Proudly
Find me a mask
hypocrisy is my past
I can not go forward, honest ’
with my mask in hand
I will show my brand
from now on

Flea Nation
There was a nation ruled by fleas
they couldn't stand those other fleas
they had been there first, these fleas
so they cut down the 'trees'
and made themselves the baddest fleas
armed with 'hair of the dog' they went to war
and killed and died for a small piece of that dog
too bad they only lived a year at best...
The dog couldn't have cared less.

Tautogram
Pleasing platitudes
Patter piteously
Pestering peaceful periods
Perilously perturbing
Positive patterns
Pissy!

Sound
Lost, and yet found
still here and still wound
tight, as a tight can be
can you sense my lack of reality?
I have been walking round and round
and still can not find the sound
still here and still wound
tight, as a tight can be
can you sense my lack of reality?
I have been walking round and round
and still can not find the sound

Ad Nauseam
I see my reflection
in the mirror
refracted, splintered
parts of a spectrum
ad nauseam
I need to chop down this collum
Mayhaps then I shall stop sounding like Gollum

Counting
Stupid, anal counting system
one, two, three
make sure you count them correctly
what are numbers really for?
To count the pieces of trees in my pocket
To keep track of the pieces I owe your pocket
Why do I bother keeping score?
We are spending our air at each store
one, two, three
make sure you count them correctly
what are numbers really for?
To count the pieces of trees in my pocket
To keep track of the pieces I owe your pocket
Why do I bother keeping score?
We are spending our air at each store

Marooned
Focus!
Don't let it show
No one wants to know
I don't want to know
Somebody Else's Problem
I don't have time for this
I don't have time for me
Bottle on the water
Marooned
on a calm, blue sea
Waves and brings back my see
Don't let it show
No one wants to know
I don't want to know
Somebody Else's Problem
I don't have time for this
I don't have time for me
Bottle on the water
Marooned
on a calm, blue sea
Waves and brings back my see

I forgot
I forgot
like I always do
I forgot
a second after you
I lost that time
in the labyrinth of my mind
Misplaced
so I wouldn't have to mind
Wandering now
like a drifting storm
A hurricane
of hurt and torn
that maps your face
and follows you
like I always do
I forgot
a second after you
I lost that time
in the labyrinth of my mind
Misplaced
so I wouldn't have to mind
Wandering now
like a drifting storm
A hurricane
of hurt and torn
that maps your face
and follows you

Instinct
Tell me please
what separates us really
from the birds and bees?
We are mammals by classification
Yet, one thing stands in simplification
we have reason, logic along with communication
This makes us the most dangerous animal on this planet
For we alone can reason with our instinct
Yet, most of us don't bother to think
what separates us really
from the birds and bees?
We are mammals by classification
Yet, one thing stands in simplification
we have reason, logic along with communication
This makes us the most dangerous animal on this planet
For we alone can reason with our instinct
Yet, most of us don't bother to think

Swallow
Speak to me of sorrow
of tired and tomorrow
of hope in what might follow
Trying to avert my eyes from the hollow
I stare at a beautiful swallow
of tired and tomorrow
of hope in what might follow
Trying to avert my eyes from the hollow
I stare at a beautiful swallow

Humming
As we march forward
on our separate roads
one motto springs tall
"United we stand, divided we fall."
And here we sit humming a ditty
soothing the hurt and mending the tears
the leftovers of years and years ago
I cannot tell you how so
Just that it is so
on our separate roads
one motto springs tall
"United we stand, divided we fall."
And here we sit humming a ditty
soothing the hurt and mending the tears
the leftovers of years and years ago
I cannot tell you how so
Just that it is so

Tune
Hum a little tune
to me
and you
a ditty
of love
and truth
so simple
no lies
just for a second
to me
and you
a ditty
of love
and truth
so simple
no lies
just for a second
