things are no longer where I left them

looking round I don't recognise any of this.

where are those naive creature comforts

must have misplaced the child hood bliss

still I can replace them on paper

exchange them for modern day distractions

with a mind that has a tendency to wonder

we'll make excuses of our actions

our papermache future has begun to crumble

and we are left breathing in the dust

the rain wont help the ground to settle

theres no where for our feet to trust

next nature wont take our bribes

theres no affordable offset

i see the crazy in your eyes

every single conscious mind looking equally desperate.

policy policy on the wall

all that effort

pay to offset your dependancy

look a

plant another tree

overt you beady little ey

no amount of water

will stop the

as part of your existence

the rain is heavier in the silence

let desire leave footprints

in those everyday requirements

they creep like theres no tomorrow

dont let yourself sink down into the soil

admit defeat and theres no recoil

they creep like theres nooooo like theres no tomorrow

woke up on the wrong side of my head

got a little off track

it appear to me that playing dead

is the best form of attack

their words are as brittle as the surface of this earth we walk on

fleeting expulsions of air which have minimal cause and even less affect

we pray for someone to make a change step up to the plate

what can we do? but they work for us, dont you forget that!

i dont know if you noticed

theres a sign upon the wall

its hanging there for a while now

with no acknowledgements at all

I don't break apart those tiny words

those tiny words that creep like bees

we you just hoping to travel here

by holding a thumb up to the breeze

I can't look and nor should you

nor should you and yet you do

spell your name in strawberry lace

strawberry lace for all your sins

thou shalt break upon the rocks

upon the hopes they sail in

the sneak of it

vines of truth don't grow at all

cracks appear in the ever crumbling

supporting wall

lash to lash

spirals spin from the edge of crows feet

lines I would trust

if they didn't look so hungry

a social ghost

chills the air in this home

miles away there is a corpse

undead and rolling in fortune

a simple gesture

and a lure of absence

there is no place like home

to evade any relevance

on the edge of their seats

rising damp, rising doubt

a meeting of minds

when no ones about

a shadowy figures

dances over an active imagination

those stories we've all heard

come back with vengeance

See the world differently Mostly in double No man recorded in history Has ever drunk them self out of trouble I wish I could But I guess I never will I don't make the rules my friend If I did they'd be more clear Instead I'm in this tangled mess No idea what I'm doing here I wish I could But I guess I never will tried to take a moment but lost a couple of years people said I got caught up in it I think I just disapeared i wish i could but i guess i never will

shoot the arrow up into the air

sometime they come straight back down but its very rare

Don't you move don't you go no where

its probably all ok

A little risk goes a long long way

be it fuel for the fire or just a wind of change

if you don't try will things remain

are you content with just OK

Ride this life like one big old wave

got to keep moving forwards but you can carve you're way

I know sometimes its a struggle to stay

afloat but your not alone.

I'm not saying make your life harder

just try and hold your own

be fighter, make some choices

instead of being dragged along

its play games to make us happy

I'm not trying to make life harder

just trying to shake things up

so tired of going round in circles

think I'll a run a muck

agency approval

these devices

tick as if they know

they don't know

but I do

burry the emphasis

into the stone

you want pretty stories

they just want you

helpless helper

in sync friend

conspire against me

once again

mutter mutter cough and splutter

found your promise in the gutter

awkward moment

CHORUS

your in my way as I beg for simplicity

carelessly hand over my agency

the alternative is so much effort so

who could blame me who could blame me

Some things are just broken

no need to try and fix them

when upside down becomes the norm

no one is ever gonna listen

ther

theres no need to look closer

just except that they can't be fixed

The most enthusiastic

I can't hear myself think

grey matter saturation

whole heartedly wired in

engaged in mass conversation

stripped of physicality

you wouldn't like the real me

cumbersome and slow

but now I am self 2.0

I know where you live

ascii stranger

may as well be blood

we share the same meta data

you know where I live

ascii stranger

faster and faster

we are becoming singular

hash tag happy

just enough to share

so many connections

that go no where

i cant prove a thing

but I know they are watching

the glow is seeping, creeping

and more than just breaking in

its my every movement

and probably yours

a chorus of individuals

just

i find my self sometimes

in no frame of mind

venting my frustration

on useless stuff that I find

little bits of plastic

or rocks down a mine

looking for an outlet

a yes or no

would have suffice

but don't they say complication

is the spice of life

of course the world still turns

a simple yes or no

would have suffice

theres no sense in

beating around the bush

another brick wall

vs wrecking ball

emergency evacuation

but please don't push

is there any room

for one content moron

just a pint of water

and a floor to lie on

its feels as though

I have stumbled home

lets wage war

mind vs body

it takes speed and direction

to gain velocity

if I could be anything

this is who I want to be

close the door

stop the heat from leaving here

who could want for more

with friends like this

we will never be poor

i i i just want to stay up and talk

not rest my eyes

a long way from home

not that Ive noticed yet

A simple yes or no

would have suffice

but a dance around truths

is equally nice

i wonder if anybody

anywhere

has ever 100%

put themselves out there

another celebration

subtle masked parade

this beverage tastes bitter

but they say its lemonade

gulp it down

and everything else

life is compromise

half man half mouse

angst is
