Redemption 03:52
I keep kicking myself over sins of the past No way of avoiding the shadows they cast Echoes of words that I've said in haste Restraining today, with yesterday's weight And I Keep Looking for Redemption Tearing strips off myself for the choices I've made Losing sight of the path; I have strayed A little boy lost in the storm as it raged Thrashing myself to make sure that I pay And I Keep Looking for Redemption Is there no hope For the wayward sinner Once his lesson's learned? Is there no light At the end of the tunnel Only bridges burned? But I Keep Looking for Redemption Hope can be cruel when it's all that you've got The more that you want it the higher the cost No rest for the sinner, you tie the knots In your own crown of thorns, as you carry your cross And I Keep Looking for Redemption

My world has changed It’s no longer certain My life rearranged In a moment of time My courage is drained There’s no one to save me This burden it seems Is no one’s but mine And I don’t See the world Quite the same My world has tipped The ground seems uncertain I seem to have tripped On an emotional mine My facade has been stripped A violently drawn back curtain Exposing the fears Buried deep in my mind And I can’t Face the world Today! And I don’t trust the ground It keeps moving beneath me I’m not sure Where to place my feet down And I don’t trust the sky It keeps railing against me I know There’s a storm coming down Don’t you feel The storm Coming down? My world has flipped I find myself in a bubble – hey! I know There’s a storm coming down Don’t you feel The storm Coming down? I don't trust the earth It keeps turning without me I'm so tired I need to lay my head down I can't close my eyes No, not for a minute I know There's a storm coming down Don't you feel The storm It’s coming down Feel it, feel it There’s a storm coming down I don’t trust my feet Don’t trust the ground Don’t trust myself There’s a storm coming down I’ve been on my knees There’s a storm coming down

7th Floor 04:45
I keep going back to the place where you lay Waiting for me to come You may have moved on but my heart lingers still The only sound I’d hear Was the sound of you breathing The rain is coming now Rain’s coming down I keep going back to the place where you lay On the seventh floor For 24 days there was just you and me The only sound I’d hear Was the sound of you breathing The rain is coming now Rain’s coming down Washing me clean Bringing me ’round I keep going back to the place in my mind Back to the seventh floor But it’s time to move on I can hold you again The only sound I hear Is the sound of your heart beating The rain has come and gone The rain is done We can breathe again We can move on The rain has come and gone The rain is done

Don’t offer a rope to a drowning man Unless you’re prepared to hold your end Don’t leave him floundering Don’t promise to save him then walk away And leave him alone to battle the waves He’s taking a pounding Your empty promises Won’t help him now Your empty rhetoric Is weighing him down Don’t offer hope to a dying man Unless you’re prepared to hold his hand Don’t leave him suffering Don’t tell him the lies that he wants to hear And leave him alone to drown in his fears Hey don’t fuck with him Your empty promises Won’t save him now Your absent silences Are bringing him down Don’t offer a rope to a drowning man Unless you’re prepared to hold your end Don’t offer hope to a dying man Unless you’re prepared to hold his hand Your empty promises Won’t save him now Your absent silences Are bringing him down Your empty promises Won’t help him now Your empty rhetoric Is weighing him down Don’t offer a rope to a drowning man Unless you’re prepared to hold your end Don’t offer hope to a dying man Unless you’re prepared to hold his hand Your empty promises Won’t save him now Your absent silences Are bringing him down Your empty promises Won’t help him now Your empty rhetoric Is weighing him down

Dreams 06:23
We’re far from the road we travelled in our younger days We’ve kidded ourselves into thinking this is ok I’m not really sure how we found ourselves here So far from the picture we painted in our younger years We both had our dreams, I guess we compromised As we hid behind smiles, wore our favoured disguise And mouthed all the platitudes the world wanted to hear We were good boys and girls, we served out our years But what about now What about us When do we live When do we live our dreams? I quite often find myself staring out into space Wondering if there is really some heavenly grace I’m looking for answers that I’ll never find I’m left with the questions that rattle around in my mind But what about now What about us When do we live When do we live our dreams? I’m sorry for all the pain that I’ve brought to ya As I wrestled these demons I thought would surely consume ya I’m not really sure how I found myself here Alone on my knees, begging for release from the fear But what about now What about us When do we live When do we live our dreams?

I twisted myself inside and out You broke my heart so many times you wore it out I threw myself at your feet so there could be no doubt C’mon baby Where’s your heart? I wore my heart on my sleeve, you let me bleed If I needed proof, some evidence to see That you only think of yourself and your selfish needs Come on baby Where’s your heart? Baby, hey Where’s your heart? Cold like the bitter winter wind Relentless like the pack ice as it slowly presses in Empty like the night without the moon and stars I‘d like to know Where’s your heart? I made a fool of myself day in day out A slave to your every whim, I was so devout I took the heat for you, and then you shut me out I got to know Where’s your heart? My mistake for thinking you had changed All the while you had me in ball and chain Like a fool I let you under my skin And you just cut through me like that bitter winter wind Cold like the darkest ocean deep Frozen like the wasteland where the winter never sleeps Empty like the night sky without the moon and stars I’d like to know Where’s your heart? I’d like to know Where’s your heart? I’d like to know Where’s your heart?

I don’t really care anymore Now that you’re gone I don’t really think of you Now that we’re done When I opened my eyes To finally see There was a cruel minded woman Looking back I won’t be sad anymore Now that you’re gone I’ll find my smile again Now I’m moving on When I opened my mind To what had been I saw a cold hearted woman And a fool of a man But I don’t really care If I tell myself these lies Maybe I’ll believe If I can fool myself (If I can fool myself) You’ll lose your power over me If I tell myself these words Over and over I’ll harden my heart I can finally let it go (Finally let it go) It’s better left alone ‘Cause I don’t really care I really don’t care When I opened my heart So I could feel once again I saw a sad empty woman (I finally let you go) Where once you had been But I don’t really care No I don’t really care Oh no, no, no, no, no

Hey You 04:40
Hey You I don’t need your explanations I don’t want you wasting my time Hey You Keep your complications I don’t want you adding to mine Like you do All of the time Hey You Is this another revelation Some epic drama that’s blowing your mind Hey You Another sad situation Don’t you know you bring it all on yourself You know you do Most of the time One day you’re up Next you’re down Yeah you drive me mad The way you’re dragging me ‘round One day you’re here Next you’re gone Ah, give me one good reason I should stay One good reason Before I’m done Hey You I don’t need your provocations Pushing at my buttons All of the time Hey You I’m done with your fabrications You can tell your story walking You can tell your story walking You’re out of time One day you’re up Next day you’re down Oh you drive me mad The way you’re dragging me ‘round One day you’re here Next you’re gone Give me one good reason I should stay One good reason Before we’re done Ah give me one good reason I should stay One good reason Before we’re done

Black Widow 05:57
Your scheming eyes, expose the darkness that’s in your mind Nothin’ but lies, ever leave your lips You tantalise, with your easy charm You mesmerise, with the sway of your hips I’m quite aware of your bite The venom that lurks in your smile I’m not seduced by your wiles Black heart of a black widow You spin your web, slowly drawin’ the poor boys in You mess with their heads, then you go for the kill Nothin’ you’ve said, has an ounce of truth A gossamer thread to wrap their poor souls in I’m quite aware of your bite The venom that lurks in your smile I’m not seduced by your wiles You’ve got the black heart of a black widow You’ve planned every move Cornered your prey, girl you’re so smooth You’re getting ready to strike Black Widow You’ve planned every move Cornered your prey, girl you’re so smooth You’re getting ready to strike Black Widow I’ve felt the sting of your bite The venom that lurks in your smile I’ve been seduced by your wiles You’ve got the black heart of a black widow You’ve got the black heart of a black widow You’ve got a black heart girl You’ve got the black heart girl of a black widow You’ve got the black heart of a black widow

Scars 04:47
If mistakes are the teachers Then I wish I’d learn I’m tired of the fallout As I crash and burn If regret is the measure Of how far we’ve come I’ve come a long way baby I’ve got more than some And I’ve got the scars to prove it If our wounds are the trophies For the battles we’ve won Then I’ve fought a million I’m a million and none So I guess I should be proud And hold my head up high I’m surviving baby And I’m in the fight And I’ve got the scars I’ve got the scars to prove it I won’t go down, without a fight I’ve faced the day, stared down the night Taken hits that brought me to my knees When life does its best to do me in I just stand my ground, take it on the chin And I’ve got the scars I’ve got the scars I’ve got the scars to prove it I’ve got the scars I’ve got the scars I’ve got the scars to prove it To prove it

about

David Fuller Melbourne, Australia

I am a Melbourne based songwriter. I write about the things I see, the things I feel, the things that intrigue me and move me. I have eclectic tastes in music, but my heart always drifts back to 70s and 80s rock. My own music draws from that rich well; a blend of rock, blues, soul, funk and jazz. ... more
