You take the dark, while I take the night
Living two worlds that I don't want to fight
Here I stand in front of you
My bruises shining bright
I'm facing down a hurricane
That I've got no will to fight
You don't have to breathe it in
You don't have to breathe it in, so don't
You take the left, and I take your side
Bridging two worlds that I don't want to fight
Here you stand in front of me
Your bruises shining bright
You're chasing down a hurricane
That you've lost the will to fight
You don't have to breathe it in
You don't have to breathe it in, so don't
You don't have to breathe it in
You don't have to breathe it in, so don't you
So don't, so don't you
So don't, so don't you try

Holding my breath I look for the one who'll take me down here
Leading the way, I hate to live in anger here by your side
Caught in this web
Trying to catch this beauty in my mouth
Learning to speak
Holding the weight of the world in my
Hands tied with lead
I lose my mind caught in rivers so blue
Speaking your name
Won't stop my mind from falling out from your bed
Caught in this web
Trying to taste this beauty in my mouth
Learning to speak
Holding the weight of the world in my
Hands, in my hands
I fall, waiting
Caught in this web
Trying to catch this beauty in my mouth
Learning to speak
Holding the weight of the world in my
Hands, in my hands
I fall

Feels Like Home

It's all in the way he moves me
I'm safe in the strength he shows me
How I am home again
Your touch brings me home again
Losing my way I falter
Get lost in yesterday, but older
Now, I am home again
Your touch brings me home again
And he peels back the scars from my sleeve
To show me the bravest heart that he's ever seen
And though I navigate from the darkest skies
One kiss keeps me tethered to the light
It feels like home
Lying with you I'm warmed by
The light that filters through so hold me close
I am home again
Your touch feels like home again
And he peels back the scars from my sleeve
To show me the bravest heart that he's ever seen
And though I navigate through the darkest skies
One kiss keeps me tethered to the light
Tonight
It's all in the way that he moves me

Always Making Promises
03:21

Running out of fairytales I put my faith in you
Skipping over words unspoken I'm singing nothing new
Wrap myself in blankets of the lies I weave so well
Of this picture perfect life that near damned us straight to hell
And I'm always making promises to you
And I'm always making plans
I'm holding on to what we had
Because what we had is good enough to last
So what if all these memories are not quite as they seem
And this life I write of is no technicolour dream
In looking out for you I think I've found out what is me
Broke the mirror in to pieces just so I can breathe
And I'm always making promises to you
And I'm always making plans
I'm holding on to what we had
Because what we had is good enough to last
And I'm sick of making promises to you
And I'm done with making plans
I'm still holding on to what we had
Because what we had is good enough to last
But I'm still here making promises to you
And I'm still here making plans
I'm still holding on to what we had
Cut what we had is good enough to last

Rai Waddingham Loughborough, UK
Emotive and enchanting acoustic tunes from a singer songwriter who can make painful realities into something quite beautiful.
Rai Waddingham recommends:
I've loved Chris' stuff for a while, but there's something really spectacular about Wayward Fires. There's a searing honesty about it - esp in the track Eschew which made cry (in a good way)

Idiopath
by Kenton Hall & The Necessary Measures
Idiopath is immense - both in size and scope. It has some beautifully tender moments, sitting perfectly alongside songs that get me moving. Oh, and he was kind enough to let me contribute to Omniopath
