Proposition

Children fear for a plague is near
One of flesh to rot
Save your hide and protect your kind
For the poor and out of stock
It seems we're doomed yet it's overdue
A much deserved solution
So enjoy the ride until you die
Or simply use the institution

Jane in town

She was born in a no name town, somewhere in the east
Thought I’d pay miss Jane a visit to comfort her misery
But when I reached the gates of her home, a guard came upfront
He said, “Jane’s got no business seeing you tonight, now head back towards the sun.”
So I grabbed my sack and headed ‘til night
Thinking of all the times I could call her mine
But she’s a lone stone on the bridge, no rocks down below
Were to turn when the candles burn and fade with the breeze of snow
Who knows what she’d think of me these days, anyway?
I ran to the shore and found it a bore then headed back home to my dismay

Upon a time she looked so fine with flowers ‘round her waist
My blood was pure and coats of fur brought ease to my taste
I asked her, begged, on the side of my bed
Begging her to stay

She’s alive and well in some city street, a nice view of the sea
We’ve been living so far away, she don’t remember me
No time to slack and walk in the past, but the dreams were made of gold
Jane is tired of every guy, especially a fool like me so old
I thought, “Why not hang around in this town and find another gal?”
But then I fell asleep, passed out for weeks
Hating every swarm of these crowds
Walking alone in the sea of drones I light myself a smoke
Smiling at some for the fun of the dumb, knowing I’m now a joke
But my wit is yet to be sold

Upon a street she looked at me, kissed in the center of the street
Loved the way she stared and seemed to care about me
I spoke to her of love and heaven above
A memory bittersweet

Can She Dig?

You wonder who could make me melt
Tug the belt
Kill my health
She could talk a friendly game
Bring no shame
Take the blame
For all the men she’s cast a spell
Ring those bells
And bid me well


Can she dig?
Will she smile?
Can we make her stay awhile?
Time makes no mistakes in her motion,
She drinks wine from Tritan's ocean

You face her when the fear is clear
Yet still severe
A moment so queer
Now she moves her head away
What a sway
She can’t stay
For she’s the mistress of the tease
Hard to please
Everyman’s disease

Why’s she gone?
How’d we spawn
all the ruin bred at dawn?
Always these tides I couldn't stroke
Leaving a drifter's heart broke

Just

Greet the brand new day as you awake
Weary that nothing around us has changed
what to do with a pallet of sorrow?
Only sleep and hope for a better tomorrow
Lonesome in your trials to bear
Go in town, just for people to stare
Where to turn with no one by your side?
Fear stricken and nowhere to hide
once you find a partner to hold,
Remember it’s merely a story untold
one that will end as soon as it begins
Try to keep on traveling
For a beautiful world is in all our eyes
Unless you choose to only despise
