music sooths the savage love

I was productive last night. I wrote two new songs. Here are the lyrics sans music, aka, bad poetry.

Everybody

Everybody�s got something to show.

Everybody�s got something to hide.

Everybody�s got something they don�t want to talk about.

Everybody needs somewhere to go.

Everybody needs somewhere to hide.

Everybody needs somewhere that nobody knows about.

Everybody�s got something to buy.

Everybody�s got something to sell.

Everybody�s got something they can�t live without.

Everybody�s got something to take.

Everybody�s got something to give.

Everybody�s got something that nobody counts.

Everybody needs someone to love.

Everybody needs someone to hate.

Every body needs someone to make them shout.

Everybody�s got someone they hurt.

Everybody�s got someone they heal.

Everybody�s got someone they trust beyond doubt.

Everybody needs someone to lead.

Everybody needs someone to follow.

Everybody needs to go down their own route.

Everybody needs somewhere to live.

Everybody needs somewhere to die.

But nobody knows what this song is about.

It�s about time.

*********************************

Hothouse

Look at this face

All tattered and worn.

Each wrinkle a story.

Of duties foresworn.

Look at these hands.

All worked to the bone.

Each blister a story.

Of our family�s home.

Look at this garden.

All planted in rows.

Each sapling a promise.

That I wouldn�t go.

Look at this tree.

Watch it reach for the sky.

Each branch a new story,

How our love slowly died.

Look at this house.

All broken and sad.

Each room holds a story,

Of our life gone bad.
