My sorrows are like sharks,
the more I drown them, the more they thrive.
Careless wishes. Floating fishes.
Fleshy tissues, on the menu.
A little bit makes a big difference.
Suited to avoid, dressed for success.
Or, rooted in the void. Naked,
and not feeling lesser for it.
A short stop from a slow start.
The right wounds fit the right heart.
The light moves and the light parts the dark.
As much as I want to,
I can blame no one for the dark.
Not even you.
The darkness comes and the darkness goes of its own accord.
But sometimes I can’t deal with it...
How can I operate ethically in a system designed to use my best intentions against me?
Subvert my base desires for love. My ambition. Expanding.
The signs of life, the signature of god, unwittingly scrawled upon a contract with the devil.
How can I use my energy effectively, when I’m in debt already?
To the future!
The Australian dream!
The funding of mash potato retirement!
Greasing the cappuccino drenched gears of the cake walking machine.
As much as I want to,
I can thank no one for the light.
Not even you.
The light comes and the light goes of its own accord.
But sometimes I can’t deal with it...
Sometimes I can’t deal with it,
Whether a trick of the light or a slight of hand,
I can't stand it.
Makes my skin itch.
Sometimes I can’t deal with
so I try to make it go away with a chemical cocktail that tastes bad and feels great
for a moment, then it's over.
Sometimes I can’t feel in this
fake skin made from a pig,
just a babe, and it feels too tight
and I can’t even right now.
We are complicit.
But if you’re looking down the line trying to find
someone to blame it’s just a game and then its over.
And if you’re trying to forgive,
well it’s better than forgetting
but requires a letting go
too difficult for most.
Give it a go.
Sometimes I can’t deal with it,
Whether a trick of the light or a slight of hand,
I can't stand it.
Makes my skin itch.
Some say you gotta kill to live.
Well, I am not naive,
but I do believe there is a difference
between murder and slaughter
and sacrifice
and overkill.
