Off The Rails (Tief)

Heartbreak decisions are
Are coming down the line
It’s the way of the world these days
For the suits to rob you blind
Engines keep turning
We’re widgets in a wheel
Pulling more than our weight each day
Just to close another deal
The line keeps moving and
The bean counters upstairs
Crack the whip and pull the strings, yeah
There’s no such thing as fair
I need to look at the water
The sky and the trees
It’s the only way
To lose the chaos of the day
And just let me be
The world we live in
Has gone straight off the rails
Money, fame and influence
Have become the Holy Grail
Breaking news and warnings
Steal my piece of mind
It’s hard to take the news all day
And there’s no place left to hide
Cut my connection to the world wide web ‘cause
Internet karaoke
Isn’t the best thing for my head
I need to look at the water
The sky and the trees
It’s the only way
To lose the chaos of the day
And just let me be
Knowledge is power
Compassion is the key
Spin it any way you want
The truth will set you free
I need to look at the water
And find tranquility
Let me look at the water
So simple and serene
I need to look at the water
The sky and the trees
It’s the only way
To lose the chaos of the day
And just let me be

No Shame In Askin’ (Ed Ekendu)
Copyright 2021 Ed Ekendu All Rights Reserved
Where’d you put that gun
You held on me before?
Maybe in the desk over there
In the upper right hand drawer?
What in the world made you ever think
You’d need it for me
Like some ingénue fatale in a black and white movie
You saw last night on TV?
Where’d you get the spark
To fire up the twinkle in your eye?
You know these questions won’t resolve
‘Cause you haven’t got the will to reply
Well maybe it’s the scent from the candle
That you lit to strike a mood
Maybe it’s just another vain attempt
To try and adjust my attitude
There’s no shame in asking
If you’d like to dance
If this walkup is your treasure
Why’d you ask me out tonight?
With the cocktail effervescence
Shimmering warm in the pink neon light
When in truth you’d rather just stay home
With a good book and your gun
Baby, it just breaks my heart to think
That you’ll been missing all the fun
There’s no shame in asking
If you’d like to dance
No shame in a little romance
There’s no shame in asking
If you’d like to dance
C’mon, Baby, let’s give it a chance

Amber Photo (ekendu)
copyright © 2021
you once were sunday mornings
and counting railroad ties
i was the twinkling in your eye
now you’re just distant legend
an amber photograph
i see the joke but i can’t laugh
‘cause when it comes to me
you’re not there at all
i want to share my secrets
to need and trust in you
but you can’t share my point of view
and when it comes to me
you can’t share at all
you still find time to call me
but then i find you gone
alone to bear another dawn
‘cause when it comes to me
you can’t bear it all
when it comes to me
you don’t care at all
when it comes to me

No Denial (ekendu)

I guess it kinda looks like rain
Weighing thoughts I can’t neglect
The more that things stay the same
The more that we expect
Sitting by a telephone
A call that never rings
That certain deaf’ning drone
That only silence brings
I guess it must be time to go
Or better put, a time to run
When shooting for the sky
I can’t deny the gun
