empty
like a glass with no water, a bowl of nothing
take me to the heavens as a carry bag, and bring me back as a parachute
I'll be the apparatus you least expect, the saving grace unrealised

cold to the touch, and unbecoming
death yields little contrast
It is as road-kill to the crows
a sentiment of the things to come

so take heed
crave the light, but tell of the night
a void lingers within the soul
empty

no sediments, just fuzzy nothings
feelings of leisure and talent
delving deep but never arriving
healing lameness, and concluding

why hear the birds
why see the stars
why know beauty
it is as water through a sieve

find yourself estranged
but save others from my vanity
packets of nowhere
empty

Change

Well I can't explain this weather colliding over me
And I guess I can't deny it, some things are meant to be
No I don't have all the pieces, just tryin' to escape
I don't even know boundaries, but I know life sometimes grates

Have a little faith in God
Let your hope stand in change
Have faith in God
Know that things just re-arrange
And when the stormclouds have passed
And you're looking brighter...

Well I can't explain this moment being more than I can see
And I guess I can't rewind it, some things are a part of me
No I don't have all the answers, just tryin' to relate
I don't even know the reason, but I know life's full of mistakes

Have a little faith in God
Let your hope stand in change
Have faith in God
Know that things just re-arrange
And when the stormclouds have passed
And you're looking brighter
You know you will have changed

Status Quo

I don't want to be extreme status quo;
It's not healthy, its not meek, its not me.
I don't want to spend a lifetime perfecting a certain skill, or doing a job well;
It's not life.
I don't want to learn the world and forget a face;
It's an injustice and a tragedy.
I don't want to be extreme status quo;
It's an art I'm not willing to be.

If you'd like to check it out, I've started a new blog called 'raw attitude', and is just drawings.

Emotionable

So fragile amidst the floods of change
Resolute, vanquished, forgotten but laid to waste
From the highest mountain down to the depths of drought
She knows the thought, the feeling, the suspense of emotive embrace

A plummet from the roof-top, zeal forged in brilliance
Compounded structures, one after another, and all is merely said to be
So resilient on the wings of change, soaring!
Emotion has captured my every being, from blindness to now I see

Its joy, its bliss, its ecstasy on a runaway train
Its a trance while remaining conscious, but I will explode if I don't find relief

Out of Tune

was once a time of leisure
we somehow lost it to the deal
was once a time of excitement
but we somehow lost our innocence

and now we don't see it anymore

can you remember the time you failed
and you never looked across the room
because no-one was looking over your shoulder
and it was fun learning out of tune

was once a time of leisure
was once a time of excitement

and now we don't see it anymore

but if you can remember
it was fun learning out of tune

Mountain

Way up high upon this steeple of craze
Lightning and the clouds surround the man in a haze
Don’t have to stare too long and you’ll begin to see
He’s lost all sense of right and become a bit naïve

I’ll tell you the story of, this MOUNTAIN, that MOUNTAIN
I’ll fix it to your eyes, this MOUNTAIN, that MOUNTAIN
I’ll call the sun to shine on, this MOUNTAIN, that MOUNTAIN
And you all know…

Way up high upon this steeple of craze
Lightning and the clouds surround the man in a haze
Ask a simple question: "What is your response?"
He’s been making plans and you’re not in his thoughts

I’ll tell you the story of, this MOUNTAIN, that MOUNTAIN
I’ll fix it to your eyes, this MOUNTAIN, that MOUNTAIN
I’ll call the sun to shine on, this MOUNTAIN, that MOUNTAIN
And you all know…
I’ll tell you the story of, this MOUNTAIN, that MOUNTAIN
I’ll fix it to your eyes, this MOUNTAIN, that MOUNTAIN
I’ll call the sun to shine on, this MOUNTAIN, that MOUNTAIN
And you all know…
And you all know…
And you all know…

The story of, this MOUNTAIN, that MOUNTAIN
[And you all know…]
To your eyes, this MOUNTAIN, that MOUNTAIN
[And you all know…]
Sun shines upon, this MOUNTAIN, that MOUNTAIN
And you all know.
