Carrie

Raise a steady sign, in darkness grain blue, make our eyes align, come with me I moan, to this place of virtue, no one dies alone, we sail down the aisle, upset many a pew, make prayers of our lives, steer an even course, swollen along the dunes, temptation's all we know, you provide my sight, more than any muse, why hide away and hide, someday we’ll grow old, no one will bring news, our lives will unfold, bells ring out at night, journey's fire the truth, your tears tell me why, I'll always love you.

Bethan

Bring me sparkling jewels, let me laugh through fears driftwood stacks our fuel, my voice brings you grace, what else can you hear, songs of a drunken oblate, turn your ship you fool, heed our sirens clear, don't act bemused, our fireline spells your fate, perfume costs you dear, cargo arrives and breaks, you beg for other fools, to keep their visions clear, golden domes pursued, all along the freight lanes, whole lives end in tears, they carry too much weight, take no note of news, we'll keep a passage clear, the better to see you, all you need is here.

Annie

I'll dance with you, right through the gate, melt me lemon blue, don't make it sound, like I’m a special case, in yellow doused Cologne, I'll climb over the moon, church and state, if you beat the blues, we are never alone, still far away, a promenade to our hope, tell me the truth, if your vision's so great, why cloack it in ruins, maybe a lousy home, made you this way, set you out to roam, but you make me swoon, keep me as your date, forget all the rumours, love doesn’t age.

Zayla

You who always fight, see my robes of springtime hue, in your cotton stripes, within a sea of sharks, your smile arrives on cue, beams while I enter, throws no crass disguise, the lightness of balloons, you are that wise, I swing through the carpark, leaving the visitor's room, looks will take me far, they sail around my eyes, discard fake news, brook no bridge of sighs, am happy you're so smart, your spirit lifts the avenue, no need to say ta ra, you’ll beat these confines, nothing to refuse, give me the best dial, you're coming home soon.

Yaretzi

if you knew how to give, you wouldn't need, places like this to live, it’s no child’s game, around your greed, chastened by your days, what about the kids, with all their surly needs, you'd let them drift, golden lies can't negate, the spin of your crease, everything you say, spider's threads of fibs, a whole life of unease, determines who bids, foolish to remonstrate, ask you to desist, while you pontificate, parcel your life in bits, no time for loving needs, all the stuff you've hid, i'll make them see.

Xandria

It just goes to show, when I hear your blues, in some lane dead slow, a witness to those signs all blah and ugly feuds, packs of weary lies, the missed loans, anything said to unhook, my frozen clothes, instead of jibes, and all your doodle doo, it's better that I cry, more than what you know, still hold a certitude, keep a cheery tone, why try to be wise, to me it's nothing new, marked those weary nights, better face the blow, some things I always knew, release troubled souls, in particular you.

Waverley

The love you blow, are dice gone astray, a fool with every throw, is it in your creed, to circle night from day, why you can't see, in garments sewn, like a drunken oblate, gambling's all you know, tables chased by whiskey, nowhere's talk of shame, lightning sets you free, looking like a scarecrow, poker has no grace, head bowed as you go, don't come back to me, plead to ease your pain, how to make you happy, brilliant atonement, glistens your name, not one last sorrow, in your face.
