The Jar

Perhaps in the future we wont remain
on this occasion I'm willing to say it's with no doubt
I have no doubt
we whistle on through and we dance as we do
get caught up in nets
bleach our brains with tattoos
hanging on for something good
hanging on never did anyone any good
and well, I thought you left me a clue
look at me
like a moth in a jar
like a moth in a jar as the Earth shakes
I plan my escape
Lately waitings been searing my skin
lately waitings been searing my skin
lately waitings been burning me out from within
lately waitings been searing my skin
lately waitings been searing my skin
we watch TV
we nine to five
wander why it is we fear death
you are
you are
you are
you are a moth in a jar
you're a moth in a jar
you're a moth in a jar as the Earth quakes
lets plan your escape

The Space Between Sound

I'm signing out of control
really hoping you don't
you'll only hear me when my heart beats out of my clothes
try not to panic
I try to liberate minds
try to recognise my flaws and shut them out of my time
I think you raise me
I hope you did a good job
I love you so much it hurts
I only feel you in verse
my arms are aching
my body
my bones
I can take it
now, I'm still half in
you're wholly out
come to recognise my body
I have my own love
head on fire or not
empty boxes
strung wire
my thoughts on my thoughts are
if you just listen in
if you just listen through
everything windows to
everything windows to
this is heaven sent
I have come to believe
I just want to belong
I am not unique
and I'm still half in
you're wholly out
come to recognise my body, baby
I have my own love
head on fire or not
head on fire or not
head on fire or not
head on fire
now I'm still half in your holy house
come to recognise my body as the space between sounds
(if you don't know me by now)
I have my own love
(I am the space between sound)
head on fire or not
(I am the space between sound)

Vessels

Don't remember the past like its a necklace worn without your consent
that dream you had
that brought you to the things you are yet to be
coax the serpent from the grass
understand the motive for its madness
be transient and free
yet find permanence within yourself
you
be still
stiller still
how closed eyes amplify the light you lose
when the child inside you dies
and will
will you choose that ladder out of view?
that open window through to...
I could barely tell which was brighter
the walls or the bed sheets
or your pure heart
I grabbed that letter both hands squeezed tight
and dragged it across the floor
no words were exchanged as you slept so softly
(you are not your vessel my love)
eyes closed
unaware
unabashed
unashamed
and I tore it in three
three separate pieces
(you are not your skin and bones)
three whole years together defeated
with a single cold day throw it all in the harbour
(you are not your vessel my love)
look back on it now with that exact question resounding
(you are not your skin and bones)
the silence makes me strive to be more
if nothing else thank you
that is love
that is love
that is love
(and wherever you go)
and maybe I will always lose my way
(and wherever you go)
and you might not be there to pick me up again
(and wherever you go)
but the journey is the letter
together us a vessel
I know what I want and I'm still on that bridge
(know I'm still on that bridge)
Robyn it's yours
Robyn it's yours
Robyn will you marry me?
I held your face and I saw right through to the real you
and I wanted it bad
but I needed it more
and I love you
I love you
I told you.

What puts us here?
some act of love in oils unshuffled around
would you have?
if it was your call
have signed up for it all and jumped
we are all in a cage
working it out
I've been over you before
you shine in light from cracks under doors
and I am in awe
I am in awe
I am in awe
I am in awe
and you are the queen
you are the queen
of shadow puppetry
you command an army
they march at your hand
everyone listens when
you take the stand
and I am in awe
I am in awe
I am in awe
I am in awe
all the shivers
all the screams
all that slumbers
inside me
come for me
come
you are the queen
you are the queen
you are the queen
you are the queen
and I am in awe
I am in awe
singing ...
