Extinct Family
Written by Gerry Beckley and Phil Galdston, ©1998
Found on Human Nature.
There was a time I knew
All that there was to know
No one could tell me then
I was wrong
I wasn't strong enough
To see where my weakness lay
The world that you hold so tight
Could slip away
And from moment to moment
Your life can change
There's a storm over the horizon
A sea no one can see
Somewhere around the bend
Right when you least expect
Someone can walk away
With no regret
Leaving an empty space
Breaking a sacred trus

Confide in Me
Don't blame me
just because I am bored,
I'm needy,
I need to taste it all,
don't down me
just because I am quiet,
I'm thinking, thinking about it all,
I'm helpless about the way of me,
and I'm thinking,
thinking about it all,
I'm sorting everything inside
I'm looking in the space,
this time this void,
I'm making my way through
the muddy minutes,
the pull is in my muscle,
the ache is in my bones,
it's hard to be alone
Breathe,
Breathe,
it won't be long now,
breathe.
See through me
when I put up a fight,
I'd like you to see
the things I hide,
go deeper then I will let you know,
I'm frightened
but I won't let it show
I'm helpless about the way of me,
and I'm thinking,
thinking about it all,
I'm sorting everything inside
Breathe,
Breathe,
it won't be long now, breathe.
