When up is down, left twists into right Green burns brown, day becomes night. I'm walking on the ceiling confused by everything. Feeling that I am unfeeling as I don't know anything.

Logic Flips

When up is down, left twists into right Green burns brown, day becomes night. I'm walking on the ceiling confused by everything. Feeling that I am unfeeling as I don't know anything.

Applause to this object A star to look up,— But stands lower than a house Who gathered all the fantasies— of hopeless travellers,— Which seek for devoted fancies. Sparkling garlands,— Simply, a life of itch Flashlights everywhere on the platform,— Inutile to its basis I memorize the trades of their toasts— One day, I shall have my own boast. After wiping spots on gold bars,— I am still not a debauchee of love; Even if they buzz,— Beehives— Are not mine to offer,— But a gourmet to their stomach. Assets clothing their merchants— Reserving the furnitures— To show the best features For myself, I want a slammed window,— Not some firm statues "Galatea, we all desire Galatea!" How adorable when 'twas knotted, Lovely, but not loved, Sheltered, yet not protected; Paid, but not proclaimed How many landlords will adapt me? There is a target— To a sudden stampede— Oh, how startling! Please, capture me I will submit to your traps! This bird is willing to be caged— Away! I may now have my arrows— To run the bay! Flipped death is my reward..

Home is where the heart is? No, the home is for the brain. Cause when I'm out in the streets, Then I can dance in the rain. If I'm trapped in my house, Then I will go insane. ***** waiting for the storm to pass, Slowly trickling down the drain. Having a friend is a pain in the *** When there's nothing to gain. Stopped dead in my tracks, out of gas, And I'm in the wrong lane. I've been feeling that to the max, Day after day, But why wait for the storm to pass, When you can dance in the rain.

Dance In The Rain

Home is where the heart is? No, the home is for the brain. Cause when I'm out in the streets, Then I can dance in the rain. If I'm trapped in my house, Then I will go insane. ***** waiting for the storm to pass, Slowly trickling down the drain. Having a friend is a pain in the *** When there's nothing to gain. Stopped dead in my tracks, out of gas, And I'm in the wrong lane. I've been feeling that to the max, Day after day, But why wait for the storm to pass, When you can dance in the rain.

I once was found But now I am lost Took a wrong turn Got my signals crossed Used to know who I was Now I don't have a clue My world's been flipped Since I first met you My life was planned out I had a grand vision Now it's been wrecked By our reckless collision But I'd rather be lost On this wild ride Than find all I desire Without you by my side

Found and Lost

I once was found But now I am lost Took a wrong turn Got my signals crossed Used to know who I was Now I don't have a clue My world's been flipped Since I first met you My life was planned out I had a grand vision Now it's been wrecked By our reckless collision But I'd rather be lost On this wild ride Than find all I desire Without you by my side

I don’t have to wake up too early I get to I don’t have to go to work I get to I don’t have to deal with my neighbors I get to I don’t have to eat a healthy dinner I get to I don’t have to call my parents I get to I don’t have to wash the dishes sweep the floors feed the pets hang the laundry scrub the toilet I get to I don’t have to pack her lunch with a smile and a lovely note I get to I don’t have to do the things I dread or the things I love I get to I don’t have to keep on living I get to!
