The sky is My emptied room. The room is My emptied car. The car is My open road. The road is My fixed beginning. The beginning is My shifting sky And I'm smiling.

My Shifting Sky
The man alone could barely see A path before my eye But pushed me ahead instead of Feet; force flicked into existence. Miles and miles of distance Set us apart from What we both wanted. Clubs clean from rosy cheek, Tears streak in retreat from Trapped nerves, in fleet of escape. And running makes the distance wider As they melt into puddles.

Running makes the distance wider
Ten men armed to the teeth You're menacing They close in and you feel The adrenaline One knocked cold by a jab of your shield The other impaled by the sword that you wield Two men charge either side You break them 5 men come in a row You're strengthening They close in And you feel the adrenaline One lunge One spear One catch He's near Come here, No fear And the crowd cheers Maaaarv, Marv, Marv, Marv Maaaarv, Marv, Marv, Marv. Another dead man Ten more lunges miss Blood sprays when a right hook hits One flung like rag doll Decorates the spikes on the wall You don't stall You make the rest fall No one lives You're bruised and you're nicked Your great chest heaves You breath in the crowd and leave For home You're never alone Except for nancy she's your queen And this is your century

Let's go
I'd hold you For a minute In silence Hearing all the Sentence Between us, Signing contracts For our futures Finding love in secret, Finding hope in seasons, Forward motions, Breathing, Picking up the pieces, Falling with a meaning And I'd do it again. I'd find you At your desk in heaven, Going through paper mountains, I'd invite you to climb All of the way up To find love in secret And hope in seasons, Forward motions, Breathing Picking up the pieces, Falling with a meaning And I'd do it again.

I'd do it again
I fell for you like leaves do, I bent for you like knees do, What could I do But leave you. Plans of mice and men, end, And we lose our way, And it hurts to care, Picking stars from the air. I played with you, I hid from you, I'll see you Dreaming.

Picking Stars
I'm like that puddle in the shade that's afraid to let the sun dry me up. I force walkers to play hopscotch as they trudge past. But I know the sun will find me and glare until there's nothing left to step in.

Puddle vs Sun
Father's bear lived in the shed hidden from his family, fed it when he had time off, all alone, secretly, One Tuesday, he had went away, his boy had crossed the garden and saw the bear, the bear saw him and he ran back home screaming. It was shame that stopped him from crying, telling anyone about the bear that's locked away. He didn't have the words to say... And then one night at feeding time Father had drank too much wine and had forgot to lock the door and left the bear wanting more... At 10pm the bear broke free and ate all of the family as we lay asleep in bed the hungry bear ripped off our heads. Why couldn't he get rid of it? It was very negligent. But what is worse is we all knew but didn't do what we had to do.

I see my gross reflection, It stares right back at me I think that I'm two people It doesn't think: it's me!
