Homeless.

The mask that hides a man
Is a castle made of sand
It has the form
But sand is hardly stone.

In comes the tide
Decry, deride
Tear that wall on down
Each novel wave
Creates a grave
A weight, a waste, a frown

Should we strengthen our foundation?
Rebuild from the ground on up
All memories must go
Store wide clearance
Blank slate
No pain
Is gain
Let's go
Let's "Start again"

All it takes
It just one tear
To end a world of sand

Your problem is
You're not fired up
Heat the sand
You get some glass
Ain't no waves gonna
Tear you
Wear you
Scare you down
No more.

And now man's mask's
A wall of glass
It don't crumble
But it shatters when it's stoned

I see you, through my walls
You walk and talk like me
You seem like me
You like me
Look at me
Help me
Love me...
But if you think to break the glass
Cop a feeling
Pinch an ass
You'll find we both can bleed

Well maybe glass just ain't the way
Let's build a castle made of clay
Can't see in, don't fade away
Sounds just fine to me.

Heat the kiln
Let's make it hot
The harder the shell
The hotter the hell
Inside

Ain't nobody gonna see me now
Ain't nobody gonna reach me now
Ain't nobody gonna take these walls away

What you got that I ain't got?
You think your snot has got a shot
At turning lead to gold?
You don't care
You don't dare
You just swear
And tear
And grin
Cock
Your gun
And fire, fire, fire away

I'm a phantom in your cage of mirrors
Or maybe my eyes
Are all the mirror that you need.

I'm sorry, too.
What can I do?
I can speak of flowers, trees
Of birds and bees to come
But speaking's not believing
And I haven't seen a thing.

When is enough enough?
When you've lost all of your stuff?
When you've taken your soul
And given it away?
When you're dead
And can't be blamed
No more?

What you got that I ain't got?
You fucking, drunken too hot shot
You perverted pissant with no plan
But win.

I can't get no
I won't get no
Never gonna get
My spheres aligned
Never gonna get
My happy day

My calendar's too full.

I hate it all
I hate you all
I hate me all over

Who knew clay houses melt?

Perhaps I'm just too close to ground
Need to rise above the sound
Need to get up high
So I won't get so low
Beat the heat
And leave mankind behind

Up up and away from you.

Hello, my child.
Oh, of course, I know.
I'd be glad to listen.
Speak up, the wind carries your words
To places old ears won't hear
Ah. Yes. I see. Have seen. Will see again.
I absolve you.
Your sins are sins of man
And we above know why
And though we must decry
We can't help but forgive.

Two plus two is four
Do I need to tell you more?
Draw a graph, perhaps a chart?
(This kid sure ain't bright or smart)
Do you need some private help?
If so, just give a yelp
I'll come on down
And lend a better hand
From a better man
Than you.

But first you're right
And then you're wrong
And then you're on your way.

The higher you go
The further you fall
When you're finally pushed

Unreal estate
Is on my plate
I need a place to stay
Need a place to lay
My weary heart and soul

Give me wings
And I would fly
Be free of clay and sand
And glass and towers to the sky
Just leave the ground
And soar my life away

All I want's a place to stay!
A place to play
A place to pray
A place to call my own
A home that won't crumble in the wind
Won't melt or shatter
Will let you in
So you can live
Within my shelter too.
I want a home that's made of life
A home with living walls
That will not fade
But bend and mend if broken.
Will regrow
Will live anew
Each and every time.

But unfortunately it seems
That home's aren't made of dreams
My roof caving in
My walls falling down
My home leaving me

Homeless.
