Lifeboats

Hold on, hold on,
let me get the words out
before i burst.

there's no truth at all,
poking out the child eyes
of ancient gods.

cool heads have failed,
and now it's time for me
to have my turn.

kiss me, kiss me,
life is way too short
to scream and shout.

flashed up in my wildest dreams,
the dark red blood streams
stretching out like crossed red lights.

The veins of you, the veins of me,
Like great forest trees
Fishing through and on away

Land like a satellite
In the broken night
then ill wake you there and say

love is light while outside
and hide, set against the sky,
it seems the balance always own.

sing out, sing out.
The silence only eats us
from the inside up.

I meant no harm,
But I only get to sing
these words to late

Wake up wake up
Draeming only leads
to more nightmares

Snap out of it
Your sitting in a way that showed
you really care

flashed up in my wildest dreams,
the dark red blood streams
stretching out like crossed red lights.

The veins of you, the veins of me,
Like great forest trees
Fishing through and on away

Land like a satellite
In the broken night
then ill wake you there and say

love is light while outside
and hide, set against the sky,
it seems the balance always own.

send your lifeboats
not for me
send your lifeboat out
