Password

Go against the tide.
My birthday is a waste of time.
I always feel 8, 18 or 80.
Lights are too bright,
shoes in the spotlight.
Imagination is key
but stop dreaming.
It's worthless,
it's endless.
Philosophy and fuck the world,
everything I'm too blind to see
the endless opportunity
that I've heard of.

Faith in Leaves

My worst is when I feel my best, promise not to look the other way.
You're always parading around through mirror stores, aware of what they say.
Does it bother you that they're just as shallow as you refuse to be?
No regret cards to be played, when you're down-side is swinging from a tree.

And you're telling me not to be so silly, that without respect you lose it all.
Behind, I hear distress yelling, "don't fall, don't fall."
I drew my back to everything I thought I always knew, and let my legs down,
Flying with the aliens, the dinosaurs the truth wouldn't have allowed.

Cheers to the mystery and the misery and the endless possibility,
Not having to get pulled into routine by continuity.
"You could be just like a star if you ever connect with the Earth,
Underneath the trench coat dreams in you there's more than the dollars worth."

Gave it up for the one who believes in transformation,
The figure who never has to live through the same alteration,
The blood is stained on the microscope slide,
There's nothing left inside left to hide.

Beginning to End.

Bright behind the boulevard where the broken see-saw hides,
Mosquito’s find their long lost wings and circle with the flies.
It’s all the same when you hide your shame without saying goodbye.
No, there’s nothing underneath the name so your eyes shouldn’t deny.

Sugar in your pocket, honey on the mind and tasting just like lime.
Take off the time and your shoes, both never will be mine.
Empathy knows no place ending emotions that can’t stay,
In the river or in the ocean where the dead can float away.

But the feeling of restraint won’t let me climb to the top of all wrong,
String sitting tied around my ankles, I started from Point A so strong,
How is this all worth it, how do you reach the end with the road in ties?
How am I meant to go through the motions with no life behind your eyes?
