This nurturing is baking up an ego pie
No best interest- just looking for company
Now it’s tainting sweet letters that I’ve been writing me
So blame it on humidity
'Cause in the fucking city you can’t feel the breeze
Nothing to do but adorn oneself
Looking to matter like everybody else
So can-
Can you tell me?
Where-
This is going?
'Cause we're getting nowhere
We’re-
Running running
Searching searching
Looking for life
Been a long time coming
Got the chance at being something
Not sure who I am
Not sure what’s just been coping
Been a long time coming
Got the chance at making something
Choose love over fear
This cardboard forest exchanging toxic oxygen
Is it possible to make this trivial again?
Convinced ourselves that fluorescence is reality
Convenience stole the best parts of me
It’s go, go, go, and caring ‘bout petty things
Never playing and hardly enjoying anything
Running, running
Searching, searching
Looking for life
Been a long time coming
Got the chance at being something
Not sure who I am
Not sure what’s just been coping
Been a long time coming
Got the chance at making something
Choose love over fear

If I pace, if I hide, would you shut up inside?
You know I've covered by ears and I've plugged up my eyes
But the energy -
It feels so stuffy
Solitude is getting hungry
It's gnawing at me, calling for me
Puppeteering tense sensory now
Well put me in a black room-
Make me happy
So I can finally breathe
(Yeah) Put me in a black room-
Make me happy
So I can finally breathe
Are you coming or are you going?
I wanna know if I should stay
I've got a lot of things to practice-
But I can't seem to find the space
Like a bundled-up child I should feel warm
But this pulling at my collar I just can't ignore
Steam will rise
The planets re-align
And one day I'll feel alright
Put me in a black room baby
Makes me feel good when I’m breathing
Put me in a black room
Make me happy
Put me in a black room baby
Makes me happy when I’m breathing

Feel your breath- the back of my neck
My hairs, they stand, just to salute you
Switch my thoughts (to) the remains of this
Plumb-
I know you know that I’m aware of your presence
Although unannounced…
I can feel your reminiscent waves
I’m not ready to call your bluff but-
How long have you even known me?
'Cause you have put your claim on me
And I’ll admit that it is exciting
So here we are
A couple of freaks can be happy too
It started with your pierce, resulted in abyss
Your oxygen recycled through me
I’m feeling like a hoarder now
'Cause I’m wanting more before it’s empty
In the corner of my mind all day…
My smiles Secret
'Cause they would envy-
This starving skin cocooning me
Yeah you have put your claim on me
And I’ll admit that it is exciting
So here we are
A couple of freaks can be happy too
In the corner of my mind all day-
My Smile’s Secret
In the corner of my mind all day I keep my smile’s Secret
How does this happen to me?
Stemming from boredom imploding reality
It’s not something (that) I can break from
When my body’s conducting electricity.
Yeah it’s a secret that you have me -
And it’s true that I don’t want free…
I let you put your claim on me

It’s gonna stick around
Until we talk about it
I’m gonna feel it hard
Until I can get around it
You’ve got me feeling like I’m crazy
Or maybe I’m naggy-
'Cause I wanna spend some time with you
But you’re making it hard
Putting up a brick wall
How can I get ‘round your mote?
Been talking to myself
Wondering what’s my role
And I have found that-
I’m the heart you wear on your sleeve
And the surface is starting to get piley
I’ve tried to think of 20 questions-
To get you to open up to me
I open my door there you are-
Long lashes looking down
Move on without a greeting
Yeah this is every morning
See words are my love language
But you keep talking to me with deeds
So I don’t know what you are feeling
And the silence-
It bothers me
Poetry
That was presented to me
So now I’ve got expectations
And they’re not being met but I don’t plan to change them
Yeah you could call me insecure
'Cause I always need to be reassured
But when it seems like you’ve been gone for days
And when I start to questions things-
I wonder do you blame me?
Tunnel vision when I call your name but we’re staring at separate planes
I’ve got a vision of what I want but you don’t get lost in me
Am I convinced there’ll be a day
When times slows down I’ll see your face
And you’ll look at me in that old way
Say things no words could say
Yet I remain part of your sleeve
Roxanning lines you’ll speak to me
I’m growing tired of my company
Would telepathy even remedy?
Maybe it’s old fears
That make me analyse
Everytime that I am filled with joy an old saying will come to mind
They say that love is blind
Tunnel vision when I call your name but we’re staring at separate planes
I’ve got a vision of what I want but you don’t get lost in me
You are my sweetheart
So I’ll wait for you to look up
You are my sweetheart
So I’ll wait, I’ll wait

Naturally it comes for some
I guess I’m the only one
When will you talk to me?
I can’t help but wonder how long it’s been since I-
Sat down with a smile
Oh smile for a little while with me
Calm, nonchalantly-
Looking around for anyone who’s unhappy
Wishing time would deliver me from the cheap personas
That are growing rapidly
Bend over so I can kiss your cheek
I’d rather see two footprints in the sand-
Trailing behind me
No not ahead or right beside me
Sin together
'Cause two wrongs always feel much better
Calm, nonchalantly-
Looking around for anyone who’s unhappy
Wishing time would deliver me from the cheap personas
That are growing rapidly
Naturally it comes for some
I guess I’m the only one

People cry out, trying to get your faith
Better watch out, or they’ll find a way
They’ve got my number, they’re calling me up
They’ve got my picture, they’re hanging me up
I am their project and they won’t stop until
They’ve got pearls on me - well
Who (are) you gonna save me from?
You?
Who you gonna save me from?
You?
Who you gonna save me from?
You?
'Cause you’re the one trying to warp my mind.
You never asked me ‘bout my insight
You only gather criteria to judge
Scraping your finger at those around you
Can only guess that your insides are as warm
As the chill of your smile
Got cataracts in your eye
Can’t you hear what you’ve been reading?
Who you gonna save me from?
You?
(3x)
'Cause you’re the one trying to warp my mind.
They’ve got my number
They’ve got my number
(Oh) can’t you hear what you’ve been reading?

In a time divided by space
We sat and watched the day
Nothing was ever coming
Nothing was ever going-
When we ruled the world
Plenty of fish were swimming but none were ever given-
The type of power that we were
I wanna call you home
Where nothing else matters
I wanna call you home
We’ll make nothing matter
Blue was in
And we listened to the waves
And the glitter fell from the dome above
It glistened in the sunrays
I wanna call you home
I wanna make this place my home
I wanna call you home
I wanna make this place my home

Your dilated eyes should have served me as a warning
(That) the hitchhiker inside was settling in
I planted a cedar tree with hopes to keep you grounded
But the better part of you was tied up in the back seat
Who do I want to nourish?
Well that's subjective to the moon
These roots are close enough to keep you healthy
It’s hard to face the truth when the liars also you
Don’t wanna run against the current when the sun in shining
I’ll never get used to living in a winding mind
I should've known it wouldn't be too long after declarations made
That you’d grow weary and back into your shell
Who do I want to nourish?
The essence of your being
Hoping with each time you’ll grow stronger
It’s a tough pill to swallow-
Knowing that you’ve got to build tomorrow
(But) when you’re up against that cloud of crop dust-
Know the wind can move through you
Move through you
It’s hard to face the truth when the liars also you
Don’t wanna run against the current when the sun in shining
I’ll never get used to living in a winding mind

Why am I waiting, vainly kissing at your feet?
The stars are shouting that it's right in front of me
A hollow trumpet stumbling about the street
Hands cupped around the beat, all along
Give me something
Tell me something
Show me something
Make me feel something inside, inside, ooh inside, inside
Give me something
Tell me something
Show me something
Inside, inside, inside, inside
I'm looking for a sign
But not just any one
Maybe a fallen tree or purple mushrooms on my ceiling
I'm walking weedy paths, you'll hear me breaking branches
Looking up at the sky
A hazy shade of living
Give me something
Tell me something
Show me something
Make me feel something inside, inside, ooh inside, inside
Give me something
Tell me something
Show me something
Inside, inside, inside, inside
Waiting for ideal circumstances
Certain criteria before blossoms happen
You've been looking up and down and I've heard that you've asked around
Is it real?
I know
Is it real?
I know that you must look inside yourself
'Cause you forgot just who you are
And the truth feels so very far
But if you listen
You'll hear
If you listen
You’ll hear
Your voice is real

My heart beats still
Nothing can thrill
The waters inside me lukewarm
'Cause I’ve waiting for everything
But now I want nothing at all
Just to be, just to be, just to be
I’ve painted skies
But nothing’s quite like in my mind
I know now that moments are quite pale
Painted skies are in my mind
Yeah painted skies are in my mind
Painted skies are in my mind
Yeah painted skies are in my mind
Finding that the skies are pale
I’m finding that the skies are pale
Finding that the skies are pale
I’m finding that the skies are pale
