Time
Now that you’re not around
I’ll sit and wait for a sound
For you to appear – I know that you’re near
Mind
I know just where you’re s’posed to be
I pray you are looking on me
When all’s said and done – what we’ve become
Hand
I’ve never seen so much of my life
With all that was here you would laugh
They lifted us high – you shone in each eye
Go on
Now that the smoke has all cleared
We’ll sift the debris for years
Keep you in the mind – we’ll still find our stride
Hold me
I’m not afraid to die
I know where I’ll be
When you come around
Lonely
It show’s how much we care
As long as you look down
We won’t run away

When you’re behind the wheel you are possessed
You drive not to survive but to impress
The limit means shit to you
You’ve only got a job to do
Do you think you’re going a little to fast when you hear us scream?
If we played ‘Scare them witless’, you’d be on the winning team
Do you take your life for granted?
Can you think while your foot’s planted?
One day it will be over and we’ll all breath again
But until that day, you’ll drive like it ain’t ever going to end
When you’re driving at two hundred, is it you behind the wheel…

Longest Word

I miss what never was
How to come to terms with the loss
But when I felt, I wasn’t alone
Though my dreams never came home
She blows all my mind away
When she smiles I hear me say
Only she can smile that way
I hope that smile’s for me
It was the sweetest feel but so black
When I pushed it for a word, it just pushed me back
I’m pleased to see us grow
I just thought I should let you know
Washed, now I can resume to be
The constant person you would have me to be
Still I am webbed up like a Fly again
Double one – count it up from ten

Fly

Saturday afternoon, no peaceful picnics today folks
Traditional missile hurled at one of the fleet
It’s nothing personal – we’ve just gotta get on with the job
We gotta do what we do best
Did I piss you off?
Are you aware of the buzz?
Doesn’t it make you mad?
Wish you could fly like us?
And in a minute
When you think I’ve gone away
I’ll be right here…
We’ve got our troubles – being spider-meat is bad enough
We don’t need you to jump on the bandwagon too
Two-legged creatures, you make me sick! Two eyes?! And you’ve got no wings?!
You look disgusting – Buzz! Buzz! Take that you fool!
Fly! Do you have purpose at all?!
Constant buzz drives me insane
No six-leg(ged) **** will break me
Ah! Shut up, you Fly, shut up!!
Black Flag…

Farmer

The Farmer in the fields
The Wife, she makes his meals
She doesn’t like the dirt
The Wife, she makes him work
In the fields stands (the) tall Scarecrow
The poor man watch(es) the woman go
Knows not of the Scarecrows gleam
But spies her caught up in a dream
The Farmer’s enemy
Is what she went to see
Made moments, he made none
Hand forced the crow laughs some
Don’t leave the field
The Farmer casts her out
Knows not what she’s about
She wanders to the Crow
Something that she knows
Winter passes into his life
He finds the Scarecrow and his wife
Crow enjoys Farmers innocence
She moans, he runs for the fence
Is Farmer dead today?
Hoping so, for his sake
Will his wife speak again?
Now that she’s left the field’s frame?
He won’t leave the field
