Solstice

by Syd Lane

/
1.
You For Me 02:19
I don't care When people stare They look so mean They make me smile Open up your heart and see You were meant for me Do they see that we're not the same? Is that why they stare? Cause we don't play their game? Do they see that you belong to me? I know that you belong to me.
2.
Simple pleasures for the complex I love being bored I don't mind just passing the time away Simple pleasures for the complex I love being bored Never doing anything that pays There is nothing to drag me down I love laying 'round the town I don't got money weighing me down I'm happy You and me, we've got a long time To lay in the sun Handing out flowers to everyone Nothing good is ever easy Except for this love The love we have for each and everyone Simple pleasures for the complex I love being bored I don't mind just passing the time away Simple pleasures for the complex I love being bored Never making money Never getting paid
3.
The moss and the willow tree The romantic dream of family It's all illusion don't you see For none of us are really free From this invert reality I hold my head it's not for me I know who I am, but not how to be I know I'm nice but they say I'm mean Oh, there's nothing to do anymore Oh, there's nothing to say anymore They don't know The dream and the fantasy The things I hold so dear to me We're all alone and without peace Oh will this madness ever cease In tune with love I hope to be I long to hold a memory There's no one else but you I see My undivided reverie Oh there's nothing to do anymore It's all been done Oh there's nothing to say anymore We don't know
4.
Those who restrain desire Do so because Theirs is weak enough to be restrained And the years go by without ever finding your love
5.
My reach exceeds my grasp It's because I never ask I do whatever I want I wouldn't try to change you Don't criticize and cry I couldn't explain it We'll never know why I'm the way I am And you're not I wouldn't try to change you Just let me choose
6.
Pluck the stars from the heavens They're just lights That one day go out When your madness ascends There'll be no need to shout Lift the pen from the paper Tell the jester he was right About the moon and the liar They're dancing tonight Lay her down She's a faker Her lies are too deep And in the whites of her eyes I can feel your cold sleep
7.
I feel my heartbeat under the water I couldn't tell her, I couldn't tell her what to do my love Is it you she's thinking of It's you, and it's me We've broken free From Tyranny I'm seeing stars whenever I kiss you I couldn't tell him, I couldn't tell him what to do my love Is it me he's thinking of
8.
I'm sick of all the ones who say Your voice is louder everyday A louder voice does not equate Confidence, or strength innate I died for beauty I died and I won't come back I died for beauty I died I died for beauty I died and I won't come back I died for beauty I died Fuck your words I can't relate To what you don't appreciate I am me And you're still you Tall poppy syndrome Gleaming through I died for beauty I died and I won't come back I died for beauty I died
9.
In their world of fear It gets darker every year And they're trying to keep us From the light But the truth will shine From an open loving mind An unrestrained Beautiful delight Delight In their world of fear It gets darker every year And they're trying to keep us From the light One day they will know That their greed won't let them go From their never ending night The night The night, with no moon That's their night And the wind that blows Through the trees lets me know We are more than our money And our time Though it's hard to let go And to feel the flow Of rhythm, songs, and rhyme Rhyme It's all the matters me Is songs and rhyme "never lose your sense of wonder Even if you lose all else"
10.
My love is far away I don't know anymore What this living is for Is this demon here to stay Did it come through me Is it that plain to see I wish I didn't feel the cold that day I can remember how his touch graced my skin My love is far away Will I ever be his Will I taste one last kiss My love is far away I don't know anymore What this living is for How could God repay His child with such pain
