Red Footwear

It's just red footwear this I know
But sometimes that's all I need to know
The sand it might get stuck, stuck in the mould
But that's just time or so I've been told
We can have one more drink, just another glass of wine
We can talk it out what they're on about and it'll be just fine
They're not slippers but I'll click three times
Think happy thoughts and you can fly
I'll believe and I'll take flight
Right back to innocent nights
They're not slippers but I'll click three times
Think happy thoughts and you can fly
I'll believe and I'll take flight
Right back to innocent nights
The footwear holes and the clothes get torn
The laces lose connection slowly is gone
Beauty tarnishes what once was gold
But that's just time or so I've been told
What we used to believe in it's all gone lost in time
The gods we used to pray to the things we used to say
They're all on the pyre
They're not slippers but I'll click three times
Think happy thoughts and you can fly
I'll believe and I'll take flight
Right back to innocent nights
They're not slippers but I'll click three times
Think happy thoughts and you can fly
I'll believe and I'll take flight
Right back to innocent nights

Stones Throw Away

I might be young and in love the same
Like I was before don’t want to fight again
Don't want to recognise, the defeat in my eyes
It's been so long, since I played along
Pretend I'm fine when the world went wrong
Don't want to recognise, the defeat in my eyes
It’s a stone’s throw away to what he used to be….
It’s a stone’s throw away to what he used to be….
I know I’m work, and I mightn’t be worth
It all in the end, there’s better in this world
And I know that I’m cold….
So have your fun, and when you're done
I'll wait here all quiet on my own
And you won't recognise, the defeat in my eyes
It’s a stone’s throw away to what he used to be….
It’s a stone’s throw away to what he used to be….

Fall from the stars alone and broken
Know how to mend my wings
Before the sun has woken
Fall through the world on one another shoulders
Step by step
Through the labyrinth we don't know
Let the shadow stretch on my face and fly whilst in your arms
I know that i will be safe from any of the nights harm
My lips could be cold but not my soul in your hands
I'll fly right by your side until you join me in the night
Take from eyes and inherit sadnees
Replace with joy
In a tired heart of weakness
The power i give you fills me with a fear
The one power on this earth to destroy me
Let the shadow stretch on my face and fly whilst in your arms
I know that i will be safe from any of the nights harm
My lips could be cold but not my soul in your hands
I'll fly right by your side until you join me in the night
(I, I'll fly in the night, I will fly in the night)
All of the light couldn't take flight
Even if these blue eyes turn grey
Even if the memories are in the clouds at the end of the day
So hold, hold my heart in your hands
And it will beat for you always
It will still remain for you long after this body decays

Loveless
03:08

The Wednesdays that you used to make yourself feel alive
Refused to try to care if I even survived
I lay down at your feet, the martyr I saw
Craved what you couldn't give that I've never had before
Loveless with an iron touch
Loveless with your eyes
Loveless when I held you so close to me at night
Loveless with and iron touch
Loveless with your eyes
Loveless with a fragile heart so I can't say I'm surprised
The craving still remains the hunger that I quench
In all the false freedoms that pour and become drenched
I dance in circles with all these strangers in the night
In the hollow hands of lovers that make me feel alive
Loveless with an iron touch
Loveless with your eyes
Loveless when I held you so close to me at night
Loveless with and iron touch
Loveless with your eyes
Loveless with a fragile heart so I can't say I'm surprised

Victory Gin

That milestone changes some peoples heart
Creates a divide
Now you think you're better than who you are
You might be right
You took the truth and you twist the tale
Not sure where you heard the lie
Throw a bone when you think you regret
"We'll catch up some time"
Try to forget when, you try to forget when
Try to forget when, you try to forget when
Lets not forget that I still remember when
You were once still sipping on victory gin
Crystal for you now but I remember when
Remember when, Victory Gin
Another smile in a portrait to the world
But I don't believe
Arm around another one of your girls
What a pathetic lie
Human contact never looked like brute force
But it is when you deny
Lets not forget that I still remember when
You were once still sipping on victory gin
Crystal for you now but I remember when
Remember when, Victory Gin

By the Night

A bespoke beauty by the heavens for a godless age
Heretic is what you are because it’s all the rage
I attack with a verbal mine field
You make contact hands around my throat
Not a breath to take
I attack with a verbal mine field
You make contact hands around my throat
I could fight back but I think I love it
Can tell you feel it and that’s what we’re all about
We’re are lovers and beauty acolytes
Because love is sacred, and we prey by the night
You hold me close and I feel it in my bones
Because love is sacred, and we prey by the night
Heaven and hell met, collided
The gods decided
A mystery to everyone’s life
I’m no exception tonight
I attack with a verbal mine field
You make contact hands around my throat
I could fight back but I think I love it
Can tell you feel it and that’s what we’re all about
We’re are lovers and beauty acolytes
Because love is sacred, and we prey by the night
You hold me close and I feel it in my bones
Because love is sacred, and we prey by the night
We’re are lovers and beauty acolytes
Because love is sacred, and we prey by the night
You hold me close and I feel it in my bones
Because love is sacred, and we prey by the night
