Fractured


Fractured

Nobody tells you how it really is
That you can't trust anyone but yourself
Manipulation is decriminalised
Envy is the ultimate control
Life is a failure
If you try to stay in light
Life is a failure
If your words don't back up your hide
Holding out a hand for help
Puckering your lips for a kiss
The rumbling thunder of discontent
Life is to be worshipped
Life is to be cherished
The hardest thing is to be good
The hardest thing is to stay good at heart
Is to wish everyone else well
As they fracture your sense of calm
Your thoughts of well being
Safety is within
Safety is from within
Life is being at one
At one with the living world we share
It's alive, more alive than yourself
In this short time experience we're here.

The Lonely Man

The Lonely Man The sweetest taste, is bitter now My purest thoughts are poisoned through The ghost of fate, keeps mocking me From every scar I've earned, in every drink I've drowned I've felt the joy of the thing called sin I've stole and bought but never received I've had my fill, my spilling cup But now I'm empty, a shell of fear and doubt. Stand not so tall now, my voice breaks up I never believed the pace would slow Now I feel the cold and I count the suns The man who wears the guilty coat should realise, That life will have the last laugh You won't outrun your lies. And now I feel what silence means, In all its taunting Looking to the heaven I don't believe is there for me anymore I always was the bad tooth in a smile But who I was isn't who I've become. Every morning I stand in front of an unforgiving mirror Life has the last laugh, Life has the last laugh. V Topp https://www.amazon.co...

It's Apocalypse Day Again

It's Apocalypse Day Again I hear the ghosts have been spooked They have left the ghost towns without I hear death isn’t looking too good They say he’s standing on his last good leg I will lie down and wait It’s apocalypse day again. I can’t see Frank’s final curtain The fat lady isn’t singing yet The tree of life is still healthy and not shivering down to a root But it’s apocalypse day today, its apocalypse day again. Will it be like my recurring dream? Just me, the ghost of Lemmy and a family of cockroaches. V Topp (Published in  https://twitter.com/TheRuntZine issue 11)
