Internal Movements

Internal movements,
can you feel me speak?
If I squeeze hard enough will I spring a leak?
I let your warm earth gently kiss my cheek,
as I close my eyes and listen for your silent heart beat.

Your silent heart beat.

I went down to the riverside
just to get myself away
From all the evil things this world has to offer;
this whole place has gone insane.
Well, I went down to the riverside
just to put my mind at ease,
and that’s when I realized that
--Oh Dear Lord!-- it’s not for me.

These words can mean everything if you feel the same,
they can turn out pointless if you give it a name.
You can sit in one spot and watch the world waste away,
as the rust settles into the metal we've created for our stay.

I found my mother
weeping out by the willow tree,
crying about all the changes in the sky,
although it was meant to be.
Well, I comforted my mother
and I said, “Dear Lady, I've got a hunch,
that once you've found your Mother Earth,
Father Time don’t mean so much."

Your words won’t fall upon empty ears,
those thoughts can’t be contained in a cage.
If it’s true that I’m wise beyond my years,
Than why do I feel so young for my age?
Some people complain they can’t afford the cost
of a love-life lived or a life-love lost.
Too many thoughts are left unsaid,
as all these words revolve inside of empty heads.

I met an old man once,
he didn't give a single damn about his health.
He said that “I don’t believe in a lot of things,
But I believe in myself.”
Well, he smiled at me, gave me a wink,
and said one of the smartest things I've ever heard, I think.
He said, “You've got to learn to love your self,
before you can even try to love anybody else.”

Yes, it’s true that a picture can be worth a thousand words.
Just like one egg can be worth a thousand birds.
All we need is just one disease to spawn a thousand cures.
In the end, one word can be worth a thousand pictures.
