Down by the Sea Shore

I confess that every path I follow
Makes me question all the untold
Nothing more misleading, than a road that can be seething with a phantom feeling on your own
No fire or ice just a slowly closing vice
Open eyes can see the reason why
They want us to stumble, as we slowly fumble our way and just ignore
Selling sea shells down by the sea shore
Says we're broke but says we can be cool
When she's broke she means in a physical way
It's the Demon's, huh, they like to visit us hey
Removed keystones never had to leave home
Queen bees not dead she's just dethroned
Holes in her shoes, in heart, in her sole
Everybody left, everybody had to go
You came this far you can do it on your own
Is it love, is it luck, is it lust, is it home.
So get by spilling hearts in blues bars
Slit your wrist now you're left with two scars
The tides high so you best just move fast
Let go nuts, go Dutch lets spread it out
Now calm down, slow down while I let it out
Home grown, mute phone While I yell and shout
I'm stuck between a rock n a hard place
Split lips never good with metallic taste
Lay theses flowers down, lay em down to waste
Grave stones hold bones in a lonely case
We no longer stand and call in one voice
Let’s not forget that you still have the full choice
Tired of the meeting and the blind way its repeating just to try and shut us out some more
Now’s the time to look at all our options
Only so many ways a person can learn
I’m beginning to see that all I need is now and somehow it’s so simple to let your mind turn
Picked with the-pickled peppers, Down with the half steppers
Stuck in a wind tunnel chilling with a dead leper
And now she's killing me softly with her love letters
Ball point pens cause stains on my best sweater
Touch drift wood your never need to float again
It's been a long time since I had to gloat within
Come on truly did you really have to go with him
It don't add up the maths don't stack up
She's not depressed she's mad with her back up
Looking through her eye the worlds in a sepia tone
Broke bones mend better when sleeping alone
Save the last dance like a weak chick flick
Played on the chance she might be sea sick
Hey now, here's a sick little secret
Let's hold hands and jump off at the same time
Love never dies let's end with a lame line
I'm stuck between a rock n a hard place
Split lips never good with metallic taste
Lay theses flowers down, lay em down to waste
Grave stones hold bones in a lonely case

Take Me Out

Take it in your stride
It moves into all that’s right
A little fantasy of a simple sight of a restless night
Take
Me
Out
Back drafts and sad laughs
Relationships that don't last
Seems like its hopeless, hobos and homeless
Picking out the chicken make sure the shit is boneless
I never know which ways, what , mite the feather blows
Kill it with a cool breeze chill with the Navajo
Kill it with pick up sticks and the banjos.... And the hand goes
Funny how time flies, without the real goodbyes
In the end it’s all the same
No good comes from pointing blame
We’re not here for long, and you’ve been gone
So It’s time I walk away
I’ll take myself out
Kraken wakes its hard to take
These fantasies , fans for me
Burning up my calories
Why working up the salaries
Apologies, for stepping on your toes
When I'm creeping with the crows
When I flows like a runny nose
Cabin creeks, down bellow!
Hell no, no show , done with hard part
Spitting out bones, like a pit bull guard dog
Fill in the dark parts, worn out like carhartts
Walking all alone with no lights in the car park
Funny how time flies, without the real goodbyes
In the end it’s all the same
No good comes from pointing blame
We’re not here for long, and you’ve been gone
So It’s time I walk away
I’ll take myself out
Bad acting with holes our plot line
Hearts open yet never seen a flat line
Taking liberties be sure to watch your back mind
Stacked lines, that's fine, we always had the best time
It don't matter when your tongue tied and stammering
You still manage, to kick and take a hammering
Yet I’m still standing ,caught with my hand in
The biscuit jar, with sadistic scars
Heart on my sleeve imprisoned by ballistic bars
Good god how you made me laugh
Funny how time flies, without the real goodbyes
In the end it’s all the same
No good comes from pointing blame
We’re not here for long, and you’ve been gone
So It’s time I walk away
I’ll take myself out
Take
Me
Out

Ashes from Fire

Slip and slide
Those things that you believed in
All the things you told yourself you needed
Were so misleading
This is the life
A moment captured
Freezed then
Simplicity is what you see, enough for me
I’m breathing
Take another, take another look
At what you leave on, what you leave on show
Tell only the, tell only the truth
That’s all you need to, all you need to know
Nina , Aretha, Etta, Mary ,Dusty, Leonard, Bob, Neil n still you won't trust me
Read the last pages of the book to get the picture
Got no illustrations, but still get to kiss her
Be sure to lick your finger flicking through the pages
No vivid image not seen you for ages
It's kinda funny that we never really sorted it
Stuck on repeat well guess I just ignored it
Big drift, like school geeks and cool kids
Trampled on the roses but stole your desert orchids
I know I'm not supposed to, you're not opposed too
But if the road stops we can just go through
The glass is half empty, with a big crack down the side
It begs the question, did we really ever die
The numbers on my phone but no money for the credit though
Stumbling on Rolling Stones, let's forget yo
I’ll take my time
To note down all that I've found
New beliefs, realities, and with my feet on the ground
Let myself, shine
With facets bright and clear now
No longer dampened down or hampered
I won’t allow
Take another, take another look
At what you leave on, what you leave on show
Tell only the, tell only the truth
That’s all you need to, all you need to know

Batons and Black Masks
05:23

Lord of the manor, lord of the estate
All of the above, all that is great
Storm in a teacup, these are the breaks
Season the steaks, meat is murder
A sickening scream was the last I heard her
Heard of her she might have heard of me
It was the minus touch on g harassing me
A tragedy, so sad see
Kiss the ring, your majesty
Hold your breath, hold it now
The fires on, the riots out.
CCTV on my couch
Heebie geebies that's what counts
Batons and black masks ready to pounce
Vigilantly, renegade, walking dead
Nikes shuffle through street won't you talk instead
Tapping on tablets aborting threads
I never stole it from JD's I bought the bread
While discussing politics with these polished whips
Nine grand debts for these scholarships
Nine dam deaths in these starting pits
You not deaf dumb blind you’re a part of it
When the gas runs dry well it starts to give
Upper class working class who gives a shit
If Guy Fawkes had a zippo I’d have kissed his lips
I've got a riffle in Eaton and I'm feeling pissed
No forty inch 3D so I'm stealing this
I’ll do it for the people while I pump my fist
Batons and black masks
No questions don't ask
Start fires with face masks and pitch forks
Two sides make sure you pick yours
Who decides if they’re using brute force
I guess the answer comes in due course
