 Room
With No View
The
lessons learned
deep introspection
leaves no stone unturned
an empty room
where the past obstructs the view
i'm fading of you
we lost the future in yesterday
doesn’t mean to throw it all away
a road less travelled when a shadow
follows you
‘cause it feels like hell
but there’s something else
if i could leave it don’t want to be here
in the silent, empty room with no view
the rear view mirror leaves behind
out of sight but not out of mind
the final photo tells no lies
your fading out of view &
i'm fading out of you
^TOP^
Been
So Long
Slowly
but surely
you’re being carried away
drifting further out on these strong currents of change
and i can’t hold back the tide nor the tears
as i get buffeted closer toward the rocks & the cliffs
and this process rolls on infront of my eyes
my head yields gracefully
but my heart slowly dies
everything i touch smell and see
hauntingly echoes and serves to remind me
of a song on the radio
colours you used to wear
perfume in a restaurant
your smile your hair
everything is poignant
associations of symbol and irony
and its been so long i that sings this dribble
knows love’s cost for i gave all my heart
and i lost.

Don’t
Know Why
i know
your geography
yet not your soul
you don’t trust me
i suffer your fame and ride your highs
wanted to set you free & those counterfeit kisses
you say are true feel so good at night
but in the day turn blue i don't know why
you make me feel the way i do
you play the fool
i'm deaf & dumb & blind with you
‘cause i’m lying in the gutter staring at the stars
stoned immaculately up on mars
i don’t know why
you make me feel the way i do

Sleep
Divine
Up
from deep dark sleep
prise your face up off the sheets
wipe the tear dew from your eyes
do you remember what you dreamed of
down - sleeps gravity
pulls me under
way back below to swim in slow time
for crazy minds
to speak the unspeakable truths
sandman enter my room
with pleasure and sprinkle your candy
under my eyelids don't let me dream
of cindy crawford or they’ll be a terrible
puddle under my bed
sorry i’m not here i’m out to dream
shout out in devils tongues
and sing to me your brilliant songs
dream a dream
so deep divine
it makes no sense
no sense at all
^TOP^
Everything
If
you search back into time
in the shadows of her mind
to the left of darkness
lies the fear
in an air of lost connections
so blissfully unaware
everthing you say everything you do
everything is nothing fades to blue
everything
when you feel so far away
but its calling you to stay
i can't believe your killing me
killing me this way
what am i supposed to do
the hanging man is in the noose
can't cut him loose
if i had my time again
it would never be the same
i'd throw it all away for you
everything
