you and me
we both got quite some gall
of course we will feed
and what, no wherewithal
out in the great wide open
oh no, you can’t catch me
an awful clamor, you can’t say no
cause you are a marvel...
you know me
I’ve got my own trip
it’s coarse mental feed
an ode to itchy eyes
in through the out door creeping
the beast with fifteen eyes
an awful clamor, you can’t say no
cause you are a marvel
oh, woe is me
I’m in the master’s hall
what’s the worst it could be
an end for once and all
crept in while you were sleeping
oh no, you can’t catch me
an awful clamor, you can’t let go
cause you are a marvel...

inadvertent

pulling the line in tow
existing for friend and foe
burning my soul away
inadvertently...
I know I saw you there
and thought to speak upon
those things that you were counting on
I guess it makes the days go by
cause after all, we are all alone...
leading the blind astray
happens so easily
is that what you wanted to hear?
what you wanted to know you left in fear...
I saw you there and thought to speak upon
those things that you were dying from
I guess it makes the days go by
but after you fall, we will all confide...
if we’re gonna get there
we all gotta bleed sometime
if we’re gonna make it
we all gotta be there
somehow, someway
you’re gonna have to stick it out
I guess it makes the song so sweet
cause after all, we are all one mind...
leading the blind ashore
inadvertently...
I guess...

form and order

that you have form and order
it’s not self imposed the way we are...
that you have reasons; it’s not freedom
you do what you rationale, desire
cause if you had freedom like lying right here
you’d cover your eyes, you’d balk and run
don’t deny it; cause we all breathe as one
let’s deny it; and maybe we’ll seethe as one
that’s denial; well don’t we all feel as one?
don’t deny it; because we all die as one ... swallowed by time.
life without meaning; oh what’s the point?
you’d fizzle and pop and fade away
a world without order; oh what a crying shame
well say what you want, the rest is there
don’t deny it; cause we all breathe as one
let’s deny it; and maybe we’ll writhe as one
that’s denial; well don’t we all feel as one?
don’t deny it; because we all die as one ... swallowed by time.
that you have poise and honor
it’s not what you think...
it’s not how we want.

whatever you want
whatever you need
if your loving arms enfold me
I take what I can
I’ve taken all that I can stand
we reap what we sow
we’ve all got something
let it grow
cause we are what we are
whatever you want
is that what you need?
God’s loving arms enfold me
I did what I’ve done
we’ve all done something; we can’t run
I am what I am
we’ve all hurt someone
let it go
cause we are what we are
whatever you want
whatever you need
will those loving arms enfold me?
I did what I could
I’ve done about all I can stand
we reap what we sow
we’ve all got something
let it grow
cause we are what we are
whatever you want
is that what you need?

all we wanted was a show
we could never let it go
truth, cover your eyes
the lightning in the lotus
I now see:
compassion is the wisest choice...
well all you wanted was a show
I could never let it go
truth, open your eyes
the lightning in the lotus
I now seize...
om mani padme hum

same difference
05:59

how come you always say that you’re not happy with the way things happened to you?
as if you could catch life in your palms
just wringing it dry
night after night
I’m talking to you
wringing it dry
night after night...
how come I always play the same old tired song yeah day into day?
it’s all that I ever had, the strangest whim to play
well I’m playing for you
I’m ringing it true
wringing it dry
night after night...
how come you always take to flight whenever something new comes sailing your way?
it’s just like you always said, the strong ones burn away
well who’s burning for you?
who’s bringing it true?
wringing it dry
night after night?
high strung, and curious rage
I bear that stain
our hearts bound, in tandem chained
here we now remain:
it’s not getting easier with time
it’s not what you think...
(if/do you think at all?)
I must have lost my way
I looked away, now I can’t remember a damn thing...
it’s the same old tune, the same old song and dance
it’s the same old sky, we wither and die away
the things you use, the words you choose to say
these you see as different...
well I couldn’t hold that door
I can’t believe that which was speaking through me...
(lock the door) the cultured beast is a hideous freak to view
it’s the same old war, the age old bore ... today
the gods you seek, the words you choose to say
none of these are different,
they are the same...
we’re not the same
but is what we seek so different?

naïve

bumming around the house again
what could I say to you, to make you understand?
we’re waiting in lines for coins
you really should know
how could we be so goddamn naive?

clear blue eyes
harboring secrets
oh what a glorious day
out by the lake where we hide
who am I?
master or slave?
out by the railway...
little angel and me (oh my)
she’s forgotten how to cry
little baby breaks easy
something I’ll never own
so why, why do I pray
for the mystery enslaved?
how could I
hope to remain
dauntless? convey
all of that shame?
out by the freeway...
little angel and me (oh my)
I’d forgotten how to die
little baby breaks easy
something you’ll never know
so why try to explain
oh, the mystery in vain?
