#noself
If you were in a cage, and you knew,
What would you choose to do?
It seems that maybe that's the key -
The only way to be free is to learn to play,
because even searching for the exit is just another way
To get caught up in the plot and grime and crust
An inevitability - maybe there's no way to be clean
And trying not to play is just the same old game
Biting our own hands doesn't make us any less tame
Because these are the colors we're meant to spark;
You can't steal the song from the throat of the lark
because it's meant to be sung and shared and put on display;
If my life is just a splash of color against the gray,
Well that's okay -
I don't need a time share on eternity to have a life well lived
All I have, I freely give.

they say you live there, put on a T and had sent me everywhere
map and compass free for all, how did we still get lost
you that way and beside, was i with you for the goose
those sweet deeds you hide, just impossible to deny
like a bashful bride, "In thee!" "In thee!", you cried
so when i finally turn the tide, how incredible
to spot the I and cross out the Ts
found me safe and sound
i seek no more
infinitely here
