Poison

She was an American girl with sunshine hair
He was a London boy with a destructive soul
They were inseparable right from the start
But soon love's consuming kiss took it's toll

She cut herself on his razor-blade lips
and he drunk in her venom like fine wine
They flew to the moon in their minds
Lost in that bed, whilst their stars align

His passion for her turned toxic and deadly
He tore right through her fragile heart
Truth was found in the eyes of friends
They foresaw the turmoil from the start

He took the poison, his one true lover
Promised worlds he could only dream of
It filled the gaps she left, the spaces between
This destructive pointless thing called love

Swan Song

Take me to the bridge
Where I will flirt with the edge
There lies my swan song

Fade Away

The music doesn't excite me anymore
I've been stretched too thin for so fucking long
The sights and sounds have become such a chore
I can't fake the feeling for one more song

I need to be numb to face this cold earth
I fall in love with everyone I meet
There's so much good in people so much worth
I feel too much, I've admitted defeat

My wife is a goddess who's filled with love
My daughter reminds me of who I was
Far too trusting, my flightless little dove
Scared I'll rip them with my destructive claws

I have turned lackluster and erratic
I won't fade away, I'll become static

Twisted Love Affair

We fell in love in a drug infused haze

The track marks on our arms our only destination

We would lie in that bed lost for days

Entranced by your penetrating gaze

Our love was like an unending sedation

We fell in love in a drug infused haze

My friends they told me you were a phase

But with you I finally found salvation

We would lie in that bed lost for days

As I close my eyes, my love for you it stays

You were my heroin and I gave into temptation

We fell in love in a drug infused haze

Without you there is no life, my body decays

I’ll press the needle into my arm, my final aspiration

We would lie in that bed lost for days

Constant visions of you my mind replays

Picturing your body burning, the cremation

We fell in love in a drug infused haze

We would lie in that bed lost for days

Death In Sammara (Co-written by The Darlings)

Penetrating eyes
Will follow you in shadow
Ride away young man.

Winter

The trees lose their skin

Their bones crunch under my foot
The winter has come

Follow Me Out Of The Dark

Take my hand I’ll lead you out of the dark

And follow me through the shades of my soul

Take my hand and then we will disembark

Follow me, I'll rebuild you, make you whole

Take my heart and I will show you my love

Tell me your secrets and I’ll tell you mine

I love you more than the heavens above

You are my heart, I am forever thine

I find you in the darkest of places

I can see you where the light does not reach

You’re in part of me, all of the spaces

For you to follow me, I do beseech

Follow me out of the dark, my always

I am ever immortal in your gaze

Poetry In Motion

You are the iron in my veins
You are the smell of the rain
You are poetry in motion, my dear
and I have never been so clear

You are the spaces in between
You are the one thing I need
You are poetry in motion, my love
and you are all I can think of

Nightmares

Now and then I get a strange feeling
Images creep around the corner of my ceiling
Gnawing at the corners of my mind
Horrifying sights are what you'll find
Tonight I return to my paralysed state
Monster and ghouls, they lie in wait
A clawed hand grasps my neck
Right above the jugular, I check
Every night is always the same
Solemnly stuck in this endless game
