One Place

Motorists in
Knotted posture
The Shepherd drives his flock
Through gated pasture
Eat the grass
grow your hair long
The Time will pass
Before too long
I can’t stay in one place too long
I Turn away as comfort comes a long
We may never know
We may never know
How to navigate
One day we will know
One day we will know
How to levitate
Mind off the usual weight
Take flight and live above mistakes
I can’t stay in one place too long (too long)
I Turn away as comfort comes a long (along)

Legs

My outlook
Is Changing
All around
As I’m still
Limbs locked
In anchor
Trade new lungs for
Old gills
Hidden within
Pools left to stagnate
Standing too long to
Wash with the tide
Outgrow these legs
That fix me to the ground
Body devolve
Returning inside
Man into fish, I make the wish to
Release deterrents
Fully immerse in
Drift with the current
Surrounded in sea
Give up the ghost I’m in control
Roll with the motions
Awash In The ocean
self in erosion
I’m no longer me
I no longer need
these legs to be
I’m no longer me
Hidden within
Pools left to stagnate
Standing too long now
Wash with the tide
Outgrow these legs
That fix me to the ground
Body devolve
Returning inside
Learning to die
We’re all but heavy stones
Sunk into a pond thrown, Rippling
We’re all but heavy stones
Sunk into a pond thrown, Rippling
We’re all but heavy stones
Sunk into a pond thrown, Rippling
We’re all but heavy stones
Sunk into a pond thrown, Rippling

Fable

Penny up, throw your best,
chances at the wall.
in abrupt, cryptic test
Attempting to recall
Speak in codes,
In ceremony.
Oblique inroads
To sanctimony
Cards laid on the table
talking to you
Falling for a fable
Make it come true
Is it really yourself you see
Or fantasy you’ve come to need
Still waters clearly
Looking through you
Author of a vision marked in self fulfilling prophecy
Prosper as your sight turns dark, a vessel willing to receive
Speak in codes,
In ceremony.
Oblique inroads
To sanctimony
Cards laid on the table
talking to you
Falling for a fable
Make it come true
Is it really yourself you see
Or fantasy you’ve come to need

Bottom Feeders

I’ll take your scraps
Your leftovers
I’ll eat your apathy
And cold shoulders
I’ll Take what I can get
And what comes my way
Sinking to the ocean floor
Where the bottom feeders lay
Sinking to the ocean floor
Where the bottom feeders prey
You’d rather believe
rather believe
rather believe
rather believe
You’ll never sink beneath to
Dive in the deep
Dive in the deep
Dive in the deep
Dive in the deep
The undergrowth will bloom to
consume you
circling life above the surface
waiting still for you to drop below
winter falls marine snow softly
Sinking to the ocean floor
Where the bottom feeders prey
You’d rather believe
rather believe
rather believe
rather believe
You’ll never sink beneath to
Dive in the deep
Dive in the deep
Dive in the deep
Dive in the deep
The undergrowth will bloom to
consume you

Fanfare
announcing in brass
This day’s for you.
there, there
it’s your time at last
a king from fool.
suddenly you’re the talk of the town,
the washed up clown with a paper crown
but it’s all grand to you
in with the the ranks of the royalty,
You bark above your pedigree,
they pet you all the same.
My fond friend,
they see right through you
Their simple jest
they pretend
to adore you
a passing interest
Now come on off it,
your cloud will collapse.
with Your head so high
Fall from the sky
tomorrow’s back to play the fool again
Come to settle on the credit drawn from your account
Your reign’s passed now you make amends
Claim you’re reformed,
balanced before you hit the ground
Fanfare
Farewell
