Conveyor

We are all on the giant conveyor
Standing still but steadily being propelled
To the hellfire of our comfortable inaction
It takes only one step, from rubber to grass

To be liberated from the fear and illusion of change

True North

Is there a star that shines brightest for you
When you peer up into the vast darkness
Trying to remember where you are going
Or to forget what you have left behind

And will you follow your star or gaze from afar

Domestic Portal

It's very safe and cozy in here
Maybe I can hang a few pictures
Of jungles, mountains and rapids
Grand horizons and tropical landscapes

As a reminder or as an incentive I'm not sure

First Dance

When we do that dance
Where the woman prances and the man persues
You and I know that we are stretching the truth
From a pursuit that only took a few seconds

Into a dance that has yet to end

Heart Pounding

You just keep beatin at it honey
Hands bleeding all over the place
And the wall between us still stands
I'm not saying you shouldn't keep fighting

But those fists aint doin' nothing to this wall until they heal up

Black Magic

Sometimes the things people say in anger
Are the things they don't really mean
And sometimes those things
Are what they mean the most

Set fire to cordiality and look for either smoke or mirrors

Possession

You don't like me
When you see me apart from you
All you tell yourself is I am apart from you
And that scares you ever so much

To think that I wasn't put on this earth for you

Cold Feet

You are dangerous
I can only handle you
On rainy days, when I need you most
When your fragrance is subdued by the storm

But we both know if we stay out here we'll catch cold

Science

We were all swirling
In his mighty cauldron
Bumping and spinning to his delight
When one of us heard his laughter

And to his shock and perhaps dismay we laughed back

Purpose Full

I've eaten out of happiness
And many times out of sadness
Happiness and sadness are such lazy feelings
You can only bask or dwell in them

How nourished I would be to dine with determination
