke
I wonder if it’s that you’re too scared to hope
And in the dark you just close your eyes
Wait for the weather to make up your mind
Wait for the clouds to tell you which way to go
Is it you is it you is it you is it you that you know?
Oh, you’re a sensitive mess
A tentative curse
A delicate force
A conjuring word
The mile you quit
The time you conspired
The wish that you made
The death where you smile
The priest in the coven
The lark in the trench
The bun in the oven
The lingering stench
A push from behind
The time that you cried
The bounce on the pavement
That made the girls smiles
You’ve light on your face
You’re picking up static
I lost where I was
And started to panic
A courteous kiss
An unravelling mask
The shadows that dance
When you turn your back
Behind closed doors
Where the pretty girl snores
And the vision you’re craving adores something you lack
Is it you is it you is it you is it you that you lack?
When it rains you feel safe to cry
When the sun comes out you wonder how you ever question
When it’s grey you don’t mind that it’s grey all the time
You wouldn’t mind if it never broke
I wonder if it’s that you’re too scared to hope
And in the dark you just close your eyes
Wait for the weather to make up your mind
Wait for the clouds to tell you which way to go
Is it you is it you is it you is it you that you show?

Insights Of A Heart
04:31
|
|||
Tentative I lend my hand
Sometimes I forget where my skin ends
Quivering you are the plant
The insights of a heart
I left a mirror on the ledge in the corridor
The lightness humiliates the stars
You I caught walking there
You were smiling at the insights
Soon the breathless will chastise
Prior arranged the balance
You can’t go on forever
I’ll confess if you confess
Who’d have tried to stop me
One eternity to undress
Honey I want you both ways
The insights of a heart
Drinking away the moonbeams
Dark secrets do not haunt me
I think that makes you filthy
Left them so long they sprouted
Hokusai and the Impaler
The art of you and the grain
You can run your fingers down me
You can light me up with insights
Drinking away the moonbeams
The insights of a heart
You and I in sheets of paper
The insights of a heart

I Will Be A Houseplant
04:11
|

I will be a houseplant reaching for your hand
You will be the weather raining on the land
I will be a ripple someone surfs
You will be the sunbeam tumbling to the Earth
But if you are a bob cat
Who has me in their sight
I wont hesitate
If you recognise me
If you let me
I'd love you then too
I already
I will be a french girl platting my hair
You will be a jew
Think about me when you pray
You will be a birdsong
And the lump in my throat
In the early hours song
I remember that melody from somewhere
But if you are a siren
And I have sailed to your side
I wont hesitate if you recognise me
If you let me I'll love you then too
I already do
I will be the insect who wont leave your car

Song To The Siren
03:58
|
|||
Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang sail to me
Sail to me let me unfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamt about me
Were you hare when I was fox
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
And you sing touch me not
Touch me not come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Shys from the sorrow
I'm as puzzled as the oyster
I'm troubled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers
Or should I lay with death my bride
Hear me sing swim to me
Swim to me let me unfold you
Here I am here I am
Waiting to hold you

Delicate
05:00

A soft wind blows and I'm delicate enough to feel it
Of the western rose you're the last one of the season
Brie keeps kicking herself for feeling
Left the light on cos your brain was reeling
Another piece down so it's all revealing
Watch how it grows from refracted things
Your belly's a home for a star we dreamed
I can't stop now cos the creams in flow
You're a primal force with a heart of snow
Wherever you are
We sing the same thing
Wherever you are
We sing the same thing
Cymbals in the back cos the trash has flow
Reaching for your hand like I'm doing up a bow
Melting on the ground cos I let it slip
You stuck around like you found something
Maybe I’m a someone in your life
It started with a day and it turned to night
Here you and I are conspiring thoughts
Now look at us folding up a cot
Glaciers wouldn’t melt
Meant it all in earnest but then it fell down
I couldn’t keep you honest but it seemed to work
When I think about your kisses my stomach starts to hurt
Held by the seven sealed doe
Rampant as a squirrel skipping through the snow
Keep telling you I mean it til you start again
When you catch a feeling
Ride it til the end
When you get the fine and the angels
Chime in their harmonies
Under your thumb
That is the magic devotion has given
I couldn’t trace the words but I felt the flow
I couldn’t look away but I caught the show
Sometimes a poem has the truth you need
But you don’t need to know a thing to write a poetry
Maybe I’m a someone in your life
It started with a day and it turned to night
Here you and I are conspiring thoughts
Now look at us folding up a cot
Glaciers wouldn’t melt
Meant it all in earnest but then it fell down
I couldn’t keep you honest but it seemed to work
When I think about your kisses my stomach starts to hurt
Held by the seven sealed doe
Rampant as a squirrel skipping through the snow
Keep telling you I mean it til you start again
When you catch a feeling
Ride it til the end

Found my rhythm in the stones that I break beneath the rocks
Turned my voice down the phone to these 5am thoughts
If I took melody for granted it's only that she stayed
Some you write to leave but some don't let you get away
Had some bones when I was young
Couldn't press 'em for a sigh
Fit that orphan in my palm
Fed it milk until she died
If there's a whisper in the hall that has turned upon your ear
It's not the past revealing the line before you
Let the memories push the World before you
Sure there are stains and drums and some distant gong
You tell a mean story but don't we all just sing along
A stone that you've bled
Some ghost in your bed
But you're not half way broken
Blank inside, designed and printed in the UK
Blank inside, designed and printed in the UK
If I took melody for granted it's only that you stayed
Blank inside, designed and printed in the UK
Had some bones when I was young
Couldn't press 'em for a sigh
Fit that orphan in my palm
Fed it milk until she died
If there's a whisper in the hall that has turned upon your ear
It's not the past revealing the lines before you
Let the memories push the World before you
Sure there are stains and drums and some distant gong
You tell a mean story but don't we all just sing along
A stone that you've bled
Some ghost in your bed
But you're not half way broken
You're not half way broken

Slow Spirit
04:10
|
|||
Seeker with the black feather
And a coven with the underworld
Don’t sing
Let it sing you
By candlelight and silence
As the oil divides
A succession of small deaths
That keep you from killing yourself
I am no one
I am no one
I am a slow spirit
Infinitely divided
Before the mad god of the old regime
Was writing journals to burn the world
And R. Seeker never said a thing
All the poems he could not escape
Bouncing echoes in a cave
Don’t sing
Let it sing you
I am no one
I am no one
I am a slow spirit
Infinitely divided
I am no one
I am no one
I am a slow spirit
Planted in everyone
Seeker with the dawn feather
And the pendulum in swing
Every sorrow has a season
Like winter has a spring
Don’t be alarmed if it’s your neighbour
The devil has his ways
One day everything happens
And no one gets away
I am no one
I am no one
I am a slow spirit
Infinitely divided
I am no one
I am no one
I am a slow spirit
Planted in everyone

Clever Ghost
05:06
|
|||
Whilst we're speaking honestly
I should tell you truthfully
I could never imagine your heart in my hand
Likely got swept up in the things
We did when we explored tentatively
The feel of each other's hands
Before mind games
Asking myself just to behave
Hoping I'm not acting all strange
Visibly hiding the words circulating round my brain
I'm a clever ghost
I'm a clever ghost
No one knows where my mind goes
No one knows
Recently lapping the same shore repeatedly
Just like before I can feel the breeze
But it's not moving me
Lay her down
Another trip round a dusty town
Intimate amongst the crowd
People smiling awkwardly
Your hair is thinner now
Drop the bottle it puts you down
Crazy to think she'd still be down
Given how long it's been now
I'm a clever ghost
I'm a clever ghost
No one knows where my mind goes
No one knows
In your perfect run
Did you always think there'd just be one
Eternally revealing Sun
Ocean still and horizon
No that cant be right
Come on babe I can't sleep at night
Where there's a shadow there must be a light
Where there's a shadow there must be a light
I'm a clever ghost
I'm a clever ghost
No one knows where my mind goes
No one knows

I Want To Be Free
08:08
|
|||
When I feel sorrow
I look upon my history with a heavy heart
I want what I let go
And there is things I should forget
But I cant leave my past behind me
It’s my shadow stretching back along the road
So I lift my hands
To the sun and say
You have to be grateful for your past
Irrespective of the traps
That the lord put in your way
When the night won’t end
I get lost amongst the company of friends I have lost
Women who gave themselves to me
Love that still has a beating heart
Sometimes when I am weak I want to take it all away
Wash away the river of humanity
I feel sorrow for a life that is gone
I want to be free
Yeh I can’t change what I have woven in this life
Can’t unpick the thread I spun behind me
So I look upon the world with open arms and say
You have to be grateful for your past
Irrespective of the traps
That the lord put in your way
Sometimes when I am sick from worry
And the rhythm in my head is stuck on you
I find myself searching your name
Trying desperately to forget what we shared
I look at your face and I find comfort
Though I’m not sure I recognise those eyes
I want to wake up and tell my people
That tomorrow should I awake then I should smile
I am thankful to have spent this time with you
That it hurts me now is evidence I’m alive
You are a blessing if I forget that I am bitter
I grow tired only of regretting that I smile
You have to be grateful for your past
Irrespective of the traps
That the lord put in your way
You have to be grateful for your past
Irrespective of the traps
That the lord put in your way
