So maybe you could do with a break You've had about all you can take You need to find somewhere you can run to Somewhere a long way from here Somewhere where the skies are all clear Somewhere you can think all your thoughts through It took a long time to make me understand You gotta meet life and shake it by the hand You gotta use your emotion You talk a nice line to put your mind at ease You want to sit back and count your memories But that's no solution I don't want to harp about it But what you gonna do about it Look at how you're set in your ways You used to be so willing to face Any find of problem before you Life is not as long as you think Open up your mind and you'll see Don't destroy yourself I implore you You've got a fine wife, a perfect family You had it all planned to live so carefully But where does it get you They say the mind is an awful thing to waste And that's a fact that you must come to face What more can I tell you I don't want to harp about it But what you gonna do about it You have everything you that need You only have to try to succeed And realize it's all waiting for you Living life this way is a bust If you have to suffer you must Don't you know we want to applaud you

Seal the door (of which only one lock works) What is expected of me now... who knows With tacks stuck in toes Debating on what's likable But certainly this isn't home Certainly not It's not so funny Skipping breath, inhaling rope It's always just when I need to see That the lights flicker and short out on me Rootless over-thinkers in the mirror One after the other after one after the other Taking turns in my behavior Taking their turns in my behavior It's not so funny Skipping breath, exhaling rope It's always just when I need to see That the lights flicker and short out on me I am the best at seeing things When the captive worms in the tin are freed But begin to lose sight one again When the dust is finished settling And my friends in this room are weakening With their penchant for conditioning And their dispositions on a swing From the toxins and distracting means Just when I need to see, the lights flicker Flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker It's not so funny, skipping breath Inhaling and exhaling rope Just when I need to see The lights flicker and short out on me It's not so funny, it really is such an awful fall

In this space so infinite A sea of milk we float like wood As we wait, rescue me Bring me home, give me peace If i let you off Would you leave for good? I hope not As we lose our bodies fold A subtle change until we're cold As we wait, rescue me Bring me home, give me peace If i let you off Would you leave for good? I hope not Do you see neglect in me? I feel the storm, an old fury As we wait, rescue me Bring me home, give me peace If i let you off Would you leave for good? Would you take your time Or run like hell? Would you know my name? Would you sink or swim? If i let you off Would you leave for good? I hope not

In my mouth there is a hurricane Just let it out On the radio a bunch of fakes Just shut them down Hum along And regret it Cause you alone Would get it God don't make the laws When I get bored I use novocaine To numb the sound I'm the sixth spice, the heavyweight I bring the frowns Hum along And regret it Cause you alone Would get it God don't make the laws I'm the heavyweight And I don't know why I got the sixth sense To make the girls cry How unamerican How unamerican To leave em fainting Waiting for a breath

Miracles masked to mend The literal for illiterates In shady towns People forget A union wage That extra tear We overpaid And disappeared Without a trace Into the voids And we hope that someday We'll awaken in our garden To the sound of a new parade They celebrate The coming years Until that one That we fear It's all numerals And zeros And we hope that someday We'll awaken in our garden To the sound of a new parade And we hope that someday We'll awaken in our garden Push off that war we waged We'll awaken in our garden To the sound of a new parade

Sometimes i cry murder At the top of my lungs Often when i smile Mischief runs wild And you're right It's my fear Well it's my fear Of making sense Frequently i question The virtue of man Always at high tide The burden, the sinking of plans And you're right It's my fear Well it's my fear Of making sense And i'm done I'm just pink In the middle At the stake

At the opportune moment I swoop down, swing, swing, i missed her Now it's out into the open I call her, ring, ring, she's not there At the opportune moment She tells me, fling, fling, "i kissed him!" Now it's out into the open I go out drink drinks i can't stay in It's not like her To make me feel guilty To reduce me to nothing At the opportune moment I remind her faith what she has lost Now it's out into the open I feel like a weight has just beeen dropped It's not like her To make me feel guilty To reduce me to nothing But it's my life, it's my life

This new invasion In conversation It leaves me waiting Spoken like a rat That's the brilliance of the bureaucrat You're tempting me to be The modern log In times of crisis The modern log With every issue Break out those tissues I really miss you Spoken like a rat Lets give praise to the implants You're tempting me to be The modern log In times of crisis The modern log Opportune Moment
