Empty the Jewels - Ryan Power

I dreamt I found it here

The one they call the Key

Up to my knob

That’s one lucky fob, friend (foe)

Are we still sitting here?

Too old to start a Prius

Life back in tribe

Madmen would rise up

No, I will not go

Lioness, fix your eyes on me

Do not waste her time, bemoan

What skin and bones have you come to offer

I live and breath inside the dark

Against my will, I found a spark

I’m just an ordinary man

With one extraordinary plan

This is the best news I have heard

Please make a promise

Leave your light on

And see this through

Can I rely on you

To caress your faults?

Empty the jewels from their vaults

It’s just an ordinary day

Complete with extraordinary pain

If you hang on too long

Less time to blame or preach

Why fix it now?

It’s beautifully out of reach

Too soft to hear the sound

Your soul has been eclipsed

Happy in health

Poor memory helps

Go, fake fights, let’s go

Wheel pushing you to leave

The warrior with the shortest fuse

Has no excuse for this

Distant starling

I live and breath inside the dark

Against my will, I found a spark

I’m just an ordinary man

With one extraordinary plan

This is the best news I have heard

Please make a promise

Leave your light on

And see this through

Can I rely on you

To caress your faults?

Empty the jewels from their vaults

It’s just an ordinary day

Complete with extraordinary pain

Too gifted to sell yourself

The idea that this is wealth

Too brilliant to find a way

Outside the suffering of grace

The saddest joke you’ve ever heard

This is the jolly life absurd

Good day
