I haven’t got time to be wasting time;
More determined than ever to live this life right.
No more mistakes, no chance of letting up.
I am a rocket of burning gasoline;
Light me up and I will fly above.
My one way ticket proves there is no return,
To the man I used to be;
I have left him behind, with memories of her.


I have got to live faster, learn faster,
Learn how to become better;
More important now, than ever.
It could be forever.
I am no longer knocking on opportunities door,
I am running through the walls,
Like a wrecking ball; destiny calls.
I was smashed into oblivion,
Caught every single piece.
Rearranged it all before I hit the ground,
Then I offered you my peace.
I rearrange the words and put them out from me again.
I rewrote the script, going to make it my own way.
Get a better job that pays.
Find a better way of life somehow.
Find a woman as I am running up into the clouds.


Horizon calls so I leap into the sky.
Like a bullet train, I am moving faster than ever.
Going to find myself a way,
To find a better word – Zephyr.


I want to be amazing, so that is what I have to be.
Be good to me and I’ll keep it friendly.
Stand in my way or try to hold me back,
I’ll fold the edges of the universe and draw a new map.
Time to be through the stars immediately.
Time travel; space monkey.
Are you following me?  
Then hold on tight because I have got to zoom!

Go faster!  


Going to charge into the future,
With a trail of spoken words left in my wake.
Words that mattered then, matter now;
Why else would I say it?  For my sake?
No more holding back, open mind, open eyes,
Life is a one way track, like a train on rails,
With no stops en route;
I break!
Through the sound barrier with a sonic the hedgehog boom!
And I shake the room, into view,
Waking up statues.
Pick an expression and stick with it.
I ain’t coming back anytime soon.
Just passing through, from me to you,
I bid you adieu.


Step one, step two,
On through the thousandth step,
Like an ostrich running,
In a sun-bright morning,
I’ll burst into view and take your breath away,
I’ll pass right through; I’ll see you again someday,
Like a blur of a man that you think you recognize,
But that man ain’t me anymore;
I have disappeared…goodbye.


I have evolved constantly, in every way;
A new page, a fresh face, a new day.
Everything is getting better man.
Peace, love and empathy ain’t just going away.


I have no time to say it better,
Better, better change;
Improve the person you are.
A woman with class, intelligence, beauty
And one fine…laugh.  Ha, ha.
See I want the best that I can have
And if that means looking back at the history of me,
Then okay; I’ll find a way, maybe.
Adjust the car mirror,
I only know my freeway to loving you.
Stars in my head and the motor city in my heart,
My feet are spinning faster than anybody ever knew.


I leap over hurdles
And with a three step hop,
I am forever dodging curveballs,
With a dot, dot, dot.


I am running home,
Got to get there soon,
So put on Ok Go!
For the one moment and enjoy the show;
I ain’t got anything better to do.


I ain’t got time to make a video of science;
I’m writing word after word, after word…you should try it.
I know one day, this will all stop…

But I ain’t done all this writing yet,
So I will carry on;
‘til the break of dawn when I see my home
My eagle-eyes see her smiling,
Waiting for me,
With me;
She tells me “you have no need to be alone.”


I will raise my kids to know write from songs,
‘til I have no words left inside my head,
Until the day I forget.

I will find a way for them to see…
When love is a reality,
Life becomes a dream.

Traveling by the
speed of light just to bend time
and space I came to

cross over unknown
galaxies for reaching your fond
hex-black singularity.

Everything is so slow when I have no bridge to you… everything is the pace and longevity of the kiss I dream your lips in… but time is a reverse-caress…
I am
a wild
river in
a bed
that appears
to glow
in layers
I ply
between flashes
of rain
this cross
of loraine
that swim
in a
librarian's vein
to hurry
rocks over-read
A newness

I have come undone.


I see the Devil sat beside me in the passenger seat,
As I’m speeding down the freeway.
He is egging me on to go past one hundred
And I am liking what he is saying.


The light on the freeway, I have become;
I never wanted to be much less than I could.
I fall apart now the sun is gone;
So set me free before I become undone.


Help me, to help me, to help myself.
I need you to change me and my thoughts, so I can feel safe.
I am scared this is the road to Hell;
So won’t you please help me?  I need to be saved.


The fires burn in front of me and I drive towards them at speed;
Give me all I want and I shall do as you please.
Heading into the future, a ball of flames;
The world comes crashing down upon me
And I am tomorrow and yesterday.


I am all things in an instant and timeless without a soul;
I am gone to forever with the Devil and so,
I am here and I am there; I am split in two.
I have left your world of pain behind me
And now I sink into the depths of sorrow.


I am sat inside this hole, looking up
And dreaming of once more feeling the sun’s rays upon my face.
Living in Hell all my life, I chose this life and the drugs,
Because that was the only way I could face this world
And face another day.


I am broken by any means and my existence in meaningless;
I am a mess, I am disintegrating and I am hopeless.
I am nothing and all things destroyed by a dark world;
I am gone to never be remembered
And now I am forgotten and nameless.

Speed is relative.
I have begun to lose myself.
Everyday seems slower, the faster I go.
I punch the gas pedal and feel nothing.
I'm not after a rush, but the null is so strong.

Lately, I have felt more alone than ever.
A circle of love, holds me in high regard.
And yet, they seem so far out on the fringe.
This real me, in this real world is hollow.
Beneath in dark shadows, deep in the core,
Is a detached, dissociated self, I pity him.

Nights have become restless.
I lay awake, tossing and turning,
Ever out of reach of a rejuvenating slumber.
Sleep is dreamless, which is hell.
Even nightmares offer some insight,
A certain clarity of clairvoyance.

Perhaps, as I strongly feel, change is coming.

controlling the speed is the key
not too fast or there will be a crash
an accident with broken heart..
nor too slow or nothing will move forward
no one likes traffic jams- that weird waiting part

she would need that, wouldn't she?
to slow down
I never slow down
when I ski,
I don't turn
I rocket down the slopes
snow trailing in the frozen air behind me
cold fear in my heart
as I pick up speed
but I don't slow down
I never slow down
I like to live fast
hard
in the moment
one punch after another
breathe breathe breathe
**** air into my lungs until it hurts and
leaves no room for second guessing
for anxiety to creep in
I run to keep up with life
feet pounding on the pavement
mimicking my heartbeat
and I don't slow down
I never slow down
I'm not so good at continued commitments
I'd rather just do everything all at once
hours of work
I could have easily done gradually
crammed all at once
and I don't think before I speak
I say what's on my mind
though I often regret it
and I don't slow down
I never slow down
because if I slowed down
then life
would catch up
