lyrics

Desert island me
With the stress of a coconut concussion
Am I lost at sea?
I floated, now I'm drifting in the ocean

Where will inspiration strike?
Punch me in the face, maybe I'll think better with my lights off
Where is the unending well of creativity that they promised me?

I'm surrounded on all sides by chocolate and blondes
But I can't find a muse to satiate poetic lust
This albatross and I are on a first name basis
It's water, water, everywhere but I can't hear myself think

Slick oasis me
With the stress of mirages in the distance
Could they really be?
I thirst now, does it really make a difference?

Is this what my life is like?
Keep me on the clock, maybe I'll think better when I'm goofing off
Where is the unending will that used to carry me through opportunity to opportunity?

Write what you know
Reap what you sow
So I don't know what to write or to reap or to show
I know it's time to go
But I won't go
Without light, without sleep
Without writing this piece
Without peace

Is this what I really like?
Pull the ball away, maybe I'll think better when I'm prostrate
Where is the unending wall that embargoes me from making poetry?

I regulate my mood with musical catharsis and publish my diary on the internet for the whole world to hear, wearing my heart and my influences on my sleeve like a man who really needs to do laundry. ... more
