Fire

Fire

Destruction and pain

Things we don’t understand 

Melt away

This tragedy is simple 

Fire, burning fire

Across a continent 

Why oh why did this happen

Why oh why aren’t we helping

Why oh why are you still here 

Why oh why aren’t you acting

Misery and loss

A place of such wonder

Burns away 

Let’s face the facts that it is 

Fire, burning fire

Effecting all of us 

Why oh why did this happen

Why oh why aren’t we helping

Why oh why are you still here 

Why oh why aren’t you acting

 Clearly my fiends have no idea

What this is all about

Despite how much I want to help

Imagine if this was happening everywhere 

This won’t just happen just there 

Fire, burning fire

Everywhere and everywhere 

Why oh why did this happen

Why oh why aren’t we helping

Why oh why are you still here 

Why oh why aren’t you acting

Everywhere

Your home and mine

All of us 

With no judgement 

Australia 

Just a beginning 

Best

Here I am

Despite everything

 I want to be recognized

Call me self absorbed 

But I don’t care

What are you trying to say

With your hidden bigotry...

I’m not good enough?

I’m better than you 

I’m better than your best

More aware than the rest

Despite your quest

You should rest, I’m the best

Who are you 

A friend or a foe 

Living Inside this fantasy 

Playing this game  now

Yet here we are 

Liar liar liar friend

What else haven’t told me

You’re playing games

With love and hate. 

I’m better than your best

More aware than the rest

Despite your quest

You should rest, I’m the best

Tools of history

Fools of history

Aware of the truth

I’ll regain an honest truth. 

Here I am

Despite everything

 I want to be recognized

Call me self absorbed

It is what it is.  

Offensively Obtuse

A moment in time

You and I 

Could have been together 

I still don’t know why

That you ran

From claims of forever

You met all the marks

One two three

Then suddenly you flaked out on me

Now I’m here more bitter than before

I find you offensively obtuse

You’re ignorant to your standing

Annoying without even trying

I find you offensively obtuse

Coming, going without caring 

Fooling me to believe you’re caring 

What else could this be

But regret

What do you have to say

What is wrong with me 

It’s nothing

To do with me these days 

Yet I  hate you now

Every lie 

Has Burned me against any faith in you now

I’m still dreaming of something more 

I find you offensively obtuse

You’re ignorant to your standing

Annoying without even trying

I find you offensively obtuse

Coming, going without caring 

Fooling me to believe you’re caring 

Here you come again 

Despite me and all for you 

I’m not entertaining this

You’re unworthy of my time. 

I find you offensively obtuse

You’re ignorant to your standing

Annoying without even trying

I find you offensively obtuse

Coming, going without caring 

Fooling me to believe you’re caring 

Happier Alone

I’m done with the pain

Over and over

Again and again 

After all these years 

I’m happier alone. 

Peace and tranquility 

I’ve found for myself

After the menagerie

Of these useless lovers 

I’m at one with myself

Forgetting fantasy

whatever is left

Could still be out there for me

Despite these leftovers 

Solitude

Silence

The chance to be alone

I’m done with the pain

Over and over

Again and again 

After all these years 

I’m happier alone. 

You’re a bother to me

I’d rather you not

Try to come back to my life 

You have no usefulness 

Once blind but now I see

I’m all that I’ve got

You’re just a Moment of strife 

I won’t deal with you mess 

This Loneliness

Selfish 

The chance to be alone

I’m done with the pain

Over and over

Again and again 

After all these years 

I’m happier alone. 

I enjoy the ringing in my ears

From the silence 

Call me crazy 

But I enjoy my solitude. 

I’m done with the pain

Over and over

Again and again 

After all these years 

I’m happier alone. 

Wasted

I play the victim when it isn’t my fault

I carry the the blame when no one cares

And here we are facing bullshit no one signed up for. 

I’ve no words

This bullshit

Is ridiculous. 

And why and why and why

Why does this matter. 

We are wasted

All of us

You want to be something better than you are. 

Maybe you’re satisfactory 

You are  a challenge I can’t face despite who I am. 

What is this 

It’s bullshit

This fantasy. 

Hashtag break

Love and ecstasy

Love and lost 

Foolish fantasies. 

And why and why and why

Why does this matter. 

We are wasted

All of us

Challenge Me

When no one has anything to say

Why do you open your mouth 

Shut up, it has nothing to do with you. 

I don’t know why we are here in the now

Your ignorance is outstanding. 

Bless your heart is all I can say

Challenge me

I’ll challenge you

In this day and age

We will see who’s right. 

A conversation that’s never had

Stuck inside our heads yet we

Fight it, battles that we will never face

We have too much to say these days 

to bow

I still respect you without saying 

Yet I question you till this day. 

Challenge me

I’ll challenge you

In this day and age

We will see who’s right. 

Silly little boy

Knowing nothing

Claiming everything 

Come for me

Silly little boy

You’re pretending 

That you’re everything

Come for me

Challenge me

I’ll challenge you

In this day and age

We will see who’s right. 

Old Lexington Road

On old Lexington road

Did someone rape you

Take your innocence from you

There are rumors

About all of you

I’ve heard them all

Grown ups pointing fingers

The wrong people behind bars

If I knew you now like I knew you then

You’d know and be afraid. 

On Old Lexington Road

Did you lose your mind 

Make you want to run away 

From what they say. 

All about you

I’ve heard them all

A church just down the street 

Harboring catholic sins

Sexual abuse in the community

It’s sad just what I know 

Rapist and lies 

Incest and drugs

I’m glad I left you all behind

With your toxic “Christianity”

On Old Lexington Road

I lived childhood. 

And I left with no regrets

Y’all should have 

Said goodbye

But you can’t now
