Keep Talking

I'll just pick up at the same place where I left off
Endlessly deceived and with no time to dust off
No time to remember if my argument's even relevant
Just more words taking up space: elephant
Can you see what I'll be? I can't, I'll just bleed
Reasons, seasons, feelings, that's all I need
You can do the talking, then I'll do the walking
And I'll do the knocking when the doors start locking
You can do the gawking when your friends start mocking
What you've done that's shocking, come on, just keep talking
You know you're in trouble when you collect enemies
Got a pretty good record, I've only got 10 of these
I don't know where I am, but you know, that's right
I'm just where I wanna be and right now that's a stop light
So look away, don't delay, I'm on my way, that's okay
Just know that it doesn't pay to do the things I can't say
You can do the talking, then I'll do the walking
And I'll do the knocking when the doors start locking
You can do the gawking when your friends start mocking
What you've done that's shocking, come on, just keep talking
It's kind of troubling that I'm not what I used to be
But musing on the past is not quite my cup of tea
Some people can look back and laugh about it
Then there are those who would be better off without it
Take a bow, work the crowd, and do it in your best suit
It's not the goal, it's not the path, it's just the pursuit
You can do the talking, then I'll do the walking
And I'll do the knocking when the doors start locking
You can do the gawking when your friends start mocking
What you've done that's shocking, come on, just keep talking

So Fast

Do you ever get the feeling that the days just go on by
No time for talk, only walk, I'm just a normal guy
Papers keep on stackin', I wish i could be packin'
My bags, to get me to far, far away
Time just keeps on spinnin', clock just keeps on tickin'
I feel my mind degrading as the minutes go away
There's a silver lining, I know that I ain't lying
All you need is time, time, time
It just keeps slippin'
Some things are missing
Time is what I know
And it's going
So fast
How many, how much, what, which, and why
The enemy of nostalgia turns out to be sly
Where can you find the garden of your mind
The seeds are planted deep between the lines
I never am able to pay all the cost
Searching for all the time that I have lost
I repeatedly do everything again
By repeating my life, I never seem to win
It just keeps slippin'
Some things are missing
Time is what I know
And it's going
So fast

Calling Bell

He started at the end of the road
The bad weather can't wither his soul
Always warmth and always cold
Just a few steps to break the mold
And we rose
From heads to toes
We are the rose
An icon versus brooding crows
For the longest time she hangs her head
Under a hostile clothed in red
Bound and shackled in lead
Then she realized she'd rather be dead
Than take more steps in hell
This was a calling bell
A revolution yell
She didn't stop till the nation fell
The rabble in the streets
All rise to their feet.
Calling for their monarchs seat.
Tearing down the elite.
Now we fall
Not quite as tall
No answers to the call
Defeated, one and all
It left conflict within the king
And repulsion for the queen
the cardinal let out a scream
As the jester made a scene
You were just left to yourself
To accumulate more and more wealth
But watch out for your health
And threats of "or else"

My Dearest Friend

She is my dearest friend.
I'll love her till the end.
We don't have to play pretend.
Everything always blends.
We are so alive.
Fire burns in our eyes.
She can't even hide
How we feel inside.
She is my dearest friend.
I'll love her till the end.
We don't have to play pretend.
Everything always blends.
We fly through the clouds.
Soaring up and around.
I'm glad it's her I found.
Landing on the ground.
She is my dearest friend.
I'll love her till the end.
We don't have to play pretend.
Everything always blends.
We'll never be away.
At least that's what we say.
She came back today.
Now we're here to stay.
She is my dearest friend.
I'll love her till the end.
We don't have to play pretend.
Everything always blends.
