The Dreamers

Black eyed ravens
They spiral down
They tilt his head back
To the flame filled sunset
Raise their guns high
As the darken falls
These are the days boys
Shallow man
Shallow man (shallow man) and they
Eats in the doorways with his head inclined
And hes always in decline
No-one hears anymore
So he shrinks as they ride
Under vermillion skies
So it goes (so it goes)
Just a searcher (so it goes)
Lonely soul (so it goes)
The last of the dreamers (so it goes)
Shallow man
Shallow man
Speaks to the shadows
Moves his trembling hands
And hes always a little late
For the dawning of the day
So it goes (so it goes)
Just a searcher (so it goes)
Lonely soul (so it goes)
The last of the dreamers (so it goes)
(so it goes) just a searcher
(so it goes) lonely soul
(so it goes) the last of the dreamers (so it goes)
(so it goes) just a searcher
(so it goes) lonely soul
(so it goes) the last of the dreamers (so it goes)
(so it goes)
(so it goes)
(so it goes)
(so it goes)

Shallow Days...

well, there are
shallow days, nothing deep

something for my
feet,

above me the sun
one and only one sun

just the sun and my head
and the shallow waters
on my toes

and the noon time walk
when everyone is as usual

having lunch, and
my toes get wet and i

am making meanings
on the shallow waters

the body in the middle of
this air, the hands are like

eagles flying. the fingers are
turning into feathers

So Lonely

Well someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just dont care
You look as if youre going somewhere
But I just cant convince myself
I couldnt live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely
Know no ones knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and no where to go
Welcome to this one man show
Just take a seat theyre always free
No surprise no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
I feel so lonely...

Shallow Grave

When I fall in endless sleep
I hope that I'll be buried deep
Let me be the one that fortune favours
Even good children got shallow graves
Throw another clown to the lions
Throw another Joan on the blaze
Cast me away on the cruel calm ocean
and leave me for days and days and days and days and days
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
I won't lie, I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
Bless the poor 'cos like the rich
They all end up in a ditch
In this world of fools and knaves
Even good children got shallow graves
The tinker, the tailor, the fabulous five
Nobody gets out of this alive
Chorus
Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
Dig me down, dig me down, dig me down deep
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave

Through shallow intellect, the mind becomes shallow, and one eats the fly, along with the sweets.

The Lonely Soul

The lonely soul wanders
Alone in the walks of life
No other soul as his companion
The lonely soul wanders

Alone in the daybreak
He does his duties
In the walks of life
The lonely soul wanders

Alone in the life
He meets many other souls
Who comes to be
Unfit for the lonely soul
The lonely soul wanders

As the days pass by
The lonely soul became
More lonely, with no other
souls as his companion
The lonely soul wanders

Alone in the walks of life
The lonely soul decides
Not to die, but to face
Life in all its hardships
The lonely soul wanders

It Is Worth Living

and so
i shall take advantage of the low tide in my life
go to the shallow shores
and pick some
sea grass and shells and
urchins

how beautiful does the sea floor
look
with all its tiny crabs
and grapes

this is the way to please a lonely soul
it shall search even if it does not find any
it shall make all the tiny parts of this earth
significant

shall i forget that grain of sand for a universe?
the shallow shore for a coastline as though i have the Bahamas in my
hands?

the mind knows how to magnify shreds of happy moments
into flying carpets of its endless imagination

and so this shall be it
the man without power against the world that laughs over
the powerless

the winds of poetry are calling
on board
the trip is endless

it is interesting
it is beautiful and i say with gladness that it is worth living.

Captain Nemo

Captain nemo is too good for you and me
Take a voyage to the bottom of the sea
Hes a riddle you will see in the middle of the sea
If you ask him things about life, then he will say:
Oh no, Im far too continental for mankind
I dont interfere in your life
See me as a searcher with the answers
To your world from under the sea
Captain nemo knows the world be we dont know
What control of light and darkness means
Hell show
If we come in peace at heart
He may help us to restart what went wrong
So long ago from down below
Oh no, Im far too continental for mankind
I dont interfere in your life
See me as a searcher with the answers
To your world from under the sea
See him as a searcher with the answers to mankind
Hes far too continental
Though hes wiser than all man
He is curious about the plan
Violated by the man, the master plan
Oh no, hes far too continental for mankind
He doesnt interfere in your life
See him as a searcher with the answers
To your world from under the sea
Oh no, hes far too continental for mankind
He doesnt interfere in your life
See him as a searcher with the answers
To your world from under the sea
Oh no, hes far too continental for mankind
Under the sea

Am I

AM I just a tattered soul
lost in this lonely lonely dream
AM I just a wandering heart
with noone to bring me in
AM I just another girl
that you dated once before
AM I only just the girl
you liked, but not anymore
AM I just the gun
that was placed upon your head
AM I just the grave
that they placed your body in
AM I just the letter
that arrived one day to late
AM I just the words
that said im sorry and i love you
AM I just the thought
that most like you think
AM I just a tattered soul
lost in this lonely lonely dream

Heel On The Shovel

Im diggin you a shallow grave
An to the sun your face Ill raise
Im diggin you a shallow grave
One hundred buzzards buzzin
I seen death hangin from the tallest tree
Eyes closed no lookin back at me
Ye they came an took him in the night
The one who kissed em was greed
O everyone will see
An everyone will know
Boy you reap what you sow
Im diggin you a shallow grave
An on your rotten bones Ill raise
Yellow daisies
For my true loves hair
One hundred buzzards buzzin
I see death runnin from his majesty
O lord where is the fear in me
In between your praying hands
You hold the skeleton key

A shallow heart

Shallow is the heart

That wears it's tears and smiles

That courts each wind of chance

In fleeting breaths

Undressed upon a rude stage

Shallow is the heart

That waltzes in the dark

And light

Who keeps a brute amused

With brutishe charms

And brittle lies

Shallow is the heart

That weaves a web

To catcha star

And holds the ghost soul

In it's gaze but for a while

Then beats a slow retreat

Murmurs and regurgitates

Upon it's core

That stops a mighty throng

With piercing cries

And stops the clocks in midst of chimes

Til heard no more

What's Behind My Eyes

What is behind my eyes?
A genius,
A lonely soul
One searching for comfort
Hoping for acceptance

What is behind my eyes?
A fighter
A lonely soul
Only wanting final peace
Wishing for a true friend

What is behind my eyes?
A school boy
A lonely soul
Who can't quite grasp reality
Learning new aspects of life

What is behind my eyes?
A peacekeeper
A lonely soul
Who always solves others' problems
Praying to solve his own

What is behind my eyes?
A student
A lonely soul
Constantly studying forms
Looking for some reason to live

What is behind my eyes?
A lost child
A lonely soul
Always whining and cowering
Searching for his family

What is behind my eyes?
A young teacher
A lonely soul
Never resting so that she may help
Dreaming of past happiness

What is behind my eyes?
A companion
A lonely soul
One who lends out comfort
Hoping to receive its own

What is behind my eyes?
