Climb into the silence The twisting blinding light The path towards the chamber Pulsating savage bright Shielding hands to faces Touched the twitching grin Dancing gems behind us The Stronghold of Oblivion The Keeper of the sun The scream inside the tear Eyes too old to council The dead beneath the clear Staring through the dark Eternal slopes of time The giant light behind me…. …and the sky lay unbelieving A distant gaping hole We penetrate the mountain To the nothing far below Blackened by a sacred sun, Truth you fear to mention Leaving friends to stumble on, Take the breath of peace……

Didn’t really get to know you well From what I did know, I could tell That this was the last thing on your mind….. Didn’t really get to say goodbye What words could ever signify The sadness of a fight that can’t be won Time is all we’re spending Don’t go shouting at the sea There’s emptiness descending No escaping what will be (will be….) The day begins as I wake up Some days I feel I’ve had enough Such luxury, that I might have a choice…. The luckier we are the most we fear There is no happy ending, this is clear…. So look around and feel the presence A transient delight A temporary essense That cradles us tonight

Find A Way 03:17
We’ll find a way Never been able to settle, we go far beyond You may not be able to catch up to where we belong But we’ll find a way Taking the time to imbed every line from the soul Out of the blue and the burden’s on you to respond But we’ll find a way Poe faced in Taunton With firey red jeans Propelling one’s greyhound By no other means Except to pass judgement On those that can’t swim And crave only egg yokes That chokes on my skin For frogs do not see me With armchair in hand They fall off the ground And make holes in the sand But oh what I’d give To take all that is mine But with only an armchair You’d hate to be blind So fill up my car parks With ladles and spoons Laden my trousers With hot air balloons Use your bazookas To tighten my jam The mutant intruders Will form a new plan…….

Somehow you crept up on me Now you’re just part of my world It’s a kind of dependancy A lantern of hope in the swirl You ebb and you flow with the tide Carried on waves from your mind Restless and hoping to find Peace in a soul that’s so blue When the pieces are speaking to you - It makes you happy - I get visions and prophecies And drama that breaks out your head You involve me reluctantly Desperate to hear what you’ve said - It makes you happy - Devotion’s how you make sense Your gifts are from heaven sent Connections keep you alone Rejection is all that you’ve know

Ruth Rose 04:35
Open your eyes Answer the the call Urgent - up from the bay Step out into The velvety light Moments, just before day Then down to Buckle where Ruth is waiting She holds the court of the sun and the moon And so compelled by the queen of the Merfolk They follow her under the water Rising up, rising up, rising up, to break the surface Ruth rose high Glistening golden with the salt on her skin And the Selkie’s cry Chasing the tide beneath the Mackerel sky Their singing echoes across sparkling diamonds To where you stand at the Skeleton Pier And when you hear them all that you want is to Follow them under the water Rising up, rising up, rising up, to break the surface Ruth rose high Glistening golden with the salt on her skin And the Selkie’s cry Chasing the tide beneath the Mackerel sky Ruth rose high She rose high, high She rose high, high She rose high, high

You are hunted - Can you feel their breath upon you? We’re the haunted - This machine is drip-bleeding your soul Debauchery – so implicit; can’t resist it the engineering of consent Grand illusion - We are subjects of confusion Fallen saviours - Neon cravers – all of us are sold Depravity – so ingenious; dark and heinous the engineering of consent You never see through the world around you The apathy you ingest surrounds you You think you’re free to decide what you do You cannot hide from this western voodoo Conspiracies of a grand agenda Insanity or a truth defender What do you see when your eyes are closed?
7.
It’s just a little scar - I see it in your eyes The lightning flashes out and takes you down It firers red and green and then you hit the ground You have to sleep now, have to sleep Daydreaming in the undertow Try to catch a breath No feeling in the after shock Clouds still fill your head You’re off the grid It’s just a little pill to keep the storm at bay Confusion blind the in pulse drives you wild Here comes the deja vu and then you hit the ground You have to sleep now, have to sleep Daydreaming in the undertow Try to catch a breath No feeling in the after shock Clouds still fill your head You’re off the grid Electric boy - you’re off the grid

Because 05:15
Because…. You know you’re only on my mind, half of the time And so, it goes, breathe the words in Take it on the chin, biding my time I can’t begin, to let it all in Letters and spaces all dancing in line They take off like black butterflies Patterns revolving and swirling through time Elusive, like breath over finger tips And though, it’s only in my head, the things that you said Are real to me, a memory in time The stupidest of crimes, longing for sense To make, the word, I just couldn’t see Letters and spaces all dancing in line They take off like black butterflies Patterns revolving and swirling through time Elusive, like breath over finger tips Because…. Because, it’s only in my head, the things you said….

Bestial eyes - Glowing chaos - Fingers of the damned Driving closer - Terror heart - Warriors of the morning Frozen statues - Thrown aside - Defenders left defenceless Driving closer - Terror heart - Warriors of the morning Faceless shiver - Climbs the wall - Tidal wave of fear Driving closer - Terror heart - Warriors of the morning Driving closer……. It’s coming closer - Terror heart Warriors of the morning Faceless shiver My terror heart

The Cure 05:46
I’ve been waiting - I’ve been waiting all my life But no-one sees me How am I supposed to reach you? - When you’re miles and miles away And you can’t hear me? - What if you could hear me? Have I been dreaming? - What if I’ve been dreaming all my life? And all is wasted? Is there something I can’t give you? - Some electrifying flare that eludes me? Is that what you need? I cannot wait anymore - I’m free to love I just can’t take anymore - I’m free to love I’ve been grieving - But now I’m feeling so alive And I am ready There’s a place that I can get to - A secret world where all is within me A sanctuary I was so sure, never saw that the cure would enslave me Up the pace, win the race, more power to the maybe And now I let these fragments scatter in the wind…..

Today 04:59
Summoning the energy that this takes It alludes me Seeking out the enemy in my mind Pick me up Puts me down In my place where I belong Who do you think you are And her face becomes yours And you ask me How do I feel…… today Switching from a universe I adore Disconnecting Kneeling at the alter I take the strain  Grey and black World of shame In this place that I run from I don’t know who you are And his face becomes yours As you ask me How do I feel…… today
12.
I recognise your collapsing stare Pleading with tedium - Lost in the glare Remembering that you once knew fear Breathing with reasoning - A path so clear And that’s the benefit of experience The benefit of experience With the benefit of experience Don’t have to worry about what they think The drifting tides released you The baron void in which you sink Unravels all but anguish I recognise your collapsing stare Leaking your loneness - Your life passed you by….
13.
What is the cost friend When we add it all up? Then what alchemy is this? Like Icarus dawning That all gold flames to rust Falls to river beds of dust And there’s nothing I can do to protect you Bend the world unto my will and I can’t hope to But the stronger the grip, you still slip through…. Once a universe - in your arms…. Wide, warm hands Can’t sooth this anguish at play Fingers close Tiny wrists fade away….. The oceans of droplets All the deserts of sand Don’t mean anything now

about

Although confronting dark subject matter, ‘Scream Inside the Tear’ contains hope as well as acceptance; the joy of living in the moment and appreciating the life we have. There are mediations on where we go after we pass, living alone after losing a loved one, themes of mental health issues such as anxiety and psychosis, the unexpected effects and anger surrounding death and finding joy in the face of the absurdity of living. The album follows a circular structure reflecting the cycles of life, death and rebirth in an ongoing loop.
