Deadpan Comedian

Like a rose crushed under a muddy boot
My spirit it died
Like a bird flying foolishly in a storm
I’ve been brushed aside
No not here
I won’t just fade away
Like a deadpan comedian
Who’s forgotten his lines
No not here
I will not blow away
A chance in a million here it comes
But damn i'm on the wrong side of the tracks
The day will come when a comet kills us all
That sounds pretty sweet
It’s funny how we all meet the same silly fate
You and me and he and she
No not here
I will not float away
Like a deadpan comedian
Who’s forgotten his lines
No not here
I won’t just blow away
A chance in a million there it goes
But damn i'm on the wrong side of the tracks
I will not blow away

Not Love

Will you say the words
You know will hurt me so
Just say them anyway
The silence doesn’t make them go
Away to someplace better
Look inside your heart
So give me all your kindness
Put away your love
Not love
But kindness
Not love
But kindness

Stone
03:31

Taking the hit, with,
A straight face
Doesn’t it hurt, falling,
Into place
I’m sitting on the ground
And the stones that lie around
They’re not new
Wasn’t it you, said,
Everything
Happens in threes, sure,
My thoughts they slowly sink
Like roots into the ground
And the stones that lie around
they’re not new
Sore throats, sweaty palms, bleeding noses
We left a trail in our wake of bloody roses
Our feet touch the floor
One in every three steps
Out hearts beat to the beat
to the shake of every head
That cast off the weight
That stumbled along to a fate
Where nobody knows what the morning brings
But if its a stone on the ground
A stone on the ground
I’ll pick it up
Toss it across the lake
See the ripples flow
Reach back to me
Through my shoes
To my toes
Up my spine
To my brow
Wasn’t it you, said,
Everything
Is beautiful

Perfect Days
04:07
|

|
Everyday, I wake
And this dream
Lingers on
Of those perfect days
I wait, afraid to try it on
Afraid to start at all
Till you're here
When bare, lies is all I need
You're so good, You're so quick
You're a tease
But now you're talking
Of roses anyway
You'll scratch the surface
And run away
Don't pull me under
Don't pull me under
Everyday, I wake
And this dream
Lingers on
Of those perfect days

Wouldn't You Want
03:48

Oh wouldn’t you want to be the one
To hold my hand to
Lead me out into the sun
Or the moonlight
I don’t know if it’s dark outside
Or what day it is
I’ve no sense of time
There are places that my mind
Keeps going to
Oh wouldn't you want to be the one
Oh wouldn’t you want to set me free
To push me just
A little so I’m flying over trees
The world it trembles
It don’t like no renegades
They live inverted days
Scribble the night away
It wants geometry thinks poetry’s a waste
Oh don’t you want to escape
Oh wouldn’t you want to let me be
Show me love
Fill me drop by drop
Till I’m a sea
Am I’m feeling
Or is that nothing more than lies
I’ve told myself this time
I can’t criticise
I can lie back I can sleep and I can dream
Oh wouldn’t you want to be the one
I’m a renegade
I live inverted days
Scribble the nights away
I Scribble the nights away
Scribble the nights away
I Scribble the nights away
