The Lonely Little Boat
I wasn’t always the only boat There were lots of us, once Everywhere you looked there were boats With sails in every colour And the shouts of the men Mixed with the gulls and swaying ropes, was music Then one day the song ended Everyone started to pack up and sail away The harbour wasn’t safe Too many people, they said I don’t know what it meant All I know is, one day my friends started to leave And I don’t know when they’ll come back The gulls are still around Though they ca

The Neon Hunting Ground
Be careful when you enter the neon hunting ground For there are hundreds of predators around All waiting for their latest kill And getting caught is half the thrill Now I'm praying the smoke, and perfume liquor will hide my smell And the flashing lights will blind you, If I move deathly still But I can feel your feet stalking closer, Over the pounding beat And your breath on my skin When you finally reach me And If you catch me I'm at your mercy So go ahead and kill me

No Such Luck for the Miller's Daughter
My life seemed charmed I wanted for nothing, more than I had The treasured daughter, to a proud father Until his pride was my doom Now his grand claims have me locked inside this room At the mercy of a king With an unquenchable appetite for gold And moods that dance on a knife’s edge I begged for mercy, he wouldn’t listen He set before me an impossible task To turn this straw into golden string By morning Holding my life ransom If I fail, it means death I thought I was saved,

Battōsai
I walk in the shadow of a manslayer Who one day found me And steered me away From a path, I could never find We turned to the woods, at the roadside And made our way inside It's alright, he told me You can leave your life behind If it no longer fits right Though some will never let you forget Who you once were They'll cling to the old names Following you like a shadow Claiming that's all you'll be Until you die And you can try to outrun your past But you'll never truly hide B

Maiden's Blossoming
Dawn breaks on the willow To siren birdsong The longing grows like ivy Ensnaring you slowly Temptation hangs from the trees Fragrant and sweet as a peach The juice stains like blood Half-eaten fruit falls to the earth An apple becomes a pomegranate Or did it happen in reverse? All the seeds are plundered Collapsed and discarded In the roots, she sleeps The snake in the grass Slithers through the weeds When the shadows ensnare It is yourself standing there Trapped behind a mir
