MORE MONEY, MORE OPTIONS

MORE MONEY, MORE OPTIONS
by matt burns

When I was poor
I had little money
Few options
Few possibilities
So the direction was always clear
Poverty showed me the one 
And only 
Way

Now I have too much money
Too many options
Too many possibilities
So the direction
The path
The way
Has never been so limitless
And never been so unclear

PUFFY FACE

PUFFY FACE
by matt burns

Whenever I see him
He has a puffy face
He's holding an extra large coffee
And his glassy eyes look so tired.

I look in the mirror
It's just what I expected:
I look well-rested
Bright-eyed
Healthy
Yuck!

I want a puffy face
So I know I'm doing all I can.

DANCING WITH THE DEVIL

DANCING WITH THE DEVIL
by matt burns

It's fun to dance with the devil
Dancing with Jesus gets boring.
A full life hasn't been lived
Until you do that delicate dance with him
On the edge 
of the 
cliff

But whenever you dance with that slick prince
You must remember to always lead.
Don't let the devil lead
Because he'll lead you right over the edge.
He'll want to lead
And he'll be so gentlemanly
He'll say, oh, just let me lead, it'll be fun
Showering you with charisma throughout
But don't let him lead
Don't let him lead!
