The Filibuster Princess

quick
Don't think
It's time for us to sing
Sing the praise
in the haze
oh my god
I'm so down

It's no
No? no, it's there
You're as blind
as a pig
"oink" bastard child
It's your turn to sing.

"Heaven sent me from above"
"Hell sent me from below"
Over my shoulder I see this world.
Hey man it's time to let go.
You're a sycophant
and I'm your mirror.

Escalator
Your choice

Both want you so bad.
They want you so bad.
I want you so bad.
You want you so bad.
It's driving me mad.

Hard to say I know you

Hey there
I found your note
I thought you should know
It's a roller coaster
sitting on a fence
an obsessive decadence,
Let's sit and watch.

When the highlight of your day
was yesterday
I find it hard to say
I know you.

Hey there
I think it's time
I thought you should know
I'm a trapeze artist
in artistic times
while you stradle a fence
hoping it won't break

It's hard to say I know you
When you act like this
It's hard to say I know you.

Code

Your headache is over
It's over
your head
is a wonder
I wonder
if this is
my business
but on Saturday
We'll break this mold
and we'll feel old
like we're wonders
that we ain't.
Pretending, our lives
your life is nice
I wish a could cry
you wish you were nine
And someday I'll run
and some days you hide
this headache
of yours
has become
mine.
Carry me
Because I care
but what do I do
when you're not living life
but life is living you.
And acres of land
lying in rows
lying smoothly
at their destination
having searched for life
and there it is.

Unknotted

When I awoke
I planned
and I plotted
my path's been unknotted
I never knew
I could tell
you, what it's like
when I fell
and you caught me
in my dream
and became
from a stream
of consciousness
and activity
and relief
some creativity
my heart
and my mind
both pining
for time
often carrying
different plans
for a
plasticine man
finding lines
to be dotted.
For my heart
when she caught it
my mind
woke up
from this dream
and plotted a path
to destiny
for this quick
tiring stream
of life.

Looking back

I used to be good
I used to think I was one
I used to feel young
I used to be one of them
I'm not one of them

I try to speak
I try to dance
I try to harbour
and follow
and make this end

In the end
When I am old
I will forgive
detach my soul
From where I lived.

I used to be good
I never felt obsolete
Running to the end
on my own two feet
From where I began.

i really like the first stanza of filibuster princess
also, i like Hard To Say I know You. it has a special something but i dont know what and i don't get it 100% either but thats fine

and i feel like i could correspond/reflect to Looking Back. I like.


Code and Unknotted, i cant really grasp for some reason but i think it's because they are not seperated into stanzas. and each line is really short. yeah i'm just weird but there you go.

very good stuff! I totally dig.

Thanks folks. It's appreciated muchly.
