Out the Door

Bored of lies
he despised
talk of self
but he
Wouldn't mind
passing time
in her
Nothing lasts
so talk of pasts
seemed
absurdity
words don't mean
but the thing
that you heard
the expectation
killed all exhilaration
the only way out
was pure imagination
Oh I have two
legs they're made for walking
sometimes
I get tired of talking
rangling and jangling
wriggling his knees
Bounding down the street he went
following the leaves
Oh sweet wind at my back
carry me along
I'm going this way too
You can carry me till dawn
My legs they shake
so pick me up in your hands
oh sweet wind at my back
you're the only one that understands
you keep on moving
Moving always pressing on ahead
if you're not moving
You're dead
and as the trees passed
he felt like he was floating
Wondering where he was
wondering where he was going

Oh I knew
this old tune
heard it many a time
under a full moon
When you're old
and on your own
wanderings hows ya
got so alone
A man can get down on hisself
and then you hear the dogs calling
howling at that old moon
make a man feel something n he a start bawling
Singing, screaming Jesus help us
somebody help us but
don't you know
the only one comings a dirty old mutt
Don't you think? Don't you see?
It's all just you & me
Out in the wind, out with the bins
You and that poor little doggy
but don't be scared
there's nothing there...

Wander towards Reality

When you're walking alone
back the way that you came
Your thoughts drift to home
yes it invades the brain
He said she said everybody said something
and they weren't even listening to the things being said
In her head in your head everyone was bluffing
But you can't leave by yourself even if you think you did
Oh just keep on moping
Oh what were you really hoping
Someone is hearing
something your saying
Everybody knows
and everybodys praying
Don't think don't don't
Don't don't think too much
I don't I don't
I don't know-no I don't know-no
I don't I don't
I don't know-no I don't know
I know that you think
you're made of sweet things
but I've seen your insides
and they look like mine
The breaths come quick and the breaths come slow
and the breath gets sick and well then don't you know
You're bleeding on the ground
You're bleeding on the ground
Your blood is all around
blood is all around
You're bleeding out
If you're gonna make me bleed
I'd like to see some blood
Do you really think we want to listen to what you say
You don't really think we wanna think about you all day
Do you ever hear the people? they are talking to you
Don't you ever think that everybody think likes you do
I know they they do
I know you do
And we try
to deny
the wondering why
the wondering why
But you'll never know
And you'll never go
You'll stay right where you are
so don't think so hard

Reassimilation

You know what to do
When you know you cannot beat'em
Back to the door that once was
your only hope of freedom
Needed courage walk thru it
Well now you really need some
The outside inside
The inside out
The outside inside
Can get it out
conspicuous ruses
mild aggravations
Fill in the blanks
of your conversations
Don't back up when you have
come this far with me
You need not lie for my sake
if you're unhappy
So he promised himself
he'd be back here soon
Out in the arms of the wind
with the trees & the leaves & the moon
But now the wind did not feel
Quite as friendly, no
And all his thoughts came rushing
with him straight towards home
He would have to say something
But his brain screamed nothing nothing
Guess it's goodbye, old friend
But I'll come back someday again
A creak and the door is open
Solitarily hoped and hoping
It'd be quick but the blood is curdled
voices thundering into this world
brain tries its problem solving
feel as your minds dissolving
now succumbing
there's no running
What are you becoming?
