Circle

Birds circle around high in the sky waiting for to feed
The noises are familiar the children scream of greed
The beach is long and baron like the town turning just to thieve
I don't quite know what happened maybe the laughter caught the breeze
Go down to the pleasure beach and you must pay to enter as people with sad faces leave
A world full of anger and no ride is going to help you or make you feel pleased

Drink

Drink this wine together from the vine
Transcend our time
We're drunk and feel sublime
Absent are bad memories only good ones shine
Childish rhyme but truth I find
This was a crime asleep when I should design
Soon he'll be blind
No roadside signs
Only my teeth to grind

Tribute

What the hell are you supposed to do
When bombs go off and there are children dead who were brand new
The man in the gutter all he needs is some warmth and a little bit of food
Are people so harsh to be blind
Is this reality or just a state of mind
A leader can't lead what they don,t understand
It,s **** or be ****** in our fair land
Is this something that we never ever planned
All this time is just a grain of sand.

Complicated simplicity

The leaves have been here all summer,
Now it's time to go
Bare Trees look so simple
The branches are like veins so far to grow
The dark brown of the early evening Trees,
Looks adventurous like the birds that seem to hang around an old man's crown
Beneath lies moss and mushrooms
Dead trees all twisted around to look like your staring through stained windows
The ground is muddy and leaves footprints
Where to go to now
It's easily done to get into a different world
To leave is never so easy.

Secrets


Words said but not quite yet
Time-bound minds to never forget
That is why we try so hard and always regret
The things not done and the things that are not let
I look back now and wished I'd died instead I'm always upset
For people who never took that extra step
There is a God and he watches then showers us with mortal debt
The memories are a puzzle that your mind unravels accept, accept.

Another name


Cry little boy for soon this will make you humane
I did not know what I'd done wrong but later it was clear in pain
The song in my head was playing over again and again and again
My soul so sad I felt forgotten just standing drowning in the rain
Emptiness is an empty vessel that I'd drunk just to ease the shame
I feel inside like a forest of fire when it spreads with just one flame
You were my only baby and I to you are just another name

Watching You

Someone is watching you in the dark
A lamplight flickers a bright blue spark
Trees become thieves that want to take you and make their mark
Pathways become noisy and every bit of gravel you step on is an alarm bell for the dogs that bark
What you once sought is seeking you
In your mind your worried too
Helpless and ridiculous eyes look new
The older you get the closer it reaches for loneliness the ghoul
