Nothing else to note,
a knife in constant train,
dreams forever float,
they'll depart by noon,
bloodied on the waves,
despite all their views,
won't be ruled by scrotes,
never hesitate,
feel love in our bones,
rage against their hooks,
who needs brains,
to turn a ship of fools,
laugh at our stretched tones,
hold their broken gaze,
we're not rolling stones,
no need to swoon,
only Brigands seek escape,
we don’t need the moon,
capture those of little note,
hang them on the gate,
make them dance then go,
leave us to be great.

Go on make your jokes,
you won't disturb my waves,
worry if I’ll cope,
never stoop to choose,
or simply smile away,
know how much you’ll lose,
am not a dope,
to encourage easy traits,
believe there is no hope,
if you want good news,
let others stand and gape,
what stands here is true,
see them scream and moan,
note every brutal face,
scared in futile show,
I'll separate the Blue,
raise distant wood and sail,
suffer any loss without you,
some things you can’t know,
it never is too late,
to defend our place alone,
it's our great escape.

Is it just this time,
your mother comes,
singing us a bitter line,
asks why you don't phone,
speak up or stay dumb,
spite in her throat,
grounds of family lies,
plays the eternal victim,
never on what's wise,
she burns on everglow,
says you need some fum,
beyond this fusspot home,
you who has to chime,
cringing C’mon Mmum,
shaking deep inside,
it nourishes her bones,
to diminish different love,
face like a stone,
each morning a new crime,
hardly wastes a crumb,
her face a purple shine,
what you've done ?

What it means to try,
within a screaming gale,
hoping not to lie,
in my bones,
you don't need to flail,
to find yourself alone,
studying a time,
when life’s a trail,
helped only by sunshine,
when love dies in tone,
a house has another face,
no one else comes home,
flip a coin see the sky,
think of taking sail,
best to leave the why's,
walk-on broken stones,
discard desolate mail,
be kind to weeping hosts,
try to dance sometimes,
can't be worse than jail,
embrace uncertain smiles,
you're allowed to fail.

She says from on high,
is that the sea,
you have to wonder why,
if this bag holds good,
she’s as bad as me,
face hollowed like wood,
diamond jewels borne bright,
her hopes of eternity,
just don't seem right,
something with my blood,
she elaborates breezily,
never do what I should,
smoky blue across the sky,
nothing else bears scrutiny,
in this eartly light,
we're so sad and cool,
who expects sympathy,
when we act like fools,
on these long flights,
we drink for company,
maybe she's right,
to seek reease.

Love holds the door ajar,
hair spills down my face,
lovers don't get very far,
sit around looking cool,
watch silken trees at play,
act like being Dudes,
you whisper about your Da,
just another blatent,
lonely as a shooting star,
the money he's tooled,
said he'd put away,
took all of us for fools,
now drives a burnt out car,
banished from charades,
no room here for sharks,
you'll drain his pool,
forget the hurt he makes,
rid that other part of you,
stop his tab at the bar,
let him feel the pain,
try to live without scars,
who is he anyway ?.

Whoever dares to say,
family warms our bones,
don't come this way,
the picture's not kind,
we can cry but won’t,
being home isn't right,
thoughts risen slain,
ghosts like in some war,
make parents to blame,
clear as harvest light,
with hardly a sound,
they waved us goodbye,
said go take a train,
like a winter's love,
find your own game,
no horizon's bright,
to navigate alone,
no one has that right,
a line on my face,
says just carry on,
everyone's the same,
who hears that sound.
