Sheep

Not brave enough to lead
And not smart enough to see
Just desperate to be
A drop inside the sea
Glazed and hazed the eyes
Looking for an echoed truth
Find out that it's the back of the one in front of you
Blinded
No motives deep
Blank minded
Sleeping simple sheep
Scarce with your scrutiny
But have opinion by the pound
Sink that ol' groupthink drink
Til it puts you on the ground
Empathy's too PC
Looking for bootstraps to pull
Say it can't hurt to die of thirst
While your cup is always full
Blinded
No motives deep
Blank minded
Sleeping simple sheep
When your end comes due
Your path laid bare
You'll be left with your result's heft
And a bag of empty clues
And no one will even care

The Root

See how we treat each other
Control our roles with shame
These fellow, once our brothers
Are now so just in name
A friend or foe distrust has been sown just the same
Connections frayed or hollow
No matter how we try
Our fields of dreams lay fallow
Rivers of hope run dry
They won't be there, our former friends, for when we die
What was
Has rotted
We'd grown from seed together
Trials watering our leaves
When your branch cracked and splintered
You just refused to grieve
How quick you razed our friendship, I could not believe
You've chopped the root from under
No longer squared away
Divided, torn asunder
Our bond has had it's day
Seems an eternal bifurcation of pathways
In my mind it's final
we won't reprise those yesterdays

Lost Man

Up on your feet and away you go
In a dream, no sound, head down, mesmerized by the glow
You've got to look before you leap
Step to the street look out below
No hitch in your gait dead weight through a hole in the road
You'd better look both ways before you cross the street
Wandering the streets after the show
Well don't look now but you don't know which way to go
Time to consult the GPS
Dropped the signal, no steps to trace
No matter which road you take you end up in the same place
In the morning they’ll find you frozen stiff in the shrubs
Then darkness fell upon the room
And waving in the air, the hand of doom
Up off your feet flail away you've known
All along how the song ends, the seeds have always been sown
Lost into the void then returned as a dog
Click means somebody’s listening in
Do you feel the pale horse closing in?
It’s time to meet the maker
Is anybody listening?
Don’t you know you’ve always been -
You’ve always been the caretaker
