Vexed Question
Things fall apart, come straight from the heart
It's calm when you're kind.
The car's at the back, ready when you are.
The money runs out, the wreckage is found
no brothers are bound.
Dense and profound, we're just dirt in the ground.
Who am I to fight the curb, to slice the pearls,
the breathing pills?
After the world, the minor whirl, I'm out.
You say: this love, it is blind.
And time won't unwind if you can stand the light.
The harder you try, the lower you fall
The air you inhale, the head you impale,
the sorrows you bale and whatever you scale.
To nicely behave in preposterous ways.
To focus on the barriers, they're hard for me to overcome
The more I try the more I strand. I'm out.
The former life I can't escape, I'm wide awake to see you fade
into the dark, you'll find a lot in exile.
Who am I to fight the curb, to slice the pearls,
the breathing pills?
After the world, the minor whirl, I'm out.
To wake at dusk and find a way to break into the mind of strays
and cast away t'ill faces fade, I'm out.
