Broken Halo

Somebody told me that nothing is simple
Complications blocking the path on the way
A difference of opinion is expected as normal
But don’t make a sound as there’s nothing to say

I’m standing here looking at your broken halo
Wondering which moment that it fell to the ground
Looking for an answer to find out the question
Even though the question has already been found

The pictures that capture the moments that happened
Serve to remind us of the moments that passed
Looking through glasses that focus the mind
But the vision that greets us is fading so fast

I’m standing here looking at your broken halo
Wondering which moment that it fell to the ground
Looking for an answer to find out the question
Even though the question has already been found

Travel the road that leads us to nowhere
Taking the chance that nobody cares
Add something more than the simple extreme
Smile on your face and try not to look scared

I’m standing here looking at your broken halo
Wondering which moment that it fell to the ground
Looking for an answer to find out the question
Even though the question has already been found

Losing Your Mind

You look at your reflection time after time
You wonder if you are losing your mind
The smiles disappeared and the laughter has stopped
The tired eyes showing how far that you've dropped
You wonder what happened where did it go wrong
You can't even remember its just been too long
The state that you're in is an endless affair
You look in the mirror and just blankly stare
You once had a heart and everything flew
Those are the times that you want to renew
But the paths overgrown and the weeds choke your dreams
There is no escape or so it would seem
Is this the life that you're destined for
To wear that fake smile when you walk out the door
The time it will come when everything fails
And who'll pick you up when you come off those rails
The drink that once helped is now losing its touch
It was your escape now its becoming your crutch
What is the answer where on earth does it end
Maybe it doesn't, you'll just continue to descend

Insomnia

The hardest part is the night

The demons will come and look for a fight

They battle my soul for control of my brain

Looking for energy that they can drain

Thoughts shoot like bullets inside my head

Whilst looking for sleep, I'm thinking instead

Looking for answers to questions unasked

Visions of mistakes that have littered my past

Daytime relief is a long way away

But that is the time when I also will pay

Tired and exhausted from each nights melee

Finding it hard just to get through the day

I look for escape but it never arrives

Each nights events are no longer a surprise

Searching for sleep, now let battle commence

Here in my bed, I will start my defence

The Question

When you wake  in the morning and open your eyes

Look in the mirror put on your disguise

What do you think of, whats there in your head

Do you ask yourself questions that have never been said

Do you ever think, What am I doing here?

Do you look into the papers and read about the fear

Do you analyse yourself, to see what drives you on

Do you look back on your life and wonder where its gone

Do you look at those around and everything thats dear

Do you ever ask the question, what am I doing here?

Spending everyday at work to pay the bills

Do you feel your missing out on life and all its thrills

An office full of faces, all looking for a way out

We all will spend a little on the lottery no doubt

Do you ever think, What am I doing here?

Do you look into the papers and read about the fear

Do you analyse yourself, to see what drives you on

Do you look back on your life and wonder where its gone

Do you look at those around and everything thats dear

Do you ever ask the question, what am I doing here?

Do you turn off all the news to hide all the bad news

A murder. rape or killing, and lots of peoples views

What lurks beneath the surface of every place you go

The simple answer is that no one really knows

Do you ever think, What am I doing here?

Do you look into the papers and read about the fear

Do you analyse yourself, to see what drives you on

Do you look back on your life and wonder where its gone

Do you look at those around and everything thats dear

Do you ever ask the question, what am I doing here?

White Christmas

I wake Christmas morning and look all around, Everywhere white with the snow on the ground

A white Christmas happened just like they all wished, But it seems heavy and looks like a drift

Some people attempt to go out down their drives, but the way they are sinking they are risking their lives

Who would have thought it would ever get so deep, all over night whilst most of us were asleep

Well now we must think about what we will do, It looks like a problem no one can get through

The Christmas plans ruined as here we sit, thinking of relatives we were meant to visit

It all looked so good last night before bed, Dreams of Christmas Dinner had filled all our heads

But now we are left with just basics in house, some bread and some cheese I may as well be a mouse

I hope you are happy all that dreamed of this day, A perfect White Christmas as songs used to say

But families all split, kept apart by the snow, Isn't the way you all thought it would go

So next time you wish can you all at least say, I'd rather see family than Snow on Christmas Day 

Winter

This Christmas when you look around, you see the sights and hear the sounds

The flashing lights that spark and glow, The homeless people lay below

The decorations in the shops, Entice us in and make us stop

We spend our cash and more besides, Just because we can’t decide

This for her and that for him, And one for me thats not a sin

The cold will bite as darkness falls, And we all leave the busy malls

Others drink and get merry, On alcohol and juice of berry

But some will sleep where we once walked, Whilst others they just pop more corks

The different worlds, stretch far apart, The roaring fire will warm our hearts

The roads will freeze and ice will form, the question is are we all really warm?

The answer lies out on the streets, under blankets, lay on seats

So whilst we celebrate with joy, The coming of a baby boy

Spare a thought for those who cannot, the ones that we have all forgot

You’ll see them everyday around, But most of them don’t make a sound

They sit and watch the world go by, The sit alone and wonder why

We maybe happy, we maybe sad, but I don’t really think we have it too bad

My Guide

These hard times are when I look to you more
I don’t know how much, of this that I can endure
You are my rock, my stability aid
You keep me safe when I am afraid

You are my guide my understanding
You give me sense when I’m insane
I feel I’m being too demanding
But you’re my shelter from the rain

You stand beside me providing support
You always teach me, what I’ve never been taught
To live without you I could never do
But I know that you’re always there for me too

You are my guide my understanding
You give me sense when I’m insane
I feel I’m being too demanding
But you’re my shelter from the rain

You’re always stronger, than I’ve ever been
You’re eyes have seen more, than I could have seen
But you will always, be more than a friend
And you’ll be with me till the bitterest end

You are my guide my understanding
You give me sense when I’m insane
I feel I’m being too demanding
But you’re my shelter from the rain
