Message 05:45
Message By Amy McKnight You wrote me a message and it changed the way I feel And sent me straight back three months ago Darlin if I were you, I would leave this alone, Darlin if you were me, you’d know just what I want. So buy a ticket so you can say that it’s yours, I don’t want to spend my money on you. And you can take your pretty eyes off mine, Cos I can’t do this anymore.

Dusty Soul 04:24
Dusty Soul By Amy McKnight She had a dusty soul The windows to it a storm Untethered, Volatile Stare you down with her words Cruel like the butcher Quite like the butcher bird Kickin eggs from the nest Not like I heard it for the first time If it’s like an overreaction I’m reacting to you I take defensive action when you’re acting cruel While testing waters all round Including mutual friends You set a snare there and sat on advantageous ground Quiet like the hunter… Quite like you’re hunting birds Pick ‘em off as they pass Not like you’ll find the golden girl there You’re surprised I’m offended that you don’t mind me shared I’m surprised I’m still listening to your nonsense instead You, were my only one Nothing before Could ever compare At all Through each second I fall I have been here Cold to the core Not yours And how Can I find a home?

It takes much longer By Amy McKnight It takes much much longer To sew the stitches together Than it does to tear them apart And it takes much longer To put yourself back together Than it does to fall apart When you start to see things as they are As the veil descends All the faults are much much more obvious As the veil ascends All the faults are much much more acceptable And it takes much much longer to put yourself back together

Old Story 03:56
Old Story By Amy McKnight I’ll tell you a story that’s old It’s been passed down, re-retold There’s lots been lost along the way But it’s a good story anyway Picture a rock beside a road That winds down to a harbour and a boat Don’t get carried away while I sing You see this rock was an important thing Picture your home as a doll house Peer in at your stuff while you’re out Through tiny windows you’ll see How obsessed with ourselves we can be When you’re alone with your thoughts You know what to do Look inwards on yourself And the truth looks back at you Be honest in all that you do And remember to enjoy doing it too I’ll tell you a story that’s old It’s been passed down, re-retold There’s lots been lost along the way But it’s a good story anyway

The Captain 04:54
The Captain By Amy McKnight Throw me a barrel Lend me a ladder I am the sailor, you were the Captain If you were the seagull I am the wave That catches your wing Crest of your curve I am the ripple that lapped at the foot of your bay I’ve not forgotten all that you got I will not forget you Not on the surface, not underneath I’ve not forgotten all that you got Woke up on dawn It’s salty eye morning I am the rope, you were the mooring If you’re the coordinates I am the map Lake by a Mountain, Son of a Knight I have ensured your way as well as I can I’ve not forgotten all that you got I will not forget you Not on the surface, not underneath I’ve not forgotten all that you got Like a rudder that slices thick winter ices Oceans we sailed Breaths that were held Well you were the morning light of my sun Orbit refracted, angle and axis Deeply reflected through the atmosphere

Falling 06:07
Falling By Amy McKnight Just like a child walking I find myself fall, fall, falling all around you I ask myself just one, one question worth asking And I hold it on my tongue Just like somethin’ feline, I find myself creep, creepin round Around corners after you I’ve got no reason or motivation, determination to talk this through Take another look at the woman you thought you knew Call it what you will, call it what you, what you will
7.
True and Blue By Amy Mcknight Workin’ on some cover songs Workin’ on the crowd See I like to sing it true and blue, but that seems to get to you I’m sorry if I bring you down Tied my days in a knot in a spell Awake, sleep feels, like the same like a drink like a dream Like unreal I’m sorry if I bring you down Fought myself into peace or at least The closest it’s been In an inconvenient space, with walls all over the place Why can’t you tear them down?
8.
Fisherman 04:16
Fisherman By Amy McKnight There was a man you know He walked upon the shore His hut, his home nearby Built well above the tide He’d fish from cliffs up high Watching where the fishes hide Take only what he’d eat And set the others free He lost his coat in the rain And one by one his shoes the same He was so lonely on his own His thoughts muddied by his pain Her image muddy in his brain Salt, salt, salt will rust your bones It’s been many years since he found her body on the sand And it won’t, won’t won’t be something he can easily leave behind He followed his bait in Dove underwater then Looked around to see The fishes he’d set free Come swim below said they, let’s go deep and far away Darkness closed around him and the current rocked him gently
9.
Human Companion By Amy McKnight A human companion A woman of wings Rhythm in ankles Pace swift and clean Earth bound and ground down My sweetheart, they hurt you Just let me mend it Patience made worthwhile I could not fix it I could not force it The ones who fall on solid ground The ones who fall between the thorns The ones who get their roots in deep Will be judged accordingly
10.
In your Grasp By Amy McKnight On each finger you balance a ball Symbolic of worries and stresses and all Your only task is to keep them above The floor of broken glass you’re standing on You had it all in your grasp you think You better open your eyes quick Spent too long watching the one that dropped The rest of them followed It couldn’t be stopped
11.
God I’m Afraid By Amy McKnight God, I’m afraid, down to my bones Of what’s to come And God I must say, I’m sorry for the way in which we Messed it up You get a gold coin and you call it your own You get a gold coin You get a cold stone and you call it your own But it was never yours to start with God I must say, It’s a sad sad day When politics align with books that were written by men from a time with no context to mine You get the highest bidder and then you run You get the highest bid for you You’d sell your own daughter and call it custom I start I start I talk to you Or I might just talk to me It doesn’t seem to bother me As long as we are listening
