MELO-D.

LAVENDER HANDS
The smell of cinnamon hung heavy in the air,
as the candle on the desk flickered in the breeze
from the badly fitter window.
His lavender hands have intentions
Stay close to keep warm.
Outside the people are marching in the snow
Flaming torches for the capital city
Heavy shoulders hung low
Swollen hands fill empty pockets.
Three stories up the buzz of the street camera drowns out our words
I’ve got so much to say but I hate talking loud
Outside the spiral winds down
We’re running out of time
But tonight darling
You’re mine.

MY ALABAMA
Is this the happiness you’ve always talked about?
I’m never happy when my guard is down.
I’m a detective now, I’m always looking back
I’m green with envy now, this heart attacks
Woo Haa!
Fingers and tongues and thighs, twist in the heavy light
I’m going to take his eyes, because you’re mine
You’re Alabama and Ill be your Clarence,
I’m going to kill everyone that’s come before
Woo Haa!
Baby put your hands around my throat
And tell me that you’ll never let me go

STATUES
Famed for your, restraint in times
Of great desire, when fear has no place
Self control has left you cold
Just relight the fire and blaze like the sun
I am nailed to the floor
Fear of desire keeping me here
Can I put my hand in yours
I wont look at you if you don’t want.
Under your spell, always
Day dreams take me over
Day dreams, take me, I could have been something
If I could wake
Day dreams take me, I could have been something
If I could wake
Feeling like a smoking gun that no body had fired
Sure but no quite sure enough to say that I’m alive
Ill be king on other worlds, before I’ve conquered mine
Just sit beside me darling, there will be no sleep tonight
Day dreams take me, I could have been something
If I could wake
Day dreams take me, I could have been something
If I could wake

ST.PETERSBURG
Slow this down, frame by frame
Show me what’s wrong with it
Show me pain, show me there’s a victim
Chocked on guilt, I can see
Another teen tragedy, it ties me down
Binds my hands together
Every head turns on masse
Screaming out “scandalous”
She’s so young, he’s so very awkward
You want this
You’ve got it
We’ll take off with the foreign dreams
St Petersburg is calling me
We’ll live like fugitives and martyrs
I’ll consult with the greats
Spit or swallow my mistakes
Everyone has to learn the hard way
Now as we take our last breath
There’s no burden, no regret
We can say, we are free to die now
You want this
You’ve got it.

BROKEN CROWN
There’s a tidal wave moving through my blood, it shakes me to the ground then picks me up
Born the single heir to a fathers curse, going to kill him or he’ll me first
Heavy black steel weighs my jacket down, warming my side with its smoking guilt
I could play the part of the fugitive, taking five shots, I’ll save one for me
Wont you ride with me, to a safer place
I just want to start again
Suddenly I’m free, former destinies
Never catching up with me
Turn the lights off turn the music down, death is at the door and he’s come for us
Knocking four times with his skinny fist, come to take back what’s rightly his
Trying to decide if my future’s worth, starting a war with the underworld
If you tell me that you’ve hade enough, I’ll take my last shot, give myself up
Wont you ride with me, to a safer place
I just want to start again
Suddenly I’m free, former destinies
Never catching up with me
Devils come, I’ll be waiting
I’ve been damned from the start.

BULLETS IN THE WALL
What’s left to die for, love is all we have
I want a cause that is keeping me alive
What’s left of freedom, show me the fight
Put me to the wall and I’ll show you what I’m thinking of
Put me to the wall and just take your aim
Keep your blindfold I want you to see the making of
Every nightmare as you take your aim
Come all you faithful, come all you damned
Plastic messiahs breathing down my neck
Come all you faithful, come all you damned
Lets get together and start again.
Put me to the wall and I’ll show you what I’m thinking of
Put me to the wall and just take your aim
Keep your blindfold I want you to see the making of
Every nightmare as you take your aim


WHITE RABBITS
I’m giving up my life to someone else’s dreams
I’ll take you by the hand, to places I don’t know
This guilt in ecstasy, it doesn’t sit with me
I’m serious too much, I look but do not touch
How can the cause of this still be the medicine
I’ve got blood on my teeth, I spit but keep the taste
I push my chest out, I am a man now
I push my chest I figure I am the last survivor
These nights are killing me, forgetting how to sleep
Drink for the sake of it, drink to feel whole again
And when my doorbell rings, I know its fate calling
And what he’s offering I know I wont resist
I’m screaming innocence, I’m screaming it’s your fault
I’m screaming leave me here so I can fade away
I push my chest out, I am a man now
I push my chest I figure I am the last survivor
Fill our glasses with temptation top me up then let me go…


PULSE
I won’t be your enemy until you say you’re mine
I wont treat you like a dog unless that’s what you like
I’m always here
I’ll be around
Every look you fire at me is saying back away
Just get your hand off of my thigh and maybe I’ll obey
I’m always here
On the ground
Stop and breath
Stop and breath
Saying things that I don’t mean to try and get a spark
What’s the use in showing up if you don’t leave your mark
I’m always here
I’ll be around
The warm pulse of regret is creeping underneath my skin
Keeping out the cold but keeping the frustration in
I’m always here
On the ground
Stop and breath
Stop and breath

VAMPIRES
Don’t leave my side, until the sun is gone
We can spend our lives, chasing dawn
In this warm twilight I’ll be king
You can be my queen, we will reign
As I run my hand down your back
You just smile at me, there’s no words
I’m facing up to the fact that this cant go on
When day comes
I’ll walk back home, this bridge my own
The peaceful waves whisper my name
I’m no Werther, I’m weak you see
I’m just one more romantic waste
I want you more than you could know
I need you more than could know
(your twisting the knife in some more)
I will wait here, existing like a car crash with no victims
Tragic but no worth your concern
And I will wait for temptation  to pick me up put me down
And set my soul on fire
On fire
On fire
On fire……..

ONCE A KING
I was once a king, but now I cannot see
The million little things that flash in front of me
Where are the heroes I used to know
My mind is bending, as my body breaks
I don’t want to fear another little waste
The sun must rise, just to set
Write down everything that goes through my head
So I don’t forget how sensation felt
Where are the heroes I used to know
My mind is bending as my body breaks
I don’t want to fear another little waste
The sun must rise, just to set
Shot out of focus, lost in the noise
The street is a forest drowning in light
The dirt on my fingers show where I’ve been
But where I am going is unknown to me
This map of bruises is no bodies guide
All that I wanted, I’m going to find

THE WINDOW
Dawn never comes, we can sleep forever
With my arm draped round your shoulder
Ill never move, I wont breath
I’d tear my eyes out just to save this moment
Oh my love, the stars stay out for us, under the window
Oh my love, we’ll never be alone, under the window
I’m torturing myself with ideas
as you smile but keep your eyes closed
We built these walls to keep the world out
but the world keeps getting closer
Oh my love, the stars stay out for us, under the window
Oh my love, we’ll never be alone, under the window
