The Flood
Verse
Blackbird on high, strays far from home
A look to his face that says leave me alone
Where does he fly? What’s left behind?
The world in his eyes under burnt orange skies
Blackbird on high
Strays far from home
Blackbird on high
Leave him alone
Chorus
The bridges set ablaze, engulfed in the sea of flames
The night’s cries dissipate beneath the crackling fire’s rage
The hilltop’s scorched remains, a scent that can’t be erased
What’s left, turn your tail, fly away black bird, fly away.
Verse
Blackbird rests now where none could throw stone
Ocean’s lay still between he and his home
Where does he lie? What’s left behind?
Under silence of night on the wind hear his cry
Blackbird rests now
None could throw stone
Blackbird rests now
Leave him alone

When You’re Gone
Verse 1.
Gone, gone away, just beep beep and a wave, then you leave.
Steal my heart for the day, in the passenger side heading down the motorway,
where it’s safe.
By your side it will stay
Chorus.
I know ohhh I’ll see you end of day
And I know ohhh you’ll not let my heart break
Yes I know ohhh but its got me spinning out
All alone ooohhh when you’re gone
Verse 2.
Gone, gone away, see life drains from each vein so don’t be late.
Yes, we all need a wage but it’s costing me each time you take my heart to that place.
Stay with me and by your side I’ll remain

Mirror Mirror
Verse 1.
The devil must have taken my eyes cause all I see in front of me I despise.
Reflection taints this silver glass, salt stained skin framed in brass.
The devil must have taken your ears, defended them to my cries ‘cause all you do is help to feed my fears.
Each word shackles and chains, locked in a gaze, alone…
Bridge
Alone
Alone
Chorus
Mirror, mirror by the door, by the door, where I once saw a son before.
The apple of a father’s eye who’s only limit was the sky.
Husband, best friend, a lion to cubs, protector, provider, the one she loves.
Mirror, mirror by the door, by the door, where is this man I once stood before.
Verse 2.
The devil must have stolen my words, this acid tongue a mask for the hurt
Burns deep, flesh to the bone, nothing spared, no scraps for the crows.
The devil must have control my mind these thoughts corrupting leaving nowhere to hide.
Forever trapped by the frame, locked in a gaze, alone…
Bridge
Alone
Alone

Rain
Verse 1
She sits by the bedside awaiting a call
No she’s not expecting, just needs to talk
But not for the rain that patters on pane,
But not for the rain she would hear nothing.
As frail as an Autumn leaf awaiting the cold
Just a voice in the wind could break the hold
But not for the rain that patters on pane,
But not for the rain she would hear nothing.
PreChorus
Round and round, fall asleep, one day into next
Don’t knock on the door
Round and round, not a peep, mama needs her rest
She’ll be good in the morn
Chorus
And so calling into the air
“I need you”
“I need you”
Calling into the air
“I need you”
“I need you”
Lost in the night, a scream now a whisper
Verse 3.
The tears have dried up, not one more will fall
Just cracks in her skin like the paint flaked walls
But not for the rain that's pelting her frame,
But not for the rain she would feel nothing.
