Random Songs and Poems I have written

Banana-Rama

SHINING
there is a city light shining
brightly down on me tonight
i sit down beneath it
while my tasks are aligning
my mind is deciding

it keeps me going
i stay awake late at night
i enjoy working in these buildings
it is in my blood flowing
this business is lonely

staring out there at the concrete
it is pale blue and grey
this takes all my heart and soul
it takes from those who know me
in many degrees

the decision is in left field
strangely enough the field is mine
never mind what i think of it
the trade gods have everything sealed
my future is concealed



THOUGHTS OF THE WORLD

F** you – f** them
Long lived irresponsibility
Dare you tell me
How to live my life

Know you – Know them
I am my own responsibility
Why do you push me
For some stupid reason

Respond with responsibility

Hurt them – hurt me
You should know by now
I can’t see how
That you don’t know

Work long – Work Hard
For little or no pay
Who knew I live to see this day
Go preach to someone else

Killing me professionally

Look left – look right
Please go back home
I don’t want you
I just want to work alone

Deny this - deny that
everybody is so fake
Understand your mind
Everything is yours to take




SOMETHING SIMPLE
you’re in an empty building, working all alone
Thinking about your friends & family, you’ve left behind at home

You shake everything off and pretend to be OK
You’ve got another show to plan, just like any other day

When you work 20 hour days, sometimes 7 days a week
The office becomes your home, co-workers become family

After setting things up, making sure things are right
You sit there discussing with the crew, your show tonight

The crowd is now arriving an hour before the show
You put on your game face, get everyone ready to go

now it all comes down to this, you’ve known right from the start
Many hours were put into this, & it all comes from the heart

It’s your job to motivate all those on scene
Quite often all your hard work goes unseen

Everything is over, another day is done
Tomorrow you’ll be right back to where you begun

The show is all over, it’s time to pack it up
Your emotions are running wild, you want to erupt

You are ecstatic that things seemed to go well
Little do they know putting things together was a living hell

And the only thing that stops your from breaking down
Is you know you’ll see everybody next time ‘round

You’re all packed up and ready to roll
Grab your bags & jacket and head out into the cold

Just as you are leaving out that frigid place
Somebody stops you because they have something to say

They tell you what a good time they had
You made them forget all the problems that they have

Even though you’re tired, with what you went through
It all seems like it’s worth it, when people complement you




MURDER LAWYER SUICIDE
Bored out of my mind. Tormenting mime
Gave up everything over time.
Cancer, self-inflicted head wounds
I think I’ll be leaving this behind real soon

Murder, Lawyer, runway or suicide,
Thoughts of families’ own genocide
Never, ever, never again will I lie
It makes no sense anymore
A person can only take so much
Before they hit the door

Hey now, Here we go. all my troubles go to show
What would have happened, I don’t really know
Scary basement, failing romance. You get my solace
Now I am over it...




HE - SHE - THEY - I

She sits outside in stormy weather
She moved onto the good part of the story
She doesn’t let them get to her
She said....
She said.... loudly
From her end

he seems to care for the right reasons
He knows that they’ll be there for him
He loves all the cold seasons
He Said....
He said...He is
Better off dead

They enjoy the company of others
They stay up late together
They’ve both been disowned by their mothers
They said....
They said...Forget
We are friends

I might be an overachiever
I am one with nature
I think like a true believer
I said....
I said...I will
Not bend
