Time's too fast, it never lasts
'Fore I know she'll be gone
And I can't see where I'll be
Or what I'll do when she's gone
Back where she came from
All I know is her sweet glow
And how it lights up my life
Picnic smell inside of 'del'
By the sea cutting strife
With your knife
Feel my grip and make the slip
Ask me to join you on your trip
Then we'll go on with the show
And then I won't feel so low
When you're gone
But still you push on to where you are drawn
Perhaps I'm only a pawn
But that's not true, I'm only blue
I'm only wishing you'd stay
But on you pack, upon your back
Ready to move on with Jack
And never come on back

Where She Came From

(Added Voices written by Antoine de saint-Exupéry for ‘The Little Prince’)

I’m growing cold yet I’m not old
The straight I steer has yet to veer
Toward the ether that lies high above
Toward the promised land that many claim is love
They say learn what you can, use it to stand
Upon the wake, the never ending break
And watch the years begin to roll on by
With what one can only call a life of nigh
So end this destructive chase
For that once present child grace
But I’m not sure, is there not another door? 
That leads to hope, far from this slope
For God never said how we’re supposed to be
So maybe if I close my eyes then I’ll finally see
---------
Waking in the morning and I’m feeling good
So I say oo Hallelujah 
A boy without a warning said he grew up when he could
So I say oo Hallelujah
Oooo He says he’s got a feeling that, that it’s alright so he says
Oooo He says he’s got his future back and, and it is bright so he says
I’ve got to go, I’ve waited too long
So I say oo Hallelujah
But boy you’ve got to know, the loving is strong
So I say oo Hallelujah
Oooo He says he’s got a feeling that, I’m not alone so he says
Oooo He says it while concealing that, his mind’s my own so he says
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la so he says
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la 
But then
I’ve got to ask, where I belong 
So he says oo Hallelujah
Our God bears a mask, so here is not wrong
So I say oo Hallelujah
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la so he says
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Amen

When the doors of perception are cleaned
Everything will appear as it is deemed
So I am free
To be me 
And become everything my soul once was
Looking out upon the world today
Is it possible we don’t behave
As His intent
His planned advent
As we leave all that made us His
So I guess this is all I have to know
Take away all the weight and then you’ll glow
And light your days
And set your gaze
Toward the path you overlooked

Making A Movement

In direct contrast to Gods perceived reality
His world is a business, for it is not a charity
And it must be run in view of false veracity  
Formed by the heads, and then shaped by authority 
Above all the weight, and above all the gravity
Telling their lies for the sake of the durity of 
The non-stop, the burning of the coal
Within the belly of the beast, the monster eating whole
And you feel so sick, and you feel so small
When you know all your power’s really nothing at all
So what is there to do, and what is there to say
When all that’s really understood is you’ll never have your day 
Still you’ll always work and you’ll always pay
Just to satisfy the ones who make you live life their way
Why must we attend coronations of insanity
Displayed by those in their acts of improbity
Projected through the use of their manifested vanity
And taking advantage of our lack of fortuity 
It comes down to this, overused in its levity
That we all the people must surrender congruity and
Take stock, live out our lives in shock
And only ever speak out by appointment of the clock
And live behind their rules and sleep behind our locks
For we’ll never get the time to have them hear what we talk
But that’s enough, I fear I’ve said too much
And so I’d better take my leave, and only live out on a crutch 
In the search for love, and in the search for touch
For in the 21st century, all we lack is such
The world is a lab, it’s chemicals to blow
All for a worthless profit, only the heads will know 
Still here we are to slave, and slaving doesn’t show
The graves we are digging, the graves they order grow 
So we do all this for, their glassy eyed stare
That’ll work you to the bone, and can find you anywhere
That you’ll seek to escape, you’ll look for solitude
But there is no seeking, when you’ll never elude them
Them
Them
Them

Well, I could feed the hungry
Or I could be a junky 
I could be kindest person you’ve ever seen
I could be or instead I could even be mean
Well, I could catch the stars
Or I could hang around at bars
I could be the safest person you’ve ever met
I could be or instead I could be a threat
But oh, you’ll never never never
Oh, you’ll never never never
Get to know who I am when no one’s watching
Well, I could save the whales
Or I could undo the rails 
I could be unlike the person you think I am
I could be or instead or I couldn’t give a damn
But oh, you’ll never never never
Oh, you’ll never never never
Get to know who I am when no one’s watching
But no one’s watching
No one’s watching
No one’s watching

Come gather ‘round people and a story I will tell
About a man named Kevin and his retirement hell
He lived his whole life, just like any of us do
But not before a vessel in his brain finally blew
And he soon found himself lying on the floor
A haze ‘round his head and there forever more
His family saw the change and after this no sooner
Did they check poor Kevin into a home called B...
He came on a Wednesday, and he couldn’t understand
How he ended up here just like his late old man
He went through the motions, his skin turned to silk
He found it difficult just to drink a glass of milk
And he walked down the hallways, each and every day 
Searching for something he’d forgotten ‘long the way 
He needed help most, when no one was there
For those budget cuts they really cut into the care
The manager at the time, let’s call her Lotz
Was offered a bonus if she could ease the costs
So she scrapped all the workers, and she scrapped all the wine
You might even say she scrapped all their time 
And the home really suffered, but what was there to do
Age is a business and they were making a slew
But it put forth the chain, the dominoes blown
And poor old Kevin was left all alone 
It happened on a Friday, within that same hall
Kevin took a stumble and he began to fall  
He reached for the rail, he reached for a hand
But there was no one there to even watch him land
And the cameras were off, had been for a week
For no one was called to make the fixing tweak 
While Kevin lay still, in a pool of blood
Not even a dam could hold back the flood
His family was called and was told the news
Told in a way that they could not refuse
“There was nothing to be done, his time had come
For he was an old man; deaf, blind and dumb”
And the Manager Lotz, went on with her day
Cutting the budget in exchange for the pay 
While Kevin was gone, and gone no sooner
Than the Wednesday he’d arrived at the home called B...

B...

There was a young man who had boarded a flight
His love awaiting him on the other side
Now just as his plane began to the leave the platform 
Out in front ahead blew an electrical storm 
About half way there came on the captains broadcast  
He said to buckle up until the storm had passed
The young man turned his head and had a look outside
The lightning pounding hard his aeronautical ride
Not long after that the young man pulled out his phone 
He dialled for the answer of the love he had known 
Many seconds passed and so he thought it was folly
But then one second later came the voice of his Molly
She answered in tears that he couldn’t hear through
That is until he heard what she already knew
She said his plane crashed and everyone on board died
He answered that’s impossible, he’s still alive 
It went down in the storm, she cried out in a fit
Perhaps by chance we’ve happened on a time altered split
You’ve been dead here for hours, the news has spread very fast 
But maybe there’s a chance of you now changing what’s past
The young man said he’d try and stood up out of his seat
He rushed inside the cockpit with a message to greet
Take this plane down, he said, or else we will crash
This storm has broken time and caused a future flash
The captain turned his head and told the young man to leave
That’s a load of rubbish, just some nonsense conceived 
The young man felt a rush and took a chance at the helm
First the storm then the young man, the captain overwhelmed  
There was nothing he could do against the young mans might
The captain and the young man and storm controlled the flight
By the end, through the struggle, neither man won the clash
And just as Molly’d stated the plane had come to crash

Plane Ballad In D

The village has erupted, the king is on his way
Everybody knows, here there’s no better day 
He is honoured, worshipped as our lord
With his crown on his head, and with his piercing sword 
But I cannot cheer, for am I held in the stocks 
A punishment of crime, a halted tick of my clock
The banners are a-blazing, confetti’s in the air
The village folk are screaming, I’d better say my prayer
The king has arrived, I hear he’s asked for me
Oh, why with this sentence, I only murdered three
While he as the king, has left so many dead
Oh boy, anyway, I sure am going to miss my head

The King Is On His Way

Last night I had the strangest dream
I caught the most beautiful fish I’d ever seen
But my joy didn’t last long
For something felt wrong
As I looked in its eyes and saw only fear
I tried my best to unhook its mouth
Its blood pouring down my arm throughout
Well I feared the worst 
As it gasped in thirst
So I threw it back into the sea
Where it just sank in front of me
I couldn’t believe what I had done
That fish will never again see the sun
So I held my breath
In honour of its death
And just as my world went dark I woke from my dream

Dream Fish

Walkin’ down the road a-howlin’
There ain’t nothin’ in the world concernin’ me
Concernin’ me
Well, my friends have concerns 
And boy, you outta see
They let the little things take over
I try to tell them nothing really matters in time
Boy, in time
Well, they got their world
And me, I got mine
So here I go
Awooo yeah
Awooo yeah
Awooo yeah
Awooo yeah

Howlin'

The crows merely blink their eyes
At all those with their colourful disguise
They have never carried regret
Nor the wish for something they can’t get
I wish that I was born in Spain
But instead I was born in vain
The snow never feels the pain
Of not experiencing the summer rain
It has never had to doubt
The need it plays in winter throughout
I wish that I was born in Spain
But instead I was born in vain
My love, she doesn’t have to doubt
Without her all men would die of a drought
But I simply cannot understand
Why she’d leave me for a Spanish man
Well, I wish that I was born in Spain
But instead I was born in vain

Born In Vain

Spent forty days, and forty nights in winter
I faked my death, was discovered through disinter 
I’m at a loss for reach, maybe soon I’ll pour some bleach over me
All over me
I’ll disappear, and make the right connections 
Split all my thoughts, and think in all directions 
And maybe then, I’ll build a pharmacy, and in the end we’ll all just agree it’s late
It’s far too late
I think I’m wasting my time
I have no reason or rhyme 
My dog is staging a coup 
Oh what shall I do?
I’m going mad, been going mad for twenty years
A tortured soul, perhaps I’ll cut off both my ears
I’m moving down by the salt water lakes, to cleanse my spirit, and make all the mistakes I want
Every single one
And maybe then I’ll be free
Of all misplaced misery 
Unless I find there’s a snake
Well then, I’ll punch on the breaks
Still I think I can win
I’ve packed my whisky and gin
I’m prepared to be strong
But I hope this winter lasts longer

Hunting Hybernation

I’m weary of all my worries
Tired of all my hurries 
I think I should go to bed
I’m living within my daydreams  
Kneeling for Kings and their Queens 
I think it’s gone to my head
Tied up, waiting for the right drop
Of Acid’s harvesting crop, it’s not very clean, nope
Alice, she’s showing me the malice 
That she took out of Dallas
While dosing in the Palace, Alice
I don’t know why I’m hating
I am merely waiting 
For the sun to lose sight
All these people that I talk to
They have no idea who
I am late at night
Talk’s cheap, unless there’s life there to reap
A sign of God buried deep, beneath the filth we must sweep
The clock ticks, my broken tongue can’t be fixed
I built my house of pale bricks, but that won’t keep out politics, nor the crucifix 
I’m troubled with my troubles
Hustled through my hustles 
I think it’s a losing game
I’ll be sleeping again tomorrow
Hopefully more like Romeo
No, I don’t want his fame

Day In The Life

I got to know
How does it flow
Your state of mind
When in the throe
I’m feeling scared
To lose what’s shared
To fall behind
When you’re not there
My pulse is catered to your touch
My life relies on yours so much
Ahh Is there life after death?
Ahh Is there life without breath?
I got to feel
To know its real
This closing door
Forever sealed 
I’m feeling lost 
I feel the frost
Our Summer’s gone
At such a cost
My world orbits around your light
My body will sink if you take flight
Ahh Is there life after death?
Ahh Is there life without breath?

Farewell, Love

Jesus Christ was killed today
And within his cold tomb, he did lay
Revealing there he would not stay
For three days hence he was away
Jesus Christ has told today
That he’d return to clear the way
To build his kingdom from the fray
And teach us hate is not the way
Jesus Christ appeared today
Behind false prophets, despite delay
Into our world’s unwelcoming way
For faith has finally gone astray  
Jesus Christ was lost today
And all he gave was thrown away
For he now lays, a broken ashtray 
Within an asylum, for that is our way

Jesus Christ

Two Dimensional

I do not know of anyone else who would share my passion for love;
It is a sensitive thing, one not easily connected. 
I see through my eyes, and I feel with my skin.
My heart beats only when I feel excitement; be it good or bad.
I can't tell you what someone else sees, nor what someone else feels.
Nor can I even tell you when they feel excitement; be it good or bad. 
The wind blows through my hair, and my hair alone.
The sun warms my body, and my body alone.
The darkness blinds my eyes, and my eyes alone.
Am I any different from anyone else?
Probably not.
But even so, I can't speak for them. 
I can't say what they're thinking, nor know what they're feeling.
I can't tell them what they want, nor tell them what they need.
I can't ask them for anything, nor give them anything they want without asking.
There will always be a breadth of distance between us; one that no system of measurement will ever determine.
And so, for this reason, I do not know of anyone else who would share my passion for love;
It is a sensitive thing, one not easily connected.
