my life is in chaos

unsettling and unkind

dreams of tomorrow

today seem a nevermind.

my life is in chaos

control, like sifting sand in a sieve

money, a farse formed by factions unfounded

sucking my desire & will, to live.

my life is in chaos

i cannot find the key

desperate to take back

the girl who's truly me.

my life is in chaos

i cannot tell you why,

my life is in chaos

and still i fight,

and still my light

refuses

to die.

Cow Tunnel, song by Bunta Nuna, lyrics by hv

Baby, baby, baby,
you say you wanna know the truth.
But you couldn't handle it,
baby.
Too distracted,
actin' aloof.


Baby, baby, baby,
I know you've been watchin' me.
Open up those eyes a bit,
baby.
Let in
real-i-ty.


Baby, baby, baby,
you better come down from there,
the air's thin & you might fall,
babe.
But do you
even care?


Baby, baby, baby,
for once, won't ya listen to me?
I see you noddin' & smilin',
baby.
But you're not
convincin' me.

This is the Life, song by Bunta Nuna, lyrics by hv

got one life to live
tryin' to live it right
got nothin' left to give
but i won't give up the fight

such apathetic clouds
won't rain and wash me free
tears soak to the ground
washed out to the sea

spring is in the air
birds sing in the trees
this is the life
that you left me


things end up the same
i don't want to complain
but last time we were here
i still held you dear

now i'm here alone
with your lies i must live
but i need you to know
something's got to give

[change]

don't know what to believe
you'd been my only wish
your betrayal makes me bleed
worse than a swinging fist

i trusted in your eyes
but your lies came from the lips
now i just want to survive
these lies you left me with



this is the life

that you left me

these are the lies

that you left me

American Way, song by Bunta Nuna, lyrics by hv

whole generations lost

in TV space,

no time for a home

don't even

know that place,

you run so fast you can't

recognize your own face,

the silent plague of this

american race.



weaving webs of lies in my ears,

hiding underneath that un-

touchable veneer.

you are the sum of all a

rational man's fears.

searching for the shred of

truth

in my tears.



marching to

your own time,

of conscience and

partly pride.

your stars they'll for-

ever shine,

but how brightly till

they make you

go

blind?



believing the webs of lies in my ears,

hiding underneath that un-

touchable veneer.

you are the sum of all a

rational girl's fears.

searching for the shred

of truth

in my tears.



(change)



if i scream

would you hear me?

if i scream...



if i dream

would you fear me?

my dreams they

are so near me...





just tryin to find the 'american way'

won't you show me the 'american way'?

what is this 'american way'?

i wanna do it the 'american' way.



if i cry

would you hold me?

would you stay...



if i die

would you have known me?

or would you throw

me

away?




i can't find the 'american way'

is there really an 'american way'?

i don't believe in the 'american way'

it's all a lie, the 'american way'.

Soft clouds contrast
with fierce night sky
in breathless breeze
float silently by

Now rest your head
and close your eyes
as liquid dreams dance
to shy lullaby

somewhere
in this reality

laced
in cryptic subtlty

past the
private cruelties

caused by
insecurity

quiet tensions
seethe

such that some
can hardly breathe

in a moment
of tragedy

could one try to
thread the 'we'

'round a thing so
unsteady

or might you
fold it up

and leave

til a bleeding
seizing
freezing
fear

dropped
a tear

and he couldn't
hear

to believe me

no he couldn't
hear

to relieve me

he couldn't
hear

just how sincere

the worlds of a fool

could be.

when wrinkles outnumber hairs
we'll be rockin' in our chairs
on a porch overlooking a hill
or maybe, a cul-de-sac.

bonfires' burnin'
seasons keep turnin'

our kids playing with theirs
all The Family will be there
matriarchs' content peace
giggles blowin' in the breeze...

bonfires' burnin'
seasons keep turnin'

wrinkles mapping history
sands unscarred by time.
"always" unexaggerated
with you there, by my side.

My life is a series
of braided tangents,

seeking an eclectic balance
between surreal optimism
and intrinsic skepticism,

inconsistently motivated
toward conscious evolution

with the assumed consequence
of fallible wisdom

and a peaceful simplicity
ever only tasted

but never fully dined upon.
