hush now
seal your lips
no more quivering fingertips
spent spirit
racing tension...
give me your soft attention
we take a slow pace
within this s***e
waters are calm
ripe for reflection
don't quench the quiet with worry
self pity will tow you under-
stand what we have is an ebb and flow
treasure what comes
be rich when it goes
pain has it's uses
past the moan
when you recognize the shoulder you cry on
is your own
i know at times
it gets too lonely
cuts so big
the night starts to squeeze
no fair, no fair
my words don't mean s***
in your despair
slow your blood
it's too far ahead
to appreciate the pain
of an ego unfed
no need to wait for the sun on time
light the candles
animate shadows
echoing blues
in the bowels of their flames
flirting with darkness
dancing with ghosts
romancing memories
in mental frames
here's your treasure
locked in yesterday
here's your treasure
locked in time
here's you treasure
locked in yesterday
you'll be a richer man
when you give it away
when every thought is all at once
heartbeat falls behind the mind
too vast, too loud
to listen to the cogs
when they start to grind
sometimes we all forget how to breathe
sometimes we all forget how to breathe
sometimes we actually have to ask ourselves
how are we feeling?
take a deep
breath
I believe at times
that life is a megaphone
that's pointed up towards the sky
it shouts "I don't know why"
when times are evil
"you don't have to"
comes the reply
but you'll forgive then
don't forget then
count to ten
and get on with the next then...
seal your lips
no more quivering fingertips
spent spirit
racing tension...
give me your soft attention
we take a slow pace
within this s***e
waters are calm
ripe for reflection
don't quench the quiet with worry
self pity will tow you under-
stand what we have is an ebb and flow
treasure what comes
