Delusions in my mind

‘Woops-see! I don’t know
I don’t have ‘skillz’ and I don’t have flow
I’ve gone thirty two years and i’m still unknown
I swore to keep that secret and never let it show
Still I’ve grown
I’m older and wiser
I have ambitions in life to get much higher
To maybe start a family
Even get a wife
The sort of stuff I used to have around me
Yet that’s the tragedy of time
I used to spend most of mine trying to notice any signs
I’d listen to other people and think how relevant are their rhymes
I drew my own conclusions and what did I find?
I’m just another freak with delusions in my mind.

Open your eyes

There was fear
Before there was love
I’ve experienced all the others
Still, don’t ask about trust
As I open my eyes
I surely must try
I’ll finish here
Say goodbye
Then go home and cry

It’s just lies for lies
It’s our job to go pry
I want your names
Your numbers
All your reasons for why
Most live in disguise
No-one on the rise
There’s little or no sentiment
We need to open our eyes

Look, here are my reasons
The name’s Gretl Feeson
And today i’ll be speaking
About war and combat
Take Syria to start
They’re gassing civilians
Tearing families apart
Then what of Iraq
Isis attacks
These problems and acts
Make world powers react
Retract! Retract!
Those statements aren’t facts
Another loser piece of trash
I have no problems with that

Maybe

Maybe this is hell
Maybe this is heaven
Maybe it’s a glimpse inside
The souls we’ve all been given
Maybe it’s forbidden
Knowledge while we’re living
Maybe it’s a game we play
Maybe someone’s kidding

Pest

Are we alone to face up to lives test
A pest like the rest
All competing for best
I detest all this mess
So I make up the rest
The cheek to suggest
We stand up and protest

Under our skin

Lifes obscene
It always has been
For better or worse
Here we’re still standin’
There are many many others
Always flirting with sin
I’m really only here for the thrill of the win
So when you all come in
Place your tongues in the bin
I’m not even kiddin’ here’s a knife to begin
I’ll even get a phone ‘n’ get an ambulance ready
I always feel so nervous when I sound this unsteady
Already one grins
Blood drips from their chin
It’s obvious such problems
Haunt us under our skin

Sneer

Sneer
As they leer
At your chest
and your rear
We forget all my manners
As we drown in this beer!

Ashamed

How long do I walk
These hills getting steeper
My mind getting clearer
Delve deeper and deeper
My soul and my heart
You’ve picked them apart
Can’t find all the pieces
Ashamed
