Don't leave me lying here beside myself
Don't leave my eyes open, I can see myself
Don't look at me like I'm gone, I'm sure I'm not
Don't think of me like I'm dead, I will return
I scream but no one hears my cries
I see through penetrated eyes
The light destroys what was before
Sent into the darkness
I watch your every move; I clear the rocks
I'm the voice inside your head you used to trust
Don't look at me like I'm gone, I'm sure I'm not
Don't think of me like I'm dead, I will return
I scream but no one hears my cries
I see through penetrated eyes
The light destroys what was before
Sent into the darkness
Reach out and touch me
I am forever near you
I walk beside you
And I strive to feel you
I go where you go
But I will leave no mark
I see what you see
But my eyes won't open
I hear you speak to me, and I reply
I feel you warm to me; I see you cry
Don't think of me like I'm gone; I never will
I'll be beside your side 'til you're by mine
I scream but no one hears my cries
I see through penetrated eyes
The light destroys what was before
Sent into the darkness
Reach out and touch me
I am forever near you
I walk beside you
And I strive to feel you
I go where you go
But I will leave no mark
I see what you see
But my eyes won't open
Reach out and touch me
I am forever near you
I walk beside you
And I strive to feel you
I go where you go
But I will leave no mark
I see what you see
But my eyes won't open

Quest for Sanity

Walking a lonely road to nowhere
Dreaming of bygone days to come
Hoping to see a lighted tunnel
The daylight comes along to swallow me up
I need you, don't fear me
I've travelled lifetimes to be with you
I feel you, forever near me
I search all through the night to be with you
Living my life in cold seclusion
Hiding from the outside world
Staring pointlessly into the mirror
See your reflection as I beckon you near
I need you, don't fear me
I've travelled lifetimes to be with you
I feel you, forever near me
I search all through the night to be with you
Walking the lonely road through nowhere
Close my eyes to block the nightmares out
Reflecting on the lighted tunnel
Searching endlessly to find a way out
I need you, don't fear me
I've travelled lifetimes to be with you
I feel you, forever near me
I search all through the night to be with you

Another Yesterday
05:34
|
|||
You find me here and wonder why my heart is cold
Constant criticism drives a man alone
Society's cast-outs will walk among the crowd
Invisible to others, always reaching out
I once believed a man was strong
Conviction thrown away
For all the rights that I've done wrong
I yearn another yesterday
Another day, another year, another life
Passing like coincidence on distant shores
A solitary cry in darkness breaks the spell
Another word, another lie, another broken tale to tell
I once believed a man was strong
Conviction thrown away
For all the rights that I've done wrong
I yearn another yesterday
Time goes by and moments drift away
Passing by my eyes
Yesterday, my dreams became a haze
I hope tomorrow never dies
The chance we take, decided
The dice we roll is loaded
The turns we make, provided
Foundations built, corroded in tears

Hang on to Hope
02:41
|
|||
Years have passed and time has slipped away
The faces we once knew remain in yesterday
The plans we make; traditions set in stone
And suddenly you look and find you're all alone
The more you love
The more you lose
The more you crave your right to choose
The more you give
The more they take
But still you fight for your own sake
Our world has changed and voices grow too loud
Wars are raging battle frontlines in the cloud
Forbidden phrases commonplace again
And borders shutting out the differences within
The more you love
The more you lose
The more you crave your right to choose
The more you give
The more they take
But still you fight for your own sake
The more they push
The more we'll stand
The more we battle hand in hand
The more we are
The more we'll cope
And we'll hang on to hope

Another Year
03:40
|
|||
You find me here
Standing on the edge of darkness
Another year, another tear
And all around
Strangers with familiar faces
On the sidelines, I hold my ground
They never told me it would be so hard
They never said that it would break my heart
And then you found me and pulled me near
And so I fight through another year
So here we stand
Together in the age of darkness
Another try, another smile
Holding back
Fighting through the pain and anguish
Another year we hope we won't look back
If they had told me it would be this hard
I would have shown them all it takes is heart
And they would see how much you mean to me
You're my courage through another year

Don't leave me lying here beside myself
Don't leave my eyes open, I can see myself
Don't look at me like I'm gone, I'm sure I'm not
Don't think of me like I'm dead, I will return
I scream but no one hears my cries
I see through penetrated eyes
The light destroys what was before
Sent into the darkness
I watch your every move; I clear the rocks
I'm the voice inside your head you used to trust
Don't look at me like I'm gone, I'm sure I'm not
Don't think of me like I'm dead, I will return
I scream but no one hears my cries
I see through penetrated eyes
The light destroys what was before
Sent into the darkness
Reach out and touch me
I am forever near you
I walk beside you
And I strive to feel you
I go where you go
But I will leave no mark
I see what you see
But my eyes won't open
I hear you speak to me, and I reply
I feel you warm to me; I see you cry
Don't think of me like I'm gone; I never will
I'll be beside your side 'til you're by mine
I scream but no one hears my cries
I see through penetrated eyes
The light destroys what was before
Sent into the darkness
Reach out and touch me
I am forever near you
I walk beside you
And I strive to feel you
I go where you go
But I will leave no mark
I see what you see
But my eyes won't open
Reach out and touch me
I am forever near you
I walk beside you
And I strive to feel you
I go where you go
But I will leave no mark
I see what you see
But my eyes won't open

Fioraidh Glasgow, UK
It's just me, all the way down. Although I do tend to write on my own and play all instruments myself, I have been known to
pull in some collaborations.
I love to experiment, musically, and enjoy playing around with time signatures.
