There is never an end unless
You prepare it yourself

Stopping everything and leaving it
Or just bringing it to a short pause
To catch your breath

Boundless domains of elation
Bottomless pits of wonder
Endless roads of fascination

The cohesive bond we all share
Unspoken to some, unheard of by many
A unifying of all beings

The blood that binds us separates us
The spirit that connects us penetrates us
I hear it and sprint towards it

To help my fellow man
To listen, to hold, to share
To pick up, to give, to know

No matter the distance
Emotional or geographical
I will come

That I promise

Mister I swear that I have seen you somewhere before
But I can’t remember at all
The time, or the place, I cannot recall
Was it in that hallway as you passed me by?

Was it at the concert you played at
Thought I knew who you were but I guess I don’t

The crowd went crazy as you walked off stage
Your black zoot suite and dark black shades
It seems

Like this is some weird sign
An alarm in my mind
And I just keep wondering why

So was it all just a dream
So was it in my head
I have no idea who you were, but now your dead
Like running into someone
You’ll never see again
Want to know who you were
I can never win

Jazz musician, who played his final show
And walked away through the flowered rows and I still don’t know who he was
Killed in the mist, murdered by my consciousness
And left behind by my **** forgetfulness

Like this is some weird sign
An alarm in my mind
And I just keep wondering why

So was it all just a dream
So was it in my head
I have no idea who you were, but now your dead
Like running into someone
You’ll never see again
Want to know who you were
I can never win

Like this is some weird sign
An alarm in my mind
And I just keep wondering why

So was it all just a dream
So was it in my head
I have no idea who you were, but now you’re dead
Like running into someone
You’ll never see again
Want to know who you were
I can never win

Mr. Green shoes
Mr. Green shoes sit still I’m trying to see
Mr. Green shoes yes Mr. Green shoes are you lookn at me

Very strange
Yes it’s so strange
And I don’t wanna miss
Oh no it’s pure bliss

Slithering down the wall
Keep on till the bubbles stop

Climb just to jump
Jump just to run
Stay up just to sleep
Starve so you can eat

Sound bouncing off all four walls
Can’t move engines stalled
Falling fallen fell fall
The season changed

Got a new prescription
I can see on forever
No sunny disposition
Got a new perspective
The physician's mission
Tommy Johnson Dec 2013
Fell from the sky
And took me away
Destiny called me
I ran to it

I learned of their ways
Stronger than others
They killed my mother
Kept my love a secret

More machine than man

I strayed from my path
I just wanted more
I was set aflame
And lost my love

Graciously saved oh
I walked a new path
Destroy anything
That got in my way

Stop me if you can

Trapped inside
Twisted mind
World is mine
Hide my fear
My anger
Suffering

Maybe I’m wrong
No you we’re right
I leave the dark and see the light

Trapped inside
Twisted mind
World is mine
Hide my fear
My anger
Suffering

My 3rd eye has seen
All the dimensions
But it was just a glance
Of all the possibilities

Everything’s clean and clear
Nothing to hate nothing to fear

Construct ideas of over joy
Eliminate inner animosities
Along with what you don’t need
Perception is cleaned

Everything’s clean and clear
Pains disappeared pleasure is near

Nobody can’t see me
Everybody is so needy
They can’t we can’t I can’t die

The beauty in the world
Brings energy to me
I’m so grateful
Happy just to be

Everything’s clean and clear
Yes it’s strange yes it’s weird

I know you’ll reject
But you’ll regret
Not looking
Through the glass

There’s no fate
Futures mine
Everything’s clean and clear
Breathing in the sweetest air
Clean and clear

I can’t defend my actions
Unexplainable bursts of deviant behavior
I begin to believe in my own farfetched deceit
And convince myself it’s the truth
I long to retract the word
Pushing a wedge between you and I
So why am I putting this off?
You heavy misdeed did not outweigh mine
So what am I yelling for?
I fooled myself in thinking that karma would never find me in a secluded cave on the other side of the world
May all my sins be absolved
And my remorse be washed away
As yours fade likewise
And we repent our falsehoods to each other
I a, a genuine charlatan
And I can own up to that
I apologize
Now I leave
We’ll look back at this
As the time we came clean
Tommy Johnson Dec 2013
Search deep and you’ll know that I still care
And that never left
I’ve never been anywhere but beside you

I can sense your bottled up misery
And you can recall the promise I made
That I will always remain here

I wish I could reverse the cascading rapids of time
And restore all the euphoric essence of the past
But the winds of life push forward
And that’s nothing to fear
The serrated ways you cope
Self mutilation
Leaving scars that remind you of what caused you to create them in the first place
I’ll stay awake for a millennium
Until my eyes fall out
Just to make sure that yours aren’t flooded with tears
And your breath is uncatchable
With an attentive ear
And open arms
I’m there to find a way with you
Through all of this
When conversing with me is the last thing you want to do
And you’ve pushed me away again
I’ll still reside in the space between your feelings of rejection and your discouraging thoughts
Behind you, beside you all the way
