Becoming One
03:42

I lie awake in bed again
Hoping for this night to end
Mysterious shadows in my sleep
Dreams that wake me up to weep
I know it’s you there in my dreams
I haven’t felt this way for years
We reach our hands out to touch
And cry as clouds pass between us
We spent the evening with the moon
Holding hands across your tomb
Talking late into the night
You were angry about my plan to re-unite
I want so much to be with you
I long to feel close to you
Life is empty now you’re gone
But in my plan, we’re becoming one
Please allow me to be free
We know it should be you and me
Wait for it, control your temper
I’m coming to live our dreams in heaven…

Deep down I love you

Seven weeks have come to pass
Since the night I saw you last
I’m sorry for all that I’ve done
I’m sorry for those cuts I caused
The thoughts and feelings I most fear
Are knowing when and who you’re near
It makes me mad to think of you
With someone else, with someone new
It started off so well tonight
You’re beautiful, charming, and bright
Could this be our start again?
The past abandoned on the shelf
I saw the way you looked at him
Those thoughts have started up again
I see his face, I plant his chin
It’s you that bears the force of it
I know deep down, you want to be
Alone with me, exclusively
But in my head, the voices say
That I’m not good enough, anyway

Don't leave us
04:25
|

|
I’m numb at what I heard today
We’re running out of time in which to play
I wish I could take back everything I said
And that we’d done all those things in our heads
You seem so organised, how are you so strong?
You say, ‘keep going’ you should meet someone
But I know it’s gonna be heard for us
The kids and me will miss you so much
No don’t leave us, no don’t leave us
I don’t want to lose what we’ve got
And I really don’t want to be here when you’re gone
I could never replace all that we’ve done
And I never want to feel like I’ve moved on

Unreal
03:15
|
|||
|
Watching your heart beat on a screen
As I feel your bosom heave
I’m still hoping for a miracle
To save us from this situation
But the doctors say it won’t be long
Before your suffering soul has passed on
This is not reality
Whilst you’re still here in front of me

Did your Body Forget
04:16
|
|||
|
I wake with a start, it’s dark tonight
Your breath on my window chills me inside
I search for warmth in our empty bed
But hot rubbers all there is, where you once slept
Sitting on the corner of our bed
The life and the ecstasy long since left
I want everything to be normal again
Just like how it was, when we first met
Faces staring in the night
Scanning cold and deep inside
Searching through my wounded mind
You and my darkest thoughts conspire
Did your body forget to be faithful?
When I was only thinking of you
When we were building our family
Were you always untrue?
Did your body forget to run?
Did your body forget to run?

One more time
04:51
|
|||
|
The journeys path, in my sat nav
This time I don’t need any clothes
Just two short hours until I’m with you
And we can take our lives off hold
I can see you waiting patiently
As I take my final trip
Drifting through the ether
To the welcome of your kiss
I know how much you love surprises
You’ll miss our kids, just like I do
You’ll never touch their skin or hair again
And they’ll be safer without you
One more time for you and me
It’s what you want but I can’t agree
We had something that should never be reborn
You’ll search for me forever, always on the run

Forever and Ever
03:41
|
|||
|
What planet are you living on?
Bleating and crying about what’s gone
Our life together was fraught and untender
And nothing like how you remember
I also remember the night in the bar
Pissed and paranoid, you took things too far
Someone normal asked if I was ok
And later at home, you explode in a rage
The hate within me begins to knit
As I watch you playing with our kids
Your dirty hands touch their skin
And drink-soaked breath blows them a kiss
Things will never be the same
Your hands can never beat my face
And you’ll be desperate and lonely eternally
Forever and ever…

Drifting Away
04:13
|
|||
|
Sitting in your chair
Feeling much more relaxed
Your face smiling over me
Forgiving and kind
I’ve taken those pills
Just like you said
It won’t be long now
Before I’m holding your hand
Drifting away
I feel myself floating
Through clouds and smoke
Up to your arms
I wake with a start
Your smile has gone
Still sat in your chair
But now I’m paralysed and scared
What did I do?
The blame lies squarely with you
I want to Become One
With you
