By Ben Christo

So lock the door,

And descend the stairs, ....

Spiral down into the headlights’ glare.

But I’m so afraid of the graceless truth, ....

And every step that leads to you…

 ....

This is the moment, 

So what will you say now?....

Cutting hearts and diamonds on the edge of silence. ....

 ....

A single word,

Her empty eyes,

The final breath before our language dies.

So incomplete, ....

Like the cut oblique:....

The missing frames that flicker in my dreams.  ....

 ....

Hit the lights – I’ll try to write you down tonight, ....

Can’t define - beyond the exit sign.....

Hit the lights – I’ll try to write you down tonight, ....

Scars align - so I’m heading back into the night. ....

 ....

By Ben Christo

Don't talk it up,
Don't play it down,
Describe the moment when the lights went out.
Pronounce the feeling,
Describe the sound,
But just be sure - it's over now.

I've got to leave this time, it's the scene of a crime,
Never been one to read the signs.
Because the face of Truth is too sheer to climb,
And it's too late to believe in.

I can't just walk away -
Every step leads back to you.
But what else can I say,
When there's nothing left but...?

Now waking-up is breaking down,
The very fabric of life worn-out.
Vilified,
Cast in doubt,
The vibrant colours she disavowed.

I can't walk away...

JUST TONIGHT - Lyrics by Ben Christo

You, me,
Suddenly cut adrift – October's kiss.
Is this just feigned solemnity,
Or emergency?

It's not enough; it's never enough.
Let's pretend I said all the right things this time.

Final regret,
Maybe forget a thousand lies,
Just tonight.
Shapes and static:
A new language that I'll define
Just tonight.

I wish I could lift one shade of grey,
But everything has changed.
And my touch and my speech are rendered obsolete –
You're out of reach.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INSIDE - Lyrics by Ben Christo and Jonny Thornton

Can you forget your name tonight?
Walk away from the ashes and leave it all this time?

So just take one more step,
Turn out the lights,
But you'll still wait for her reply,
Take one more breath,
Tell one more lie,
It's all you can do just to stay alive.

Looks another one has been taken under,
Will you feel regret when's there's nothing left inside?

Could you see her face in its aggressive frame?
Could you watch your sense of pride unravel into shame?

Will you feel regret when's there's nothing left -

Inside,
Is there anything that you believe (in)
Inside...

Now breathe before you disappear,
Rephrase the words she'll never hear,
The hours that give way beneath you,
And crashing lights that carry you back home.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HERE I AM - Lyrics by Ben Christo

Now – the words have faded away,
Just waiting for ignition,
So - the nights beneath the waves,
Eroded the inscription.

Somebody took control of me,
I never had a chance,
Somebody got a hold of me,
Somebody…

Here I am, once again,
And it's just like the last time,
It's just like…

Words – a useless tourniquet,
Sick of all the phrases,
So - another heartless day,
Got lost in the pages.

Here I am, once again,
And it's just like the last time,
It's just like the first time.
