A cloudy night
the night sky rolling and moving above
the earth slowly turning below
to look
into the stars and wonder
how small we are compared to this
how those everyday things mean nothing.
In reality,
the things we do, the things we say
they mean nothing really, nothing at all
for the world still turns regardless
of us
we, the tiny collective that is the human race
we're not important, the world still turns.
we're swept
on a tide of woeful imaginings
through a life we fill with fear and bitter contempt
yet above us, turns a cloud-filled
sky
and below us turns a planet we have ruined.
we drain the planet of it's lifeblood,
we tear apart
all that is good,
we fight wars which are not ours to fight
but which politician has seen a cloudy night?
Morning Glory
As the sun comes up behind the hill
the trees bow down in worship,
each tiny flower
nature's made
shows it beauty to the world.
the animals asleep in stalls
awake to a new dawn
and every
tiny little heart
is filled with glory at the morn.
the clouds so white up in the sky
break lazily apart
to
let the sunshine through their midst
and wake a million hearts.
Your side of the story.
you tell me you're afraid of death
yet you take that knife to your wrist.
what
did you think i could do?
do really think i can stop you?
well i can't i am not god.
you look at me like i'm
your idol
i am not though, i only human.
just like you and yet apart
i can't save you.
there's only you
that can do that
and i'll be here to watch your back
but i can't stop those fucking cuts
they are your problem,
not your life.
i love you, as a friend
but i can't save you
make this end
that's only you, only you can
stop,
until then my eyes i'll drop.
The elements
In the raindrops i see your face
in the winter wind i hear you
calling out my
name
asking me why
why did i have to go?
why couldn't i say good-bye
nothing could have changed it,
nothing
could have made it right.
now in the winter wind i howl
louder than the thunder in the sky
now in the rain
i stand alone and cry
nothing can diffuse the pain inside.
why did i have to go?
why couldn't i say good-bye
nothing could have changed it,
nothing could have made it right.
far up above the cloudless sky i hide
in
heaven or hell wherever you reside
it doesn't matter now because your gone
and i'm ashamed that i have been away so
long.
why did you have to go?
why couldn't you say good-bye
nothing could have changed it,
nothing could
have made it right.
my world
roaming through this world without meaning,
wishing for something to stop me from
cheating
myself out of my dreams and out of hope,
to help me to stop being such a dope.
yet nothing comes along
to save me
all meaning is lost as soon as i find it
so i stand here alone and look around me
at desolation, hatred
and death.
but still at the end there lies the light of hope
yet somehow still i can't stop myself being a dope
so i stand here alone and dream of a future
dream of a time when my smile isn't plastic.
of a play where i have
no need to be sarcastic
yet inside i know, that the place of my dreams isnt real,
because if it were i'd be able to
feel.
something or anything better than this
life would be brighter, a true piece of piss.
but dreams are
unrealistic
they are not for real
and though i wish they were, my friend,
they're not, so lets get just get real.
