Are you high my fair feathered brother

are you sailing on the wing

are you shining like the star you are

are you special, are you the real thing?

Is everyone after you brother

trying to touch a piece of your light

are you crowned in jewels like a king

in the jungle of the night?

Are you making history brother

are angels yours to own

are you the leader brother

can no one touch you now?

I’ll see you tomorrow

when you come back down

I’ll see you beyond

what you are going through now

You’re too big to know

and too fool to care

about anything more than

your social fanfare

A dime

So much madness

I can’t digest

so many patterns

so little rest

He knew he was well

until you told him your view

and bent his direction

unloosened his screws

The cruelty has wasted him

and now he is gone

he thought he was special

he thought he shone

I can’t believe you now

I saw your evil ways

the fear in your eyes

as you blamed a friendly face

If he was crazy

you could have helped him through the night

instead you tied the noose

until he couldn’t fight

One day soon

you’ll pay for your crime

you tried to break a friend

you sold him out for a dime

Adventure

Now I’m growing tired of the confines

they are always
