Visceral
I don't wait anymore
I won't spoil by the door
I won't fester and toil...not me
It's the change that I've made
From the start of the day
Putting logic away...that's me
Letting instinct lead the way
Acting years under my age
Much too easy, not so safe...that's O.K.
Former things that I've said
Tend to churn in my head
Killing most reason dead...just be
Now I go with the flow
Forget things that I know
When it hits me I go...that's me

Circular Motion
I was shamed by....
Now I know why I left it behind
Caught in this cycle
Act as if it's familiar
What this is saying
Is that I already know it
Given the background
There's only one way to go....which is forward?
Times when I may have been mistaken
Hang me out to wait and see
Cycles of circular motion
Have proved to have it in for me
It may seem weightless but it's a weight that I shoulder
It has to resurface
Just to show me I'm older.... but not wiser
Circular motion....
My choices,
Having their limit, and having their consequence
Times when I may have been mistaken
Hang me out to wait and see
Cycles of circular motion
Have proved to have it in for me

I swear I mean it
You look the same
I don't mean maybe
I wanted to be there
I'll be back soon
Maybe some Sunday
You fill the room
When your presence plays
You made your mark
And kept your face

Some Modern Rock
Say something short
And make a note of it
Find a place for it's face
But don't believe in it
Just leave us a trace
There's always space for more
Dispose and replace
The one hit wonder way
Sell something quick
And buy your way out of it
And live a long, long life
“Money makes the world go around”
There's always space for more
Dispose and replace
The one hit wonder way

She's Scared Again
There's nothing to see here
A minute of worry, an hour of wasted time
She's counting the symptoms
Lost track of the way she lost her mind
Waiting for a cure that's never coming
Sat down to contemplate for hours on end
She's scared again...
As she lies awaken
She angles the waves of moves she makes
Grown used to the pulsing
But never the swell that suffocates
Traded in the fear for exultation
A new way to minimize the obvious end
No not again... She's scared again
Let the buzz begin...
She's soaring... relief and sigh
She's soaring... relief and sigh

Negativity
I've taken my chances
I’ve taken my beating
To shatter the pattern
To shatter the feeling
I'm only as strong as my weakest link
Write it off without betting an eye
Herein lies the reason’s why I can't seem to please
Above our heads
Are these rules that apply
Living them is knowing why
It's needless to notice
It's needless to say
Or practice the premise
Or practice the theory
I'm still owned by negativity
Write it off... without batting an eye
For a piece of piece of mind, just as hard to find
Above our heads
Are these rules that apply
Living them is knowing why
Even knowing the two things I want the most right now
Things I think I'm owed somehow... I may not get

Less Than Fair

Less Than Fair
More than I wanted
What's worse is it's lacking substance
And fueling the falsehood of the need
All the media makers
Are trapped in systems that vie for eminence
Building peaks of delusion
And setting standards that outshine providence
All the movers and shakers
Led me to think I could be about anything
One can make a resolve but
They'll have to settle for something less than fair
Less than fair...
I remember an adage was spoken to me
It said "Be what you want to be"
But every piece of advice
Couldn't have prepared me for this...inflated expectancy

COME AGAIN
Cast of millions, those to choose from
Blanked from landing host to have me
Walked the flooring with my eyes to
Empty spaces, clear and deeper
Feeling up to giving into
Losing pace with, dropping behind
Then she found me, then it hit me
Eased my tensions and fears
For 18 years I sat and waited
Now it's here...to slip away
For 1000 days I thought I'd made it
......Come again?
Staring into empty spaces
All within me, I'm without one
Days are over, short but pleasing
Love to love one, love to love me
Come and going, going further
Then my grasping hands and heart now
Left in limbo, left in pieces
Started whole, but cut in half and then in eighths
Those 1000 days were worth the waiting
But come again?
I doubted the chances
But kept some faith in...to come again?
All these years I feel I've wasted
In holding the standards above the love
All alone with the last person I want to be with....me.

In My Element
In my element
See what I put in the way
Some assumptions that I've made
Will put you in position
If you refuse or maintain
What will give? I bet nothing
Greetings... I left you a place
For a pulpit or a grave
My patience wanes from day to day
I seek out something bigger
I guess that's why I tuck away
Whether you're a face
An acquaintance or mainstay
What you are has been replaced either way
Always subject to the shape I'm in
In my element it's just me and me... and one on one....
