He was an acquaintance to many, a friend to nearly none
Used to be a laugh
used to be fun
But when the sun crossed that hill
Oh they say, they say
He liked to stay up late
till the gray
Strumming chords
Letting them records play
But when the morning comes
The day already done
He was a blast with a drink
Never in the morning Sun
Ashen grey
Mainsail lowered , done
When the night it comes
They say they say
They say
Good with his word
Though he seldom granted one
To pry out a basic hello
Odds were close to none
But when he went
Went away they
They say they say they say
Oh they say
They said
It was natural causes
Bring on the pink elephants
Climbing through the walls

Young And Foolish

Though I’m no longer young n foolish
Decisions they wrestle my mind
One foot ahead while the other behind
Bend in the pathway to find
We’ve only just found our footing
Earth it trembles and glides
Feel it shake as she struggles to find
Course through the timeless divide
Oh these gears
They’re starting to grind
Shadows on the walls growing longer
Days they shorten and bind p
Traces of those times in front and behind
False memories enshrined
Where is the will for the movement
Valleys and mountains to climb
Up the hill with more rolling behind
Cliff side the only respite
Oh these gears
They’re starting to grind
And the nights grow long
Unkind expanse stretches on
And on …..
Solos
Though I’m no longer young and foolish.
Decisions they wrestle my mind
What should have been learned
Logic deterred
Or what passed for it at the time

Atoms Astray
04:04
|

Peek through the haze
Thoughts gone gray
Less in the way
Feeling won’t stay
No better things to say
Atoms astray
Come out and play
Shut me away
Conscience to pay
You’re the prison
I’m the chains
Day’s gone away
Ghosts they do play
A creak down the hall
Dare there we go
I’m the candle
You’re the tray
Swimming closer
Water thick with regret
Passing pools of slight
Turn away
from the gray and stay
Come at me carefully
I’m not a doorway
But a lock you pick with
strength and care beware
Sallow for the fair
Forrest for the air
Clear a path to dare
Prepare
Peek through the haze
Thoughts gone gray
Less in the way
Feeling won’t stay
No better things to say
Day’s gone away
Ghosts they do play
A creak down the hall
Dare there we go
I’m the candle
You’re the tray
Sallow for the fair
Forrest for the air
Clear a path to dare
Prepare

Where Do I Go
04:08
|

Where do I go when the partiers they linger
Crowding the halls
Smoke rings & laughter
Where do I go
Does the lift take me up
Or send me down the hole
To the car park of the soul
Sing do they sing
In a room just out of view
Running through my hands
The time it takes to get there
Where do I go when the room found is empty
Melody only drifting
Soft radio through the walls
Reach only reach
Hands grasp at nothing
Look do we see
Smoke slowly lifting
Morning breaks the haze away
Where do I go
When the records no longer play
Needle ground down
No chance of replacement
A rock is thrown
Skips across water before sinking down
To-re-join the stone of its origin
Reach only reach
Hands grasp at nothing
Straining to see
Smoke only thickens
Night brings the haze
into frame
———————
Swim to the beach
Under pursuit of longing
Sleep in the trees
Thick in the unwinding
Morning breaks the praise
into shame
Where do I go
When the partiers they linger
Ghosts in the halls
Sheet covered banister
Where do I go
When the revelry has drifted
To some other soul’s
Only retreat at lost/found found

Go on spin the bottle
Anticipate where it lands
Fumble in your hustle
Head out keys in hand
The trails of a lifetime
Weathered and crumpled map
Tales of hesitation
Contemplation
Drink and sin
Chop the wood, not your own head
You let the man employ you
Gave him your back and tread
Face into the gravel
Hours and moments dead
You cursed him up the alley
Where the loud music fogged your head
Bottles and smoke surround you
Slaps on the back well said
Oh chop the wood, not your own head
Your sire fed your anger
Cold rage spirit bred
Couldn’t toss a ball to save his skin
Failure on levels red
Your daughter glares right through you
Maternal arms they thread
She speaks in whispers glancing to
Echos down the hallway blend
Oh chop the wood, not your own head
Oh but the lantern kicks on
Clear the bottles till dawn
Find the path there…
Flirted with stars and religion
Jesus, he’s your friend
Not just your mate or a brother
Knows every thought in your head
He likes the bleak ones the best
Feeds them with guilt/regret
Makes you a deal you should refuse
Golden gates locked shut: repent
Oh, chop the wood, not your own head
These days your smile is hollow
But you smile just the same
TV light does flicker
Stroll the corridor to bed
Oh but your dreams distress you
Awaken you in the chill
Cold hands still embrace you
As morning unfurls still
Oh chop the wood, not your own head
Now upon the cliff’s edge
Where the horizon meets the black
Just one slip, or a jump at that
Seconds left to fret
But in you step there’s an engine
Burning from the cry of self
Handful full of gravel - toss it now
The man he’s too dense to duck
Oh, chop the wood, not your own head
Oh but the lantern
Kicks on
Clear the bottles till dawn
Banish them spirits
headlong
Clear the bottles till dawn
Find the path there
