This is a song by the band  In Letter Form who released just two albums before the death of their frontman.

For me, some of their work initially seems quite derivative ( but that could just be down to age!), but, seeing beyond that, they definitely had an emerging voice of their own.

This track is Edison’s Medicine.

Enjoy.

Something

Well I was older

Than my days,

Playing out my time

In middle ground,

Living like a monk

Unholy days,

Checking off the hours

A voice without a sound.

 

You gave me something

On that we are agreed,

Gave me something real

And not something I need,

You showed me something

Yeah, opened up my eyes,

Showed me something real

Brighter than the skies.

 

Well I was younger

Than you knew,

Killing every second

Assassin’s eye,

Leaning from the edge

A life askew,

Safety’s middle ground

And comfort’s easy lie.

 

You gave me something

On that we are agreed,

Gave me something real

And not something I need,

You showed me something

Yeah, opened up my eyes,

Showed me something real

Brighter than the skies.

 

Well you were stronger

Than you knew,

Living in each moment

Open eye and heart,

Captured every image

Living in the new,

Never knew your power

A perfect work of Art.

 

You gave me something

On that we are agreed,

Gave me something real

And not something I need,

You showed me something

Yeah, opened up my eyes,

Showed me something real

Brighter than the skies.

Mermaid

Today I am a mermaid

My heart as open

As the ocean.

In sunlight’s silver shards

I dance and sing

To Neptune’s tune,

Through the sweet transparent brine

I twist and turn

No limits known,

Led by a rainbow ecstasy

My pleasures are

My only guide.

Today I am a mermaid,

Tomorrow I will be

A unicorn.

If

If I were taller

If I were bigger,

If I were stronger

If I were wiser,

If I were braver

Wore my heart on my sleeve,

If I were driven

By glory or greed,

If I could charm

The birds from the trees,

Then the one that you love

It wouldn’t be me.

Sleep Away

Let’s sleep away
These winter days
In dreamscapes
You and I,
And dance on air
Our wing beats sing
A soundscape
To our love,
As hand in hand
And eye in eye
We hold each
Other’s love,
And trust our dance
No other saw
The footprint
Of our love,
And should the demons rise
I’ll take you in my cloak
Keep you always safe and warm
And kiss away your pain,
So let us sleep
These winter days
In dreamscapes
You and I.

Predisposed to Sadness

Tags

Dressed in the finery of night

It’s chill embrace

Familiar

Like the comfort of

A threadbare coat

Collar high

An acknowledgement

Of sorts,

Submerged below

A sea of aural melancholy

It’s welcome waves whisper

Only to my ears

Sounds of contemplation

Tiny earthquakes which rumble

A stronger pulse within my veins,

And through the sunlight

The rains comes down

To drum upon my door,

And beyond the purple

Day-bruised clouds

I catch the kiss of light,

To ask if this is happiness

This yearning for the night

The beat perhaps askew

That fills me with delight.

 

Little Deaths

These hands

Complicit in the words

I write

The words

Which seem to hold the key

To me

The key

A lock that’s now forgot

In time

Forgot

The scars upon my heart

For you

My heart

I pour into these hands

Again

These hands

A party to our

Little deaths.
