A New Place 03:20
Where does that place go? And why don't I know? The place looked good to me Knew there I would be happy The smiling people and the light Everything clean and new and bright I cycled up the hill I saw the city there The door was open, and I went through But later I was scared We can't feel good all of the time I don't feel good all of the time It smelt of a new place This place is really new I'm not at war with you There we are seperate, we're not opposed And there is room for two Your worth does not define my worth Because there isn't any worth

My logic was twisted Live life to the full Fear and reassurance Back and forth they pull The end is something happy I think that someone said Hell is a construction (I don't think it exists) We're ok when we're dead The joy when I cry The doubt in my mind I roll and I writhe The logic is mine Explosion in the sky I want you to be mine I scream myself dry I tear myself wide The pain is going by Bliss is behind Once you were mine, and I left you behind Was living to cry Your body was divine I wanted to fly I wanted to die I loved you all the time The curve of your spine The agony was mine The joy was the sign We die when its time I wanted to hide I saw it that night The virus outside I found it inside

Edward 04:52
A song in the leaves The sun is coming through Water falling over stone I'm running in the green Leaping over streams Tumbling and falling, river down below A rope from a tree High up on a slope They're over there I faint and I swoon His friends are from a different school If they see me what will I do? They're all over there Shapes I never knew Colours I never seen before I've never felt like this before What will they say? What will they see? Stupid vulnerable me Its with them I would die to be Edward He scoffs He exists to mock you I love you I hate you Edward

Lindsey 05:52
A hedge of small green leaves Seperates my house from yours Elle est ma meilleure amie Ma voisine that lives next door Lindsey a les cheveux bruns Dans la tente sur la pelouse Back garden in the sun On est entrés et on s'est vus Connection, connection, its wrong Programmed to be depraved Le peché originel Child who was born this way Needs protection from himself Let them not live or touch La nature est refoulée Wrong should they do so much L'enfant sera humilié Connection, connection, its wrong You called me down Went outside to play out La tienda cerrada La rope al lado Undressed Protégeme señor de mi pecado Soy malo

Bluebell, bracken, ash leaf, oak leaf, fern I was there Water from the past returned You were there Watched the steam too hot, too clean to enter there Oh the flush of your face, your neck and your hair Your pale glow everywhere All the rocks out on the mountainside Have departed with the sky I fell in it to infinite endlessness Twilight there on your breast but I never guessed that I could remain there I'm going home she says Back to Mexico My eyes drip blood and pain It runs down from my nose I cry now for my past I sob for all I've seen Not really lived at last It was all a dream My life was all half-bought But never outright Seems I was never taught to see what is in sight

The Wolf 06:50
The wolf lived on this own in a cold dark forest Where the hills are silver at dawn Wandering low, alone in his home Slept on the silent forest floor In his home he was alone, the forest was cold And the spiders webs There where noone did go, the wolf was alone There lived in a cabin there An old man, his son and daughter in law With them the wolf was obsessed They'd never have guessed He'd lie under their shack, ear to the floor For 'neath their home was a hole Noone did know And the wolf could hide at night as they sat inside He knew their names, the jokes that they made It seemed they were his friends, or so he'd pretend alone in the trees But the wolf had never actually spoken to his friends at all One day the wolf passed the shelter with the dusk on the trees When there from door there was a call Someone help, help me The wolf he ran, saw the old man Not planned, sudenly there Where he'd never dared But the old man was kind He thanked the wolf, and asked him to stay a while So the wolf did stay Then a noise made the wolf's heart pound Two young people came into view The wolf leapt from his chair His mind filled with despair But the words that he heard seemed not to be true Wolf, don't go We'd like to know more about thee Here you're at home Don't leave The forest is cold We will make tea Here you're at ease
