Alexi Murdoch -Shine

I wonder why
We are the way we are
And so I wonder why
We are the way we are
And why
We only love each other from afar
This is how we are fading
This is how we are fading
Time
Time
You spend your days watching the door
Yeah you spend your whole life waiting
But you dont know what for
You have everything you need right here
Still you want more
Ow this how we are fading
This is how we are fading
Time
Time
Well I didn't come here
Looking for a soul
And I'm tired of watching dust collecting all above
I'm a spirit trying to be human
I'm just a spirit trying to be human
But im thinking
This is how we are fading
Whis is how we are fading
Time
Time
You hold on to yourself
You're afraid that you might get left behind
And so you hide your eyes
You're afraid that the lie will make you blind
But it's time
It's time to shine
Yes it's time to believe in what you know
Time to believe in what you know
Time to believe in what you know
And you don't need strength te be strong
Time to believe in what you know
No you don't need strength te be strong
Time to believe in what you know
Time to believe in what you know
Time to believe in what you know
Time to believe in what you know
Time to believe the far you go

This will only end in tears.

doubt

doubt creeps in
like cat burglar
rummaging through my thoughts
picking out the jewels of hope
and absconding with them
through the window

Correspondence

I've kept all your correspondence
when read together
I can see our story
unfold before me

flirting in our friendship
guarded in our fears
venting all your anger
to all just end in tears

letting go

I'm letting go of loving you
it hurts in every pore.
as the bruises fade
from my skin
my heart's bruises
deepen more

the path
we walked
was jagged rocks
pain with every step
yet I would travel
back that way
to be in your arms again

Auger

I cannot auger your intentions
from a review of your actions
pick through the entrails of your affection
to determine its meaning

What I should have known

gut voice
a whisper
though loud as a storm

red flags
warnings
so many mines to disarm

years ago
like magnets
attracted then repelled

time has come
I join the list
of those who came before

a history
of broken hearts
mishaps and tortured love
