Jack & Jill

Sitting in a hole, waiting for the train
Too tired to feel this old, too late to start again
I leave my life behind, ruined by my hand
No-one to blame this time, I'm forsaken in this land

And everything is changing
All around it's blazing
You turned my whole world upside down
With all my heart I'm yearning
But it won't stop the burning
Now all our love's burnt to the ground

Under the blazin sun, my heart's forever charred
My nights go on and on, my days are dark and tarred
With every tear I hide, I drown the memory
But where the fire died it burnt a hole in me

And everything is changing
All around it's blazing
You turned my whole world upside down
With all my heart I'm yearning
But it won't stop the burning

Now all our love's burnt to the ground

And everything is changing
All around it's blazing
You turned my whole world upside down
With all my heart I'm yearning
But it won't stop the burning
Now all our love's burnt to the ground

Signal Disrupted

The bats are free of the belfry;

The crushing weight is gone now,

Only the emptiness remains.

 

The roads we cannot avoid

Become the ones we walk alone.

Each step takes you farther and farther from your home,

Then one day

 You no longer recognize the face in the mirror.

 

Each year cuts off another slice,

You don’t see them go

You feel their absence when they’re gone,

Coldness grows within becoming the hard clarity

Denying the vision of the minds eye,

Left with only the bitterness

Chases the bile down the throat.

 

Some meetings carve their mark

So deep

Inside

That

No length of days

Dull the feeling

Left behind.

 

Would haves,

Should haves,

And could haves

Decorate the walls of those memories,

Moving paintings telling stories that never were.

 

So much lies beneath the surface

I cannot shake it free.
