Dragonfly on broken stem.
A perfect photograph of Zen.
With wings of paper,
physique so lean.
with eyes so many,
a panoramic scene.
He sees everything but the end..
A simple gust and he's unpinned.
Floating freely on the wind.
From leaf to leaf, no matter where,
from stalk to stalk, without a care.
But this battle he can't win..
He flies, he flies..
He dies, he dies..
Now merely days since his flight began.
His final moment is at hand.
No time to move, already too late,
now none to do, but meet his fate.
Nothing but a meal for the bigger man

There was a time, when love was all that we had.
Before the fights, before lonely
nights, before crossing line after line.
Now a monster are you,
making enemies of friends.
Just to pit them against me,
around we go again..
When you go... go...
it seems it's the end of the fight.
But I know... I know...
we'll be back here again tonight..
Time after time, we drop common sense like a fad.
Make the same old mistakes,
and each heart breaks, though it's far from a victimless crime.
And a monster am I, making enemies of friends.
More weapons in our endless war, around we go again..
When I go... go...
it seems it's the end of the fight.
But you know... you know...
we'll be back here again tonight..
Around we go again on this carousel.
No trying to stop, we don't want to get off,
for without it, where would we go?..
When you go... go...
it seems it's the end of the fight.
But I know... I know...
we'll be starting all over again tonight.
Oh ohh, oh ohh,
Maybe time that we both saw the light.
Ohh, ooooohh...

All So Familiar

Well I saw you on the corner waiting for your life to start.
Black shoes, a pretty dress and a jacket just a little too tight.
An old suitcase that's seen a lot more of the world than you.
Yeah I saw you on the corner just before you fell apart.
These old crossroads can leave any man sinkin' down.
Too many choices to make, and not enough time to do it all.
So choose the road most travelled, leave the others for someone else.
But these crossroads, they can help you leave this town.
Where are you heading is it someone else's life?
The walls are closing in you're standing on the edge of night.
The faster that you run from here the faster you'll be alive.
And you wanted me right there by your side... but not this time...
It's easy to run when you think you've seen it all.
Oh but don't be confused, you've got more to lose than you know.
Too many days of too much talkin', too many nights of not enough.
It's too easy to run, rather than face the fall.
You're still waiting on the corner wonderin' what to do.
Still sittin' on your suitcase holding a one-way ticket to far away.
Oh darling I was wrong, I just can't let you go alone.
So I'll be waiting on the corner, right there next to you.

What is it you want from this life?
Chasing fairy tales, and slaying your Goliath.
But although there's so much more, to learn and realise.
You prefer the wool over your eyes.
Now you're feeling safe in your little town.
And you're working against those who would burn the whole world down.
From the rooftops you shout, no one cares, you just can't make them stay.
But you keep shouting anyway.
You worry, about your air and money.
Your water, your earth, and what you are worth,
and whether you're truly free.
Digging your rabbit hole, out of control,
you wouldn't stop it if you could.
But if your mind's too open you'll find you can lose it all for good..
Every paper cut, and every bruise.
Is merely proof that they,
are really out to get you.
But how can you be, the only one to see, the warnings and the signs?
You keep adding dots, adding lines.
You worry, about your head and body.
The endless demons inside your soul and any kind of authority.
Digging your rabbit hole, out of control,
you wouldn't stop it if you could.
But if your mind's too open you'll find you can lose it all for good..
You worry... You're so worried...
But that's what you get, a life of regret, outspoken, misunderstood.
You say that you know, but down there you go, not stopping,
although you should.
But if your mind's too open you'll find
you can lose it all, for good..
