Rock n Roll

You carry on the destructive cycle

it shows the fakeness when you smile

you only walk towards the grave

your choice, to be the change you crave

Hide behind those lies you tell

the rock n roll lifestyle, really a living hell

people drop in the blink of an eye

the tears formed start to dry

No one can escape for you

no magic wand in view

just a struggle to find yourself

before you end up on the shelf

When the party is over, the music ends

the room clears, those burnt out weekends

left to sit alone, was it worth the cost

all the things you've lost

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.

running

Drink so hard, throw it down, let the darkness cloud
what are you running from? what scares you so?
A hole where the heart once sat proud
cut away, all those years, the tears, so long ago
the love once held inside, now just a memory in the distance

The look in your eyes, says you want to be anywhere but here
you always smile before you dig the knife in
what are you running from? what is it you fear?
days lost to a drug fuelled rage, you can still find the love within
find a place in this world, turn a new page

You want to disappear from view, longing to be clean
but need another hit, feel so drained, dirty abused, unfit
What are you running from? where have you been?
you run to escape, blank out days, to find a place away from it
find your place in this world, feel the love hidden deep

Forever running, to escape our darkest demons call
they follow us throughout, don't run, turn and shout
we can be strong, we can be tall, the demons will fall
take a step towards a life that holds you to its heart, stand out
find your place, feel the love that holds us all true

Thanks for reading,
Kyle.

Addict

Mind flips back the pages, the diary empty, devoid

so many missed entries, where was I? absent

the time, my past, that lives only in fragments

where drink took my hand, took me places best to avoid

feeling melancholy, maybe should have a coffee, or a tea

soaked with whiskey please, chase my demons away

to keep my emotions at bay

head sore from the night before, the wreckage, the brains debris

A single, make that a double, ill take three of them

and a beer to help the buzz hit

where did the day go? sun gone all moonlit

moonshine reminds me of a good night, what have I become?

Last orders at the bar, the bell is ringing

should go home, shouldn't have another one

but this addicts mind is all wired wrong

it helps stops the thoughts from stinging

Another day passed out, passed by, seen through the bottom of a bottle

don't mind, no reasons to be around

my mind is sinking, my brain is slowly drowned

can I take these beatings I'm serving myself? I'm near rock bottom

With eyes open, the room spins, closed I see you

no escape, this is not living

this is barely even existing

need to find peace, find it in me to feel new, can I pull through?

These words are days long past

from a time where all felt unworthy

felt so alone, so full of worry

before I gained strength to live at last

Thanks for reading,

Kyle.

Higher love

Trip along, all the drugs in the world, couldn't take us amongst the stars

this love, its touch alone, enough to show us the wonders of the universe

no other way to fly, so much higher, with you by my side, the sky all ours

these sights, colours, lights, sounds as shapes abound, all for us to traverse

No drug could replace love

Soft hair against my skin as wonderful as life can ever feel

no trip could take its place, no magic pill could replace the thrill of you with me

they would be moments fleeting, not like our lifetimes supply, loves done deal

As the tides of our life wash over, pink,yellow, green and red, our own worlds sea

no high could outshine love

The dreamlike nature of love, conjures up whole sets of feelings, mind blown

nothing could supplant this magical journey, as we sit, laugh and joke

the amazing glaze across the world, in its newborn infancy, with you never alone

the smallest of things take on new meaning, life of their own, no one can revoke

no euphoric state could replicate love

Dance on, free, special, like the world is a dancehall

the floor like neon, the walls glass, the room could be made of gold

as we flow, floating, to the beat of our own tunes, an amazing sound surpassed all

this freaky crazy dream state, loves playground, remarkable, perfection, all told

nothing could transcend a day with you

Thanks for reading,

Kyle.

Escape

Escape, we all seek, a way out, freedom, free from our minds,

some use drugs, to numb the thoughts in their heads, their grinds,

to drive away demons of the past, the memories that last, to find their Elysium,

close doors on their histories, their stories, to feel oblivion.

Escape, the prison of the mind, its walls so high, holds us in place,

some turn to drink, to cleanse the fragile state, clear their slate, to erase,

the doubts, hurt we caused ourselves and others,

the lies, the hate and rage, the cries late at night, save us,

Escape, a room with no doors no windows, a dark gloom,

some use work, swapping one cell for another,

give no time to others, to give their worth to bosses,

never given the praise, just to be away from their losses,

Escape, we all have ways to break from our days,

for some its sex, go from one lover to another,

never giving in to emotion or feelings just using to be free,

to feel some worth, never realising it is all within,

the path exists for us all, just find it to begin,

we all search for our drug, to run, to get out, to blank our stays,

if you look inside there is still good, it resides, it gains, always,

live with it, love it and face it, this life can be a hit,

instead of seeking escape, lets embrace it.

Thanks for reading.
