Pigeon

He held a hand out
For the vagrant
Will the media seize the moment
He is the dollar for the beggar
He is a guidance for the errant
He is a father for the orphan
He’s a feather for the burdened
He put an end to all the problems
In the world in a second
He fed the poor one after the other
Each and every single soul
He fed them all one after the other
A requiem for famine
He fed the poor one after the other
each and every single bird
He fed them all one after the other
Pigeon by pigeon by pigeon
They had a fanfare marching powered
by the honor of their donor
They had the drummers beating louder
Will it cover for the violence
They had the trumpets blowing higher
than the heinous of their Highness
And then the pigeons they all gathered
Cannon fodder for the effort
One is a donor and the other is a donee
One is a donor and no other

Quicksand

Into quicksand
I got pins, needles in my legs
Into quicksand
I got ants up to my shoes and pants
Into quicksand
Hold my hand as I’m sinking in
Into quicksand
I’m a sphinx riddled with the silt
Oh / No !
Into quicksand
A billion grains like a swarm of bees
Into quicksand
Up to my neck, I asphyxiate
Into quicksand
Hold my breath as I disappear
Into quicksand
Like the tip of the pyramids
Oh / No !
Into quicksand
Seeing snakes crawling in my brain
Into quicksand
Boiling blood, venom in my veins
Into quicksand
Burning sands, as I run in vain
Into quicksand
To a mirage dancing in the haze
oh / No !
Into quicksand

Tether
02:49
|

|
Another night inside this kennel
Will reach the bottom of this barrel
Around my heart there ain’t no barrier
So why on earth am I still tethered ?
Inner river
I got my mantras / I got my blinkers
I’m on a run to break this tether
This mindful game left me to drivel
Back to my bowl / my one companion
Inner river

Betty

Betty I
I’ll be home soon
Betty when I arrive
Let’s not argue
If I need a different music
If you need a different light
If we need a different story
To get us through the night / through the night
Betty I
I still see you
Walking into town
By my window
Reading a different story
Beaming to different lights
Dancing to different music
To get you through the night / through the night

The Crowd
04:59
|

|
This house is getting colder
The walls are paper thin
The creaks are moving closer now
The halls are haunting me
A still girl waiting for me
Up there in the attic
The party is happening somewhere else
Somewhere in the arctic
I’ll get lost in the crowd
I’ll get lost in the crowd and you won’t find me out
I’ll get lost in the sound
I’ll get lost in the sound and you won’t hear me
This pillow is infested
With mice and taunting dreams
This bed is left adrift
The sheets engulfing me
A still girl sleeping at the wheel
There’s nothing to be thrilled
The current takes us somewhere else
Somewhere in the arctic
I’ll get lost in the crowd
I’ll get lost in the crowd and you won’t find me out
I’ll get lost in the sound
I’ll get lost in the sound and you won’t hear me
