tangents on time, for arya (pt.2)
Ask for me the stars, what time it is where they may be.
Ask for me the comets, when tomorrow is.
Ask the hourglass what sound a moment makes when passing,
But don’t tell me what answer it might give.
Ask for me the hills and rivers, if they count the days.
Ask for me the oceans, if they rue the past.
Ask for me these things, but do not tell me till I go,
Where I will find out for myself, at last.
Ask for me the comets, when tomorrow is.
Ask the hourglass what sound a moment makes when passing,
But don’t tell me what answer it might give.
Ask for me the hills and rivers, if they count the days.
Ask for me the oceans, if they rue the past.
Ask for me these things, but do not tell me till I go,
Where I will find out for myself, at last.

Don’t Call Me ‘Babe’
x2 (Don’t call me babe,
I’m not your babe)
[v.1]
Sexy lines?
Nah, I’m fine.
Have some fun with you?
(Your abs, my ass,
Are those really pickup lines?)
[v.2]
Take off all of those clothes,
Wanna see your silhouette.
(If you’re staring at me,
I think you’re kind of a creep)
[hook]
(Did you know, you’re an adult?
And I’m not your next plaything)
Oh now, you say you saved me?
So that I can have someone to love
(I know we’re in the club,
But all I wanna do is dance) ...
I’m not your babe)
[v.1]
Sexy lines?
Nah, I’m fine.

my line unwrapped
Words all jumbled, like spagetti
pen at start, now I'm ready
word of love to impress a lady
melt, her cold, cold, heart
She that grass and you the rake
try to groom, to ordered state
polishing to delicate or intimate
somethin smokin, somethin tart
But she's the bitch that has you fettered
writing lines that cant be bettered
hook, line and sinker
in a pose, like Rodin's Thinker
no stop button, when you start
For that mile was so uncharted
hesitant you stumble onward
that leap of faith,...

Safe in the Starlight Gaze
Safe in the starlight gaze,
There you lie,
Clear through the sunlight glades,
I saw you fly,
Heaven has taken one more to it’s breast
Why must it leave us here, and take the best?
Heaven help you as you go your way,
Why could you not be allowed to stay?
There you lie,
Clear through the sunlight glades,
I saw you fly,
Heaven has taken one more to it’s breast
Why must it leave us here, and take the best?

Written to TDSOTM Nayz
Vision blue tinted
Imprinted new image
Sunlight's become too bright to fight the pillage
Mind's eye infected
Hindsight collected
Even with that knowledge I can't find protection
Red pilled and fed, still a mess
Head filled with stress
Regrets still regress any steps I progressed
Reps that I press and the rest that I get barely stretch to correct all the debt on my head
Chest not convex
Connect with depression
Anxious and vexed
Dangers that crept
Post-trauma...

Johnnie Fox's
They all came a calling
At the crossroads of Glencullen
Where the boys bunked off Sunday mass
Eddie was the barman
Preacher, singer, showman
At Fox’s Chapel of the Sunday lash
No, tomorrow to fear
It’s not welcome up here
In the highest part of the town
But the garda won’t mind
Because it’s a hard place to find
At Fox’s Chapel of the Sunday lash
Eddie’s shouts of last call
Brought moans from them all
As tomorrow reared its ugly head
Then they all left a falling
At the crossroads of Glencullen
From Fox’s...

Cave
I'm looking for a light
At the end of a cave
Throughout the night
And throughout the day
I open my eyes
I see my life
No good goodbyes
And I'll tell you why
The storm will come
It will cause you pain
Your body feels numb
You need to be safe
I'm looking for a light
At the end of a cave
Throughout the night
And throughout the day
The ground is wet
I feel the rain
All my regret
Still feels the same
The night gets cold
As time will wane ...
At the end of a cave
Throughout the night
And throughout the day
I open my eyes
I see my life
No good goodbyes
And I'll tell you why
The storm will come
It will cause you pain
Your body feels numb
You need to be safe
I'm looking for a light
At the end of a cave
Throughout the night
And throughout the day
The ground is wet
I feel the rain
All my regret
Still feels the same
The night gets cold
As time will wane ...

Cry the tears
Verse
Don't wanna hear your anxt, no more,
heard it it once, heard it all before,
Verse
I know your mamma left you,
and that must've hurt,
and your daddy spent your childhood,
locked up in Leavenworth,
Pre-chorus
but you gotta let it go, quit asking why,
aint it time to feel the pain and cry,
Chorus
Gotta cry the tears, you should've cried,
gotta feel the pain, deep down inside,
quit looking at me, for a place to hide,
gotta cry the tears, you should've cried,
Verse
crocodile tears, are...

The well beaten path (Neil Peart tribute)
You know, you know, in just a second
The intro and its ring
Its reaching in, that solid underpin
The osmosis: of his arms like beating wings
He was the king of sticks and skin
Chorus
You waved your wands on golden pond
From this world to that beyond
A shake down for that great man
That thing that eats, with a smile dead pan
Decay, destroy a core
Rush's centrepiece, the guilt of shining flare
His drumsticks now bereft, of that maestro's, magic blur
Like a great ring master
That he controls the floor
And they...

You were my rock between those hard places
Verse
When money was tight
and there wasn't much light,
at the end of the tunnel, I'd cry,
Verse
God never paid the rent,
but every dime,seemed heaven sent,
and somehow we got by,
Verse
took a piece of my soul,
when they stopped mining coal,
down in East Texas,
Verse
the Devil on our shoulders,
felt like sandstone Boulders,
but we never let him vex us,
Chorus
We lived on baked beans,
and out of suit cases,
we shopped in Walmart,
they...

Graves
I walked up on three graves one night
While wandering alone
I looked down at the darkness and I saw what might have gone
The three of us laying low and cold inside the graves I saw
But after some contemplation lord
I wanted to lay down
I wanted to lay down oh lord!
And take my final rest
For this old world is wearin me down
I’m far from doing my best
The grave in front of me ran low
It’s sorrows washed away
The grief and pain of mortal life
What I would give to dance with death but only for one night
To...

Mock Giants (learn me to rap!)
What's holy when shit's flowin'?
Scratching claws to chalkboard
pussies beat boxen' hard
So much dead wood
rap like they should
They be giants
trying not to act small
Overtaking
not to take a fkn fall
It takes an ostrich, man
to get head in the sand
Big bird buyin' a band
takin' no mere man's hand
Did rats just steal an easel
From a frickin weasel?
Where's the edible woods?
Chop up them wordy goods!
To express that I slay
is to under-spray
the toothy...
