The Jackal
Verse 1
Took the truth for granted
Like the sun
Night will come
The jackal always runs
Mmmmmm
Verse 2
Scavenging for flesh
Beneath the skin
For our sins
The jackal always wins
Mmmmmm
Chorus
Burn your fingers on the sun
Speak the truth for no one
The jackal always runs
The jackal aways runs
Verse 3
Avoiding peoples glances
with his eyes
not taking sides
The jackal always hides
Mmmmmm
Chorus
Reprise
Took the truth for granted
Like the sun
Night will come
The jackal always runs

Little Pieces
A bed on wheels
Not travelling today
Light in the frame
Tells me someone’s one their way
He brings spheres of comfort
In a paper cup
That marks the start of my
Ironic getting up
The breakfast arrives
Cold and dry
And cut in little pieces
I focus on the
pictures on the wall
When the emptying is done
Perhaps someone will call
Hear their hushed tones
Behind the hollow door
So much hides in plain sight
In the bright lit corridor
A plate arrives, something
I don’t like
Cut in little pieces
The life I left behind
My living education
Never got me ready
For this strange incarceration
My mind is let down
By a body I can’t trust
I’ve been here a while
Still I can’t adjust
The balance of my life
Are tasteless and bland
Routine in one room
Basic needs at my command
Dinner tray arrives
Unidentified
And cut in little pieces
Fragments of a life
In tiny little pieces

It would be easier to miss you if you’d died
CHORUS (Short)
It would be easier to miss you
If you’d died
The way you left me
damaged my pride
You couldn’t possibly
Be happy
Without my awesomeness
If would be easier to miss you
If you’d died
V1
In those angry moments
When you’re dead to me
I daydream what I’d say
When I visit your grave
And the ghost of you
Couldn’t turn me away
Stop avoiding places
Where we used to meet
Not ashamed to say hi
It would be ok to cry
They would smile at me
And look me in the eye
It would be easier to miss you
If you’d died
CHORUS (extended)
It would be easier to miss you
If you’d died
The way you left me
damaged my pride
You couldn’t possibly be happy
Without my awesomeness
Wonder if you’re laughing
if you miss me too
On the other side
If would be easier to miss you
If you’d died
V2
We’re no longer sharing
cos I’m dead to you
is my courage hard to see
when you watch me on the screen
only one of us
has followed the dream
for a while I was hoping
you were suffering
I remember all the times
You helped me amplify
So I’m crying out
I’m glad you are alive
It would be easier to miss you
If you’d died
CHORUS (extended)
