Catharsis Caught Words and Music: Dave Des I’m on my boat to nowhere Nowhere fast Fast is a time forgotten I knew it wouldn’t last
Friends always told me something Some things pass I’ll pass on the race I started So I’ll finish last
Looking back When catharsis caught my own reflection Looking down Over the rail From a boat docked tied down
Is it running away When you’re coming to your senses? If it’s running away I’ll take the consequences I’m not running away This ship has sailed on to Bluer waters
Anchors aweigh Cast off to open sea Moving forward Set the course The wind filled the sail And it blew my mind
Is it running away When you’re coming to your senses If it’s running away I’ll take the consequences I’m not running away This ship has sailed on To bluer waters
Is it running away When things just had to change For good For good For good
Sail on to Bluer waters
Poison Envy Words and Music: Dave Des It's not that I Know any better It's not that I want What's best for you It's not even coming From a good place I might be a spy Withholding your safe space
Somebody save me from me There is no other way I can only ever be My own worst enemy There's a poison in me Turns red blood into green Somebody save me From this poison envy
Is it that I Have all the answers Or is it just for those You never asked Is this an incarnation Of a patronizing saint Or simply a human being In your way
Gaslights flood A field of your feels To the darkness you run From the power it wields Is it not enough You're in pressure deep My whispers steal From your precious sleep
Somebody save me from me There is no other way I can only ever be My own worst enemy There's a poison in me Turns red blood into green Save me Somebody save me From this poison envy
Hippocampus Words and Music: Dave Des We mellow In the half light Of dusk to dawn We talk of times Some that we want to remember Others we’d rather forget Is it a placeholder For memories To drift in and out of Is it a void To stay untouched Keeps meddling minds Away
It might be true what they say Just don’t go there But how will you know the way If you don’t go there Just don’t go there
Sometimes a rewrite A new right to veil the old wrong Repaint the dark side With colours too happy for sad Take silver from the lining And make it the whole story
Is it a safe place For pictures to Wait to be drawn from Do we avoid The lens we touch Puts flickering views Away I guess it’s true what they say Just don’t go there But how will you know the way If you don’t go there Just don’t go there
Beware the triggers You cannot control A smell A look A touch A sound Remembers things You didn’t know you’d forgotten
More Than Blue Words and Music: Dave Des To right the wrong your price the saddest song It's hope that preys On those Who give it away
But there's warm light Pressing on your window There's blue skies Leaning on your door a lost voice deep inside your soul cries Waiting to be heard
The plight is real Wild seeds Take root in the fear The doubt Your pain No strength To live through it again
But there's warm light Pressing on your window There's blue skies Leaning on your door a lost voice deep inside your soul cries Waiting to be heard
There's shadows in every picture It brings what's lit alive This darkness feels forever But know it's in you to survive Another day It's in you Another way Within you
There's shadows in every picture It brings what's lit alive This darkness feels forever But know a new day will dawn for you
Afternoon black clouds Will surely melt away Sun showers will follow And that new rainbow will shine More colours than blue More colours than blue There's more colours in you More colours than blue
Broken Things Words and Music: Dave Des What can we learn From broken things? When something gives Another takes Lessons lost On broken things Some of them never See the light of day We turn our eye To the things that change While we ignore The things that don’t Oh and things broken Don’t always need fixing They can become something new that won’t
A serendipitous bond Fills the cracks We celebrate The pieces rearranged New beauties emerge From a straight line bowed Gravity bends Plots twist All this to say That today and every day Brings a new colour That paints our tomorrows In ways we may never Plan
What can we learn From broken things? What can we learn From broken things? |
Wreckhouse Winds Words and Music: Dave Des Midnight steering wheel gripping Wreckhouse winds Body check my pick up truck Down the maritime TCH 18 wheeler made Ink black tarmac rivers Pulling me to the grave
There’s no time to think Just feel there’s no time to think Just feel there’s no time to think Just feel
Stacks of traps Line the shore Of Nameless Cove The final stay for Redcoat guests Never to return To the sea Nature causing chaos Kicks up east coast shivers Revenge served cold
there’s no time to think Just feel there’s no time to think Just feel there’s no time to think Just feel Feel Feel Feel
Back to one Words and Music: Dave Des I’m breaking Away from you I’m filling A space for two That once occupied one So now it’s back to one
Follow me now Follow me how?
I’ve woken A sleeping friend I’ve chosen To change the end Cause I followed my heart So now it’s back to start
Follow me now Follow me how?
Learning how to walk again Who’s voice heard will talk to send This will that falters Far from alters To the great unknown To move alone
I’m taking Away from you What I’m giving Myself to use Renew, it has begun Cause now it’s back to one Now it’s back to one Head In The Sand Words and Music: Dave Des Om
Burning all the bridges Head in the sand Om In this echo chamber This is my way to survive Head in the sand Om No serenity
Sky's Open Words and Music: Dave Des Sky’s open coffee’s ready Our manifesto of future intention It’s on the table It was first put out in the universe But it boomeranged every battle was won yet the war was still lost All we know is
Life happens and it happened to us We imagine better ways to live These are no Deep fake images See the real pictures we’re happy in them After these long dark nights We manifest our brightest days
We root for The mindful tortoise to overtake the fleeting hare Slowly moving at the speed of trust It’ll win the race Every victory lapse Losing sight of the course All we know is
Life happens and it happened to us We imagine better ways to live These are no Deep fake images See the real pictures we’re happy in them After these long dark nights We manifest our brightest days
Sky’s open coffee’s ready We will win this Slow and steady Sky’s open Let’s get ready Sky's is open |
