Welcome to the country
of mixed messages
As all you can see,
we've been this way for ages
Nothing's really free
Put your tongues in cages
Must we wait
until something explodes?
We’re still the living bodies
in the same room of silence
Avoid the gaps and the holes
Hello, stranger
I love your smile
like you do my poetry
but why look so troubled?
I was just expressing my vile
The grip of reality
slowly taking over me
away from my real hobbies
all in the name of making more money
I know I’m busy
I don’t expect you to see
all the good in me
all that I’d like to be
anything lovely.
I need this
Don’t insult yourself
by comparing you with a cat
that cannot resist
the sight of a fresh fish
right in front of it.
Will I see you
sometime in the near future?
You sound sure
You keep convincing me
your intention is true
So you want to get to know me,
but just to find any flaws to see,
before you judge as you please?
Tough luck.
I’ve read you first.
Break his spells
You might as well
Never say his name
End his game
We know what he is
She longs for peace
like the soft wind’s breeze
to help her sleep
cast off the creeps
She longs for dreams
I’m enjoying my silence as you fall
I could do the dance and amuse them all
No, I’m staying still
waiting for the news
before going in for the kill
Don’ get me wrong
I let you do as you blab on
exposing more of you
You don’t know me,
but that’s okay
