And So We Say

the pace of this movie,
is like amputations on the kitchen table

the way the song is sang
is like nails on chalkboards, made of styrofoam

is it pleasant to be alive?
no and yes are both acceptable answers,
but what questions can you easily say both to,
without being scorned?

the waves of the ocean,
are crashing in like a car crash, without any drivers or passengers

the way we stay alive when we should have been gone and long forgotten
make us all ask questions

is the world really all that round?
is it the air we breathe in today?
and such things are uncontrollable, when we say
no or yes

the birds are singing loudly
without vocal chords, or even tonsils, just for us

make us up out of your minds being if you can
and so we say, you can't
and so we say, you never will
and so we say, you are not even real

this is contortion, confusion, and a senseless mind of being
without being in the kind of mind for this kind of being
your wrist is plagued by the mannequins starring you down
as they once said
we are not fallen, we are not falling, we are everything you wished
without the courtesy of being dead

Forge Your World

its this abysmal bliss taking over
its this arsenal I'm building up of you
you will carry us through every word we say
every single catch phrase we will need to get through the day

my bleeding heart has been waiting for your reach
but as I hold my hand out you hesitate to think it is mine
as the world I once had has been dead, all the people there are still dying
but in monotone, I can say I am still trying

lean over, you are the world I have created
sit down, you are the world I have painted
believe me, you are the world to me
if only you weren't blind you would be able to see

if the sun is too bright I can dim it down,
if your pockets aren't full enough, I can fill them up
if you say I am falling apart, I can make myself full again;
but I only want you to fill me up with your love again

when the moon waits for us to see it
we must open our tired eyes
sometimes the hardest thing too do is look
but its always been the best opportunities I ever took
