Beautiful Landscapes

the sky is quiet
the birds don't sing here anymore
a blackened border
there is no swimming by these shores
where is the beauty ?
we cut it all down
a grey palette
there are no flowers by these stones
a lifeless tower
has taken the place of breathing oaks
where is the beauty ?
we cut it all down
missing something from our surroundings
we search for another place, a short escape
it’s easy to be unhappy within our paradigm
when we lose what once was a paradise
we cut it all down

Golden luring diamond rings
you have made it your everything
family left behind
as your eyes began to shine
taste the green on your lips
the colour you can't resist
money has no eyes
when you die, no one will cry
i am what i have
mostly collecting dust
i needed all that stuff
these things are everything
i am what i have
only inanimate
i need anatomy
i need somebody

Happy Illusions
04:52
|

|
forest green, its presence weak
masked by the waves of foreign sounds
praised by the children with wilted flower crowns
we live the happiest illusions
beats dropping like the acid on their tongues
smiles only come with their words in a slur
love is romanticized when bodies are a blur
we live the happiest illusions
branches extend, like human hands
the children crack their bones
on the way to their transient thrones
we live the happiest illusions
do we really feel love for one another
do we really feel love for earth mother
do you really show your love ?

Reflections

the patterns we make
recreating mistakes
sometimes it’s hard to know
when it’s time to go
some things engraved
run deep in your veins
history's got a good hold on me
history's got a damn good hold on me
repainting my canvas
finding new purpose
my palette has changed
though the colours remain
searching relentlessly
for the rest of me
i really don't know
much of anything
i really don't know
much of anything
