who cares about a beautiful sun set
butterflies on the flowers in spring
I look at you and I don't hear trumpets
I don't wanna hear the blue birds sing
who cares about the poets words
stupid rhymes for the fools with hearts
I've tried them and they never work
who believes fate lies in the stars
make peace with me darling
I don't know how to express myself
I don't say what I'm really feeling
I'm too afraid of being hurt again
so I don't do what other lovers do
compliments on your looks or your hair
I dance like my right foots in my left shoe
but when you need me I'll always be there
make peace with me darling
I'm fighting but I don't know what for
I'm a sensitive man on a mission
all my friendships turn in to a war
I'm that fly in your facial cream
that dust in the paint as it dries
If I said all those wonderful things
I'd probably be the first to cry
make peace with me darling
I don't know how to express myself
I don't say what I'm really feeling
I'm too afraid of being hurt again

wiser men than either you or me
in a time very different to the one we know
laid down the law
with one minor flaw
placing the power in the hand of the likes
of you and me
who do you choose to fight your fight?
not a docile creature but a ferocious beast
who only succeeds
by doing beastly deeds
it won't be fighting fair when it's fighting your fight
we turned this parliament of owls
into a committee of vultures
murder of crows
pride of peacocks
it's a cold, cold world we're living in
it takes a cold, cold heart to win in
i can pass no blame
i've done just the same
just to get by in this cold, cold world
we're living in
we turned this parliament of owls
into a committee of vultures
murder of crows
pride of peacocks

Is It Mine To Know

I can't see you but I know you're there
Who are you that floats around my existence
And I know these questions don't seem fair
But you're just so damn persistent
Even in the quiet depths of my mind
You find purchase and you find time
Seeping through the corners as I unwind
Running out of higher ground to climb
Is it mine to know
Your name or even your prescence
Is it mine to know
Can you help me find my balance
Is it mine to know
The wonder of your ways
Is it mine to grow
As we pass the days
You push and prod but it's gentle
Like a scientist conducting an experiment
Your body of energy, it's purely mental
Wrap me up with your terms of endearment
Your words in a language I don't understand
In fact I'm not sure you're speaking at all
I'm just another speck of dust in the universe
I don't understand why you think I'm so grand
Is it mine to know
Your name or even your prescence
Is it mine to know
Can you help me find my balance
Is it mine to know
The wonder of your ways
Is it mine to grow
As we pass the days
Sometimes you slip to the edges of my mind
Lurking the borders like you can't commit
To the warped world of my own making
Illusionary but hardly faking
I'm waiting for you to give me a sign
Lift me up if you are mine
Is it mine to know
Your name or even your prescence
Is it mine to know
Can you help me find my balance
Is it mine to know
The wonder of your ways
Is it mine to grow
As we pass the days
Is it mine to know
Your name or even your prescence
Is it mine to know
Can you help me find my balance
Is it mine to know
The wonder of your ways
Is it mine to grow
As we pass the days

Cool Water

In mountain lands,
when the summer’s dry
The deer will never rest
but wander in a circle they inscribe
They wear the pathway deep
Pushing through their fear
Till the wellspring seeps
And wets their tongues with water cool and clear
Cool water,
springing from the root of the sublime
Cool water
tumbles freely down the mountainside
Brave the world we must.
Tweets fly overhead,
Scatter toxic dust,
And take us where the angels fear to tread
So circle wide
In the forest of your mind
Wear a pathway deep
Until a mountain spring is what you find
Cool water,
springing from the root of the sublime
Cool water
tumbles freely down the mountainside
Follow the deer
Their pattern is innate
Nature is the seer,
Wiser than the pictures we create
Cool water,
springing from the root of the sublime
Cool water
tumbles freely down the mountainside
