Lyrics

BLACK UNICORN

It’s a lonely dark road you’ve been travelling on
Each step is filled with your memories and song
They’ve confined you
Let them bind you

You’re stirring your cup with your little white hands
Your dreams are so close but you don’t understand
I will find you
When you’ve time to

You’re closing ‘the book’ for the last time you’ll read
You let out a sigh that’s so heavy you can’t breathe
To go on through
But you’ve longed to

You stare in the mirror at the silvery haze
Your beauty so rare, but intense is your gaze
You can’t find you
In your mind’s zoo

There’s a knock on the door of a friend you’ve forgotten
You try hard to smile but your dark eyes have spoken
It’s too late to
Ever reach you

And away you float on your Black Unicorn
You’re loved and you’re missed but it’s too late, what’s done
You weren’t wrong to
Ever leave so soon

IF I FALL

Quiet contemplation of
The singing of my melody
Solitary fantasies
Tease my misplaced loyalty

If I fall down, would you leave me enslaved
If I fall down, would you walk on my grave
If I fall down

Dissonance and elegance
Introverted resonance
Bitterness and apathy
Adorn your mediocrity

If I fall down, would you leave me enslaved
If I fall down, would you walk on my grave
If I fall down

Galileo, Constantine
You seem to know life’s mysteries
Twisting my seclusion ‘round
To suit your own delusions found
Livid in hostility
Confirms your insecurities
Swallows sweep the twilight sky
Of yesterday’s absurd goodbye

SECRETS

I fell in love with the way that you held
My face so soft in your hands
The secret’s broken
Words lay unspoken
We danced alone in the sand
I first met you the day you decided to sail for miles and miles
My heart was broken
Words lay unspoken
You sailed away in the night

Years went by and my life was on trial
When I saw you enter my room
Your voice was as deep as the chasms you’d crossed
To find your way back to you
My mother’s broken
Words lay unspoken
Your kisses burn my soul

The burdens you carried, so graceful and strong
Alone you travelled on
Smashing your hands through the walls that confined you
You swam but you couldn’t float
My heart was humbled
Your body lay crumpled
I never saw you again

DARKNESS

Don’t be afraid of the darkness
She will find you soon
Embellish my essence in madness
Vitrify my heathen wounds

And she falls into the darkness
And she feels her body’s doom
And she cries but you can’t feel her
Fear’s upon these walls of gloom

Kiss your lips and drink from my sadness
Frozen fire and Sapphire Maids
You lay down your Mistress of Sorrow
Sparks adrift her temptress blade

And she calls into the darkness
Swept away by Newton’s find
Sweet Desire sits in silence
Vesta calls her virgin mind

And she falls into the darkness
And she feels her body’s doom
And she cries but you can’t feel her
Fear’s upon these walls of gloom
