We are or so it is said
strands of a thread that tie
us together,
one family
and if that's true
where do I tie into you?

On a different plane
where feelings are
just the same and
looking
for someone to blame,
I look inside.

There's a catch in it,
always a catch.

Match two to win and when
in the game
looking for someone
to blame
you know I'm going to
go and look inside, it's
all the same even if
It's not.

But the way that I view it is the way I get through it and any strands that tie in is a two star win for me.

We should hook up,
look up common ancestry
clinging to Darwin's tree
is tiring for me,
how about you
are you clinging on too?

Saving a spot by the apple tree
she whispers (fruitily)
'Take a bite of this'

I kiss tomorrow goodbye take one more bite and die
always wondering why
it ends like this.
