EGG SHELLS
Whitmey/Footman
She’s nearly seven stone today Can’t you tell the extra weight? Nothing’s wrong, she’s in control She knows everything’s alright
He had a drink today
It’s ok, it’s past midday Nothing’s wrong, comfortably numb He knows everything’s alright
And then they weep,
And crumble to the floor
In too deep,
And everybody walks on egg shells
Taking on all their pain,
She knows that they’ll never change Nothing’s she can be strong
So it has to be alright
And then she weeps,
And crumbles to the floor
In too deep,
And everybody walks on egg shells
Just have to speak
A problem shared is a problem halved, A little win
Nobody has to walk on egg shells
Every time, I see you, I want to see you We’re not the only ones
We’re not the lonely ones

BROKEN OPEN
Footman/Whitmey/Ferro
Tonight I can taste the fear around me One bite is more deadly that the sun
Blood stained lips, opened mouth kiss x 2
Blame it on the Moon Blame it on the Stars Blaming all of you,
But I’m not blaming my heart
Playing with the Rules Playing with these Cards Play me for a fool
Can’t keep playing with my heart
Take away this love sick potion I’m ripped to shreds and all forgotten Rest my bones I’m Broken Open now.
Tonight, all this lust and fear surrounds me Your love, is the reason I’m undone Blood stained lips, opened mouth kiss x 2
Blame it on the Moon Blame it on the Stars Blaming’s gotta stop
Coz I’m blaming on my heart Playing with the Rules Playing with these Cards Play me for a fool
Can’t keep playing with my heart
Take away this love sick potion I’m ripped to shreds and all forgotten Rest my bones I’m Broken Open now.
*All the Queen’s horses, all the King’s men couldn’t put me back together. X 2

Torn By You

Torn By You E.Footman/M.Ferro
Always behaving, but not in control
If I open that door, it will never get closed Knitted together
But never sewn in
Others have lost, but the fight we can win
And you could be anywhere And I’d still the same
My heart’s beating for someone else But I’m Torn by You
Years have gone by and our memory fades You’ve had countless lovers and mine barely changed Collected our scars like an iron patch
Can’t help what we feel, but still we hold back
And you could be anywhere And I’d still the same
My heart’s beating for someone else But I’m Torn By You
I’m not alone
You’re surprised that you still fall for me And no-one knows
Fall a thousand times over for
You could be anywhere
And I’d still the same
My heart’s beating for someone else But I’m Torn By You

Dot to dot
E.Footman/Paolo Ruiu
Mind out = the storm Pressing the sun
Girls lost in masculine woods Twisted, twirled and pushed Heads turn
Clean designs of office scent Which stage of life presents this time?
Dots dots dots hold on Reaching, talking on
Real pixels of everyday life
Too small to be seen
Dots dots dots connecting these dots
Connecting, reaching, lost. We live on a pale blue dot
Men lost in feminine words, sucked, kicked punched Lost boys.
Dot to dot Heart to heart Lost in dots

HOME – EriKA
Erika Footman/Oliver Bailey
I love the city
You love the sea
I want to be near people Your isolated dreams
What life are we living? Who’s dreams did we steal? When will it begin?
I want to dance with the world Me and my big dreams
Could I imagine just me and the sky? Right now I’m just catching rain
Home is where the Heart is A building of bricks Can’t stop the storm Home is where the heart is So come place your lips Close to my own
You want to dive in I’ll dip my toe
I know I need to try Or I’ll never know
Sink into discomfort Pull myself out
I know that you’re ready All I need is time
Could I imagine just me and the sky? Right now I’m just catching rain
Home is where the Heart is A building of bricks Can’t stop the storm Home is where the heart is So come place your lips Close to my own
