There's a Man
Rolling down a tyre
In the middle of the road
He is exhausted
He's walking
Waking to somewhere
There's a girl
Walking impatiently
Down that same road
She's got a flat
She's cursing
Cursing about something
There's an old man
Cursing to the sky
Screaming down that road
He is angry
He's got too much to worry
Worry about everything
There's a child
Worrying about a family
About a broken road
So young
Looking for a comfort zone
A comfort zone

The Ballad Of Troy Davis
Maggie's got dust on her eye brows
She wipes it off with her nose
Jared's got tiger stripes on his palms
He don't care for no life lines
I've got mindless conversations
I tend to write them down right here
But this one's not about you and me
And it sure as hell ain't about them
This one's for Troy Davis
And how the filthy took a life
Now he is slowly turning to dust
And a nose that will only bleed
He sure can't dream about tiger stripes
Cause his life lines ceased to exist
He wont have a mind to converse
And a living space to vent it all in
This will never be about you and me
And it sure as hell wont be about them
This one's for Troy Davis
And the losers who took his life
She wipes it off with her nose
Jared's got tiger stripes on his palms
He don't care for no life lines
I've got mindless conversations
I tend to write them down right here
But this one's not about you and me
And it sure as hell ain't about them
This one's for Troy Davis
And how the filthy took a life
Now he is slowly turning to dust
And a nose that will only bleed
He sure can't dream about tiger stripes
Cause his life lines ceased to exist
He wont have a mind to converse
And a living space to vent it all in
This will never be about you and me
And it sure as hell wont be about them
This one's for Troy Davis
And the losers who took his life

The Letter L
Laureatte
She's a diver
She jumps right in
She's got a broken nose and a set
Of shining white teeth
She's a cook
She's a sister
She loves her siblings
She likes to keep it healthy
She likes to keep it clean
She is looking for love
And no, it ain't just coming
And ah, i
hope it comes to her soon
Leron
He's a writer
Alcohol and cigarettes
Just another day for him
He knows three different languages
He'd like to know one more
He knows no one
No one knows him
He lives in apathy
He lives a little less
He desperately needs love
And no, it ain't just coming
And ah, i
hope it comes to him soon
Love
They are an illusion
Some people dont believe
Some people wish they did
Some think they are unfair
Some have found them
They are trying to get through
This noise and dirt
They are trying to reach out
To Leron and Laureatte
They are looking for themselves
And no, it ain't just working
And ah, i
really hope they do
She's a diver
