Fight In The Wolf Daniel Reilly

Lyrics:

I got the mind
I’d left behind
It’s not in rhyme
But has the rhythm

I wandered blind
To learn insight
I’m not alright
But that’s a given

XXX

Spooky dreams
Haunt my rest
And glitch my programs

Through the tears
I’ve suppressed
I’d sink five oceans

Lucid screams
Not expressed
Dictate these vocals

Souvenirs
In my head
Inflate emotions

XXX

I got the mind
Hard blows designed
All rotten files
Need overwritten

I’m caught in tides
That slow my strides
Forgotten smiles
Leave holes within me

Time goes fast
But the emotions last
They seem a chore to master
Let them lead you
They’ll leave you hanging

Climb the mast
And steer us from the past
We’ve leaked from shore to harbour
Let the sea through
Then seal the damage

XXX

I’ve wished and bowed and prayed
Pity sounds delayed
Drink these sour grapes
Squished into lemonade

I’m wilting by the flame
I think myself insane
I sit mid deck in waves
Wishing for better sails
But

XXX

Time has crept
Here in its arms I’ve slept
I’m in the prime of death
Peering through curtains
At what I’ve spent

I climb the steps
Of sadness and regret
I paid each bill direct
Secrets and burdens
I pay by cheque

XXX

Time demands
Banned feelings bind both hands
They breed like spores in dampness
Wade in deep boots
To heal that sadness

Life seems harsh
Bad dreams rewind sore pasts
They squeal like moles in darkness
Bathe the deep wounds
To reach that madness

XXX

I’ve missed the brighter days
Things that life forbade
Imprisoned in the shade
Enclosed in anger’s cage

So
I’m clinging on in vain
Insisting life must change
I itch inside my brain
Which lotion calms this rage?

XXX

Time has crept
Hearing its chimes I’ve wept
I’m in the prime of death
Nearing destruction
Behind on rent

I climb the steps
To pay my last respects
I have defined myself
Repeating functions
My mind has learnt

XXX

Cradle my head just right
Make shapes by the bedroom light
Be patient and well tonight
Take care that my health’s alright

Tuck in my teddy tight
And dust where the bed bugs bite
Please say one last precious rhyme
And waken me when its time

XXX

Sketch lines I’ll fill with joy
Tell me I’m your little boy
Protect me from hurtful words
And shelter me from the world

Soothe me til I’m at ease
Good roots build the highest trees
With you here I’ll never fear
We’ll shoot beasts with silver beads

XXX

Mend this gown with broken scissors
Upend my frown with smoke and mirrors
I tend the mound where hope still withers
I fed the hound my only slivers

By roots I’m bound in earth malicious
The wolf now growls at any issues
He chews on doubt, finds stress delicious
And looks around with tense suspicions

XXX

Place gratitude in my hand
And my heart will understand
We’ll pray for that second chance
Create a new circumstance

We’ll paper the cracks and scuffs
And tape up the damaged stuff
We’ll shake out the tarnished rugs
Replace all the shattered bulbs

XXX

Send the clown back when I falter
And let me down with threads I altered
I pencilled out what pen had ordered
So when I drown drop cents in water

My heart stopped cold to kill what’s rotten
I glanced below at things forgotten
A cache of gold that sinks to bottom
My hands let go and swim the torrent

XXX

Lyrics:

I am the seed that struggled
Sewn by the trees I smothered
So shy with weeds for brothers
CO high as breathing suffered

I have belief things might change
Harsh winds will reveal my place
Past things did not seal my fate
Reengineer this nightmare

XXX

Prick the ground for life’s endurance
Every cloud holds vital fluid
Sinking down I’ve primed my roots
I didn’t sprout but time grew shoots whoa!

In the mud I’ve gleaned a truth
Belief in something out of view
Guess feeling hurt caused something new
When thunder stops I’ll fucking bloom so

XXX

Soldier on
I will see the dawn
I’ve been trampled on
I’m still bleeding, cut up on the thorns

Soldier on
Everything was wrong
All my hope was gone
But it feeds me, the hunger is strong

XXX

I am the seed that surfaced
Patiently seeking purpose
Fated to be malnourished
Hating my peers who flourished

Slow tide, cold breeze above me
Low flying bees just stung me
No mind should feel unworthy
Coax my beliefs to love me

XXX

Crown the gaffes and frame the madness
Doubt will pass, just bear the sadness
Every lapse brings wisdom’s chances
Ditch the past’s grim circumstances

Train the mind to dodge the bullets
Cross the mines and wander through it
Take the time to start a new you
Stop the vices that consume you

XXX

Soldier on
I will see the dawn
I may hit the wall
I’m resilient, so I will respawn

Soldier on
Everything was wrong
I’ve been shit upon
Hasn’t killed me, and that’s why I’m strong

XXX

Save me from all that ails me
I’m always failing
My tangled blooms need a paring

Lately my mind is racing
I’m sideways facing
This parachute needs replacing

XXX

Why aren’t my options open?
Why is my conscience crowing?
I’ve docked, the water’s frozen
I’m not alarmed I’m irate

All the best words are spoken
All of these rungs seem broken
I’m swapping fun for boredom
Caught in a harsh mental state

XXX

Talk to me
Or take a shot at me
Just like a lottery
My life’s a crazy cacophony

Pray for me
Or stay away from me
Just dig a grave for me
And I will lay here with all my dreams

XXX

Wake me
When life’s less crazy
When light leads day here
When heavy moods don’t impair me

Fate seems
To fucking hate me
Give me a break, dear
I pressed reboot while still saving

XXX

Why are my spikes ferocious?
My grasp at life’s atrocious
Space blank for diagnosis
I’m not insane but I’m close

Why isn’t silence golden?
Sipped hell now I am choking
Tripped, fell, now lie here broken
I got the pain that I chose

XXX

Caution me
Do what you want with me
Break the monotony
My life’s a crazy cacophony

Pray for me
Or stay away from me
Just dig a grave for me
And I will lay here with all my dreams

XXX

I’m not ok
My palette’s black, white and grey
Sadness fills up my day
Chances spit in my face
Sadly

I know despair
Madness sits second chair
I grapple with fear and shame
Got the wrong DNA
Badly

XXX

I wander in mist
And I punch walls with my fist
I’ve drunk poison for my thirst
Empty space fills my lungs daily

I keep logs and long lists
Of my deep flaws and wrong twists
It just feels wrong to exist
I behave how the world made me

XXX

Pour me
A magic potion
Apply some lotion
Soothe the pain I suffer

Throw me
To the ocean
Calm my emotion
Put my brain together

XXX

I am enslaved
I carry more than I weigh
I’m startled and feeling scared
Habits call out my name
Loudly

I’m firing flares
I think my mind needs first aid
A three month line for the pain
Ease the anger I wear
Proudly

XXX

I’m not quite convinced
Got a fine frog from a prince
Tend to jog more than I sprint
Out of breath still I get nowhere

I’m awkward at things
And I can’t stop catching sins
I just bob up then I sink
In my head I’m distressed mostly

XXX

Pour me
A magic potion
Apply some lotion
Soothe the pain I suffer

Throw me
To the ocean
Calm my emotion
Put my brain together
