Disease

Running in a marathon
Feel i'm falling behind the pack
Won't do this again
I've hit the wall feeling rusted
I can't go on
All I think of is you

I know the answer is not inside
So to my neighbour I plead
Can you help me go on?
Leper what is my disease
I'm afraid its all green
We ignore all the rusted ones
Seeking the diamonds instead

This is practice he saids
Playing for keeps yeah
Double or nothing
He saids karma is where its at
Just obey the golden rule
But i'm left wondering right or wrong
Or just differing shades of grey?

I pass another seeker on the road
He's living in fear
Throw your seed on the rocky path
Give all that you have
And then will those spirits leave you alone

So can't I just pick and choose?
After all aren't they all the same?
Son of David what makes you the key?

Doctor i'm afraid i'm unclean
Sorry there is nothing I can do
Oh Doc your the only one
That can see
Underneath this rose
I'm slowy sinking down my dirty hole

He saids there may be one way
But many toils and snares upon the way
He casts lots
But somehow I knew
That he realised the dice would fall his way

He tests the waters
Sends out his yellow canary
But that fool don't return

The flesh defiled
These clothes I must burn
Can't live for others
But I can't do this alone

So I go upon my way
Wondering who loves a messenger of death
The crowd cries out
"Off with his head"
But i console myself with the thought
Rather this dry morsel then a feast defiled

    Do you write alot? I don't think that I have ever been in this forum. Have I? I don't remember. I didn't know that you were a poet! :)
    I used to write alot. Haven't written anything in quite awhile.

  • Glad you like it I write quite a lot do one every week or so. Its a good release but i've only recently taken it up. I wanted to do Journalism but wasen't to be so its just for fun. Actually talked about starting a band, I would write lyrics and perhaps play drums, we've got a DJ anyone know a good guitarist and singer in the Melbourne area?

  • What's not practice?

    You want to start a band? That's cool. Why the hell do you need a DJ? Just wondering.

  • we don't need a DJ and to be truthful its not really my form of music but this guy can do some preddy cool stuff although he is in to hardcore trance and the like. I guess it would add something different so long as you don't end up sounding like Linkin Park version 2.0! Maybe we could make dance music with a bit of substance....naaaaa

    I was just correcting one of the lines it should read This is not practice instead of this is practice!

    finding someone who can really sing is not the easiest thing, wish i could play guitar will have to teach myself.

  • A dance band with substance? LOL

    You should start a punk or a hardcore band. If you can find a screamer a hardcore band. That would be so cool! I would be you number one fan! LOL
    Though I guess since you don't like that type of music......rats!

  • hehe a punk band? let me think about the one for a minute? okay done that no! LOL

    I don't mind playing some Living End or Green Day those bands are good but i'm not really into The Clash and the like. I invisage playing more straight up rock and dipping into metal on occassions and we've got the turntablist so we would sound somewhat different. Back to the punk thing it would be a good idea to play something like "Good Riddance" starting off unless we can find an advanced guitarist!
