Idle hands
Idle heart
Idle words that never start
Idle lives
Live idle dreams
And idle dreams can not be seen
An idle mind makes idle thoughts
But idle thoughts can't do a lot
Idle gestures give idle hopes
To idle children and idle folks
Idle oceans make no waves
And idle people make idle slaves
With idle hands
And idle hearts
And idle lives that fall apart
Idle heart
Idle words that never start
Idle lives
Live idle dreams
And idle dreams can not be seen
An idle mind makes idle thoughts
But idle thoughts can't do a lot
Idle gestures give idle hopes
To idle children and idle folks
Idle oceans make no waves
And idle people make idle slaves
With idle hands
And idle hearts
And idle lives that fall apart

Oceans* The refrain of idle gives this a rather dystopian sing song quality, kind of like a Grimm's fairytale. Interesting read, kind of darkly hypnotic. May the new year bring you bounteous blessings.
