Somedays

I just have some days
Where I be feeling down
Always keeping a brave face
As this world pushes around.

I just have some days
I wouldn’t mind good company
So much we never say
Know there are times it would be good for me.

Sometimes I just get tired
Of taking all the hits
To have someone I could talk to
Somedays is all I wish.

I ain’t looking for pity
I ain’t no charity case
I just have somedays
Don’t we all mate?

I just have somedays
And don’t we fucking all?
Just have those fucking days
We tire of hitting walls.

I just have somedays
Today was just one of them
But tomorrows a new day
Thank God for fucking them.

Don’t mind what I just said
Today I’m feeling great
Just needed to clear my head
Thanks for being a mate.

Thanks for being there
Is all I want to say
How lucky I truly am
Just being a fool today.

Thanks for your advice
For lending just an ear
I’ll sleep better for it tonight
And would you look, tomorrows nearly here.

Someone Once Asked Me

Someone once asked me if I knew what love is
I only do now, but I always thought I did
Now I know, I’ll never let it escape me
I’ll allow it to grow, and see where it will take me.

I once let it go and now I find it so heart breaking
This dunce had to grow, and allow it to be his making
Now these eyes go to and fro searching for the same thing
Like a million eyes I know this searching can bring aching.

It’s a killer laying low, hurting while your waiting
Always thinking of the one let go, and how hard it will be replacing
I scarred her man I know, till she was done waiting
Then it hits a harder blow, when you know, you let her face the same thing.

Sitting In

I’ve been sitting in
Sipping on my beers
Letting tracks spin
Music to my ears.

I rejoice in company
People free my soul
But sometimes all I want to be
Is in a small space I control.

Where I can just kick back
Maybe grab a pen and pad
Play track after track
Be them happy, loud, or sad.

Music soothes my fears
Beers are few and drunk down slow
Just a few hours free of peers
Before week appears and in machine we go.

Music and a good woman
Often impact on me the same
It’s when alone you deepen lovin’
As they feed your soul and sooth your brain.

I’ve been sitting in
Sipping on my beers
Letting my tracks spin
Music to my ears.

Sing To Me Woman

Sing to me woman
Let your soul scream
A melodic hum
For a dumb boys dream.

Sing to me woman
Pierce sound waves
For a night just begun
And a better run of days.

Sing to me woman
Late after dark
Sweet subtle sounds
From a rip roaring heart.

Sing to me woman
Save my damned soul
With a melodic hum
To beat a drum of heart stole.

Sing to me woman
For you do it so well
Turn night into Sun
Make a heaven outta hell.

Sing to me woman
Sing for us all
Let death hear us coming
Buzzing, for life is a ball.

She Wants

She’s just a child, who wants it all
She wants your heart, to watch you fall.

She wants control, to hear your screams
She wants your soul, make you fear your dreams.

She wants to know, the power is hers
Which you bestow, when you shower with words.

She wants your eyes, so you can’t see
Without her guise, you fear you cannot be.

She wants your hands, so they can’t fight
She wants you man, she wants your might.

She wants your feet, so they can’t walk
You must hear her speak, but you must not talk.

She wants your tears, they oil her parts
Sooth her fears, spoil her heart.
