Consume my heart
With something I don’t need
For wealth over virtue
Has poisoned me, poisoned me
Choices of desire
Spent ages conspire
To suckle and or straighten
All those needs I see
Trigger pointed
At my brain
It controls me
Vain thoughts patrol me
To spend away
Locked in a visage
Remorse running back
To take ahold direction
This subtleness I lack
I lack, but
I’m in love with a human desire
I’m in love with human desire
I’m in love with human desire
I’m in love with human desire
I’m in love with human desire
I’m in love with human desire
I’m in love with human desire
I’m in love with human desire

I’m wide awake with a cough
I’m wide awake with a cough
I’m feeling so week
I can’t feel my feet
I’m wide awake with a cough
I’m wide awake with a cough
I can’t seem to sleep
I’ve suffered defeat
I’m feeling so weak
Oh I can’t feel my feet
And now I’m wide awake with a cough

I’m a sucker for quick indecision
I get lost in your own polyrhythms
So look at me right in the eyes
And maybe one day I’ll decide
I’ll decide
I’ll decide
I’ll decide
When I look in your eyes
I’ll decide
I’m a feeble reminder at best
I have something to get off my chest
So why do I feel like you cry
To encourage my thoughts to decide
I’ll decide
I’ll decide
I’ll decide
When you cry

He’s simple and suave
An actor of love
He sidesteps her feels
And swoops from above
He doesn’t care about
Hurting her
And she doesn’t care
About hurting
Enactor of love
Pretender for what
To render a dove
From a paper card
He doesn’t know it
And if he does
He won’t show it
And she won’t say
Enactor of love
As fake as it is
He will still hide
Beneath her eyelids

He was here
He was here

Sometime ago
I found out
That my time
Was growing nearer
A quarter decade
Old my thoughts
Were never any clearer
Of where I was
Or where to go
I’ll never know or say
For clarity is best beheld
By youth of our today
And now I fly above the sea
Five-hundred miles per hour
The world to see
Is beside me
Besought by time of dour
Reciprication or remorse
I’ll never know or say
But at least I have a
View of clouds
And a foldout airplane tray
|

Waiting
At the
Airport
In a
Foreign
Country
Feigning
Disposition
As I fight
Anxiety
Leaning on my kin
I kindly can amount to stay
A feeling of far reaching
Fortitude affront to my dismay
So long, world I know
So long, I’m here to stay

When the winter lasts so long
I notice that the will is strong
This song is from my point of view
Too few will know it’s made for you
For you
You know it’s true
So laugh at me I dare you too
I feel that I could see right through
To you
Too true
You knew
This song was for you

Oh Yunnan
You’ll take my hand
And bring me to the temple
Across the land
Oh I can’t find
The way home
All the way home
I’m all alone
Oh Yunnan
I’m half a man
Across the lake
To see the land
But I’m on my way home
I’ll never know
I’m solid stone
I’m home

I don’t know what I’m doin’
I don’t know what I’m doin’
But I’m doing it anyway

Six corners of money
Small property
And now it’s all been
Lost in our obscurity
Ten reasons to doubt
About prosperity
We all are but born
Without reality

Closure
Is all I need and all
I seek difference
Of opinion
To call upon
Remembrance
A grain against my skull
At all
I’m pretending
I forgot it all
And all is all
Conquest
I feel the need is small
To request
The simple
Feeling’s fall
And all
Forgiveness
Will tell me what I want to know
Or maybe
I will finally fall
And all

I’m in a bitter need
Of company
I can’t hardly
Understand or see
Why I owe it to myself
Will I stowe it on the shelf
Will I forget why I’m here
I’ll just down another beer
I’m just a soldier
Of my own demsie
I see you want to be
With other guys
So I don’t know why I tried
To see through all your lies
And I notice all your alibis
Are tried and tried and tried
I’m in a bitter need
Of company
I can’t hardly
Understand or see
Why I owe it to myself
Will I stow it on the shelf
Will I forget why I’m here
And I’ll just down another beer
And I’ll down another beer
And I’ll down another beer
And I’ll leave behind my fears
|

It’s not important at all
The way your finger prints on the wall
The crooked smile’
Put me in denial
I’m starting to feel very small
It’s not decisive at all
The shape of things to come that will fall
The wicked inner vision
That has me on a mission
I’m shouting straight in the hall
I’m shouting
I’m shouting
I’m shouting
Straight into the hall
|

17. |

Why can i find
The future unwind
My back leaning slowly
At hand
Remorse of it’s kind
Cut lose of the rind
As simple as rocks in the sand

When I grow old
The stories are told
The words will get cold
In the evening I’m sold
But where
And how
And what do I know at all
And why
And when
Will I ever know at all
When I grow old
The stories are told
The words will get cold
In the evening I’m sold
But where
And how
And what do I know at all
And why
And when
Will I ever know at all
When I grow old

Where I’m going
I don’t know
Where I’m going
I left the town behind me
I left the town
I left the town behind me
I left the town
Where I’ve been before
I don’t know
Where I’ve been before
I don’t know
I left the town behind me
I left the town
I left the town behind me
I left the town
Where I go
I don’t know
Where I go
Where I go
I don’t know

Opuloid vindictine
Opuloid vindictine
Rip you open by the seams
And gorge upon you inner dreams
But Opuloid vindictine
Opuloid vindictine
Stranger still the world it teams
With out of body glittering
But opuloide vindictine
You are just a nasty mean
As fast as gleaming streams
They lean on lastly vast and serpentine it
Blasts through turpentine
Casts apart the lean until we see that
Serotonin levels drop
I hear you moaning through the stop light
Fright as fraught your lovers quarrel
Ought to bring me that In which I
sought and feign
I know of that which drives the
Man insane and vain
It’s happening I lost the pane
Of glass it shattered in the vast
And endless sea of
Matters open matters closed I’ll
Never know for sure
I hardly know what it means
I guess I’ll dump it in the streams
I’ll scream and drop the vial
Lost to all the night’s naught
But opuloid vindictine
Opuloid vindictine
You are not what you seem

Just found my frown

I bet on a horse to day
I lost all my money that way
And you think it’s funny, ok
Well it’s not i’d say
I fell down the stairs today
I lost my damn mind that way
And you think it’s funny, ey
Well it’s not that funny
If simple is simple
If simple is simple
The then why is everything so complicated
I feel like I am really getting jaded
And everything I do will be hated
At least that can be debated
I bet on a horse to day
I lost all my money that way

Well it’s not that funny, ok
If simple is simple
If simple is simple

And everything I do will be hated
Well a t least that can be debated

If simple was simple

All these mountains are unclimbable
All these roads they lead no where
These old books are untranslatable
Text that’s lost to disrepair
This content is quite negotiable
Leading plot into despair
Characters are unemotional
Lacking vision, pride, or care
Every feeling’s understandable
All direction lacks it’s course
Dusty pages are un-turnable
Plot is lost in its discourse

I don’t want to be your friend
Nor your enemy
I just want to walk a way
When you come talk to me
I wanna be the guy
That simply passes by
And looks you in the eyes
Then passes by
No you don’t deserve my time
I spent enough on you
You betrayed my trusting mind
When I was good to you
I wanna be the guy
That simply passes by
And looks you in the eyes
Then passes by

Sunlight
I need it for my mind

I am underwater
And I can hardly swim
If you feel my cold, cold pulse
Underneath my skin
Will you jump in
This ol' water’s dirty
I can hardly see
When my eyes are o-o-open
Will you feel me
Or let me be
Will you jump in patiently
Will you jump in patiently
Will you jump in patiently
And let me be
When I’m underwater
Nothing else exists
Save for pressure, bubbles
And a a dark, dark mist
I can assist
Will you jump in
Will you jump in patiently
Will you jump in patiently
Will you jump in patiently
Or will you let me be
Will you let me be

Wall street
Yr not so neat
You missed the fuckin' point
If you ask me
But who would ask me?
I don’t know
Wall street
Your bringing me down
To my feet
Stretching me
Off my seat
Wall street
Yr not that bad
Now that I’m making
Some of the best investments I ever had
And I’m sorry i said those things
How could I?
How could I?
I’m rich as a fire
Dead as a guy
Who’s ready
Betting on the door
Now that I’m here to cry
Wall street
Thank you for making me rich
To the top
And I’ll buy a gold ditch
For when I die

Waiting for misstep
Waiting for misstep
Betting against you
Betting against you
Watching you pull through
Watching you pull through
Never get used to
Never get used to
I’m on my own track
I’m on my own track
Charting my own course
Charting my own course
Lost in my deep thoughts
Lost in my deep thoughts
Hell bent on recourse
Hell bent on recourse
What does it mean to get ahead
When I can hardly leave my bed
I’ll take it, oh
Well second place is better than last
I guess I’ll take it
Second place is better than last
Oh yeah

Why do I deserve all this
Free time on my hands
It seems like it’s
Not fair, Not fair
Not fair, Not fair
Why can I feel my time it
Slips away my lazy ways and I
Don’t care, Don’t care
Don’t care, Don’t care
I have succumbed to the thought that
I’m the only one that matters
I guess it’s ok
That’s the american way
I have digressed to the feeling that
The world is my rendition
Of reality today
That’s the american way
Why don’t I care at all
About the point of bleak disaster and it’s
Not fair, not fair
Not fair, not fair
We’ll never know the truth that’s
Out there It’s certainly a shame that we
Don’t care, don’t care
Don’t care, don’t care
And I’ll rest my case that the entire
Human race will expire
Empathies will melt away
As ego trumps the world today
