Can't

 Don't sleep, won't sleep, 

why sleep. 

By now you know your in to deep, 

no use in counting sheep. 

Not many options and choices ae limited, 

Your better days buried like treasure 

Well hid. 

So Clock watching 

And tossing and turning

Is what fills your time 

Waiting for the morning. 

Can't even relax. 

Sure such is life....

Everything for half price

 Nothing less then everything,

Got to fill this hole in the soul.

And wait, there's more.

The darkness of the void,

Two left feet, paired with two right hands.

I could be your right hand man.

I could be.

But sadly at this moment,

I'm feeling a little less then me.

And the dance floor is a memory. 

Spilled drink

 Shy and tired

The dog needs walked.

Long summer days

And the hope it's the last

Of the winters dark.

The birds get bold and loud,

Drinks better chilled.

The battlefield of a dance floor

A distant memory of late night thrills.

Cause I'm a

Last of the beer,

Gear. 

I welcome the fear. 

My nose sore. 

Cause I'm a 

Proud

 Is it okay to cry now?

Sore nose and alone now. 

The blinds are open but no one will care

Now.

One more, 

Just to ease me. 

Should take the dog to bed

So he can sleep more easy. 

But one more, 

Just to make the tears 

Worth while. 

One more just to make my dad proud. 

One more.

 When your one mores are all empty.

The bag is licked and everything is done. 

The dog is fuking raging, 

He wanted to go to bed. 

But you just wanted to feel 

Like life was worth it. 

A reason to keep keeping on 

No one answering back. 

And your nose is sore. 

Still in your mind, 

You can't help think 

One more. 

Life oh life

 They stole the laugher from our kids

The milk from their lips. 

Taxed their joy. 

Before they turned the poor on the poor, 

And got them both together to hate

Those that are even more poor. 

And taxed them some more. 

Stole people's imaginations, 

With movies filled with lies. 

TV and media saying 

You are ugly, fat and unliked.

But they always got a solution. 

And it comes with a price. 

The latest product 

That will make you 

Fit in and be someone everyone will like. 

Dreams sold at a high price. 

Happiness that is just out of reach. 

So fill the void with sugar, 

Or something else 

That makes it bearable to live.
