Summary: Love is compassion

lyrics

There was a time when I was addled
When I was rattled
When I would fall apart
Up and down your prayers
When I would disagree
With every blink and stare
When I would wonder
If anybody cared
About:
the diversion from the perversion
or the incursion of the coercion
and the inversion of the assertion
Feeling uncertain of the conversion
All things suburban, so much exertion
to my aversion and the excursions
just to determine real deep submersion
we need immersion of some subversion
or an insertion of some desertion
And then we'd all fall apart with every blink and stare
And then we'd all fall apart with every blink and stare

There was a time when I was saddled
When I was battled
When I could live or die
I didn't even care
When my words and thoughts
Were really quite impaired
When everything good in life was really getting scarce
Because of:
the time lines and all the designs
must I mistime all of the guidelines
we used every skyline just to opine
and tried to define for just for one time
I needed to refine my soul for recline
and then assign what was benign
shift what was sublime to the divine
release the confines for my lifetime
throw me a lifeline before I decline
And then we'd all fall apart with every blink and stare
And then we'd all fall apart with every blink and stare

And now it is now and I'm still hard to handle
I tend to just babble
And I might fall apart
Up and down your prayers
I might disagree
But I fending off despair
And I don't wonder
If anybody cares
Because:
love's not a fashion and it's more than passion
love might feel like a spasm, but it tends to fasten
love won't be rationed, it'll just happen
love's not a mansion, it is a bastion
love's not a caption, it is impaction
love's not ashen, love is adaption
love's not contraption, love smells like jasmine
love's not a faction, love's a companion
love's not an assassin, love is compassion
And we might fall apart with every blink and stare
And then we can rise back up because we all can care

The Halcyon Brothers Minneapolis, Minnesota

Halcyon is a poetic name for a Kingfisher. It is said that the floating nest of the Halcyon brings calm to the cruel sea. The Halcyon Brothers decorate the weight of the world in a charming and medicated disguise. The sound embraces with a clinched smile, and then stumbles and occasionally falls only to somehow prop itself back up for another round. ... more
