Like the Bird

Like the bird I fall;
Like the Earth I crawl.
Like the sand I am glass;
Like the first I am last.

I am number four

Tell the curtain I am drawn;
Tell the window I can see.
Tell the trees, that I am Quinn,
Tell the darkness I can win.

I am number three

Of the many we are few;
Of the lonely we are two.
It’s a symbol, not a mask;
Of the equal, we are less.

I am number two

She don’t know my poetry;
She don’t know it’s like;
Not like you, you walked in fire,
Not like you, you are mine.

I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you

Smile, it’s a Game

I used to think my solitude
Was cleverly conceived.
I am afraid, I was wrong;
Be afraid, they are wrong.
I used to stand, to wait and stare
For a hand to cover me.
They couldn’t see, or wouldn’t see.
Be afraid, they are wrong

Smile, it’s a game
Na, na, na, na
You just can’t put me away

Now when you say
That I was wrong
Where were you, I waited there.
Look out right, I needed more;
Thank you dear, I’ll meet the door.
The firebird who came in me;
All the while the time is now.
Once the well was overdry,
And the lie, it would go on.

Smile, it’s a game
Na, na, na, na
You just can’t put me to shame

Twenty years of silly girls,
I am to say they only know my fate.
In order then, I doubt I know,
I doubt I feel, I doubt I’m real.
All the hip and loyalists,
And we’re not on friendly terms;
Not with your face, or with your race;
Not with your sex, or with your thing.

Smile, it’s a game
Na, na, na, na
You just can’t put me away
