Illusion

And if you think your life is complete confusion because your neighbors' got it made...Just remember that it's a Grand Illusion...and deep inside we're all the same.


We're all fucked up and the truth is that even when we've found that which is perfect and the thing sought after for seemingly endless time...we won't want it or be happy with it or grateful to the Universe for offering it to us.

The point being that life is complete confusion and the best we can hope for is fleeting moments of partial clarity.

The rest is bullshit...

GAMES

I don't wanna live here no more
I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life
Quietly fading away

Games people play, you take it or leave it
Things that they say, just don't make it right
If I'm tellin' you the truth right now, do you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night...

APP

So fucking sick and tired of the games. Just leave me the fuck alone! All ya'll

easy

It used to be so easy to be your lover.
We wandered through the days like they had no end
But now that you are gone, I'm undercover
I just can't think about you as a friend.

Take it easy on me
It should be easy to see
I'm getting lost in the crowd
Nearly crying out loud
Just want you to know
I know that you have to go
It's all up to you
But whatever you do
Take it easy on me

-LRB-


I knew that you had to go
but the thing that you didn't know
It's not so easy you see
repeatedly loosing someone special to me
Never asked for the slightest thing
but...look past the surface and see who's within
to much for you to be
I can't be less than the guy...that is me

-Gern-

fools and sages

A guy in crummy old Newport News.
Met a girl who was smart and funny...but was soon off on a cruise.
In two short weeks and four dates she had softened his heart.
She wouldn't believe he could feel this way at the start.

Then she distanced herself from this Newport News dude.
To avoid becoming attached...the chance to brood...
To not have to miss him or wonder what he was about.
Where he might be or with whom he might go out.

He felt she was lucky, was sure as can be
that this tactic could never work for me.
He missed her already...she's not even gone.
Must hide what he felt...endeavor to move on.

Yet he held to a twinkle of hope and cheer.
In three months time this woman so fair.
Might return and give thought to the guy she left here.
And lower her guard without the slightest of care.

behind

one behind, I'm always one behind.
Can't move around, why can't I find?
the will, desire , drive or guts
to live forward and give her my love.

so long now I've thought of the cruelty I find...
So many of us are always one behind.
I'm as bad as the rest. Maybe even worse.
no fun anymore ...fighting this curse..

one behind...I'm one behind
she was so sweet, so loving, so kind
yet I could not find...
the strength to come out from that place or that time
to live forward, to move away from the one left behind.

The pattern so clear
even to a fool like me
now she's the one behind...how can I be free?
How do you move along leaving the rest behind?
Is love a real word? Does it even mean anything?
Should it be stricken from my vocabulary.

So never again
Will I hurt those so dear
So true so beautiful and find
God forgive me...he does
and I just don't get why.

ashes

I close my eyes
only for a moment
and the moment's gone
all my dreams
pass before my eyes a curiosity
dust in the wind
all we are is dust in the wind

And all your money
won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
all we are is dust in the wind
dust in the wind
everything is dust in the wind


Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale
Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Is it over now--do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home.

We are dust and to dust we will return.
So what? Why are the moments of joy so few and far between?
And who would want another minute of this worthless life?
it is very over now, who wants the pieces or the home?
So it's time to move on. Time to take stock
time to leave it all behind...no one will even know

Freedom

We all know that freedom isn't free. But how long must we go on killing each other? The vast majority of the conflicts that result in loss of life stem from a religious authority. Or at least from claims of religious ties. How can we in good conscious decide to kill someone? I think we all as individuals need to stand up and say, "no more!" We don't need to do the evil deeds of the greedy. How does one unite humanity in a mission, not of peace but just of a lack of murder and hate.

I'm probably a simpleton, couldn't we all just choose to get along? The individuals are too removed from the responsibility of what goes on in these wars. If our leaders can't exhibit a conscious perhaps we all as individuals need to. Wouldn't that bring about the most amazing rapid halt to it all?
