The Void
Music and Lyrics by Kate Owen
VERSE 1
You’re always leaning down
Eyes melt away the ground
Pulls me down
She never screams out loud
Doesn’t even make a sound
Holds it in
CHORUS 1
And if I fall will you carry me
Down the void
And if I fall will you carry me
Down the void
Ooooooo x2
VERSE 2
You’ve always love the dark
Clothes all black velvet
Wears me down
He never takes it off
A cloak black and soft
Keeps her warm
CHORUS 2
And if I fall will you carry me
Down the void
And if I fall will you carry me
Down the void
Ooooooo x2
BRIDGE
Lined with moss and burned with time
And so far down x 2
CHORUS 3
And if I fall will you carry me
Down the void
And if I fall will you carry me
Down the void
Ooooooo x2
Hey ay yay

Trigger
Music and Lyrics by Kate Owen
VERSE 1
I’ve got a taste
It’s bitter on my tongue
Makes it hard to swallow
Thoughts of you
While I’ll never know
The battle raging inside of you
I still need you to stay
CHORUS 1
So pull the trigger
Break the mirror
Watch me Bleed x 2
VERSE 2
You told me one day
It would be better off that way
Cause you feel like your drowning
In the rain
I’ll get my affairs in order
Cause I’ll be out for years
This wound your about to wield
Will make sure of that
CHORUS 2
So pull the trigger
Break the mirror
Watch me Bleed x 2
BRIDGE
I’m tired baby
I’m tired of breathing for you
CHORUS 3
So pull, pull the trigger
Break, break the mirror
So pull, pull the trigger
Watch me bleed
Watch me bleed

Hungry Ghost
Music and Lyrics by Kate Owen
VERSE 1
The light is on, (but) baby your not home
You say it’s all right babe but I know it’s all wrong
Getting real high, falling down low
Feeding the ghost
Driving too fast, breathing too slow
Feeding the ghost
PRE-CHORUS 1
So hold me
Under the water now
I’m not breathing anyway
Go on and hold me
Under the water now
You said it would be this way
Hey.
CHORUS 1
Hunger drowns, The desperate clown
And, ghost blood weeps, Onto Angels feet
Hunger drowns, The desperate clown
While his child cries alone
He just wants to feel home
Verse 2
The stars are bright, but all you see in dark
Pushing too far, holding too tight
Feeding the ghost
Getting real high, falling down low
Feeding the ghost
PRE-CHORUS 2
So hold me
Under the water now
I’m not breathing anyway
Go on and hold me
Under the water now
You always said it would be this way
CHORUS 2
Hunger drowns, The desperate clown
And, ghost blood weeps, Onto Angels feet
Hunger drowns, The desperate clown
While his child cries alone
He just wants to feel home

Heathens Prayer
Music and Lyrics by Kate Owen
VERSE 1
The night came down on me
a heavy leaden plough
Her best friend came
With the look of dreaded now
And I breathed , nothing changed
A scream, nothing changed
CHORUS 1
So I fall down on to my knees
A heathen’s prayer have mercy on me
She falls down on to her knees
A heathen’s prayer have mercy on me
And I breathed, nothing changed
A scream, nothing changed
VERSE 2
The years bore down on him
It’ll all be over soon
He smiled through tears for her
Stood tall in crowded rooms
And he breathed, nothing changed
He screamed, nothing changed
CHORUS 2
So he falls down on to his knees
Her heathen’s prayer have mercy on me
So she falls down on to her knees
A heathen’s prayer have mercy on me
OURTO
And I fall (Have mercy on me) …repeats to end

Better Man

VERSE 1
Don’t crowd me I’m still broken

Don’t laugh at me I’m still so sad
Still got this tear drop in my hand

When she’s taught her hearts only good as part of two
An, I always thought I’d be with a better man.

When I’ve got this teardrop in my hand

If you can do that I’ll know that I’m with a better man
CHORUS 2
Sister won’t you tell me , What’s a girl to do
When she’s taught her hearts only good as part of two
An, I always thought I’d be with a better man.

When she’s taught her hearts only good as part of two
An, I always thought I’d be with a better man.

Blew Away
Music and Lyrics by Kate Owen
Verse 1
Didn’t know how cold I’d feel
When you walked away
Didn’t know how long it’d take
When you fell away
I didn’t cry , You didn’t call , I didn’t say a thing ,
You didn’t cry , I didn’t call , We didn’t say a thing
Chorus 1
We just blew away
We just blew away
We just blew
Verse 2
Didn’t know how calm I’d feel
When you looked away
Can’t see how you’ve strayed
When the hunter turns to prey
I didn’t cry , You didn’t call, we didn’t say a thing
You didn’t cry, I didn’t call , We didn’t say a thing
Chorus 1
We just blew away
We just blew
We just blew away
BRIDGE
Does time heal
Do wounds scar - the mind games the clock ticks
And when the truths revealed
Will it drive the heart too far
Chorus 3
Till we just blow away
Till we just blow away
Till we just blow
We just blow away
OUTRO
Till we just blow <repeats>

Dangerous Dreams

Verse 1
I think of you daily
Wonder where you’d be
Never knew the hole you would leave
No, nobody told me
Da da da da da da da da da
Verse 2
Favourite color baby step, Your soft hands moves alongside mine
Cold time reminds us, how my lawful crime will bind
Oooooooooo
Chorus 1
Dangerous Dreams keep me there
Sweet home now smells more like fear
One look, one touch, one breath
One chance , One life , One Death
Verse 3
Imaginations the cancer, feeding
Weighs down on me
A love buried so deep down
I hear the death toll sound in threes
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Chorus 2
Dangerous Dreams keep me there
Sweet home now smells more like fear
One day one night one breath
One chance , One life , One Death
OURTO
Don’t Keep me here I’m just falling, falling down

Oooooooooooooo
Dangerous Dreams Keep me here
Don’t Keep me here I’m just falling, falling down.

Red Rose
Music and Lyrics by Kate Owen
Verse 1
First time you saw me
I was looking down
Second time I saw you
You were wearing a frown
So I opened the door
Let you inside
Your eyes opened
What a surprise
CHORUS 1
Why does the sun shine when you touch me
I don’t even know your game
It’s just another red rose
It’s just another red rose
Verse 2
When you finally wake
I’m just a friend
And all you spoke of
Last night was pretend
So I make tea
One for you one for me
Two hearts wanting more
Petals all over the floor
CHORUS 2
Why does the sun shine when you touch me
I don’t even know your game
It’s just another red rose
It’s just another red rose
BRIDGE
But by any other name
His thorns they always draw blood
You smell like shame
With this blood thirsty Love
OUTRO
It’s just another red rose <repeats>

Ask The Stars
Music and Lyrics by Kate Owen
VERSE 1
People say they can remember her smile
I can only remember her tears
And the days she would disappear
Leaving me standing there
She left me asking the stars
CHORUS 1
Who will hold me now
Who
Who will hold me now
Verse 2
Nights can be long when your waiting for lights
To drive to the top and kiss me goodnight
But they never come and I stay wide awake
They left me asking the stars
CHORUS 2
Who will hold me now
Who
Who will hold me now
VERSE 3
You told me you loved me for so long
Now your just happy I’m all alone
Then you turned like a jeckle child love turns to lust
Of the lonely kind, of the loneliest kind
He left me asking the stars
CHORUS 3
Who will hold me now
Who
Who will hold me now

Clean
Music and Lyrics by Kate Owen
VERSE 1
I’m just a child waiting for her mother
I’m a great grandfather remembering his lover
She’s just a girl who dreams of a house and picket fences
He bruised and broken his life’s as a battle in the trenches
CHORUS 1
All of us fools
Looking for the truth
Drowning in lies
Wash me Clean
VERSE 2
She drowned all her sorrow in a sea full of glass
While he dragged his rainbow backwards through the mud
She looked high and low for love in the strangest of places
While he scored back ally highs and duels at 10 paces
CHORUS 2
All of us fools
Looking for the truth
Drowning in lies
Wash me Clean
VERSE 3
She’s seen the catholic girls waiting for redemption
He’s kicking off his shoes and dancing in detention
She’s a freedom fighter one day she’ll save the world
Until she realizes she’s not a man not a man, just a god
CHORUS 3
All of us fools
Looking for the truth
Drowning in lies
Wash me Clean
Wash me Clean
CHORUS 4
All of us fools
Looking for the truth
Drowning in lies
Wash me Clean
Wash me Clean
