The Unconvincing Dream

Sunday papers roll on past,
People roll their own at last
But covered by the darkened windows loom
The faces of the sentinels
guarding what cannot be yours,
you'd better run and hide your head
This amazing ticket to your consciousness and all of time
can be yours for only a small fee
We'll treat you to a wondrous feast,
cure you all of your diseases,
but we can't keep you safe or clean
People talk and try to walk
through the ever-rising sludge
And someone calls to get the plumbing fixed,
but the plumber, he's already fixed
There's a portrait of the damned who slouch
underneath the stands of football-watching superstars
who'll never sit behind those bars
Although they fill us to the brink
with all the shit that you could dream,
but the dream is only one of mass control
Here he sits behind the screen,
slippins slowly into a dream
that someone else created with his cash
Here she sits and tries to dream
And put the colors on the street,
but somehow the creativity is gone
Sunday papers roll on past,
People roll their own at last
But covered by the darkened windows loom
The faces of the sentinels
guarding what cannot be yours,
you'd better run and hide your head
So throw away the cluttered cards,
hysteria, and break the bars,
and meet me when you've freed your mind

Rabbit Hunting

I've been working all night long
Been seeing things in the walls
I hear the creature down the hall
say come back home.
I’ve been sleeping in the streets
keeping busy on my feet
I think I’m breaking at the seams
yes, I’m in trouble
police man says I cannot stay
but I’ll be back another day
to see you all
If you need a helping hand
to sail away from this land
of sanity
call on me
Acid comes a dime a dozen
if you bring your pretty cousin
You’ll get it free
Now come with me!
I’ve been chasing that pretty white rabbit
I’m reaching down
Just couldn’t quite grab it
but when I catch it,
I’m going to stab it alright.
I've been working all night long
Been seeing things in the walls
I hear the creature down the hall
say come and get me!
The rabbit now he’s packing heat
bullets flying down the street
straight at me
In this town they have no fear
of what I see and what i hear
It cannot be —
Insanity
And so I fight to break the curse
to split the veil
to sing my verse
of honesty
to set them free!

I Feel You (Up and Down)

She said as she sat right beside him,
"You know it's a shame how we all have to go, because today I'm loving you but soon I too will be eating through a hose, chilled to the bone"
So today I'll feel you
Up and down
And hope I'll remember when the good life swings around
"Your brain will recede into cabbage left to sit baked in the sun. I'll hold your hand while you wither and I'll think about what's to be done."
With this, he turned and smiled and cried
He didn't know what to say all the time, but somehow it still felt alright
Not often that happens in life
Her study of end of life travesties kept her thinking ahead
Better get your touch now and remember all you can
So today I'll feel you
Up and down
And think of the future, run the wheel right on out
Now she's making him feel like an outcast even when they're on the phone
Funny how sometimes you think that it's all right and then you can't text anymore
Technology twisting identity away,
Let's have the discussion and make it face to face
And this aforementioned couple is just one little world divided by Blue and green walls
So today I'll feel you
Stay around
And I really will remember to save the best of times to my cloud

Coming Back Tuesday

Try and think of how to wait here,
while I am leaving slowly home
Blues are my favorite colors,
and I can always let them show
After only thirty minutes,
you'll realize you're all alone
My words they had no meaning,
you should have known, should have known
Look at my reflection,
always seems to send me slipping home
I'll be back Tuesday and be sure to let you know
Just how much I would want to knock you off your throne
Let me show you what I think of your
Indescribable antics,
and pictures by your telephone
that glow with the afterbirth
of worn and wasted long ago
Would you stop and think and wonder
Just how I feel
When carving up my image
for your Sunday satisfaction meal
Look at my reflection,
always seems to send me slipping home
I'll be back Tuesday and be sure to let you know
Just how much I would want to knock you off your throne
Let me show you what I feel
Kick myself constantly
for not getting you where it belongs
But what you deserve now,
won't be put off for very long
I'm digging seven graves,
one for each of my seven souls
And when I get back Tuesday,
they'll no longer be empty holes

I found the road I'm on
Leads nowhere
But oh, you know
Just as long as I beware, I can sing
And keep on singing true, so I...
In the silence I was dreaming still
When into my mind came a yell
Tire chain is dragging, screaming shrill
My eyes have been taken by evil
Tried to break that old rusted chain
All I did was cause more pain
Finger scraping panic in the dark
The torture has now left its mark
And in the one dog night
I can sit
For hours and when the trains roll by,
take a trip into my mind
Wonder how I'm here and where I could be going
And now, when I'm wanting sleep,
Just an hour to get some relief
I always find I got some other thing,
Some other crazy little song to sing
I got a sort of wasted mind
I need some kind of place to hide
I need a fix so I really unwind,
get this shit off my back
