Heedless of the web hanging from every corner,
I ventured into your space.
Oblivious me
Again I dangle from your weave
You always find a way to wrap me
in your promises so tightly
Oblivious me
I believed your invite
to be something I trusted
R.I.P. to the fools
who came to visit you so blindly
I see you hang their carcass like a trophy
from that thirsty tongue so proudly
Constrained in your devotion
The lechery scene of their bodies
You leave them suspended from a straight-jacket cobweb
As you drink from their seductive flesh
R.I.P. to the pests of your future meals
I sigh in disappointment to your habit
As I escape disheartened by the damage
For the docile creature I had once seen
Has lost all dignity and rationality
Oblivious me
I can no longer present myself to your attendance
The truth is now bestowed upon thee
and I've accepted the let down to your betterment

Place your bets
Monogamy is dead
We must wager the people who
We've groomed to love us
After all, we've invested some time in
preparing them for this race
And my money is placed in the
uncertain outcome
My love is divided equally among them
But I've got my eye on the newest horse
to pick up the pace

Place your bets
Love is dead
I've pledged my attention to them
Until they no longer look like a good bet
And I retire my loyal horse
I forfeit it's outcome
After all, love is a competition for me
And I will continue to stake my money
on the newest horse to gamble

Hello poetry
Hello hello
You got me feeling quite at ease
Quite mellow mellow
Hello noble tree
Hello hello
Your branches have grown flowers I see
Their bright yellow yellow
Hello there destiny
Hello hello
I see you're moving hastily
Towards better things we go.

I can't wait to once again enjoy the indulgence of my appetite
I can't wait to smile across the red wine glass
as I enjoy the sound of soft romantic jazz
With a love that smiles just for me
With a love that reciprocates in harmony
But until then, my thoughts, my dreams,
they starve away with the thought of it
For me one day

You can't throw skin on a wound,
You should patiently wait for it to heal.
But when you're impatient and desperate
you will find anything to cover it with.
And that's the sad thing about loving another being too soon.
They're not the scar you wait for,
They're just the band-aid.

Do you daydream in color
Cause I do
Do you find that your daydreams are better off
without a color or two  
Would your visions and dreams look better without black or white
Do you find it easier to separate one another without a fight
Do you judge based on race
Do you see beauty in just the face
As we walk in our outer shells
protecting our loving hearts
We should admire the outer skin
The skin that sculpts us into our parts
When the world feels darkness
in all this light
When history repeats itself out of spite
Then we must come together
We must all unite

When you find the kind of love that makes your heart
drop to your stomach
When you feel that person
starting to drift away
It's like the body
trying to get rid of the toxin
And your heart begins to rot in just a day
It sits heavy with dour by the hour
It takes up the room of all your meals
It sleeps in slumber in your stomach
How do you feel, now that it's real, now that it's real
When you find the kind of person that brings you sadness
When you feel that person
starting to play games
It's like they knew the sport,
they knew they had this
And your heart begins to
question all the names
How do you deal, now that it's real,
now that it's real
