Gloves

an easy chair,
not always the promise of an easy life
it only guarantees your paycheck will
always be on time

the souls in your seat they fit like a glove
their chair is crippled, old doesn't fit
is like that old glove

your chair,
it cannot be touched, and they're waitin'
for those gloves to come off

and when they do,
your chair won't feel as easy as it should
your seat will be torn apart

A silence

all I want is
to think come to terms
with my surroundings
where I don't  find a will
to listen to the silence
I bear

a silence is in me
keeps me out of reach
out of touch
guards my secrets
a silence is in me

so I struggle on
fighting  contradiction
in a process of regaining
a balance in my soul
I need...
'cause a silence
is in me

regaining my security
is all I need to get by
this silence will leave me
in its retreat
free on the mend
I'll step in to life again

a silence was in me
kept me out of reach
out of touch
it will always leave
a silence was in me

There was thunder

 

 

 

 

 

a

 

woman can kill with so much

 

as

 

a

 

breath of love

 

a

 

woman

 

can kill with a look, love with an embrace

 

cry in the shade

 

a

 

woman

 

can kill with so much as a gentle touch

 

 

feel

 

the coldness of her arms, see the chill in her eyes

 

the

 

hate when she smiles, still she speaks of love

 

which

 

she

 

promissed but easily forgot

 

 

 

whatever

 

reason took her love, it wasn't completely lost

 

like

 

a

 

desease some of it never leaves, a faint  feeling remains

 

disturbing in fact, 'cause it doesn;t rest

 

 

always

 

a

 

stir a movement is there

 

she

 

knows it all too well, leaves her in despair

 

'cause

 

strong the hate, it's done in passion, love its name

 

 

 

her

 

strenght weakening, comin in for the kill

 

close to total surrender

 

there

 

was

 

thunder

Inspired Men

 

 

they call the shots, have all the men

 

to change a nation, in whatever they want

 

 whatever they choose

 

 

they're inspired men

 

change what they can, a lifestyle, culture, change ordinairy men

 

they're inspired men

 

 

cheatin'' one out of ten

 

foul play is their plan, controll your mind , move of your hand

 

these inspired men

 

 

countries, a world,  with so much as a touch

 

so much as a glance,

 

inspired

 

these

 

men

 

 

not playin' for dimes, for somethin' on the side

 

it's not what they want, actually not their style

 

they take a bigger slice

 

 

never seen, never known, 

 

never

 

reach a front page, no face is there to show

 

these inspired men

 

rule by the stroke of a pen , about  your sweet short life

 

might

 

you happen to cross where their excistence

 

lies
