John T. Wurzer - Descending Stares

Three down and one to go
Flying high and flying low
Going up and going in
Never knowing if I'll win...or lose
Three down and one to go before I know I've really got the news

Windows open, windows close
Ask them once, nobody knows
Ask them twice, nobody shares
And by the third time no one cares...about me

Seven days and seven nights
Turning on and off the lights
Watching stars move all around
The sun comes up and sinks into the sea

Barren branches on the trees
Someone falls down to their knees
Soon the leaves begin to sprout
Leaves of green are coming out...it's spring

As I sit there in this room
Watching fresh ideas bloom
Watching raindrops wash the sky
Watching old ideas die...I sing

Now I'm struck so suddenly
That none of us are really free
It brought a temporary smile
Imagining a life worthwhile...so sane

In the shadow of that thought
Wrapped in darkness, overwrought
Throwing out the things I bought
I finally found what I once sought...in vain

Secret hallways, special doors
Ceilings gone forever more
Flying high above the earth
Speaking not of what it's worth...to preach

As for matters now at hand
Dreams and schemes, desires fanned
Points of business oh so bland
Like the grains upon the sandy beach

Strangers faces, stranger still
As I stand here on this hill
Prone to swallow one last pill
Exercising my free will...to shout

Can all of these things I own
Make a house become a home
Are they reasons for to roam
Or sit alone and clutch the phone...in doubt

I finally dreamed a dream last night
That I climbed up another flight
Of stairs with flashing neon lights
Friendly, green, and in my sights...They burned

Eat at Joe's you won't get thin
Live nude girls, come on in
Please notify my next of kin
That originally born to sin...I turned

Three are down and one remains
They once were scars; now they're stains
After dark someone explains that
If I had a hundred brains...I'd burst

Void of purpose, void of drive
Being careful not to strive
Too hard to keep myself alive
And find though I survived...I made things worse

Someone loves me, sweet and kind
I'm forever in her mind
She must be deaf, she must be blind
These ties that bind, won't break while I'm alive

Though it's true I love her too
In everything I say and do
Every day while coffee brews
I wander around this zoo and roll my eyes

In this marketplace of jewels
Once discarded ancient tools
Auctioned now by loudmouthed fools
Let's start breaking all the rules...move on

Slowly falling from the sky
Or climbing down from way up high
With a sparkle in your eye
That's a feeling I can't buy...on Amazon

Goodnight, good evening, my good friend
It's been nice to finally spend
Some time with thoughts I can defend
But it seems this night's about to end...unwound

I'll find you somewhere down the aisle
I promise I'll have packed a smile
When? I don't know, quite awhile
Whenever this brand new lifestyle...slows down
