On The Couch
03:33

I know its hard to say what you feel
But I get the feeling that this love ain’t real
It’’s a matter of convenience
A simple quirk, merely happenstance
How it came to this, I’m not aware
Once unique and now a common affair
We’ve grown apart and slightly cynical
No human touch, nothing physical
Sit down on the couch
Open up your mind, tell me all about you
Like this, you’re not meant to like this
Open up the line, show some spine
Safe place, on the level
These four walls are bound to silence
Dig deep, feel free to weep
Evacuate emotion lay it bare
What was a nuclear heat is glacial cold
When did our open posture curl up and fold
Remember when our touch was not barren void
Before our falling out that slip by Freud
Now what’s broken is in need of fix
A reboot, a reset, no more politics
Some blame the psyche but I doubt that’s true
Is it all in the mind or is it just you
He can’t get it up
She don’t give it out
I do the dishes and wash the car

These Four Walls

If these four walls could tell their tales
Of lives that loved and lost for decades
What would they say, what would they say about me?
I can’t remember who it was that said
That each night when they lay in bed
And their thoughts drift away
You can take a look at yourself
How does it feel, how does it feel?
Back in time I wondered why
I did, I said, I acted so blind
I have my excuses who’s to say they’re right?

Late Last Night

Fragments of life, a palette of memories
Scattered and fleeting, as dreamers paint dreams
Late last night I shut my eyes and something strange
Happened to my brain it seemed to be so deranged
When I sleep I see something special and when I wake
I question what’s real
Late last night I shut my eyes and something strange
Happened to my mind it seemed to reach another plane
I can’t tell what is real, and what is not
It’s not something I can explain
Late last night I shut my eyes and something strange
Happened in my head and reality is interchanged
With visions, superstition all mashed into one collision
I, I don’t know what’s real
Late last night I shut my eyes and something strange
Happened to me briefly I felt a little short changed
I was up, I was steady, and not a little ready but then something
I just can’t explain
Late last night I shut my eyes and something strange
I stood naked, blinded on a firing range
As blue petaled bullets peppered all my working limbs
I woke and questioned what’s real
Late last night I shut my eyes and something strange
Happened to some party that I tried to rearrange
Old faces, life’s graces, metaphoric databases
Is not something I can explain

Catching Raindrops

Catching raindrops on a late spring time eve
Catching tears from a season whose time has come
As the cloud bursts and life falls free
Refreshing their leaders, who took to their knee
An invitation, to aggravation, to fight subjugation
Catching raindrops under hateful, watchful eyes
Catching tears from the enemies of the state
As the cloud burst and life falls free
Fighting off this so called, security
An invitation, to aggravation, to fight subjugation
Catching raindrops to wash away disease
Catching tears from those who suffered loss
As the cloud bursts and life falls free
Giving life to those fighting hypocrisy
An invitation, to aggravation, to fight subjugation
