1.Buck Up, They're Coming.
The air is good here,
So I'll breathe in deeply,
Then release all that I hold inside.
My lungs are gilded gold,
But I know how the time may go
Before the toxins flow.
I'll wait quietly, I'll wait quietly.
Because I'm afraid
And longing to be brave,
Now, and face these toxins,
Without any fears,
Without one single fear.
Toxins roam these parts
From time to time,
So watch yourself,
Because they might just land themselves
Upon your doorstep.
2.You Can't Escape Them;
Call me a coward, it's so fitting.
I flee from open doors.
They are creaking, cracking open, and there is no way I'll ever
escape them all.
I will proceed in fear. For what is yet to come, I don't know,
but I'll carry on. I'll carry on. Farther and farther from all
that I once held.
Call me a coward, it's so fitting. I flee from open doors. They
are creaking, cracking open, and there is no way I'll ever
escape them all.
I've tried so hard to conspire against the ever present threat
time has on me. It is threatening what I call home. I hold
tighter and tighter but I know I've never been that strong.
Call me a coward, it's so fitting. I flee from open doors. They
are creaking, cracking open, and there is no way I'll ever
escape them all.
I said I would sail the roughest of seas to find some peace, but
I'm backing out again, because I want my oceans in a spoon;
where they're short and shallow;something that I can swallow.
3.You Can't Evade Them.
Lately I've been staring at the clouds
Alive with beauty
Reflecting all that I live
And I can't help but wonder
When will they fade away？
Fearing the dark may come my way
Turning day back into the dreary night
Where clouds I'll never see
I will stare till I can see no more
With dark approaching
I'm longing for answers to
These questions that I pose
When will they fade away？
Fearing the dark may come my way
Turning day back into the dreary night
Where clouds I'll never see
Though outside it's dark and toxic
I'll try not to be afraid
Cause the stars burn brightly
With hope you give, my love
Their bright lights shine
Like beacons in the sky
Guiding me far from this place
Glowing knives cut right through this darkened sky
Till all that's good refills my gaze
4.But You Can Enjoy Life Before And After,
Tiny spheres float in fragile fashion on fluid surfaces
Like time capsules of all ages and spacious intervals
All days and months and years
They hold days and months and years
They hold days and months and years
They hold on to
They are so exposed to surface tension
And pressures of the atmosphere
And they're cashing death threats
Their obituaries merely substance of memory
But death can bring new life
Though most things must die
Float on in fragile fashion
Float on in fragile fashion
Floating onward
Ever waiting for the end to come
That brings all to closure
Clocks are grinning
Bearing witness to the passing time
That turns all to memory
Floating onward
Ever waiting for the end to come
5.Without Fear Of Their Return.
A golden moment's come to pass
And it made a swift goodbye
Waved it hand from left to right
Saying bye, farewell, goodnight
But it left me brave and bold
Like the knights of ages passed
Leaving courage
Like the dawn leaves dew upon the grass
As morning glories bloom
So do some things in life this way
Rising early but well past noon
They weaken, die, and fade
But there's many perspective buds
Still clinging to the vine
Waiting in patience to show
Their glory at later times
Oh, I got what I wanted
And I'll be afraid no more
And face all these toxic things
Cause I have finally found my bravery
I got what I wanted
And I'll afraid no more
And face all these toxic things
Cause I have finally found my bravery
