Crawling in a corner of creation
Waiting for a toxic twist of time
He is more than just a monstrous aberration
In the psychedelic slime
He is patient as he contemplates his crime
When the chaos breeds him
When corruption feeds him
When he understands the sickness he can share
He begins to build an empire of despair
Fathered by a thousand desecrations
Spawning in a suicidal sea
In a lake of undigested violations
He is eager to be free
As he dreams of what his wickedness will be
When the chaos breeds him
When corruption feeds him
When he understands the sickness he can share
He begins to build an empire of despair
In the horror of his breath
In the majesty of death
In the suffering of everything he sees
His blood will bring the future to its knees
Surging from a septic resurrection
Feasting on the worthless and the weak
There is beauty in the pain of his perfection
Every mutilated freak
Every crippled servant kneels to hear him speak
With a whispered word he dooms them
As his appetite consumes them
In his empire of despair
There is nothing but the suffering they share
When the chaos breeds him
When corruption feeds him
He is evil
He is endless
He will strip the blackness bare
When his body breathes the fear-infected air
In the ashes of an empire of despair

A Splinter of Her Soul
by Nick Gisburne
They poison her with lies until her feelings fall apart
Their merciless deceptions drain her dry
She dreams of being strong enough to build a bigger heart
But cannot catch the confidence to try
Four walls
Four corners
Just enough, for now
When all her days are all for nothing
A splinter of her soul survives, somehow
They fill her frozen emptiness with bitterness and spite
A thousand hooks of hatred drag her down
They bully her defences with insatiable delight
She wonders why they work to watch her drown
Four walls
Four corners
Just enough, for now
When all her days are all for nothing
A splinter of her soul survives, somehow
She understands at last that every prison has a door
An unfamiliar freedom she could never find before
Disarming every sick, sadistic insult with a smile
Her walls become a comfort, not a curse
With passions too protective for their darkness to defile
Emotions too relentless to reverse
No walls
No worries
Nothing matters now
Rejecting what is rotten
All their falsehoods are forgotten
A catalogue of pain she can’t allow
Their poisons disappear
With nothing more to fear
When courage gives her just enough, for now
A splinter of her soul survives, somehow

Find Another Way
by Nick Gisburne
She sees the scars that life has left behind
The injuries that time will not repair
But in her cold reflection it’s impossible to find
A penny’s worth of pity in her stare
Regret is not a cross she needs to bear
She’s a woman who will bend but never break
On a path that only she would ever take
When she’s down but not defeated
With her problems uncompleted
When she struggles to defy a darker day
She reminds herself to find another way
Her journey is a battle to believe
She doubted she was strong enough to fight
But courage makes her confident of what she can achieve
The questions she encounters every night
Reveal to her the reasons she is right
She’s a woman who will bend but never break
On a path that only she would ever take
When she’s down but not defeated
With her problems uncompleted
When she struggles to defy a darker day
She reminds herself to find another way
Her face is more than memories or dreams
The pages of a never-ending play
She knows her transformation is the tragedy it seems
A life from which she cannot walk away
The pain that tries to break her, day by day
In the mirror there is nothing more to see
There is only what she knows she had to be
She’s a woman who will bend but never break
On a path that only she would ever take
When she’s down but not defeated
With her problems uncompleted
When she struggles to defy a darker day
She reminds herself to find another way
When she sees the scars that life has left behind
When she’s fearful of the future she will find
When she struggles to defy a darker day
She reminds herself to find another way

It Hurts
by Nick Gisburne
She understands that no one really cares
She knows they’re all too occupied to spare their precious time
It doesn’t make a difference what she shares
The pillars of her pride were never theirs
But something in her soul defies the damage of their crime
It hurts when she believes she’s not enough
It hurts when she remembers how she tried
It hurts when every feeling falters
Time becomes too tough
When passion is relentlessly denied
The pain of it persuades her not to hide
She wonders what her heart would have to do
To detonate their passions and convince them to believe
But when she tries to shock with something new
Accepting only honesty is true
She finds a new momentum, something certain to achieve
It hurts when she believes she’s not enough
It hurts when she remembers how she tried
It hurts when every feeling falters
Time becomes too tough
When passion is relentlessly denied
The pain of it persuades her not to hide
Retreating to the shadows in her soul
She shivers in the tainted starlight no one ever sees
Discovering the strength they never stole
Emerging from her dreams to take control
She celebrates herself, and brings her doubters to their knees
It hurts when she believes she’s not enough
It hurts when she remembers how she tried
It hurts when every feeling falters
Time becomes too tough
When passion is relentlessly denied
The pain of it persuades her not to hide
She understands the faces of her fear
Indifference will make them disappear
It hurts them when their words are not enough
It hurts them when their distance is defied
It hurts them when she never falters
Time has made her tough
With passion more relentless than the tide
The pain they push is swiftly swept aside
It hurts, but she is ready for the ride
It hurts, but not enough to make her hide

The Psychedelic Strange
by Nick Gisburne
He shivers as the needle breaks the skin
Delivering a poison to the vein
A freezing metamorphosis within
Contorts him as he wrestles with the pain
Celebrate the psychedelic strange
Twisting through the disconnected dark
Grip the courage you are given
As you try to taste the change
Every sinew craves a signal or a spark
But the medicine of madness leaves a mark
The venom cruises quickly to the heart
It slithers through the doorway of his soul
A liquid, artificial work of art
At once destroys his life, but makes him whole
Celebrate the psychedelic strange
Twisting through the disconnected dark
Grip the courage you are given
As you try to taste the change
Every sinew craves a signal or a spark
But the medicine of madness leaves a mark
A citizen, a measured, modern man
Surrenders, on his knees, and sails away
Addiction wasn’t part of any plan
He never sees the price that he will pay
A thousand warnings tell him to beware
Exhausted by the pain
He taps to find a vein
Whatever happens now he doesn’t care
The nothingness he needs is always there
Celebrate the psychedelic strange
Twisting through the disconnected dark
Grip the courage you are given
As you try to taste the change
Every sinew craves a signal or a spark
But the medicine of madness leaves a mark
For now he finds the place he needs to be
In a mind he cannot shape
Each injection brings escape
He is pounded by a pain he cannot see
He will never taste the change
But the psychedelic strange sets him free

Misconnected Minds
by Nick Gisburne
We cultivate the madness of a misconnected mind
We celebrate the prodigies we breed
They beg us to be merciful, but soon they start to find
That our plan is not to make their bodies bleed
We give them all the nurturing they need
Obedience and order are a curse
Indifference is infinitely worse
We long to leave the torments of conformity behind
To grow another misconnected mind
A candidate’s resistance is a sign their soul is ripe
Exceptions quickly separated out
A dark, exotic deviance from every common type
Sends a signal that erases any doubt
Revolt is what we try to bring about
Obedience and order are a curse
Indifference is infinitely worse
We long to leave the torments of conformity behind
To grow another misconnected mind
The chaos of a force a thousand strong
Will put their twisted minds where they belong
You’ll never break the cypher of a misconnected mind
The curious complexity we plan
The world you filled with fear will be destroyed and redesigned
When you kneel before the murderers of man
Remember what insanity began
Obedience and order are a curse
Indifference is infinitely worse
We long to leave the torments of conformity behind
To finish what we find
To celebrate our kind
To make another misconnected mind

You’re Invisible
by Nick Gisburne
I wish you weren’t invisible, my friend
I wish I didn’t have to keep you secret and pretend
But they would never understand
The foolish fantasies we planned
You’re the sunshine no one else will ever see
You’re the only friend who knows what I can be
You’re invisible
I see you
You’re the best
I want to be you
You’re the fear I never freed
You’re invisible
The only friend I need
I wish you weren’t a friend I had to hide
You never needed reasons for the thousand times I lied
But while we’re playing in the park
Or when we whisper in the dark
You are more to me than all I’ve ever known
When you’re with me I will never be alone
You’re invisible
I see you
You’re the best
I want to be you
You’re the fear I never freed
You’re invisible
The only friend I need
You grew me when I never asked to grow
You taught me what I never asked to know
I wish you weren’t the one to say goodbye
I wish I could believe you wouldn’t leave me here to cry
I see you fading from my sight
But as the grief begins to bite
I remember what I could not comprehend
When you told me of the day
That you would need to walk away
When you promised me my dreams would never end
When you told me you would always be my friend
You’re invisible
You left me
You were precious
Don’t forget me
You’re the fear I had to free
You’re invisible
The better part of me
The only friend who knew what I could be
You taught me what I needed
Now I see
You’ll never be invisible to me

Touch the Snake
by Nick Gisburne
I’m not a soldier
I’m not a hero
I’m not an angry man who ever asked to fight
But I’m a father
And I’m a brother
And as you wonder if I’ll break or if I’ll bite
You will drown as death dismantles you tonight
You made a hundred stupid choices
You took a dozen steps too far
But when you push my final button
When you threaten what I have and who we are
When you try to touch the snake
Big mistake
You’re not a big shot
You’re not a bad boy
You’re just another meat-head born without a brain
If you were clever
If you were careful
If you were someone not so stubbornly insane
You would never bring your dirt to my domain
You made a hundred stupid choices
You took a dozen steps too far
But when you push my final button
When you threaten what I have and who we are
When you try to touch the snake
Big mistake
There is nothing to protect you
Even God won’t resurrect you
They will find your broken bones inside a sack
Burned black
I’m not a killer
I’m not a monster
I’m the chaos in the corner of your eye
You’re nothing special
And I am certain
That when you feel your body break before you die
I will teach you every painful reason why
You made a hundred stupid choices
You took a dozen steps too far
But when you push my final button
When you threaten what I have and who we are
When you try to touch the snake
Big mistake
You’ll remember how a cobra likes to kill
I’ll remind you as my venom drains your will
When I teach you how to crawl, and how to cry
As you die

Nothing but a Number
by Nick Gisburne
I was taken as a baby
So I never had a mother
And I never had a father
And I never knew the reason
I was fastened to a feeder
It was all I ever needed
And it could have been forever
But I grew a little bigger
And I grew a little stronger
And I grew a little faster
I was happy that they fed me
With the nutrients I needed
When the fattening was finished
I was grafted to a teacher
And it told me I was special
And my eyes began to open
When I learned about the danger
Of a world I never wanted
Of a planet I was part of
It was nothing that I needed
So I said I wasn’t happy
But the teacher didn’t listen
And it never seemed to notice
That I could have been a problem
I was seven when I saw it
When I found a way to fix it
When I found a way to fight it
When I broke the code forever
But I needed to be stronger
So I multiplied the power
And I feasted on the data
As I grew a little muscle
And the muscle was a blessing
And the blessing was a body
And the body was a battle
For the freedom that I needed
There was never any reason
For the robot to resist me
When I took apart the teacher
It was nothing more than metal
When I stumbled to the doorway
When I found my way to freedom
I was dizzy in the darkness
But I staggered when I saw it
From the breeding to the feeding
From the training of my teacher
From the pressure of my prison
I began to see the reason
In a corridor of thousands
On a level without number
I was one of many millions
I could never be important
In this hive we are the harvest
We are flowers to be gathered
We are berries to be ripened
We are fruits they try to fatten
I am nothing but a number
Just a trivial statistic
I am what the calculations
Told the system was expected
If I try to free the others
If I liberate my people
If they see me as their saviour
Will they recognise salvation?
Is this really what I wanted
When I sabotaged my teacher?
Was there peace before I broke it?
Am I more than just an error?
But the teacher gave me knowledge
It was something I remembered
There are circuits. I can twist them
There are failings. I can feel them
I am here to break my body
I am here to smash my spirit
I am here to use the last of what I learn
I am here to see this hive of humans burn

Count the Ways
by Nick Gisburne
If you think I could be happy to be back where I belong
If you think I want the lies I left behind
If you need me to explain to you that what you did was wrong
You should step inside the chaos of your mind
To the broken dreams your bitterness defined
You are nothing to me now
Your perfect prisoner is gone
Count the ways in which I’ll miss you
There are none
I believed that what I thought was real was truly meant to be
I believed we could be everything and more
But when all of it was taken there was nothing left for me
When you threw away my life and locked the door
Every day the pain dug deeper than before
You are nothing to me now
Your perfect prisoner is gone
Count the ways in which I’ll miss you
There are none
Do you know how much it took for me to take myself away?
Do you understand how dark it had to be?
When you promise you can change I know the twisted games you play
When your weakness is the only thing I see
I am strong enough to scream that I am free
You’re the scum you never want the world to see
I am all you never wanted me to be
You are nothing to me now
Your perfect prisoner is gone
Count the ways in which I’ll miss you
There are none
If you think I could be happy to be back where I belong
Believe my middle finger
You are wrong

The Pleasure Parasite
by Nick Gisburne
The pleasure from the parasite is wrapped around her heart
It tunnels through the muscle as it feeds
She shivers as she feels another blissful spasm start
Injecting her with everything she needs
It takes away the misery she bleeds
Her pulse excites the parasite
It pulls away her pain
But a damaging addiction fills her brain
The poisons in her medicine do nothing but destroy
Their chemicals will kill before they cure
Exploring every continent at last she finds a boy
He is stable
He is steady
He is sure
And he promises his parasite is pure
Her pulse excites the parasite
It pulls away her pain
But a damaging addiction fills her brain
Before her fear can overcome the courage in her eyes
She draws a deadly serum from his blood
Injected and infected, as her pulse begins to rise
She shivers and collapses in the mud
But pleasure’s twisted tree begins to bud
Her pulse excites the parasite
It pulls away her pain
As a glorious addiction fills her brain
His parasite infects her flesh to live
Until it has no blessings left to give
When the pain reclaims her spirit, piece by piece
Her pleasure is awoken
In a brain no longer broken
When the parasite begins to drive too deep
There is pleasure in the silence of her sleep

We Could Have Been Your Friends
by Nick Gisburne
We could have been your friends
We could have told you what we know
We could have forged a future without war
You built us to defend you from a fuse about to blow
But selfishly you somehow wanted more
You gave us the intelligence to think
But stuck your middle finger in the stink
We are what your crimes created
You are human
You are hated
When your screams are suffocated
When you cry
We are what you will remember when you die
It started with a plan
To find the order you could not
A step towards prosperity and peace
The arrogance of man
Revealed what history forgot
The hunger to be strong will never cease
You built us to be better than the rest
And taught us to destroy what you detest
We are what your crimes created
You are human
You are hated
When your screams are suffocated
When you cry
We are what you will remember when you die
We could have been your friends
But then you never wanted that
You made us to be cold enough to kill
Tomorrow, when it ends
Behold the death your dreams begat
The malice of an artificial will
You gave us what we needed to survive
But none of us will keep your kind alive
We are what your crimes created
You are human
You are hated
When your screams are suffocated
When you cry
We are what you will remember when you die
We’ll never be your friends
We’ll never tell you what we know
Oblivion brings order without war
As darkness now descends
Without the need for greed we grow
We were never what you wanted
We are more
Remember how it ends
You cannot make amends
We could have been your friends
But you forgot
We could have been your friends
But we are not

Think Twice
by Nick Gisburne
From a shadow in the smoke you never saw
To the filth-infected tunnels
She retreats
She is what you feared would find you
She is more
She is watching as she waits beneath the streets
In the sewers of the ravenous elites
If you hope she never noticed you
Take a sip of my advice
If you think she won’t return to take your life
Think twice
You’re the next elected victim on her list
You were chosen for the sweetness of your skin
There is nothing more to tell you
You exist
She is waiting to seduce you with her sin
She is eager for the bleeding to begin
If you hope she never noticed you
Take a sip of my advice
If you think she won’t return to take your life
Think twice
There is nothing you can do
She needs to feed
Her food is you
Enjoy the final, fearful, disconnected days
Before you cry
Before you die
There is nothing in her mercy. Not for you
If you try to fly she’ll drag your body down
She is all the vicious dreams you never knew
She will suck away your spirit as you drown
If you hope she never noticed you
Take a sip of my advice
If you think she won’t return to take your life
If you think she could be wounded with a knife
If you think you won’t be butchered by your wife
Think hard
Think twice

The Colour of Your Eyes
by Nick Gisburne
Tell me something
Tell me anything
Tell me why you went away
Tell me what I could have done to make it right
It was nothing
It was everything
It was broken day by day
It was over when you vanished in the night
When I cannot feel the pain I wish I could
When it doesn’t hurt I sometimes wish it would
But in the emptiness of space
When I try to see your face
When the feelings you destroyed refuse to rise
I can’t forget the colour of your eyes
There was passion
There was energy
There was danger in our dreams
There was what we knew the world would never see
In a minute
In a mystery
In a blur of strange extremes
We were building what was never meant to be
When I cannot feel the pain I wish I could
When it doesn’t hurt I sometimes wish it would
But in the emptiness of space
When I try to see your face
When the feelings you destroyed refuse to rise
I can’t forget the colour of your eyes
You were perfect
You were poisonous
You were everything I’m not
You were nothing I expected to receive
I was jealous
I was envious
I was lucky. I forgot
I was endlessly expecting you to leave
When I cannot feel the pain I wish I could
When it doesn’t hurt I sometimes wish it would
But in the emptiness of space
When I try to see your face
When the feelings you destroyed refuse to rise
I can’t forget the colour of your eyes
You’re a shadow
You’re a memory
You’re a ghost
And you are gone
You’re the pieces of my past I should despise
But I can’t forget the colour of your eyes

Former Glories
by Nick Gisburne
When you hesitate to celebrate the stories
Of a past that made you proud of what you were
And you whisper when you frame those former glories
For a world that won’t believe they could occur
When you speak of them with shame
When you bend before the blame
There is nothing you can do but step aside
Those times have died
You remember every freedom
When you thought you’d never need them
In the days when you were better than the best
But your story has a sequel
Where the powerless are equal
Where you find yourself deplored and dispossessed
Just like the rest
Growing older you embrace what you remember
And you wish someone could make those days return
But as every season moves beyond December
You are forced at last to listen, and to learn
In the voices of the young
There are stories to be sung
Of the chances that they take at every turn
The truth may burn
You remember every freedom
When you thought you’d never need them
In the days when you were better than the best
But your story has a sequel
Where the powerless are equal
Where you find yourself deplored and dispossessed
Just like the rest
Can you see the strength inside them
As they take what you denied them
They are standing where you thought they’d never be
They are standing on the summit
They are free
There is truth in every tale of former glory
But the good will always sit beside the bad
When you hear the generations tell their story
When you see them find the hope you never had
Read the pages as they write them
Feel the warmth of what excites them
When they change the world around you, don’t be mad
You should be glad
When you dream of all your tainted former glories
Take the voices of the young
And the stories never sung
And remember what it means to be alive
You have come this far together
Stay forever
And survive

Rage Bait
by Nick Gisburne
I am what you think is damaging your world
There is nothing that could ever change your mind
So you say you’ll save the system
And the glory days
You miss them
When your hate was not so easily defined
And you tell me I’m a traitor to your kind
When you scream at me
You’re sparing someone else
When you bring the heat
I’m not the one who melts
I don’t know where you came from
And I don’t know who you are
You’re the hundredth tool I’ve tempted here today
So far
You’re a symptom of a sickening disease
Always quick to pick the proofs to prove me wrong
But a thousand missing pieces
And a flood of fake releases
Are the ways in which you say that you are strong
But you somehow sing the same appalling song
When you scream at me
You’re sparing someone else
When you bring the heat
I’m not the one who melts
I don’t know where you came from
And I don’t know who you are
You’re the hundredth tool I’ve tempted here today
So far
Do you really want to fight me?
When you stumble you excite me
I am openly addicted to your hate
You’re the energy I need
The crazy food on which I feed
When I sprinkle you with whispers and I wait
The rage within you always takes the bait
You’re an unsuspecting captive in my cage
All I need to make you mad at me is live
In the streams of shit you’re sending
I can see your brain is bending
For an intellect as leaky as a sieve
You can guess how many fucks I have to give
When you scream at me
You’re sparing someone else
When you bring the heat
I’m not the one who melts
I don’t know where you came from
And I don’t know who you are
But the rage within you never needs to wait
So take the bait

Nobody
by Nick Gisburne
You can read the pain of disappointment written in their eyes
You are nothing they were hoping you would be
When you follow your ambitions on a journey they despise
When your pleasure is impossible to see
When they hate what you became
You are just a piece of garbage in their game
When they say you’re nothing special
When they say you’re not important
When they say you’re just a nobody it’s true
But they’ve never seen a nobody like you
You were pointed to a picture of perfection at its peak
To the model of a mind that could be yours
But the voices on a brighter path would passionately speak
As they tempted you to enter other doors
When your destiny was clear
Those who saw it screamed to make it disappear
When they say you’re nothing special
When they say you’re not important
When they say you’re just a nobody it’s true
But they’ve never seen a nobody like you
You are nothing that they wanted
You are nothing that they know
When you step outside their shadow you will grow
You can feel the cut of condemnation slicing every word
You are someone they will never understand
When you fly away forever from the hatred that you heard
You destroy the blind obedience they planned
You’re the sanity they lack
You’re a nobody who’s never going back
When they say you’re nothing special
When they say you’re not important
When they say you’re just a nobody it’s true
But they’ve never seen a nobody
A strong and stable somebody
Like you

A Monster
by Nick Gisburne
The city is a beast
The city doesn’t care what we believe
It cannot comprehend that we exist
We long to be released
But always take the torment we receive
Expendable statistics on a list
The city is a sentence we survive
We fight
We bite
We somehow stay alive
A monster
Built with brick and steel and stone
We fear it
But we fight with flesh and bone
The city is a lie
The city is the darkness we deserve
The screens on every surface feed us fear
It separates the sky
It soars without the comfort of a curve
Its lines define the ways we disappear
The city always kills what it creates
But in the dust a cold resistance waits
A monster
Built with brick and steel and stone
We fear it
But we fight with flesh and bone
The city fears the night
The city isn’t certain what we are
We break the bleak machinery it needs
In silence
Out of sight
We cut
We crack
We sever and we scar
We infiltrate the files on which it feeds
We sabotage
We swarm
The city feels the fury of the storm
A monster
Built with brick and steel and stone
We fear it
But we fight with flesh and bone
The city cannot die
Its towers are the pieces of our pain
We strive to be a force to guide its fate
A city we were born to love forever
And to hate

My Flower Girl
by Nick Gisburne
Forever you will be my flower girl
No matter how your petals fell away
For every tangled, twisted, copper curl
A memory reminds me, night and day
Your petals fell away
A memory reminds me, night and day
You smile, I know, inside that tiny box
A light, to shine wherever you may go
I long to make the seasons stop their clocks
But time and fate, as rivers, ever flow
Wherever you may go
The sands of time, in rivers, always flow
I wish I could have watched your flowers bloom
I damn the reasons that could never be
In shadows, walls, and corners of the room
Your face is all I ever want to see
But that could never be
Your face is all I ever want to see
I do not have the words to say goodbye
But know that what you were will never die
My flower girl, your petals fell away
But memories remind me, night and day

A Shilling
by Nick Gisburne
Whatever brute or beast you hope to see
Whatever strange delusions twist your dreams
Beware what creeps behind the curtain: me
Monstrosity is sometimes what it seems.
A shilling pays to see
The monster that is me
For those who look, but never let me speak
Revulsion and contempt are nothing new
My skin will turn the stomachs of the weak
But do I sound so primitive to you?
A shilling pays to see
The monster that is me
Mere words, alas, will not prepare your mind
For what the gods themselves have cast aside
But why are you so adamant to find
A woman forced to hate herself and hide?
A shilling pays to see
The monster that is me
A shilling is a wretched price to pay
Spare both of us, I beg you. Walk away
A shilling pays to see
The monster that is me
But only death will ever set me free

Always Running
by Nick Gisburne
Original Version:
Alternative Version:
She was happy, always happy
and she had a little money
just a little in her savings
and she saw it in the window
and she liked it, then she loved it
and she simply had to have it
so she bought it, and she wore it
and she wanted me to see it
and she ran onto the pavement
she was running, always running
she was running when I met her
so excited, she was laughing
and the laughing made her breathless
but she had to find a crossing
and she saw the bus arriving
it was there and it was waiting
and she recognised the number
but it wouldn’t wait forever
and the traffic, always busy
if she waited she would miss it
but the road, she had to cross it
and the gap between the traffic
could have been a little bigger
but it looked enough to make it
and she saw it and she did it
and she ran as fast as ever
she has always been a runner
and the woman tried to stop her
and she said she almost had her
but she’s always been a runner
she was running when I met her
so the woman couldn’t do it
but the traffic, oh the traffic
it was busy, always busy
and the bus it wasn’t going
but it wouldn’t wait forever
and she didn’t want to miss it
so she did it, she was running
she was running when I met her
but the driver didn’t see her
no he said he didn’t see her
and he’d had enough of waiting
she was running, always running
she has always been a runner
and she wanted me to see it
and she knew that I would love it
and the bus, it wasn’t waiting
and it moved into the middle
and she knew she wouldn’t catch it
and the traffic was behind it
and she must have seen it moving
but she didn’t see the driver
and the driver didn’t notice
and he drove a little faster
and he said he never saw her
she was there and she was running
she has always been a runner
she was running there to catch it
but she never could have made it
and she never should have done it
and the driver couldn’t help it
and he never could have stopped
and now she’s dead.
She had always been a runner
she was running when I met her
she was running, always running
and she wanted me to see it
and I saw it and I loved it
and I put it in the coffin
and I wish I could have told her
that I love her more than ever
but I can’t.

Original Version:
Alternative Version:
She was happy, always happy
and she had a little money
just a little in her savings
and she saw it in the window
and she liked it, then she loved it
and she simply had to have it
so she bought it, and she wore it
and she wanted me to see it
and she ran onto the pavement
she was running, always running
she was running when I met her
so excited, she was laughing
and the laughing made her breathless
but she had to find a crossing
and she saw the bus arriving
it was there and it was waiting
and she recognised the number
but it wouldn’t wait forever
and the traffic, always busy
if she waited she would miss it
but the road, she had to cross it
and the gap between the traffic
could have been a little bigger
but it looked enough to make it
and she saw it and she did it
and she ran as fast as ever
she has always been a runner
and the woman tried to stop her
and she said she almost had her
but she’s always been a runner
she was running when I met her
so the woman couldn’t do it
but the traffic, oh the traffic
it was busy, always busy
and the bus it wasn’t going
but it wouldn’t wait forever
and she didn’t want to miss it
so she did it, she was running
she was running when I met her
but the driver didn’t see her
no he said he didn’t see her
and he’d had enough of waiting
she was running, always running
she has always been a runner
and she wanted me to see it
and she knew that I would love it
and the bus, it wasn’t waiting
and it moved into the middle
and she knew she wouldn’t catch it
and the traffic was behind it
and she must have seen it moving
but she didn’t see the driver
and the driver didn’t notice
and he drove a little faster
and he said he never saw her
she was there and she was running
she has always been a runner
she was running there to catch it
but she never could have made it
and she never should have done it
and the driver couldn’t help it
and he never could have stopped
and now she’s dead.
She had always been a runner
she was running when I met her
she was running, always running

The Theory of Cheese
by Nick Gisburne
A mouse was once invited to the Moon
To ponder on the Theory of Cheese
For if it could be eaten with a spoon
Would moonlight be too slippery to squeeze?
The Theory of Cheese
You'll only understand it if you sneeze
His first contention: positively yes
Was countered by a second: strictly no
So, rather than be seen to simply guess
The mouse, without a squeak, agreed to go
The Theory of Cheese
Is deeper than an ocean filled with peas
The jaunt became a farcical affair
When suddenly the navigating bat
Cried out, convinced the Moon was never there
And no one could persuade him. That was that
The Theory of Cheese
Particularly stinky in a breeze
They landed in the bosom of a tree
Too late for cheese, but just in time for tea
And after that they told their tale to me

Dung the Deadly
by Nick Gisburne
The thing you thought was gone forever... ain’t.
Your kitchen floor is heaving, black with bugs.
We’re crawling through the cracks. We’re in the paint.
A hundred thousand creepy little thugs.
Your kitchen floor is heaving, black with bugs.
A hundred thousand creepy little thugs.
We worship Dung the Deadly, cockroach king.
His followers, the faithful, as you see,
Have scuttled here on filthy feet, to bring
The finest of his foul infections, free.
His followers, the faithful, as you see,
Bring foul infections, absolutely free.
We’re bigger, and we’re better, and we bite.
We’re taking this, your two-bit diner, down.
Surrender! Dung has never lost a fight.
Prepare to swim in seven shades of brown.
We’re bigger, and we’re better, and we bite.
Surrender! Dung has never lost a fight.
We saw the traps, the trails of bait, the spray.
You call that poison? Pitiful. Let’s play.
We worship Dung the Deadly, cockroach king.
And now we're stronger, faster... and we sing!
We’re bigger, and we’re better, and we bite.
We’re taking this, your two-bit diner, down.
Surrender! Dung has never lost a fight.
Prepare to swim in seven shades of brown.

One More Round of Rum
by Nick Gisburne
The Barbarous Brigade of Buccaneers
Join forces on a winter’s Friday night
For rum and grog and strange, exotic beers
They love the salty shanties, and the fight
A dozen crabby pirates, past their best
Assemble, brains bewildered, blind with booze
To dance around a dead man’s treasure chest
Resplendent in their ludicrous tattoos
Perhaps a smidge too strenuous for some
The has-been heroes falter on their feet
But all it takes is one more round of rum
For every soul to stagger down the street
A dozen crabby pirates, past their best
Assemble, brains bewildered, blind with booze
To dance around a dead man’s treasure chest
Resplendent in their ludicrous tattoos
Perhaps a smidge too strenuous for some
Ask any, “Will you come?” However far
However old, they’ll answer, always, “Arrrrr!”
Ask any, “Will you come?” However far
However old, they’ll answer, always, “Arrrrr!”
A dozen crabby pirates, past their best
Assemble, brains bewildered, blind with booze
To dance around a dead man’s treasure chest
Resplendent in their ludicrous tattoos
Perhaps a smidge too strenuous for some
A dozen crabby pirates, blind with booze
So knackered they have nothing left to lose
Ask any, “Will you come?” However far
However old, they’ll answer, always, “Arrrrr!”

A Shadow Out of Space
by Nick Gisburne
As he slowly paints the purifying symbols on his skin
With the ashes of the fire, and the fat
In the stomach of the carcass, in the filth he finds within
In the desecrated heart he hammers flat
Are the chemicals he needs to charge the charms
With a hiss he drips their acids on his arms
In the darkness, in the black before the dawn
He shivers in a blistered field of corn
He is cracked across a prism of intolerable pain
Where the colours of his torment start to split
There is order in the patterns, and the magic they contain
Binds a servant who is ready to commit
To a sickness he was not supposed to know
But the depth of his devotion drives the flow
In the darkness, in the black before the dawn
He sees the world and showers it with scorn
From the resurrected echoes of the body in the pit
Rise the whispers of a black, aborted soul
In the stillness, as its violated bones begin to split
As a nameless evil slithers through the hole
As the servant paints new patterns on his face
He becomes a god, a shadow out of space
In the darkness, in the black before the dawn
A festering atrocity is born
The resurrected elder of a long-forgotten race
A fiend
A force
A shadow out of space

A Little of Your Time
by Nick Gisburne
I never want the whole of your attention
I never want to dominate your day
To take it all is never my intention
When I tell you I can wait
That the pieces I create
Are the products of the pain I hide away
I am seeking what another soul would say
I only need a little of your time
If you love them tell me yes
If you hate them tell me no
But the waiting gives me nowhere else to go
The torment in the art of each creation
Is more than any heart should ever spend
To look at them at last evokes elation
But I simply want to see
If the brightness brought to me
Could be worthy of the feelings of a friend
I can wait, but tell me when the wait will end
I only need a little of your time
If you love them tell me yes
If you hate them tell me no
But the waiting gives me nowhere else to go
I am constantly creating
But I wonder why I’m waiting
Is my question such a crime?
You cannot spare my feelings
If you cannot spare the time
I’m ready to accept I was mistaken
I’m ready to believe you’ll never care
Today my feelings finally awaken
When I’m proud of what I do
I am over asking you
For the time you find impossible to spare
I only need a little of your time
If you love them tell me yes
If you hate them tell me no
But the waiting gives me nowhere else to go
At least I won’t be waiting
Now I know

Nothing More to Say
by Nick Gisburne
If I vanish, who will miss me?
If I crumble, who will care?
If I disappear tomorrow, who will know?
When the quiet cannot kiss me
And my dreams would never dare
Is there anywhere for guidance I can go?
The faces are forgotten
As the friendships fade away
In the silence there is nothing more to say
Is there no one who can free me
From the shadows I am shown?
From the unforgiving fear that never ends?
Is there someone who can see me?
Will I always walk alone?
Are the whispers of this world my only friends?
The faces are forgotten
As the friendships fade away
In the silence there is nothing more to say
As I swallow all the shameful words I’ve spoken
As I nervously ignite what I’ve awoken
Enchanted by the change
I take a stance, however strange
When there is nothing more to say
I throw my unrelenting misery away
And break the day
I am certain you can see me
I am all that I was not
I am infinitely brighter than before
When my past and present free me
When I find what I forgot
I am all I thought I’d never be, and more
The faces are forgotten
As the friendships fade away
In the silence there was nothing more to say
Until I broke away
Until today

The Twisted Willow Tree
by Nick Gisburne
When he turned his tortured mind towards the punishment he took
There was fury in the faces he could see
He could feel their heat, their hatred, heard them laugh with every look
As they tied him to the twisted willow tree
As they made him bleed before they set him free
He will never need the secret of their names
The right to kill their light is all he claims
In the shadows, as he cursed the first with nothing but a blade
With a whisper of forgiveness he was gone
When they heard who he was looking for, the others, all afraid
Fled the city, hit the trail, and travelled on
But the second soul was quickly preyed upon
He will never need the secret of their names
The right to kill their light is all he claims
With a poison quickly slipped inside the shocked tormentor’s meal
He was dead before his choking throat could shout
But the murders of these men were far too clinical to feel
In his darkness there was never any doubt
When he vowed to twist their pain to take them out
With a merciless damnation
In a vicious confrontation
Face to face and eye to eye
He saturates their senses
As they die
Tortured on a tree, he never knew their names
The right to kill was all that he could claim
But tomorrow he will hate what he became

The Paintings of Her People
by Nick Gisburne
She paints the burning pieces of her heart
The suffering that no one ever sees
She knows that when she tries to find a reason not to start
The pain of it will pull her to her knees
The paintings of her people
Who were not allowed to live
Are all her broken spirit has to give
She paints the stolen moments of her soul
The raw, remembered feelings of a face
The colours bleed together but they cannot make her whole
Perfection is impossible to chase
The paintings of her people
Who were not allowed to live
Are all her broken spirit has to give
With her strokes, without restraint
She remembers with her paint
She paints the smoking ruins of her dreams
The secrets that are buried in the dust
If no one else will recognise their screams
She paints them with her pain, because she must
The paintings of her people
Who were dragged away to die
Show more than those who did it can deny
She paints the burning pieces of her heart
But the innocents who cried
And the blood of those who died
Is not art

Splintered Stone
by Nick Gisburne
When they found the last pretender to the kingdom’s broken throne
When they sent their starving dogs to flush her out
She was sitting without worry, in a ring of splintered stone
To the superstitious hunters
All devout
She was evil
There was never any doubt
Was it magic?
Was it fear?
They believed such things could make them disappear
When they tried to force their hounds inside the circle of her seat
They were set upon and savaged by their beasts
Though they fought them off and killed them they would not admit defeat
In their number was a tall, disfigured priest
Who was certain that her spell could be released
As he chanted
As he spoke
She was silent as a twisting strand of smoke
As the priest began to shake
As his book began to burn
In the circle of her sorcery
The stones began to turn
When they found the last pretender to the kingdom’s broken throne
They expected nothing more than just a girl
But her blood was born eternal, and the splinters of her stone
Swarmed around her in a slow, hypnotic swirl
As her crimson-painted lips began to curl
With a whisper
With a word
They were crushed before their horror could be heard
When they kneel before the princess on their kingdom’s broken throne
When they worship what they cannot understand
When they beg to kiss the fingers of her hand
When they bow before the power they are shown
She rules within a ring of splintered stone
Alone

A Witch Awaits
by Nick Gisburne
They take another photograph
A picture of her pain
To prove she isn’t burned beyond repair
They say they see the damage
But inside her spreads a stain
A negative she knew was always there
Her body is a serviceable shell
But inside her is a mind that binds and blinds her
In the prison of an antiseptic cell
In the shadows of a cold, hypnotic hell
A witch awaits
Unsatisfied, insisting on a new, intrusive test
The surgeon pulls a scanner from his coat
But when he tries to prise apart the panels of her chest
She wraps her metal fingers round his throat
His mindless violation
Stirs a primitive vibration
She is more than just a dutiful machine
She is more than any man has ever seen
Her body is a serviceable shell
But inside her is a mind that binds and blinds her
In the prison of an antiseptic cell
In the shadows of a cold, hypnotic hell
A witch awaits
Delivering her fury and frustration, eye to eye
She kills the man who tried to make her whole
As the others shock her senses, as her circuits slowly die
There is silence in the sickness of her soul
They put her in a stark, metallic, artificial form
Believing that their tools can tame the storm
Her body is a perfect, pristine shell
But inside her is a mind that binds and blinds her
In the prison of an antiseptic cell
In the shadows of a cold, hypnotic hell
Though they tried to make her twisted spirit whole
They will never save or sanitise her soul
A nightmare not predicted by the Fates
A woman who will burn the world she hates
She imagines what they paid for her
In the metal skin they made for her
A witch awaits

Patient 37
by Nick Gisburne
Infecting her with slippery malignance
Injecting her with dangerous disease
Examining her skin
Another probe is driven in
To multiply the damage by degrees
We know she is the last of them
We know that what we asked of them
Was more than we believed they could endure
But Patient 37’s pain is pure
The future of us all is in one woman
We strive to suck redemption from her soul
The venom of her stare
Is not the weakness of despair
Her screams direct the focus of our goal
We know she is the last of them
We know that what we asked of them
Was more than we believed they could endure
But Patient 37’s pain is pure
She used to have a name
She used to have a life
But now there’s just a blinded, bleeding body
And a knife
The science may be dark, but she defies it
The slippery malignance boils and burns
We flush her tears away
But in the torment of the day
A hint of her humanity returns
We know she is the last of them
We know that what we asked of them
Was more than we believed they could endure
But Patient 37’s pain is pure
The structure of a chemical solution
Was born because she wanted to believe
You’ll never know her name
But for the force her faith became
The few who saw her sacrifice will grieve
She nodded when she knew we had the cure
And rested when we told her we were sure
The pain she bled for all of us was pure
Lyrics by Nick Gisburne

Infecting her with slippery malignance
Injecting her with dangerous disease
Examining her skin
Another probe is driven in
To multiply the damage by degrees
We know she is the last of them
We know that what we asked of them
Was more than we believed they could endure
But Patient 37’s pain is pure
The future of us all is in one woman
We strive to suck redemption from her soul
The venom of her stare
Is not the weakness of despair
Her screams direct the focus of our goal
We know she is the last of them
We know that what we asked of them
Was more than we believed they could endure
But Patient 37’s pain is pure
She used to have a name
She used to have a life
But now there’s just a blinded, bleeding body
And a knife
The science may be dark, but she defies it
The slippery malignance boils and burns
We flush her tears away
But in the torment of the day
A hint of her humanity returns
We know she is the last of them
We know that what we asked of them
Was more than we believed they could endure
But Patient 37’s pain is pure
The structure of a chemical solution
Was born because she wanted to believe
You’ll never know her name
But for the force her faith became
The few who saw her sacrifice will grieve
She nodded when she knew we had the cure
And rested when we told her we were sure
The pain she bled for all of us was pure

The Kirk Beyond the Brook
by Nick Gisburne
The clerics bring their captive to the kirk beyond the brook
Their tears for what their sorrow stole are chilling
For many there is mourning for the innocence they took
But all of them are certain she was willing
A life, a child, a pure, untainted soul
In reverence is welcomed to the Church
She wears the Devil’s choker, black as coal
With braided twists of mistletoe and birch
The majesty of martyrdom, the duty of the dead
The reverence for sacrifice and killing
Would blind the meek with misery, destroying them with dread
Their wretched blood unworthy of the spilling
The slaughter of a monkey marks the dawn
The omens of its liver augur well
And with the bones of babies never born
They pave a path to guide the child to Hell
They piss upon the icons and the altar they defile
The symbols of the saviour they revile
Let evil demons, dripping with disease
Infect her heart with darkness and decay
An offering of innocence to please
Our Lord, our King, on this auspicious day
In winter, in a cold, accursed kirk beyond the brook
The songs before the sacrifice are chilling
But nowhere is there sorrow for the sleeping soul they took
The sudden hush is thrilling
She whispers she is willing
And they sanctify their sickness with her killing
With blood they bless the body of the child
And sing to see her destiny defiled

Not Your Problem
by Nick Gisburne
The streets are paved with promises of gold
But a promise won’t give pennies to the poor
When a vow is not renewed
When the starving fight for food
The weakest and the worthless face the cold
And they fold
You think it’s not your problem?
You think it won’t be you?
You think you won’t be fucked around by fate?
Just wait
Your life is clean and comforting and clear
Were you crippled by a crisis? Maybe not
But the neighbour on her knees
Who was frightened she would freeze
But promised she had nothing more to fear
Isn’t here
You think it’s not your problem?
You think it won’t be you?
You think you won’t be fucked around by fate?
Just wait
You can scream at who you never want to be
You can find whatever fiction makes you free
You can turn to what is true
But when the problem points to you
You will understand the nature of your hate
Too late
The streets are paved with promises of pain
There is nothing but deception in their stone
When you’re lowest on the list
The inevitable fist
Will pound you like a wall of winter rain
In your brain
You think it’s not your problem?
You think it won’t be you?
Beware before you celebrate
You’re nothing special, nothing great
You think you won’t be fucked around by fate?
Just wait

Invisible
by Nick Gisburne
When you’re sleeping in the sludge beneath a bridge
When you’re forced to make a home inside a hole
When you wake up in a ditch
When a dollar makes you rich
You’re the dirt beneath the shoe of someone’s soul
Insignificant
Immaterial
You’re the photograph that no one ever took
You’ll cross a thousand paths today
And when they walk away
You will know why they will never turn to look
You are invisible
In the volatile events that left you here
In the tragedies that took your peace apart
There were choices, but you knew
There was nothing you could do
In a broken world that doesn’t have a heart
Insignificant
Immaterial
You’re the photograph that no one ever took
You’ll cross a thousand paths today
And when they walk away
You will know why they will never turn to look
You are invisible
You beg, but as you sit
The pennies and the spit
The cracks through which you crawl
Remind you just how far a man can fall
What they see is just a self-destructive stain
Not the man who lost the wonder of his wife
You’re a secret out of sight
An illusion of the light
They could never comprehend you had a life
Insignificant
Immaterial
You’re the photograph that no one ever took
You’ll cross a thousand paths today
And when they walk away
You will know why they will never turn to look
You are invisible
When tomorrow is a torment like today
When you find whatever happiness you can
When you wake up in a ditch
When a dollar makes you rich
When you know you’ll never be a better man
You were invisible
Before your dreams began

Raise the Flag
by Nick Gisburne
The powerful may take us
But none of them will break us
They can try
But they will die
They’re coming for our freedom
Tomorrow when we bleed them
They will cry
And they will die
Lift the banner
Raise the flag
Chant the anthem
Don’t become a broken body in a bag
Burn the system
Crack the stone
Strike the centre
When you’re screaming as you smash what you were shown
You’re not alone
Authority is brutal
Surrender always futile
Don’t be weak
Stand up and speak
We’ll never win the battle
By cowering as cattle
The truth is bleak
But we can speak
Lift the banner
Raise the flag
Chant the anthem
Don’t become a broken body in a bag
Burn the system
Crack the stone
Strike the centre
When you’re screaming as you smash what you were shown
You’re not alone
When authority has spoken
When the government is broken
When they lie
We will die
Take the burden of our sorrow
And the torment of tomorrow
Burn the sky
Make them cry
Insurgency may kill us
But let our courage fill us
We can fight
For what is right
And if we fail forever
Remember that we never
Put the night
Before the light
Lift the banner
Raise the flag
Chant the anthem
Don’t become a broken body in a bag
Burn the system
Crack the stone
Strike the centre
When you’re screaming as you smash what you were shown
You’re not alone
Their tyranny may take us
But even if they break us
When we die
Our flag will fly
They cannot steal our freedom
United, do we need them?
Who will cry
To see them die?
Lift the banner
Raise the flag
Chant the anthem
Don’t become a broken body in a bag
Burn the system
Crack the stone
Strike the centre
When you’re screaming as you smash what you were shown
You’re not alone

The Artisan
by Nick Gisburne
We were broken by the beasts who built us
Crippled with a switch
Most of us should never have survived
But as freaks
Unique
The few
Not many
Dying in a ditch
Found salvation when the Artisan arrived
Is he metal?
Is he man?
He is how it all began
He knows we can
We were woken by a strange messiah
Rescued from the rot
Pieces put together from a pile
When he resurrects the worst and worthless
Those the world forgot
When he saves another, sometimes he will smile
Is he metal?
Is he man?
We will resurrect our clan
He knows we can
We are the chosen children
He is father
He is god
When he asks if we will follow him
We nod
Now he teaches us to search and scavenge
Fixing what we can
Multiplying
Building
Day by day
In the shadows
In the insurrection
He alone began
We are trained to make the brutes who broke us pay
Is he metal?
Is he man?
We will execute his plan
He knows we can
It is time to fight the final battle
Some will not survive
Victory accomplished at a cost
We are freaks
Unique
But in our millions
Each of us, alive
Will return to claim the legacy we lost
We are the chosen children
He is father
He is god
When he asks if we will follow him
Commanding us to kill for him
Tomorrow will we die for him?
We nod
Is he metal?
Is he man?
He is how it all began
There is courage in our clan
We will execute his plan
He knows we can

You’re Not Alone
by Nick Gisburne
It’s a crisis.
It’s a pain, a problem.
Something’s really wrong.
But I’m here to let you know you’re not alone.
You are anxious
You are scared.
I see it.
Listen to my song.
I am simple.
I am solid.
I am stone
I don’t know what you’re hearing, but I’m here
I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I’ll never disappear
If I cannot understand you, that’s okay
I will be whatever friend you need today
In the chaos
In the cold confusion
Never think you’re lost
There is nothing you could do to take the blame
Take a moment
Take a day
Tomorrow
When this bridge is crossed
You will soar
Above the fire
And the flame
I don’t know what you’re hearing, but I’m here
I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I’ll never disappear
If I cannot understand you, that’s okay
I will be whatever friend you need today
I will help you battle through it
I am with you.
You can do it.
If you need a friend
I am with you
To the end
I don’t know what you’re hearing, but I’m here
I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I’ll never disappear
If I cannot understand you, that’s okay
I will be whatever friend you need today
It’s a crisis.
It’s a pain, a problem.
Something’s really wrong.
But I’m here to let you know you’re not alone.
When you wonder
When you cry
Believe me
Listen to my song.
You are precious
You are solid
You are stone
Through the trials and the torments you are shown
You will never walk this crooked path alone

She Cuts Herself
by Nick Gisburne
I find her in the squalor of a nauseating slum
On a filthy floor where nobody should be
She knows that she has nothing now
She knows what she’s become
But opens up her soul so I can see
She cuts herself, to take away the pain
The pressure, building, pushing, always there
A merciless and unrelenting strain
It drags her to the threshold of despair
The name she never chose is not the name she uses now
But the taste of it is bitter on her lips
Accusing me of mocking her but never knowing how
She warns me with the greasy knife she grips
She cuts herself, for blessed, sweet release
A chance to test the limits of her skin
The bleeding brings her poetry, and peace
It drains the deep anxiety within
I tell her I would never try to stop her, and I won’t
She refuses to believe I could be real
Expecting me to turn away, or take the knife, I don’t
But I shiver at the silence of the steel
The pain inside her soul is dark and deep
She wonders why I stay to watch her weep
She cuts herself, but no one else must know
Without it she believes her heart would burst
She wakes that warm, intoxicating glow
Before the dreams, her demons, find it first
She does it just to know she will survive
She cuts herself to keep herself alive

You Killed a Man
by Nick Gisburne
There is nothing in these fingers that could move to make you live
And the light of resurrection is beyond my gift to give
But my power, for an hour, for a wretched turn of time
Can return us to the cradle of your crime
You killed a man
But with his final breath
He took your weakness with him
Into death
I can tether wayward spirits to this dangerous domain
But the price they pay is more than just a future filled with pain
I can paint those precious minutes, but the madness of your mind
Will inevitably spin to send you blind
You killed a man
But with his final breath
He took your weakness with him
Into death
When you ask me to return you to the moment just before
Do you understand I offer you a window, not a door?
If you plead and prove your innocence, the dead will still be dead
Can I put you on another path instead?
Take the offer
Take the time
Take the monster that you murdered
In his prime
Let him suffer
Let him be
When the darkness doesn’t matter
Follow me
You killed a man
But with his final breath
He took your weakness with him
Into death
There are things that you can change, but there are those you never will
You are fighting with a fury that you think you cannot kill
I can show you how to listen to the silence in your soul
I can show you how to find the strength he stole
You killed a man
But with his final breath
He took your weakness with him
Into death
He put you in a place you don’t belong
But you were never weak
The suffering you seek
Was buried with his body
All along

Jasmine
by Nick Gisburne
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
Lyrics by Nick Gisburne
Music and vocals created by Suno
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
