Daily Lyrics

Love Is Close

By Blynds on

It’s just another song
About those three words
They’re the toughest ones
To say to you or anyone

Fear of showing
How soft you are
To someone you care for
Rejection is always possible

Who is more important
You or me
My feelings or yours
Why do we take sides
There are always sides
Where humans are unloved

Are we together or apart
It’s just the story of our world
Love is close
To close to hate
Until you feel true love
You barely know the difference

Moon Dancing

By Blynds on

The moon is making waves tonight
Blood red set on fire
Throwing shadows in the dark
Rising slowly rising higher

We can watch it from our room
Let it draw us in
It’s a dancer in the sky
Now we are together we begin

Moon dancing
Shadow casting
Spell binding
Everlasting

Water looks warm tonight
Reflections of the fire

We can watch it on the sand
It’s calling us knows our name
Dancing in the clouds tonight
We move and make a picture frame

White bright
Silver white
Faster rise
Until the night is lost

Where The Heart Will Be

By Blynds on

We took a walk on the pier
Down on the lower side
The wind was rising up
The sky slate like fear

We talked above the birds
Screeching like a song
A long forgotten story
Set to sound and words

What was it that you said
I thought I heard you say
It’s just the back door
Birds coming back around again

The water on the ground
Like glass and mirrored walls
I thought I caught a glance
And then you turned around

Sitting in the stands
So cold and winter nights
I fell asleep and dreamed
You carried me back home

It’s where the heart will be
Until there’s no one left
And right in the early morning
We’ll sit and drink black tea

Glorious

By Blynds on

Sometimes it feels so good it hurts
And you can do your worst
Now my heart is fit to burst
All for you for what it’s worth

Sometimes it’s deeper than it cuts
Flesh and bone is never enough
Skin to skin the precious touch
You’re holding on I know it’s tough

When it feels so good it hurts
We’re spinning out of orbit on the cusp
The void we feel is both of us
Sometimes it feels so glorious

Who are we
An entity
With love
Are we free

Children Of The Revolution

By Blynds on

How many people are we
How many trials until we belong
How many mountains can we climb
How many people sing this rebel song

How have we come to this
We know ourselves and fear each other
When will we get betrayed
When you do it to your own mother

We are children
Of the revolution
And your daddy locked
In the institution

Don’t rock the boat baby
And push the kid over
We’re still looking for a sign
Still looking for a mother

How Long

By Blynds on

I need a little peace
My mind is a racing car
Formula chaos speaks
I’m blind to the North Star

There’s nothing to be done
Sit back enjoy the ride
Fear and delirium
Imposters please be denied

How long
How long
For a wave to smooth a stone
How long
How long
To be saved and safe at home

There’s a crack in the fence
At the house on the beach
It lets the light in
Just enough to see
If we could only reach it
Touch it from afar

We Are Waiting

By Blynds on

Allowed myself
The luxury
Of a sick day
Off from work
My wife thinks
I’m crazy
It looks like
Mutant giants
Have taken over
My mind
Their job is
To kill us
And wait
For the instructions

Sleep
We are waiting
Sleep
We are waiting for the time to wake up

Three Things

By Blynds on

She sings
Always three things
So okay three rings
On her fingers
One for him one for her
One for her father

Something specials in her eyes
A piece of sun
Explosion of light
Makes my heart run
Like a Clockwork Orange
Her energy gives me courage


He buys and sells cars
Parks them in the rear
His queens are all full up
On petrol juice and beer

Perfect picture pretty
Living like Walter Mitty
Everything is good
What’s underneath the hood

We Are Love

By Blynds on

You can tell me I don’t have a good life
Got no fancy car or perfect wife
You can say I’m not educated
Read a book once or twice

You can say I’m living in squalor and shite
Rubble and concrete my playground of choice
You say I despise your idea of God
These differences don’t make us men or mice

Only love is love
And only we can love
For love is all
And we are love

Tell me something I don’t know
About your world and how you live
I guess it’s all like a TV show
Full of sunshine and teeth so white

Constant news keeping you in fear
Electronic screens to dream your dreams
And chemical trails like a glass tear
Falling on a soulless meme

Take it back
A simple push
No heart attack
Let fear be crushed

Under Control

By Blynds on

We traveled the world
We’ve gone back around again
Through thunder and lightning
Anger and disdain

We carried you with us
Pushed you to grow
Until you had the chutzpah
To take blow after blow

How you feeling now
Bruised and blue
Diving for air
Under control
Control of your soul

We took you apart
The zeros and ones
Your deepest desires
Under the sun

We zoomed in and in
Where space collides
The essence of love
Explodes in our eyes

How are you feeling now
Black and Blue
Diving for knowledge
For something so new

You’re under control
You’re under control
Control of your soul
Control of your soul

Never thought it could happen
Never knew it could be
Never dreamed of an ocean
Never prayed for the free
