With a Pocket Full of Lies and Some Vanilla Skies- Part 2
The tub is my kettle and I’m busy dicing
My tears will be the icing on this cake
This knife holds no reason to be fake
And if I will it, it will surely take
Take my life that is just waiting to break
I’m betting that these incandescent lights will be the witnesses to the last
seconds of my life
Tonight was long and it’s soon to be gone
A day is 24 hours long
But I wonder how long I’ll be remembered after I’m gone
And as I bleed I take my seat
On the curb for anyone to understand me is absurd
So have you ever heard the sun rise
And have you ever swam in vanilla skies
Can you decipher truth from lies
Well I’m glad to know someone still dare tries
And now the moonlight makes love to the light of day
From hazel to grey
I think now that’s the way
It makes me proud and my heart pounds in flutters
And the sun peaks over the horizon
And the light that leaks sneaks through the old oak
Then cuts through me like butter
I manage to choke up a final verse
Thank you for making my heart flutter
With a cool breeze my body shutters
An unfamiliar feeling is caught stealing my attention
I must mention that it took all this to show
My heart that the world can still glow
But maybe this came too slow
I must let you know
That no longer does my heart wish to go
The sky of grey carried an insemination of a brand new fascination
My heart has begun a regeneration
Once again I feel the will to fight
Every stab will scab
And if I’m lucky one day I’ll nab a piece of happiness
But until I see the light at the end of the tunnel
I’ll shoot through the night
In hopes that a blind old fool can find the right path
This shadow of an aftermath will walk quietly through the room
Trailing behind memories of agony and gloom
Once I find a piece of bliss
I shall turn around with a smile and beckon bring me that doom
I’m begging to be consumed
Place me where ever has room
I have a pocket full of change
So where is my cab across the river sticks
I’m a final fix with a pocket full of tricks
Shall we make this quick
I’ll let you have your pick
