(2006)
I have seen some Superficial people Who come out and say Exactly what they want All the time knowing
You swing on the trapeze With finesse With ease Not even the breeze Sways you
I am guilty Of wanting too much Out of life Of wanting it all Of wanting what I can’t have
Squeeze me tighter than tight Quietly seeking shelter Unlike the many nights I dreamed.… Each and every night Ending up the same way
Even when I wanted to run Straight for the hills I stayed here Taking my pills Pretending there are birds
If you could climb To the tops of the mountains Swim in water fountains What would you yell At the stars?
Drink your stupid drink Until you get sick Laying on cold tiles As dehydrated As you would be
Dashed like salt Shaken from the shaker Sprinkled as a spice What did they say? Sugar and spice?
Wondering why history repeats, rep… Into a muddled mass That just comes back Haunting us all Calculating
I still want everything To be perfect When nothing Can be perfect I keep wanting things
Lucky as you are Individuality is yours Voice your thoughts Even if only to yourself Integrity
When you think That I’m staring off into space I’m thinking About space itself How space and time interlock
Stars fall To the ground 'Round your feet Universes Collapse
The rope is thin Burning your hands As you try to climb To the top You think
Eat the pumpkin Stupid parrot Stop mocking me And calling me names I hate playing those games
