He’s facing up to a lot
these past few years
So much he’s gone through
shedding waterless tears
(Chorus)
Like a cold blade
striking through his heart
He’s facing the cold hard
truth of being so far apart
So he sits alone fretting
about his life
All the mistakes he’s made
and all the times he’s tried
(Chorus)
Like a cold blade
striking through his heart
He’s facing the cold hard
truth of being so far apart
Half way through his lifespan
he now is and nothing to show
He knows how he’ll end up
Like his father he now knows
(Chorus)
Like a cold blade
striking through his heart
He’s facing the cold hard
truth of being so far apart
No matter how hard he tries
there seems to be no escape
His life seems to be over
before it’s even begun, this his fate
(Chorus)
Like a cold blade
striking through his heart
He’s facing the cold hard
truth of being so far apart
A glimmer of hope burns
though inside of him always
For without that little candle
burning, he’d have darker days

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
