Painless=less pain

walking down the streets of my youth
looking here and there for something
old not new

its laughter and pain come to my mind
yesterday's not always, a good thing to
look for and find

'cause your pain, will always become
more, than you'd ever left behind

so now, I'm wandering through my past
and still I miss that light, I then had it
disappeared and left me over night

never to reclaim its right, to shine again
so very bright, a thing of the past, a lot
of pain, a lot of what I never had

but now, shifting through the leafs of time
now I find, my pain has become more or less
less paimless, now I can shine agian, maybe
so very bright, somewhere in time

Come to a rest

I have to live this life one thing
I must do, I don't why, somethin'
you get born into

I feel like floatin' down a stream
don't know where it leads me I just
can't see

it's like a dream floatin' in
different directions, all of them
new

it's all a surprise what I find
it's called life, it's a sunrise a
new dawn

I'm floatin' down a stream can't
see it comin' to an end, somewhere
somehow

I believe, there's a place, where I'll
stay, an... come to a rest

Fish nor bone

he has no interest whatsoever doesn't play
ball afterall, couldn't care less instead about
the state of distress, you or me might be at
knows nothing wether,

the state is in a mess only one thing he needs,
is my work complete, seems to me, he's dead
meat in a whole lot of trouble, doesn't know
how to live, fish nor bone he is
