πΉππ ππ¦ π βπ¦ ππππ, π½πππππππ β‘
Gently hold your hand until there's nothing to be 'fraid of
If you want I'll stay behind and tell you how I love ya
I don't want to ever lose you
I want my shy girl dreaming
That my eyes are a mirror she can look in
I love my shy girl's feelings
When we dance in the stars
and we fall in the moon
and I lose all my fear
and she loses hers too
Sleeping by your side and we could calm each other down
The morning's here we're floating in the sky beneath the clouds
You say you don't want to lose me too
I want my shy girl dreaming
That my eyes are a mirror she can look in
I love my shy girl's feelings
When we dance in the stars
and we fall in the moon
and I lose all my fear
and she loses hers too
Hold you by my side and if you kiss me that's okay
I just want you to be loved - I just don't know what I'd say
We don't want to lose each other
I want my shy girl dreaming
That my eyes are a mirror she can look in
I love my shy girl's feelings
When we dance in the stars
and we fall in the moon
and I lose all my fear
and she loses hers too

Barry Williams' Day Off
02:00
|
|

See the riders
On the horizon
Take my mind off things
See them bleeding
Everywhere
All the things that we have seen
Why should I cry?
When no-one sees me

Snow
01:39
|
|
||
|
When the people are alone
The light is harder to find because of the snow
When the sky begins to dim
There's a chance that you're afraid of their every whim
He will kill you
But you won't know where he's been
She'll control you
But you won't know what else she's touched
Designed by love, and manipulated
Of fours and whys, when no-one is right
We were wrong...

(instrumental)
πΌπΌ - πππππ‘
Standing against the stars
The earth's a marble rolling far
There is no day, no night, no dreams
Out here in the cold you can't even scream
I'd be afraid but I cannot
be fearful of what is and what is not
I've lost my balance only once before
but now I'm losing it some more
Drifting alone...
Drifting alone...
πΌπΌπΌ - πππ‘π’ππ'π πΊπππ

πΌπ - ππππππ ππππ’π πΉππππππ
Falling into diamond rain
Conscious thought leaves my weary brain
Humanity's last hope forever shamed
As Jovian clouds swallow my pain
I once had thought I would succeed
But now death's angel's following me
Between the giant planet's rings
Where I may die alone and not free
All I wish is one last time
Talk to her, apologize
To make amends and say goodbye
If I can't breathe, at least let me cry
Falling into diamond rain
No conscious thought leaves me insane
There is no day, no night, no shame
Why won't it end, I want no pain
I once had thought I could succeed
But now death's angel has caught up to me
Alone and cold, I'm not even free
Put me out of my misery
(Drifting alone... drifting alone...)

Dead Air

Oh, dead air
Oh, dead air
Oh, dead air
I met her standing there
I thought she didn't care
She left without a trace
and she smiled without grace
I saw her leave
Oh, dead air
Oh, dead air
Dead air
Now it is someone new
This time we'll see it through
No point in being hurt
I hope we'll make it work
No more dead air

Western Philosophy
01:30
|
|
||
|
The cold, beating hearts
Of the liars and the thieves
Defined by what they sell
And not what they believe
Forbidden love is a torturous game
With one-sided emotion
And heroes left to blame
Lost in a western
With no signs out for miles
I got no time for sleep
Just gotta put on this smile
A reputation's sin
is the common man's desire
but I long for the day
when we throw the gold in fire

Star Princess
02:15
|
|
||
|
I want nothing more than to be
with you in the light of day and
night and to warm you when you
cry and be there...
Stay by my soul, Star Princess
I want to hold your hand gently
Love me do, if I will, then will you
too? From me to you, it's something
truly new
Stay by my soul, Star Princess

Sow the seeds of time
I am sorry
But everything must reach its end
Eventually
And though I have an answer
To what you asked me
But we all know and we all see
How time can change things
I believe in the night skies
I may not lead it but it leads me
And through and through, I'll see the sunlight
Glimmers of hope - that everything can be okay
Delusions, they say
or mockingly laugh
They think I can't do it
But I'll prove them wrong
Tomorrow I'll show them what I will do
By not showing them a damn thing at all
I believe in the night skies
I may not change it, but it changed me
And though I may never see sunrise
The glimmers of hope will shine through me anyway

Isaac Riley recommends:
-
Flight of the Knife
by Bryan ScaryA wonderfully over-the-top album inspired by early Queen and progressive rock, easily one of the best albums most people have never heard.
go to album -
Really loud and abrasive post-punk oddball music. Is it strange? Completely. Delightful? 100%
go to album -
Soundtrack to the Clearance Bin
by theEndlessVacuumA close friend of mine's alternative rock project. Really catchy stuff here, if you're into that sorta thing (and let's be honest, we all are).
