Lyrics
This bed is hopeless
I need a better plan
These brain aerobics
So hard to understand
So i will scan the atlas
Inside my head
Find the places left
Uncorrupted
The furnished woodlands
Whispering at eventide
Forever child
I skipped the moment
The one where childhood ends
Missing component
In a world i cannot comprehend
So now i'm wandering through orchards
That smell sublime
These little Eden's healing
Time after time
A place with grace
Unchastened deep inside
Forever child
Swimming in a whimsical wonderland
Ditching societies digital plans
And itching to break free
From all that life demands
I missed the moment
The gate was open wide
Adult enrolment
It just wasn't on my mind
And now i'm swinging on a swing
At warp factor three
Soaring through universes, infinitely
This junior astronaut
Is reconciled
Forever and ever child
Break these chains to find
Unending flavours
(This is the moment of conception)
Seize the reigns
Of gains you find and savour
(Just grab a hold don't let them go)
Make way for the
Romancer extravagancer....
In The Woods
...Damn these eyes I wandered too far
Further and further
Deep in the umbra
There's no light
I strain to remember
Trails of the past gone
All grown over
Fire inside reduced to embers
Deadwood days I face
Lumbering through
Oak, Lime, Hornbeam
Pine, Spruce, Elder
Lost in woods
Forever
