No flowers withered
At death's knell
The world was still
As his eyelids fell.
The lightbulbs glowed
And they did not flicker
The air was quite still
And did not grow thicker.
But inside. Man, insid…
Yo,
I made this one untitled and I'm being honest why
In this world of fight or flight I've got a forest in my eye
Wood I remove it by moving my morals to act consistently
Sure would! But my groove …
It is a singular delight
To find one with which you share a passion and flame.
As you both shine bright
With whom you need to feel no shame.
Far to often, we enjoy
Hiding ourselves and our inspirati…
"Hold on, be brave" - the eternal maternal refrain.
Taught to be thought, implanted in every infant.
The most meticulous mantra, made in the mind.
To be repeated eternally for every tough situation you'…
I've been lost in space many times
Misplaced my way and trespassed lines
It's fine. I guess.
Sometimes I leave a mess
But mostly, it's for the best.
Because it's only by going places we aren't meant to
Tha…
You're heartbroken again, aren't you?
You've seen life's turmoils through and through
Well don't worry. After all it should be plain to see
There's always plenty more fish in the sea
(This line was said…
This fragile mind was meant for only one end.
See, this fragile mind, it was meant to bend.
Though it's so very easy to snap and shatter
Particularly for thoughts that matter
It must stand strong, must …
I've never seen a man change their mind in anger
Not while they're screaming 'hang him' and 'hang her'
If they hate your message *and* they hate your guts
Do you think they'll ever admit to being a klu…
Life is on hold
And feelings are cold
You have to be bold
'til a decision is made
You'll start to stress
Just do you best!
You can do nothing less
'til a decision is made
So hang on tight
Stay up …
I lay dying.
I should have been laid dead. But I lay dying.
I saw Death beside me. I saw her outstretched hand.
She did not force the handshake.
She never normally needed to.
Most accepted it willingly, …
I'm a seed, nuture me
So I can grow to a tree
Take my place in forestry
And start to develop properly
As I begin grow into my property
Because when I wake each day I see
This place I live and rest my head…
This is the lament of the voter, let me be bold
To experience this just once, before I am old
I don't want to vote out of fear
I don't want to vote out of fear
I don't want to have to vote cause I'm sca…
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Quickly clicks the clock
Millis Seconds Hours Days
Till our ending ways
Time is passing, Never lasting
Speeding fast, forever asking
What you're doing, Why you're waiting
Should be purs…
[Verse 1]
Back to this street where we began
Feeling you could have left something, you know
Yeah we're not feeling good
Picking up things you shouldn't need
It looks like the end of the trip as we k…
Are contentment and boredom synonyms?
I mean this question only honestly
I'm going to take charge, go out on a limb
And say the answer is no. Well, mostly
There's no doubt overlap twixt these cases
When …
"Ladies and Gentleman. Please be ready.
The ride is about to begin.
Get ready for the world to move by fast
Because none of you are strapped in"
I've heard it said, that life is the journey
That was the …
Being an adult is hard.
Mostly, because you never get a welcome card.
There's never instructions, in pencil or pen
On what to do or who to befriend.
You know that stupid question adults always want to a…
You think you're great mate, acting all aggro?
Turning up late and sat to chat in the back row?
Slave to no man they've never got your attention
Even though you know you'll just end up in detention
For …
I always have two lungfuls of air
To give away at a moments notice.
That if anyone should care
I know that I can gift this.
I waste so much of every day
Spend so much time between living
That I will…
I saw an old man, yelling to a crowd
For his age, he seemed strong and proud
He shivered with energy, full of fight
Though his tone throughout was only polite
He told terrific tales, beyond that sanity …
