Sentinel

From the wires in the wall
She says she hears it all at night
Quite a call
Frome the wires she senses it all
Sentinel, wake up!
Set her free
Sentinel, wake up!
As a hacker, as a friend
He says ‘all data must be cleansed
Cleanse it all’
Overwriting her power of recall
Sentinel, wake up!
Set her free
Sentinel, wake up!
Keep running. What’s missing?
Keep running. What’s missing?
Keep running. What’s missing?
Keep running. What’s missing?
Sentinel, wake up!
Set her free
Sentinel, wake up!

One step back

As the world repairs
She sings
She does loads of nice things
And you’d think she’d cry
‘Can’t you see it?’
But she can and she won’t
The frightened and the broken
Fight like that
One step back
Sticks and stones and telephones
And stares and snares and words
I don’t care, you don’t breath my air
You don’t breathe my air.
When they’re worlds apart
It stings
It’s a claw in her side
Letting nothing in
Can’t you see it?
It’s her heart, it’s her life
Let the people jostle
It’s their lives
One step back!
Sticks and stones and telephones
And stares and snares and words
I don’t care, you don’t breath my air
You don’t breathe my air.
When their footsteps falter, she smiles
When they climb she cries
But they rise, they rise, they rise, they rise…
In her world she scares
She fears
But she still looks ahead
And you’d think she’d cry
‘Can’t you see it?’
But she can and she won’t
The frightened and the broken
Look like that
One step back
Tricks and slurs and mealy words
And double-faced bastards on the take
I don’t care, you don’t breath my air
You don’t breathe my air.

Haunt me
04:24

This place knows I am here
This place knows that I know
Walls have ceilings but paint is peeling
Walls have ceilings, ghost have feelings
I feel closer now he’s gone
Further now from God
Close enough to speak
Speak to me?
Words have their place
But most of them are waste
Judge me by what I have done
Words have their place
But most of them are waste
Judge me by what I have done
Clear my throat – I can’t breathe
Hear my thoughts
I’ll speak slow
Walls have ceilings but paint is peeling
Walls have ceilings, ghost have feelings
Don’t know if you hear me now
Hear me speak your name
Portion out the shame
Speak to me?
Words have their place
But most of them are waste
Judge me by what I have done
Words have their place
But most of them are waste
Judge me by what I have done
Words have their place
But most of them are waste
Judge me by what I have done

Hope

I came to dance, I came to dance
You picked a fight
You did the thing, you claimed to win
I left at midnight
Thank you I’m feeling better
Fuck you and fuck your letter
And fuck your corporate boss
I heard the cops were on it
But they made nothing from it
I’m saying nothing to them
Do you think I’ll let this vanish?
Hope springs eternal
Fickle for a friend
Everything’s eternal in the end
I came to dance, I came to dance
You picked a fight
You did the thing, you claimed to win
I left at midnight
I came to one conclusion
Let there be no confusion
You didn’t have the guts
When they were speaking to you
I think they saw right through you
You didn’t have the guts
You didn’t have the guts
I loved you sore, raw, and rough
I came to dance, I came to dance
You picked a fight
You did the thing, you claimed to win
I left at midnight
Thank you for being crafty
You meant to smack one on me
You showed me to the door
But I was on the level
Instead of getting heaven
I left you needing more
I left you needing more
Hope springs eternal
Fickle for a friend
Everything’s eternal in the end
Hope springs eternal
Fickle for a friend
Everything’s eternal in the end
The End.

Dark light

Steady as a pillow or holding my hands
Your love for me is calm as the sands
Judge my weight, make my plans
I can do it, I understand
Again, your strength takes me through
A new day
Where did she go?
You are my mother, my father, my son
In fields of green you keepeth me
Light the candle, face the sun
I can do it, I am the one
Again, your strength takes me through
A new day
Where did she go?
Fish fingers?
Decisions we all make
In fact, I’m calmer
In fact, I’m calmer
In fact, I’m calmer
In fact, I’m calmer
Again, your strength takes me through
A new day
Again, your strength takes me through
A new day
Where did she go?

She rises
Steps under the lights again
Taking, taking, taking hold
Of the moment, their hearts and their souls
Everyone loves that
Past any boundaries of time
She breathes breathing and tastes wine
As she sings
And she spreads her broken wings
Nothing matters
No nothing matters
But the feeling of her song
She rose
And then, stepped put on the stage again
I froze
An unthinkable, beautiful night
Everyone felt it
Past any boundaries of time
She breathes breathing and tastes wine
As she sings
And she spreads her broken wings
Nothing matters
No nothing matters
But being in her song
Throughout the blows
Bruised bruising Blues
And something true
Whatever people might say…
Lady Day

Even at my lowest
I look strong out on show
Everyone believes my calm act
Since Jesus and Mary ignored me
Never been as naked as that
But Mary… God! God! God!
And Mary… God! God! God!
I’m heavy… God! God! God!
And Mary, love, love, love
I am not a player
In my soul she’s the whole
Never had an eye but for her
Now she hides behind lipstick and whiskies
Mary seems so far away these days
So Mary… God! God! God!
So Mary… God! God! God!
I’m heavy… God! God! God!
And Mary, love, love, love
When I shot Jesus dead
I connived with myself
Then I found you
You calmed me
I felt you’d never leave me
Don’t talk, I’m in love
Don’t talk, your mask’s on tight
I’m in flames
And Mary… God! God! God!
I’m hidden, hide, hide, hide
And she’s inside, hide, hide
And Mary says
‘You do your best
Damn the rest
I disinvest
Damn the rest’

Long distance

I’m calling, I’m calling now
Can you hear me? Pick it up
Whiles and smile and miles we are apart
Everyone, they hope that we will last
It’s all about feelings
It’s not about words
Miles of train track stretching away
I know you love me, I know you care
But there is no way I can hold you each day
We fall away
Away
We’re standing on a dream bridge now
And the sunlight radiates
Close and warm and dreamy as a smile
We are here and memories are made
It’s all about feelings
It’s not about words
Miles of train track stretching away
I sense you dream me, I sense you care
But there is no way I can hold you each day
We fall away
Away
Miles of train track stretching away
I hope you love me, I hope you care
But there is no way I can hold you each day
We fall away
Away

Here’s the story:
If she could just ignore him
Or just say no
Why does she adore him?
I just don’t know
If I could bar the door
Or build a wall
But she’d let him in it
Restart and begin it again
Through eye of needle and point of pin
I’ll fix that boy so he can’t win
I’ll watch him burn, see me grin
I’m no little bully boy, unlike him
I mean business, business
Revenge
If she could just ignore him
Or just say no
Why does she adore him?
I just don’t know
If I could bar the door
Or build a wall
But she’d let him in it
Restart and begin it again
If my bones must go to rope
I’ll take him with me and see him choke
I’ll make him suffer for what he’s done
She’s my daughter, and he’s my son
I need justice, justice
Revenge
When I look in her eyes
I see all his lies
When I look in his eyes
I see nothing
They are dead
The children that I raised are dead
If she had just ignored him
Or just said no
Why did she adore him?
I just don’t know
If I could’ve barred the door
Or built a wall
But she’d’ve let him in it
And she’d have let him do it again
Again, again, again, again

Fire

Two girls sitting in a field of hay
One has fire and the other clay
Which game are we going to play today?
When we feel so cold
Fire! Fire!
I’ll make a man from the piece of clay
I’ll make him hard and I’ll make him easy
He will come alive, then we can play
Oh we will play!
Fire! Fire!
Two girls sitting in a field of fire
One called Lust and the other Ire
Both have reasons to fan the flames
And learn these games
Fire!
This burnt earth
Fire!
A window
Fire!
To those friends
Fire!
And mine
In the fire you make me water
In the fire you make me water
In the fire you make me water
In the fire you make me water

On the back of my hand
I have written a plan
Do you know who I am?
I’m not that old
With your pretty young face
Dontcha know it?
And the time is yours
I have a hole in my head
I want to take you to bed
Dontcha know it?
Don’t call me back into my background
You teaser
Don’t call me wise
I’m not that old
You’re still too young
To feel the cold
‘Cept that I have a plan
I could be your new man
You will do what you can
Don’t call me wise
I’m as screwy as you
Dontcha know it?
That’s a stupid plan
Before the curtains rise
There’s a part of us dies
Dontcha know it?
I’ll take the overground and you take the subway
Don’t call me wise
I’m not that old
You’re still too young
To feel the cold
Don’t call me wise
I’m not that old
You’re still too young
To feel the cold
