Put a fork in my cynical mind
The daily youthful yell
I emit while laying on my side
A gorgeous hope
Of a sick pretender
Hold high your hands
In bittersweet surrender
The gabby daily papers
Running underneath my fingers
As the pencil rests
Against the foamy green desk
Put a fork in my cynical mind
Hold on until the bitter end
Take all you can get
Don’t give in
Desire crept into evening dreams
Fills you up with evil things
Bird sing
While a dove flies
Hold on to the bitter end
Friends
While we are all alive
Today
Or Tomorrow
What comes not quickly
Will wait
We wait
For all of our own
Silly mistakes
I’ll try again tomorrow
Languid bitter sorrow
Forgive and forget
Forgiveness roulette
Fire burns
Water kills
Spin the wheel
Take the pills
So quickly we forget
How fast we move on
Sinide moments
Don’t love
What you can’t get
Hold hope
In a forgiveness roulette
Explain the copper wires
Running through my head
The hum of an ill-fated truck
Rumbles distant from my bed
I notice a neat and tenous
Stretch of thought
Running through my veins
Too educated to unite
To high up to rise
These are the excuses we all devise
As the old truck hums
In the distance
Should we
Shall we
Can we
We can
We will
Maybe we should not
Hold on to hope
Where hope does not grow
Let go
Of a facade of hope
Growing old
We have the power to hold
Each other to higher standards
Than our idols
Our dreams
We each have a unique
Possibility
Within us all
Hope in barriers
Invested in fragile dreams
I put it where the loathing
Belonged
Where corruption
Runs vital
All day long
Maybe it was our own hope
Vested in bad avenues
Me and you
Are to blame to
We need to unite again
Remember
We have the power
We have the strength
To come together
And put our energy
Where it matters
In each other
I can see the change
Ebb on the horizon
Life is so new
Fresh changes
Hit the breaks dear
Of you feel unsafe
If your afraid
Hold on to what you know
And move on
Let go
Give the show
Your best
Even at your lowest moment
Independent of the rest
Know that in those times
Is when you learn to thrive
Giving every moment to the end
Show up
And do it again
