Life Commodity

A Boy With Roses

You never could save my mind                                                                                    

You watched me fall deeper into the addiction                                                          

Crashing through the waves just so I could breathe            

It broke my heart watching you leave 

 

I thought everything would fall into place                                                  

I thought we would love forever                                                

But I realised, soon enough, I'm all out of time       

I had to grow up in this ghost town of forgotten dreams                      

Such a sad boy, I can't believe life is real                                                            

In tears of despair                                                                                              

I lost myself in your poetry                                                          

Hoping I could escape the pain 

 

We stood there in the rain like sell outs                                                                          

In the loud world psychobabble, mouths sewn shut                                                              

We scream but no one hears us                                                                                  

They only really want the money and nothing more                                                                  

No one cares when we're dead on the floor                                                                  

Thinking about, you know                                                                                              

The blue sky of youth's summer                                                                                        

I never thought our friendship would end                                                                          

But I haven't heard from you again                                                                              

Since that time when you left

 

Zen is speaking in Arabic, he knows it well                                                                          

But Ruddy seems more like a stranger                                                                              

It's been so long since we've been together                                                                        

And I don't know if I know him anymore                                                                            

I've forgotten how it was                                                                                                

The tapestry of the epiphany                                                                                  

Contagious lust 

 

I want to tell you how I feel                                                            

But I don't know how to tell you how I feel                                              

There are some things I can't say out loud                                                  

How I wanted your touch                                                              

I wanted to make you proud of me                                                    

I wanted to tell you how I feel                                                

But I don't know how to tell you how I feel                                  

There are some things I can't say out loud.

    So true & poignant:

    'I want to tell you how I feel

    But I don't know how to tell you how I feel'
