To watch their faces change
From horror to still frame
The eggman never had the guts
But I am the Walrus
And I ate all the baby seals
Who are you?
She asked with a flirting smile
And I said I am your ghost
I am all you want to forget
And I won't let you do that
An observer is anyone
That can watch frogs
In their natural habitat
But the greatest poets picked them
Out of the water and squeezed
Someone once said to me
Pain is reality
But reality is not just pain
Because if it is
We'd all be full of shotgun holes
Insomnia is just loneliness
Reaching out across the room
To hold any ghosts that might be lingering
And the ever extending arm
Never gets closer to anything
