Eric Clausen

Then repeat it all


 

Today i was angry

Had it up for all to hear

Shouting my frustration 

Selling my fear


 

No one would buy it

So i sat down and cried 

Got a bad feeling now

Even anger has died


 

Today i was darkened

`Lighten up” most do say

There’s a light in the tunnel 

But none in my cave


 

Alone in the darkness 

Of a troubled mind

Searching for answers 

See The question stones grind


 

Leaving dust for the effort 

Because the bearings are bad

Only piles of shavings 

Of the matter we had


 

Today im delivered 

Just in time for the war 

Dropped at the fronts 

Just Left at the door 


 

The lobes of destruction 

Wrought all by myself 

Spinning Wheels of confusion 

Unknown terror on the shelf


 

Jaded from the ugly 

The meek on the run

Characters

Burning bridges 

Now Look what you’ve done 


 

Today i am tired 

Sick in the world of mess

A break in the chain

A link in regress


 

I look past the wrongs 

Seeing that's all they weave

The window is right 

Left outside to believe 


 

My spirit needs rest

Hard at work way to long

Same old is dancing 

To the young new song


 

I hear the rhythm

I feel the beat

In step on the hourglass

With two bleeding feet


 

Today I must separate

oil,water and dew

Can't mix with the madness

Any patience is through 


 

Morning mist is all frozen

Now moss like a rock 

Spoken word ever twisted 

With unreasonable talk


 

Take a glimpse of the future

You won’t like what you see

I feel we can change that

So I’ll start with me


 

Today.
