Locks himself inside again pouring time away within
Locks himself inside again pouring time away within
interplanetary shmorgas board
born of your delights
fights and flights amongst the dusty
English skypers
swigging coffee
chewing toffee at
each other's heat and longing
Made for more
and this is a risk
but it's a shift away from
blame culture
a waving wire frame sculpture of a
misspent youth hiding altogether
sprouting doubt in your esteem
until your dreams are on the shelf
and even pockets full of
wealth can't save your broken body from
welts that burn under a sunlamp
Locks himself inside again pouring time away within
Locks himself inside again pouring time away within
mouth is slightly damp towelette
morning campsite jitters
Bursting over rampant highflying critters
Balls! falls chores tall order
once a borders crossed we're never bending over backwards
for a slice of that provincial pie
a tasty lie that sows a dark, dark seed
sows a need to greed of what's your own
so what's enthroned over your dining table
mantled over your lover's mandibles
Locks himself inside again pouring time away within
Locks himself inside again pouring time away within
In him...
after connection with the trimmings is not
imaginable simply chantable not fact-
-ual or practical a friendship always tax-
-able
Relying on a social coma escaping a
Kodachrome a moment away from the scrumptious gr-
-ouch groaning insolence and virulence
Deliciously ferocious like a peanut butter
tyrant infamous in his speaking
notorious in his lying
high enough now flying wisdom mag-
-nifying all that's at
fault and error to be a
miscommunication and when
wise words drip from loving lips
they disintegrate a frozen heart to drips
Now seeping weeping altogether broken altogether fixing
both together powder mixing
Locks himself inside again pouring time away within
Locks himself inside again pouring time away within...

*creative design
never again will I be dumb struck
thumb sucked love sick floating over
hard facts day tasks chewing through the
gristle
never again will I be dumb struck
thumb sucked love sick floating over
hard facts day tasks chewing through the
gristle
My heart drums tickety tack
prickly packs of fiddlers shudder a
manic rhythm
All inside are
taken by the quickness of dec-
-ision
passion pumps through arter-
-ies
head rushing running art through
me
Shouting loud unceasing-
-ly I have loved
I will love again
slowly but sure-
-ly
enjoy the head rush running
art through ever shouting
I have loved and I will love again
(but this time his timings best)
as I'm taught to fight for
my release from the bondages that
I've helped weave
(but this time his timings best)
Getting better now
resolution's
getting quicker now teaching me to love and how
delicate it all seems
Never again...x2
Busted out of prison again and
hopefully for the last time
allowing my little self to cry I'll
hold him till he's strong
again me myself and I ready to
wail and swing and slide creative
designed to sing and chime and pluck and
dance among the shadows building
up rusted metal loving
into shape a body weak from
bones that quake our lies becoming a
trend to hollow lives from what's
inside
snide against each
other's needing seeding doubt in
truth proceeding which is really
worth the reaping
but I'll...
Relent and say that I cant do this
Resent the fact that I can't do this
Accept the fact I can't do this
...without a helping hand to say
let's put you back together together so you can
sing and pluck and dance but
never loose your loving heart
the fire that keeps the engine going for
singing
dancing
plucking
swinging
clapping chiming
rhyming grinding
winding dining on all the beauty
that the world affords you freely
So once again will I be dumb struck
Yet enjoying a love amongst the
fact that every man and woman must
do a job but it really isn't the
work that makes the human but the drive the
fire the flame that's fanned to pursue
passion freedom in truth is hard but the
easy road is fruitless and
boring

Physician Heal Yourself

*physician heal yourself
Don't be fooled by the self medicating
Slip on drool from the self deprecating
Don't be fooled by the self
Autumn's all and in it's wealth
I'm not free
Stuck in place to a worn out clock face
Residual pain strained limbs lose grace
Morning bites evening howls
I'm ok when you're around
But I'll be free before too long
Pay no at-
tention to the man that's vibrating
always picking
up and pushing down compensating
Decides to
strive for a picture of plenty for which he's slaving
Falls hard, discards a
shard of freedom and it's health pulsating
Stepping
closer to the edge
Choosing
life instead
of shutting
down and drowning out those left
waiting
Speaks a little
Loved a lot
Begins to yawn and
not to plot
When he's taunted
by the whispers that are pla-
cating
Stripping bone down to marrow
settling less for myth and tarot
Freeing nos locked inside
Incense wafts up beside
A smiling face bringing light to his sorrow
And what's sweeter than sweet is that all's incomplete
No matter the charade or bravado
And brothers we'll be free
And sisters we'll be free
And children we'll be free
before too long

*Rich young worrier
I sit on my knees
And ask for more
of you please
I sit on my knees
And ask for more
of you please
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
x2
I strive to exist
When at best I can survive
I strive to make sense
When at rest I can abide
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
x2
Hide out in disguise
Truth pricks a finger
In a bush fill of lies
Should I wait
Or flee without delay
How am I doing
How am I doing
How did I do
No more lies
His is a truth
A truth I can see
Quick to release
Grace without reason
Love without end
I'd like to live
I'd like to live
Like to live free

Family

*Family
There's a damp patch on the ceiling
Near the place my time's been leaking
The taps are running but the pipes are rusting
I'd change the channel but it takes the whole damn day
I have found some shoulders are worthy
Of my arm when I need to rest
So when it comes to times once fabled
(I'll) seek again my fathers sturdy chest
While we wail He says
Ooo don't fear
Ooo
*!*
(As we) tear down just to rebuild
Side by side sleeves rolled to elbow
(Diving) head first into my mess
Lit by smiles that beam and glow
(Finding) out what relationship really means
living together and sharing our woes
(And joys) triumphs just the same
When one rises the others sure don't fall
And all the while he says
Ooo don't fear
And lovingly he says
Ooo when did a worry add a single hour to your life
So I'll try not to fear
Any scheme of man
Because I know
The contours of his hands
Yet I worry and doubt from confusion
But that's because I'm not yet fully grown
(So I'll) persevere in the hope of love that
Will leave my joy complete and nothing less
(Then I) heard a voice say
Ooo just be yourself
(It continued)
Ooo 'cause that's the you that I like best

*wires
It's been a while now
Since we last sat down
Talked and hung out like
We had never frowned
But the wires are all down now
Your blood is all over
My hands are both drowned
I'm so sorry
Let's mend this right now
While the wires are all down now
I've got time
While the wires are all down now
We'll chase all your fears away
sorry for the delay
We'll chase all your fears away
Sorry for the delay
(But the) wires are all down now
Let's make some space
But the wires are all down now
I've got time
But the wires are all down now
