We’re creatures laced with contradiction
Living life of masked illusion
Reality entwined with fiction
Clarity amongst confusion
Seeking peace through eremitism
Finding true clarification
Healing hearts from double vision
Rebranding our own preservation
Ride the waves, roll with the tides
Jesus saves, letting sins slide
Crime don’t pay, no need to cry
Being brave will come in time
Compliments and epitaphs
Remembering all that we had
Wearing sunglasses in the dark
Striking the match creating sparks
Gentle warriors with big swords
Empty foyers and kind words
Rearranging tables and chairs
While tangents tame our wild hares
Captivated Trojan horses
Crazy thoughts and inside voices
Circle around and double back
I dropped the ball, picked up the slack
Let’s put the icing on the cake
And clear the air, emptying plates
The unicorns have left the room
Swept away by witches brooms
Look at me here talking smack
While crazy trains fly off the tracks
I’m done quibbling over silly stuff
That’s all for now, enough’s enough
