Can't Get Through

Neural surge when I have the urge to reconcile
Emotional load and I've been told to wait a while
Burden to you and I know it's true but I disbelieve
You've been gone for far too long but I didn't leave
Can't get through when all I do is deny
I want to stay, you've gone away, I cry
Your reasons are sound -- if I'm around it's hard
I never know that it's time to go, dismantle and discard
If this is me then I can't see a way
To ever be your friend
I carry too much and am starved for touch
And I never see the end for the end
Can't get through when all I do is deny
I want to stay, you've gone away, I cry
Your reasons are sound -- if I'm around it's hard
I never know that it's time to go, dismantle and discard
Don't know why I need to be reassured
Held and beheld, seen and deeply heard
I know it's always been this way
And it's the reason you'll never stay
Can't get through when all I do is deny
I want to stay, you've gone away, I cry
Your reasons are sound -- if I'm around it's hard
I never know that it's time to go, dismantle and discard
Can't get through when all I do is deny
I want to stay, you've gone away, I cry
Your reasons are sound -- if I'm around it's hard
I never know that it's time to go, dismantle and discard

We Drew Our Lines
03:48

With a heavy heart, I dance alone
In a sea of bodies cold as stone
We said farewell one too many times
Wine and promises, we drew our lines
We drew our lines, and leapt them too easily
In our minds, but inside so sick and queasily
We'd be here together but the tears became too much
So I dance in a sea of bodies numb to their touch
With a heavy heart (we said farewell)
I dance alone (one too many times)
In a sea of bodies (wine and promises)
Cold as stone (we drew our lines)
With a heavy heart (we said farewell)
I dance alone (one too many times)
In a sea of bodies (wine and promises)
Cold as stone (we drew our lines)
With a heavy heart (we said farewell)
I dance alone (one too many times)
In a sea of bodies (wine and promises)
Cold as stone (we drew our lines)
With a heavy heart (we said farewell)
I dance alone (one too many times)
In a sea of bodies (wine and promises)
Cold as stone (we drew our lines)
We drew our lines, and leapt them too easily
In our minds, but inside so sick and queasily
We'd be here together but the tears became too much
So I dance in a sea of bodies numb to their touch

Strange Lullaby
04:29
|
|||
|
On sacred ground, in an honest place
The awful sound, cries of disgrace
No priestess to hear your confessions
No people to witness your concessions
In the shadows you lie
To save yourself you deny
Without a penance to cry
Soothe yourself with strange lullaby
Secrets abound, given too much space
Your admissions were found to be lacking in taste
No judgement exists that will free you
No goddess's kiss, she can't see you
In the shadows you lie
To save yourself you deny
Without a penance to cry
Soothe yourself with strange lullaby
You cast around for a friendly face
Tear the altar down, shame and abase
No mercy within to forgive you
Your stories of sin will outlive you
In the shadows you lie
To save yourself you deny
Without a penance to cry
Soothe yourself with strange lullaby
In the shadows you lie
To save yourself you deny
Without a penance to cry
Soothe yourself with strange lullaby
In the shadows you lie
To save yourself you deny
Without a penance to cry
Soothe yourself with strange lullaby

Cut The Cord

I dragged myself into the light
I hope that I'm doing this right
I hope the sorrow that I'll feel tomorrow
Finally makes you feel alright
I've cut the cord
The things I do don't depend on you
I'll walk away from what we've gone through
I'll stop wondering if it was true
Because what else can I do
I dragged myself into the light
So we no longer need to fight
I am nothing to you
So now you are too
Doesn't matter if I no longer delight
I've cut the cord
The things I do don't depend on you
I'll walk away from what we've gone through
I'll stop wondering if it was true
Because what else can I do
I've dragged myself out of my pain
But I'd do it all over again
Every moment was real
That's just how I feel
Though it cracked under the strain
I've cut the cord
The things I do don't depend on you
I'll walk away from what we've gone through
I'll stop wondering if it was true
Because what else can I do
I've cut the cord
The things I do don't depend on you
I'll walk away from what we've gone through
I'll stop wondering if it was true
Because what else can I do

Never Understand
04:00
|

|
This time abandoned
Finally I could see everything I needed
You can't give to me
Lonely liberty, my identity
It never was about you
Just uncertainty, I'm crawling out from under
Unending misery
Lonely liberty, my identity,
I rise from another nervous crash
You'll never understand
You'll never understand
Grounded and bleeding
Wounded mystery
Mired in needing
Hoping you would see
Lonely liberty, my identity
Bewildered and unburdened
Something is calling out to me
Untied and drifting
Relieved ecstasy
Lonely liberty, my identity
I rise from another nervous crash
You'll never understand
You'll never understand
I rise from another nervous crash
You'll never understand
You'll never understand
I rise from another nervous crash
You'll never understand
You'll never understand
I rise from another nervous crash
You'll never understand
You'll never understand
I rise from another nervous crash
You'll never understand
You'll never understand
I rise from another nervous crash
You'll never understand
You'll never understand

Moon Fortress SINGLE
by One Eye Wanders
One Eye Wanders is an aesthetic. You'll find Nick's obsession with start-stop syncopated rhythm, bright rhythmic synths, and story-telling, conversational melodics.

Thank you for the second album. Got all three now on Bandcamp and they inspire me so much. Kids in school, then work, and kids back from school - then baths and homework - AND FINALLY a bit of time in my cobbled together mini studio in my one bedroom flat. YOU inspire me to make the effort to make all that stuff work.
