Shhhhh I say
It's here so quiet
The music of the world sounds silently to my ears
No songs of joy
Nor laughters ploy
Such a sad lonely world I fear

Before there was silence
The world did rage against itself
As countries did battle
Over dust unto dust
No lessons of happiness
Until the quiet

Now only echoes of faces fill this earth
Shadows of dreams reach my mind
I am the only one
Left to shout the silence

How do I survive my future
Be no chance of moving on
Let the silence come greet me
The end is near
Earth is in song

The place of the lost souls brought no resemblance to the reality that surrounded them
In their world the end only came as the bell of time sounded its echo's through clouded thought's
As I entered their domain the faded memories flooded to my senses,times from the past brought a sadness to my glow.
I was once part of this scene
I was once into the show
A place for the ended ... one place left to go

The bar fitted like a glove that never left ,a stool made for worship.this place where I rest
And so I looked around
Familiar faces older and darker and closer to the place we all fail to want ,bearded features followed where once clean cut chins held aloft .
Mumbles from silence only showed in the crowd as the deserted wanted nothing, nothing but silence.  
My place was once this home,these bodies once my friends.I know now that their spell did once near lead me
Lead me well to the end.
The tree had its markers, a shudder in me showed.The place was un special, no more about those hours be heard.
And like an old friend the nectar returned,my glass tasted heaven as the buzz into orbit entered my veins,the rush of that feeling gave me the power.Power to rule my enemies,power to fight the fight .Oh sweet sweet nectar how missed could you be as golden as honey as sweet as a peach.
My hook was inserted the fogginess faded and the trap lay before me as my thirst for the power returned.
Was then I knew like I always knew that I was lost, I was soulless, I was one of them and that my end had been written,written to end

My 3am kick has lasted an hour
I'm still wide awake so maybe a shower  
This time seems so quiet I wonder to scare
Is boggy or spider hiding somewhere

My eyes come all foggy I'm straining to see
The coffee is awful this hunger to beat
I've looked at my facebook and emails all read
I should be so tired and in my sweet bed

The hell with this sleep as long goes the dead
That's what I keep saying but still want me rest
I'll buy me some matches and prop up me styes
I may look quite funny but look at me eyes

Oh sod all this writing its sending me nuts
My mind is still racing no foot on me clutch
No doubt as I pack up and wake for the day
My sleep will be knocking but up I must stay

These words come from a hand that writes in dutch
From a voice thats never heard
In a world that cares not much

For many years my mind sees what others cannot spell
No auto correct
No wishing well
This jumbled mind lays down the ink
Tis then my thoughts do turn to drink  

I cannot help this way I am
I've tried to spell
Dictate the dram
But spelling write
I dread to think
My mind is a mess
Stained red  

Many souls out there will see
That spelling life
Is hard to breath
Until you try to understand
A simple man in a time
That anger rules and write is wrong

Do you see?
My view is right but here its not  
The spelling devils do their song
No lessons learned my English poor
The ink does give me
Rage that's raw

Let the drink flow down to calm my quell
I'm down here working  
This heat is swell
And still I fight the letters bind
I cant escape

I do the wrong
When all I want to do
Is
Right

The smell was there
Old
Wasted
Dead people
Yet in they walked
Crawled
Needed

The ticket to life
Beyond doctors door
The calm of those words
A cure for the all

A look at each other
The waiting that call
They know all your wanting
Drug takers us all

A limp from a stranger
All left in their walk
The circles surround him
The death knoll do quell

So here I do join them
I wonder my fate
A drug full of wonder
My illness belate

Darkness awaits these wary eyes as
The chorus of the day fills my body
Another town
Another place
Ready for the load
So be my precious

Oil filled jeans edge the way
To my rig of life
Rock to the ready
As music meets music
Mile after mile

Lonely in my solitude
See life pass
Everyday
Eyes meet eyes never a word said
But a nod feels the same

Call to the phone don't end the delays
Cuts from the cars that never give way
To shouts from a horn
Not looking
My day

Food all a plenty that fills fuller
Shirts
Sleeps for the bunk
Time wasted
Another life away
Long the day as loading still waits
Another 2 hours
Another delay

Trucking is life
A world on its own
A place for the madman
A place for the lone
Yet all this appeals to me and the few
This world is my playground
I'm here for the view

The day started with a whisper to my ear
I knew you wouldn fuss
That day
Time of year
My thoughts of you smiling
Looking my way
This world has one missing
I miss you today

I looked in the mirror and saw in your eyes
The son of a father
Sweet tears from his sighs
The time had not healed
The sea that I shed
I long for your voice
Not that
Found in my head

The date started early
My time for reflect
Another year missing
My heart torn and dead

The smell of the coffee brought smoke from my thought's
This need of your fixer
From a bygone of tucked in dreams
Such memories hold me
Those past in my hand
The sadness evolves me
This day be the dammed

Time made the move that held me and cried
Reflections of mirror's
That look in my eye
Hours of laughter now echo's rebound
From times in our fighting I'd beat you a cry
Stop cos its hurting
My laughter our high

Violins to trumpets filled ears dipped in wax
Remember the music
A classic be had
I never quite got it
Yet now understand
You passion not doubted
Beethoven commands
Deep breaths steal my wanting

Dusk brings me home to a family of three
My son to be proud of
A wife next to me
They all miss your knowledge
Your kindness
Your love
Without you
There'd be ghosts in my love

We thank you my father
I'm proud your my dad
Happy Birthday
