latest track for second album - the eight zero august 12, 2023

lyrics

shadows already on the ground
there's nowhere i'd rather be
than with all the haunted smiles
when the morning comes i'll be here
on a darkened holiday
when the dawn won't come
touching each other on the cheek
i'm hoping all the world
can see our circus in black and grey
your shadow on my face
while i’m on my knees
we're laughing until our angels fall
out of place with all the shy boys
at least here they come


see the fire burn
burning all around my feet
feel the fire burn
burning all around my heart
our silence shatters the night

in the falling light of a broken world

feel the fire burn
burning all around my heart

where the sadness used to cover you
people find the truth on the wrong day
when we have gone away
don't bother looking for us

hear our laughter as we run
with our hands in the air
a voice starts singing "where are you now?"
across the room the tears come to light
they look to the street below
there's no one allowed in
all the children have gone
left here just a little while

we are told to behave with stick and spit
like a dog backed to the wall
all human forms seem out of place
death is at the door
these toys kept getting in our way
girls and boys break the rules
every night the quiet walks in fright
hate waits so long to get home
solid ground never made sense

you keep throwing out bitter things
they come knocking at your door 



see the fire burn
burning all around my feet
feel the fire burn
burning all around my heart
our silence shatters the night

in the falling light of a broken world
feel the fire burn
burning all around my heart
