you

sleep waits
waxing poetic
in time to black
birds fly away
can i just say
im a lucky duck
i feel unstuck
stop passing
the buck
from hand to hand
rise and stand
to work the dream
american
its okay every
now and then
to believe
we can
make it right
believe we
have reason
to fight
dont say a word
you know its absurd
be a good boy
play with your toy
just fall in line
it will be better in time
do you write the rhymes
inside of my mind
no you create
the impetus
for me to discuss
the things you make
me feel and take
the growing pains
lifes stains
rising to meet
the brand new day
raising the heat
in every way
you make me feel
things surreal
and take the pain
wash it away
in your gentle touch
the feeling's too much
for one body to bear
i know you can
take me there
i know you know
exactly where
we go in the spin
theres no state
that youre in
and we are between
the dirty and the clean
we walk the line
between nature
and machine
we may ride
we may drive
on this swirling
whirling
carousel world
and then theres
this amazing girl
and i rise above
rise high above
but i believe
its more than love
im fallin asleep
but i cant see
the dream seeds
just all the "i need"s
from my day to day
from my dollar to pay
for the water i drink
or i put in my car
theres a skeleton
beneath my skin
beaneath all sense of sin
but it is mortal
bones and dust
whether it bones
or metal to rust
whether we believe
we are soul
or worm food
it would be too soon
to say the pain disappears
how do i quell my fears
36 hrs is worth
all the drive
getting burned
was somehow fine
i know theres no tv
we dont need to see
all the things that
keep us down
the nonsensical
way we hang around
laying on a spatial
infinite floor
wondering how
to open that door
and dont you know
this is just the flow
from mind to fingers
i type the words
that bring my world
in time with my love
for this girl
smiles are bright
the moon waxes
in the night
tide comes in
and back again
waiting for the moon
waiting in the tomb
it cannot come too soon
i rock you all night long
a little lullabye
but strong
i miss you in my sleep
and on my mind i keep
you
