Entitled​/​Untitled Collection

by Carl Philip Louis

1.
It's a ride this here life Tell me what's the worth of being wise It's no chore all the time I remember when you asked to see The love in my eyes And I only grow so tall because of you I only grow so tall because of you When we listen when we share There is no time as ease fills the air And from the deepest and darkest of depths We'll go riding well past the setting sun
2.
Taken from the mouth of the devil himself The cats are clawing eyes out No dogs wag their tail If I cried my pain out slowly I might have to halt my hare I held my hands out dearly For the devil held out his If a man lives in fear He becomes what he feared And wished he would never be If a lady lives in hope Her life is but a joke And not what it could or should have been The minds eye is thinning But that was by design The cupboards looking empty But the stoves is always on fire There's always some such twig To grab a hold onto Make sure it's a tough one Lest the devil get his due
3.
Music guards the dreaming mind Saves us from the worlds harsh side When I hear it's sunshine When I feel it's voice Melodies are memories alive Softly spoken words sky lit From plucked strings our worlds emit When I hear it's sunshine When I feel It's voice Melodies are memories alive
4.
You said make a dream make a wish I yawned in your face and said I dream for you to not know how i wish As I wish for you no want of wishes and dreams I've no care for a life played out in the shadow of some forever un-lived destination And no grandeur moves me so than the subtle sense of not wishing you away I want of little kudos It's but the cawing of banality I wash away like an offshore bank account Making slips of the hand an art, a pastime My craft is that the first is always the last time My past is but the chance to make a good line I Love You I Love You You've got to cry for me baby Cry for me You've got to cry for me baby cry I love you Oh yes i do

Freddie the flincher I feel for you After many long lonely days Too many are down Too many are down Too many are down here
7.
When will I find my way back home I know I'll find my way back home Didn't know you were lost Give you all I got Till it's gone Till it's gone Till it's gone
8.
A model when she cares A lover when she stares Is but a picture of her true hearts wants unlived The Mannequins prepared in the garb of the rich Is but the soup of the day to you and me The beauty sees the mirror for their self The wallet with no contents holds the wealth We see that it's fake We want it all the same Can you make me fake please too make me fake for you The tangled web has weaved a clock of his own And it's counting down the day to take you home The price that we pay is the choice that we make To sell ourselves for money and for lust Sell yourself till we all go bust

I've chimed the bullies bellbox I've chinned the purple gin I rode a welsh girls pony She wore a magic grin I've been tickled by the devil Tapped up by a saint But i never wear my medals Or we'd all dress the same The same, the same We all look the same Broke at the side of the road The rain, the rain Won't wash it away Broken at the bottom of a ditch The broken rabbit has rattled A borough it don't belong The dovecots getting strangled The therapy has gone For a ride on the pony I stole from the welsh girl She's no longer grinning Now the milk bottles turned
13.
As my bustling feet look busy I deep my mind into my pocket And my watch into my heels I scratch behind the etchings And itch beneath the sketched And stretch across a vast plinth Like the blimp glide with grace As i please do be on your way Forgive the wheeze spots and stains Don't make me quench the faze And behave my age And look your way when I talk I don't wanna see those eyes that don't shine I don't wanna see those eyes that don't shine I don't wanna see those eyes that don't shine I don't wanna see those eyes that don't shine I don't wanna see I don't wanna see I don't wanna see I don't wanna see

When will you see it true that you mean what you say one day i will catch you at your tricks oh why do you sit so still when there's everything to do everything to do One day you will tell me the truth, No regrets I've lived One day you'll think about the past So Happily, Happily Now, don't you worry your pretty little head Don't you think that those days wont come There, so near, i can taste them I can taste them Can't you smell them I can smell them to, oooo....
