Incoherent Musings

Face To Face
~
It just wasn’t in any of the cards for us to walk an easy road
So it isn’t in us to acknowledge we’re setting easy goals
We already know things don’t work in our favor just because
Gave our hearts for the entrances and exiting of those we love
Somehow we barely hung in there when our [...]

Attentive Steps
~
We had to audacity to stand up for ourselves time after time
Took it to extremes from being at the scenes of unreported crimes
Force fed our lives but eventually got an appetite for it all
Gone through making the most out of trouble both big and small
Answered our calls when told we were about to go [...]

A Warrior’s Duty
~
We made the grade but not from the same lessons as everyone else
We’re the few and the proud who survived and won’t forget who helped
Our feet are firmly on the ground, bound to our own words and actions
Seeking better guarantees in life instead of death and taxes
Wanting to leave an everlasting legacy passed [...]

Gravesite Confessions

Then she sings and the drum she holds is one she made
Took the [...]

Unlocked Doors
~
Will we ever start in with our best intentions and follow through
Where straight forward is the path of the words we all choose
Will we finally regroup to renew friendships from back then
Leave our pride to the side and let our true selves stand in
So imagine if the steps down the wrong path finally stopped
Our [...]

Code Of Silence
~
They don’t play by the rules but always say they do
Come up on us and talk to us like we don’t have a clue
This is one way of paying dues by refusing to cooperate
Then they come with deals and promises for a name and face
If that don’t work they claim to add more [...]
