Suddenly the time shoots a warning
The strange sky’s aglow with an orb of the most unrelenting light
Darkness that burns
The hardness of concrete –the sirens, the engines - a wall of warnings
Left muffled, untended
The heart, it scratches and itches through stitches of a wound never closing
Chorus:
The filter shifts through the greys, empty bottles and trays
Scattered in waves off a beach no one saved
Remember the sound of glass striking the ground
Hearts that pound and a silence profound
Verse 3:
Moving through chaos the figures they shift in a blur
underwater reflections that twist and cast shadows
On time-struck eyes
Chorus
A spiral of winding steps leads up to an escape
Gasping through cracks – past shadows that play
The rush of air at the top steals at your breath
A mirror stares but never reflects
Chorus:
The filter shifts through the greys - empty bottles and trays
Stretched in waves off a beach no one saved
Remember sweet whispers and laughter that once echoed after
Hearts that pound
Bridge
The scene echoes on
It mocks in disdain
Shouts “forget this world
Make this feeling end”
Your eyes are open now
And suddenly the sky is the ground
And you are flying now
Fly away now

The Road (Shackles)

Hush now child, the dawn is breaking
I’ll be coming home soon
Don’t worry child, the world is safe now
I will never leave you alone
Frightened child, there is so much you need to know
Shackled to your youth
Silence begs for truth
There’s no needle that can mend
Take this my friend
The numbness needs to end
Every tear - a memory excised
It drains from your eyes
She pulls and pulls a thin thread set to unravel
She uses her illusions well
Her soul is faded - the light is almost out
There’s no one left to tell
Frightened child – please don’t be afraid
Shackled to your youth
Silence begs for truth
In darkness you can mend
A spark can be a friend if you let it in
Every flicker it re-ignites
To bring fever to the fight
Shelter your lions
Don’t demonise them
Let the echoes roar
Frightened child, now do you understand?
These shackles are your youth
In silence you witness truth
But in silence you can mend
Be the light at darkness’ end and rise again
The road is long my friend
Let us walk together then
Don’t worry child, the world is safe now
