a work in progress. . . .

this is a piece I have started working on.
will probably be published in pieces.
its a story about a rock.


A couple days after the earth was in place,

and the spinning began to start shifting the plates,
the mountains that were soon to be were not yet;
the water and land were smooth and flat.

With the amount of force that comes with rotation,
the land starts to break like the waves of an ocean,
and peaks that did form were both small and grand;
some under the sea, some over the land.

sulk

Sometimes

we talk about the good ole' days
and like wine,
they only get better to taste
as we age them
on the shelves of our minds.

Sometimes
we talk about the future in such
straight lines
but a circle is the shape we use to
mark time
no wonder our stars won't align

Don't go and sulk.
It ain't that bad.
Life hasn't passed you by.
Its been waiting around like it always has.

It's a fine line
we stumble upon with our
old wine
that we drink till the dawn of the day
that has been in our minds
all along.

So its time
to pack away the plans that we make
and re-sign
the declaration of today.
That we were meant to live
in the day we're in.

Don't go and sullk.
It ain't that bad.
Life's on the other side
of whatever it is you say
you need to have

The acorn and the oak tree.


I have come to realize they look absolutely nothing alike.

where it goes

I'll hang around
until I can find out
the point to this madness called life.

yours is quite possibly
the lamest escuse
that i have seen with my eyes.

i'd bet your dollar
that all of this squalor
was made up
to waste up your time

if you're a thinker
take that hook, line and sinker
out of your mouth and follow the line.

Nobody knows
where it goes
it just come down out of the sky
if it weren't there it wouldn't be truth i suppose
but it were
so it can't be a lie.

I need to get going
but i gotta find out
what the meaning to money and cents.

I guess greed found a coin
that doesn't exist
it's just made up as fast as its lent.

Feedback

(verse)
with the words that she said
a weight landed on him
so heavy like a ton of lead
so he packed up his bags
called up his dad 
and then up, up, away he went

there came a time
when she drank some old wine
and fell into a hole in her mind
and as she look around
and wandered about
she found there was no way to get out

(bridge)
living is easy when everything's going as planned
but what when you find that your life's just a line in the sand
there's no school that taught us what to do when things end up this way
so whether it was breakdown or breakthrough i'm sure i cant say

(verse)
the trains getting tired 
it was starting to cough
and all the people on board
are just dying to get off
and the scenery's not slowing
they missed their last stop

(chorus)
so if you need a break 
go ahead and take it
there's too much at stake
to just try and fake it through
our lives are in session
and have been decided
by somebody else until now.
and they'll work you to death
till you breakthrough or breakdown

(verse)
the feedback was screaming
it was out of control
so the guitarist unplugged
to go search for his soul
all the records and labels 
fell down at his feet
to find somebody else to control

(bridge)
well the mic tests
at sound check 
are screaming in protest
and everyone hears 
what none want to notice
that the sound is changing 
in spite of the band
so either get on
or get off the microphone stand

(chorus again)

check your head
your not dead
you're just not believing
that the best things in life
were made for receiving
but the verdicts not out
cause the jury got hung up
while reading the sunday funnies
that we could do for love
what were doing for money

so if you need a break
go ahead and take it
and just lie down in the wake
of all that we made it through
so the story unfolds
how its never been told
and yet somehow we always knew
that we had to breakdown
before we could breakthrough

Dont blame it on the kids


dont blame it on the kids
if theyve got nothing better to do.
you've got the wrong ideas 
about something that you never knew

just think about it

you put your life on the line
when youve got something to prove
you wouldnt soon punch a blind man
for stepping on your shoe
