Walls
(Words & Music © 2006 Peter Bloom)

   Come along - the world awaits
   A work of art no hand can trace
   She's lovely
   She'll steal your every thought
Lighting up a night of stars
   Bright enough to hide the scars
   The moment skips and slowly slips away
   Seems too far is as close as I can be
   King of all imperfect harmony

   Chorus:
   These Walls keep something inside of me
   I want all the world to know
   But I can't seem to let it show
   Another bird without a song
   Every word I write is wrong
   All alone and tongue-tied to a tree
   While its shadow hides the light you'll never see

   Choose your cross
   The life you want
   The truth lost
   The liars won
   No one knows the limit
   You're in it till you're gone
   Then you go back to whence you came
   Soul path leads once again
   To on and on
   You need to belong
   Forever more a beggar for a home

   Chorus: (Same 1st half)...
   A lonely wave bound for shore
All around a million more
   Come and go and no one knows we've been
   Life's a riddle
   How little now can mean

Sand falls from the metal of a shovel
   Man calls for a battle with the devil
   All right boys don't miss your calling
   Loud noise like missiles falling
   Can't breathe and I'm reaching for someone
   Jesus - please it's me
   I'm coming up for air
   There's no one there

   Chorus: (Same 1st half)...
   A flower laid on lime above
   A final fading sign of love
   Will find a way to play a part again
   Too much time - it never came to me
   Too much time - forever's plain to see
   You'll never die if you never close your eyes
   No goodbyes
   No goodbyes

Chorus: (Same 1st half)...
So now you know

Haven’t Hit the Floor Yet

(Words & Music Ó 2006 Peter Bloom)

I haven’t hit the floor yet

I’m not going down

Like a stubborn sunset

I’m still around

I’ll never leave you alone (X2)

I’m going to light up the sky

With infinite grace

A lot of years have passed us by

They can’t be erased

I’ll never leave you alone (X2)

Chorus:

I’ve been standing still

While the world’s been spinning round

And every face became

Just a face in the crowd

I’ve been losing sleep

As the night’s been gaining ground

But I won’t let the night

Drag me down

I haven’t hit the floor yet

Go on dry your eyes

Been living only to forget

Forever never dies

I’ll never leave you alone

Chorus

It won’t drag me down – Memories in a cage

It won’t drag me down – Fading from the page

It won’t drag me down – It’ll never wipe away

What was ours

It’s still ours

Our love

Chorus

I haven’t hit the floor yet

Careful

(Words & Music Ó 2007 Peter Bloom)

Picked up the phone last night at quarter to ten

You sounded a million miles away

You said you’d be coming back

To where you’re from again

Someday

Now you know it’s hopeless

Trying to wish away the pain

The clouds in your brilliant skies will break

And leave an afterglow

But you have to let it go

Can’t save the drowning sorrows

Tied to your mistakes

Chorus:

Be careful my love

Don’t throw your life away

Don’t let the night beat the day

Be careful my love

Till morning shines again

I’ll be your light

It’s set in stone

Looks like you won’t let reason in

Well then I tell you child be safe

But now if you come home

And somehow still feel alone

When daylight fills tomorrow

I won’t make you stay

Chorus

Has the stain of it all made you blind

Let the colour of shame fade out in time

Come on

There’s a chain on your soul that you’ve tied

Help me to change your mind tonight

Come on

Chorus

Picked up the phone tonight at quarter to ten

You sounded a million miles away

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

You know there's no good way to leave
Just go
Are you sorry
You never let it show
Do you blame yourself

You're holding on as though you even care
Time will mend so many holes
Sew many tears

I sit and wait alone and pretend
A cigarette holding my hand
A silhouette my only friend
Will you let it end

Chorus:
Love - we're better off this way
These splattered shades of gray
Will never fully cover up what once was
Love - don't call it giving in
Surrender's not the same
As letting go

We both could choke on all the reasons
Why are you trying to find
Insight in hindsight

When our bitterness has tainted the view
Is it better for yourself if you do
Whatever helps you make it through

Chorus

Is it better to have lost
Than never to have loved
Or been loved
Was Tennyson liar
Did pain and poetry conspire
Just to fool a hopeful heart

Chorus
