Broken
I’m broken
I’m damaged goods
I’ve nothing left to give
I’m useless
I’m empty inside
No reason left to live
Broken
I’m fallen
I’m all spent out
I’m grasping straws not there
I’m rotting
Decomposing
My life’s approaching bare
Broken
I’m fading
I’m falling apart
I’m losing reality’s grip
I’m broken
I’m damaged goods
This life – the sinking ship
Broken

Driven (with Reed Hays)
03:09
|

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Your eyes are a sight to behold
And the secrets that hide behind your lips
are they forever to remain untold?
The taste of your sweet candy lipstick
The touch of your smooth gentle skin
The brush of your hair against my face
and you’re no longer thinking of him.
The sound of your voice is angelic
The blink of your eyelids devine
The smile of a fairy tale princess -
In a fairy tale you would be mine.
A being so gentle and so sweet
A lady an honour to know
A nature so calming and so pure
As pure as the driven snow.

Chorus:
Janine
Where you been?
What you seen?
Since you up and left me in agony
Janine
Where you been?
What d’ya mean?
You’re free now and loving life callously
Poem:
Here’s another,
about a boy like me.
One who only wanted love.
One who’d never known true love.
To hold someone in coldest night.
To feel someone and cling on tight.
He’s all alone.
He’s desolate.
And the boy is me and I want you back, Janine.
You said you would “break your back” for me.
I gave you all my love, you gave me all yours too.
Janine, I need you back here by my side.
Since you’ve left I’ve been crying.
Since you’ve left I’ve felt like dying.
Over the moon, then, under the carpet.
You slashed my dreams, I slashed my armpit.
Over the moon, then, under the carpet.
You slashed my dreams, I slashed my armpit.
That boy is me and I need you now, Janine.
How could you break that vow we made, Janine?
I gave you everything, now I haven’t anything.
Janine I need you back to swell my pride.
Now I realise that love isn’t real –
it’s only rejection that you feel.
The love we had was artificial.
The happy faces – superficial.
But still I want you back here with me.
Those parting words just keep on hitting me.
In your black book and onto the shelf.
You fucked me dry, I knifed myself.
In your black book and onto the shelf.
You fucked me dry, I knifed myself.
You burned your hands so that you couldn’t touch me.
I bought you things to make you love me.
I bought you jewels of amethyst.
You snatched them and I slashed my wrist.
I bought you jewels of amethyst.
You snatched them and I slashed my wrist.
Over the moon then under the carpet.
You slashed my dreams, I slashed my armpit.
Over the moon then under the carpet.
You slashed my dreams, I slashed my armpit.
Janine.
Rap:
I’m uncomfortably numb - uncomfortably dumb
While I’m staring at the hole in the wall you just walked through before
flooring - informing me of all those before me
Still crawling round town
Like a corpse in the road
- and like a sheet of metal beaten into angles
I feel vandalised tantalised so I tried to handle my-self
With the decency I thought you’d agreed to honour me with - whore
You never did, you fucking lied - and you never said no, only said goodbye, why!?!
But not before I tried to tell you that I understand – it’s not about the time or that time before
We all make mistakes like pudding on a dinner plate - (you) eat more
But the war starts and the phone calls start to burn my heart
And when you took me for the cash it all went dark
An alarming question mark now hangs above the past - a bastard part
pulled by horses ripping me apart
It ain’t the pain - I said I’d hurt myself remember!?
Cause if not me it’s you
And I can barely hold my temper
I’m barely walking squarely early in the morning blurry eyed
Drinking thinking that I’m on a sinking ship so bring me my suicide jacket and emergency flare I’ll put the gun to my head and blow my brains over there
I’ll don my suicide jacket and emergency flare put it under my chin and blow my brains in the air

The sun may shine, but in my world – rain.
The world may turn, but to a halt mine strains.
The flowers may bloom, to me they wilt.
I live in ruins, where a city is built.
The world may laugh, I do but cry.
People bubble with life, I could die.
Some find a partner to love, I’m left to lone.
They will stand high whilst I’m down below.
The dejection I feel, the desolation I gain.
I could spew to the thought of the life to my name.
My body feels tired, my head empty of thought.
What power on Earth these feelings could have brought?
My life it feels spent, though I’m still in my teens.
The ‘time of my life’, I know not what it means.
Rain keeps on falling in the view from my room.
An end to my life could never come too soon.
You may scorn at my words, find humour in me.
But to me, this is real, no humour I see.
The world brought me up, and, is dragging me down.
In a ‘sink or swim’ case then I know I would drown.
The isolation I have, incomprehension my name.
Day after day the sadness remains the same.
My feeble body must rest as I down to lie.
And, if I should sleep, then I hope I will die.

Some things magnificent,
some simply stun,
and, you are one.
Magnificence in glory.
Like tide coming in.
Like sun rising.
Litmus to blue.
Water to ice.
Magnificence in glory.
Some things quite beautiful,
some that I love,
and you I love.
Magnificence in glory.
Like rain falling down.
Like water running.
Litmus to pink.
Water to steam.
Magnificence in glory.
And some things happen that really shouldn’t
(against all rules of science)
And some cause havoc that really shake up
All the rules of nature.
Some things magnificent,
some simply stun,
and, you are one.
Magnificence in glory.

Hey (with KiDD)
02:57
|
|||
Hey, you not talking anymore?
You found someone else to play with?
Hey, you don’t need me anymore?
You got another friend to stay with?
Those weeks we spent together
don’t mean anything more to ya?
Those walks and talks and confiding
now in the past, forgotten?
Hey, you not my ‘Soulmate’ today?
You got someone else to love you?
Hey, thought I gave you life again?
Remember “that feeling”, remember?
Hey, you don’t want me now?
Care if I leave this world now?
Hey, told you where my Heaven is
don’t share it now, don’t share it!
Hey, you enjoying your life now?
Who gave you that? Who showed you?
Hey, maybe I’m the one who parted?
Maybe I’m the one that walked away?
Maybe I’m the one who started this?
Maybe I’m the one who lived his dream?
Maybe I’m the one that couldn’t stop?
Maybe I’m the one who won’t let go?
Maybe I’m the one that should start again?
Maybe I’m the one with another life?
Maybe I’m the loser in this party game?
Maybe I’m the one that needed you?
Maybe I should have kept you to myself?
Maybe I should never have let go?
Hey, please talk to me again.
Hey, please think of me tonight.
Hey, please love me in your heart.
Hey, please be my friend.

Lament (with Vukovar)
03:52
|

I couldn’t always be there,
and, you wouldn’t come here.
I always wanted you close,
you always wanted me near,
and the feelings I put deep inside of you,
and the switch that I flicked that rekindled past youth,
and I was the boy that I’d never been,
and I was the man with new purpose, new meaning,
and after being so high this is the fall that I feared,
and when we talk on the phone I can hear your tears,
and the soul that’s been taken out of my heart,
and the heart has been ripped away from my soul,
and the dream that I dreamt of a brand new start
has been shattered again as a final recall,
and the tablets I bought and safely keep
are all the pills that I need to take -
and the feeling of unknowing, of what to do now,
is the feeling of knowing I would never wake,
and it’s not through depression,
and, it’s not lack of self worth.
It’s knowing how happy one person can be,
and knowing that happy I can’t always be,
and having tasted Nirvana, Utopia, Heaven,
and knowing such happiness can’t go on forever,
and feeling I’m starting to bring you down
is something I cannot entertain, ever,
and, these Soulmates need to return to good friends,
and our ‘ships in the night’ - that really must end,
and a love story written without false pretence
is a love story shared but destined to end.

I’m falling.
Down,
into you heart.
Falling hopelessly in love.
I’m tumbling.
Over,
in ecstasy.
Tumbling head over heels.
I’m flying.
Up,
in the clouds.
Flying above my dreams.
I’m kissing.
Lips,
on your face.
Kissing my life away.
Embracing your memory.
Kissing your lips away.
Arranging my destiny.
I’m falling,
hopelessly in love, my love.
With you.

I look and stare into bluey, greeny, grey eyes
I kiss the mouth that turns into smile
I touch the face of an angel (I swear)
The moment I wake, my Lovely is there
I stroke the soft skin of beauty defined
I cannot remove your face from my mind
I outline your shoulders, cheekbones, your hair
The moment I wake, my Lovely is there
I caress your loveliness whenever I can
I lose myself with you, all that I am
Blue, green and grey eyes of my Maiden fair
The moment I wake, my Lovely is there

Should I, or, could I,
express how far my love
extends for you? Because,
even when you
treat me badly,
I cannot deny
how much I love you.
Maybe, one day
in a dream,
I could tell you
how much you mean.
Sometimes,
you leave me
feeling
ever so cold, but,
respect for you
makes my love
even stronger.
When your love shines through,
it makes me
the happiest being to walk this Earth.
And, the only worrying thing
on my mind is
the nightmare
of me
losing you.
My mere words, my love,
are barely enough
to express my true feelings.
Only if you
momentarily
stepped into my heart,
could you really realise
the intensity
(of my love)

I know you are there
I know you are there
Behind the door, under the stairs
I can’t see you but
I know you are there
Watching me, watching me
I know you are there
Under my floorboards
Deep in my walls
Outside the window, watching me fall
I know you are there
I know you are there
Watching me, watching me
I know you are there
Across the road
Behind the trees
Watching me move
Please stop it, please
I know you are there
I know you are there
Watching me, watching me
I know you are there
Sending me letters, ringing my pone
Only you know when I’m alone
You know where I hide
Where I’m going to go
I know you are there
I know you are there
Watching me, watching me
I know you are there
I don’t know where you hide
I don’t know where you stay
Don’t know who you are
Or, why you’re wanting to play
I know you are there
I know you are there
Watching me, watching me
I know you are there
Don’t you know, I’m dying inside
My every move is yours, fear in my eyes
I’m shaking, I’m shaking, I’m dying inside
I know you are there
I know you are there
Watching me, watching me
Watching me, watching me
Watching me, watching me
I know you are there

See that smile?
The smile on the face of the woman that saved my life
The smile that brings joy and comfort to us all
The smile belonging to the person of perfect integrity
The smile of warmth, and honesty, and compassion
See that mind?
The mind of a woman who thoughtfully questions everything
The mind that believes good will always triumph evil
The mind constantly evolving, learning and moving onwards
The mind of a winner in the heads of her closest
See my Muse?
My muse that builds inspiration in my heart
My muse exhales beauty from every angle
My muse that allows my creative forces to flow
My muse, my rock, my reason, my protectress.

Broken
I’m fallen
I’m all spent out
I’m grasping straws not there
I’m rotting
Decomposing
My life’s approaching bare
Broken
I’m fading
I’m falling apart
I’m losing reality’s grip
I’m broken
I’m damaged goods
This life – the sinking ship
Broken
Come Back To Me
Come back to me.
Come back to me, my love
Let the cool night breeze
Brush the cold soil from your body
Let the full moon
Chase the shadows from your soul
Let the Raven's wing
Mark your path
And let my song of heartache
Guide you home.
Come back to me.
Come back to me, my love
My tears will wash the grave dirt
From your cheeks
My arms will soften the harshness
Of your passing
My heart will beat not for myself
But for we two
And we shall know again
The comfort of the other's presence.
Come back to me.
Come back to me, my love
I hold no fear for the greyness of your pallor
Nor do I fear the corrupt passage
Of deaths seeping sap
No mortal purpose could dissuade these arms
From holding you close again
I fear only the absence of your touch
The retreating proximity of your desire.
Come back to me.
Come back to me, my love
And lie with me beneath the chiffon shroud
Of the night's black sky
Whilst I drink deeply of the merciful potion
That will speed my spirit outwards and onwards
To walk, once more, with yours.
And with my last earthly breath
I shall speak your name, my love
And we shall embrace eternity together
