5 (2-10-2009)

I feel betrayed in such a way

The sky was clear but now is gray

Bursting bubbles on the ground

The leaves were green but now they’re brown

The park where all the children played

The cemetery where dreams are laid

I look out to the setting sun

What has been lost, what will be one

It was on the distant clouds I cried

About the man who died inside

Where has it gone, I lost it when

The circus came and left again

The vagabond who wanders lonely

Has showed me more than all have shown me

There is a key in outer space

That makes its way back to the place

Back to the hole inside the door

Under the rug down on the floor

On the couch where you felt at home

The chimes of bells the rings of phones

Answer the call from voices strange

Who give you options, the choices range

As mother walks down from upstairs

The children know to drum up stares

To catch the demons in the snares

The pills you take to soothe your cares

No longer matters, it’s empty

Empty like the car ride left me

Left me here to sigh and fly

Fly alone

Alone

Alone again

Again I dream like a boy

A boy who’s found his favorite toy

The ships sets sail and strong winds blow

Over the edge to Geronimo

To test these wings we made, these things we said

How comfortable are you when you’re in your own skin

Never mind his moccasin

Don’t mock a sin ‘til you’ve tried, I lied

I hid away my useless pride

Hoping it would have dried out on the wall like the roses

Like the roses

Alone on a blank wall like the roses

Alone on the wall like the roses

Alone like the roses
