The midnight thoughts of a cast adrift
Astronaut
Nature sings
And I can’t resist
The sorrow of something I miss
Hear my silence
Be my witness
And the favour
I’ll return
The pressing sky
We cannot breathe
Here on the outside of everything
But we’re kindred spirits and we know
We wouldn’t want to feel at home
Everyone talks
About the weather
We don’t
I’m not asking to be saved
Just an ember to be placed
In a corner of your heart
Carry me that way
The midnight thoughts of a cast adrift
Astronaut
Nature sings
And I’m too aware
There’s a yearning that’s leading nowhere
Hear my silence
All I can conjure
I know we’re lost
As if that matters!
I’m not asking to be saved
Just an ember to be placed
In a corner of your heart
Carry me that way

The Death Of Silence

Maintaining radio silence
Keeping a low profile
Facing a world of white noise
Just became a trial
Talking all the time
Do they ever pause for breath?
There’ll be no minutes silence
For silence and its death
Now everyone’s a publisher
And there’s ‘no less said the better’
What is and isn’t worth saying
Hardly seems to matter
Everybody wants to tell you everything
There’s no mystery anymore
Everybody feels the need to confess
I just wish they’d tell me less
Everybody wants to tell you everything
There’s no mystery anymore
Everybody feels the need to confess
I just wish they’d tell me less
Maintaining radio silence
Keeping a low profile
As the noise around me increased
I became more quiet

Ancient Fiction

Tired of ancient fiction
Tired of superstition
I fear no hell
Expect no heaven
Tired of irrational rituals
Tired of a lack of miracles
No evidence forthcoming
We are born non-believers
Then led astray
Ideas from our beginnings
Myths of the cave
Ideas we should have outgrown
Poison modern living
Time for joined-up thinking
The same rules applying to everything
Why the privileged protection?
Faith is not a virtue
Faith is not untouchable
Everything’s there to be questioned
Such groundless assertions
Shouldn’t go unchallenged
Belief is not above
Rational inquiry
Prayers for the victims
The definition of irony
Tired of ancient fiction
Tired of superstition
I fear no hell
Expect no heaven
Tired of irrational rituals
Tired of a lack of miracles
No evidence forthcoming
