Resting My Eyes
04:13

I lay here sedated pressed against my bed
My pillow holds me softly caressing my head.
My legs are made of heavy stone, I haven't got the torque,
The torque to move them but its time to get to work.
I awake from my slumber, sweat rolls down my skin,
The night has ended and the long day can begin
My mind is jumping phrases, my body rolls cross the floor,
And before my eyes are open, I am out the door.
The sun cannot reach me, my eyes are closed
The blue skies cannot touch me my eyes are closed
You cannot see me when my eyes are closed
I see it all so clearly when my eyes are closed.
Eyes wide closed.
My car moves faster leaving me behind
And it feels like treading water when I'm racing time.
The sun just travels over, I start to see it frown
Sayin' "how does it feel chacin' wasted days as their goin' down"
Your scoldings will not teach my eyes are closed
Your words cannot touch me, my eyes are closed
The world just slips away when my eyes are closed
I don't want to keep them open anymore.
Eyes wide closed.

Fine

These walls breath apathy and refuse to help me
Find happiness in the world that surrounds me
These lights are so bright that we need to shade them
Or just stop the darkness from tryin to jade them
Hide the light from the darkness because
I feel better when the light is dim.
Life is great, life is fine, it gets better all the time
Life is fine, life is great, and for tomorrow I just can't wait.
Life is fine, fine, fine, fine
Subtle alarm clocks in my mind warn me that I'm out of time
This time there's no one to save the day.
So go home go to bed, seal my problems beneath my head
Wake up run into the fray, climbing again without bullay
Are we climbing up the wall or is the wall in free fall?
How fast can I climb today?
Life is great, life is fine, it gets better all the time
Life is fine, life is great, and for tomorrow I just can't wait.
Life is fine.

Ms. Aspartame

She's the spring in my step
She stole my heart that little kleptomaniac
She's Novocain to my smile
She keeps me going all the while she drills out my skull
But thats not the way that it has to be
you could turn away right now, if only I could flee
cause she's so good she is divine
she is so fine it blows my mind
I think about her all the time.
She's sweeter than aspartame,
Gives yah cancer all the same.
But she's allright.
She's rock candy in my mouth
She cuts my gums when she's gone south
Then she's down and out
Then she sees me there on the floor
And asks "do you want some more"?
And I am not one to refuse hospitality.
O no but thats not the way that it has to be
you could turn away right now, if only I could flee
cause she's so good she is divine
she is so fine it blows my mind
I think about her all the time.
She's sweeter than aspartame,
Gives yah cancer all the same.
But she's allright.
But thats not the way that it has to be
you could turn away right now, if only I could flee
cause she's so good she is divine
she is so fine it blows my mind
I think about her all the time.
She's sweeter than aspartame,
Gives yah cancer all the same.
She saw you there and came
now your circling the drain
she thought she made you tame
and now you have no shame
and you may exclaim
"what is your name"!?!?
Ms. Aspartame

Swim

I missed the fairy cross the water
now it looks like ill have to swim
the silent sillowette drifts slowly cross the channel
the sun is sinking and growing dim
Eyes like glass, one foot in the water
dimond needles carress my skin
I see the boat glow and they know that I know
that, I'm not going to win but I swim and I swim and I swim and I swim
"Give up, Go home."
softly pleads the water
she says that I will die before I touch the shore
I know the water is cold but I keep moving my bones
but the freezing rain I just cant ignore
"Come on, Keep up, Dont let me beat you"
He says kindly mocking my every move
I hate you blue moon, leave me to my labor
I know that I'm not going to win but I swim and I swim and I swim and I
I have made my ocean bed and now I must live in it
I had passed the point of no return before I had even begin
at last ms. Atlantic O you know how to make a man feel at home
Chasing your dreams no matter the cost is the price paid in full when we swim
And I swim and I swim and I swim and I swim and I swim and I swim and I swim and I swim and I swim and I swim and I swim and I swim and I swim and I swim ect...
