people been peering in
yanked out from within
neuroses been proliferating
focus seized by the blue light
be mean be mean
you get nothing returned for nice
speak truth be a creep and always presume that you're right
or be nice, you never know
how smiles might fix a life
strange chat might distract from lonely awful things tonight
focusing hard on shit
might make mushrooms grow from it
more likely it'll taint the thoughts growing inside of your mind
zoom far out you might miss
dumb things other dummies did
the word dumb means can't speak, it would be best if we ban it
I cooked, you cooked
everyone's a drooling kook
obsessing over co-dependence and practicing boredom
righteousness is its own reward
while you're lonely in misery
there's worse things than being alone
like being a phony
how great can I be?
potential does not exist
the only truth is you are all the things that you have did
I wonder if I can do it...
no you cannot do it if you haven't yet done it
blank film in a reel
how might we make use of it?
Citizen Kane got made when Welles decided to shoot it
parlez-vous francais?
je parle un peu francais
fuck doing things right or wrong, just wake up and do something
lay bricks, slice open every girl
then stack 'em up bit by bit
one year later your house is built strong on little pigs
summarize a life
save the world with one line
philosophy's a luxury of a wealthy life
feeling bad about myself
fills me up with fuckin' glee
there's more to life than comfort
that's life's little mystery
speaking up in time
never wondering what's right
mistaking human things for simplistically-defined
with the confidence of a hack
he who wins simply shouts most loud
thinking folks are often wrong
but they're rarely in doubt
obsessing about the darkness can get it invited in
these feelings may lie dormant but they're never truly dead
out in the woods demons rule the night
sun rises next morning and we screw the lid on tight
an animal an animal, that's the dumbest thing I've heard
to say a man is only good or evil is absurd
we speak words we're not sure what they mean
pound the table tip the cart in support of things obscene
point your eyes up toward hopeful sunrise
the clock is ticking now, yes, we've survived a grueling night
man inhabits man's body again
the demons have been banished until we start to obsess again

strong is the feeling against which I rebel
I know I'll still be standing still when the bell begins to move
we'll all be standing still until we start to move
we'll all be standing still when the bell begins its move
locked between long legs and locked in a cell
everybody's pitching questions nobody cares what the answers are
people committed to their cards
lots of people locked in their bets
too many people locked in their hearts
too few commit to their heads
strong are the madmen who control a man's will
eyes can't see through windows when they're fixed on the sill
stronger grows the virus - deceptively still
but driven the injection that will complete the kill

Three Rascals

destinationless wanderings
fruitless over-introspectings
poison in the brain floods forth and washes out the eyes
a moral sickness led to fever in real life
a vacant vessel fantasized about crime
sown in the dirt, a seed to grow a tree
soil potentially fertile if fed food robust and ripe
surrounded by friends and family wishing only for his growth
and happiness and calm satisfaction about life
to have pursuits and a few dollars to buy vodka
and have a decent meal under a modest roof every night
but she'd been waking up too late
running fingers through things humans hate
refusing to forgive the worst thing she ever did
behavior like a child's seems to be the way she'd always lived
she'd been telling people to fuck off and then regretting it
dysfunctional folks don't change just by stewing in it every day
plump with theory void of action never set a break
taking her own advice doesn't seem to be the nimrod's cup of tea
toddler steps one at a time can still seem too daunting
decisions all based on the truth that one day this will all be gone
a powerful looking glass still can't see through a wall
taking gray tones in stride might be the key to calm humor in life
hard fast rules might make for softer slower minds
the criminal today might be confused how things wound up this way
she was focused on good but good intentions led astray
improvement selfish then selfless and pursuit of being a good shit
telling everyone goodbye and then forgetting why
