THE KEEPER (Balsamo, Mylan, Reed)
I wear the crown
and all I see is mine looking down
On you all
You are small,
I control the tide
The sea of change the rise the fall
I’m a raging storm
And you will never see me creeping up behind
And I will just release you, only to hunt you down
Chorus
Lies, I am lies,I am strong
(I will take you down)
Cries, I am cries, in the hills of these towns
(I will take you down)
Slide, I reside in the back of your mind,
(and I know you’re kind)
Man alive, use your eyes, I’m coming for you I am coming for you
I control the tide
The sea of change
The rise and fall inside
I’m the raging storm
So deep in my bones
The long forgotten pictures of home
I am the raging storm
I am calm
I am warm
I am calm
And you will never see me creeping up behind
And I will just release you only to hunt you down
Chorus
I’m coming for you
(I’m coming for you)
I’m coming for you
(I’m coming for you)
I’m coming for you
Spoken word
“Its gonna be great!-I’ll start putting money aside- I’ll do my plastering course- you can reduce on the juice -we’re gonna love it so much-I’m gonna sing to it in your belly so it knows me when it gets here-it’s gonna be smart & confident & happy-so happy & safe- Football!-its gonna be Maradona by the time I’ve passed on my skills-we can get moved to a house down West Cross so it
grows up by the sea- the good schools- away from the city so it has a chance to be someone &- WHAT PLANET ARE YOU ON BRUMMIE STOP!!!
Just STOP. Please.
I’ve got three kids in care... What makes you think…
It’s not that I don’t want it. I want it too. But...
How the hell are they gonna allow me to... Three already lost.
Why would we even contemplate a world...
It’ll kill us dead Brummie. Dreaming, will kill us dead...
And I looked at her, really looked at her & eventually I said...
We’ll get them back... We’ll get them all back...
I believe in us... I really do...”
A slipstream of streets
Kaleidoscope of souls at my feet
I am the raging storm
(I am the raging storm)
I will keep you warm, keep you warm
(Keep you warm)
Oh we’ve travelled so far
Sleeping underneath a sky full of stars
Oh we’re lost in a raging storm
(Lost in a raging storm)
Oh you will never see me
You will never see me
I will release you
I will release you
No
Chorus
And I know your kind
Man alive (use your eyes)
I’m coming for you
Chorus

NVISIBLE PEOPLE (Balsamo, Mylan, Reed)
Strip lights and hard chairs
See everything tonight
Shows the scars and the flaws
Pretending everything will be alright
If hope is a kind of prayer
I’m on my knees
If hope is a kind of prayer
I’m on my knees
Invisible people
We are all invisible people
Invisible people
Cages are cages
Even when disguised as castle walls
In the clean air
the dirty secrets fall
There’s a whispers in the static
Old boxes in the attic
It only takes an ember
Burning to remember
Remember who we are
To catch fire, catch fire
Invisible people
We are all invisible people
Invisible people
Look around tell me who you see
Look around is it really me
Tell me what you see
Spoken word
So my dealer went dark...
It’s usually only 24 hours while he reloads but on the 2nd night I was fucking crawling so I had to phone the scousers for the first time, which I didn’t wanna do.
You don’t know what or who’s coming but they’re always on so I had no choice really...
25 minutes later- met a kid on a moped & took it back to my room.
Thankfully the gear was banging-on weight too.
Probably didn’t recognise the drop so gave me the ‘new customer meal deal’... anyway I was relieved...
But I like to keep it all simple. The less involved the better, phoning the scousers made it all feel that little bit too real- & I know that sounds stupid- I know I’m right in the fucking shit & this is all very real, but even after all this time...I’m still not used to it...I still can’t get my head around the fact that all the filthy fucking addicts I judged in my head & to colleagues- even when I was on morphine, are now...
Fucking hell-I don’t know- I see them... I fucking see them now...all these invisible people...
If hope is a kind of prayer
I’m on my knees
Invisible people
We are all invisible people
Invisible people
Hold me
You purify my soul
Heal me
It’s you that makes me whole
Save me
You purify my soul
Love me
It’s you that makes me whole
Touch me
Don’t you break me
It’s you that makes me whole
I want me you to love me

DREAMING WILL KILL US DEAD (Balsamo, Mylan, Reed)
When lightening agrees to coalesce
Be caught in a jar of happenstance
To fuse the spark and start the dance
I know that it’s no coincidence
We sat in the road and looked to the sky
dragons and demons caught our eye
Worlds apart but united in the lie
I know it’s no coincidence
It’s older and wiser
Than we can grasp from where we stand
But maybe maps we’ve found
Will help us understand
The roses in bloom have all been bled
Dreaming will kill us dead
Dreaming will kill us dead
Dreaming will kill us dead
Dreaming will kill us dead
Tonight
These city streets are slick with rain
A ghost in a storefront window pane
Looks like me but I don’t know his name
I know it’s no coincidence
Blue lights are lighting up your face
An angel in a state of grace
Followed the tracks that brought you to this place
I know it’s no coincidence
It’s older and wiser
Than we can grasp from where we stand.
But maybe maps we’ve found
Will help us understand
The roses in bloom have all been bled
Dreaming will kill us dead
Dreaming will kill us dead
Dreaming will kill us dead
Dreaming will kill us dead
Tonight
Spoken word
“When I found myself walking back through those automatic doors...
Imagine you were made of porcelain...& inside you was a stick of dynamite with a fuse that’s slowly burning down throughout your life... & then it blows & your porcelain shell explodes, but you’re suspended in that agonising moment, the moment you come apart, you’re held there. Eternally.
That’s who I was when I walked back through those doors, pale, tired, bloated from a 3 week binge of Aldi gin & Rossi’s.
I felt every second of that 12 a half hour shift...& what killed me the absolute most... The love was gone...
I had nothing.
Weeks went by on nothing- & it’s difficult- It’s a tricky one this...
All I can tell you is it wasn’t premeditated.
It just sort of, presented itself...”
I reach like Adam to touch your hand
I pray the words I cry will land
You’re building castles in the sand
I know it’s no coincidence
When lightening agrees to coalesce
Be caught in a jar of happenstance
To fuse the spark and start the dance
I know that it’s no coincidence
Dreaming will kill us dead
Dreaming will kill us dead
Dreaming will kill us dead
Tonight
