They told her that the jasmine was a blessing of her own
An everlasting echo of her name
It grew to fill the garden as it wrapped around the stone
A mirror of the woman she became
The fragrance of the flowers of her fame
Her jasmine is a memory
She won’t remember when, but she
Surrendered to her grief when it was gone
She flies to find her future, but the jasmine in her dreams
Will always feed the hunger of her soul
Without the scent she recognised, a world of strange extremes
Begins to take whatever made her whole
A flower too intrusive to control
Her jasmine is a memory
She won’t remember when, but she
Surrendered to her grief when it was gone
Before she can resist it, she is choking in the weeds
Her purity polluted by the stink
Unable to accept that what a broken body needs
Is just a little distance, just to think
Too soon, she starts to separate and sink
Her jasmine is a memory
She won’t remember when, but she
Surrendered to her grief when it was gone
Rejected by the people she had thought to call her own
Returning to the certainty she spent
She pushes through the jasmine and embraces it, alone
The potency and power of the scent
Reminds her what its memory has meant
Her jasmine is a memory
She won’t remember when, but she
Surrendered to her grief when it was gone
But memories allow her
To treasure every flower
The jasmine spreads forever, sweet and strong
Returning, she can finally belong

No One
by Nick Gisburne
He knows he is anonymous
They make him disappear
A coward in a corner of his own
A disconcerting negative
They wish he wasn’t here
A strange reclusive, better left alone
He knows that though he struggles no one cares
He pushes through the pressure of their stares
Unbroken by the weight of what he bears
He wants to be a part of it
He wants to find a friend
He wishes he was someone they could see
When every soul dismisses him
He cannot comprehend
The normal that he knows he’ll never be
He knows that though he struggles no one cares
He pushes through the pressure of their stares
Unbroken by the weight of what he bears
Why do they despise
The hunger in his eyes?
He sees their frigid faces
The pallor of these places
And he cries
He tries to be a something
But he knows that he is not
Until the most important penny drops
He calls upon his confidence
With everything he’s got
And screams to bring the stigma to a stop
He punches through the pressure of their stares
Alive at last, he shivers as he swears
With bitterness more bulletproof than theirs
He knows he was anonymous
They made him disappear
But no one can deny it now
The star inside him shines somehow
Invisible no longer
Astonishingly stronger
He was no one
Until now

Cold Addiction
by Nick Gisburne
As the fragments of his future fall away
As he staggers from a world he’ll never see
He is burdened by regret
But the broken cigarette
Brings the comfort of addiction’s crooked key
Cold addiction
It follows like a friend
Cold addiction
Temptation without end
Though the twist of it can open many locks
It inevitably leaves a bitter taste
All the drugs he ever tried
Dug a hole too huge to hide
At the centre of the certainty he chased
Cold addiction
It follows like a friend
Cold addiction
Temptation without end
He has one more smoke, but somehow there’s a catch
He remembers that he doesn’t have a match
Cold addiction
It follows like a friend
Cold addiction
Temptation without end
There are powders in his pockets, but he knows
There is nothing they can do to bring him back
When he throws their pain away
Bruised and broken by the day
His addiction drives a merciless attack
Cold addiction
It follows like a friend
Cold addiction
Temptation without end
When he tries to step outside, to break the chains
In his misery the suffering remains
Cold addiction
It follows like a friend
Cold addiction
Temptation without end
Cold addiction
Leaves a mark he cannot mend

The Reckoning
by Nick Gisburne
Those who took her tried to hide her
Innocence was long denied her
Pleading for their mercy on her knees
Recognise the rage inside her
Patient as a silent spider
Follow where she stares, at what she sees
The reckoning will come
The no one who was numb
Is more than all the moments of her pain
Bruises fade, but hate will never
Boiling in her brain forever
Marking every impact on a map
Suffering she longs to sever
Waiting, watching, cold and clever
Dreaming of the second she will snap
The reckoning will come
The no one who was numb
Is more than all the moments of her pain
She knows that they will pay
And hungers for the dawning of that day
Knowing that they can’t defeat her
Calculating as they beat her
Counting every cruelty she saves
Payment for the way they treat her
Certain that the sun will greet her
Giving back the confidence she craves
The reckoning will come
The no one who was numb
Is more than all the moments of her pain
The reckoning arrives
And only she survives
Returning all the poison of her pain
A venom too corrosive to contain

The Prophecy
by Nick Gisburne
There are pieces of the prophecy she doesn’t understand
There is energy too distant for her touch
When she challenges the darkness with her mutilated hand
When she whispers at the rain
There is pleasure in her pain
But the secrets she is looking for are sleeping in the sand
Is she worthless?
Is she weak?
When she calls she wonders why they will not speak
In a surge of understanding, she is driven by the night
To a corner of her mind she never saw
Through a doorway, through a corridor of unrelenting light
As her questions disappear
There is only faith and fear
As the prophecy, uncovered, slowly penetrates her sight
Can she touch it?
Can it be?
Is the prize inside too filthy to be free?
Through the surface of her skin
As she pulls the power in
She is tangled in the torment of her dream
And surrenders to its terrifying scream
It is more than any mortal mind could ever comprehend
It is more than any body could survive
She is overwhelmed by wonder as she feels her soul descend
In the mysteries of sleep
There is darkness far too deep
But she reaches for the bottom, the inevitable end
Is it evil?
Does it feel?
It embraces her but orders her to kneel
There were pieces of the puzzle she could never understand
But the terror of the beast
And the monster she released
Is not the prophecy she beckoned with her hand
She brings apocalypse, exactly as he planned
He is heartless
He is hungry
He is fury
And forever he is free
He is everything she never thought she’d see
He is everything she wanted him to be

A Little Peace
by Nick Gisburne
The only thing she really wants is just a little peace
A moment of reflection, now and then
But nothing in his arrogance was born to bring release
He sinks her into suffering again
Her mind becomes a canvas for the crime
Her body is a playground for the pain
Dismissive of her cries
His twisted tongue denies
The solitude she needs to keep her sane
She used to be the life and soul, the centre of the world
But all the friends he found were thrown away
And when she took a step outside, his jealousy unfurled
A weak and worthless puppet for his play
Her mind becomes a canvas for the crime
Her body is a playground for the pain
Dismissive of her cries
His twisted tongue denies
The solitude she needs to keep her sane
She loved him once, before he made her cry
She loved him, but she can’t remember why
The only thing she knows is she has had enough of him
There isn’t any hope for what they had
She’s drowning in a sea of spite, but when she starts to swim
The simple answer doesn’t seem so bad
Her mind becomes a canvas for the crime
Her body is a playground for the pain
Dismissive of her cries
His twisted tongue denies
The solitude she needs to keep her sane
She loved him once, before he made her cry
She loved him, but tomorrow he will die
Her mind became a canvas for the crime
Her body was a playground for the pain
Dismissive of her cries
His bleeding body lies
Beneath her, no more sacred than a stain
The man who sent her silently insane
Dismissive of his cries
The bleeding body suffers as he dies

The City She Remembers
by Nick Gisburne
Staring at the city, she is cold
Shivering, she wonders what went wrong
Knowing that her bones are getting old
Knowing she’s too broken to belong
The city she remembers fades away
But bitterness convinces her to stay
This is where she fought to find her place
Crawling in the cracks between the bricks
Every crooked corner, every face
Poured another myth to feed the mix
The city she remembers fades away
But bitterness convinces her to stay
They pull it down and flatten every street
But what they build will never smell so sweet
The city she remembers fades away
But bitterness convinces her to stay
Staring at the city, cold and bright
What was once so wonderful is wrong
Clinical and clean, she stands to fight
The scum who say her people don’t belong
The city she remembers fades away
But bitterness convinces her to stay
Chipping at the surface of the stone
Painting imperfections with her pain
All she needs is all she’s ever known
Feelings that her fury can’t explain
The city she remembers fades away
They took her world and covered it with grey
But bitterness convinces her to stay
Another day

She Was Beautiful
by Nick Gisburne
They say that when they’re finished she will be a work of art
They tell her as they hide behind the lie
Their promise was destroyed before the surgery could start
They scramble to persuade her not to die
They told her she was beautiful today
She shivered as she watched them walk away
They say that there’s a chance she will be well and walking soon
They tell her what they think she wants to hear
But lying on a table on a Monday afternoon
The only thing she reaches for is fear
They told her she was beautiful today
She shivered as she watched them walk away
What happened is impossible to say
She knows she isn’t beautiful today
She knows that she will never be a fucking work of art
She knows that every promise is a lie
She knows she won’t be well and walking, long before they start
What else is there to do but wait to die?
They told her she was beautiful today
She shivered as she watched them walk away
And wondered why not one of them would stay
Tomorrow is a thousand years away
She was beautiful
But that was yesterday

Perfect
by Nick Gisburne
They never told us where they came from
Does it matter now?
What’s important is they’re never going back
When they demolished our defences
Still we wondered how
They could stain the skies and burn the oceans black
When their shadows blocked the sun
We had nowhere else to run
So they took this world by force
Without remorse
They didn’t bring us Armageddon
How did we survive
When the scourge that should have ended us fell down?
The shadows had another purpose
Keeping us alive
Pouring pain on every city, every town
When their shadows blocked the sun
We had nowhere else to run
So they took this world by force
Without remorse
As the world forever turns
Every soul forever burns
Immortal, in our perfect plastic tomb
It’s not important what they wanted
Nothing matters now
We will never die, eternally preserved
But if the shadows won’t release us
All of us, somehow
Will remember we received what we deserved
When their shadows blocked the sun
We had nowhere else to run
So they took this world by force
Without remorse
As the world forever turns
Every soul in silence burns
As the world forever turns
Every soul in silence burns
In the torment of our doom
In our perfect plastic tomb
Forever

There’s a Hedgehog in the Garden
by Nick Gisburne
There’s a hedgehog in the garden
And he comes out every night
He was always very secretive at first
But I soon began to wonder
When he wandered out of sight
If he needed help, and quickly feared the worst.
There’s a hedgehog in the garden
And he comes out every night
If you think you wouldn’t follow him, you might
What I finally discovered
When I looked beneath the shed
Was a secret more amazing than I thought
He was lounging in pyjamas
On a fancy feather bed
Eating fishy tails and snails he’d somehow caught
There’s a hedgehog in the garden
In a room beneath the shed
And he likes to rub his belly when he’s fed
When he saw me there he waved, and with a grin
He told me, “There is room for two, come in!”
I was taken to the kitchen
Where he cooked me up a feast
When I asked him what it was he wouldn’t say
But he offered me a napkin
It was delicately creased
By a cat with half a coat - the local stray
There’s a hedgehog in the garden
And he really doesn’t bite
If you think you wouldn’t follow him, you would
But remember when he feeds you
Something crunchy late at night
That the taste of bugs and beetles won’t be good
If you need to stay away, perhaps you should

The Glory of the Gold
by Nick Gisburne
In the shimmer of his black, satanic seed
In the glimmer of each cold, immortal eye
In the cancer of his flesh
In his marrow, fat and fresh
Burns a misery his hunger cannot feed
And a longing that he knows will never die
In the shimmer of the black
See him crumble. See him crack
He was born to build a universe of lust
But he failed to fill the emptiness of space
When the wonder somehow broke
When his power turned to smoke
He was king of nothing, emperor of dust
Now he waits for someone else to take his place
He was born for life and lust
But his destiny is dust
She is coming. There is glory in her gold
Her malevolence is crooked to the core
She is infinitely thrilled
That her brother could not build
Something better, something bigger, something bold
From her body bursts the birth of something more
In the glory of her gold
She is bigger. She is bold.
There is darkness in her dreams
There is passion in her screams
There is everything her brother could not be
He could never build the sickness she can see.
In the blazing devastation of her mind
In the shadows of the starlight she creates
Stands a sister who will rise
Through the cracked and shattered skies
While her brother, forced to follow, falls behind
In the dirt of her destruction he is blind
Just a glimmer in the glory she designed

A Body in the Street
by Nick Gisburne
You see a body in the street
Begin to drag it by the feet
When it’s the only food you’ll ever find to eat
But then you’re looking at the head
Is this a setup? Is he dead?
And if he’s breathing can you finish him instead?
And so you’re pulling out the steel
To try to make this fucker feel
That now the end of it, the death of it, is real
You take a second for the kill
And take another for the thrill
But then you wonder if you can, and if you will
They tell you discipline is king
But when you murder here’s the thing
Nobody warns you what depravity will bring
Another victim, passing through
Before the end of all you knew
He had a focus and a future, just like you
But when you leave him here to die
Before you turn away to cry
You see a maniac who looks you in the eye
Another scavenger to fight?
A strange illusion of the light?
Starvation tampers with the centre of your sight
You punch the window, break a bone
And see the foul reflection groan
The sole survivor, you are standing here alone
The body, just a piece of wood
Would mock your madness if it could
And try to tell you what you never understood
That there was never any meat
That there is nothing left to eat
And with your final breath the story is complete

It’s an Alien
by Nick Gisburne
When we saw it first and took it home we raised it as a pet
It was strange, but it was lovable and warm
We were shocked before the year was over, when we saw it sweat
When it turned and took a strange, disfigured form
It’s an alien
Of course we know it now
But we don’t know why it chuckles when we bow
In the second stage the alien was pacified by food
We were lucky that it had a taste for wood
When it grew a new appendage we were certain it was rude
But it shrivelled up in winter, which was good
It’s an alien
Of course we know it now
And by Christmas it was bigger than a cow
If you’re listening
It’s glistening
It’s trying hard to split
There is nothing we can do to make it quit
It’s an alien
Of course we know it now
We should send it back, but none of us know how
We were shocked to see the thing become a terrifying head
It is rolling round the garden, and it stinks
When we tried to get the government to study it, they said
They are willing to collect it if it shrinks
It’s an alien
Of course we know it now
It’s an alien
It chuckles when we bow
It’s an alien
It’s bigger than a cow
It’s an alien
And none of us know how it plays the fiddle
Lyrics by Nick Gisburne
Music and vocals created by Suno
When we saw it first and took it home we raised it as a pet
It was strange, but it was lovable and warm
We were shocked before the year was over, when we saw it sweat
When it turned and took a strange, disfigured form
It’s an alien
Of course we know it now
But we don’t know why it chuckles when we bow
In the second stage the alien was pacified by food
We were lucky that it had a taste for wood
When it grew a new appendage we were certain it was rude
But it shrivelled up in winter, which was good
It’s an alien
Of course we know it now
And by Christmas it was bigger than a cow
If you’re listening
It’s glistening
It’s trying hard to split
There is nothing we can do to make it quit
It’s an alien
Of course we know it now
We should send it back, but none of us know how
We were shocked to see the thing become a terrifying head
It is rolling round the garden, and it stinks
When we tried to get the government to study it, they said
They are willing to collect it if it shrinks
It’s an alien
Of course we know it now
It’s an alien
It chuckles when we bow
It’s an alien
It’s bigger than a cow
It’s an alien
And none of us know how it plays the fiddle

She Wonders Why
by Nick Gisburne
She is blinded by the memories of blood
She is sickened by the aftershocks of pain
She remembers how it felt
All the suffering she dealt
From the darkness in her disconnected brain
He had always had it coming
He was always meant to die
But she shivers in the shade and wonders why
He was nothing but a gentleman at first
But the flowers and the kisses couldn’t last
She remembers how it felt
When he struck her with his belt
And the fever of his rage before it passed
He had always had it coming
He was always meant to die
But she shivers in the shade and wonders why
In the summer’s heatwave somehow she was cold
When she woke beside the man she loved she cried
She remembers how it felt
When the final blow she dealt
Took away the seeds of hope she stored inside
He had always had it coming
He was always meant to die
But she shivers in the shade and wonders why
In the aftershocks of pain
In her disconnected brain
She wonders why
He made her cry

Find A Way Within
by Nick Gisburne
Too nervous, I denied it
Was I certain? Was I sure?
Was there anyone to terminate the lie?
But now I stab inside it
Rip the curtain, chase the cure
Break the fingers that are dragging me to die
If I find a way within
If I find a way to win
If I suffocate the darkness of my doubt
If I push my way inside
If I sabotage the tide
I am strong enough to drive the demons out
I’m crawling in the slurry
In the sewage, in the scum
In the tunnels, broken open far too late
I tell myself to hurry
But the cripple I’ve become
Is the filthy fool I always used to hate
If I find a way within
If I find a way to win
If I suffocate the darkness of my doubt
If I push my way inside
If I sabotage the tide
I am strong enough to drive the demons out
The sickness twists inside me
It is brutal. It is black
It is clutching at the corners of my heart
Salvation is denied me
By the poisonous attack
Of an evil far too foul to pull apart
If I find a way within
If I find a way to win
If I suffocate the darkness of my doubt
If I push my way inside
If I sabotage the tide
I am strong enough to drive the demons out
Salvation is denied me
The sickness twists inside me
It is clutching at the corners of my heart
There is only pain within
There was no way I could win
I am smothered by the darkness of my doubt
Though I found a way inside
I was broken by the tide
Never strong enough to drive the demons out
Defeated by a terrifying tide
There is only pain and suffering inside

You Wanted My Heart to Believe
by Nick Gisburne
I wanted this message to reach you in time
When I said I was right I was wrong
A coward who told you it wasn’t a crime
I sang a predictable song
You wanted my heart to believe
You needed my conscience to care
Deserving of all I receive
I break in the storm of your stare
I shouldn’t have doubted the truth of your word
My excuses are never enough
I’ll always remember the hurt that I heard
When you told me to go that was tough
You wanted my heart to believe
You needed my soul to accept
Deserving of all I receive
I break in the whispers you wept
They said he was guilty. They took him away.
But today isn’t where it will end
The look in your eyes is the price I will pay
For the pain my remorse will not mend
You wanted my heart to believe
You needed my hand in your own
Deserving of all I receive
I break as I stand here alone
I break when I know you won’t answer the phone.

Piles of Treasure
by Nick Gisburne
Though the size of it, the weight, the wonder, overwhelms his mind
There is nothing he can do but pile it high
In the chaos of his castle it’s impossible to find
Any answer, any rhyme or reason why
In the stinking piles of treasure, is there gold?
Is he proud of every dirty, dusty prize?
In his eyes, however broken
He finds another token
Of a world which never sees him getting old
There are avenues and alleyways. His corridors collapse
On the summit of a stockpile lies a bed
When he finds a piece of pleasure he imagines that perhaps
Someone else will see the story in his head
In the stinking piles of treasure, is there truth?
Is he proud of what his kingdom has become?
In his eyes, however broken
He finds another token
Of a system he rejected in his youth
He believes that there is nothing better, nothing more than this
There is order. There is purpose to the plan
When he crawls into a corner, finds a bottle, takes a piss
No one tells him how to be a better man
In the stinking piles of treasure, is there hope?
Is he proud of how he spends his final days?
In his eyes, however broken
He finds another token
Of a system too insane to spare him soap
There is nothing he can do but pile it high
No one ever thinks to find the reason why
In the stinking piles of treasure, is there peace?
Is he proud of what his palisade becomes?
In his eyes, however broken
He finds another token
Of a system where the pressures never cease
In a system where he longs to find release

Open Every Door
by Nick Gisburne
When you shivered at my secret, did you see?
Was there something in its rhythm that was real?
I can open every door
I have the key
But I need you to remember, and to feel
I can open every door
Broken memories, and more
All the misery you swore
Would not survive
There is nothing more to challenge or deny
Storms of silence cast their shadows on your soul
When you scream in deep denial
When you cry
Turn your face to find the innocence they stole
I can open every dream
But the echoes of a scream
In a cloud of smoke and steam
Will come alive
Wake the ghosts who took your trauma to the grave
Piece by piece remove the power from their hands
Have the courage to confront your fears to save
The life you thought would never make new plans
I can promise every day
While you need me I will stay
Take my hand and walk away
It’s time to thrive
We can open every door
Make new memories, and more
This is what the fight is for
Be strong
Survive.

Are You There?
by Nick Gisburne
I was never meant to take this twisted road
I was always told to turn away, to run
In my arrogance I thought I’d break the code
But before I took the turning I was done
Is there anyone? (to see)
Anyone there? (for me)
Do you care?
Do you dare?
Will you offer me a prayer?
You won’t.
I don’t believe it.
Are you there?
It was dark and it was dirty. It was black.
All the stars went out in silence, one by one
When I knew that I was never coming back
I pretended I was free, but found a gun
Is there anyone? (to see)
Anyone there? (for me)
Do you care?
Do you dare?
Will you offer me a prayer?
You won’t.
I don’t believe it.
Are you there?
There were never any signs for me to see
All the turnings took me further from the light
When I doubled back I knew what I would be
A beast. A brute. A creature of the night.
Is there anyone? (to see)
Anyone there? (for me)
Do you care?
Do you dare?
Will you offer me a prayer?
You won’t.
I don’t believe it.
Are you there?
I was never meant to take this twisted road
But the demons deep inside me broke the code
Is there anyone? (to see)
Anyone there? (for me)
Do you care?
Do you dare?
Will you offer me a prayer?
You won’t.
I don’t believe it.
Are you there?

The Wrong Stuff
by Nick Gisburne
It’s the wrong stuff
Broken
Never made to work
All the dirty pieces twist but never fit
It’s the wrong stuff
Rotten
Stinking in the murk
Tell me why
Don’t lie
I’ve had enough of it
If I bend it or I burn it or I smash it with a stick
If I try to fix the fault or make it whole
I can never, ever, trigger it, however slow or slick
It’s a pain, a punch, a danger to the soul
It’s the wrong stuff
Broken
Never made to work
All the dirty pieces twist but never fit
It’s the wrong stuff
Rotten
Stinking in the murk
Tell me why
Don’t lie
I’m sliding in the spit
I’m sliding in the spit
It’s the future I was given from a bucket, like the rest
It’s the life I never wanted, never dreamed
It is all the crushing disappointments pounding on my chest
It is what they gave every time I screamed
It’s the wrong stuff
Broken
Never made to work
All the dirty pieces twist but never fit
It’s the wrong stuff
Rotten
Stinking in the murk
Tell me why
Don’t lie
I’m swimming in the shit
I’m swimming in the shit
If I had to give it back
Or take another, take a life
Rip it open with my fingers till they bleed
I would dive inside the black
And slice the sinews with a knife
On some other broken body I would feed
It’s the wrong stuff
Broken
Never made to work
All the dirty pieces twist but never fit
It’s the wrong stuff
Rotten
Stinking in the murk
Tell me why
Don’t lie
Tell me why
Don’t lie
I’ve had enough of it
I’ve had enough of shit
