Melon hats and Marmelade


In description he is
A soft spoken strawberry fizz

A habit made of tenure
policing moral failure

A love for sensitivity
drowned in cotton candy

But I'm losing control

I lost my handle

Sight of the goal

lost in the haze

Before everything fades
into melon hats and marmelade

Something in Between

Stuck within your thoughts

And moments that won't end

You pleaded for perdition

But heaven got in your way

What a shame

You asked me for deliverance

Prayed in churches and alley ways

But never found the words

the thoughts, the faith

Do you still remember when it snows

Small footsteps set in satin

Do you remember us as children

Do you remember the cold, the warmth

It still lingers within me

Screams my name out in agony

For a bigger place in my soul

Do you remember the cold

Because it's the only thing thats left

We all flew away, but the cold stayed

And Montreal still lies between

The thoughts that were

Those that weren't

And something in between

I didn't understand


I fell in a ocean

of things I didn't understand


I swam through my thoughts

unclear were they began


I begged for forgiveness

killing an innocent man


I tried to decipher

God's master plan


I tried to be wiser

Doing the best I can


The distance doesn't matter

only how far you ran


Forgive me Father
For the man I am

Lonely Bar Blues


Baby wipe that tear
Let those misty eyes clear

Don't let angels catch you
trying to hide away

I'm sorry for the pain
for those humid chains

But listen
And maybe you'll understand

I'll make love to you
I'll cry with you

I'll even stay
till everything's ok

I'll dance with you
Won't stop kissing you

But I'll never, babe
Fall in love again

You see
All my life
I've tried to stay away
I ran
Right at the moment
It began

And I'm no coward
Baby I'll be
straightforward

But tomorrow
There's other dreams
I'll have to follow

Yes tomorrow

Baby have no sorrow

you'll find others
When I'm gone away

And I don't want to break your heart
I just want to do what's smart

You see I've been so afraid
By the way love fades
how the fire somehow
Always tire ...

No, I won't run away
It's not a game I play
I just know ...
Other things will get in the way

You'll find different tides
A father for your child
A man who'll always be
By your side

I'll make love to you
I'll cry with you

I'll even stay
till everything's ok

I'll dance with you
Won't stop kissing you

But I'll never, babe
Fall in love again

Because


Lost within a morning
Walking through the cold

Lost within a thought
Never doing what I’m told

Talking to myself
Shaking off the mold

Praying to the city
Cause god’s gotten old

Hoping for an answer
Hoping not to fold

I’m drowning in perdition
I need a hand to hold

Because

I’ve become a tree
In a world full of stones

I’ve become silence
In a world full of songs

A preacher
In a world full of wrongs

Something still talking
When everything’s a song

And people asking
What the hell’s gone wrong


Brothers and sisters
dissapeared all gone

Just bums and drifters
With nowhere left to run

Old bars and blisters
Who hid me from the sun

Misses and misters
Your judgement weighs a ton

Kisses and kissers
Whisky and some fun

And people asking
What the hell’s gone wrong


Because

I’ve become a tree
In a world full of stones

I’ve become silence
In a world full of songs

A preacher
In a world full of wrongs

Something still talking
When everything’s a song

And people asking
Son what the hell went wrong

Mother forgive me
Daddy please beware

I’ve become a pawn
In the devil’s affair

Forgot about dawn
In my woman’s stare

I’ve become a pilot
Who can’t fly anywhere

Cause I’ve become a Man
In a world full of drones

I’ve become violence
In a world full of moans

A feature
In a world full of knowns

I reap the seed
Of exactly what I sown

And always people ask me
What the hell went wrong

Dance me to the end



In a crowd and In a spark

Hold my hand, And look at me

All alone, In the dark

Big blue Moon
And Sad brown eyes

Yes It's just a part of me
somehow just some part of me

Will you please, please
Stay till the song is over

Please, Please
Dance me till it stops

Please, please
Lean in and

Take my breathe away
Tonight ...

I dream of flying over
Run for cover, now.

Dark clowds are taking over
Find your savior now.

Will you please, please
find me, cause I lost myself

Please, please
Try to make me trust myself

Please, please
Lean in and

Take my breathe away

Tonight ...

Perdition



At the silent trickle of dawn



No man's land awakens

Where not a word is spoken


And all is already lost



Flags and flares
Full of Stars

Ghostly stares

And the turnstiles to perdition

Where all may apply
