This isn’t war. I’ve run out of words. There’s nothing more to say. Like paper airplanes, ready to launch. Head in the clouds, no backing down. We spiral every time. We crash and burn ‘cause we’ve said it all before. Woe betide we do it some more. Tell it to the birds. Actions speak louder than words.

Intuition for the repetition is about to explode. By definition your superstition controls the pattern of thought. Drop the microphone. It’s not like we haven’t been here before. Wake up and leave well alone. Stop the charade. Give me space. Tell it to the birds. Actions speak louder than words.

Words mean nothing without actions galore. A glutton for food for thought. I’m starving because we dine alone. Near or far, where are you in that head of yours? Express to me integrity, sincerity, instead of the belly of the beast Mercy, tell it to the birds, ’cause actions speak louder than words.

Stored in the corners of my mind, distant memories come back to me like a whisper in the wind. Does my head betray me if I only remember you being unkind? And honestly, could it be the language of love leaves me deaf, dumb and blind? Lost in the passage of time? I’ll tell it to the birds because your actions are too hard to find.

Intuition…tell it to the birds.
Superstition…tell it to the birds.
Like Paper Aeroplanes…actions speak louder than words
Whisper in the wind…too hard to find.

Tell It To The Birds

All lost at sea, no port of call
Only you can save me
You’ve hurt me more than you could ever know
People ask me what I put up with you for
I can’t explain it, you always prove me wrong
It must be something about when the lights are low
It’s kind of funny, cos I always come back for more
Ha ha, but no more

*He doesn’t know I know, but
He tries to endure the only emotion he can’t control
No, I didn’t crash and burn
No, not at all
So (explicit) fxxx off! / (clean) do one!*

He comes around each day
Begs and pleads me to stay
Then chases me away
So much disregard, warp-speed
Pushes me too hard and too far
His mission was my downfall
Lost his soul in a black hole
Maybe in another time and place, he could fill this space
That is, until we hit that wall
So (explicit) fxxx off! / (clean) do one

*Repeat*

I recall Venice and how you admire a good heart
I’m the happy ending, but we are always apart
You second, my opinion oh, how smart you are
I bet you wish you could read my thoughts
Anticipation, frustration, jealousy at your core
Isolation, suffocation, you are tearing me apart
I gave you all my money and I still don’t know what for
Your sunshine, my moonbeam
Slipping amongst the stars
You could’ve been mine, and I yours
Until you’re loving went off-line
Goodbye!

*Repeat*
*Repeat to fade*

Control

Nothing can hurt me in my music box
The line of divide, limbo to hedonistic heights
But the element of surprise, such as life
Stay sharp, fake heart frame of mind
Oh, the dance of seduction in the dark

Chorus
The one you want to dance with isn’t so hard to hold
Lights down low, let the inhibitions flow
Rock the rock ‘n’ roll (The music fades)
Where did you go?
You’re dancing so low, so low, solo

When you lead nothing is scary
No more frightening
The world disappears
The music slow, cheek to cheek, toe to toe
My tango Romeo, did I lose control?
Cos you can’t lose what you never owned
Oh, the heart I never stole

Chorus

You didn’t find someone else to stroke that ego
So here you are back on the floor, adios, ciao, au revoir
Running man away from you
The quickstep champion
Nothing more to prove

Chorus

You dance into the darkness and I hold onto hope
Looking for permission to let go
So come on, hurt me some more
Give me the reason to move on

You’re sorry, you’re sorry, you’re sorry again
Like an outlaw, appear when the coast is clear
So let’s play pretend
Cha-cha-cha until your waltz out of time again

You’re sorry, you’re sorry, you’re sorry again (to fade)

Solo

Staring out the window when my head should be on the pillow
full of dreams of you
Trapped in limbo trying to find a way to pull through
A world away, what more can I do?
My head is spinning, stuck in a loop
Wondering if I’ll ever come to?

I feel like I’m under a spell
I can’t control myself
Trapped inside a paradoxical digital hell

I want to love you like a passion going out of fashion
You’re the only thing I want to do
My mind seems lost forever
I bet you think you’re really clever
since I melted underneath you

I feel like I’m under a spell
I can’t control myself
Still trapped inside a paradoxical digital hell

Fifty-fifty frustrating and intoxicating
‘cause I’m anticipating my lips on you
Mentally undressing, fingertips caressing
My nerves are showing, I wonder if you can tell?
The moment we happened like fatal attraction
I’m never letting go of you

I feel like I’m in hell
I can’t control myself
It’s a paradoxical digital spell

Staring into space because you’re a world away
I have no more resistance
Come and close this distance
Give in to my will
I feel like I’m under a spell
I can’t control myself
Locked inside a paradoxical digital hell

Love-doxical matrix
XXO 404 (to fade)

Digital Love

Before you start
Take a deep breath
Try to stay calm
Shy sunshine, alive in the dark
The world at your feet
Repeat after me
Everyone is an enemy
Is it too perfect, his and hers matching scars?
It’s only a matter of time
Before we are at each other’s arms

Time is a killer
Don’t you just hate being right?
Pull the trigger
Go straight for the knife
Do or die!

Just another story, sure to fail
Heroes and villains, grim fairytales
Ego tripping, who are you kidding?
Never to change your ways
We’ve played all the games
You’ve pushed all the blame
Manipulated ultimatums
You’ve dug your own grave

Chorus

This is the last time you let me down
So many lies, I’ve lost count
This is the last time you make me sad
I’m not here for it
You never had my back
This is the last time you make me wait
I refuse to waste another day

Time is a killer
Don’t you just hate being right?
Pull the trigger
Go straight for the knife
Do or die!

It’s do or die (repeat to fade)

Do or die

You are a lifeguard with the key to my heart
A mermaids random reckless abandon
When my head is underwater, keep me close
Land on the horizon, take me to the shore
When the air is thick and the hurricane set to blow
Keep me calm like water with the rain at full force

(Chorus)
Love is a lure
It lights a fire
Keeps you warm
Reels you in
Keeps you afloat

All hands on deck in the darkness
Poseidon looking for pearls
Lost in a lovers arms
Compass spinning out of sorts
Tidal waves hit like a storm
Unrivalled plot, no match for this course

(Chorus)

Birds fly, clouds high, seagulls cry
Lost for words at your navigation
Sailing to the stars
Seafarers tales, broken shells
Pirates climb aboard
Love the lure of bounty reward

(Chorus)

I don’t know how I got here
I heard a siren call
Too deep amongst the rocks
Too afraid to follow my heart
Like some kind of magic
A lighthouse of black arts

Catching feelings

Oh, I can’t cope with your horror scope
I bow out gracefully
Danced into the fire, burnt and sore
Sincerely, never yours
Chakras collide, losing time, bodies aligned
And at the back of my mind, constellations shine
Lost in the spell of time

*Blowing kisses, goodbye
The curtain call stalls
No escape, thee encore
The rose falls to the floor
It’s time to go home*

Flattered by the fanfare
Hex devotion, secret potions
Numb and sidelined
But the future is still mine
Monsters in the past
Don’t look behind
There’s smiles yet to find
Epiphanic discoveries
Zodiac trophies
A life to redefine

Blowing kisses, goodbye
The curtain call stalls
No escape, thee encore
The rose falls to the floor
It’s time to go home

Blowing kisses in the wind
Curtsy and smile
No encore, no none at all
It’s time to go solo

I bow out disgracefully
Play the game, fan the flames
Opportunities to explore
Sincerely, never yours
Red flag those cads
Shine with the best
Beware of crash and burn
And the spell of time

*Chorus*

Horror scope

(Chorus)
Don’t wanna be the Queen of mean
But my blood is boiling
And I know where you’ve been
So it seems to me it’s time for a release
Peace, sleep thief

Our elements bond and you feed me with lies
Holding back the fears, while trying to stabilise
On the receiving end of you trying to deceive
You never make it easy for me
I better stand and deliver before you sell me down the river
Because the minute you cross the line, the rules cease to apply

Chorus

Worlds are defined by coastlines
Like a tsunami splashing from coast to coast
I’m coasting on the border of your pride
Like a cyclone, you spin my head the most
This storm I cannot ride

Chorus

You are no friend of retribution
Talking yourself into a situation
Suppose, I’m only interested in solution
But you can’t resist temptation
So I’m just another victim of your unbridled frustration

Chorus

There is no way we could deny each other’s pain
Take refuge, take cover
He’ll change the rules of the game
It’s beyond belief, but I think I see
You must be a sleep thief

Sleep thief

About Me

Bio

I would rather sell ‘all rights’ and still be credited.
Although I do have my lyrics out there where the performer is credited.
No featured lyrics are licence free. All are fully copyright protected and entirely my own until paid for otherwise.

CV/History

I do not endorse AI as artistry.
I do not write music and there are many reasons why I don't.
1)Any given lyrics can fit many a genre. Adding my own music would only limit and pigeonhole the lyrics full potential from a potential buyer 2) It makes more sense for a singer to sit down and jam the words with a musician, putting their own style in collaboration to form a whole song how they want it. 3)To me people don't write music but compose, as in an orchestral score rather than splice up a series of repetitive noises to form a track. I guess I must have snob ears, hence only a mind for lyrics.
