Hopeful Storm

Keep your head
high
In this storm
of high hopes
Search now for a place
Somewhere out in space
you can save some face
if you hide your face
You’re Tongue
tied
and fully
fired up
It’ll catch you unawares
Push you down the stairs
Pull out all your hairs
Answer all your prayers
But the rain drops keep falling down
And the rain drops keep falling down

Head back the other way
there’s not much time left for
her to make it back to you now
There’s not much time today
She’s already left this world
In another dimension
you might meet her again
but she’ll just look the other way
Don’t look back that way
You’ll never see the way she
walks through the fire
I won’t set the fireflies alight
She’ll keep them all burning bright
She’s taking flight
She’s making galaxies appear
as if from nothing but thought
She’s creating such wondrous colours
Still you struggle on
Trying desperately to find
a light to cling to
She’s miles ahead
You’re miles behind
Careful what you wish for
you might find it in her eyes
Head back the other way
There’s not much time left she’s
flown into the sun, You’re going to have to run
There’s too much pressure
She’s already left this world
She’s miles ahead
You’re miles behind
Careful what you wish for
you might find it in her eyes
Don’t look back that way
You’ll never see the way she
walks through the fire

You won’t make a sound
when you make your run for the sun
you’ll leave without a trace
Burning up, then all that was here is gone
You never wanted anyone
to say that you were beautiful to say that you were fine
You’ll kill without warning
Flaring out, then all that was here is gone
You won’t make a sound
While you’re packing for your trip to the sun
You’ll leave without saying goodbye
Goodbye, then all that was here is gone

Chasing You
07:47

Sat upon the green green grass,
no book to read today
to beckon me to play
somewhere far away
no thoughts of fairy tales
and many other things
but my heart still sings
this broken heart still rings
waiting by the letter box
no news from you today
letters from far away
you said you’d send my way
I hope you’re happy living
in another world
Promises unfurled
You
got away this time
you
I thought you were mine
you
got away but I’m still chasing you
I don’t mind
Take off your hat and sail
away on your rocket ship
I was just a blip
along your epic trip
I hope you’re happy running
as fast as you can
I know that I am

Mourning of Innocence

Making time
to ponder this existence
It’s never good to be alone when your
thoughts are tumbling over and over
Tied to the face you can
never wash the dye out of this dream
but you can know when it’s done
But she’s calling out to you
in a world of red and grey
Finding you’re not alone, you’re not alone
it won’t make much difference anyway
You’re caught in time
caught in blue
Struggle through, misunderstood
Caught in breath
Caught in you
Trying hard
to find meaning in this existence
It’s never good to be so
alone
Tried to erase it all
Memories are tied up in this lie
Swell till they burst at the seams

Breathe

Trying hard to find a new way
but you’re standing in quicksand
trying so hard just to get by
but you say that
it’s all my fault
You’re stuck in your way
try standing tall for once now that you’re on your own
you’ll see
that it gets easier
Making your way
navigating this minefield
of circumstance beyond your control
when you set one off
it’s all my fault
You’re stuck in your way
try standing tall for once now that you’re on your own
you’ll see
that it gets easier
to breathe
and to see a new day
Just breathe
And dance it your way
So take what I give
I don’t offer it lightly
You know you can’t do it all on your own
you see that
It’s not just my fault

Late at night I was stranded on an island
where all the trees were laughing at me
sitting on the beach I saw a spotlight
Your ship was passing me
As I waved in the hopes that you would see me
You just waved back then turned your back
So I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming
I wasn’t
So I lie to your face like I’m an actor
The world my stage and audience
I’ll dress up to the nines and say it’s okay
I always end this way
When I finally tell the truth about these feelings
You’ll sigh and turn and shake your head
there’s nothing I can to to surprise you
Not now
In the day I was dreaming of an eggshell
I was walking slowly grinding it down
Talking to myself like a freakshow
I was only 3 feet tall
When we met I was told you were a lio
waiting for me to make a move
They were wrong coz in my head I was a fresh kill
You ignored me
As I snuck past your room in the hallway
I could tell you were angry at me
as I pondered this thought on the stairway
I knew I should give you a call
I had to find a way to stop a bad news day
So I left all my thoughts on your answer machine
When I finished your song in my own way
I couldn’t find all the words

Satellite

I’m gonna take my sweet time
Not coming down any time soon
Things feel so right
Up in my satellite
When I’m here things feel fine
Here I’m far away from you
I can spend all night
here in my satellite
Ooooh
We were spinning and whirling through this sky
We never thought we could get so high
Oooh
Till our orbits failed and came crashing down
Then nothing was left but the empty sound
of our hulls/hearts cracking all around
You’re miles from me now
Your face is with me still
From when you said goodnight
to my satellite
You tried hard to make me fall
But you’ll never understand
how I had to fight
for my satellite
The sound of good things ending
The sound of our hearts breaking
it was the sound of us as we
crashed into the wreckage all around
it was the sound of our souls shrieking
the sound of our pain speaking
it was the sound of pieces of our lives
crashing down, down into the ground
You can never touch me now
Now that I’ve taken flight
in my satellite

Dee Mac Hobart, Australia
Dee Mac is a musician from Hobart. She tends to write in rather eclectic styles, and finds sticking to one genre a little
too restricting. She realised a few years ago that she can't write short songs, and after trying to write pop bangers for far too long, she has finally embraced it, and now her songs tend to average 5-10 minutes long…
All in all, she’s just in it for the music <3
