Stones and Sticks

Stones and sticks
can’t fix
broken bones
but bricks
and mortar
well they oughtta soothe
frayed nerves
but now this home
once my centre
has got me on edge
but if you were to walk through the door
just once more
I’d find a way so you could stay
and I would be the one who leaves
on this family tree
that’s the way it was supposed to be

Static

A change is in the air
you feel it and become aware
of the soft hairs on your arms
they’re standing on end

nothing can stay the same
can’t go back to where we came
it's a constant state of flux
change, gains and loss

time cannot stand still
you just have to wait until
you know it’s on your side
then make your move

learning to tell the difference
between static and interference
is the hardest lesson
I still have yet to learn
