I'm Still Sane

Damn these walls that hold me here inside
Here I have nowhere I can hide
Annoying hours keep me from my sleep
They give me drugs so that I won't speak
Everything is alright baby, come and see me once in a while
I know that you think that I'm crazy, but I'm still sane
So I sit with nothing much to do
Many times my memories drift to you
I write a book describing all they do
Hey I know that you are like me too
Everything is alright baby, I'd love to see you smile
I know that you think that we're crazy, but we're still sane
But when the evening comes all I can hear are screams
When anyone comes back a mess we all know where they've been
Taken to the doctor who has told them what to say
But no electro shock could ever take my love away
Everything is alright baby, I'd love to see you smile
I know that you think that I'm crazy, but I'm still sane
Everything is alright baby, I'd love to see you smile
I'd love to see you smile

I took a walk around town last night
I saw a girl who had lived in my mind
She saw I aimed for the light
But her broken heart kept me from inside
But she said she loved me
She said she loved me
I went to her house that night
I saw her trying to find her way
I saw the weight she had to fight
Her eyes had tears
But they said all she had to say
She said she loved me
She said she loved me
And I went into her world
I found all I I'd ever dreamed of
She is my guiding light
She's all that, all that I need
She said she loved me
She said she loved me

Seafaring

When I'm longing for the feel
of the waves far out sea
I take my eyes into my head
To feel them there
And as the waves crash over me
I think of how the world would be
without the mess invention caused
without a care
If I had known it all would be
torn by the hand I gave it to
I would have burned with anger till
nothing remained
As the evening closes in and moonlight slowly starts to fall
the water starts to chill my skin but I don't care
I'm thankful for the chance to feel
the cold
so warmth becomes more real
but it's a shame that there are those who never care
If I had known it all would be
torn by the hand I gave it to
I would have burned with anger till
nothing remained there
The roar of waves at night can be
a stirring sound that can take me
Away from humankind's regress
into the air

You're Not A Poet

So there I was one morning
watching as the cars slipped by
when I stopped and said to myself
'what's the point I have to try
to take along a book and try to rhyme'
But as I opened my book,
I tried to find some empty lines
As I turned through mounds of garbage
guess what I had to find?
A poem that you wrote, saying you were fine
Without me in your life all the time
One thing is bugging me today
It's not your writing
It's not the things you have to say
Or where you're going
I guess there's just one way to say
What I've been feeling
You're not a poet anyway
Yeah...
So there I was that evening
going for a moonlit drive
but when I turned on the radio
guess what I had to find
A song that you wrote saying you had time
for everybody's love
but never mine
One thing is bugging me today
It's not your singing
It's not the instruments you play
Or what you're doing
I guess there's just one way to say
What I've been feeling
You're not a poet anyway
Yeah...
And I know it's true
One thing is haunting me today
It's not your writing
It's not the instruments you play
Or where you're going
I guess there's just one way to say
What I've been feeling
You're not a poet anyway
Yeah...

There once was a kingdom called Caergard
That fell to the big green eyed monster’s attacks
The monster would come just as all started sleeping
and filled all their dreams with distortions of facts
When morning came the whole kingdom imploded
as brother fought brother for use of a sword
Sisters fought mothers for use of the baths
& lovers would wake up and not say a word
They never let on
and they’d never tell anyone how
They never had won
When facing the big green eyed monster again
A man and a woman set out after quarrelling
To try discover the green monster’s lair
Set in the south in the heart of a swampland
They came to his lair in much dread and much fear
But fighting all day with it proved fairly useless
Until they decided on something to do
They threw off their armour and tore down defences
gave into each other and started anew
In that way they won
and they went and told everyone how
They always could win
When facing the big green eyed monster again

I took my love to my Treehouse
In all the hope that
she'd learn to fly
But as she lifted into the air
She fell down
She fell down
Is this how the story ends?
I took my love from my Treehouse
Broken and bleeding
She nearly died
Oh I had no idea that she'd fall down
The land was hardened clay
Was hard as hardened clay
Is this how the story ends?
And there's no way
That I'm gonna let her fall
And there's no way
And there's no way
That I'm gonna let her fall
And there's no way
And there's no way
That I'm gonna let her fall
I took my love to my Treehouse
In all the hope that she'd learn to fly
Oh I had no idea as soon as she was able
She'd beg me to take her again and again
Oh she had no idea
that she'd fall down
When I took my love
To my Treehouse
Is this how the story ends?
