Death of an Illusion

As I’m gazing at my shoes
I feel an overwhelming panic
And I thought I knew this place
Is it on another planet ?
And the people - are they people - ?
Seem to look like they can stand it..
But the air is laden here
Its so heavy like they’ve planned it.
Oh I’m stuck and pinned and planted
where the dark evolves and brands me
And I’m clinging to the surface
In case my sanity unhands me.
And the dirt might just rise up
and explode in my subconscious
And the earth might just revolve
And rise up on its haunches..
And the feelings that I’m having
- far more real they seem than you are
And I don’t know if I’m talking or
if I’m hearing your guitar..
And the storm that’s here inside me
Could be breaking in the sky
I could be there and yet still here
I could be watching you go by.
I could be standing on a ledge
And feeling glad that I survive
But I teeter on the edge
And just breathe and stay alive

Are the voices in your head too much.. ?
Are they saying this and that.. or so and such..
Get some advice.. ?
That's just another sound..
Get some escape.. ?
Touch the ground..
- Make the voices DANCE
- Make the voices DANCE
Are you stigmatised?
Can’t really say a word.
Want to reach out?
But that would be absurd.
Instead, lock yourself with these
Creatures of your doom.
Cannot be heard, cannot be helped.
Life is an empty room.
- Make the voices DANCE
- Make the voices DANCE
Abandoned ?
Unwell?
You had a mind now you've lost it..
Not only you can tell.
Or perhaps you think that somehow you are fine.
( Who would blame you in this callous world.. )
Your portals are open, you see the shit and the sublime.
- Make the voices DANCE
- Make the voices DANCE
Kiss - kiss me now..
Kiss… kiss me now..
You are mine..
Kiss - kiss me now..
Kiss… kiss me now..
You are mine..
Come on over here.. walk into the light..
Come on over here.. where there is no day and no night..
Be my willing servant. That’s all you want to do..
Service makes us human.. It will be me and you..
Dance
Dance to my tune..
- Make the voices DANCE
- Make the voices DANCE

U got one when u strum Leela neva far away
There’s a ton more to come change the stakes when u play
It’s not u coming thro till u make it that way
I can start, take apart, just zone in take away.
Yeah - levels are up or down.. then is this or it’s that
Pan to the left or the right or keep it flat..
We not trying to be cleva keep u guessing or any what not..
We steering in the groove get our fries when they hot!!
Leela know that her voice is her highway to truth
It’s not what u hear her say - it’s the fact that it’s straight - here’s her youth..
Pause to reflect, but don’t deflect cause u see..
Keep treading the path it might be naff but it’s the best it can be..
Tomorrow’s a secret but have faith it’ll come
If ur tone comes alone it‘ll have grown up the seed.
Dwee dwee dap
Scooby doo dah
Scat might be passe-
But we are where we are..
Drawn to this drawn to that
Monotone is it, to you?
But at least it's my chaos or stillness u looking through
Do u see me in it, my form in the frame?
Still, - in the snow
Now u playing the game..
I can’t b right and I neva will
But I can b me..
Softly, yet firmly and never let go..

This
This is your moment.
Stop awhile.. .
Savour.
Can you grasp hold?
No?
Sneaky innit?
Every time you begin
It
Slips from your fingers.
Want to hold it tight.
Squeeze it.
Yet it pours thro' the leaks like
squelchy clay.
Just not gonna stay..
Wey hey...
Though feel it
So SMOOOTH
The oozing moving slime
Is just SUBLIME...
Let it cascade over every pore.
Whoar.. .
Mm loving how it soothes
My soul.
Always told to move
To get it:
And yet this defies capture.
I’m in RAPTURE.
Oh it's so..
Blissful
Not to be able to do much but play.
Let me say…
Or let me not..
Let me just STOP.
This this
this this
this..
Is the BIZZ

What a difference a day makes -
Try to remember it's never something that lasts
All those tasks piling up
all those moments of pleasure...
Fleeting.
Any philosopher would tell you the same..
Say “lock into the only thing that’s real”
That’s it's all stolen
Moments.
One minute you are in bliss
The next you plummet.
So own it...
When its good - keep it great!
And if not, don’t bleed - more than you have to.
Hone it...
Get the into the task of forgetting that you think you’re it...
You think you’re fit for anything
When you’re not.
You’ll stop just like anyone else
On the clock.
That tick
Will be the last
and you’ll have passed..

Gonna Play My Guitar
Night,
White
Lights
Keep it Bright…
Night,
White
Lights
Keep it Bright…
Now I’m sitting in the car
Gotta get out and go to the bar
And I’m wondering what its all about
Do I wanna get out? Do I wanna get out?
Gonna go to a folk night
Gonna play my guitar
Gonna go to a folk night
Gonna play my guitar
Hurrah. Hurrah
(Gonna play my Guitar)
Everyone’s gonna hear my licks
gonna hit 'em with it see what sticks
gonna grab that neck so tight
Gonna make my music right!!
Hurrah!
Gonna find my star..
Fada da digudugahdagaduh!
In reality I’m not that good -
But this is what I sound like in my dreams!
In reality I’m not that good
But this is what I sound like in my dreams
In reality I’m not that good
But this is what I sound like in my dreams
I'm a sensitive musician...

U took my phone and now I roam without a keyboard on which to play
I’m all alone just turned to stone there isn’t night there isn’t day
Got only grief let’s keep it brief. I’m other worldly in the zone
But here I’m lost and at what cost u better watch it - cover’s blown..
I’m secret agent no relation not a gamer just a dude
And yet u see me or u won't cos if you do that means u screwed.
I am the shadows or the image u try to keep within u mind
I am the eva present moment and the thought to leave behind..
Now I’m open but not cracked yet but I’m place and under drawn
Like a sketch not yet a figure I’m just lurking in ur scorn
I am smilin' but not smirking I’m emotion number 2
Who’d 've thought it when u got me I could keep it and get thro?
Yeah - so now I turbo.. Got my charger n it’s underneath this skin
Just keep walkin’ gently stalking so far there’s nothing comin’ in
I am suited for a conflict but its neurons and not wires
I’m like the rest of u now don’t dream on screen but LIVES, perspires..
U havent got me - u unlocked me and I thank u cos I free..
And I be that way for eva until I end.. or u end me..
I am small and I am compact hardly much to get u fight
A tiny bit of plastic with a code all power and condensed might..

So gonna call you
To task
I ask
Only that you sit ’n listen a while
But don’t concentrate
Just let it flow..
Like a bad show
You’re not really here
But not there either..
Can’t let it fly past
bit of you stick to it
Bits of it to you.
And here’s the news..
Generate
Generate..
Don’t necessarily procreate,
Just be.. and whatever you see
That you think’s worth replicating
- pass it on..
And if its not it, then drop it..
Cause you are part of creation..
No adulation
No solicitation..
But if you stop to cop out
Then its all going on without ya..
yet your offerings are all part of it..
This stew that we’re sitting in
Its up to us to keep ourselves tenderising..
So that at the end of it all
Even if its the fall
It wasn’t a pointless exercise.
Is there some great chef. ?
Or do we just die.. ?
Or does that really matter
That silly chatter about invention or design
I’m fine with whatever words you use, cause you’re my muse. .
And yet - don’t forget - I’m yours..
Much as you are my nightmare, or compere..
I get to be part of yours too.. .
Introducing.. a concept for you..
That may scare you.. but its so..
Here is your life
and the consequences of it..
Say “Hello!!”
