Leopard

I broke through the heaving tide
To get to you, the fevered bride
Dressed in fresh pressed Sunday best
Unbeknown that I would soon be put to test
I walked in and caught you out
embraced in sin there was no doubt
That you did take me for a mug
And so it's due, I'll pull this rug from under you
Oil your shield and do not yield to those who would eschew
The promise not to break heart it's something I ask you
For if a Leopard cannot change its' spots then nor can you?
Drowned in sound that has no soul
I am dressed like a clown but my skin is
Older than its' years and my eyes are wide
With the fear of being tossed and turned in a bed of lies
Oil your shield and do not yield to those who would eschew
The promise not to break heart it's something I ask you
For if a Leopard cannot change its' spots then nor can you?
So fall in line and bend your ears
Forsake those who would feed your fears
And take a lend, play with your heart
Don't pretend that they won't keep you in the dark
Oil your shield and do not yield to those who would eschew
The promise not to break heart it's something I ask you
For if a Leopard cannot change its' spots then nor can you?

Ballerina

Sign yourself away to the promised land
Father Time no longer sways
Mother Earth she slips away like sand
Tie your sails, to her tail
Seven stars they rise up above our heads
Plough the earth for one more night
Constellations sew a distant thread
But lucent eyes realise
Spread like a starfish, the point's on the cross and you know
You're gonna die
But a slight ballerina who spins in the ether, you know she's gonna fly
Yes you know, she's gonna fly
Churchyard junkies strung out on borrowed words
Preach the sermon, hear no song
Thoughtless words are thrown in drunken herds
What went wrong?
Spread like a starfish, the point's on the cross and you know
You're gonna die
But a slight ballerina who spins in the ether, you know she's gonna fly
Yes you know, she's gonna fly
There's no reason left to be alone
There's no time worth spending here
So plant your house upon some foreign stone
Let it grow, all will know
Spread like a starfish, the point's on the cross and you know
You're gonna die
But a slight ballerina who spins in the ether, you know she's gonna fly
Yes you know, she's gonna fly
