Faisa Two
Cold white hate,
stokes your bones,
you who are always late,
I give money to schools,
you've got no phone,
but smile like a fool,
why try to engage,
when you're that gone,
all that baggage,
who needs more proof,
when you sit and moan,
i'll show you,
there are no bedmates,
blown on weather zones,
who'll rescue your case,
they say you zoom,
let everything blow,
when you lock the room,
I’ll cheat that fate,
wear sturdy clothes,
find gold in the grate,
shine a shiny stone.

Faisa
Bring me sparkling jewels,
let me laugh through tears,
no need to be cruel,
my voice brings you grace,
what else can you fear,
there is no bad faith,
turn your head you fool,
you need this siren near,
don't feel bemused,
my singing tells your fate,
perfume costs you dear,
listen before too late,
dreams and other rules,
you ache for visions clear,
golden domes pursued,
along the shipping lanes,
a whole life in fear,
to carry so much freight,
dance at torrid news,
find a passage clear,
pull away your issues,
set sail for better years.

Look at me I seethe,
is it my grey hair,
do I need new teeth,
am I always too late,
as if you'd care,
use me like a fallen gate,
what might have been,
it's not fair,
who needs a life of ease,
nights I sway,
without a slur,
I can take the strain,
don't sing of the sea,
you're not that aware,
these fine evenings,
like a fish to the bait,
your eyes blur,
say I'm great,
but can you love me,
do you dare,
I'm shaping to leave,
are you scared?

Bum notes make me faint,
where else can you go,
this session group look grave,
forget what's not fair,
in the life of soul,
I’m not square,
give the eye and hesitate,
don't make them groan,
show them the milky way,
it's not my long hair,
plaided like a tow rope,
that makes them scared,
I go against the grain,
out here alone,
find it hard to delegate,
my songs make them care,
think it’s you they own,
those inside the circle,
singing keeps me resonate,
the world's not made of stone,
hands across my face,
all you need to know.

Don't break holy orders,
claim it’s all your mother,
stuff you swore,
love's free to cash,
all the stuff you smother,
a window without a sash,
you can see my core,
belly like an oven,
a flame of burning more's,
whenever money's crap,
you curse your brother,
he says it’s not on tap,
hard stuff behind his door,
fools live without clutter,
then run away fraught,
no book or deeds stashed,
you won’t lie like the others,
ignore their dash,
you'll pay a heavy score,
you’ve always been another,
love for you is raw,
better take cover.

Lit up at some ocean bar,
well within the hurricane zones,
searching for forgotten laws,
only fools pay their dues,
let you drink alone,
leave you here to stew,
you can only go so far,
before the lining folds,
start to skimp on cards,
even without a feud,
on throwaway 'phones,
your ravaged face turns Blue,
your hair is like tar,
Saints reveal their bones,
where is your Da,
the trail is well used,
far away from home,
life circles around you,
yours is not a lucky star,
that hits the right note,
hotel toilets for a Spa,
tales of love a joke.

I throw away the years,
every age has its crust,
the laughs and happy tears,
no life is too short,
for those in whom you trust,
in our toil of waters,
you run like the deer,
with a smell of musk,
in hazy bars you step clear,
I knew you’d be caught,
spinning pennies in the dust,
but never overawed,
what brought you here,
on this tidal flood,
a woman so sincere,
no book or district Court,
hides the fact you’re bust,
or what I sought,
blow flame across my fears,
bring me all the luck,
hope before you disappear,
geese ride on the dusk.
