12:26 to Blackpool North 22 minutes of solitary thought Trying my best not to get caught Up in these things, ideas and dreams Kirkham and Wesham slip out of sight The couple beside me Watching me write Tourists and teenagers headed for Saturday night While I sit here with nothing But fears to fight Scared of staying still Feeling trapped in my own skin Though I'm longing to begin, I'm stalling Scared of moving on It's like I don't know what I want I afraid of what's to come... Train now arriving, Poulton-le-Fylde Pushing past people like some impatient child, 'cause I'm Feeling too stormy for weather so mild My spirit is willing, but my flesh is wild, I'm... Scared of staying still Feeling trapped in my own skin Though I'm longing to begin, I'm stalling Scared of moving on It's like I don't know what I want Hiding here, behind a song... Yeah I'm sick of staying still And I scared of moving on It's like I don't know what I want I'm afraid of what's to come No, I don't know what I want I'm afraid of what's to come...

Don't make any sudden moves Can't you see my beast is sleeping? It's been with me all my life I can't hide But I can't beat this Without you, without you I'm drop in the desert I'm a breath in the sea I don't understand myself Or this internal war I'm waging I'm enslaved by what I hate But my desire is for your freedom Within you, within you There is hope for the sinner There is strength for the weak Here on my knees Here patiently I'll wait for you To deliver me Without you, without you I'm drop in the desert I'm a breath in the sea But I'll keep my head above water 'Cause you're coming for me Within you, within you There is hope for the sinner There is strength for the weak So I'll wait here in the silence Waiting for you to speak

about

Vox Artis is a quiet triumph.

This is music...

...pressed, pushed, screwed up, thrown away, picked up, flattened out, and reimagined.

Music that survived.

Music that wouldn't let me let go.
