Recharge the Soul

I've got sparks in my brain
A tangled mess I can’t explain
Running on fumes I’m out of time
Clock spinning backwards stealing my prime

But I hear a hum in the silence
A whisper of something new
It’s the sound of defiance
Breaking through

Recharge the soul let the lightning strike
Plug me in let me feel alive tonight
I hear the sounds I can't decode
But when the music calls I’ll hit the road

Tired eyes heavy as stone
Chasing shadows I’m never alone
My heart beats loud like a rebel drum
Waiting for the spark to come

But the spark’s in the waiting
In the stillness of the dark
It’s the fire regenerating
Rebuilding my heart

Recharge the soul let the lightning strike
Plug me in let me feel alive tonight
I hear the sounds I can't decode
But when the music calls I’ll hit the road

I've got sparks in my brain
A tangled mess I can’t explain
Running on fumes I’m out of time
Clock spinning backwards stealing my prime

But the spark’s in the waiting
In the stillness of the dark
It’s the fire regenerating
Rebuilding my heart

Recharge the soul let the lightning strike
Plug me in let me feel alive tonight
I hear the sounds I can't decode
But when the music calls I’ll hit the road

Floating

Floating so high
Like a kite on a string
Just me and the sky
What will tomorrow bring

Dreaming in the air
No worries no care
Floating free now
Somehow

The world spins below me a tiny blue ball
Sometimes I wonder why I never fall
But the wind holds me steady a gentle soft hand
Dreaming in the air above this magical land

Dreaming in the air
No worries no care
Floating free now
Somehow

Maybe I'll visit the moon for a while
Share my dreams of the stars with a smile
No need for a map no need for a guide
Just me and you side by side

Dreaming in the air
No worries no care
Floating free now
Anyhow

Floating so high
Like a kite on a string
Just me and the sky
What will tomorrow bring

Dreaming in the air
No worries no care
Floating free now
Anyhow

Dancing into Tomorrow

Feet on fire can't feel the ground
Lost in the beat where no thoughts are found
Neon lights paint my skin
The night begins to pull me in

Dancing all night a whirl a spin
Keeps me from the mess within
Heartbeat pounding mind resets
In the morning I'll forget

The room’s a blur faces fade
I’m a shadow in a masquerade
No past no future just the now
Sweat like glitter dripping down

Dancing all night a whirl a spin
Keeps me from the mess within
Heartbeat pounding mind resets
In the morning I'll forget

Spinning faster gravity’s gone
Thoughts dissolve with every song
Every turn erases pain
Let the music drown my brain

Dancing all night a whirl a spin
Keeps me from the mess within
Heartbeat pounding mind resets
In the morning I'll forget

Music is the Key

When everything is chaos and my brain is on the turn
I find a chord
A melody
And everything is mine again

When my guitar's alive
I am alive
When I hear my voice
It stops the noise

Music is the key

When I'm spinning
I start to play
When I'm lost
It's the only way
When I need to breathe
I open my mouth
And the rest will figure itself out

When my guitar's alive
I am alive
When I hear my voice
It stops the noise

Music is the key

When I start to think
I start to sink
So I play
I sing
I let it ring
I strum
I hum
Until I become
My heart
My voice
My choice
My heart
My voice
My choice

When my guitar's alive
I am alive
When I hear my voice
It stops the noise

Music is the key
To everything

Afternoon Drift

Getting through the day
With my shoes half-laced
Long afternoons
Stuck in the same place

Nothing on the table
Just an empty plate
I watch the fan turn
And I wait

I check the clock twice
It barely moves
I fake a good smile
Like I know what to do

The room feels larger
When the phone stays still
I keep on moving
Just to fill the chill

Getting through the day
Getting through the day
Nothing to do
But keep it moving anyway

No-one to see
No-one to save me
Getting through the day
Getting through the day
Through the day

Sun on the floorboard
Fades to the wall
I count my steps
In the same short hall

Cold glass of water
Warm by noon
I make small plans
Then lose them too

I check the clock twice
It barely moves
I fake a good smile
Like I know what to do

The room feels larger
When the phone stays still
I keep on moving
Just to fill the chill

Getting through the day
Getting through the day
Nothing to do
But keep it moving anyway

No-one to see
No-one to save me
Getting through the day
Getting through the day
Through the day

Maybe I don't need
A miracle call
Maybe I just need
To make it past it all

One more hour
Then the light will change
One more breath
Then I'll try again

Getting through the day
Getting through the day
Nothing to do
But keep it moving anyway

No-one to see
No-one to save me
Getting through the day
Getting through the day
Through the day

Missing You

Feeling down
Feeling low
Staring at the ceiling
Like it might somehow know

Feeling hollow
Feeling blue
Every quiet corner
Keeps turning into you

I’m hollow when I miss you
Every room an empty frame
I say your name in a whisper
And it echoes back the same
I’m trying to be okay here
But every road leads back to you
Feeling down
Feeling low
Feeling hollow
Feeling blue
Missing you

Cold cup on the table
Your lipstick on the rim
I still save you a side of the bed
Lights off on a whim

All these almost-answered messages
I never hit send though
I write
I’m fine
I’m fine again
When all I mean is you

I’m hollow when I miss you
Every room an empty frame
I say your name in a whisper
And it echoes back the same
I’m trying to be okay here
But every road leads back to you
Feeling down
Feeling low
Feeling hollow
Feeling blue
Missing you

Morning Blues, You're Gone

Sun crawls up my window
Coffee stains on my old shirt
Yesterday sat on my shoulders
Now it’s past the time for hurt

Left my worries in the wash
Let ‘em spin, make them new
If the sky can turn this gold
Guess my luck can just turn too

Morning blues, you’re gone
And I’m still here, so let’s party (oh yeah)
Bare feet on the counter
Mismatched socks, feeling fancy
If this is all I’ve got
Then this is all that I need
Morning blues, you’re gone
Watch me dance to my own heartbeat

Bills still on the table
Phone screen cracked, still it rings
But my toast jumps like a dancer
And my spoon taps on the sink

Neighbours banging on the ceiling
‘Cause I’m humming off-key
If joy is slightly crooked
Guess it’s just perfect for me

Morning blues, you’re gone
And I’m still here, so let’s party (oh yeah)
Bare feet on the counter
Mismatched socks, feeling fancy
If this is all I’ve got
Then this is all that I need
Morning blues, you’re gone
Watch me dance to my own heartbeat

Guitar still in its case
Need to practice, maybe soon
Just time for another cigarette
Hoping it'll last till noon

My mind is not yet ready
For more of what life sends
So until the evening comes again
I'll just lie here and pretend

Morning blues, you’re gone
And I’m still here, so let’s party (oh yeah)
Bare feet on the counter
Mismatched socks, feeling fancy
If this is all I’ve got
Then this is all that I need
Morning blues, you’re gone
Watch me dance to my own heartbeat

Dartmoor Hares

Brown backs flash through the bracken
White tails cut through the heat
Dust kicks up from the track and
You’re laughing
Trying to keep your feet
Blue mug warm in your hands still
Tea gone cold but you don’t care
Sky so wide it feels infinite
You point and shout
Look. There

Dartmoor hares in the summer
Wild hearts breaking from cover
You run
They run
All out of breath
Grass seeds stuck to your dress
Dartmoor hares in the summer
Time slows down
Then it stutters
If I could hold one blazing frame
I’d keep this hill
Your hair
Their names

Heather hum
Distant river
Heat haze over the stones
You say
This will be forever
Like forever’s something we own
They freeze
Ears high
Then scatter
Across that rippling green
My hand catches your shadow
You slip right through my fingers
Clean

Dartmoor hares in the summer
Wild hearts breaking from cover
You run
They run
All out of breath
Grass seeds stuck to your dress
Dartmoor hares in the summer
Time slows down
Then it stutters
If I could hold one blazing frame
I’d keep this hill
Your hair
Their names

Years roll past like the weather
Maps fold soft at the seams
Still I walk that same high heather
Chasing echoes
Chasing dreams
Every path leads back to
That sudden burst of fur and light
Your voice is near in the afterwards
In the bright sky of my heart

Dartmoor hares in the summer
Wild hearts breaking from cover
You run
They run
All out of breath
Grass seeds stuck to your dress
Dartmoor hares in the summer
Time slows down
Then it stutters
If I could hold one blazing frame
I’d keep this hill
Your hair
Their names
Dartmoor hares in the summer
Dartmoor hares in the summer

Until it's Light Again

Clock says 3 and the ceiling's just staring back at me
Tried counting breaths tried praying under tangled sheets
Every little ache feels louder in the quiet air
Reach for any thought that doesn’t end up back in here

So I just watch the dark
Wait it out again
Hold my breath and hold my chest
Till this restless aching ends
If I can make it through this night
one small hour, then one more then
Maybe it won’t hurt so hard
When it’s light again

Phone face down, too tired to talk, too wired to dream
Shadows on the wall, draw maps of everywhere I’ve been
Every what-if, every maybe that I pushed aside
Comes and sits with me, like it’s got all the time

So I just watch the dark
Wait it out again
Hold my breath and hold my chest
Till this restless aching bends
If I can make it through this night
One small hour, then one more then
Maybe it won’t hurt so hard
When it’s light again

I whisper, just keep going, keep going to the cracks in my voice
I don’t have to fix it all I just have to outlast this noise

So I just watch the dark
Name the minutes as they spin
Hold my breath and hold my chest
Let the tears fall where they land
If I can make it through this night
One small hour, then one more then
Maybe I’ll remember how to breathe
When it’s light again
When it’s light again

It's Just Me

It's just me
Me
Myself
And I
Until I die
In bed alone
My room is cold
I'm all alone
No one to hold
I need a clone
It's just me
Me
Myself
And I
I wonder why
I wonder why

I'm gonna get you back
You back
You back
You back
You back
I said I'm gonna get you back
You back
You back
You back
You back
I said I'm gonna get you back
You back
You back
You back
You back
I said I'm gonna get you back
You back
You back
You back
You back

'Cause it's just me
Me
Myself
And I
Until I die
In bed alone
My room is cold
I'm all alone
No one to hold
I need a clone
It's just me
Me
Myself
And I
I wonder why
I wonder why

Gonna get you back
You back
You back
You back
You back
I said I'm gonna get you back
You back
You back
You back
You back
I said I'm gonna get you back
You back
You back
You back
You back
I said I'm gonna get you back
You back
You back
You back
You back

It's just me
Me
Myself
And I
Until I die
In bed alone
My room is cold
I'm all alone
No one to hold
I need a clone
It's just me
Me
Myself
And I
I wonder why
I wonder why

Long Goodbye

Light fades now
Empty room
Echoes stay
From our tune

Names we wrote
On those days
Time moves on
It cannot stay

End of day
It’s over now
No more words
No need, no how
It was good
It was true
Thanks, my friends
For all we knew

Roads split wide
We move on
Different skies
Same old song

Close the page
Let it go
What we had
We’ll always know

End of day
It’s over now, over now
No more words
No need, no how, no how
It was good
It was true, it was true
Thanks, my friends
My love to you
My love to you
My love to you
