Suffocated by silence in a room with no warmth
No gas or electric but everythings calm
Just riding the waves of a life of faith
Keeping eyes open for an opportunity to take

Taken with pride will even the sides
Taking it slow, im here for the ride
Breaking the lines and speeding the mind
incredible substance, incredible times

Stories of legend in a book with no end
Is mine a tall tale or one for a friend
Fractions of fiction to complete the last page
career minded or just at the wrong age?

Peaceful moments appear when least expected
If you try too hard appearance becomes reckless
with reality distorted things aint so bad
so please take your time and don't be sad

Certificate U
Poem
Old lyric sheets
Autobiography

Found myself singing this to a tune that came out of nowhere - I love these words, they are lyrics, right? 'Suffocated by silence in a room with no warmth No gas or electric but everythings calm Just riding the waves of a life of faith Keeping eyes open for an opportunity to take' I've certainly been there before :) Also love the line 'Stories of legend in a book with no end'. There are many lines in this which just caught me, would love to hear it to music as I think you intended it! Well done, Will - this is great. Rachel xx

Hey up, Yeah it was originally a song, but I have no idea what the chords where, glad you like it though, I might see what I can come up with though and post it on youtube or something. Thanking you, you made me smile.
