Si Vis Amari Ama

Malcolm Xavier Jackson

Lovelorn
Black sheep
Graze amongst the garden
Life has tread the least
Across the eyes of beasts

Wayward
Black sheep
Grow into the ram
They said you'd never be
Said you'd never be

Or is it easier for you
To lie below instead of stand your ground
To the voice behind your eyes
And their endless wall of sound

Keep your eyes on the stars tonight
And know they'll never leave you
For the loveless learn to love
Before the light goes down

Daydreams
and starlight
Keep your body to the ground
When its hard enough to breathe
And harder still to see

Wayward Aurelia
On a stairway to the moon
Reaching out for pieces of peace
Denied by the one who brought you home

Or is it easier for you
To lie below instead of stand your ground
To the voices behind your eyes
And their endless wall of sound

Keep your eyes on the stars tonight
And know they'll never leave you
For the loveless learn to love
Before the light goes down
