lyrics

Cleverly concealed
Spin 'round those eyes
Describe what you find
Every lie revealed
Raped of all rights
Lost and deprived
Left alone to heal
Child traumatised
Cast out from the light
A mask that starts to peel
Triggering her ploy
To sabotage and destroy


Her heart it never breaks
She just runs away

Spreading like a germ
Enclosed in a frame
Identity chained
Not even she discerns
Mind in a maze
Chameleon's slave
Induced into her words
No one remains
Within her refrain
A tongue that sounds absurd
To earnest ears of ignorance
Her motive is blurred

This girl don't know her place
She just runs away

Hold on
Measure your haste lover
It'll drill you down to your grave
Is that where you really want to spend your days

Heaven help her now
Sways with the trees
Impetuously
Jesus hold her down
Cloaked with defeat
Split at the seams
Cumbrous crown of doubt
Journal of dreams
Washed out to sea
And I tried to pull her out
The hounds they claimed her soul
From under my nose

The girl without a face
Who just runs away
Composed with all her pain
She just runs away

about

James Teague Melbourne, Australia

...his music is as complex as the self; one moment whimsical and dreamy, with shades of 60s psychedelia and 70s progressive folk – the next, they’re wrought with mortal gloom and adorned with hints of jazz and howling blues. It’s difficult to describe Teague’s style, but it usually consists of unpredictable melodies that stray, intricate, dynamic arrangements and a soaring, vocal tremolo. ... more
