Sitting near my fireplace
Four walls around me
And a roof over my head.
Seems like my shelter
Has lost it’s grace
Cause I’ve been shivering
And lord knows that I’ve been scared.
Well soon I’ll be turning blue,
Unless you’ll be safe and sound too.
Drinking wine from my golden cup
And my silver plates contain
More than I could ever eat.
Still ain’t nothing seems
To fill me up,
Our will to survive
I far exceeded by our passion to slit.
There ain’t no taste and there ain’t no point of view,
Unless you will have your fair share too.
At day the sun is upon my face
And at night the moon shines
Along with the stars
In the wild I can source
them trees embrace
And I can endorse
all them sins and all them scars.
But soon we move to "mars avenue",
Unless you can stand your ground too.
I hear laughter down the road
And I feel your love mama
Like a spark on my bones
Still the sweetest tales
Are the ones you are told
So do you think you can tell
An ovation from scorn?
But mama I was destined and born to whisper the Blues
Unless you can scream your heart too.
Woke up to a world of empty streets
An oval book of blank endless sheets
But the tale wouldn’t tell whether I exist?
Can I rest, can I eat,
Can I roam and can i breed?
There’s no one out there it’s true
Unless you know that makes the two of you.
