Unchanged

So what should I say?
Furrowed brows won't stop my fortune from fading away
And the silence I can't break.
And I realise you're on my mind again.
Where distraction is my only vice,
Where my own inherent fears are all that keeps me alive
Where my body starts to creak
Where I curse all of those nights where all I wanted was to sleep
'Cause it's still the same, as yesterday
Yea it still remains unchanged
I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong
And I know I was wrong about you
But I'm so prone to run when I'm scared
And get scared without thinking it through
I hear my solution singing songs and I
Realise I'm unresolved once more
So I'll sit and delegate to another day
Like yesterday and all the days before
So it's still the same as yesterday
Yea it still remains unchanged
But it's none of your concern
The latest lesson I must learn
Taking back what was never mine
I lose what I could never find
So what do you say?
It's not your problem if I long for yesterday
And I'm giving it all away
Still to stubborn to accept that I am soley to blame

Tripwire

Sweet moment's saviour, I'm all yours
My dumbfounded silence and tripwire words
Oh nameless encounter, follow me
Find me in solitude where we meet
The weight of your gaze, and my heavy heart
And all that has lead us to where we are
The fear in my bones, the lump in my throat
I fail to make any sense at all
Oh you should know better but still you fall
Down you fall
She will do better with the next one
The weight of your gaze, and my heavy heart
And all that has lead us to where we are
The fear in my bones, the lump in my throat
I fail to make any sense at all
Resigned to the same page
Turn a leaf, rearrange
Fighting off sleep from fairy tales
Save the future for another day

Entourage
03:24

So ground myself in your entourage
I'm dizzy like a carousel horse
My freight heart is pushing blood to my head
To make sure I stay on course
For each night, a stepping stone
To guide us along
For each step, you get to know
A little more
Two feet on the floor, I'm still on course
To walk home alone
So count my steps and trace them back
For one night more
Sing for me again
Inform me how it ends
Should I sleep so much better with a clearer head?
Or stay up all night with you instead?

Ghost Girl

I must navigate alone, but I'm followed by ghosts
And spirits do not let me sleep
And we're arguing again, but it's only with myself
And the silence that you keep
And it could drive a sane man mad, just to try and understand
How it came to be this way
So if I manage to refrain from thinking of you again
I'll know that I'm ok
As I navigate again, I will try to pretend
That I don't mind where you rest
Like a hand upon your palm is not a hand around my heart
I wish you the best
So take a deep breath, blow off the dust
On a picture frame that never pictured much
Nothing left to burn or throw away
Memories in time will fade to grey
So this is my goodbye
Let the dust settle again
And as the sound of your voice fades, I will turn and walk away
I have let you go

Up Anchor

So up anchor now, set sail at dawn
I'll move to the south it's time I was moving on
One more survivor with a tale to tell
Of when I left you stranded, left you for dead
So sorry, how foolish of me
I'll navigate words to lay hands on your skin
So easily broken so easy pulled in
So draw me a map to wherever you are
And I'll navigate to where you cross your heart
This time it's different I'll swear on the Gods
I'll swear it's forever against all the odds
I'll draw all my strength not to tear you apart
But all that I've ever known is how to break hearts
So sorry, how unfair of me
One more survivor lost at sea
So stay dry, stay warm
Stay far from the waters that I sail on
'Cause the words of a siren will lead you astray
You'll follow the anchors to a watery grave

In The Dead, Dead Wood
by Vennart
supported by 4 fans who also own “Stay Dry, Stay Warm”
I remember in my childhood near a village there was a place full of dead trees, red and dead from all the chemicals that were dumped into the nearby bay from the chemical plant. That's exactly the vibes I get from this effort, similar in story or not. Morbid! But hopefully a wake up call for some as well.
