Alluring Extremes

There is no path, the destinations unknow
We’re all misplaced, travelling alone
None of us know where, we’re meant to be
None of us can predict, with any certainty
And never trust anyone, who claims they can see

No-one knows why, we’re really here
The meaning of it all, and why we persevere
Just finding our way, a truth a mantra
Forging a trail, our own raison d’être
And never trust anyone, who claims they know the answer

Can you be lost, if you don’t know where you’re going?
Can you be lost, if your escaping where you’ve been?
We’re on our unique journey, trying to evade the weeds
Tempted by the visions, of alluring extremes
Tempted by the promise, of alluring extremes

There are no wrong choices, only different routes
Easy and hard options, short cuts to pursue
Don’t be fooled by glitter, efforts not biased
Karma can be hazardous, and life is non-compliant
And never trust anyone, who claims they have triumphed

Can you be lost, if you don’t know where you’re going?
Can you be lost, if your escaping where you’ve been?
We’re on our unique journey, trying to evade the weeds
Tempted by the visions, of alluring extremes
Tempted by the promise, of alluring extremes
Tempted by the vision, of alluring extremes

I Ain’t ever Loved No One

Written By : Donovan Woods

I guess before I met ya
I didn’t know better
You swept in out of nowhere
When I thought I’d never go there
And you set the bar
for this stubborn heart
And when you met my family,
Everybody knew that you had me wrapped
I ain’t ever loved no one like that
And when I said I loved ya,
I didn’t care if you said it back
I ain’t ever loved no one like that

If you’d have just kept walkin’
And we’d never got to talkin’
I could go on existin’
Not knowin’ what I was missin’
But you set the bar
for this stubborn heart
When you met my family,
Everybody knew that you had me wrapped, I ain’t ever loved no one like that
When I said I loved ya, I didn’t care if you said it back
I ain’t ever loved no one like that

And maybe I’ll love again, then again, maybe I won’t
Maybe you feel the same, maybe you don’t
How would I know?

‘Cause when you met my family,
Everybody knew that you had me wrapped
I ain’t ever loved no one like that
And when I said I loved ya,
I didn’t care if you said it back
I ain’t ever loved no one like that
I ain’t ever loved no one like that
I ain’t ever loved no one like that
I ain’t ever loved no one like that

Shock and Awe

As we watch… You say anything you please
And we watch… You don’t have to believe
And we watch… As your power corrupts
And we know… Your paranoid and distrust

As we shout… You use a God’s name
And we shout… For your own perverse gain
And we shout… As your ego makes choices
And we know… Your plans are born of psychosis

As we march… Your followers obey
And we march… Listening to lies you say
And we march… They believe your propaganda
And we know… Their hatred and their anger

It’s not about freedom, it’s control and privilege
Your arrogance your vanity, your conceited image

You bully and tease, you break the law
A game for the insane, of ‘Shock and Awe’

As we pray… You conceive your spin
And we pray… You intimidate to win
And we pray… You trick others to fall
And we know… You aren’t that smart at all

It’s not about freedom, it’s control and privilege
Your arrogance your pride, your conceited image

You bully and tease, you break the law
A game for the insane, of ‘Shock and Awe’

You’re making it up, for your TV show
Controlling the narrative, where realities forgo
Choosing to be blinkered, not trying to inspire
And the world watches on, at the end of an empire

Just lies upon lies, you bury the truth
Your incestuous flaws, in ‘Shock and Awe’

[Fletch]

Well done Lorrie… 🙂

Love that track… Maybe I should do a cover.. 🙂

The Writers House

Will you take me back, to the Western Isles
Lewis where perspective, calms and beguiles

When you travel there, you fade away
Disappear into silence, of unfamiliar ways
Blend into shadow, in Stornoway’s haze
Frozen in history, by a Callanish gaze

Wild Uig Bay, in the glinting moonlight
A dram of Abhainn Dearg, to keep you warm at night
Giants at Dun Borranish, with stories to write
Longing to return, when fortune is right

Will you take me back, to the Western Isles
Lewis where perspective, calms and beguiles
The Writers House, where dreams are explained
Your vision exists, and your music is made
Take me, Take me

Leave chaos behind, and the speed of decay
Those feelings of anxiety, and having to obey
To a simpler pace, with echoes of yesterday
A land in tune, with what think and say

Will you take me back, to the Western Isles

Lewis where perspective, calms and beguiles
The Writers House, where dreams are explained
Your vision exists, and your music is made
Take me, Take me
