re: a bad day

Drink the round
its been a hard day
take the edge off
get misery out of the way

Once secure in friendly settings
let go of the mean trappings
let yourself come forth
be it for better or worse

so it has been a hard night
we are all there from time to time
take your shoes off, get your load on
no presumptions made here on

get back to the truth
or at least what it means to you
there are enough troubles ahead
but tonight enjoy yourself before its time for bed

holy repetitions

We carved the old graven images
not because we actually believe in them
its just what we are raised to do

we passed lip service to the dead old deities
not because we thought they would hear us
its just that there is no one else to talk to

we followed the old hollow traditions another year
not that we cared to be doing those things
its just that we pretend there are rules

when a relative dies we give them the holy send off
not because we think they have found peace or are with god
its just the lines we tell ourselves when nothing is true
