The Way Home

I tried and tried
to cancel all the scenes playing in my mind.
But no.
Let’s start again.
You’ve been holding onto broken things too long and now the things have broken you.
So what to do?
I have far to much to say
and so I stow away behind
my secret walls.
But I built my walls too high to see
a good thing when it comes to me
No I can’t find the way home.
No I can't.
No I can’t find the way.
But I’m trying anyway.
I’m living like
tomorrow never comes
because it never does.
Can I
hold it all in?
There’s a hole that I am standing in,
I’m trying to dig my way back to the light.
I’m drinking gin.
I am standing on a roof.
I am driving in a car on fire.
Do you believe
in memories and make believe
and happy ever after any more?
And I wanted to tell you
that I’m okay
but I’m not okay.

I watch them pass.
They slip beyond the line.
I’m sure they’re real
or from another time.
I pull a thread and open up a window straight into their world.
This disconnect.
This strange uncoupling.
This scene plays out
like I’m behind a screen.
You walk away and flick your hair and never think to look behind.
And I still haven’t found the answers.
And I still haven’t seen the proof.
And still I don’t know who’s out there.
They’re not you.
Trading in another phase.
Keeping up with younger days.
It’s pretty much the same to me
but I’d love a family.
We touched the stratosphere.
I wish that you were near.
Watch you walking as you go,
but we came so close you know.

Solitude Is Easy

Take off the face
that you need around here.
You’ve been keeping it near
every day.
But who are you when
no one’s watching you then
my love?
Who’s that in there?
Maybe turn down the smile.
You’ve been stuck for a while
in every way.
That feeling you feel
is just part of the deal
my love.
You’ve been taking every pill you can
trying to change the masterplan.
Turning up the music.
Chasing out the dark.
You’ve been dropping all the friends you know
cos it’s safer just to let them go.
Solitude is easy
when you’re on your own.
You’ve been wishing it would fade away.
Hoping for another day.
Waiting for a change,
a sign, a call, a sound.
It’s getting nearer.
It’s getting harder.
It’s never coming back.
You’ve given everything you could
my love.
You’ve been trying to sleep
and fighting with it
but you’ve been losing a bit
every day.
So why are you here
when nobody’s near
my love?
