The Latchkey
Sometimes I think I’m all alone
No one that really cares

Not Mom or Dad they work all day
They’ve little time to spare
They’ve got to work for food and clothes
And bills that they must pay

Sometimes I wish we’d leave this place
We’d all go far away...

Amateur Saboteur
Best you had,
Now that’s sad.
Well I’m glad.
I’m no fad,
I’m ironclad.
You alright,
Not so bright.
Can’t you fight,
With this spite.
Where’s the might.
Times ago,
Now shadow.
Left me low,
In the snow,
You now owe.
I then die,
When I cry,
To the sky,
Up so high,
When you lie.
Why is she,
More than me?
You love thee,
I disagree.
Lone latchkey.
In this blur,
This you stir,
And occur.
Amateur,
Saboteur....
