The sun from the Teletubbies had it right

maybe I'm comfortable just where I am
coasting around like the sea and the sand
unimpressed when you see where I stand
but honestly I just feel the breeze and I'm,
glad.
people want moments
dreamers want fame
the greedy want money
all of its lame
I just want grins on the daily
kids one day maybe
and a reason to get up and still feel okay,
is that too much to ask?

everybody wants an ending

I see you sitting down,
so soft and silent.
You've got that hidden frown,
But you're still smiling.
You still can't figure out,
If livings worth the price.
Your minds in constant bout,
Shame the opponents Mike
Tyson.
The thoughts an anchor its
tied on.
Your eyes are sunk like ships
tired one.
Just want to sleep but scared to
try once...

Drowning in the pessimism,
Begging for an ear to listen,
Running from a faulty system,
But the wires run for miles,
And the copper in the cables,
Is heavy on your ankles.
To busy looking for an off switch,
To consider disconnecting.
Thunder before the storm
Never heard, never noticed

Bleached hearts

I've got a bleached heart,
Faded little engine that'll jump start,
At the thought of love,
But the love is always off-white.

Skin kissed with burn scars,
Heart scared from the lost ones,
Bleach  baths for when its all wrong,
Sink low and wash the pain off.

Clean slates are getting kind of lonely,
companionships leave the waters muddy,
gotta keep it clean,
save my heart from trouble.
Porcelain dreams,
love without a struggle.

Shame about the lack of colour,
Red is passion, rage, and pain.
Blue is sorrow, Loss, and tears
White is nothing.

To whoever comes next,
Rip the hear out of my chest,
Paint the whole thing
Red or blue?
