Gold Soul

I am not a one
who'll leave you trembling
like wings in the wind
but you breathe life into my lungs
when you tell me where you came here from
I am not a one
who's worth remembering
but you disagree
and it feels nice to know someone's skin
better than the room we're in
I am not a one
who'll open doors for you
or show you the truth
but you pour gold into my soul
when you aren't in a rush to go

Is It Daunting?

opening my eyes
don't know where I am
don't recognise the room
don't feel like the same man
I remember lying next to you in bed
optimism in my breast
good things down the road for me
why, oh why can't I feel like that again?
the time I liked the best
emotions could explode from me
is it daunting
to lose that?
not when I was losing it anyway.
is it daunting
to be here?
not when I'm in company like yours...
not when I'm with people like your friends.

No Stranger

I'm no stranger
to disappointment
I must enjoy it...I must
'cause I've let down
so many people
who put their love in
my trust
I've tried hoping
I've tried kidding on
I've tried acting
like there's nothing wrong
I've tried harder
I've tried wishing
that this time
could be different
maybe if I was more of a man, I'd face the facts
I'm only going to hurt you more the longer this lasts
I'm no villain
but I can see why
you'd think I was the bad guy
living in my home
it's no one thing
that scared me
it just hit me
I'd rather be alone
when my failures came, and I blamed you
you apologised...wasn't I supposed to?
wasn't it me who caused you to cry
(then forced you to smile)
and sat idly by?
maybe if I was more of a man, more of the time
I wouldn't be so angry at you so much of the time.

Glimmer

roses in the toilet
my back against the wall
I didn't want to spoil it...
but I didn't feel anything at all.
what am I going to do
if I have to live here forever?
I would ask of you
if this wasn't just a temporary measure
will you come and comfort me-sing and soothe?
golden eyes are glimmering in my room
and I'll be me soon.

Hand

come over, and I'll change
we can talk, and we can swap names
like no-one ever made you famous
like you've never played this game
but it's alright...you don't have to choose sides.
it's fine; my bark's worse than my bite
I want to watch you wake up in the winter's light
yeah, I want you...I just don't want to see you tonight
gloss over the good parts
pretend that you've got a whole heart
like no-one's ever known your secrets
like you've not already heard all mine
like you didn't feel the same as I did
waiting for the winter's light
but it's alright...you don't have to choose sides.
it's fine; my bark's worse than my bite
I want to watch you wake up in the winter's light
yeah, I want you...I just don't want to see you tonight
