When it's over...

Sets

This Darkness sets in to a bright room
My mind wanders down roads I'd rather not go
These thoughts and dreams of boring lives
and wedding cakes
and the death of creativity
I fear and loathe that road

I see the years pass before my eyes
My past meets my present and the two do not recognize each other
They have nothing to say
And neither do I
Its funny how roads split and take you places you've never imagined
I'm alone and comfortably disturbed
Shadows fall upon me and I'd have it no other way

Years, tears, fears and beer.
What better way to waste a life
Names on pages of records
tasteless fantasies
daydreams
impossible dreams
and now
movie screens...

enjoy..

But careful what you're giving.

As your bony fingers close around me

Long and spindly death becomes me

Heaven, can you see what I see?

Hey, you pale and sickly child

You're death and living reconciled

Been walking home a crooked mile

Paying debt to karma 

You party for a living

What you take won't kill you

But careful what you're giving

Can you feel a little love?

Can you feel a little love?

Dream on, dream on

There's no time for hesitating

Pain is ready, pain is waiting

Primed to do it's educating

Unwanted uninvited kin

It creeps beneath your crawling skin

It lives without, it lives within you

Feel the fever coming

You're shaking and twitching

You can scratch all over

But that won't stop you itching

Can you feel a little love?

Can you feel a little love?

Dream on, dream on

Blame it on your karmic curse

Or shame upon the universe

It knows its lines, it's well rehearsed

It sucked you in, it dragged you down

To where there is no hallow ground

Where holiness is never found

Paying debt to karma you party for a living

What you take won't kill you

But careful what you're giving

Can you feel a little love?

Can you feel a little love?

Dream on, dream on

As Poets, we did not have limitations

The divine is off limits to experimental science, because God is not of the nature of space-time. God's dimension is eternity, a dimension that has no beginning, no end, and no change.
