Your eyes were an ocean
And I was endlessly lost in an endless sea
Your hands were scales
They weighed me up, balanced me, weighed me down and challenged me
Your heart was a desert
By day it scalded me but by night it froze my feet
Your mind was a labyrinth
I never knew which way to turn when we would meet
I am unchanging
But you are a changeling
You’ll never see me fade
You’ll never see me fray
You’ll never rearrange
The faces that I paint
My eyes were a window
They let you see through the pain, to see that love remains
My hands were cushions
They softened the blows as I watched the chaos of your mind unfold
My heart was an anvil
Heavy as steel, but just as strong, and with room to heal
My mind was a fortress
But I let my defences down and had to go to ground
I am unchanging
But you are a changeling
You’ll never see me fade
You’ll never see me fray
You’ll never rearrange
The faces that I paint

The boy in the wolf suit screams quite loudly
Moving backwards, drifting slowly
The boy in the wolf suit screams quite loudly
Overcome by all that scares him
Can you hear him now
Can you hear him now
Can you hear him now
The boy in the wolf suit treads so carefully
Fearing change of all the space around him
The boy in the wolf suit treads so carefully
Losing sight of all the hope and glory
Can you see him now
Can you see him now
Can you see him now
The boy in the wolf suit sits and listens
Words fall gently and mend him swiftly
The boy in the wolf suit sits and listens
Reaching out, he grabs his mind and bends it
Can you help him now
Can you show him how
Can you let him out
The boy in the wolf suit
Screams so loudly
The boy in the wolf suit
Bleeds so proudly

Tumbling down the rabbit hole
My sunlight is fading
Twisting my reality
My shadows are waiting
Do I pull myself out of this dream I’ve created
Or just let my spirit flow
As intensity rises, my mind, it capsizes
The deeper down I go
Do I pull myself out of this dream I've created
Or just let my spirit flow
As intensity rises, my brain paralyses
The fear of letting go
Exorcising my demons
Crystallising in front of me
Taking in my surroundings
Face to face with my enemy
Do I pull myself out of this dream I’ve created
Or just let my spirit flow
As intensity rises, my mind, it capsizes
The deeper down I go
Do I pull myself out of this dream I've created
Or just let my spirit flow
As intensity rises, my brain paralyses
The fear of letting go
Deep down in the rabbit hole
My sunlight is fading
Deep down in the rabbit hole
my shadows are waiting

Down by the riverside
Movements are flowing
Down by the riverside
Feelings are growing
Down by the riverside
I hear it calling
Down by the riverside
To save me from falling
The wind and the water
The birds and the trees, all around me and speaking their language
The silence of solitude
The feeling of being so present and caught in this moment
Down by the riverside
Free as the breeze
Down by the riverside
Sleeping with ease
Down by the riverside
I hear it whisper
Down by the riverside
To save me from this year, and every year after
The wind and the water
The birds and the trees, all around me and speaking their language
The silence of solitude
The feeling of being so present and caught in this moment
Things often get worse before they get better
Before the sun shines, the sky cries, and the ground gets wetter
So open up your eyes, thus opening your mind
And realise that the real treasures in life
Are the ones you’ve yet to find
Not the ones borne of strife, but the ones that shall be your guiding light
Through these darkened times
Of blurred lines, unanswered questions and emotional landmines
Look deep within yourself
And maximise the potential of your mental health
A wealth you can ill-afford to lose
I have seen that light and I have lingered in the shade
Basked in brighter days and lived through areas grey
And so I say to you, the clouds will pass and only then
Will the warm embrace of the sun shine on you again
So while the storm rages, the wind changes and shows it’s many faces
Embrace the rain, the pain it brings
And do not regret it
Keep it at a safe distance
But do not forget it
The restless tide is ever-changing
Flow like it’s waters, rearranging the scattered pieces of your mind
In time
The glory of the sun will guide
And you
Renewed
Will become the river

My Friend, the Moon

Early morning, rise and shine
Sing at the top of your lungs
Brush your hair and clean your teeth
Put your butterfly wings on
Ready for the new day’s quest
Everyone’s waiting for you
The golden sun is warm and bright
But nowhere near as pretty as the moon
Did you know, did you know
Which way the wind blows
Did you know, did you know
Which way the rivers flow
Did you know, did you know
Which way the flowers grow
Did you know, did you know
Everything you’ll ever know
Men from Mars and spiders eyes
Shells in the garden realm
Dancing in the morning light
Pause only for a bite
Press play and resume the day
The golden sun, it gives me life
But nowhere near as much light as the moon
Did you know, did you know
Which way the wind blows
Did you know, did you know
Which way the rivers flow
Did you know, did you know
Which way the flowers grow
Did you know, did you know
Everything you’ll ever know
And anyway...
Well anyway...
Yes, anyway...
And anyway...
Did you know, did you know
Which way the wind blows
Did you know, did you know
Which way the rivers flow
Did you know, did you know
Which way the flowers grow
Did you know, did you know
Everything you’ll ever know

A.M. Davis Southampton, UK
Alt-folk songwriter hailing from the UK. Largely exploring the subject of deep human emotion in his lyrics, through his own experiences and observations, his songs can often have a sombre and introverted feel to them; his quiet stage presence often a reflection of this. In stark contrast, his love of rock and prog is never far behind and his music can shift from calm to visceral in a heartbeat. ... more
