Change from Babysteps by Big Lumpy

Prayer beads
Birds of prey
Words of war and peace

Ironies
Socrates
The question at his knees

Falling trees
Rising seas
Mania meets abandon

Through aimless means
Icarus wings
An eagle comes crashing

Sowing seeds of discontinued dreams
That’s the game
Giving just enough for you to get a taste

—

A starry-eyed pantomime
Dedicated performer
Suit and tie, get in line
Contemplate like the others

Against the grain
Too ashamed to own his own existence
Different shades, tidal waves
Wash over with persistence

Anchor me in this dream
In the here and now
When it all ends
The world won’t make a sound

—

The cosmos do conspire
So keep your matter next to mine
Our minds they are our fires
We are the stars who make the signs
And all the symbol’s all but simple things
What burns behind your eyes
A burden beyond birds who sing
Songs to make you cry
