Beneath a cause betrayed, conceal bitter feelings, take them to your grave, don’t give in to Blues, let every bell ring, my celebrations will be huge, what a noise they'll make, no curdled soup of wailing, everyone knows their fate, sprinkle perfume around the room, when called upon to sing, crash into hullabaloo, watch ships in the bay, it's time to fling, salt on all this heartache, with the kids brand new, will laugh at everything, even if it isn't true, won’t gamble all and say, love for me is everything, even if he's turned the page, I'm still hoping.

Can still hear me Da, laughing like a foghorn, wondering what's wrong, happy we're not scarred, or left forlorn. keys turn on the car, have to switch off, looking war-torn, he broke us lot, stamping his cigarette tar, anger like lightning born, his ashes fall like stars, right from the start, he pushed his own cart, unsure about his heart, we can’t find that chart, my son knows the score', how far it's gone, trips to the market yard, old shirts he’s worn, drink tore him apart, love has no form

Xareni

It's quiet here now, after fifty years of need, my heart still calls home, still as the cave, where praise be, I hope to be saved, my body glistens and glows, back in this country, it's here that I grow, provide me this space, I’ll take serenity, especially on feast days, storks with barren tones, glide against the breeze, on volcano's shoulder, they heasr me pray, in light of the season, my life on the rails, in the blue dawn, stripped like a tree, my hands cover a rose, old lovers weep.

Victoria

I keep trouble at bay, know what this job requires, any problems look away, they pester me for loans, even if I seek the tide, you're never left alone, won't stumble in the gaze, fan their desire, no one here's that brave, scared to your bones, when they call you a liar, threaten them with guns, ride that blue wave, pretend you carry a knife, dare them look look again, you don't have to 'phone, make signals and signs, I'm good on my own, maybe what it takes, bring bellows to my fire, give me something to trade, I'm not out for hire.

Ully

He won't stay up late, says love barely exists, lets me get my skates, the earth he explains, acts like it has a stitch, I’m not afraid, someone asks for small change, pavement tunes play this, it'd be a cheek to say, go spin your plates, do you want me in bits, crying by the door again, seeing his place, it’s as if a launderette, tumbles around with my fate, his little smile migrates, am I with another misfit, who's never seen a wage, such time of little grace, when you figure it, is it me who makes chase, something missing ?

Taelyn

I’m set to freeze, my soul strung out tight, someone set me free, in your eyes amour, just do what's right, I won't ask for more, rock me gently, say we're all on a ride, don't be unhappy, the hearts of lost souls, dance all entwined, or loll by my door, handsome, perfect, serene, you kiss me quietly, do what others only scheme, ever so tight, have I just died, and walk on water, a star across the sea, it's the Easter light, bathing me in dreams, everything's alright.

Sage

You scream the bitter news, in troubled nights, as if you knew, all the different ones, left hanging on the line, we loved now gone, fire burns up the flue, show me how to cry, when you are so blue, it’s not me unlocked, something deep inside, everything held and lost, no matter what you use, however much you try, no one is immune, who cares if I’m crocked, can still swim the tide, shine beyond my shock, you will smell my perfume, clouds furl against the sky, death brings no curfew, even when we die.
