Don't warp it into something that never was.
Just a game we played inside our heads with our hearts.

Failed predictions of a future that could never be.

You'll only ever be you.

I'll only ever be me.
Together, alone. Separate but whole.
Time when imminent begins
when the twins start to smoke
money for old rope
new lamps for old
give me your lead
and I'll turn it to gold.

Pay your tax and relax
you've got nothing to do
pay the rent and the
home's free
they've got nothing on you.

When imminent begins
when the fat lady sings
when you're out of the frying pan
and into the fire
we'll see who the liars are then.

There is thunder afoot
I don't think it's a train
more machinations
to imagine a brain
that never sleeps
always keeps
an eye
on the background.
while your eyes are on the show, the background is where the main events are taking place.
One more on the to do list to do
one more thing that I have
missed out
One more devil to pay for
and for that
I will pay for
no doubt.

Window across the valley
mist on the mountain tops
the river runs ragged and slowly
until this all finally stops.

The chamois with feet very steady
gets ready to jump the crevasse
I think I might jump across with him, to
where the grass is much greener
it's making me
keener to try.

If I stay I will dry up and wither
like some ear of corn in the sun,
but if I die in the taking it's
me that is making
the choice
and the one
that is loading
the gun.
I want to cry
when I make
a spellig
mistake.
You choose your path,
And when in wrath,
You choose how to react,
With people,you choose how to act,
When wrong,you choose to either accept or deny,
But the laws of nature;you can't defy
When you're wrong,you're wrong.
You can't run away from the consequences like you can from a ball when playing ping pong.
Life is a series of choices and results.
Comparing yourself to others,
Seriously robs you of joy,
Accept your life as it is,
Love what you own,
There's no satisfaction in comparison,
You'll always think you're not good enough,
Compete with yourself,
Compare yourself with who you were yesterday,
Live in your life,
Be happy,be content and make improvements day by day.
