Intersection

Well
That intersection you dreamed of exists
Outside of time and space
The circular depiction was simple
But it’s all blown to hell now
We threw a dart at a moving target
Impossible to deploy
Suppressed our natural instincts for nothing
Wish I could start all over again
And do it right this time
You see what you want to (Talking Heads)
You hear what you want to (Kate Bush)
I remind you (Tori Amos)
You don't realize (Joni Mitchell)
I don’t do (Amanda Palmer)
I'm none of those
Let me be me
Well
Your inner essence we pulled it forward
And sanded some of the edges
You were stoked to reshape it and reach that
Intersection in the sky
It was torture through trial and error
But finally we arrived
Then he threw at it away it didn’t feel right
Wish I could start all over again
And do it right this time
I don’t fit in anywhere (theatrical)
No one can peg me down (classical)
So be it (world, folk, Asian)
If so then so be it (indie, progressive)
Let me be me

No Greater

There’s no greater torture than deception
There’s no greater sin than religion
I’m burning in a hell of my own design
Living a lie feels a lot like dying
I’ve crossed a line ten thousand times
I’m addicted to this torture and it’s killing me
Down on my knees, crying in pain
I’ve got to, got to, got to end it all
I’m vulnerable, contemptible
It festers unrelentlessly, it won’t resolve so easily
The fantasy turns tragedy
My inner shadow parasite, it laughs while eating me alive

Yeobeoreo
Naega oneul, Eomeonim kkae
Deuri neun norae reul bu reu reu ryeon da
Once upon a story, she
Wasn’t born a boy, they
Told her what she wasn’t
But never said what she was
Always on the move, her feet
Floated like a dancer, they
Told her how she couldn’t
But never said how she could
Play by the rules
Dung geu shi myeo
Get good grades
Gureum hashin eomeoni
Use your brain
Oneuldo baeeopgo ship seum nida
They told her what to want but never thought to ask her
Shijipjangga bonaeshin nollaon eomeoni
Da nam ni nyeo reul gilleushin eomeoni
Gong ju sa beong nahwo
Yeoreobo saeseo gareuchi shigo
Bung jung yaebo
Deu bandeu shyeotgo
Ah nollaon eomeoni
She played by the rules
Dung geu shi myeo
Went to college
Gureum hashin eomeoni
Got a desk job
Oneuldo baeeopgo ship seum nida
But it destroyed her soul and one day she decided
Never mind the rules
I’m gonna change the world
Gonna clean it up, fix it up
Breathe the air, be myself
After all the rules
I’m mighty insecure
Trying this trying that
Not sure where I’m at
Now she has a family, her
First born is a boy, she
Helps him find his passions
And shows him what he can be
Always on the move her feet
Take her everywhere, she
Tells herself what she isn’t
But never says what she is
Now she has a daughter, I’d
Love to be a dancer, she
Helps me find my passions
And shows me what I can be
Always on the move her feet
Take her everywhere, she
Tells herself what she isn’t
But I see who she is

Cosmic Mind

Taken by the basic photograph
Cartwheels can you toss and turn
I’m a victim of my pride
Gotta stop that second tide
You’re the target for my passions
And all I ask of you is time
Floating catch a dozen carpet rides
Can’t help shouting out aloud
She’s a feast of endless lies
Carries on in perfect rhyme
Wanna gag with fifty secrets
And everybody tastes like wine
Cosmic mind
Won’t you be my temper tantrum I’m only
Half in line
The other part of me is leaning low
Cosmic mind
Doing fine but there’s no reason I’m only
Half in line
The other part of me won’t go
Enter two dimensions higher
Crave me simple makeshift crimes
It’s a cancer in my mind
Hurry up and drop that line
It’s a million frantic marches
And all I ask of you is time

Fantasy at Daybreak

Fantasy at daybreak
I wake up right by the side of my
One and only
My dreams they escape me
I pray someday we’re unbound by the
Laws of reality
City secrets
Untouched they’re ours to find
Moonlight picnics
We dance through space and time
The music sustains me
Intoxicating I’m floating along
I’m carefree
Contented at midnight
I drift off right by the side of my
One and only
