Verse
Salt water and micro-beads flowing
Water is licking at my feet
I'm resigned with a sense of knowing
Skimming pebbles down the street
Inflatable kayak sales growing
Urgent delivery made by a van
Silence is broken by wheezing and blowing
Frantic inflation by a breathless man
Pre Chorus
There's nowhere to run
There's no place to go
Chorus
The Ocean Stampedes
The Ocean Stampedes

Verse
I see the tide incoming
Hypnotic waves break to and fro
Like Canute, I'm in a deck chair humming
A last defiance, that is just for show

Verse 1
Geometric patterns in the tulip fields
With precision they land, cooling petals congealed
The Nephilim arrive to the chorus of "Woo's!"
While the half cut are checking the strength of their booze
"We've travelled thru the darkness, from a lonely star"
"To act on indiscretions that we've viewed from afar"
Whispers on the wind are of screams and cries
An ancient fury burns within milky white eyes
Verse 2
With quivering lips, it's all too surreal
We're not superheroes, have no nerves of steel
"Your thoughts are of war and not the beauty within"
"Your recipe for life is violence, with a large pinch of sin"
"We provided opportunity, and the freedom to choose"
"But you lived in melancholy, and you sang the blues"
"Spare your excuses, the wherefores and whys"
"Your fates are now painted beneath Turner brushed skies"
Bridge
"Silence mortals, we've heard enough"
"Reap the whirlwind, it's death from above"
A look of rage in the midday sun
or maybe dismay at what our world had become
"Save your breath, your words are in vain"
"Brace yourselves cattle...coz here comes the pain"
Outro
Geometric patterns in the tulip fields
Humanity erased to let Mother Earth heal.
Verse 1
I wander in dreams
It's as easy as it seems
There's a crackle in my mind
Feel the spark
I wander in dreams
And apply creativity
I'm where I wanna be
Where I wanna be
Verse 2
I travel the extremes
With a reason to believe
The flexing of Aurora
Splits the dark
I'm controlling the themes
Paint a narrative for me
Oh dreaming is free
Dreaming is free
Dreaming is free
Verse 3
The hour is late
Let me linger, let me wait
As I speak to happy faces
From my past
The hour is late
Dawn breaks down the gate
I will see you again
I will see you again
Outro
Lucid dreams
Are mine to see
Are all I see
All I see
All I see

Outro
Lucid dreams
Are mine to see
Are all I see
All I see
All I see
Time passes thru us in the blink of an eye
We've disconnected, I don't understand why?
Finite resources, you have the gift of my time
I combat your silence each passing day
Echoes and memories, I hope won't fade away
Time is not a healer, I miss your face
Chorus
Wish you were here
Sorry for any heartache and pain
Hope to see you again
Before it becomes too late
How did things get so strained?
Finding distractions, I process emotions on a page
This unique grief leaves me tired, feeling my age
A sense of longing and partly destroyed
A broken heart feels like organised crime
Every passing second, I'm just biding time
I'm running on empty, feeling displaced
Chorus
I wait and hope, one day you'll darken my door
Severed lives, a needle and thread can restore
Time is not a healer, I miss your face
Chorus
Verse
Inside, I feel the sourness bite
Buttons make senses ignite
Calming music, trusted friends
30 minutes 'til I take flight
oh 'til I take flight
Pre-Chorus
Patterns and repetition
As I race across the sky
I feel so high
Oh I fly so high
Chorus
Bright Lights, Trips and Dreams
Bright Lights, Trips and Dreams
Bright Lights, Trips and Dreams
Oh Mescaline
Verse
I'm seeing sounds in slowed time
Bursts of insight, breaks the paradigm
Conversations between forbidden colours
Mount Anxiety, I need to climb
oh, I need to climb

Do I care? Not at all!
I'm headed for a fall
Ooh

I've made my bed
Slept here before
Gonna swallow the pill

V1
I'm wrapped in silence
For ideas to be born
I'm wrapped in silence
An eerie sense of isolation
I'm playing god
Pushing boundaries too far
I'm playing god
Is this too far?
Is this too far??
Chorus
Outside is a warm Summer's day
Emotional downfall, watch me disengage
Outside is a warm Summer's day
Retrace my eyes, find solace on the page
V2
My unchecked ambitions
In pursuit of creation
Immersed, no inhibitions
On this spiteful day
Pre-Chorus
I'm wrapped in silence
For ideas to be born
I'm wrapped in silence
An eerie sense of isolation
I'm playing god
Pushing boundaries too far
Is this too far?
Chorus - Repeated
Outro
Pushing Boundaries, Watch me disengage
Pushing Boundaries, Watch me disengage
Pushing Boundaries, Watch me disengage
Pushing Boundaries, Watch me disengage
A smile spreads across my face
V1
Binge Drinking?
Cries an errant voice
The game for this evening?
Tonight we roll the dice
Pre-Chorus
Nihilistic Tendencies
Mixing grapes & grain
Burning thru my wages
To onlookers disdain
Chorus
One day I'll regret this (just not today)
An addiction that's downplayed
Tomorrow I'll feel sorry
Veiled in darkness, awaiting tremors to fade
V2
Binge drinking?
Another victim to the payday curse
I'm watching a good friend
They're tasting the difference, just in reverse
Pre-Chorus
Nihilistic Tendencies
A sunken investment
You only rent the beer
Time for further refreshment
Chorus Repeated

Bridge
Another lost night
Bring on the flashbacks
Another lost night

The game for this evening?
Tonight it's buyer's choice

Enable the addiction that I've downplayed
Why won't these tremors fade?

Decided to start by writing to a theme. Selected the 7 deadly sins. (Lust, Envy? Avarice, Wrath Part 1, Wrath Part2, Gluttony. Pride and Sloth) I've kind of arrived at the rest as off-shoots to this theme. Just awaiting approval for Sloth and then "Songs for the Sins" will be complete. If anything I write is of interest please feel free to contact/ collaborate. I'm finding something cathartic in writing and wish I'd started doing it years ago.
