If I returned all I should have once borrowed
but instead I stole
would my heart be devoid of all light and emotion?
A super massive black hole
If I should speak
let me speak the truth
and if I should feel
let me feel brand new
my body has known
the death of the stars
but it's you who has made
pretty lies in my heart
The prosaic nature of this human adventure
is not what I chose
but the I that now lives in this me of this myself
comes as quick as it goes
And if I must wait
will you wait with me too?
And if I can know
let me know through and through
my body believes
in the death of the stars
but my eyes only cry
for pretty lies of the heart
Well I might not be
the best person on the planet
but I know I could be the worst
Well I might not be
the best person on the planet
but I know I could be the worst
What I want is sometimes a mystery
and what I need is not so clear
what I desire is often cruel
leaves decisions just made out of fear
Well I might not be
the best person on the planet
but I know I could be the worst
Well I might not be
the best person on the planet
but I know I could be the worst
My way of living is not simple truth
my way of being is learned
which are the things that are truly important
which are the things to be spurned
Well I might not be
the best person on the planet
but I know I could be the worst
Well I might not be
the best person on the planet
but I know I could be the worst
I don't know what I am capable of
are you scared of me too?
I don't know what I am capable of
are you scared of me too?
Well I might not be
the best person on the planet
but I know I could be the worst
Well I might not be
the best person on the planet
but I know I could be the worst
Oh take me home baby
take me home tonight
cause the light makes a whole lot of dark
when it's this fuckin bright
I ain't ready I ain't ready
ready for the plight
of a desperate lonely heart
just waiting round to die
Oh some people like to think
they've got it all figured out
some people like to die inside
rather than cry and scream and shout
well I don't know just who you really are
do you hide back in the shadows
waiting to burn out bright
like a dying star
So take me home baby
take me home tonight
cause the light makes a whole lot of dark
when it's this fuckin bright
I ain't ready I ain't ready
ready for the plight
of a desperate lonely heart
just waiting round to die
Well it's safe to say that safe is not the way
to bring back life
to dying minds
I know you know this too
you've gotta take a risk
baby let's just try this right now
I'm embarrassed by thoughts that no longer
speak with any truth
thoughts that were once compelling
in an earlier stage of youth
So now I am wary
to the point of paralysis
what should I allow to move me
a place, a story, a kiss?
A kiss? A kiss?
So long now I've been waiting
I want to feel brand new
but it's just a process of fading
from black to a dark blue
If the dark is where I came from
the dark's where I belong
my heart feels so sick to say it
please tell me that I'm wrong
I'm wrong, I'm wrong
I'm wrong, I'm so wrong
And which of the pieces will meet expectation?
And which of the pieces should stay imagination?
And which of the pieces will meet expectation?
And which of the pieces should stay imagination?
Imagination
in my mind
imagination
best place to hide
imagination
in my mind
imagination
am I wasting my time?
Some really beautiful solo guitar music. Really interesting use of repetition, moments of sublime melodic release, and intensely rhythmic sections that highlight the rich possibilities of the guitar. Mark Timmins
A beautiful album of loose, warm and relaxed folk music with a twist. It's like lying down on the floor on a Sunday morning with golden sunlight streaming down on your face through a dirty window. Mark Timmins
