Particles

The dust that formed on your old jewel box
was a reminder of the days we did not see
A million particles take formations
made up of parts of you and parts of me.
But now we are old.
Now we are old.
It's all we have to remember the good days
The ones of glances still insecure
And all the years that passed in an instant
Teaching my eyes to see with yours.
But now we are old.
Now we are old.
So let's get dolled up like it's the last time
and learn the dance we never did.
An endless waltz 'til the close of the curtain
A secret encore that we'll keep hid...

Your Roses

Your roses on the fire
burning up with your desire
What the hell are we fighting for?
You can't fight without a war
I don't want to change your roses again...
Fell asleep at the wheel
just to see how it would feel
Asphalt grey, black as night
Roses red and fade to white
I swear I love my children and I love my wife
and I love all my animals and love my life
but there are things that I do just to feel alive
that help me breathe another breath and sleep at night...
Your roses on the flames
foolish minds for childish gains.
Close my eyes and drift away
Nothing to doubt. Nothing to say.
I swear I love my children and I love my wife
and I love all my animals and love my life
but there are things that I do just to feel alive
that help me breathe another breath and sleep at night...
I am alive, I am alive, I am alive...
And I don't want to change your roses again...

We Are Still Here

You know you should have left an hour ago
as the clock strikes back to a single digit
You should have made your plans for an easy exit
But we are still here
We are still here
We are, we are, we are...
The conversation that you started about poetry and love
is edging ever closer to the dark things that you fear
The exit sign above the bar blinks right off
But we are still here
We are still here
We are, we are, we are...
You've been flirting with a feeling little girl
With all the ones you've been holding so near
It's the one that made you take all of the chances
When falling in love wasn't something to fear
The sunlight begins to fill through the cracks in the pavement
As you take yours and they take theirs
The whispers incessantly ringing, whispers in your ears
But we are still here
We are still here
We are, we are, we are...
You've been flirting with a feeling little girl
With all the ones you've been holding so near
It's the one that made you take all of the chances
When falling in love wasn't something to fear

Unsaid

Some things are better left unsaid
but I've got the universe in my mouth
There are angles in the dark holding keys to black holes
but once lips part, then what's left?
Some things are better left unsaid
but I've got volcanoes in my chest
Troubled words, sidestepped intentions as the telephone beeps
If they erupt what's left to keep?
Controlled explosions are my relief
as I dismantle every urge
My lips don't move, I clench my teeth
My universe stays whole
Close your eyes. Go to sleep.
Some things are better left unsaid...

The cellophane wrappers shine silver and gold
as they glint in the sun on the day you grew old
The cold on your breath reminds you of friends in the north
How many whiskies have you put back this week?
The pigment, the blush, on the sides of your cheek
A river runs through, turning your blacks into whites
As you lay in your bed with the thoughts you once said
going stumbling around in the sides of your head
and the man that you thought you'd become when you were still young
The fuck ups, the failures, the lies, the complaints
they don't mean a thing when you're in her embrace
and as you draw the last breath of the day you are finally home.
You are home.
You are all in now.

Two Seconds To Midnight New York, New York
Blending brooding strings, intricate rhythms and the brutally honest lyrics of Scottish frontman Zig Payton that effortlessly morph from hear-a-pin-drop intimacy to soaring through-the-roof-and-beyond codas, the band themselves admit to not really planning where the music can go next, leaving a vast frontier in front of them. That’s the way they like it. ... more
