Lyrics

Room Without a Window
The position being taken is not to be mistaken
For attempted education or riotous accusation.
Only a description, just an observation of the pitiful condition of our degeneration.
Walls made of opinions, through which we speak and never listen.
Ceiling made of pride, vicious and self-satisfied.
Door that's made of rage, hard and slowly aged.
Always closing tighter with every war that's waged.
Room without a window can't see out
Room without a window can't see out, can't see out

Floor is made of lives, we'd gladly end to stay inside.
Corners made of borders, borders made of law and order,
Painted with the words of politicians and religion,
Plastered with the wreckage of our cultural division.
Room without a window can't see out
Room without a window can't see out, can't see out
-Operation Ivy

Here We Go
Just see he uses love for sex and sure she uses sex for love
And they're both hoping for the best
I also have that dream you're thinking of
If we place a blindfold on our eyes iron and gold appear the same
It's intense hope that makes us try so we go on and play the game

And once again we get attached and think we've found the answer
Here we go again
Ran into many walls but I know I'll get that answer
Here we wo again
We loved not wisely but too well

We're hoping he will be the one but we never learn from our mistakes
And based on beauty love soon dies then we make our move to separate

Yes iron and gold appear the same but one is costly to obtain
And I'll be the only one to blame if I resist I know I'll gain
-Shelter

Poetry

Untitled
He manipulates
bitterly
as my lust leaves

gone
only the void

the urge
is easy

but for me is
not within
-Drew Tinnin, December 1997
