Epiphany
Just a little taste you need
A little hole from which you bleed
A little sting removes the pain
In the gutter you lay again
The night is spent in a complete daze
the lights in the dark hidden in haze
The happiness fake, the pain hidden shallow
the pride left over receives a blow
All of a sudden your mind is clear
You don't want to lose what you hold dear
Like a grain of sand through an hourglass
You fear this epiphany simply won't last
Run as fast as you possibly can
Run and bump into woman and man
Trying to find a place you don't know
A place to shield you from what you fear so
"Get outta 'ere" is screamed your way
You stop a moment and start to sway
Drop to your knees with a stunned look in your eye
Hands to your face as you start to cry.
Nobody knows what you're doing here
With a short gasp you show your fear
Needle and spoon come out with a thought
The feeling of bliss again is wrought
The Price of a Dream
The needle stings
his smile brightens
his knees stop shaking
the burden lightened
Walking on a cloud
all is well
when he comes down
hes back in hell
He coughs and chokes
then cries a little
The price of his dream
Takes the form of a needle
The price of a dream
is different to all
Like a flight without wings
and a great big fall
A man on the streets
drowns in cheap liquor
his only possession
an unframed picture
He holds it tight to his chest
and thinks of lost love
a great feeling of guilt
and a tear drop on his glove
He looks back to his past
haunted by regret
the price of his dream
was a choice he can't forget
The price of a dream
is different to all
Like a flight without wings
and a great big fall
The life of a man, is full of flights
wings that waiver, struggle for height
you close your eyes and start to fall
and all you wish for is death to all.
