Spiral cleanser
Warped with spheres
Dissipates throughout the years
Earths gone missing
Down the hole
The more you see, the less you know
Out of our hands
Out of control
I rang the bell
And lost my soul
Through the chute
To parts unknown
Holding on to precious stones
So tight that they turned to coal
Where diamonds hide
And faith runs low
A design flaw
An after glow
Down into the rabbit hole
She takes and breaks
She’s cruel with fools
She conned a man
For all his jewels
She’s fascinated
And fascinating
She’s radiant, but short
She’ll never hesitate to turn you in
Or file a false report
She’s vindictive in her nature
Stares as cold as ice
She’ll only ask you once, not twice
So heed my sound advice
Don’t dance with the devil
Or you might just pay the price
I saw you dressed in tangerine
I’ve seen you dressed in white
White as that of a dove
As they’re taking flight
Towards a sky of baby blue
Over mountain peaks
Below the stars are promises
You make but never keep

I saw you dressed in tangerine
I’ve seen you wear all black
Darker than a shadows shadow
If we’re keeping track
So dark in fact, my next great act
Is to make you reappear
From the depths of the abyss
Where transparency’s quite clear
He couldn’t get a handle
He couldn’t get a grip
On any situation
That glorified a whip
He stayed quite
He stayed still
He fought hard for his free will
He then spoke up
He then advanced
He finally learned to take a stance
And now he is our mayor
He’s unhappy with his choices
He’s ashamed of his intent
Having grand illusions
With the voice inside his head
Only to reach failure
Time and time again
For things that happened past
On him, you can’t depend
He’s a master of disguises
He never plays it cool
He’s a wonder for the ages
But overall, a fool
He’s unhappy with his choices
He’s ashamed of his intent
Having grand illusions
With the voice inside his head
Only to reach failure
Time and time again
Of all the things that happened past
On him, you can’t depend
He’s self centered and he’s lazy
Lethargic, and aloof
It’s not what you want to hear
But at least he tells the truth
Except when he does not
He’s a liar and a thief
He’ll tell you what you want to hear
Without missing a beat
He’s not altogether crazy
Some of his intentions are for good
At least that’s what he tells myself
Like no one ever could
Just a puff of cloud
That was all it took
To send him into orbit
When he turned back around to look
The earth was like a marble
Like you see in all the books
But what he saw scared him pale
And left him scared and shook
