I walk around because they tell me so,

You don't understand

your the man

And Im the man and so,

I walk around with the things I know

I walk around with these things I know,

I met a girl who thinks im strange

thinks I might be crazy,

She always thinks for me

and tells me what to say,

She don't understand, I do what I can, I do what I can,

why I sit here like a drunkin' Peter Pan, 

I am a little strange,

but thats just the way they made me, 

so that's the way I am.

and the leaves that wrestle the earth 

with colors and landfill,

I demand a return to work

where as I would rather hang out with you

under the sun's bright blue sky. 

let me out of this cage, man I gotta go

the sea flows with my name on the tag

Oh....oh......oh, where is this gonna go?

no one's quite sure as to where it is 

and how it got there

but I know all that is

cause I read a book

and It said?

well, whatever it said-

I was sure it was said

so it must be true,

cause it was said and this makes no sense to you,

oh well, whats a fella to do?

try to open ones eye's

get crusified as well

it doesn't matter to you

it's all about me me me me me

I promise I do

to feel so much

to put forth everything

to have what seems like nothing

and to give all and everything

I know how it feels, I do

to think there's something wrong with you

try and try again you do

till your temp drops and your pupils swell

I know how it feels

when you spill guts and die in a pile of your own vomit

-been there

-done that

and I can't tell you how much I would never curse the same

to put back the pieces and take less aim

at the one's who push us, yeah you know their names

it doesn't seem fair....forced to play their games

so fuck it just the same,

let time take it's course and we'll see who comes out ahead,

good luck just the same.

Look at it this way, I see a porch and a chair Im sitting on. I see the world through human eye's with human understandings of the outside world. There is a fly buzzing around my head. The fly doesn't understand my perceptions of the outside world. I can't imagine what it must be like for the fly either. Can you imagine being a fly and trying to make sense of the world? Spitting in gross things in order to lick up with your long nasty tongue?I can't either, therefore you have two completely different perceptions of reality. If there are two different perceptions of the same world then there can't be just one reality, because reality is perceived. 

make the changes I need

to grow into now

and out of the seed

so here goes...

little secrets in your neighborhood

become the news to all of us

cultural differences

blame the color

blame the jobs

blame somebody

they can easily identify, or wait!

Maybe not,

because who are these terrorists?

the same as the scary communists?

as scary as a scary realistic movie?

or some off driven lost dream

speaking of which,

I had a dream and you were there

it was a moment I can't forget

as I awoke I wanted to go back

not for any lust but for mutual respect

because you were there

shared so closely between me and you

or you and I, I don't care really,

I just remember the feeling

and it felt just as good, maybe better,

Back to the grid and to unwind

wasting to much time worrying about nothing

so back to the measurement of mine

back to losing myself in this very time.

Im itchin and twichin and on a parade

watching the idiots on the idiot box-

it must hard to be on TV!

I wouldn't know, 

Im stuck behind four walls with two windows and a stupid car sitting in my drive way

you know I don't want it, never did, still don't damn it!

Chicks hatch everyday as one by one I meet and go through them

kinda hard to say what I want when it's kinda hard to stand on two feet

they love to play games

I just don't play

ain't got the time or the ambition

I guess Im on a mission

to see the stars, fancy cars, and maybe even an airplane to hire

but I can't get the freedom I need so I sit and slowly breath working like a bee-

they know their purpose

they help as much as they take

but you wouldn't know because the mind says so

the silence is deaf to you

and the mind tells you things

and tells you more things so that you know you must know!

Otherwise, why would the mind tell me so?

And then when I try to explain how people stay insane

they quickly interrupt me thanks to their stupid brains

not their fault!

No one knows any better, like getting mad at a dog because he can't learn how to roll or sit

No matter, all that is required is for them to listen

but listening is impossible 

the mind says again and again and I am told about logic, statistics, and reason

the truth as seen through one perceivers eye

so please, give me my freedom 

Im tired of the bimbo's and hobo's, Lincoln's and Volvo's, nickels and pennies

walking on cement, asphault and pride just to pass the time

I want to freely create one piece at a time, time after time!

And the dead man's bones gone,

He shall have stars at elbow and foot,

Though they sink through the sea,

They shall rise again,

Though they go mad,

They shall be sane,

Though lovers be lost,

Love shall not,

And death shall have no dominion

(Poem by Stanislaw Lem)

I will find it,

before I let it go

I will find it,

before I die

I will achieve it,

echoes reveal another side

echoes will lead us astray

the depth beneath us

will swallow us all

and we will fade away.

If your not the right one

then I know, the right one

will come

Let us pray my friends

and forgive those who hate us

forgive the one's who lead us astray

lead us into temptation

lead us farther away from the garden of Eden

we wouldn't have know

but you told me

everything I was to know 

all before the age of ten

I take the best of the worst

let it be known

I am out there

waiting to be known

waiting like so many others

hoping for the thrown

The change is in the air

If you see it then it must be

the change we needed to hear

the voice of the modern era

a voice that stays afloat

a voice that is near....
