Who is Allister Reynolds?

In the dark

She was alone

walking from the dock to the water

and i was standing, arms crossed

lips sealed

brushing leaves and spiderwebs from my hair

i was standing there

with wander and wonder and fate in my head

and although i was living, breathing, i was dead to the earth

i was just another soul searching

learching

leaching

pining for rebirth

arent we all?

Oh arent we all?

and when we fall, we fall

all and all down to the fallen sticks and leaves

and tricks and trickery

Her beauty was sickening

as she stopped and stepped and jumped and leaped from the dock

and in shock,

to my amaze

she walked the water

Skyline

There was a time when you were my muse

and i would use and abuse you

but now i'm locked up tight

and i dont want to lose you

because i let the truth fall out my lips

and i told you all i felt

but my feelings change so much

and so damn often

that when i knelt and belted out my tongue

i sure as hell was wrong you're not the only one

straighten up the picture

there's a girl there in new york city

waiting

hands and feet

demands meet

and my heart skips a beat

pink drinks and a taste for adventure

she wasn't the one and i knew it

Breath

The mountains called our name

so we went

and the ocean tides all came in

so we wept

and slept in each others arms

the sky was good at saying goodbye

and the seas were well at keeping wet our knees

so please

please

be my disease

i couldn't breathe

without a cigarette that night

and every time i tried to make it right

i only walked away

i had nothing to say

and she didn't say a thing either

but its what she didn't say she said

and i believe her

we kept our secrets in our chest

and i kept my questions to themselves

but we were nothing

Wish

You kept me under your arms

and held me close to your skin

all i wanted was to escape

and let myself free

but you were there

holding me

what was i supposed to be?

who was i supposed to be?

so i walked around my small town

and i found me a friend

i found me somebody

that i could rely

and i found me a new love

that i could keep up all night

but my words changed

so colorless and strange

my speech shifted

and it wasnt what you wished ed

Kisses

You were there

and i should be sleeping

i should have been sleeping, weeping

and keeping faith

I was a waste

all i wanted was a taste of enlightenment

but you heightened it

and i was frightened by it

i was too afraid to try it

but you kept me up all night

and all i wanted was a kiss

guardians

you made me feel tall and that was all that i could see you for

so i broke and i cried and i died enough for two that day

way home, so cold, so gone. As you know now so alone

if the chance was never made and i could have saved you from the pain

who am i? a man with only plans and aspirations

i've got intentions to leave before i remain

i've got your soft skin to climb and kiss

feet step the pavement patio, earth

you dragged me behind. i was left to the wind questioning worth

the first kiss worthless compared to the last one

tears and pinched cheeks i was weak and thinking of the weekend

night pulled the nightcap up. stars and cars and drinks and drug

we were in the middle we were making love

that's when you left for the Midwest

and i was left to my knees dreaming

reeling, revealing the road

it was cold, i didn't care

i just watched your hair, golden soft and blowing in the wind

i've got intentions to leave before i remain

i've got your soft skin to climb and kiss

English

You've had a bit to drink

and i know you have

because that's not the way you laugh....

your character is nervous

and i can see it in your eyes

you are too

me,

drink in hand

conversations

covering demand

and i cant find words like i planned

and laugh away your past

and i'll laugh away mine

if only you can give me time

to search for words

we were little kids

wrapped up in apartment beds

and we didn't know a thing

i didn't hear a word you said

and we were Eskimos

building homes out of snow

and i couldn't bring you home

to my parents home

you were fast asleep

you were rolling in the sheets

and i was out all night

tryna find the words to speak

but that was years ago

and i still have a lot to go

oh so many things to know

about you
