In my blood
05:58
|
|||
|
You say this world is not for you,
a murder of crows to blind your eyes.
Everyone knows you are my muse,
its not the same without.
To kneel for you I tried,
the road I love is mine,
its in my blood
it sets me free
And I leave your heart instead of mine,
I wasn't there for you to know me,
to think I could change would be a lie,
your not the same without

Down song
06:32
|

|
Your comfort lives withinside you,
you know?
You need a reason to come out,
again,
You show me demons of you broken life,
I wish I could cut them out for you,
for you
You call me liar and smile,
set me up for a down,
Theres more than a way to be loved,
You set me up for a down,
Down
Down
Down....
The magic left with winters smile.
you know,
A dragons breath can leave you cold and more,
Pick up the pieces we might need again,
Might take forever and one day,
one day....
You call me liar and smile,
set me up for a down,
Theres more than a way to be loved,
You set me up for a down
Down...
Down...
Down, down?
Down...

Deepest Hole
03:13
|
|||
|
Here's the time,
all is never lost,
Find the grain,
then you try to ride,
...as you help yourself into the deepest hole
Feel the rain,
coming to your aid,
Winds of change,
save you from the grave,
...as you help yourself into the deepest hole
You wake in love,
the curse is always real,
Sealed in blood,
now you learn to feel
...as you help yourself into the deepest hole.

Not the one
04:10
|
|||
|
Wasted living dead,
alive by God's good grace,
Craving self destruct,
you've crossed the line,
You're fucked
(chorus)
I'am not the one you want,
Let go and face ny pain,
The world is on my wings,
Have it lay beneath my feet
Fallen laid to rest,
you're planning your last breath,
Facing you confront,
you're hanging on you're loved...

Seven years bad luck
04:50
|
|||
|
Last night let me down,
all I wanted was a piece of your soul,
under the water flow,
I want to be your world,
you can be the sun, the one that stay's,
only to blow me away!
Its everything, its everyone,
its all we do, its up to you,
to make it work, so far away,
its up to you , its up to me,
Have yourself some fun,
wish upon a stone, the living is real,
at the foot of the hill
seven years bad luck,
you held it in your hand and threw it away,
for another day
Its everything, its everyone,
its all we do, its up to you,
to make it work, so far away,
its up to you , its up to me,

African story
05:00
|
|||
|
I can see their thoughts,
I can see their fears.
Living on the Breadline heats my head.
As long as the king lives ,
we'll be alright.
It's a long time coming ,
African story you're the same.

Everything and nothing
03:37
|
|||
|
Everything has changed,
Since Thursday last,
when I was the sky.
Who could encumber me,
from your hinterland to the sea.
Everything and nothing has changed,,,,
Rainbow leaves,
they fall on me,
and cover black holes.
Who would uncover me ,knowingly,
and walk through winter with me?
Everything and nothing has changed

Higher place
04:45
|
|||
|
To bleed again with all my fears and the wars in my head,
With no quarter inside I pray the Lord to wash it away,
Who is this beast without a face who keeps me from the Devine,
the ground is sweet so pure and far
I've got to make what I find.
I'll pick you up I'll break you down,
take you to a higher place
I'll feel you high,
I'll let you stay, then break me,
to be replaced
I wake to find a seasons come, and gone without your embrace,
to kill a shadow with breath so foul, has drained the blood from your face
I'll pick you up I'll break you down,
take you to a higher place
I'll feel you high,
I'll let you stay, then break me,
to be replaced

Scars on my Guitar
05:39
|
|||
|
Many hands exchanged with a smile,
and the warmth at your fingers, and sometimes blood.
But its good to know you're mine,
its good to know, you're all mine.
and I see through the scars,
motion pictures yes they're sublime,
many friends with eyes of burning light,
spreading fire...keeping it alive,
keeping it alive
Take me again,
rushing down my spine,
|

Wish you well
05:46
|
|||
|
Its not the way, the way I wanted,
and I would save, whatever I could save,
if I had you, and I won't see you again.
...and i'am insane because you say so,
and the stain, you won't let go of the past,
Its not my game, I'll keep walking my shadow in-vain.
I wish you well, its the only way to say goodbye....
To the facts of cold hard stone, and a sign,
A sanctuary over the road, for me,
To see from my window......
I wish you well, its the only way to say goodbye...

Johnathan Martin Pretoria, South Africa
Born in 1977 in South Africa, to a musical family, Johnathan Martin started to picture himself as performing musician from the tender age of 10 tears old. Classical guitar, then piano, and finally getting his first Strat copy at 13 years old. Taking music as a subject at school put the cello in his hands, and learnt to really improv when he joined the full time touring band Jack Hammer in '97. ... more
Johnathan Martin recommends:
Its got that 'stab you in the heart' effect when you listen to it. It might even take a few listens to get that feeling, but believe me when it hits, you'll know my meaning and thank me!! enjoy!
