MY BODY IS WRACKED IN PAIN
IT'S THE BACK AGAIN
AND THE ANGER RISES
WILL IT EVER BE THE SAME?
...

i watched the sun fade and die
in a dismal sky
and the darkness come creeping in
darkness the like of which i'd never seen
...

A GOOD MAN STARES BLANKLY AT THE WALL
A HOLLOW STALKING
MARKING HIS HEART
MAKING HEAVY IT'S EVERY RISE
...

Go then
As i know you must
But in this one thing
Believe me, you can ever trust
...

Sweet mother
For you i weep
And wonder how it is
That in our beds at night
...

PRAISE BE
AT LAST!
I HAVE SOMEONE WHO READS ME?
ALL HOPE WAS SINKING FAST
...

LISTEN TO THE CRY WITHIN
TO BE HAPPY IS NOT A SIN
BUT HAPPINESS IS HARD FOUND
AND CONTENTMENT, LAYS THIN ON THE GROUND
...

TIME TO STOP FIGHTING
THE FADED LIGHT
TIME TO GO SOFTLY
INTO THE NIGHT
...

I'LL GO DOWN THE LANE
AND KNOCK FOR THE BEARDED
BABIES AGAIN
PERHAPS THEY'LL JOIN ME
...

AM I AS BAD AS HER?
AM I NOT WORSE
THOUGH SHE NOW BEARS DOEN UPON ME
WORDS BITTER AND TERSE
...

MY SOUL IS HEAVY
MY HEART HOLLOW
AS BLINDLY ON I GO
WHERE TO?
...

ALL I ASK FOR IS TO REMAIN
JUST THE RIGHT SIDE
OF SANE.
THAT, AND A LITTLE FAME!
...

A bitter sweet childhood
within safe stony keep
of a northern back street
where i once looked to the moon
...

What of foundations built
Upon trust and loyalty
Now slipping away as though mountain scree
And what do i really know of you
...

Dark Mournful skies weep
For a soul to gentle
This souless world to keep
There bitter tears
...

For the love of a good woman
i would give gold
for they are your strenth
lest you grow weak and old
...

THE LOVELYNESS OF YOUR SKIN
TO LIE THERE WITHIN
TO FEEL IT'S EVERY FOLD
TO HAVE YOU HARBOUR ME FROM COLD
...

IN THIS BIG BED ALONE I LIE
AND TO MAKE SENSE OF IT TRY
BUT IN TRUTH I KNOW NOT WHY
STILL, NO REASON TO CRY
...

I WANT OUT
BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW
CAGED SO LONG
UNABLE TO FLY
...

ON TILL DAWN
AND A NEW DAY
PERHAPS WE CAN MAKE IT
ANYWAY
...
