I know I've done some things in the past
I didn't really think that they just might last
Six long years and I still feel the same
Prepare myself for a dream of shame
I can't comprehend my own thoughts
For six long years this battle I've fought
I want to move on but its holding me back
Like a dead tree branch, its strength I lack
The girl I love hates me, for that I'm sure
I let it control me, for pain I adore
Wasting my life and wasting my time
Never look back or your fate is mine
Walking on the scene today
Nothing more I could say
Youre playing with my mind
In this hell I couldn't find
Find nowhere that I could stay
Just open up and say I may
I fell in love with you today
When you fell in my arms this way
So you opened up your door
Theres no way Im on ground floor
Im flying above the hills
I can see my life in photographic stills
How more perfect can this get
Than this girl that I just met
Ill be standing tall
Putting up no walls
And ill say one thing to you
I love you.
Cradle of endless anxiety,
Can you rock me to sleep?
You'll see I'm patient,
For a good night creep.
I've chosen to be uptight.
Even if you don't listen,
Hand me my plight.
I feel so down today.
I want to stay in my hole,
Like I can't forget,
How I love you.
Down, in vain i'll pray,
If theres any God at all.
Yet I know i'll be fine,
If I have patience.
I am all but justified,
But Ill lick my wounds
Until we meet again
I feel so lost at sea
Cynical and free
I'm going overboard
Going overboard
Overboard
I feel so lost at sea
I'm happy and im free
At the bottom
I'm going overboard
Overboard
Watch me I'm beyond free
Im drowning but thats ok
Im going overboard
Going overboard
Overboard
I can't see beyond a broken pane.
I don't know what is ahead.
The cracks lead to a life before me,
that has lived a thousand tales.
I only know, what I learn.
For what they tell me,
I must see for myself.
Perhaps a little naive.
Like a leaf in autumn,
I shrivel up at the touch,
Of one cold breeze.
I didn't understand,
The wind can pick you up.
And take you where,
you have not been.
I know I've done some things in the past
I didn't really think that they just might last
Six long years and I still feel the same
Prepare myself for a dream of shame
I can't comprehend my own thoughts
For six long years this battle I've fought
I want to move on but its holding me back
Like a dead tree branch, its strength I lack
The girl I love hates me, for that I'm sure
I let it control me, for pain I adore
Wasting my life and wasting my time
Never look back or your fate is mine
You are so beautiful to me,
So why do you play like a fool?
The scars on your skin.
The pain in your mind.
Laughter like a child,
as it echoes in eternity.
The way that you be,
And when i couldnt see.
To change like a butterfly,
I hate the way you cry.
The times that you just feel,
that life is an expendable comodity.
Shallow are these waters,
that pull at your feet.
They give you life,
And thats just what they take.
Chorus
*
You can see me
Im here
And not going anywhere.
*
Pale blue panes in a sky full of wispy clouds
Floating where no one can reach
Gravity wont hold me now, happily above
That place where time holds no sympathy
The ground is damp when I wake
Sunlight beads off the dew
As the bugs chatter with the breeze
And the leaves try to quiet the noise
Radiating - the sun brushes away the chill
Of a morning where the birds wake the insects
And memories lace the clouds into pictures
Of a spring where the flowers whispered of love
I remember that place now
Time flys by like the clouds above
Clinging to the sky as it samples life
Looking down; on the way life moves
Everything seems so perfect
Likely am I to love to hold,
The one from which my kindness sold.
Feathered felt from a holy kiss,
Greater life inside my bliss.
Over time I thought we'd blend,
Played by love; Hope we send.
Beloved here to hold forever,
My gut says we're ending never.
Little did I know that today,
This feeling that I had would fray.
Who thought that all the time I gave,
Would mean naught in this deadly wave?
Blinded with the lovers tears,
This life I had; My hand smears.
Passion for humanity, no longer exempt,
Purges my pessimistic contempt.
When it comes around
You're always too slow to jump
You may have missed an opportunity
Of your lifetime, and mine
I wish i'd overheard what they were saying
It wasn't true
It was just a misunderstanding
Do you ever lie in the dark
Thinking coarse thoughts
With your eye on the light
Under the door?
Arms keeps a distance from your heart
Ready to fire without warning
Its all in the eye of the beholder
The top of the hill is passed
Its all downhill from hereon
I see life staring me in the face
To want to possess what I dont
Masses have those in their place
Back up the hill I must climb
For what I feel is an emotional crime
Consort to my mind so I love
Though kicking and screaming, I must shove
Under my breath I muster my courage
Ill-timed feelings plague me,
Pain afflicted, anxiety relief,
Tipsy turvey, mind unproportioned,
Fix my unending ungracious grief.
Avalanche offset, pebble powered,
Positioned in the negative dimension.
Anti-clock; Minute decisions last,
Interminded power-boost, creating tension.
Incessantly destructive moderation,
Cry for thy passion; My gender inverse,
Let love loose; lay-off contemplation,
Mirror my middle to mind; Converse.
Calming thy raging inferno inside,
Not seeing, loving, doing; Live,
Disjointed causing withdrawal to thee,
Love me, hold me, kiss me; Give.
Just as you gather yourself again
Your feet are pulled out from under you
The friends who were loyal and trusting
Realise the results are just in
*
They've played me like a fool
Loved me like a rubber band
Stretched and cracked and split in two
They've played me like a fool
Loved me like a rubber band
And its just...
*
Blame it on competition
Dont you love it when I'm sorry?
The ground hurts my bare feet
Running laps over some creep
Didn't you ever feel like taking it back?
Making it like white and black
Take a pick and let it stick
Theres no excuses for what you missed
*
They've played me like a fool
Loved me like a rub
You can't trick me with your smile
That way you look
When I think you're sorry
I can see through the hair that covers your face
The innocence of a butterfly on a morning in spring
How you flutter around, without a care
For the one that cared so much
Innocence of a warm blanket
The holes in an old shirt
Won't hide what you've been doing
I'll drive you around
Why'd I pick you up?
You gotta love the way,
How I don't cough up
The things I wanted to say
And who I thought
Was to blame
Chorus
*
I was led by your smile
And I know you're innocent
Who am I to think I wasn't to blame?
Did you hear me,
Speaking the truth?

I Feel So Alone... By Phantomflare
Everytime I close my eyes, I see her and me
doing our thing.
Everytime I listen, I hear her voice
She liked to sing.
Everytime I look around, I see picures
of us together.
Everytime.
I don't want to, because I love her.
I don't want to, because I need her.
I want to be with her just one more time.
I want go back, she is lovely and kind.
I don't know how to feel.
I don't know what to feel.
I don't know what to do...
I feel so alone.
Pale blue panes in a sky full of wispy clouds
Floating where no one can reach
Gravity wont hold me now, happily above
That place where time holds no sympathy
The ground is damp when I wake
Sunlight beads off the dew
As the bugs chatter with the breeze
And the leaves try to quiet the noise
Radiating - the sun brushes away the chill
Of a morning where the birds wake the insects
And memories lace the clouds into pictures
Of a spring where the flowers whispered of love
I remember that place now
Time flys by like the clouds above
Clinging to the sky as it samples life
Looking down; on the way life moves
Everything seems so perfect

We went in and recorded our demo of 3 songs yesterday. We have the premastered versions and will get the masters on about monday or tuesday. Im considering uploading them, do you reckon I should?
I saw radiohead last night at the Sydney Entertainment centre, and it was, in effect, the best night of my life. Some songs were just so great I just had to sit and watch, i couldnt sing along...
They played Nice Dream, which was a total surprise, and that was great but hearing Like Spinning Plates on piano was awesome. The night was so great I could say how every song was fucking tops.
We'll just say well done boys.
