Does anyone else feel just like a bird on a wire?
Hold the phone…. I’ve got enough on my plate to ingest.
Chin up…. Calm on the Western Front…
Dumb Luck… Amscray! The funds have been cut!
Because they told me this would happen again and again….
Big Top Tent with a Clock that’s impatient.
Slow Roast…. Hum of the Engine fades….
Burnt Toast…. Dressed up this Nomad’s on the run!
And it’s just like that I’m trapped under the weight of this world!
Black tar lines the insides, our lungs still breathing in.
Please Reject, Press Eject
What’s that over there!? So suddenly, it’s gone…
Was that what we feared!? So suddenly, we’re wrong…
Jargon Minefield
If there is hell to pay, then we will pay top dollar.
Stay steady hold in place! I’ll do the best that I can but…
It seems as if we are the dunce.
I’ve been down this road more than once.
This perfect penmanship still doesn’t spell it out.
What were we trying to say with these marbles in our mouths?
Gas up! We’ve got a long haul back!
Came running out the gates! Researched just to be erased!
This is your best shot? An unmarked calendar with all blurring dates?
What are we waiting for? Why are we waiting?
Strike while the iron’s hot!
Last Lap! Don’t leave me on the track!
We’ve been crushed by the weight of this world!
Let’s set the record straight…
Oh we never knew, I wish it were fair…
The time has come to settle up, I’ll bide my time?
I know better than wait…
This is what I’ll offer, but I never ever wanted…
And this is all I’ll have to say when I know my thoughts aren’t right.
How is my glass half filled when it was never full?

You owe it to yourself to get back up on the Rocking Horse.
It’s turning off and on and off and on.
Don’t miss your chance this time!
Howl Back!
Serpents that tend to live at the bottom of wicker baskets never seem to see the light of day anyway.
Water freezes, makes me boil!
Never once would I forget the signs of turmoil…
Get dressed, tables been set.
Come and get it!
Obsession for progression forward!
Human doormat is what they’ve been calling you behind your back.
Post Haste! About Face!
Tattle Tale! It’s just enough to say farewell to you all!
It’s almost as if I never knew myself much at all but….
Ah f-f-f-forget about what I’m saying…
A rat’s nest of troubles up ahead.
It’s turning off and on and off and on…
Missed the boat, but I’ll stand at the Pier.
Lighthouse lead me back!
Bridging the gap between what we have and what we lack.
STOP!
I don’t have a single thing!
That can’t be the truth…
But it is, I don’t have a god damn thing!
Smile thinly wavered…
Grit your teeth caper…
Generosity wagered…
No worries, I feel fine…
Something to keep in mind…
The point is if I fall will it be heard?
What makes you think it’s safe to say that I’m failing?
It’s a shot in the dark even when the bulbs to your face!
Pillow Biter screaming out loud, this is mind rape!
Call the kettle black, just don’t call back
If I fall, will it be heard? But for what worth?
Dot your Eyes and Cross your T’s.
This is how we looked on our knees.
Rest assured we aim to please.
Dumpster mouth no more, Dumpster mouth still leaving a trace…
Put on the brakes!
I’ve got a lot of fucking nerve telling me what I can’t do!
Brushed up on dialog about ourselves.
If we were something to read and write about, we’d be on the shelves.
If it’s pain you feel from what we suggest.
Then I’m sure that this will be the last time we’re going over the ropes.

Tire me out! Activate the switch!
It’s your unveiling! Cut the ribbon!
Tightrope Walker! This is your chance!
To show them that you walk the straight and narrow!
The old heave ho, just let go!
Get your grubby little fingers out from under our honeypot!
I’VE GOT IT UNDER CONTROL
Dumbed down, where did the information go?
The drone is useless, success a near miss!
Keep blowing candles till I get my wish…
It’s so quiet now…
What was that infernal noise?!
Ideals all at half-mast.
What is left?
Get off the Cross, we need the wood.
I sure wish that, that I could…
Do as your told, not as you should!
Teeter totter, sugar red.
Loddy Doddy, Fancy Schmancy.
BREAST FED
Concentration from Concentrate.
You were always number one on my charts.
Dig out, dig in and salt the earth.
We’re doing all of this by the book!
Tire me out! Activate the switch!
It’s your unveiling! Cut the ribbon!
BUY THE FARM!
