Alien Friend

if i had a place to go
when my spirit leaves this earth,
i'd inhabit another planet
in a different universe.
there i'd seek all of the answers
from my first life.
desire falls to greed for more than we need
in the conquest to survive.
if i met an alien
i'd be taken by surprise.
to find out she looks just like me
would be a terrifying sight.
she knows the secrets of civilisation
and how to set the world straight.
she knows where she belongs, writes perfect songs
and understands her place.
oh my little alien friend,
you and i can play pretend.
i'll braid your hair, i'm not sure i care
about anything anymore

Rain Song

i wish i could run away from paris
and believe in somewhere better.
my parents and teachers hate me now
so i'll leave with the weather
the rain wash me away,
in this black and white city i am alone.
i am a coin in the fountain
but my luck has run out, my wishes are gone.
i never learnt how to behave
to the satisfaction of others.
for thirty years i sit and wait
for something more to discover.
but i was so in love
that i forgot i don't exist.
to you i am another face in the crowd
and the easiest one to miss.
the rain, wash me away,
in this black and white city i am alone.
i am a coin in the fountain
but my luck has run out, my wishes are gone

looking out for another
is a simple thing
trivialised by over compensating pride
excess masculinity hurts you and others
and makes no sense to me.
father, can you tell me why it's all turning blue?
i know i can never be good enough for them but can i be good enough for you?
please churn my emotions into something useful.
manufacture my growth.
if i was on tv
would you stop and look at me
or change the channel so quickly?
i have no patience left
no escape.
and my worry is overbearing
constant concern
plaguing nausea
but i know laura you'll be fine.
headlines fly past like horror shows
so what's it worth if this is all normal
desensitised from your sorrow.

ghost, are you around me?
can you feel me when I'm near?
you are someone and i am someone
but you hide in the middle world
and I'm on earth hiding.
take me to the middle world
break the laws of science.
ghost, i have changed
since we last met
but my heart still thinks of you
often.
if i sold you my soul
would you sell me hope?
if i sold you my soul
would you lie?
is arrogant for me to want answers?
