Losing Wild

Have you seen the animals crossing the desert
They’re on their way (oh)
Have you seen the animals crossing the desert
In the light of the heat of the day.
The hourglass drains there’s no Noah’s Ark in the desert
So they’re going away
Only time rains down on this bleak parade in the desert
The Twilight of Wilder Days.
My wild heart
Goes with them
My mind
Goes down with them
I go with them
I go with them
I go with them
Have you seen the animal crossing the desert
She’s on her way (oh)
Have you seen the animal crossing the desert
In the light of the heat of the day.
The mind it is a mirror to the land
What was once forest now is sand
In the Twilight of Wilder Days.
My wild heart
Goes with them
My mind
Goes down with them
I go with them
I go with them
I go with them
Because what am I
If there’s no lion
To teach me to roar
No Ibis
No Eagle flying
Reminding me I can soar?
My wild heart
Goes with them
My mind
Goes down with them
I creature, wild with them
Am hunted
I go with them I go
I go with them I go
I go with them.

Smog & Mirrors

Smog under glass
The future has past.
Just push the pedals ‘round,
Don’t stop to ask.
Before the bang
All this was spring-loaded.
Why spend energy resisting?
Certainty is pre-programmed.
The furthest we’ll get is the end of the string
Then we’ll shoot backwards, recoil the spring
And on it goes
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Smog under glass
Kept in the dark.
Just push the pedals ‘round,
Don’t stop to ask.
Before the bang
All this was spring-loaded.
Why spend energy resisting?
Certainty is pre-programmed.
The furthest we’ll get is the end of the string
Then we’ll shoot backwards, recoil the spring
And on it goes
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Smog under glass,
Kept in the dark.

Spinning Heads
03:31

You keep telling me to slow down
Well I was travelling too fast to see that you’re right
Now the time has come* World’s slowed down
All the colours they shine much brighter now…
But my head still spins
The state I was in it lingers, still
Thoughts won’t stand still
Ideas float around my head like butterflies, tied
Is it I’m dizzy or is the world just spinning the wrong way round today.
Around today.
Is it I’m dizzy or is the world just spinning the wrong way round today.
Around today.
I keep trying to reign it in
But all that raining made colours run in my eyes
Pass the scissors to cut the strings
I’m blinded by dripping wet winged butterflies.
Oh my head still spins
The state I was in it lingers, still
Thoughts won’t stand still
Ideas float around my head like butterflies, tied
Is it I’m dizzy or is the world just spinning the wrong way round today.
Around today.
Is it I’m dizzy or is the world just spinning the wrong way round today.
Around today.

Dissenter

On through the dust
Dissenter I
Slash self doubt ‘cross the scarlet sky.
I hide my hope in the boot of my ride
Swallow sand from the clouds to bury my pride
Somewhere on the road
Somewhere on the road
Moving a mountain of shifting sands
No glory in a war that begins where it ends
Give a spade to the ones who’ll take a stand
There’s too much power in not enough hands.
Writhing heat, warped by wind
I choke at the thought of the state I’m in
Dune by dune
Dust by dusk
I lend my thoughts to the woman I trust
Somewhere on the road
Somewhere on the road.
Moving a mountain of shifting sands
No glory in a war that begins where it ends
Give a spade to the ones who’ll take a stand
There’s too much power in not enough hands.
I need more time
For my changing stripes
I need more time for my changing stripes.
Moving a mountain of shifting sands
No glory in a war that begins where it ends
Give a spade to the ones who’ll take a stand
There’s too much power in not enough hands.

Goes Untold

Lost by the light of the silv’ry moon
I’m lost by the light of the silv’ry moon
It took my hand and waited
It took my hand and waited
It took my hand and waited
Couldn’t find peace in the leaf-stained stream
Couldn’t find peace in the leaf-stained stream
It held my hope and waited
It held my hope and waited
It held my hope and waited
Fragments of a misty morn
But my eye’s been cut by paper
Stumbling blind in a place I know
She took my hand and waited.
It goes untold
The memories of old.
Truth once told
Now memories of old.
The whole truth held in a drop of rain
The whole truth held in a drop of rain
But we decline to taste it
we decline to taste it
we decline to taste it
Our secret’s held in the old cool stone
Our secret’s held in the old cool stone
Hold me there I’m safe now
Hold me there I’m safe now
If you can’t say it like you mean it
Then write it down for later.
She will wait to hear it
Souls lifted from the pavement.
It goes untold
The memories of old.
They go untold,
These memories of old.
