you can pass around the blame
like it's a game of pass the parcel
you can say it's a hard days work
just to feed the family
because they'd have died of famine
if you weren't telling them all lies
Thomas Alan Feb 2022
I wanted to believe
the truth that lay behind your eyes
perhaps if it spilled with all the tears
it could have rubbed away all of the lies

So we got unlaced and rethread
at the end of a sad November’s day
but don’t you worry yourself though sweetheart
I’ll make sure that you get to have your say

who knows why you hurt the truest love
you have ever truly known
when you changed the course of history
forever apart, we will now be sewn

for you I was here all of the time
day or night my love
always with your fingers half interlocked
and folded into mine

I just want someone to read this
and understand my words as they are written
for the one for me will appreciate my intuition
yet still, from a curse of the bible I was left bitten

three **** yellow strands
stand up on edge
at the sight of a basic boy
that could be pushed from a ledge

he ponders and he wonders
what lonely has yet to become
while through a fake easy smile
he's showing far too much gum

you sold me the dream
as badly as you sold me the lie
too long you spent performing for Hollywood
just to get your name into the sky

Thomas Alan Feb 2022
I found solace in my deepest thoughts
but nightmares beneath your streams
and I think you choked me with a dreamcatcher
just to take away all of those dreams

I wished only the freedom
to be completely myself
so you hid me out of sight
at the back of your dusty shelf

You dressed our house of horrors
with tasteless macabre interior
but it was not my fault
that I made you feel inferior

I was locked, tied and bolted
from within our doors
for you I sat and I wimped
and begged on all fours

but you forgot
to bolt shut the rear door
so tonight I dance around the garden with the fairies
because you cannot hide me anymore

Thomas Alan Feb 2022
I cannot let myself
pick apart my heart anymore
and no longer can I let it wilt
while I stare into your skies
I got close enough to the touch the moon
but whilst you faced the sun
I saw in that moment
the truth about who you really were
then I burned my fingers trying to turn it around
still I tried to plant a hundred stars
right into your galaxy

I got lost out there somehow
in the dead of a never ending night

and you just left me

floating

             further
  
        and further



       away
