Vaani

Brilliant stones, sculpture your name, Spring's in full flow, you want to be free, this is some game, how to stay happy, dance on sprung floors, treat penury as fame, others will follow, taste salt by the sea, burst past the flames, it's what you believe, to love each home, make friends with each day, laugh when they go, jewels and glass pieces, not worthy of name, only sing for release, look to the morrow, when no one feels blame, wild as the Crow, fly into the rain.

Xareni

Memories of your face, so eager to see, the soul of your grace, you recoil at my thunder, my very conceit, a man fixed by numbers, send for me too late, please bring me peace the dreams where you lay, a path uncluttered, my insides heave, why did you never love, who goes out one day, while I’m still asleep, and simply fades away. it does make you wonder, Roses, headstones,graves, who splits who asunder, me I hear you say, now you smile easy, never afraid, being released.

These waters groan, they ignite our flame, a ship brings us home, don’t know what to do, on cracking Spring days, those asking for food, can we ever atone, what’s done in our name, especially what's gone, how bright is this view, that flies in our face, asks what we're doing, the love that has flown, across fathoms od space, fires a warning, the sea is lemon blue, your eyes come awake, nothing more is true, whatever is told, help keep us safe, honour our blood, keep the same name.

Exploding our chains, will they ever forgive, the mess we made, best not to moan, or want to rescind, this life as a loan, we live in a haze, recovered from bliss, polished like glaze, we’re not alone, to carry on like this, there's meat on our bones, search for each day, to seize in our grip, love more than trade, welcome their stones, consider the shift, we're not going home, when someone says, you lot don't fit, we’ll show them the way, how to give.

Sienna

A flower at my side, just some little token, held with great pride, ribbons in my hair, stuff that's unspoken, never so aware, too silly to ask why, that stupid photograph, shows how you cry, forget all the hurt, memories invoke, beyond all your care, suggest heaven's sight, is there for the coaxing, nothing passes by, all that we share, lies close to our clothing, who says life is fair, sing our favourite lines, know that love's spoken, don’t try to hide, what remains unbroken.

Dance in shiny shoes, sing songs of desire always pay your dues, if no one 'phones, why wait for reminders, you know how it goes, each little bit of you, faces cruel ire, just tell the truth, life isn't a stone, you leave in the fire, no one's just alone, your point of view, is found in the choir, find another crew, show in your tones, when others conspire, you'll send them home, if they bring feuds, beg for more hire, say their confused, you're not a liar.

Querida

If that’s my crime, pass the sentence to come, drink some sweet wine, won’t get bitter, in what gasses for love, I can’t alter this, forget broken lines, that sing in my blood, someone's other life, you tried to make slip, all there's to discover, lost in your grip, entwined, my silence is the rub, take note of the time, no more tricks, on a face that I scrub, laugh at such a fix, hear the bells chime, won't be misunderstood, now that I’m flying, don't need your touch.
