Out to Sea

Its been a long long road
and I've seen the curses fold
(though I'm getting old)
what dreams are meaningful to hold?
and what does meaning mean to me
when every cursed die is rolled?
I wouldn't ask you if I could
I turned my back to you just as I should
Somebody recited a poem
(as your bitter winds had blown)
a verse I felt I'd always known
consulted every bard I could
Thirsting for my reaction
I turned my back to you just as I should
left out to sea again
as former friends
betrayed me where I stood
Though I'm pained to see you pass
there's something I'd love to ask
have you ever faced yourself
as you face me
and what, then, did you see?
Thirsting for my reaction
I turned my back to you just as I should

Weakened Prey

I thought I'd found my place
but soon that notion was replaced
rejected
even when I wasn't asking for acceptance
Are you to be sure
that what is sought for is a cure?
And so I ask this unto you
oh, could it really be true?
that some just hunt for weakened prey
that some have never fought to greet the day?
And before you have to ask
I do still feel the lash across my back
where he would crack
I do still feel the psychic blows of his attacks
Oh, but of course to relate
in every possible way
would be my fate
Are you to be sure
that what is sought for is a cure?
And so I ask this unto you
oh, could it really be true
that some just hunt for weakened prey
that some have never fought to greet the day?
And before you have to ask
I do still feel the lash across my back
where he would crack
I do still feel the psychic blows of his attacks

Trash Records) while living in separate states. ... more
