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

Storm Coming Down
05:33
|
|||
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

Rope To A Drowning Man
05:22
|
|||
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?

Where's Your Heart
04:45
|
|||
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
04:34
|
|||
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

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
