You’ve been going gray
For a couple days
Lymph and alkaline
Pray it’s just benign
It keeps running red
I’ll stay by the bed
Stamen in the rose
I can quit the prose
Send me to your centrifuge and
I Will be ground into you
Second time is overdue but
I cannot be misconstrued there’s
Time today
To delay
Winter’s here
So they say
We’re in bloom
Much too soon
But you know
I assume
Clothespin on the nose
We are predisposed
To slip in and out
Deny what we doubt
Walls of Jericho
They still fall you know
Shades down in the day
Till they go away
Back into their own damn houses
Where they recharge all their prowess
While my lenses become clouded
Thanks to the time we spent out in
Time today
To delay
Winter’s here
So they say
We’re in bloom
Much too soon
But you know
I assume

Here’s some things that we know well
Indecisiveness is one hell
Of a drug I would die for
You want my take, well what’s yours?
Foul weather friend you’re on fire
Your presence makes me perspire
Dialogue could not be drier
I don’t want to think
Just return me to cinder
Substitute sun for winter
Take your time and remember
I am an unfinished slate
There’s a cost just to stand here
It gets worse every year
All the things that I hold dear
Are up in flames now
Why do I need an opinion?
I will take my own position
Adjacent to all I care for
I will speak when I’m spoken for
Why do I need an opinion?
I will take my own position
While the house burns down to the ground
It’s snowing outside

More is less, that’s a fact of our lives
You say jump and they say that’s too high
I saw a hundred exit bags hanging from all of the signs on our street that say to me
Trust may be just a four letter word
But false positives come in large herds
You make quite a hollow point and I just can’t see what you see in what you seem to see
There’s no time for a vacation
This is what we call a statement
Anxious doesn’t begin to describe
All the feelings that we must derive
From a lodge up on a hill that’s under siege from infantry which refuse to relent
There’s no time for a vacation
This is what we call a statement
Sent down the falls in a barrel
Right up shit creek with no paddle

Emptying the car with all I thought I’d need
Middle of the night a chill in the breeze
Wait for the rest to blow in
Crawl up and out the skin
Make it to the door and knock all the snow off
My beleaguered sole till the keys they ring
Out with a sentiment that’s
Meant for somebody else
Time is an asterisk, I am a comma
Making you wait for the things you don’t need
Ribs out exposed to the elements while you
Ignore the gaze that you don’t want to meet

Back To The Ground
03:33

Lately, I've let myself go
I've been screening the calls
From my friends to my foes
Though I've been weak
For so very long
I gotta get myself
Gotta get myself
Gotta get myself back to the ground
Send me
To where I belong
I need some time to think
'Fore I bring you along
I keep my enemies
Much, much, much too close
I gotta get myself
Gotta get myself
Gotta get myself back to the ground
When you're attracted to the danger
Of tasting every flavor
Then please don't bleed yourself dry
Reality is twisted
Your mind's getting shoplifted
Is there underneath an innocent guy?

No red flags?
That’s a drag
Leave out what
You don’t have
Parrot all
That you hear
To those who
You call peers
I have heard
From a friend
That your bird
Sets the trends
They won’t know
Where to blow
When you reap
What you sow
Deal what you can
Stick to the plan
Subject yourself
To businessmen
In urban sprawl
Everyone falls
For the one trick
You can’t recall
Get yourself
Together
Check the news
Or weather
Show me just
How you deal
Cumulo-
Nimbus heel
Lightning can strike
Some people twice
Sometimes in just
One lucky night
Fire escape
Always awaits
When you cannot
Trace out the shapes
Deal what you can
Stick to the plan
Subject yourself
To businessmen
In urban sprawl
Everyone falls
For that one trick
You can’t recall
Ah ah ahhh
Ah ah ahhh
Ah ah ahhh
Ah ah ahhh
Ha ha haaa!
Ha Ha haaa!
Ha Ha Haaa
HA HA HAAA!
Velvet undergrad
You just won’t be had
Living it up just
Like you’re Galahad
Just don’t clip your wings
For some shiny things
Many thieves have be-
Come the Fisher Kings
No red flags?
That’s a drag
Leave out what
You don’t have
Parrot all
That you hear
To those who
You call peers
I have heard
From a friend
That your bird
Sets the trend
They won’t know
Where to blow
When you reap
What you sow
Scythe!

Ego

Whisk me away and
Numb all my senses
I’d wait a year just
For a consensus
Got quite a habit
Of being spineless
Sometimes we all could
Just use a pilot
It takes alot to
Deal with an ego
'Specially when I
Don’t want to be so
Hung up on things which
I do not care for
Sex with a mirror
Music for airports
Spending all of my time
Like a ragdoll
Introducing my face
To my friend wall
Anxiously awaiting what
I’ve been building
To be washed out like
milk that’s spilling
Seven different times that I’ve
Been in this state
Still I’ve yet to see just one soul
Is there a world where
Nobody breathes air
They just count backwards
Then lay themselves bare?
Never a struggle
To get your meaning
Out uncorrupted
With all the feeling
Can’t find a cause, there’s
Only the effects
Give me one chance to
Reach for the apex
It takes alot to
Deal with an ego
'Specially when I
Don’t want to be so
Gone

Millennium Brew

I’m on a search
On a search for what
What
I just can’t find in
Any pharmacy
Any pharmacy they got
It was worth a shot
And truth be told what I’m looking for
For
Isn’t on a map
It might be in me
It might be in you
In the common ground
Of our separate rooms
I’ve heard tales
That must be true
Of flipping quarks
Out of the blue
I’d like to see
What it can do
A sip of millennium brew
It makes a man never need to rest
Rest
It’s the killer of
Revelry and joy
To pursue a ghostly trail
Leaving them impaled
Envy and greed, all the seven deeds
Seen
Scrawled into the spleen
More ignored than read
Spinning round their head
Warnings spelling out
How they all will end
I’ve heard tales
That must be true
Of flipping quarks
Out of the blue
I’d like to see
What it can do
A sip of millennium brew
It takes some lives
That might be true
But what’s the harm
In just a few
I can’t quite see
What it could do
A sip of millennium brew

Me And Doctor Mike
02:16

Orange raining from the sky
Letters held by a lone spy
Ducking from the fall
Bound for Montreal
Sunset over the green hills
Devil wrapped up in details
Sending him away
For another day
Synapses spark
To become a narc
Let out that urge
And give into heart
If you want time
I can’t lend you mine
I lost it all
Searching for a sign
I see just half a face now
Hidden behind a gray cloud
I’ve heard it’s called truth
That keeps me from you
Synapses spark
To become a narc
Let out that urge
And give into heart
If you want time
I can’t lend you mine
I lost it all
Searching for a sign
Jab at both ears
To burn out those fears
Or find some joy
That lasts through the years
Jab at both ears
To burn out those fears
Or find some joy
That lasts through the years
