Lacking Resolution 02:55

Lacking Resolution by clash bowley Copyright 2022 I burned with heat Fired with revolution Burned complete Yearned for absolution But fire failed When measured against you Truth unveiled Lit in the coolest hue I trembled soft When faced with that solution Scented your waft Lost in convolution Reason failed When measured against you Truth unveiled Fresh as morning dew I fell apart Could find no restitution I lost my heart Lacking resolution Longing failed When measured against you Truth unveiled Must be always true

The Airship 03:00

The Airship by clash bowley copyright 2022 There was an airship Overhead Smoke from the boiler Lit underneath with red From the fires Underneath Up through the smokestack flared on top like teeth The captain stared out Over the land The sandy seacoast Shading her eyes with her hand Far below her Crashed the waves Upon the rocks and Far up in the caves The wood propeller Turning round Made a repeating Whooshing, swishing sound Push the air back From ahead in a twisting vortex Astern it spread The mountain readed up On the bow Growing closer Faster beneath the prow The captain ordered Ballast dropped And water poured down in a rain it slopped

Retrochronation 02:43

Retrochronation by clash bowley Copyright 2022 If I could trade a moment Oh just a second or two To be in your presence Ah to feel the warmth of you If time would be my captive If time would be my slave I would trade all the future To get the past I crave I would drain the sea dry Oh every single drop Sell every continent off If just the past would stop If I could peel the clock back Make it all whole again I'd hand creation over Just to break that chain If I could peel the clock back Make it all whole again I'd hand creation over Just to break the chain

The Window 02:58

The Window by clash bowley Copyright 2022 Just a trick of the phrasing Just a slip of the tongue A picture of the way we were When you and I were young We had our troubles Angry words were slung Like swarms of vicious bees And we both were stung It all seemed so casual Innocent at first But balance soon was lost As if our tongues were cursed We slipped into a pattern In which we were well versed Turned our backs on each other At bitterness we nursed There is a window Open just now and then A window we can slip through So should we try again?

A Series 02:59

A Series by clash bowley Copyright 2022 I watched the cops beat my Big brother dead They didn't know I watched them Kick him 'til his insides bled They didn't know that he was So very fragile you see Just an innocent mistake With a killer glee My father lost his battle With demons from his past He once was a soldier Dedicated and steadfast But his eyes saw too much And he drank to drown the ghosts Both friends and foe Dead in teeming hosts My mother was so gentle Gentle like a lamb She loved all God's children She always gave a damn But a hit and run at great speed Threw her body twenty feet Under a passing truck Her always so trim and neat

Chosen 02:45

Chosen by clash bowley Copyright 2022 I hear the forest ring Sound through the valleys low Call of the wild things Echoes from the crows It bounces from the cliff Silenced in the snows, Ancestral hieroglyph And it is me they chose And it is me they chose The people of the past The spirits of the dead Grasping hard and fast Pulling me on where they led I stumble and I fall But they live in my head I'm summoned when they call You belong to us they said You belong to us they said And so I live my thread Chained to ancestral fate it was for me they bled And I am filled up with their hate I cried, I wept, I pled I could not lift that weight Would that I had fled Instead their anger waited

The Braggart by clash bowley Copyright 2022 Back when I was a younger lad I roamed the seven seas I had a girl in every port To please and squeeze Oh I was such a handsome man My muscles rippled like silk My eyes shone with hearty health My teeth gleamed like milk Every woman wanted me Every man wished to be my friend The wine poured in liquid glee Drunk down to the very end Children born in every land Children of every race and creed Across the limits of the globe I spread my seed Oh the glories that were My eyes were fixed upon the stars Oh the glories that were I have fallen so far

Desire 02:26

Desire by clash bowley Copyright 2022 It was the summertime Warmed by the sun's fire I felt a different heat From you - desire I didn't understand It had come unasked for Crept in on stealthy feet To your core it took me far too long I was burned entire And you simmered long in your desire My words misunderstood Your actions fire started Consumed and turned to ash From your heart I ran away My sense of self aspired To go where safety lay From your desire

Three Times the Rule by clash bowley Copyright 2022 Gotta say somethin' now Gotta say somethin' cool Gotta say somethin' now Or they'll think I'm a tool But when I open my mouth And the words tumble out And it all goes south Doesn't leave any doubt One time not cool Two times you drool Three times the rule And you know you're a fool One time not cool Two times you drool Three times the rule And you know you're a fool I'm not too good at this game Keep my trap shut Or I'll say somethin' lame No if, and, or but But the longer I wait The worse it will be The words pour in a spate And they laugh with glee One time not cool Two times you drool Three times the rule And you know you're a fool

Desert Song 02:43

Desert Song by clash bowley Copyright 2022 I saw the shining star It pulled me like a magnet Pulled me in from afar It pulled the strings of my heart A constant tension there It like to pull me apart I crossed the desert hills I crossed the stone mountains Shivers in dark cold chills But still I walked along Shared my bedroll with mice Slept to the desert's song When I arrived at the place The light was too much for me My pulse began to race So I stayed hidden away In shadows cast by that star In the shadows I stayed
