Keep It |
| The world lives in your front room |
| You’re sitting happy in gloom |
| Fate worries you, you will not give her room |
| You give credit for might, inspiration and sight |
| But you miss the point |
| You won’t join the fight |
| You think to use is to lose so your clinging, pulling pleading |
| Try and keep it safe |
| Keep it cozy but it feels so out of place |
| You’re feeling a loss but youre not fit to make it |
| You offered so much but youre frightened to take it |
| It never was really proved, never was understood |
| But there really is no virtue in the good |
| The shoutings so loud that they’d do better to mime |
| You’re deafened and you cannot hear the rhyme |
| But secrets in whispers pull you, try to tempt you |
| Try and keep it safe |
| Keep it cozy but it feels so out of place |
| You’re feeling a loss but youre not fit to make it |
| You offered so much but youre frightened to take it |
| You beg for help and advice, how to handle your life |
| But you dare not move, you cannot pay the price |
| Chances slip, you just chatter, flatter, to forget what matters |
| Spout your lines, read all your books |
| You hear the sounds, miss all the hooks |
| Your best is what you least understand |
| You hate the graft, won’t join the race |
| You’re scared to scar your pretty face |
| Safe now cause your head is in the sand |
| Keep it |
