lyrics

It’s not for nought

From California
Wherein a mission stood
Built for millennia
Not to be there for good

Stacking trays
Of what’s in my head
Books enough to blaze
Songs too rough to bed

It’s not for nought
If I had to guess
Let conscience be the guide
Then make do with more of less

It’s not for nought
We’re bound to be free
While something deep inside
Craves authority

My colors run
burning in the page
Smoke surrounds my sun
And what it means is hard to gauge

Hues will fade
Bleaching to pastel
Mars in retrograde
What that means no one can tell

It’s not for nought
If I had to guess
Let conscience be the guide
Then make do with more of less

It’s not for nought
We’re bound to be free
While something deep inside
Craves authority

about

Brian Stevens New Milford, Connecticut

I am an alien that was sent to earth to study humans and report my findings to minister Zolumb on the planet Yat. To fit in with other middle aged men in my area, I took up pretending to make music. Enjoy.
