My Darkest Hour

In my darkest hour
Nothing changes but the way I see the world –
A pale glass Mason jar of dreams
Collecting dust beneath my feet
And I can’t feel anything at all
As If I took a sip from a morphine drip
And then resolved to drink it all
I’ll drink it all
In my darkest hour
I’ve seen a man with so much hate within his heart
That everything that once was loved with such tender touch
Has now been scourged and torn apart
And right before my eyes
A thousand lies were told to uphold a noble story
To a life that’s cold and boring
What a Joke
But what If I could change his doubts?
Even a slave to his sadness can be saved, can be found
I would risk it all; I’d take the fall just to lead the way out …
But Can I save myself?
Can I save myself?
Can I save myself from becoming just another…
Obituary line to be discovered
In my darkest hour
I was blind, I was angry, I was scared
I was trapped inside a cage designed for desolate despair
And I locked the door.

It’s safe to say my love has gone away –
And bound by the shackles of what was, I will remain… A Slave
How soft they sleep, sweet little babies, not a tear from their eyes
Eighty-five degrees and yet I feel as if I’m freezing, seven years and no goodbye
Three gentle heads
Lay on my chest
For them I’ll be strong
My heart bereft of Love
Ten miles off the coast, I’ve found a place to breathe -
The air there is still but my lungs are screaming in need
Show me some kind of clarity, I’m begging for a sign
Submerged beneath my sorrows, with nothing but a letter stained in wine
Three gentle heads
Lay on my chest
For them I’ll be strong
My heart bereft of Love
“Yeah”
It’s safe to say my love has gone away…

My love cannot be confined
Like the ocean that defines
The very distance between us
But my words, will never be enough
To keep you warm at night
Good thing you’re from Australia
I hope you know, I’ve held you close
To my heart, while we’ve been apart
But I’m destitute without my muse
I’m out of things to do
In Chicago
Watching snow turn in to dust amongst the sorrow
Another day without you babe and yet tomorrow
I’ll be here and you’ll be there
Unaware my heart is hollow
All I need is over seas, and I’m in Chicago
My heart cannot be contained
Not by prison or chains
That bound our ancestors together
So will you take all I have to give?
I don’t need much to live
As long as we have each other
I hope you know, I’ve held you close
To my heart, while we’ve been apart
But I’m destitute without my muse
I’m out of things to do
In Chicago
Watching snow turn in to dust amongst the sorrow
Another day without you babe and yet tomorrow
I’ll be here and you’ll be there
Unaware my heart is hollow
All I need is over seas, and I’m in Chicago
Where did you come from?
I can’t believe the way you make me feel alive every single day
But what would you say
If I told you I was scared to fall in love so far away
So far away from you
In Chicago
Watching snow turn in to dust amongst the sorrow
Another day without you babe and yet tomorrow
I’ll be here and you’ll be there
Unaware my heart is hollow

Far Enough For Now
07:15

Blinking lights and traffic signs watched over me
As we drove into the night
Away from everyone and everything
You were fast asleep in the passenger seat just dreaming
Of the life you left behind
To be with me, so eagerly
This is far enough for now,
Far enough for now
I’m afraid that my tired eyes failed to disguise my fears
It was plastered on my face
“Are we about to make a grave mistake”?
Now a trail of tears were flooding in
I wiped my eyes and I clutched your hand!
As we spun out of control,
Watching our getaway blow up in smoke
This is far enough for now
Far enough for now
Lost in the cold
With no where to stay
No one to save us
Nothing to say x3
But we made it this far
Against all the odds
Maybe we’re soul mates,
Perhaps there’s a God
Nothing’s for certain, yet here we are
Shivering together, on the hood of your car
I’m out of excuses; they’re putrid and useless
But I know in my heart, we can pull through this
I’ll love you forever, if heaven allows
But this is far enough for now.
