HOW MUCH LONGER
INSIDE OUT
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines.
But the lack thereof
Would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt
Turn it inside out
Find nothing but faith in nothing.
Want to put my tender
Heart it in a blender.
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion.
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
I burn, burn like a wicker cabinet
Chalk white and oh so frail
I see our time has gotten stale.
The tick-tock of the clock is painful.
All sane and logical
I want to tear it off the wall
I hear words and clips and phrases
I think sick like ginger ale.
My stomach turns and I exhale.
So Cal is where my mind states
But it's not my state of mind
I'm not as ugly sad as you.
Or am I origami?
Folded up and just pretend
Demented as the motives in your head.
I alone am the one you don't know you need me
Take heed feed your ego.
Make me blind when your eyes close
Sink when you get close
Tie me to the bedpost.
LEECH
Tell those stories to me
I'm dying to hear the things you've done and seen
Farfetched as they may be
You strike a smile in me
Your stories ring of perjury
Construed with self empowering theme
Suckin' on my brain
Your the teacher, I'm the student
Turning things around
Your story's not congruent
Tabloid decoys pitiful excuses
Turning things around
You're turning things around
A manic stunning scene
I'm taking notes your taking me away
Into your false reality
I know you comfort lies
In lying to try to make your life make sense
But you're not making sense
I'd say it aloud but I'm not aloud
I see your head spin round and round
Broken record talk tonight
Skip that needle back and forth on your mind
Wearing out unconvincing lies
Like a seedling dropped from an old oak tree
Your shade don't hide no sun from me
Fake stories humor me
It's graduation time
I love you like a mother
