have just finished fighting a sinus infection that might have mutated into yet another antibiotic-required respiratory ailment had i not practiced the 3 magical methods to cleanse the ears, nose and throat. infection gone in 72 hours.
3 in the mornin’
everyone is still asleep
i get that warning
down the back i feel a creep
of a chill i still recognize exclusively
i look to a
darker corner of the room
there is no way
i can justify the doom
that i feel is as real as whatever’s present with me
let me show you the world as I know it
get yourself a one-way ticket to “oh god no!” it
may not be a destination of choice but know it
will bring you to wonder what “we” has gotta be
shoot a photo
of the the house I’m living in
harmless although
there’s some kind of light within
one of the rooms, in daylight with no lights on
friends with me stay
wake and ask me why they saw
me in their doorway
standing silent standing tall
when i know it’s not so and couldn’t have been
they
are the story are the mystery are the horrifying wonder
are the nightmare of a dream when you want but cannot…
we
are the story are the mystery are the horrifying wonder
are the nightmare of a dream where you want but cannot…
said but not done
this might be how we begin
some may say one
should not speak of this (and grin)
lest he curse his listener to experience the same
let me show you the world as I know it
get yourself a one-way ticket to “oh god no!” it
may not be a destination of choice but know it
will bring you to wonder what “we” has gotta be
let me show you the world as I know it
get yourself a one-way ticket to “oh god no!” it
may not be a destination of choice but know it
will bring you to wonder what “we” has gotta be
has gotta be
there are reasons you are hearing me
there’s a logic to say what this is
there are reasons you have come to this
there’s a sense to all and anything
happily not happy
friendly not friends
it’s everything or nothing now and then
justified endeavor
means to ends
not alone but here we are again
this world is good enough for your children not mine
here’s a joy forever
here’s a friend
here’s a promise that has always been
is it a beginning
that we heed
to what do we make this conclusion
all our lifetimes
suffer the human race
time-tested crimes
pleasure without a trace
how we define
this is us trying to try
what to carry
watching the world go by
like this music i too go for (the) stars
help yourself and get through anything
here’s a call to action
here’s a thread
we are what we leave and what we bring
this world is good enough for your children not mine
