Turtles All the Way Through

The nightmare screams
Shattering dreams
A tragic scene
Always lean
For it’s been seen
You’re hanging in the noose
A fatal part
Play your card
Left in shards
Gone too far
Outside the yard
The dogs are let loose
Make a stand
Where you land
An open hand
All is sand
Playing in the band
With nobody but the fools
Good luck, with your life
Getting through, the endless strife
With nothing more than
Turtles, all the way through
The years go by
For all you’ve tried
Seeking high
Left a sigh
Never die
Is a dream you belong to
Escape the game
No longer lame
Find the strange
What you gain
Not insane
See the swan that flew
Through the sun
Not yet done
Nothing won
Hear the gun
No more fun
Doing what you need to do
Good luck, with your life
Getting through, the endless strife
With nothing more than
Turtles, all the way through
Build a house
Escape from out
When in doubt
A canary shouts
The rain to douse
The fires from burning new
Start up a biz
Sell what it is
Make a list
Learning tricks
Nothing to miss
All the shades of blue
Fall again
The new found trend
Hope to lend
A modern friend
Lend a hand
The karma waiting for you
Good luck, with your life
Getting through, the endless strife
With nothing more than
Turtles, all the way through
See the end of the line
After the climb
All are blind
You unwind
See the signs
Give a howl at the moon
End of the trek
No more bets
All you said
Before you’re dead
The dreams which lead
Giving you another clue
What do you see
A long lost tree
No shedding leaves
Only to be
Always at peace
Leaving a life so cruel
Good luck, with your life
Getting through, the endless strife
With nothing more than
Turtles, all the way through
