Ship of fools
climbing up the river
bounded to progress
blinded to beauty

ship of fools
don't know where they're going
but they always think so
do you really think so?

the water is not as
cold as you had thought so
last year I watched the leaves fall
now I fall with them

I,
watch the ship burn down
every night
I lay my head
I see the blazing story
in my bed

ohh

I,
watch the ship burn down
every night
I lay my head
I see the blazing story
in my bed

and what happens next
isn’t ours to choose
what happens next
really is just ours to lose

The Ship of fools

Constipation

I run to my ceramic throne,
I feel it coming I groan.
I take my seat,
Try to ****,
To no avail,
I feel terrible.
I push more and more,
My face red, my *** sore.
One last push,one last try,
A deep breath, a loud cry,
"Who let the dogs out, woof woof,
Out you come, you goof,
Something dropped,
It worked,
Heard a large plop.

Piracy

If this world was a ship,
I don't want to be the captain.

I want to be the pirate.

Too much of the same.

This
        Ship
                Is
                   Sinking

Rock bottom.

Space Madness

Engines turned off as I free fall
and watch
drifting in this star's gravity
the ships
bathe in the ocean of life
and then
one continues toward the flame
a moth
heats up and dissipates
another lost to madness
So it goes

Static Sails Torn

We where sails torn,
    never catching

each others gusts....

But still we tried to blow
                 life into something,

that wasn't moving anywhere.

And then we knew it was time
             to abandon ship..

Then we realised,

                    that we
  sailed better alone.

Madness of Waves

In the tumltous waters, a ship set sail
beaten by the madness of waves

In the distance, landfall drew close, an island of serenity shone in the stormy night

A mirage it maybe, for a ship beaten by the madness of waves never sailed again

Cruise Ship

Her spirit shines of skittles
The flavors you taste on a tropical island
Her soul is made of the first blanket of snow
Cold, but gleams so delightfully in the sunlight

When I look at her this is what I see
Something that I could never be
She’s a magnet to the people around her
Fixed like a child to their mother

A fire so easily contained
She cannot be tamed
Nor does she belong in a cage
The purest warmth you cannot disobey

I promise not to control it
I promise I won’t try to tame it
The fire inside of me is abstract to yours
It’s already ignited a forest to flames

A monster that I created
A fog rampant all around me
Rehabilitate my spirit
Teach me how to add color to my bleak existence

Cross the line.

Repressing your feelings,

   Like I'm repressing mine.

      Pretending we're just friends,

         We dare not risk nor cross that line.
