LIFE ON THE MOON
happiness, soul mates sold
in Sunday’s best on a billboard
where greens are brown, water like plastic
food like soap, bodies anorexic
birds in a cage afraid to feel
we’re told it’s all good, we’re told its all real
what if the moon’s the only thing in this world that’s real
let’s climb up a ladder, let’s get outta here
we’ll run it all, without borders or countries
won’t take the fall, we’ll be sworn to what’s true
cuz if its up to only me and you
to build and to shine, we’ll start a new life on the moon
remember looking up amazed by the stars
remember realizing how small we really are
remember what it’s like to touch and think only of me
to feel the present so very deeply
what if the moon’s the only thing in this world that’s real
let’s climb up a ladder, let’s get outta here
we’ll run it all, without borders or countries
won’t take the fall, we’ll be sworn to what’s true
cuz if its up to only me and you
to build and to shine, we’ll start a new life on the moon

Incite Riot

did I imagine you, my friend?
always a chance i did
traveled to a different plane
in one conversation
tension in the air so thick
can barely find my voice in it
a minute lasts for a day
all my sense gone completely astray
oh, you’re quite a kindred spirit
you incite my riot
with your fires and overturned cars
you’re the crime I yearn for
now I run from the scene
angry crowd chasing me
getaway car down the street
where you patiently waiting
oh, you’re quite a kindred spirit
you incite my riot
with your fires and overturned cars
you’re the crime I yearn for
I yearn for

Awake

my body tingles with inertia
I’m still in bed, blank slate in my head
used to put it on paper to get it off my chest
but I’m only sleeping, not even dreaming
Shake me awake
I want to give I am ready to take
Shake me awake
before it’s too late
I worked sleepwalking like a robot
society made me exhausted from apathy
so I crawled into a cave where I found comfort
I’m done with hibernation nowI need some stimulation
Shake me awake
I want to give I am ready to take
Shake me awake
before it’s too late
I’m growing impatient
feel like I’m already ancient
Shake me awake
I want to give I’m ready to take
Shake me awake
before it’s too late
don’t let it get too late
