A Poem by Craig Johnson
"

This is a collection of lyrics. My roommate challenged to just start writing anything, with the limitation that there be little or no structure so that he could then add structure to fit his musical interpretation and such. Hopefull something good will co

They are all here posted on the same item because they were written all within 3 hours sitting in a pete's coffee house.

Also 0.1.06 is my attempt at hip-hop so be gentle and such.

0.1.0

All the way here
Words fluttered through
My cavernous mind
Only to fly away
When I energetically
Find my pen

With the world waiting
My mind expectedly numb
Who will save you now
Your star player on the bench
And all of your substitutes
Either dead or lost

This bleak winter or unrest
None see clearly past
At best you can make out
The destruction of those you love
On the cusp, with anticipation
Look to the horizon for your revelation

For those waiting with solid hearts
Searching for your resurrected savior
A warning on faith
He is not coming!
You must look within
To find your resolution

With these words I fight
With these words I plea
With these words I challenge God
In all his frailty
To come and save his people
And fulfill his promise

0.1.01

To those who know
I pretend not to think of you
To those that don't
I lie to keep them in the dark

And to myself an honest look
I think about you all the time
With a want to scream my hatred to all
An explanation of such a sorrowful face

And they ask...
“Why little boy are you so sad?
Have you lost all the love you had?
What could make you feel so bad?”

Always I answer thus...
“My love, when I needed her, deserted me
She promised to forever love me
And sadly, to my heart, she still has the key”

So cut her down with all your might
Burn her hair, bring life to my hate
For I can't bring her any harm
Draw blood for me to refill my heart.

0.1.02

Help! Someone please help!
My friends are drowning
I only have one rope
I can't decide which to save

As heir love demands
I'm unable to save them both
If I throw the rope one of them dies
So someone help please help!

Help! Someone please help!
My friends are falling
I only have strength to catch one
The other will break wretchedly open

No one these days can fly
Though I wish they could
Should I let them both hit the ground
Damnit someone please help!

Help! Someone please help!
My friends sleep in the same bed
Though the travel different paths
But to either I can't say a word

I can't do this on my own
I can't even lend a hand
I can only let them both break
God Damnit, Why won't you Help!?

0.1.03

These restrictions of my soul annoy
Akin to a collar I can't get off
The leash held by millions of greedy hands
Do I dare bite to be set free

With every gentle step forward I take
Your inhuman stares pull me back
Unable to create I'm slowly dying
With a parched cracking throat I sing

Please let let let me go
I only strive to help you out
I seek no personal gain
These words are for only you and yours

To save the world is my only goal
Why is it you don't seem to see?
If only you would stop and listen
You might know the truth in my plea

Please cut the line that chokes me so
So that I may do what must be done
And open the eyes of all those blind
Then with parched cracking throats we sing

Please let let let us go
We only strive to help you out
We seek no personal gain
These words are for only you and yours

0.1.04

In from the outside
We're looking in from the outside
From the outside in
We can see all the downsides

In from the outside
We're looking in from the outside
From the outside in
We can see all the downsides

Blindly you run free
In a hurry to become what you will be
Slow down and look around you
And trust us when we say

In from the outside
We're looking in from the outside
From the outside in
We can see all the downsides

In from the outside
We're looking in from the outside
From the outside in
We can see all the downsides

Stop and think before you go trough
You can't turn back though you may want
The choice is yours there is nothing we can do
Except pray that you hear us when we say

In from the outside
We're looking in from the outside
From the outside in
We can see all the downsides

In from the outside
We're looking in from the outside
From the outside in
We can see all the downsides

0.1.05

I'm stretched so thin yet you demand more
I can't be your savior for my father is no god
A simple message repeated is all I have left
It's a dire shame I can't remember the words

You must wander around by yourself for slome time
While I search the ether for what you want
To pass the time remember what I've said before
And take to heart the message therein

(long wait)

Here it is, the message you've waited an eternity for
Though I think your not quite ready
In your life the only thing worth striving for
Is to be remembered with love by those you leave behind

0.1.06

Don't f**k with us
for you don't know who we are
Your best bet is to run
Fast as your b***h a*s can

We are the G Park crew
And we will destroy you
We don't use guns or knuckles brass
Yet still, you will find yourself on your a*s

I mean to be rude
I mean to be crass
My crew will always have my back
No matter how many times I ask

We are the G Park crew
And we will destroy you
We don't use guns or knuckles brass
Yet still, you will find yourself on your a*s

So f**k you all
With your closed in minds so weak
We'll blow open with such force
You can't help but weep

We are the G Park crew
And we will destroy you
We don't use guns or knuckles brass
Yet still, you will find yourself on your a*s


0.1.07

March in time to the beat
And soon you will find the reward
That was promised you when you signed up
Though I doubt it exists, you can always try

So, March in time to the beat
Do everything they ask of you
Be their puppet on silly strings
Debase yourself for their limitless selfishness

March in time to the beat
Forget that you have a will of your own
Lose your soul and become their pawn
And live forever unhappy on your vast estate

So, March in time to the beat
Or find in yourself your won rhythm of life
Be happy in life with what your have
And take solace in the love around you

0.1.08

If I write any more
My brain will become rattled
Becoming a play thing
Of innocent youthful dreams

So please, just let me be
I'm done for the day
If you force me to do more
I can't guarantee my word

If I could just have
A tiny bit of time
I need to pull myself back
Together, a whole mind again

Stop pestering me with
Your simple silly questions
I have questions of my own
With grandeur you can only dream

I swear on everything holy
Only with time can I help you
Let me be for a while
And I will return as if from the dead

0.1.09

Quick grab my hand
I'll pull you out
Of the sludge
You've fallen in

I'm sorry I didn't see
And warn before you fell
Please grab my hand
Or I can only blame me

I won't let you die
Such a pitiful end
It's unfitting and dull
For such a glorious life

Quick! Please grab my hand
This can't be the end
I'll miss you too much
I wasn't ready for this
I still need you by my side
You promised forever
This is far short of that
Grab my hand please!
Oh God, where it me
Please grab my hand!

Nooooooooooo..........(forever and ever)
