Don't Look Down

I'm gonna save your life
Cos noone can do this alone
and of all the two edged things were forced to hold,
this one wont make any sense unless you look at it wrong.
So Im gonna save your life
while the darkness drags hard at your heels
and if youre going to take this tiny heavy step now
don't you dare look down and
let the abyss grab hold.
Cos I'm gonna save your life.
All silence is heavy until someone speaks
until someone who's brave can name gravitys hold
and your hands, they look tired
and your palms cut and worn
from the struggle to crawl up
to stand up
to fight for a single foothold.
So I'm gonna save your life
I'm gonna take your hand
and it shakes like a leaf, just like mine does, just like theirs do.
I'm gonna ask you to shut your eyes.
To feel the touch of my skin on your own
feel the warmth push through it.
I want you to
hold it
feel it
taste it
breathe it
know it
see it
be it
beleive it
Cos it's gonna save your life.

The Ferryman (c) & (p) Jordan Reyne 2014
You ride again, and you still won't pay
cos the middle and back isn't going the whole way
your island, oh
has a siren you say.
But this song is your own, and you use it to shift blame.
Her on the shore - "mother" is no name
and the lake lady's lure, an anonymous fame
and we glide overtop, and you wont dive in
oh that dark
would hide us all from sin.
All you can eat - you're a man of your time.
Consumption as virtue - oh it used to be mine.
And choices are taken, even when they're not made
and full cross or not, I'll always get paid.
This is your last trip - yeah the boat stops here.
And with two half lives, you're not a whole of a man
so Ill ask you for one name
but you close your eyes and sigh, sigh, sigh.
Pitiful man - here is my price
you can row back and forth between duty and vice
but you'll never set foot upon island or shore
cos those with no ties never needed the earth.

Rulers of Men
They said they'd tame the sea
when all her storms began their howling.
Said they'd patch the holes in sky
before the sun bought us to boiling.
And they said they'd stop the fires
before we burned for understanding.
Then they watergated wires
to stop the questions and the talking.
And my boy is burning.
They stared building walls
around their power and their comfort.
But no guns have yet been fired,
so keep your heads down, go in quiet.
Cos who am I to say
that this is all the start of endings
When we all hope and pretend
just keeping on will bring us everything.
But my boy is burning.
My boy is burning.
My boy is burning.
Right in front of me.
