Cover your lips before you dare to speak..
those words to everybody you meet
keep your songs locked away tight…
in a closed space within your Heart out of sight

While the keeper of the keys runs free
While the keeper of the keys goes free

Won’t you Break my Shackles
Won’t you Open the shackles
You are still in shackles

Take your dreams and set them free,
Unlocking minds begin to see
I dream of hands without these bonds
Send them up in smoke and wait for response

You see me… You know me the cage of everyone
There’s no one to hear you The future we had was gone

Trapped like a bird locked in a cage
Wasted years and full of rage

Illusion, delusion In the Cage of everyone

2You speak out, You lose out It’s the key to every rhyme
You Break me, You tame me A cage within my mind

With nobody here to hear my screams
I let you inside of my heart and dreams

You tell me, I follow.. and then my will has gone.
Dishonest, denial The cage of everyone
You’ll use me, you’ll hold me… Until All I had was gone

Drifting out lost at Sea, There’s nothing home for me
I’m Locked within a cage created in my mind
Living out my dreams but nothing sets me free
These Chains of Steel tightly which bind Blind

Verse 1 but with this Trapped like a bird locked in a cage
Wasted time and full of rage

Then use it against me to keep me in a spell
I lost you, I loved you Until I’m just a shell

With nobody here to hear my screams
I let you inside of my heart and dreams

I lost you.. I loved you until my will has gone
I loved you, I lost you and now my will is gone

Crimson Sunset (4th Eden and Stargrace)
oooh... I feel your light, Bitter sweet memory's
Breathing deeper down... Seeing the wider picture
Lie back.... Watching the crimson sunset reflecting on the glass I drink
Close your eyes... Bitter sweet love buzz
And if shadows lay ahead...... I was much too high to see
I'll follow you..... even though you whispered to me the darkest promise (blinded, willing I go with you into the darkness)
And as the sunset turned to stars I felt the soft sand beneath my feet
Feel the rush of the tide against my body
Can you feel my racing breath in the midnight stillness?
close your eyes..........bitter sweet love buzz

Get back on the Right Side

Chorus
AAHH.. Wont you Tell me who you really are..
AAHH… Won’t you Tell me what you really want…
Verse 1
It’s like this.. The unknown.. Waiting Game.. all Over Blown..
Just beyond my fingertips.. Happiness.. from sugar lips..
Accelerate to a better place.. No more talk.. Cut to the chase
Been through too much.. to let it go.. Decision time, just let me know.
How can I get through to you?

That’s what you do, You drag your feet, What do you want. What do you need..
We’ve got the World at our Fingertips.. We could be running wild over the blips
Why let it slide.. to a dark place.. All that’s past.. Just gone to waste
We lit the Fire.. Lets make it roar.. Lets make it burn.. Its now our turn
How can I get through to you?

Verse 2
I’ll Show you.. Just what you need.. Its up to you.. because Your free.
No holding back.. Over what’s gone.. Those Memories already done..
Waste no more time… Just let it go.. Love gone to waste.. Nothing to show
Live out our dreams.. That we once knew.. The Futures here.. Another avenue.
How can I get through to you?

What do you think you’re doing, Don’t you waste my time..
Get back on my Right Side
Where do you think you’re going.. Don’t you waste my time
Get back on my right side.

Lyrics (Jaime Webb Ross)
The In Between
No longer here
No longer there
You walk along
Though not sure where
Inside a world
You've never seen
Your new found home
Of in between
Where rules have changed
You try to learn
Which bridge to cross
Which bridge to burn
Where all you knew
No longer fits
A whole new world
Inside exists
Who can you trust
What will they say
To try to make you
Walk their way
You learn to read
Between the lines
The words not said
The strongest kind
Listen to
Your inner voice
Trust yourself
To make your choice
Continue on
Find strength within
Embrace the "new"
You're living in
Jaime

Unspoken Whispers

Feel this moment……. of stillness……….
enfold me….
Close my eyes tight………..
but I still feel your stare…..
into my heart x2

I’ll cry to you this longing
I’ll cry this longing

Deep within…
This dark trap….
I’ll come to you….
With my eyes closed tight…

Middle part

To the darkness and the darkest place
I’ll come to you..
You burned my tears dry and silenced my sighs…
Coming back feeling full again…
In the.. darkest place…
Never to…..
Silence my sighs…
I tremble….. in this moment…
Feel… ooooooooh

Shores of Possibility

I lie on shores of possibility
My mind a whim of unknown symmetry
The thoughts I have are like fish in the sea
The many out there are the mirrors in me

Am I mad or am I insane
Is it just a trick within my brain?
Continues dream that shows no end
Scary mirrors show a different man

Insane dreams devour my being inside
The truth I know hurts more than lies
Life is the Atom, the Atom is me
I lie on Shores of possibility]]> Hope you enjoy this as I've enjoyed revisiting and making this one :)

Leave behind your tears
Lay down all your burdens
The Dawn Awakens
Float away on a rainbow

We take no prisoners
A quest for destiny
This day is History

Crimson Sunset
oooh... I feel your light, Bitter sweet memory's
Breathing deeper down... Seeing the wider picture
Lie back.... Watching the crimson sunset reflecting on the glass I drink
Close your eyes... Bitter sweet love buzz
And if shadows lay ahead...... I was much too high to see
I'll follow you..... even though you whispered to me the darkest promise (blinded, willing I go into the darkness)
And as the sunset turned to stars I felt the soft sand beneath my feet
Feel the rush of the tide against my body
Can you feel my racing breath in the midnight stillness?
close your eyes..........bitter sweet love buzz

When Martin told me the title I felt inspired to write about my Auntie jill who had sadly passed away at only 42. She was a talented singer and she would always take the time to support my music. I go on now and still think of her as watching over me wherever she may be
I had a strange experience on the night she died. I felt her presence as if she had come to say goodbye, I couldn't explain it at all...
