Quantum-Poet

I am etherized by your septic stare Anaesthetized by your vapid glare Straddled against your bedroom chair With nothing but your contamination to wear I am dressed in my naked anatomy But you say nothing at all to flatter me It's amazing how you can just shatter me Your mouth like a sterile laboratory Bubbling in the pot of your perception Immersed in the sorcery of your deception Pinned down by a magical connection That is really just trickery, upon reflection Goodbye My Chemical Romance I wish to give my love a soulful chance ©2010 Sarah Donnelly

Corporations amassing wealth, can't get insurance for your health Do elected politicians do our bidding, c'mon man, who are you kidding? The recession that never seems to end, nothing at all is on the mend Borrowing more than you lend, Africa has nothing left to spend Do you really have nothing to suggest? Cos this is not a love song, it's a Protest The smack-heads on the streets are dying, the crime rate is defying The president has another lie in, it's a drive-by and not a drive-in HIV/ Aids is still soaring, while acid rain is still pouring Switch off the news it's boring, it's just the World that you're ignoring I'm singing this so t

Darren arrives with Judith on arm The black eye she is hiding Is just part of his charm Mary has been there since long before six And eaten so much cake She's making herself sick Paula is jealous of Michael, her ex Who is flirting with Gina And has a hard on for sex David's in the bathroom snorting coke These people make him nervous They don't know he fancies blokes Frances is looking around to see Why everyone's pissed on vodka And there's no bloody tea

As a child of Obedience I hung on your every word Trying to learn The rich colours of World So I spoke the lines, you fed me I towed the line, you led me As an teen of Curiosity I wondered if you were right But usually kept my mouth shut To avoid a fettered fight I questioned the lines, you fed me I tugged on the line, you led me As a young adult of Rebellion I walked an angry path I scoffed at your generation I cut you down by half I snorted the lines, you fed me I kicked the line, you led me As a women of Wisdom I try to see both sides I've learned the colours of the World I carry myself with pride I choose the lines,

You play the music of the street To scurrying legs and passing feet They throw money in your jar From New Orleans to Wichita You have no place to call your own But you have never really been alone From city bars to camping grounds You just keep travelling round and round In winter times you chase the suns To find the friends that you knew once From the South of France to the Spanish Steps You have no maps of what'll be next You used to dream you'd make it big And have your own successful gig But twenty years have passed you by And you can no longer live that lie The wrinkles of life upon your face You can no longer keep the p

You fell from the double sided moon A two-faced Gemini from June You dripped into me like a trickle of doubt Till every inch of me was streaming out I tried to pull myself together Tried to ride your tempestuous weather And rooted to this brittle land I reached for your long-fingered hand You spun me with alacrity And then you tossed me out to sea Your laughing eyes looking back at me Brimming with a hideous gaiety And for every storm after every calm Yet another echoing bell of alarm Still I stayed bewitched by your charm My blood running thick with your harm For a thousand long years I waited My breath held taut and heavy

I played a game of Hold 'Em But I folded in your hands I played the devil's advocate I played in your rock band I played with fire, I played the fool I played with you, but broke the rule I hope you can understand You were my rock of ages You said I rocked your world But when I rocked the boat It wasn't rock 'n roll  no more So you built a giant moat And left me here on dry land Stuck between a rock and a hard place And you hoped I'd understand I rolled the dice, I rolled with the punches I rolled a joint and listened to my hunches You broke your promises, you broke my heart Was it you who played me from the start?

So I just want to know Before I go Where you keep your dreams And those far-flung schemes Do your secrets lie thick What makes you tick Are they tucked in a shoebox What makes you tock Do you think you would shock With your closeted woes And your ravished shadows Or is it all just a lie Just me wondering why Cos if it's all on the surface Then this song is superfluace Say goodbye ©2010 Sarah Donnelly

When you enter a room the heads turn to stare At your perfect posture and wild drunken hair Your tight fitting jeans on your hot derrière And you know that they're looking, you're fully aware Words that fall from your mouth make me insecure You design it as such, I'm becoming quite sure You want to test just how much shit I'll endure Whilst batting your eyeslids, so lovely and pure You think you'll impress with your social clout As you strut and swagger and swoon about Drawing attention to the beauty you flout And when you're ignored you are all put out And you say that you've got everything going And that your talents are s
