"Nebula"

"Nebula"


Disconnect and let me drift,
until my upside down is right side in.
Society must let the artist go,
to wander off into the nebula.
Upon return, I conjure what was seen.
I let it pulse and boil within my limbs.
I lay my pencil to the porous page,
and let my lunatic indulge itself.
Wander off into your nebula, see your nectarine of
multiplicity cum like orgasmatron
on overdrive!
Wander in off to your nebula, your tangerine of
electricity is ripe and on a vine, so pick your prize!
Do you enjoy your sight inside?
In little, black book do I confide!

"Neither Of Us Can See"

"Neither Of Us Can See"


I am one big walking chemical reaction
A buzzing hive of cell synapsis and nacent self perception
Isn't it disdainful and curious
That both of us think we know everything
We both have brains,
We both have eyes
(Neither of us can see)
We both have pains,
We both have lies
(Neither of us can see)
One in the same, two of a kind
And neither of us can see
I am just a blinking, neon roadside attraction
I sow future wrinkles and I'm told I'm untapped potential
Isn't it disdainful and curious
That both of us think we know everything
We both have brains,
We both have eyes
(Neither of us can see)
We both have pains,
We both have lies
(Neither of us can see)
One in the same, two of a kind
And neither of us can see
I am one big, fleeting errant contradiction
It's so good to meet you
We are one in the same
Isn't it disdainful and curious
That both of us think we know everything
We both have brains,
We both have eyes
(Neither of us can see)
We both have pains,
We both have lies
(Neither of us can see)
One in the same, two of a kind
And neither of us can see

"New Skin"

"New Skin"


At first I see an open wound
infected and disastrous
It breathes chaotic catastrophe
it cries to be renewed
Its tears are the color of anger,
they dry to form a scab
To the touch, its stiff and resilient,
underneath, the new skin breathes
As outwardly cliche as it may seem,
yes, something under the surface says,
"C'est la vie"
It is a circle, there is a plan
dead skin will atrophy itself to start again
Look closely at the open wound
see past what covers the surface
Underneath chaotic catastrophe,
creation takes stage.
Its all been saved
with exception for the right parts
When will we be new skin?
Its all been seen with exception for what could be
When will we be new skin?
Fallacious cognitions
spewed from televisions
do mold our decisions.
So stop and take a look,
and you'll see what I see now

"Nice To Know You"

"Nice To Know You"


Better than watching Gellar bending silver spoons.
Better than witnessing new born nebulaes in bloom.
She who sees from 'up-high' smiles and surely sings.
Perspective pries your once weighty eyes and it gives you wings.

I haven't felt the way I feel today
in so long it's hard for me to specify.
I'm beginning to notice how much this feels like a waking limb...
pins and needles,
nice to know you,
goodbye!

Deeper than the deepest Cousteau would ever go.
And higher than the heights of what we often think we know.
Blessed she who clearly sees the wood for the trees.
To obtain a 'bird's eye' is to turn a blizzard into a breeze.

I haven't felt the way I feel today
in so long it's hard for me to specify.
I'm beginning to notice how much this feels like a waking limb...
pins and needles,
nice to know you...
goodbye!

So could it be that it has been there all along?

"Nimble Bastard"

"Nimble Bastard"


Has it come to this?
We're stuck in the weeds
I get it, I'm not perfect, I was never trying to be
But I'm not long for this earth
If we really only ever get one chance to burn
I gotta trip before I can see the finish
How else would I learn?
I wanna know, how is it you do it?

When you land on your feet
You're a nimble bastard
And you don't skip a beat
Such a nimble bastard
Salt of the earth
Such a nimble bastard
Yeah, won't you show, lowly us
How do you see the stars from that far down?

I swing and I miss
And then come the creeps
It makes me want to faint
I wanna know, how is it you do it?
How do you spill the paint?
And then fit it into a frame?

When you land on your feet
You're a nimble bastard
And you don't skip a beat
Such a nimble bastard
Salt of the earth
Such a nimble bastard
Yeah, won't you show, lowly us
How do you see the stars from that far down?

Has it come to this?
Has it come to this?

When you land on your feet
You're a nimble bastard
And you don't skip a beat
Such a nimble bastard
Salt of the earth
Look out
Won't you show, lowly us
How do you see the stars from that far down?
You're a nimble bastard
Salt of the earth
Such a nimble bastard
Salt of the earth
You're such a nimble bastard
Yeah, won't you show, lowly us
How do you see the stars?

"No Fun"

"No Fun"


I feel like I may have been here before
All of it looks so familiar
I wanna see beyond the obvious
So show me a new constellation

Ay!
You're no fun, you're no fun
You're a song I never wanna hear again!
Ay!
You're no fun, you're no fun
You're a song I never wanna hear again!

I feel like I'm always the last to know
The king of the dunces and the idiot
But where is the bliss in all this ignorance?
Oh just show me a new constellation

Ay!
You're no fun, you're no fun
You're a song I never wanna hear again!
Ay!
You're no fun, you're no fun
You're a song I never wanna hear again!

Never again
Never again
Never again

Don't you get it?
I only want to break your spell
Don't you get it?
You're the snake that eats it's tail

Hey!
You're no fun, you're no fun
You're a song I never wanna hear again!
Hey!
You're no fun, you're no fun
You're a song I never wanna hear again!
...

"Nowhere Fast"

"Nowhere Fast"


Will I ever get to, to where it is that I am going
Will I ever follow through with what I... with what I have planned
I guess it's possible, that I have been a bit distracted
And the directions for me are a lot less in demand.
In demand.
Will I ever get to where I'm going
If I do will I know when I'm there
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah
Would I even care
I would.
I take a look around, it's evident the scene has changed.
And there are times when I feel improved, improved upon the past.
And there are times when I can't seem to understand at all.
And yes it seems as though I'm going nowhere really fucking fast.
Nowhere fast.
Will I ever get to where I'm going
If I do will I know when Im there
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah
Would I even care
I would.
I would.
I would.
Will I ever get to where I'm going
If I do, will I know when I am there
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah
Would I even care
I would.
I would.
I would.
I would.
I would.

"Oil And Water"

"Oil And Water"


You and I are like oil and water
And we've been trying, trying trying
Ohhhh, to mix it up.
We've been dancing on a volcano
And we've been crying, crying, crying
Over blackened souls.
Babe, this wouldn't be the first time,
it will not be the last time.
There is no parasol that would shelter this weather.
I been smiling with anchors on my shoulders
But I've been dying, dying, dying
Ohh, Ohh, Oh to let them go.
Babe, this wouldn't be the first time,
it will not be the last time.
There is no parasol that would shelter this weather.
Babe, this wouldn't be the first time,
it will not be the last time.
We were trying to believe that everything would get better.
We've been lying to each other
Hey! Babe! Let's just call it what it is!
Oil and Water!
Oil and Water!
Oil and Water!

"Out From Under"

"Out From Under"


To resist is to piss in the wind, anyone who does will end up smelling
Knowing this why do I defy
Cuz my inner voice is yelling
There is a fist pressing against, anyone who thinks something compelling
Our intuit we're taught to deny
And our soul we're told is for selling
Get out from under them
Resist and multiply
Get out from under precipice
And see the sky
Get out from under them
Resist, unlearn, defy
Get out from under precipice
And see the sky
To resist is to piss in the wind, anyone who does will end up smelling
Knowing this why do I defy
Cuz my inner voice is yelling
There is a fist pressing against, anyone who thinks something compelling
Our intuit we're taught to deny
And our soul we're told is for selling
Get out from under them
Resist and multiply
Get out from under precipice
And see the sky
Get out from under them
Resist, unlearn, defy
Get out from under precipice
And see the sky
See the sky (see the sky)
See the sky (see the sky)
See the sky (see the sky)
Resist and multiply (resist and multiply)
Resist and multiply
Get out from under them
Resist and multiply
Get out from under precipice
And see the sky
Get out from under them
Resist, unlearn, defy
Get out from under precipice
And see the sky
See the sky
See the sky
See the sky

"Pantomime"

"Pantomime"


In my fantasy I'm a pantomime
I'll just move my hands and everyone sees what I mean
Words are too messy
And it's way past time
To hand in my mouth
Paint my face white and try to
Reinvent the sea
One wave at a time
Speak without my voice and see the world by candlelight
I ain't afraid to let it out
I'm unafraid to take that fall
But I have found beyond all doubt
We say more by saying nothing at all
In my fantasy no such thing as time
Minutes bleed into days
Avant garde art
Show me your heresy
And I'll show you mine
We only speak in pantomimes on this carpet ride
I ain't afraid to let it out
I'm unafraid to take that fall
But I have found beyond all doubt
We say more by saying nothing at all
In my fantasy you look good entwined
In my hair and skin and spit and sweat and spilled red wine
You're my deep secret
I'm your pantomime
I'll just move my hands
I promise you'll see what I mean
