Written for a friend who has it all too rough, and who is all too hard on themselves. To them I give the reminder -- failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.

Failure is the Staying Down.m4a

Anything At All

I saw a rose in my garden today
Wilt under sun in its first morning rays
I found some solace in my favorite drug
Knowing not I'm staring down the barrel of a gun 
The spirit is sacred; the mind is a hive
Hatching out lie after lie

You are wise to make a fool of me
Painting all my friends as enemies 

You are no soothsayer; I am no sage
We are all addicts, pawns of the age
Come molten iron; flow over me
Cover the earth and all humanity 
Be like a river of warm milk that bathes all of the righteous that have walked the Way
But as for me; burn me like tar
Sulfur from Venus and Mars 

We are the last generational tribe
Searching for meaning in a jar of flies
Truth is to seekers what pearl is to swine
Only a loss if you think it so fine 
Why should we question our right to exist?
I will not ponder on whether I'll be missed
Fear has instructed my heart to be small 
Slowing the pace of its beating to a crawl
