Rats racing furiously

Serenity Now

The Rats Have Won The Race

the rats have won the race
nothing can help that

we can’t keep up the pace
and no one to help us out

the train is on it’s way
faster than lighting

the words are hard to say
and nothing can stop the pain

I pray

we held our tongues too long
i cannot deny it

we laugh at all that’s wrong
and nothing can stop our noise

I pray for serenity now

try some love and compassion
maybe so
everybody knows it’s good for you

the truth is on the run
where can we find it?

our hearts have come undone
and nothing will make them whole

I pray for serenity now
I pray for serenity now

try some love and compassion
maybe so
everybody says it’s good for you

try some love and compassion
maybe so
but everybody knows it’s something true

the rats have won the race
nothing can help that

the words are hard to say
and nothing can stop the pain

Anything

One cold day
We find ourselves in hell
And not in a million years
Could anybody tell
Although i wish us well
I can see
We don’t know anything

Here we go
Wondering what we’ll find
I think i’ve lost my faith
In all of humankind
Has everyone gone blind?
Well I can see
That we don’t know anything

Things are rough
We need a helping hand
Someone to let us know
The shit has hit the fan
We’re doing all we can
But i can see
That we don’t know anything

Here you are
Maybe you’re the man
Who’ll save the world at last
With the concept of a plan
Try to understand
That i can see
You don’t know anything

Here i am
Showing you the door
You’re lost on an inland sea
Looking for the shore
I would ask you more
But i can see
You don’t know anything
Anything at all

Here We Go Again, Remember?

Posted on by

Remember?

No one heeds the call

Lord have mercy

Have mercy on us all

The bullets start to fly

The people wonder why

Sending thoughts and prayers to anyone up there

Well, i wanna know

Who’s listening?

Who hears you when you pray?

‘Cause here we go again, remember?

No one saves the day

You’ll feel like dying but go on living anyway

The saviours never come

You turn to empty skies

It’s almost like a dream until you open up your eyes

Don’t you wanna know

Who’s watching?

Who sees you

When you pray, don’t you wanna know?

Who’s listening?

Who hears you when you pray?

‘Cause here we go again

Remember?

Streets all paved with gold

And the songs of angels soothe our weary souls

When the sands begin to fall and the rivers start to call your name

Don’t you wanna go?

To a heaven?

Sometimes

I don’t wanna live

In this world, I don’t wanna live

Don’t you wanna know who’s watching?

Who sees you?

When you pray, don’t you wanna know who’s listening?

Who hears you when you pray?

‘Cause here we go again

Every Wall Tumbling

Posted on by

who do you turn to when you’re hurting?  i ask you.

who do you find who isn’t laughing? i ask you.

i ask you,
when all is crumbling,
who do you look for through the crying?
who finds you?
who finds you?

where do you go when you are dying?
who holds you?
who holds you
now when the life is dark and scary?

who loves you?
who loves you
when every wall comes tumbling down?

when you’re feeling lost and lonely
who needs you?
who needs you?
when your soul is weak and empty.

who feeds you?
who feeds you
when all is crumbling?

now when the life is dark and scary
who loves you?
who loves you
when every wall comes tumbling down?

 

Today

like a smoking gun
like the dying sun

we’ll weary of the things we know
we’ll worry where our world may go

like a tolling bell
like the road to hell

we’ll weary of the things we see
we’ll worry what it just might be

like the children in a dream crying out to me

it’s ok
everyone’s anyone
find your way
into the setting sun

stay strong and be true
i’ll walk with you

like a long lost friend
like an open pen

we’ll worry that the beast got free
we’ll worry for our family tree

and the devil in our hearts claiming victory

but it’s ok
everyone’s anyone
find your way
into the setting sun

be bright or be blue
i’ll walk with you

like a firebrand
like a helping hand

we’ll weary of the things we feel
we’ll worry that they’re all too real

we’ll struggle in our souls as we pray for an even keel

but it’s ok
everyone’s anyone
find your way
into the setting sun

stay strong and be true

it’s ok
everyone’s anyone
find your way
into the setting sun

be bright or be blue
it’s not all on you

we may weary of the things we know
we may worry where the winds will blow

try to shine a little light on the open road

it’s ok
everyone’s anyone
find your way
into the setting sun

be bright or be blue
it’s not all on you

for today
maybe you’re anyone
walking tall
into the setting sun

stay strong and be true

for today
maybe you’re everyone
walking tall
into the setting sun

the least i can do
is walk with you

Idiots (Who Knew?)

 

times are rough
we sure do have a history of fuckin’ each other up
be black, be white
be any colours in between ’cause it really don’t mean a thing

it’s been awhile
maybe you remember it from when you were a child
the golden rule
sometimes i think that we all need to go on back to school

who knew? the world’s full of idiots
who knew? and they’re just like me and you.

the times have changed
or haven’t changed a single bit
or maybe they’re rearranged

the heart shifts gears
learns to hope for brighter days, days turn into years

who knew? the world is shit. uh huh.
google it.

oh yeah, it’s true. all the pain and suffering certainly isn’t new
and though not right, appears to be the human way and it won’t change overnight

who knew?
the world is shit. oh yeah.

google it.
chock filled with idiots.

and they’re just like me and you
who knew? they’re just like me and you

just like me and you

The Memory of Touch

Posted on by

 

but the sky was blue
and the day was warm
and the sun was clear and bright
i remember well
when the morning fell to night

spring was in the air
people found a smile
even in these trying times
the memory of touch
right before they shut the blinds

build your houses
burn your houses down
raise the glasses high
have another round
try to live your life

maybe things will change
it could be awhile
maybe we’ll be free at last
to hold our lovers tight
and laugh until the storms have passed

take a moment
for the human race
say a prayer for love
our saving grace
the memory of touch

it may be all we have
when the world is new
everything is changing fast
but the sky is blue
simply know this too will pass

what’s a soul to do?
simply know this too will pass
