The Flowers

I have my books I hide behind
that tell me how to mould my life
day in, day out, you’ve got to know how to control internal strife
what happened to this life? folks used to be so nice
things aren’t what they used to be
now people are so selfish - so I don’t love anyone
anyone except for me
why don’t they stop & look at the flowers?
what are they always rushing for?
why don’t they see the sun that shines into their eyes?
what are they always rushing for?
I have my books I hide behind
that tell me how to change the world
but sometimes I feel no one ever even listens anymore
what happened to good times? shopkeepers used to smile
people used to be refined
now people are such pigs - so I don’t love anything
anything I can’t enshrine
why don’t they stop & look at the flowers?
what are they always rushing for?
why don’t they see the sun that shines into their eyes?
what are they always rushing for?
why don’t they stop & look at the flowers?
what are they always rushing for?
idiot leaders, television
what are they always rushing for?

What We Believe

you grew up watching the world go by
you grew up after a long, long while
blinded by the bright city lights
that shine like stars that you can't count
doesn't it feel more lonely the more places that you go
& doesn't your voice seem that much softer
the louder that you shout?
now we cling on like to a sleeve
to what we know & what we believe
& what we want is just to grasp it all in our hands
we grew up thinking our parents were right
then we thought only we’d seen the light
we were blinded by the bright city lights
& we were wrong more times than we could count
but doesn't it feel more lonely the older that you get
& doesn't your voice seem that much softer
the louder that you shout?
so now we cling on like to a sleeve
to what we know & what we believe
& what we want is just to grasp it all in our hands
