Wide Awake

I'm wide awake
No need to stir anyone
I'm quite the fake
Convince myself before I'm done
Can't see the light
I seem to stumble at every turn
Can't make it right
Flames will light before I burn
Stuck in the dark
Floating in depths of gloom
Shall we disembark
Into secrets I can’t even presume
I'm wide awake
No need to stir anyone
I'm quite the fake
Convince myself before I'm done
I’m still awake
Am I awake?
I feel awake
Can’t stay awake
I’m not awake
I’m not
And the light seems so far - Don’t close the door
I ain't no fallen star
I’m sinking down
To a taste of no return
I go underground
Sweet surrounds and no concern
I'm wide awake
No need to stir anyone
I'm quite the fake
Convince myself before I'm done
I’m still awake
Am I awake?
I feel awake
Can’t stay awake
I’m not awake
I'm wide awake
No need to stir anyone
I'm quite the fake
Convince myself before I'm done

Painted Skin

I touch your tattoo, and look at you
Feel your skin, like I used to
I look at you, I wanna see through
Another kiss I fall for you
I read your life on painted skin
Untold stories of your sin
A hidden image no one knows
A broken heart or a black rose
I touch your tattoo, and look at you
Feel your skin, like I used to
I look at you, I wanna see through
Another kiss I fall for you
A canvas for your memories
Timeless marks are set free
Heavy lines reveal your past
I see your soul at long last
I touch your tattoo, and look at you
Feel your skin, like I used to
I look at you, I wanna see through
Another kiss I fall for you

Colours

In the dark light I glow white
Bright makes me close my eyes
The sky is a mirror of ripples
the sea an imposter in disguise
The vain breed among the leaves
And green is just a lie
Your shape is in the wave
I’m so jealous - I don’t know why
I see red in my folly
And anger is a torching color
The money man wears a blue suit
I wear a blue collar
A bright light in total sum
prophets say it’s green
Purple haze is my blue pill
My doctor says please stay clean
The smell of the rain is liquid
While my sanity runs high
The yellow sands of my barren mind
a hot wind sweeping dry
I see red in my folly
And anger is a torching color
The money man wears a blue suit
I wear a blue collar
A primary morphs to second
And amber takes my heart
Like a painter’s brush on fire
You are my work of art
With light pink hues, and golden blues
The thunder roars out loud
I cower at the thought that
A willing start has never come about
I see red in my folly
And anger is a torching color
The money man wears a blue suit
I wear a blue collar
All the colours blend into one
All the colours blend into one
All the colours blend into one
All the colours, colours, colours

Give Me Serenity
04:05

Looking for a driving fire
And a way to survive
They say dreams inspire
I’m switchin on to overdrive
No more always, no more never
Gotta be the change that you seek
Here, now and whenever
In a win, a draw or in defeat
Tired of striving only to achieve
Wanna leave my slumber to become
Under the thunder on Christmas eve
Trim your sails is the rule of thumb
Flip it all, upside down
Spin it on its head
Don’t sit (here) waiting for a turnaround
Embrace your fear, run the red
Hey… give me serenity
Hey… things that you do to me
Hey… give me serenity
Hey… things that you do to me, stay with me, come with me, let’s be free
Be so kind - To unwind (hey)
Peace of mind (hey, hey) Land divine
Looking for a driving fire
And a way to survive
They say dreams inspire
I’m switchin on to overdrive
No more always, no more never
Gotta be the change that you seek
Here, now and whenever
In a win, a draw or in defeat
Hey… give me serenity
Hey… things that you do to me
Hey… give me serenity
Hey… things that you do to me, stay with me, come with me, let’s be free
Flip it all, upside down
Spin it on its head
Listen for life and the sound
Embrace your fear, run the red

Shadows

That lady is my lover
She don’t know it yet
If she does discover
My Juliet
I tell myself: one day
I know it’s a lie
Convince myself to stay
I may die
I have no way to tell
I persuade
She ignored me as well
And love fades
It may have been just a teenage crush
But I could feel her creeping under my flesh
I peer from the shadows, I wonder
I lay in the shadows, I wonder
Should I leave the shadows, I wonder
Fortune favours the brave
I’m a shy guy
Willing to be your slave
I can’t deny
Today you’re my goal
I tell myself
But then courage folds
A blow dealt
It may have been just a teenage crush
But I could feel her creeping under my flesh
I peer from the shadows, I wonder
I lay in the shadows, I wonder
Should I leave the shadows, I wonder
I wish is to be true
You fly by
I am in full view
Out of sight
My words are unseen
I distress
My thoughts in between
I regress
It may have been just a teenage crush
But I could feel her creeping under my flesh
I peer from the shadows, I wonder
I lay in the shadows, I wonder
Should I leave the shadows, I wonder

Flint. Brisbane, Australia
Flint. has a sound that is not obvious, traversing several realms. Odd tunings, unexpected chord progressions, peculiar percussion blended with lyrical musings taking listeners on a roller coaster ride of moods, feelings and ideas. At one moment, a listener may hear something remotely familiar; however, before they can digest the sound, it is transformed into something unforeseen, or was it? ... more
