When you can dance, dance
It would kill me to go
And it's killing me to stay
In the back of my head there is a dance
Which would kill me if I were to remember it
But it's somewhere back there
Waltzing through the jaded annals of history
A poetic laugh
With the notion of love at it's heels
Whisked away
And away it seems to be
But what of the notion remains
It would kill me to leave
It will kill me to stay
The rocks and the hard places
Seem to be places I've known too long
And known too well
Can you remember those times
When you'd...
And it's killing me to stay
In the back of my head there is a dance
Which would kill me if I were to remember it
But it's somewhere back there
Waltzing through the jaded annals of history
A poetic laugh
With the notion of love at it's heels
Whisked away
And away it seems to be
But what of the notion remains
It would kill me to leave
It will kill me to stay
The rocks and the hard places
Seem to be places I've known too long
And known too well
Can you remember those times
When you'd...

enemies everywhere
I see enemies everywhere
And have done for a long time now
I must be alone as much as possible
I trust nothing
I see enemies in everything
The devil is always in the details
Though god remains in the gaps
The intentions preemptively second guessed
Nothing but fear, paralyzing perpetual fear
A dark place to dwell, hidden behind a veil of delusion
A cultivated, perceived web of deceit
Surrounded by phantom gestures
Seeing too much of everything
Joining dots which couldn't be
Unless it was supposed to look that way

In private, you may open the bottle
The everyday cliche,
Routine depression,
And the glamorization of misery
The monotony of all too often,
Where nothing changes,
In public be upstanding
You must pretend in loathing to worship the moment,
No matter how bitterly slow it seems
And overlook the wasted time,
As it builds up in frustrated memories called regret
Regret those happy lies,
But don't stop proliferating them
It must always be okay at the surface,
The shallow veil of joy you'll wear
And polite obfuscation will be the...

Quite The Temper
You're ever so good aren't you?
Yes, you are ever so good.
You really are so good,
Oh you are ever so good,
Aren't you?
You're so good I can't believe it
Yes, you're too good to be truthful.
I've seen you polishing your halo
But you couldn't see me watching,
It shines so bright you're blinded.
I see you wear that halo
As if it were a crown,
All bejeweled and reflective.
As you stare at your own portrait
Oh you are ever so good aren't you?
It must be so easy
To adopt your luxury morals
When you know they'll...
Yes, you are ever so good.
You really are so good,
Oh you are ever so good,
Aren't you?
You're so good I can't believe it
Yes, you're too good to be truthful.
I've seen you polishing your halo
But you couldn't see me watching,
It shines so bright you're blinded.
I see you wear that halo
As if it were a crown,
All bejeweled and reflective.
As you stare at your own portrait
Oh you are ever so good aren't you?
It must be so easy
To adopt your luxury morals
When you know they'll...

After all, that's all there is
(from an improvised song)
So yesterday it's already long gone
Can't say for sure it existed
Not that I miss it
I know that's dismissive
But it's best not to wish it, back
As that involves turning around
And it's not long till you'll have to turn around again
And if you keep on spinning, how will you stop
Here's a strange thing
You think you're listening to me
But really you're not
Right now who knows what I'm doing?
What you hear are sound waves
Apparently recorded
And transmitted through your speaker
But where...
So yesterday it's already long gone

Memorial train of thought
I had this cousin
Danique was her name
She was out on the town
At the station
Short skirted
When those religious boys came
As the train came along
They pushed her to the track
And she would never be the same
It took her legs, well for the most part
Skin grafts and transplants
But always infected
Seeping and rotten
No charges pressed
No names named
But the CCTV footage is available
Not that it gave her a leg to stand on
Couldn't even get her foot in the door
That'd be islamophobic see.
Now danique...

Socially engineered injustice worriers
Gov faux grief portrayal
Crisis actors cry about cheque points
Tenderly stoking the bondfire
playing with the good hearted
Like marionettes being pulled towards hate
In the name of love
You get too near a bears cub
And the bear kills you
That's real compassion
Something the emotionally fraught don't understand
Remember it was Hitler who said
I use emotion for the many
Reserving reason for the few
And lo, hysteria is cast like a spell
