They had somethin stuck down in their throat from swallowing what they were told heads always a bit to the ground never sayin their name too loud one day the light shined on planks below and all nerves gone ears half on soon changed the first window any gave creases faltered, corners raised the first impression they had made finally hands found their partner within the walls we felt a stir one day the light shined on planks below and all nerves gone ears half on soon changed the first window any gave so the day thanked patience and spurned the hard resistance the roar reached the distant boards late eyes to open to the chord and so the light shined on planks below and queries gone ears completely changed and many windows on the way

Plug me in, Initiate: I.V. Regulation. I'm goin away for a while. Drug me up some more, and slap on a perfect smile. Count off one, two, four. Cuz I keep fallin down. Yeah I'm still fallin down. Won't you come and rescue me? Tell me I'm not what I see, and I don't have to live for them? Break the glass before me eyes? Dispel that which occupies my mind, and the outside of me? There's the chime, forever ringin every few hours in this mind. How is it time again? This is where I stand, here, but not alone. Won't you cut away from me, and you can fall this time? Cuz I'm not fallin down. No I'm not fallin down. Won't you come and rescue me? Tell me I'm not what I see, and I don't have to live for them? Break the glass before me eyes? Dispel that which occupies my mind, and the outside of me?

Lava Lamps 01:50
I find myself in different constraints the walls do not dictate my ways I am what others would call my eyes avoid the other halls Different species of the owl Striated by what surrounds And I'm not saying one is wrong But our days follow different songs Different species of the owl Striated by what surrounds

You are young in years they say but, soon enough it may be your day. It's a force that can't be beat they tell me, there's nothin' you can do. We'll see. We'll see. I won't lie down that easily. No I won't lie down that easily. So many reports fly in each day from white coats and red eyes always. It's a weight that can't be held they tell me, Nothin to do but wait and see. We'll see... I won't lie down that easily. No I won't lie down that easily. I've seen two times now come and go, and I've felt more than I should know Let me rub your eyes how could it be? Time is my best friend enemy.

And I'm Off 04:20
I'm a man without a house Never found myself a spouse My only company is the occasional mouse But I walk day in and day out Yes I walk to find a river clear With no way to steer and overwhelming fear Yes I walk through the city with calamity streets With the sounds of bells and whistles And drumming heart beats Where buildings scrape the sky And trees become art But as I walk I know it's a fine place to start Because where you begin Is not where you end It's the initial friend As you wend through its ways And say goodbye to the first days Of this silly maze You've gotta get yourself out of this place And I'm off I'm in a neighboring state to confusion and illusion With a little tip for me, to head for open sea And I walk to the edge of the place of my birth To see if I can demonstrate accommodating worth With one foot in the water, I'm nautical fodder Up around the bend, was Lusitania's end And the likely possibility of drowning me But I walk freely to the heart of the wide ocean And so the wetter, better portion of my tale has begun I saw creatures of the deep, beasts from one's fantasy Monsters with seven eyes that tried to snack on me And I fought my way through the hall of tentacles and teeth And felt the ground going out from under my feet And I'm off I made it to the shore Left behind the monster's low muffled roar And I climbed up a grassy mountainside And I saw before me A sight that in my mind forever will be A river that shamed all else one could ever see I said to myself I think I'll settle here, Maybe call this place home for several years I will stay until the day when my heart turns gray And is no longer enchanted by this beautiful place
