The Messenger

Lyrics by Donna Lewis

​

oh I didnʼt expect you

I didnʼt invite you in

 

oh is it because I missed you

left you waiting where no roads go

 

why have you come to me

how do i get you to leave

so Iʼm free

 

too many to do lists where is the joy

Iʼm out of balance

forever annoyed with myself

I let it happen

 

I say what i feel from my gut

from my dreams

in my meditation emotional patterns release

I make that happen

 

why have you come to me

how do i get you to leave

so iʼm free

 

you are you are you are 

you are the messenger

you are you are you are 

you are the messenger

 

say what you want

you are the messenger

you are the negative

but only the messenger

loaded with sleep

bring on the messenger

under the heavy white

layers

 

bring it on

bring it on

bring it on

 

why have you come to me

how do i get you to leave

 

why have you come to me

how do I get you to leave

 

youʼre only the messenger

how do i get you to leave

to leave

Corridors

Lyrics by Donna Lewis

​

the room on the left

is where I lay out my right arm for you

 

uncross my legs

gonna wrap me up like you always do

 

what you gonna do for the rest of the day you ask

give me a room with a view of the river

and I say which way

is the corridor of foreign territory

to a room with a view of the river

 

Eileen is my girl

Eileen is my girl

Eileen is my girl

 

the room on the right

is where I hang up my clothes to dry

 

under the light

lay your hands on me like you always do

 

which way

to a room with a view of the river

which way

to a room with a view of the river

 

Eileen is my girl

Eileen is my girl

Eileen is my girl

The Mark

Lyrics by Donna Lewis

​

you map me out

so carefully

connecting to the core

 

line me up

spread my wings

I can do it

give me something to hold tight

tell me when

tell me when I can breathe out

 

trace the flow of my body

leave your mark

but donʼt leave me

tell me when

tell me when I can breathe out

 

pin point the distance

pin point the wavebands

move my head in the right direction

everything in true perfection

 

line me up

spread my wings

I can do it

give me something to hold tight

tell me when

tell me when I can breathe out

 

trace the flow of my body

leave your mark

but donʼt leave me

tell me when

tell me when I can breathe out

 

sounds to words

thereʼs a white light somewhere

sounds to words

deep breath red light on

 

sounds to words

thereʼs a white light somewhere

sounds to words

deep breath red light on 

 

line me up

spread my wings i can do it

i can do it

leave your mark

 

line me up

spread my wings i can do it

i can do it

leave your mark

but donʼt leave me

 

line me up

spread my wings i can do it

give me something to hold tight

tell me when

tell me when I can breathe out

I can breathe out

The Imposter

Lyrics by Donna Lewis

​

thank you for making me feel brave

when I didnʼt feel brave

cos' I never want to be at war

with my body again

thank you for activating

my gratitude

cos' I never want to be at war

with my body again

 

room 12

black and white

spreading out

plug me in

 

room 6

full of light

steady murmur

absorbing

destroying

 

room 9

touch and press

drift and float

lost and suspending

 

thank you for making me feel brave

when I didnʼt feel brave

cos' I never want to be at war

with my body again

thank you for activating

my gratitude

cos' I never want to be at war

with my body again

 

room 21

itʼs not the first

intolerance

raw and torn

 

room 9

once again

do it right

lose the frequency

 

thank you for making me feel brave

when I didnʼt feel brave

cos' I never want to be at war

with my body again

thank you for activating

my gratitude

cos' I never want to be at war

with my body again

 

Iʼm not alone now

got my feet in the sand now

nothings getting in the way now

heading down the mountain now

 

thank you for making me feel brave

when I didnʼt feel brave

cos' I never want to be at war

with my body again

thank you for activating

my gratitude

cos' I never want to be at war

with my body again

 

thank you for making me feel brave

when I didnʼt feel brave

cos' I never want to be at war

with my body again

thank you for activating

my gratitude

cos' I never want to be at war

with my body again

Rooms With A View

Lyrics by Donna Lewis

​

itʼs a long way to go

you carry my bag down the corridor

I donʼt know where I am today

when anxiety steps in to play

will I be ok

 

I hear my name

as I walk around

I want Eileen with the gentle hands

warm me up so there's no pain

till I feel the ice kiss my brain

Iʼll be ok

 

you see it all

holding space for us all

you can get lost inside this room

itʼs just a room with a view

for me and you

 

itʼs a long way to go

tell me a story

one I donʼt know

I donʼt know who I am today

whatʼs your dream what you gonna say

youʼll be ok

 

you see it all

holding space for us all

you can get lost inside this room

itʼs just a room with a view

for me and you

 

its another room with a view

itʼs just a room with a view

hereʼs to 2022

to all the rooms with a view

Tell Me A Story

Lyrics by Donna Lewis

​

hello

how are you

Iʼm fine

 

tell me a story

tell me a story

tell me a story

to take my mind elsewhere

tell me a story

 

tell me a story

tell me a story

we've only got 5 minutes

to get there

Get there

 

slowly

slowly

slowly

 

I donʼt wanna feel

I donʼt wanna feel 

I donʼt wanna feel

I donʼt wanna feel

 

tell me a story

to take my mind elsewhere

tell me a story

tell me a story

tell me a story

to take my mind elsewhere

tell me a story

tell me a story

we only have 5 minutes

to get there

get there

 

under the skin

5 minutes to spare

 

keep the pressure

tell me a story

keep it constant

keep it constant

Yeah

 

tell me a story

we only have 5 minutes

to get there

keep the pressure on

keep the pressure on

Headlights

Lyrics by Donna Lewis

​

here comes the water

no no

knee deep in water

no no

the shock of the water

pulls me

I see

 

headlights and I donʼt care

lay me down 

and leave me there

let the flames warm all of me

headlights and I donʼt care

lay me down

and leave me there

swimming almost vertically

 

under the water

when the shaking stops

deep in the water

reaching out

I dream that iʼm walking

to the glass house

I see

​

headlights and I donʼt care

lay me down

and leave me there

let the flames warm all of me

headlights and I donʼt care

lay me down 

and leave me there

swimming almost vertically

 

wrap yourself around me now

wrap yourself around me now

wrap yourself around me now

wrap yourself

 

something that won't last

something that won't last

I see 

 

headlights and I donʼt care

lay me down

and leave me there

let the flames warm all of me

headlights and I donʼt care

lay me down

and leave me there

swimming almost vertically

​

headlights and I don't care

and leave me there

let the flames warm all of me

 

I have been given something

leave me there

swimming almost vertically

headlights and I don't care

leave me there

swimming almost vertically

Angel In Combat Boots

Lyrics by Pamela Sue Mann

​

we occupy a vacancy

vacantly didnʼt see

preaching to the chorus

avoiding the eyes of the other side

people die surprised

 

I need a cigarette and a change of scene

angel beware itʼs your turn

for skin and teeth and bone

Angel beware of greater things

 

things like truth

rings like truth

whatever it is

sing me an angel in combat boots

 

angel beware of greater things

things like truth

whatever it is

sing me an angel in combat boots

 

angel beware of greater things

things like truth

rings like truth

whatever it is

 

sing me an angel in combat boots

angel beware of greater things

 

sing me an angel in combat boots

angel beware of greater things

sing me an angel in combat boots

 

sing me an angel in combat boots

Masks

Lyrics by Donna Lewis

​

deep in the heavenly tree lined canals

I am floating

the voices own me running free

and they wonʼt let me go

Iʼm on the white ladder descending

silent and dreamless

but the voices own me running free

and they wonʼt let me go

 

take it away

take it all away

take it all away

take it all away

 

so many hands moving gently but fixing connections

Iʼm heavy as sand but I feel so thin and light

the blue stream continues to show them the way

and their voices still

hold me running free towards the light

 

take it away

take it all away

take it all away

take it all away

Roundabout

Lyrics by Donna Lewis

​

donʼt take me round about

donʼt take me round about

donʼt take me on a roundabout way

donʼt take me on a roundabout way

 

do we speak of things that matter

or just send a love note on its way

do we speak of things that matter

or let this love go

 

donʼt take me on a roundabout way

donʼt take me on a roundabout

donʼt take me on a roundabout

 

donʼt take me on a roundabout

do we speak of things that matter

 

donʼt take me on a roundabout

donʼt take me on a roundabout

way
