Beggar Princess

Hey to you my darling
Have you looked into a mirror lately
’Cause I’ve been seeing things
You’ve grown up so much
I can’t see the end of you
You’re head in the clouds and your toes dug in the sand
I want to steal this
From you, my beggar princess
And yes, it’s just a moment
Of truth with you and me in it
Hey to you my darling
I’ve woken up to a morning sun
That draws a halo ’round your head
Innocence I’ve mocked
I’ve laughed in scorn
But now a look at you is like a slap in my old face
I want to steal this
From you, my beggar princess
And yes, it’s just a moment
Of truth with you and me in it
So why should we die?
So why should we die?
We’re special, you and I
We got this far
To fall apart
Oh, but no
Hey to you my darling
Have you seen me lately
Ready for tomorrow, with a light in my eyes
I want to feel this
Like you do my beggar princess
And yes, it’s just a moment
Of truth with you and me in it
So why should we die?
So why should we die?
We’re special, you and I

Sea of Pleasantries

I’m floating on a sea of hubris
And the servile few keep growing
Into a school of mini-mes
I’m living like I always wanted
My words are people’s gospel
And it affects my mind, my friend
I can not keep things to myself
Dearie me
I’m floating on a sea of pleasantries
’Cause no-one tells me no
And I don’t say please
Or any of those other niceties
’Cause that shit’s just weak
The other day I felt like sharing
So I handed my wisdom down
And it caused a pretty scene
Some shout at me, but I’m not worried
I’m protected by laws I loathe
And therefor disregard
I find myself the perfect man
Dearie me
I’m floating on a sea of pleasantries
’Cause no-one tells me no
And I don’t say please
Or any of those other niceties
’Cause that shit’s just weak
That shit is just weak
There were shots from some poor dummy
I never said to take my meaning by the word
Dear listener, don’t worry about me
I’m up here safe and sound
In my precious ivory tower
From a great big height
I see your plight
Now fight

Trail of Lies

Hello
From a mind hell-bent and lost
A ripple of pretty soothing words
Always at someone else’s cost
Yeah, I’ll do this right
Think I’ll tear myself apart
Right down to my treacherous heart
See if it’s something you still want a part of
Hello, I’m here
And I’m sick and tired
Leaving a trail of lies
Yeah, my heart it cries
And my tear-stained face
Can’t wash away those lies
Hush now heart
You can never take it back
Once it’s out there in the cracks
It’ll fester and maybe break your back
Hello, I’m here
And I’m sick and tired
Leaving a trail of lies
Yeah, my heart it cries
And my tear-stained face
Can’t wash away those lies
Have I a soul
You can bring yourself to
Love as a whole
With all my queer exceptions
I’m not the rule
So will you just sit down and breathe
With me
Hello, I’m here tonight
And I’m sick and tired
Leaving a trail of lies
Yeah, my heart it cries
And if I don’t come clean
No, this can’t be my life
This can’t be my life

Sick Song

You pull me out this godforsaken jungle
Of imposing on all my misery
I’m leaving behind a life faded to grey tone
Flushing red with a lovesong
You’re holding up my light again
A light I thought I’d lost
How easily it burns again
Without drugs, creed or cost
You have passed across that line
A line I thought stood firm
You will prove me wrong again
My lines don’t pose a halt for you
I’m sick on the floor
I hate all that I’m writing
The birds outside seem to be mocking me
There’s too much white noise
Too much words that only mean half-things
But here I stand with a lovesong
You’re holding up my light again
A light I thought I’d lost
How easily it burns again
Without drugs, creed or cost
You have passed across that line
A line I thought stood firm
You will prove me wrong again
My lines don’t pose a halt for you
For you
For you
For you

The Fisherman & The Sea Helsinki, Finland
From Finland – a country that allegedly holds more metal bands than park rangers are able to rescue from their gothic photoshoots in the hinterlands, and where disoriented polar bears roam downtown shopping centres – hail singer-songwriter Jon Eden and his band. His roots also put him in Hamburg, Germany thus planting him somewhere in the Baltic Sea in compromise – hence the name of the band. ... more
