I walked past your old road today And admittedly to me now it’s just a road, But do you remember the tapestry unfold? Remember the asphalt bubbling in sun, You made me feel like I could move a tonne Someone shouts at the sky, incantation of a bird, no wings though Only half promises and no shows I met god at the station - he asked me why I was late, Because I’m me, not you, this whole thing is a mere charade I met the devil on the train, He asked my why I don’t feel any pain - Because I’m me, not you, Flawed yes, but maybe my intentions are true I met my match at home and indulged in the quick risk of a half smoked spliff, She asked me why I couldn’t care, Because I’m me, not you, I’m half baked and I’m pretty much guaranteed to miss I met myself on the way out, Asked him why he’s such a ******* melt, Because I’m you, you’re me, We should probably stop living, In a forlorn fantasy

God at the station, devil on the train
Terminal 2 This one’s for you This is the third plane I’ve drowned on Since this new life came I know inertia should help but as horizon bends and tarmac is pushed away beneath steel wings, All I think Is even through the darkness, desolation, I’d still drink your libation, Yeah cool for the best but what if not, I want your well, not another flat pint of Amstel Your words were tall, but shorter than your lies, To be fair wouldn’t be like you to wonder why, Turns out, life’s hard to come by You always wanted my words, so heres some, long overdue, as I implode in terminal 2, Sorry I couldn’t be there, love, in those last days, This one’s for you

I’d shake your hand hello but Hug you tightly goodbye, I’d go to war for you but I wouldn’t let you see me cry, I’d call you a fool, mockery, but never acknowledge that the twinkle in your eye on a pint laden afternoon in a hazy July Felt like winning the lottery I’d introduce you as my brother, my kin, But I wouldn’t share my sorrow, I’d rather wax lyrical about the sin bin, I’d never tell you I miss you, or brandish my scars - but I’ll always think of you when I look up at the stars I remember years ago, you told me that even if worlds apart We can both pivot to the same sky, both to the same dark

To the workhouse where tears were not shed Long, before the dawn of day, which wasn’t his to take Before long, the government man would come - poke, **** pry, and Moved again with the burning thatch still echoing its ring The only truth, what had been - not what was or would be, To come - the blistering of feet in hot summer sun Present day and although the oppression has, In a way, gone away, There’s a red hand, clasped in a vice grip, The land of one percent is for the few and don't you be having the lip to lament, Even with enforced eviction - ‘why don’t you have the rent?’ History repeats itself, this time at the hand of someone like you See, the bourgeois, petit, never ceased to be A tragedy From inequality born - Ag Coinneáil Daoine Slán

Eviction ban
It's weird Because although you sing Bill’s famous words, You know it probably Won’t be a lovely day Somewhere in the praised Fog of dopamine release, In circles, Brought up - Coming down This, here, now, with all of you, This couldn't possibly Fade away Halcyon days, blue ghosts, that’s some yoke, Long nights feeling short, a bit of remorse, I still love you, all - the more Look, most important to me - none of you are  in a hearse - Keep it that way - Look at the stars, never the mud, Go close to the sun above

I went to your grave today, For the first time I thought I would Pay my respects To a box emerged in the clay, Chance, Why are things this way? I got to see today And despite plans best laid, With your life you paid For An uncommitted sin, An unatonable error, The clichés, They’re lying, My love for you Is undying

Though the bright sky is burning
He wanted peace, Which came in the form of broken sleep On Grafton street, A lullaby sang by chemical imbalance in the brain, So for that this one time frame, Things weren't quite the same, Who is he to blame? For wanting relief, A prisoner of the streets, Moved on by the police, But the people that walk by, They'll never miss a beat; 'Junkie **** doesn't deserve my coin' But you'll go then To your warm home, Sit on your throne And you'll still moan, 'They deserve to be alone' You won't pine, You'll drown your brain in that nine euro Tesco wine See you get your relief too, But with you It gets to be taxed, Regulated And swept under the rug, So next time you judge, Have a look within, You'd be surprised What you might discover On a whim
