Vultures

What a hapless day for tell-tales.
I tip toe on broken eggshells.
It all seems a little bit backwards but apparently that’s what I’m guilty of.
All this perceived despair.
You could argue it’s unfair.
Why should I have my say when you’re just waiting to make me pay?
I’m not ready.
It’s too heavy.
I’m not ready.
I wish I could take a load off.
While I watch my mouth run hot.
You’re like vultures circling above.
Pray for my death while you feast on the fall.
I know that it’s all right.
That’s someone else’s fight.
Why should I waste my time when you’re not the one who’s coming around tonight?
I’m not ready.
It’s too heavy.
I’m not ready.
I could waste it all.
On a world that worries more.
In time we’ll work things out.
Until then I better bite my tongue.
I could waste it all.
On a world that worries more.
In time we’ll work things out.
Oh fuck it; it’s been too long.
I’m not ready.
It’s too heavy.
I’m not ready.

Mary.
Oh when the sun don’t shine.
Your words: they seem to reconcile.
Mary.
I’m not one to forgive.
And nothing. Oh nothing fits.
Mary.
You’ve got the love and love don’t last.
So help me. Won’t you help me smash this glass?
Mary can you help me find a way?
I was down. You came around.
You’re the one who helped me get out.
You’re going to be okay.
I won’t wait for you. I won’t wait for no one.
Smile on my face says I know you aren’t going nowhere.
Mary I don’t care. You wear the crown you look good with it.
Mary I don’t care because I care about you.
Everybody sing!
Mary.
You’re the one who keeps me up at night.
When the race is all but run. Oh Mary.
Tell me when you feel all right.
You’re the one who lit the light. Help me find a way.
Oh Mary! I’m the one who can’t stop thinking about it.
When you sing that song. Oh won’t you, Mary?
Tell me when you feel all right.
You’re the one who lit the light.
As I sing my, sing my, sing my fucking song.
Oh won’t you, Mary?
Why did you have to run away?
We never got to play.
Tonight.
You’re going to be okay.
I won’t wait for you. I won’t wait for no one.
Smile on my face says I know you aren’t going nowhere.
Mary I don’t care. You wear the crown you look good with it.
Mary I don’t care because I care about you.

Ego

In one photograph: a million thoughts I could attach.
But you choose to be so cool and cover all the truth to lure anything to feed your ego: a game of superficial bingo.
It’s a shame I know the truth: all that beauty thrown aloof.
Now.
I guess that’s fine.
It’s your life and no one else’s place to judge.
So go on.
Continue.
If you can’t find the words:
Wonder.
When you’re all alone.
Can that keep you warm?
When there’s no one there and all the traffic is through.
But who else is there to blame?
You spent your time in a toxic vile.
You never cared that you let him fall away.
Too busy playing games.
I don’t think you will ever change.
I don’t care what you say.
So feed the beast that lingers over your existence if it’s so boring that you rehashed all your days gone by.
I will try my best to keep my thoughts close to my chest, as I know how you love the drama.
Now.
I guess that’s fine. It’s your life and no one else’s place to judge.
So go on.
Continue.
If you can’t find the words:
Wonder.
When you’re all alone.
Can that keep you warm?

You never cared that you let him fall away.
Too busy playing games.
I don’t think you will ever change.
I don’t care what you say.
I don’t care babe. I don’t care what they’re telling you!
When you’re all alone I want to be by your side because I’m all right. I want to be with you every night.

Don't Wanna Be

Think you know everything that I do a little better than me too.
Well sorry I’m not so zen.
I haven’t quite figured it all out yet.
But hey what’s it to you?
Always looking for a point to prove.
Maybe I’ll be fine and this will all work out.
I’ll find a way that I can silence all your doubts.
Because I.
I don’t want to be just another missed opportunity.
No, I want to do something real.
But you’ve got me on my knees.
I’m not praying no, I’m suffering for one more day that I’m not out there on that stage.
You wear me down with no reward or respite.
And I just wait for my break.
When am I going to get my break?
I fear the tide is turning all the wrong ways.
Washing my half-assed hopes away.
But fuck it.
What’s another day worth more than passing the time at bay?
Is it worth clinging on to this one-shot dream?
And when it’s all through.
What did it mean to you?
To toss and turn at all you didn’t do.
Did you even care like I know that I did?
That’s what worries me.
So now we’re here and I am chasing this for real.
So go pretend you don’t give a shit elsewhere.
Because I.
I don’t want to be just another missed opportunity.
No, I want to do something real.
Because I.
I don’t want to be just another missed opportunity.
No, I want do something real.
But you’ve got me on my knees.
I’m not praying no I’m suffering for one more day that I’m not out there on that stage.
You wear me down with no reward or respite.
And I just wait for my break.
When am I going to get my break?

When I got out of bed the other day I had a very strange feeling coming my way.
Through the cat door I could just see the empty stare from the night before.
And I thought that maybe there are some things I should never fucking change in my life. Bringing me around to say what is going on?
Doubt springs to mind.
A wry smile and an air of confidence.
Said you opened doors.
Closed minds are all I saw.
Steam in with the will to fight.
You can rain on my parade tonight.
I tuned out long ago.
So why are you still going on?
And I know it’s unfair.
Laze around all day in your underwear.
It’s like buying steak knives when you’ve never cooked a day in your life.
Oh and on it goes.
Take time to hold that pose.
In light of fear don’t cry.
Just stab me in the back. That’s fine.
Doubt springs to mind.
A wry smile and an air of confidence.
Said you opened doors.
Closed minds are all I saw.
Steam in with the will to fight.
You can rain on my parade tonight.
I tuned out long ago.
So why are you still going on?
What’s going on?
What’s going on?
Dine on my friends.
They don’t mind at all.
It shouldn’t hurt.
So what if it does?
You don’t run when it feels right.
It’s down to me.
You don’t run when it feels right.
What is going on?
What? What’s going on?
It’s time in your life.
It’s taking all the drives in your car.
Won’t you give me some more time in your life?
It’s taking all the drives in your car.
Won’t you give me some more time?
