Bright Neon Fencing - bridges are gone

02
Jun 2023

I published “bridges are gone”, as always you can listen to it on YouTube:

Looking at you
Dressed all black again
People think you’re mourning
I see them throwing glances

At us sitting here
Like an old married couple
Like we were destined to end up together
Funny how wrong they judge this scene

“Is it the truth?”
No words are spoken here
We talk with our eyes
Batting lashes once for question marks

Looking left means yes
For you at least when you look at me
For me it’s hard to tell
Am I allowed to leave now?

The ships have been burned
The bridges are gone
You can not go back
To where you came from

Bright Neon Fencing - Parting Gifts

07
Apr 2023

I published “Parting Gifts”, as always you can listen to it on YouTube:

I don’t know if I could
Be the one for you
I’d cross the ocean with you
Yet I am scared of forests
They are always so dark
But I’m a city boy
I need the lights at night
To feel I’m in control

I don’t know if I could
Be the one for you
Yet I could never leave you
Standing there alone
Oh, it’s a real pity
That our kisses don’t match
The expectations we set
Back when we swiped right

Leave me standing in the rain
And I will never love again
Is what you tell me smiling
As we’re waiting for the trains
That will end this night for us,
tearing us apart
Back to our distinct sides of town.

There’s hardly any meaning
Left in meeting new ones
It always ends up hurting
Yet I still keep wishing
To find someone who matches
Not only on the screen
A fucking connection
With no network link between

You and I we both know
This isn’t a game
Yet we’re following the rules
The platform has designed
For us to stay a little desperate
To finally find the one
We’ll be happy with for life
and delete this shitty app for

Leave me standing in the rain
And I will never love again
Is what you tell me smiling
As we’re waiting for the trains
That will end this night for us,
tearing us apart
Back to our distinct sides of town.

Bright Neon Fencing - Archers are Hunters are Lovers are Leavers

10
Feb 2023

I published “Archers are Hunters are Lovers are Leavers”, as always you can listen to it on YouTube:

Be careful out there
Always look back with one eye
Heed every step
Every sound
Every smile

Could be just a way
Of hunting you down
Putting in chains
What never
Should be caged

The archers are out there
looking for new prey
They keep uttering
they only mean well

Be careful out there
Always look for the archers
But don’t be to afraid
They’ll be gone by morning

Archers are hunters are lovers are leavers
Don’t underestimate their quiet demeanour
Archers are hunters are lovers are leavers
I know ‘cause I was one until I had seen her
Archers are hunters are lovers are leavers
Don’t underestimate their quiet demeanour
I know ‘cause I was one until I had seen her

Be careful out there
They’ll find you at night
They never miss
It’s a silent fight

Archers are hunters are lovers are leavers
Don’t underestimate their quiet demeanour
Archers are hunters are lovers are leavers
I know ‘cause I was one until I had seen her
Archers are hunters are lovers are leavers
Don’t underestimate their quiet demeanour
I know ‘cause I was one until I had seen her

Bright Neon Fencing - Fool

02
Dec 2022

I published “Fool”, as always you can listen to it on YouTube:

I took you out
I gave you promises
I didn’t keep my words
I made a fool
Of me

I miss your words
Your soothing afterthoughts
You never failed to make me love you more
I made a fool
Of me

We were in love
At least that’s my story
My vindication for this mess I made
I made a fool
Of me

You cut me lose
You took your freedom back
I never wanted us to end like that
I made a fool
Of me



I still remember the first time that I saw you
You were a rainbow after weeks of thunder
The brightness around you never stopped to amaze me
Yet I messed up and now here we are

This is a bit of pickle, I don’t quite know how to proceed
There were good times, at least on that we can both agree
But tonight I must go and never look back
For all of the colours have left you

There’s a good chance we’ll meet again
A few years from now when I’ll not be me and you’ll not be you
Not the same as we are tonight, parting
But different, grown, less likely to drain each other

When that day comes and your rainbow shines for me again
I will not make the same mistakes again
But tonight I must leave and never look back
For all the colors have left you
