I love waking up to the sound of birds talking Filled with melancholy and a swarm of yearning I am still learning how to dress properly So I keep my conscience clean and my mind a lil' ***** Life is a lullaby of sparkling objects Frantically chasing their own tails I set goals and break new records When next to nothing is still worth something The lost hours drift away but we pay them no mind For time is a funny bedfellow who never gets to sleep early The red, green and yellow merge in primary fellowship They may rule the color wheel but that was never our intention It's a carnival of quotations consummated at the station We are aspirations of contention seldom satiated By next door neighbors who speak in silent syllables Until they've filled the bill and cut you open to be examined We remain bountiful and humble as a gardener on vacation As long as love remains a jungle made for us to retire in We are trying our best and all the rest may truly be impossible And if lost continents like to drift in reticent rhythms I'm of the opinion that we have no business questioning their motives
