Mycelium Days

All my dreams have gone to lore
Got my feet back on the floor
You may ask what all the chlorine’s for
To wash away the grimy truth
Left behind by storming youth
Felt so smart, but right now, who’s the sleuth?
If I’m not falling into fame
I’d only have myself to blame
Yet in the end it’s all the same
All the pain – all in vain
Say the words I long to hear
Tell me I’m the one to cheer
Praise me now before the end is near
Our time is limited for sure
I have the book here in my drawer
Who’s on a pedestal and who’s a whore?
If I should I fall from God with grace
Will I land flat upon my face?
And will there even be a trace?
That I was here in this place...
I’m out of my hopes I’m out of my dreams
I wanna get even, but... her island screams
I wanna fly high, oh so high.
All is all over now – all we tried – all we tried
I’m so done with you – I’m so done with you.
I’m so done with you, I could cry
You run away – and run away
I run away – we run away
‘Cause I’m so done with you – I’m so done with you
I’m so done with you, I could die
You run away – and run away
I run away – we run away
Right on time – a lonesome chime
I’m on my way – my child – I’m on my way – my child
No more lies – I broke all ties
It’s my way – I hide – all I say – my pride
On the mountain high
Beneath a clear blue sky
I found a place where we could look awry
And in my heart I felt
That things on which I dwelt
Were nothing more than pride – and eye for eye
In breach of my strife
I hold the door
To the fight
And I hear – the wind is calling
With dynamite
All with the urge to be fair and right – who knows?
I might...

What if...

And I’m always on my own
I reap the seeds that I have sown
I find my way and that’s alone
There’ll be no heiress to the throne
But in my world I did belong
My belief was very strong
That a mortal soul is just plain wrong
And I’ve had that feeling all along
All religions say it’s true
They’ll exclaim it right on cue
That our view is so askew
We’d change our ways if we only knew
But what if – there’s nothing, but the cold ground – no more games
If all roads – lead nowhere – then why am I – towing these reins
And as I walking here with you
I’m all but failing to construe
Is there a part that will renew?
Or will just emptiness ensue
Or will just emptiness ensue
But what if – there’s nothing, but the cold ground – no more games
If all roads – lead nowhere – then why am I – towing these reins

Sometimes we hide from the truth
Then we settle our scores and pine for the youth of our days
In so many ways
I know you came from dispraise
And you fought all your battles with graze and malaise – so damn strong
You hammered along – how could it be wrong – you’ve been at it so long
But can you feel me going down?
I need a gleam – warm from the sun
I’m falling deep down and around
A bitter waste now – is coming undone
Scattered rays of dreams that incite
Meet the endless streams and beams of delight – all night through
It’s not my life – but’ll just have to do
I guess I’ll say what I always say:
This thing will kill me before I’ll have my day – am I wrong?
In the meantime – we all play along
How could it be wrong – we’ve been at it so long
I must behave – to get it right
I must be brave – and grow into my height
I must not cave – at the slightest fight
How’s that for insight?

Step Up

Alone so cold
And God how old
It is time to fold
But somehow I’m feeling so bold
Come near the plate (step up step up)
Inhale the bait
Now, the oh so laborious wait
Going to wake up my fate
But I’m worn to the bone
So torn and alone
I wanna be free – all the time
Gotta head to the sea – ‘cause I fear it’s my time that’s come
Make no mistake
I had the whole damn cake
But in my own sad, but glorious wake
There was just no time to break...
It should be all about me – all the time
What the hell is this ‘we’? I’m confined – and you’re blind
You see whenever you’re near, I’m so bare – that I disappear
It’s like I have a hole inside – that can’t be eyed – opening wide

On a ground so frail – I’m chasing my own tail – the pain will prevail
It’s time to set sail – me I won’t fail – an endless betrayal
I called for you – but your eyes went right through – my boneless hail
Wangari-mastaperi ada Ustaneri Mehai – Mehai
Wangari-mastaperi ada Ustaneri Mehai – Mehai
Where were you when I was alone?
Where were you when I was alone?
It’s all a front – a whitewashed clever stunt – a hapless herring hunt – and it’s time to be blunt. The material world – grimy, blotched and knurled – into the den we were hurled. When we leave – the con will unweave – so bold we can’t conceive

And even though my eyes were closed
To all the things that would matter most
I’d still do it again in a beat
I just could not withstand all the heat
The floodgates should have been open wide
I had high hopes you’d be on my side
Did not want us to spend time apart
Such a malignant thing in my heart
