Cares

HAVING certain cares to drown,
To the sea I took them down:
And I threw them in the wave,
That engulfed them like a grave.

Swiftly then I plied the oar
With a light heart to the shore.

But behind me came my foes:
Like a nine-days’ corpse each rose,

And (a ghastly sight to see!)
Clutched the boat and grinned at me!

With a heavy heart, alack,
To the land I bore them back.

Not in Water or in Wine
Can I drown these cares of mine.

But some day, for good and sure,
I shall bury them secure,

Where the soil is rich and brown,
With a stone to keep them down,

And to let their end be known,
Have my name carved on the stone;

So that passers-by may say,
“Here lie cares that had their day,”

And sometimes by moonlight wan,
I may sit that stone upon—

With a spectre’s solemn phlegm—
In my shroud, and laugh at them;

Or—who knows, when all is said?—
Maybe weep because they’re dead.

Who Cares?

Tell me, jesus,
Are you angry?
One more sheep has,
Just gone astray
A hardening of hearts,
Turning to stone
Wandering off,
So far from home
So many children,
Losing time
Walk in darkness,
Looking for a sign
Chasing their rainbows,
The future looks so bright
Slowly were losing,
Sight of the light
Who cares?
Who cares?
Who cares?
Tell me who cares?
Who cares?
All alone,
Out in the cold
Cant look back,
Am I growing old
I chose a path,
Is this my fate
Am I finding out,
The truth too late
Chorus
Here I am,
A naked man
Nothing to hide
With empty hands
Remember me,
I am the one
Who lost his way,
Your prodigal son
Who cares?
Who cares?
Who cares?
Tell me who cares?
Who cares?
Am I ever gonna change
Will I always stay the same
Say one thing
Then I do the other
Same old song
Goes on forever
Rise, rise n shine
A new day is coming
Yes it is!

Whats Within My Heart

Will I never see again
The smiling faces of my friends
Could it be theyve gone completely
And though thoughts will linger
Sweetly in my heart
May I hear once more
The bird calls my name
May I be permitted just one friend
To share my game
The one who doesnt give a damn
For what I seem to be
And really cares for what I am and
Whats within my heart
I believe the sun will shine
And I know that given time
The leaves will blow tumble and
Cry upon the autumn stone below
And my heart grows tired each day
As the sun grow cold
Weary uninspired each day
Til the story is told
You gave your love to one
Who only wants
What you seem to be
And doesnt really care for you or
Whats within your heart
On my grave lay one black rose
Do this for me but dont suppose
Because Im gone, my soul is dead
For Ill be here in spirit
And our love once more
There must be a heart somewhere
In need of the love I have
That will reach out in sincerety and
Take my life in hand
Then Ill know its not some one
Who wants just what I seem to be
The one who cares
For what I am and
Whats within my heart
Whats within my heart ...

Rainy Day Women #12 & 35

Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good,
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home.
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone.
But i would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat.
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor.
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door.
But i would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
They'll stone ya when you are young and able.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck.
They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck."
Tell ya what, i would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end.
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again.
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Yes, but i would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone.
They'll stone you when you are walking home.
They'll stone you and then say you are brave.
They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave.
But i would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

Around # 2

lost your job, lost your house,
just standing in a line.
aint got a prayer, nobody cares,
feel like you're doing time.

your family gone, now right is wrong,
what you believed has disappeared.
stone upon stone, bone upon bone,
nothing left, nothing endured.

and the world comes crashing down.
in too deep, the fearful drown.
stand up and be, or just sit down.
what goes around comes around!

Caring For a Dead Fish

When the cupboard is bare
And the cat’s had the cream,
Who cares about a dead fish?

When the house is on fire
And the birds have all flown,
Who cares about a dead fish?

When your loved ones have gone
And you’re left all alone,
Who cares about a dead fish?

When the seas have dried up
And the land is all desert,
Who cares about a dead fish?

When the Sun has gone Nova
And we’re all blown to bits,
Who cares about a dead fish?

When it’s all empty space
And there’s nothing at all,
Even a dead fish would be worth caring about.

I'm Just So Sorry But No One Cares About You(Revised In Line Form)

No one cares.
I'm just so sorry but no one cares about you.
No reason to get upset.
Do your own thing as you always do.
Let the time fade.
Follow the suns escape.
Take me somewhere, anywhere but here.
Like a ghost I just want to disappear.
It removes all fear.
Preparing for another sacrifice.
Such is life.

No one cares.
I'm just so sorry, but no one cares about you.
Marching to my own rhythm.
Lead or follow.
Where do you go when the heart becomes so hollow?
How do you fill the void?
Are you feeling a little paranoid?
Trust no one.

All because no one cares.
I'm just so sorry, but no cares about you.
All alone,
Naked and full of shame.
Who's really to blame?
Do you admit the fault as your own?
Or do you mention someones name and complain?
Are you insane?
Completely mad.
A mad hatter off his rocker just a little bit.

All because no one cares.
I'm just so sorry but no one cares about you.
Oh about you.
It's always about you.
No such thing as a selfless act.
This is a fact.
Nothing for free.
This is a favor that can be later be redeemed! ! !

All because no one cares,
I'm just so sorry but no one cares about you.

No Honor Among Thieves

(nathan crow/david wills)
This worlds a jungle there aint no justice
Laws of nature rule this land
Better hide your horses, bury your whiskey
Hold your woman any way you can
Cause there aint no right or wrong, nothings carved in stone
It aint cheating if you dont get caught
Jokers laugh and losers grieve
Cause out here theres no honor among thieves
That woman youve been loving, she was another mans
You stole her heart while his nack was turned
On every corner theres an outlaw waiting
Who wants to teach you what you never learned
Cause there aint no right or wrong, nothings carved in stone
It aint cheating if you dont get caught
Jokers laugh and losers grieve
Cause out here theres no honor among thieves
This worlds a jungle there aint no justice
Laws of nature rule this land
So dont go crying when her love goes flying to
The thieving arms of another man
There aint no right or wrong, nothings carved in stone
It aint cheating if you dont get caught
Loves a deck of cards read them and weep
Cause out here theres no honor among thieves
Yeah
There aint no right or wrong
Nothings carved in stone

A Stone Griffin

a stone griffin
stern of heart
untouched
by exultant love

sits upon high
sits upon eves
in stone judgment
in heart of stone

face carved
in stone
emotionless
heartless

looking down
all passes
beneath sight
beneath grasp

look up
bodies inflamed
with emotions
passionate

we might miss
the light,
shining forth
from stars,

if we
do not,
raise
our heads,

to greater
expectations
emboldened
stellar blaze

Wake Up!

You put your cleanest dirty shirt on
Then you stagger down to meet the dawn
You take a ride upon a bus, its just a fuss
You know it keeps you born
You get to know a morning face
You get to join the human race
You get to know the world
Has passed you by
Who cares? you might be dead
Who cares? you stayed in bed
Who cares? you wrote the note
Who cares? you might have spoke
Wake up!
You take a snack to fill the gap
And then youre ready for another shift
Your attention was diverted
By the girl who smiled and made the lift
The radio is blaring out
Its in one ear and then its out
You didnt notice that the records over
Who cares? you might be dead
Who cares? you stayed in bed
Who cares? you wrote the note
Who cares? you might have spoke
Wake up!
In the road a crowd had gathered
And a man was close to dead
The blood is running down the gutter
While youre yawning, nothings said
His bodys wriggling like an eel
They got no sense, no touch, no feel
Somebody better go and get a blanket
Who cares? you might be dead
Who cares? you stayed in bed
Who cares? you wrote the note
Who cares? you might have spoke
Who cares?

Stone

The days have passed, nights are gone,
I'm still in love with a stone,
The seasons changed, the clay too came,
I still hold it with no moan,
The clay comes to me in so many shapes,
Wants me to hold it, whatever it may take,
But clay can hurt me, clay may fake,
Even if it's clay, I have a heart it can break,
The season may change,
The clay may go,
Slowing my heart beat,
All time low,
Stone is hard,
Stone is black,
Stone is emotionless,
Doesn't stab at back,
The clay, the stone, both make me die,
But if a stone does, even the clay may cry...
and I'll never ask why...
It's better to live with a stone,
not clay,
Clay is soft, but it hurts,
which is not the stone's way.....

All alone in this world

I am all alone in this world
No one else, but me
I am the only one for me.
I have to care for myself
Cry when I need to,
Laugh when Happiness reaches me.
Live in a world of sorrow,
No one else cares, but me.
I am all alone in this world
I stand alone
All by myself
Others just stare
I pretend I don't care
But this heart always says
How can I live in a world
Where no one else, but me cares
Where I drown in sorrow
Cause others can pull me out
If they want, but they just let me drown
I am all alone in this world
I stand alone
With no one there
And I do care.
I want to change the way I live
I want to not stand alone,
But maybe standing alone can help

Just Drown

I'm sorry I'm no longer around.
I'm sorry you can no longer hear my foots steps as they hit the ground.
You angered every inch of me.
Go ahead live in your sin and filth.
