Shane the Poet | Only Anthem
From perspective to perception, the land we see is the path we take, inhale the air, the exhale is the carbon we take and with great pride we refuse exertion of the wind so now tell me where we last landed, was it ashore, or was it upon nonsense ears that simply ignore? Lastly the…
Think back to the days we had,Tell me if I could’ve changed our path;What was it I did to feel that this was the road less traveled? I don’t want you to be the one that I miss,I don’t want you to be the one who got away, Find your way to me, in the…
You came to me in photographs and silhouettes,Memories that were never mine,A true love in a false timeScreaming“I’m not ready for this pain, why must we go this way?”Forgive the sunsets that you were never quite ready to see,And love just wasn’t ready for me; As the glue dried I started slipping back to my…
Follow me to the back end of the places nobody ever knew of,Help yourself to my footsteps and shadows,As time goes by, it’s commonly unsaidForever is longer than long enough,And if you continue to follow me,You’ll find I commonly end up nowhere and at dead end streets,Tonight the lights will give me my heat,Or else…
These weeks are running me downMotionless words,Sleeping in the back of my carAnd I can’t be overheard All alone, feeling lost at homeI’ve spent all day waiting for youAnd I can’t believe I’ve been so empty I’ve lived my life in waves between seas,These emotions are running and escaping meLike tripping on vines,Through the grape…
Good for you is the words youCan’t undo,Birds in flocks we all dive together You wanted to be the one to say“I wrecked your home”But you walked into shambles,A vague reflection of the walls I built for my own sake Mud, blood and money whole countless hours we put into taking you down We sent…
Sarah used to dream of portraying somebody else,Now she’s dreaming to be on a bed of nails, Forced perspective of a blind man, a world of lights that never stop for a moment, A world of blank walls, blanketed in pictures of your yesterdayThe man you once loved is now the man you wish you…
In a town full of doves,Celebrated no weddings with no loveAround every corner another broken man,A broken clan,The teeth of knives was our familiar enemy She said don’t wait,don’t wait,There’s plenty of fish and you’re baitThey’ll keep thinking you’re great but you’re not realYou were never real,A fake to be a meal So come along,All…
I miss you much and I hope you know I want you here to call my own, Oh so call it living, But last I checked your arms were thrown around my neck, And we were dancing, In a candlelit room and the music was melodic, Romantic Something that I’ve long lost, My darling how…
It took seventeen years for my dreams to fade away,While blank walls, blanketed in hollow frames of fire,I tic at the wink of an eye, blurry from the beer she poured Keep these miracles; prayFor our fathers well, we tossed away our rights to break the surfaceUnder the red blankets of blood we keep well…
