Lay back Let it happen
Remember to breathe
crossing
that twitch before
dyings itch
Gasping
dry wretch
Pulled back away
Lay back let it happen
Kaleidoscopic mathematical equations
Clowns exploding confetti
Somewhere a warm hug
All those bright lights smiling
Remember to breathe
crossing
that twitch before
dyings itch
Gasping
dry wretch
Pulled back away
Lay back let it happen
Kaleidoscopic mathematical equations
Clowns exploding confetti
Somewhere a warm hug
All those bright lights smiling
Remember to breathe

Remember those times
When the colours where brighter
It's a choice
Positive stinking
No need to swim in the mire
Negativity
The outlook of life's journey
all the same
Slowly dying
In these moments known
as now
Living or decaying
It's a choice
It's a choice
Positive stinking
No need to swim in the mire
Negativity
The outlook of life's journey
all the same
Slowly dying
In these moments known
as now
Living or decaying
It's a choice

Comedy, Cest la vie
Funny
Slow emotion replay
Coffee mug
Thrown at face .25 speed
Well
That sure as fuck wasn't expresso
Visualise
Kindness hurling back
Shattered
Glass neath tattered soles
Again
Picked up those shards
Bloody
Festering putrid scars
Enough
The game is over
Slow emotion replay
Coffee mug
Thrown at face .25 speed
Well
That sure as fuck wasn't expresso

Kindness hurling back
Shattered
Glass neath tattered soles
Again
Picked up those shards

When looking in your eyes
At the bus station
Friday
That day our eyes first caught
the others reflection
A grayish blue
was the hue
The compassion of one that runs
to pick up a fallen companion
Behind blue eyes though
We hide our shadows
If that which is concealed
for what ever the reason maybe
Can not be discarded
then surely it shall return
Howling
Haunting
creeping
Clawing at the very essence within
Over the years watching you battle
Through the trauma
the agony
the scars...

I was a healer
They gave me a gun
Shoot to kill
No hesitate
These broken bones
seeping wounds
Sutures
Poultice
Tourniquet
The true healer
Discriminate not
Friend or foe
Seek refuge
Sanctuary
Unwanted guests
Shot in the head
Till then
I was a healer
Shoot to kill
No hesitate
These broken bones
seeping wounds
Sutures
Poultice
Tourniquet
The true healer
Discriminate not
Friend or foe
Seek refuge
Sanctuary
Unwanted guests
Shot in the head
Till then
I was a healer

Tried to talk to you
In the porcelain twilight dark flambé
Shouted over all
Steered the conversation about you
You
Screamed
Raged
Shouted some more
Why?
Is there a point to all this
Another log on this here pyre
Embers pirouette
Circling
The subsiding tide
Later you asked
Are you OK
Just be repeating what's already been said
Retreated back to silent solitude
Shouted over all
Steered the conversation about you
You
Screamed
Raged
Shouted some more
Why?

Can't somebody love you just enough?
All that crippling hate
Masked behind false bravado
Projected out like stilleto to heart
All those tales song bird
Care to describe that living hell
Sad but true
No pleasing you
Hatred never serves well
A cruel master
Rather
Behind blacked eyes
How does one sedate such pain
Loathing
Seething
Despise?
Heard suffering is like currency
Silent misery
Strange bedfellows
If only a beating chest was enough
to mop the tears up
Can't...
Masked behind false bravado

Chopped Onions
So nobody sees me cry
Cubed a few potatoes
why not
The endeavour carries on
Chillies and sweet peppers
Heated textures don't you know
Blood red tomatoes
Need more be said?
Bacon
Salami all sliced
Diced thrice
Oil in the pan
Medium heat
Enticing scents
Lingering throughout
For seasoning
A shotglass full of tears
Non the wiser
Cubed a few potatoes
why not
The endeavour carries on
Chillies and sweet peppers
Heated textures don't you know
Blood red tomatoes

Salami all sliced
Diced thrice

Lingering throughout

Willing risen

Singing is easy when ya drinking
This rain cares not for teardrops
Nor the blood soaked Eire of Irish rebel song(s)
White niggers
Black n tan
Slavery never left
Every race
Knows the thunders roar
Beneath the overlords lash
Ask the indentured servants
Seven year olds
Sweeping chimney
Down claustrophobic mine shaft
Nor the blood soaked Eire of Irish rebel song(s)
White niggers
Black n tan
Slavery never left
Every race
Knows the thunders roar
Beneath the overlords lash
Ask the indentured servants
Seven year olds
Sweeping chimney
Down claustrophobic mine shaft
