Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I cant let you slide through my hands
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn’t drag me away
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don’t have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Lets do some living after we die
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses, well ride them some day

" Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide"
And I felt my spirit break
I had lost all of my, belief you see
And realized my mistake
But time through a prayer, to me
And all around me became still"
With lessons I've learned."

I wish that we could still be friends
Into the shadows of my life you brought the light.
You make my raggedness silky.
But broken hearts should mend.
So I sit and hold the pieces.
Waiting for them to be put back together again.
“You don't like my 'restless' doctrines – I should be very sorry if you did – but I can't stagnate nevertheless – if I must sail let it be on the ocean no matter how stormy - anything but a dull cruise on a level lake without ever losing sight of the same insipid shores by which it is surrounded. -” -lord byron.
Sin-eater.
Old, poor people called sin-eaters were hired at funerals in ancient times to eat beside the corpse and thus take on all the sins of the dead person, who was then thought to be freed from purgatory. Usually, all they got for taking on these often myriad sins was a small coin, a crust of bread, and a bowl of ale – small payment, though a living, for what amounted to a pawned soul.
It's years since you've been there, and I miss you.....like the deserts miss the rain.
How am I without you, more myself or less myself.
...this optical theater provides us with
a great measure of illusion; hypnotic images,
memorized by drones, in a restless half-slumber...
...perturbed and constant motion,
coupled with a brooding awareness
of this body's impermanence..
