Huffin and puffin
In shadow land

There’s a fish
So polite
He wears a top hat
He tucks me in at night
And there’s my long lost cat
Eyeing Mr. Fish
He’d make a tasty meal
If he weren’t shadow

And so I drift
Into the waking world
The world of work
The world where skin cells age
And teeth don’t fall out
They crumble
Slowly
And spirits still abound
They’re just not friendly

Let’s take a peek inside
This dream
Within
A dream

Why does my shadow
Tease me?
I’m running too fast
To catch it
Even when I sprint
Towards it
It’s faster
It’s light on its feet

It’s off to the races
But I stand still
It taunts from the finish
As I huff and puff
To blow the damn THING
Down
Blow it to the
Ground
But shadows
Can’t be blown
Around

Why do the clocks
Betray me?
I thought we were friends
It sits there judging
Measuring minutes
Against me
I can’t win
I’ve lost from the start

It jumps in the water
Its pace so swift
The rate of its progress
A minute for every
Minute that it ticks
And there I am
In the back

My dumb arms have forgot
What is a breastroke
Anyways?
Is it something I can talk about
At work?
See this is
Why I am behind

Why do to do lists hate me?
I dare you to say this
Five times fa-ast
When-I *do* to-do items
From to-do lists
It’s two times
Too overdue

Every time
I pull out
A mirror
The black spot
Seems to get
Bigger and bigger
And bigger and bigger
And bigger and bigger
And bigger and bigger
More loathsome

(da da da’s)
(da da da’s)
(da da da’s)
More consuming

I wonder if
I can peel it offbn
But I don’t know what I’ll find
Does the trash of my mind
Like proverbial gum
Have a seven-year date

Like when you owe something
And you don’t pay up
Shoot yourself in the
Foot
Then howl blind rage that
Knows no
Bounds
(wordless ascent F-A-C)

Let’s head back to Camelot
For it is a silly place
And I miss my kitty cat
Who only knows the shadows now

And so I drift
Into my fantasies
Where candles burn
Always
Ideals and pure things
From my life are stored
Distilled to drink
Like whiskey
And sometimes I get drunk
And I get giddy

So I’m ready to
Go back
Inside
The dream
Within
A dream
It’s off to the races

Will I ever see your face again?
Nobody told me
It was time to
Say goodbye
You take your bow
But my script goes on
Hold those curtains
I have so much left
To say
To you

Somebody block that exit
The best part’s just beginning
But you’ve vanished

Ooh ooh ooh

I built
Sand castles up
Imagined they’d stand
Forever
I never thought
You’d be the wave
To knock them down

We both had to build it

A thousand miles

Playing for keeps
Prematurely

But every breath I draw
Is one less
Moment I have left
And every breath you draw
Is one more
Moment
That I miss

You only go around this star so many times
You only get to breathe so many breaths

I know I broke the spell that day
I’ll always know
I’m sorry most that
I’ll never see
You grow
I wish that I could say all this

Look at this little seed grow
What do you think that it knows?
Nothing at all, some would say
Why even ask, it’s plain as day
It’s just a seed, it’s hardly there
Looks like a weed, I couldn’t care
What are you on about
This time he mutters
To himself

I don’t know
If it will grow
Or like the last ten seeds that were planted
The eager earth was left disenchanted

Uh oh
Hoping this one pushes through
Uh oh
May the sun never stop
Shining on shining on

Once any plant is planted
Even if it grows slanted
It’s found its place among the wild
Don’t mind me, I’ll stay awhile
True, there are oaks and redwoods here
But I can be me, And grow all year
What will I be, I feel I’m starting over
Waking up from - the longest hangover

Then the visions come in creeping
Times of pain come swiftly seeping
In
Reminders of sin
Haunted by times that are long past
Like a staticky rebroadcast
No thanks
You’ve got no place

If all you know
Is blanket forts that fell
You’ll never make one rise
And huddle in the night
To weave tales
For the fireflies

...

We ain’t gonna push up [hit harmony hard]
If all we know is history
We ain’t gonna build monuments
Of hope with quilts and stools

Uh oh
Hoping this one pushes through
Uh oh
May the sun never stop
Shining on shining on

All my creature comforts they carry me
Like little crackling fires when my soul is sick
I love the way my feet squeeze into shoes
My black high-tops
Round my ankles snug for winter

Oh talisman
Protect me
I’m feelin’ chilly
Every day
I need to know
You’re with me
When nothing else seems
To go my way

You are my thick pea coat
You are my rugged unwashed Levi’s
You are my ten minute
Hot water shower
In the morning
Oh yeah

When my Mac just works, well, at least there’s that
Since my bed is soft, well, it’s not all bad
Lush carpet and big towels, I’ve got it all
I’m so spoiled
Living larger than the kings did

Oh talisman
Protect me
I’m feelin’ warmer
But you better stay
I need to know
You’re with me
When nothing else seems

I’m giving in
To oblivion

Empty cup
Wistful sigh

I’ll probably calcify

The statue of a man
Nobody knew

Sold to art museums
Everybody wants to see me

No ears will attend

I am the wallpaper
Of mental broom closets

From the weight

Wants
Never to be achieved
The noble savage bereaved
Unquiet detente

Overdraw

You’ve only traded fantasies

Want and want
The devil is
The font
Of godliness too

The snake is
The reason you’re alive
Eating its own tail
Constructing its own jail]]>

Lyrics:

Where there’s a will, there’s a way
Though she doesn’t wanna play
All you gotta do is
Teach her right
Push her harder when she
Puts up a fight

Show her
You’re so much better than them
A sensitive soul
Seeking sex
(Did I say that?)

Your little heart breaks when
She doesn’t want to meet you
Even though you said
It was just professional

You are 
So stuck in
Your own head
And probably stuck in your bed
It’s got some dark ness
It’s got some cobwebs
It’s time you walk around
Use your mouth
Outside of these

Electronic walls
Electronic gates
That keep you in
Electronic balls
Ain’t gonna help you
All you’re gonna have are
Blue ones
Dr. Seuss can’t
Save you from
Yourself

This is your
Electronic fate

(instrumental/improv)

Just because
You’re a man
And she’s not
That don’t mean shit
We’re just people
Don’t be weird
Too late
Too late
Too late
For you]]>

It ain’t comin’ back

When I was thirteen
I
Imagined the sky
It was easy

To fly away from mundanity
Escape into my fantasy

It was easy
Enough
To draw
The wrong map

When my eyes
Weren’t looking at the paper

I’ve always liked to daydream
I think I’m not alone
It’s so fun to go fishing
In the inexhaustible pool of dreams

But here’s the catch
I can’t eat dreams
They taste like shadow
I’m meant
To go swimming

I’m sick of eating shadow
I’m sick of seeing timelines
Fly me by
I’m sick of seeing visions
Path that might have been
If I only I had drawn the map
If I only I had walked the roads

I trace lines out
And see where they diverge
It all comes back to Now
All comes back to Now
All comes back to Now
All comes back to Now

That’s where I lose the line
Amongst the grime
Of acting now

Chirp chirp
Chirp-chirp
The birds announce a new day
Every day
Hear them sing

Hear that warble
It’s time to
Snorkel]]> Days are churnin'

Born and then let free
From the tree of life

Our own paths

Some go high

We are all bound down

A terminal disease

Could it be worse?

Inescapability

Some kill you slow

Your spine
You don’t know where it went
You don’t know how you lost it
You're fearful
That you’ll never be strong

It’s so easy to
Just hide behind
That beautiful
Thirteen-inch screen
And stop yourself
From asking if
You think you can
Escape your
Doldrums

At all
You just want to be stronger

Half-asleep
As your youth is fading
You imagine the world
Moves at your leisure

As you shrink
All your hills are now mountains
Grown into Goliaths
But you’re no David anymore

You built this wall
Around yourself
And you must
Tear it down
There’s greener grass
Beyond the Stuck

You can’t do it all
Just because
You want to
You can’t will yourself
Stronger than
You are
You can’t lift 200
If you can’t
Lift 50
But someday, someday
With enough
Days at the gym

You drink
Your poison every day
Your first step is
To stop that
To not let
The normal become toxic to you

It’s so easy to
Just hide behind
That beautiful
Thirteen-inch screen

Half-awake
You still have so much time
You can still be master
Of your own time and your own mind

You built this wall
Around yourself
And you can
Tear it down
No such thing as easy change, but
First thing you gotta do
Is start taking away
And stop adding to]]>
