Feather Fall
Angela Blacklaw, 2013
Too awake to sleep
I taste the dream
Of dancing on air
In scattered clouds
In a slow sky
With a secret sun
And it’s easy come
And easier go
Do you know
How to watch a
Feather fall RPTx4
Now let’s play
Come, slip away
We could share stories
Or we could make them
In a moment
You and I
Breathe through my heart
We can start
To watch a
Feather fall RPTx4
And the grass is dreaming, dreaming
And at last the feel of your skin
And your flesh and your bone, I know
I know what it is to fall
You can call it nothing, nothing
But it’s more than so many somethings
And you got, ooh and you got
What it takes to make a
Feather fall RPTx4

Please Don’t Bring Me Roses
Angela Blacklaw, 2013
Please don’t bring me roses, just
Take off my clothes and
Lay me down
Lay me down
Anything but roses
Take the ring I chose
Stay with me now
Stay with me now
I’m leaving all the promises I made
Leaving is the saddest game I’ve played
Oh it should be easy but now I know
Loving is the hardest part of letting go
Always pretty roses
What d’you suppose, am I
Happy now?
Happy now?
I’m leaving all the promises I made
And leaving is the saddest game I’ve played
Leaving should be easy but now I know
Loving is the hardest part of letting go
Please don’t bring me roses, just
Take off my clothes and
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down

If I Could Feel
Angela Blacklaw, 2013
I can’t wait any longer, longer, no I
Can’t wait any longer, longer and I
Won’t deal with it later, later and I
Have to be this, I have to be this way
Can’t wait any longer, longer, no I
Won’t deal with it later, later and my
Heart’s made out of paper, paper and it
Is what it is and I… and I…
If I could feel
Then I could deal with this heart
Make the beats restart
And let it heal, let it heal
If I could feel
Then I’d be shielding the spark
Tear the demons apart
And dream, for real
If I could feel
Still getting deeper, deeper and it’s
Still getting deeper, deeper and it
Doesn’t really matter, matter and I
Have to be this, I have to be this way
Still getting deeper, deeper and it
Doesn’t really matter, matter but it’s
Just coming closer, closer and it
Is what it is and I… and I…

No Room For Love
Angela Blacklaw, 2014
Love’s a pretty story
A song I learned in a hurry
A dream in the dark and I’m sorry
I believed it was for me
Truth is hard as daylight
Shines a blinding white
But black as the darkest night
So it’s right that you should leave
No room for love
No room for love
Redemption’s just a word
A big idea I heard about
Something I can live without
It’s already over and done
Sleep is taken away now
Leaving me alive as a grave now
Waiting for the morning grey now
When you will be gone
No room for love
No room for love
I can live with my own lies
With a secret as quiet as thunder but
You don’t belong in the underworld
So I’m sending you back to the sun above
No room, no room for love
No room, no room for love

Watch the World Burn
Angela Blacklaw, 2013
V1
A man like you
What doesn’t kill you makes you beautiful
Those dirty eyes can only see the truth
A man like you
V2
Look at me
You got me right where you want me to be
I took your time, you took what made me free
So look at me
Chorus
Watch the world burn
No turning back
Watch the world burn
Turn to ash
V2
So here we go
Two of a kind, too close to take it slow
I should have ripped my heart back long ago
So here we go
Chorus
Watch the world burn
No turning back
Watch the world burn
And crash
M8
Did you ever wonder how it could be
If you could love me so naturally
Or is your hunger for the firing line
And a danger sign?
Chorus
Watch the world burn
No turning back
Watch the world burn
Turn to ash
Watch the world burn
No turning back
Watch the world burn
And crash
Watch the world burn

Secrets and Lies
Angela Blacklaw, 2013
V1
This body fits to mine
Do I only give it time?
Or give it all my little life?
And who I can be?
V2
I find my way there
Then lose myself in the scent of your hair
Is it the beast in you I fear?
Or the animal in me?
Chorus
Secrets and lies
Beautiful disguise
Secrets and lies
In your eyes
V3
I read between the lies
I hear the silence in your eyes
Days keep turning into nights
In the dark of the sun
V4
These games that we play
We lose cos the rules always change
Will you smile and turn away?
Or will I choose to run alone?
Chorus
Breakdown

Don’t Let Me Dream Alone
Angela Blacklaw, 2013
Verse 1
Windows made of water
You melted into rain
Every crystal moment
Sweet poison in my veins
If I can’t sleep does it mean
You’re dreaming of me?
Am I awake there?
Am I free?
Chorus
Come, love,
Don’t let me dream alone
Wake me and take me home
Don’t let me dream alone
Verse 2
It takes a touch of tiger in the blood
It takes the truth as well
To make the big adventure
To break the waking spell
When I don’t breathe does it mean
You’re breathing for me?
Are you awake there?
Are you free?
Chorus
Come, love,
Don’t let me dream alone
Wake me and take me home
Don’t let me dream alone
M8
Love, why so serious?
Why a heart so dark?
You know it isn’t really over
Until I make it start
Chorus x2
Come, love,
Don’t let me dream alone
Wake me and take me home
Don’t let me dream alone
Don’t let me dream alone
Don’t let me dream alone

Siren Song
Angela Blacklaw, 2012
A
Dream in colours
Eyes still asleep
Your face pleases
The empty space that passes for my heart
Without you nights are long
Hear my siren song
Hear my siren song
A
Voices, traces
Down from the mountain places
Feel me
I am the rock that tears you from the sea
The shore you thought you’d rest upon
Hear my siren song
Hear my siren song
B
Don’t think a secret word will set you free
The life in your bones belongs to me
A
Don’t forget me
Dream that you loved me when you met me
That I was beautiful because you never knew
I’m dangerous and wrong
Hear my siren song
Hear my siren song
B
Don’t think a secret word will set you free
The life in your bones belongs to me
A
Sleep together
Back to the sea and sleep
Forever
I was beautiful because you never knew
I’m dangerous and wrong
Hear my siren song
Hear my siren song
Outro
Hear my siren song (RPT)

The Last Kiss
Angela Blacklaw, 2012
Verse 1
Scissors are snapping, I’m cutting your photographs
Curving your silhouette, showing the holes that you
Made in my life
When you left me
Don’t want to remember your face, my rage uncontained
If you can’t be with me I insist that you
Cease to exist
Cos you left me
Chorus
This will be the last kiss we ever share
And all the doves will cry for me in the shivering air, in the shivering air
Verse 2
How can you walk the same earth and breath the same air
And smile in the sun and live in this life
And not love me?
And not miss me?
I will gather the snippets of you and make savage confetti
To throw at your wedding to blind her eyes
And to land in your mouth
So you have to kiss me
Chorus
This will be the last kiss we ever share
And all the doves will cry for me in the shivering air, in the shivering air
M8
One kiss to remind you
What you lost
A kiss of salt water
To increase your thirst
Chorus
This will be the last kiss we ever share
And all the doves will cry for me in the shivering air, in the shivering air
In the shivering air, in the shivering air
