Three Cheers for Skittles

Through the past hours, I’ve been quite annoyed
Pacing and wondering, how to fill up my void
Waiting and waiting, is all I can do
Yet I’m asking and wishing, for something all new

I wish for the branches, to cover their trees
And for autumn colors, to turn out green leaves
For the people around me, to stop all their whining
To stop loving the boys, for which I’m still pining

Through the past days, I’ve been quite on edge
Wondering by which, party I’ll pledge
Don’t really care, about any right one
But it seems so important, to the office they run

I lean to the left, they call it ungrateful
I save all the water, they still say I’m wasteful
I talk to the right, they cut out your tongue
And say how the country will all come undone

Through the past months, I’ve been quite annoyed
At all of the little, fake girls and boys
I’ve found it so hard, to fit to this mold
That the masses tell us, they paid money to hold

Through the past years, I’ve been sitting around
Watching the skittles swirl on the ground
Drunk on a drug that dissolves in your mouth
Breathing in smoke that pours from a spout

But I’m still here, to watch and to wait
Still living somehow, after the last rush of hate
Cold water still boiling, as it runs ‘round my feet
And the sands of time move, and grind in my teeth

I don’t ask for much, and I don’t ask to change
Just wish to accept, the fate my life rains
But since I found god, skittles pour on my head
And remind me of times, I laughed instead

Still ‘live and kicking, after all of this time
And trying to explain it, in twisted strange rhymes
Thanks to the music, that still reaches our ears
Through all of the noise, and static we hear

Past all of the purists, and propaganda
We still have our lives, written in stanzas
By strangers we’d give, our lives just to meet
Brought into harmony, in our musical retreat
