SEVERANCE
I will wait
While your left hand
Fights your right hand
While it all slips
Through your fingers
Like sand
In an hourglass
What you could have had
I will wait
While your left hand
Fights your right hand
And the grip on my neck
Slowly relaxes
Feels loose
While your other hand
Places the noose
I have severed my ties
I will wait
While my left hand
Holds my right hand
Stuck in a place
I can't escape from
Will this ever stop
There's no upper hand
When they're both interlocked
I have severed my ties
Hands on my heart
I could not lie to you
I never lie

Face of the Oppressor

FACE OF THE OPPRESSOR
Slavery and war
are awful metaphors
denying all the pain
of humanity's disdain
I don't want a war
on drugs or poverty
Who will face their death or worse
in a war on Christmas?
You are not a slave
to the wage that you make
You are not a slave to love
or to the system
You will not be killed
for failure to obey
Think about your words
before its far too late
We bleed with might
This aimless rage
gives me such a fright
We will be the authors
of our fate
laden down by
thoughtless weight
I wear
the face
of
the oppressor
and it really
gets me down

TRANSIT
This is your story
But the narrative unravels
Calculate the distance
Of all the roads you've traveled
Nothing's left for me here
I'll be back for you, my dear
Never out of time
But not enough speed
You'll never make orbit
Without escape velocity
Nothing's left for me here
I'll be back for you, my dear
The skyline on the driver's side
The city passes by
And I seem to stay in one place
The horizon never moves
A fixed point in the distance
Because the world revolves around you
Revolves around you
Celestial being that you are
A light to guide me forth
Brighter than any star
You're always my true north

THE DOGCATCHER ELECTION
They paid the levy
You took the lead
That crowns weighs heavy
It's not like the group ever had a say
We'd never have given the okay
You're qualified for nothing
You couldn't get elected dogcatcher in this town
Abysmal navigation
Our bodies will never be found
So we'll wait
For rescue
Wait for rescue
We're shipwrecked
Your motivation
Is so transparent
You need attention
How do we raise morale
We cannot survive if you don't know how
You're qualified for nothing
Save me
Rescue me

DINOSAUR PLANET
Send out the signal
by sub-space wave
we have found the planet
to which the dinosaurs escape
They hide in far orbit
a distant KBO
underneath the methane ice
warm beneath the snow
Hidden in the caverns
far from hairy apes
evolving through a million years
in laboratory space
Growing into robots
eating metal shards
organic cyborg symbiotes
ready to travel the stars
Drop pod's down
Penny's on the ground
Infiltrate
and investigate
Join their clan
Figure out the plan
She must find a way
to ride along
Out from Sol
into the dark
Safe amongst the creatures
Generation ark
Far she'll fly
Beyond human eyes
Foreign stars await
She carries our fate

There is no result that satisfies
When nothing can evolve
If you have all the answers
There's nothing you cannot solve
There was tension in the air
You laughed at what I said
Did you find it funny?
Maybe I didn't care
I know it's bad for me
I know you're wrong for me
I know that you are poison in my veins
But still I drink it down
You say my temper runs too hot
But nothing boils without constant heat
And you were an inferno
Separate we're inert
But together we're so toxic
That nobody in the room can breathe around us
I know it's bad for me
I know you're wrong for me
You're a habit I can't quit
But still I drink it down

MR PUNCHY
You said that I
couldn't see
Where we were going
But then my eyes
only ever focused on you
You opened wide and swallowed me whole
Like a snake unhinging its jaw
You swallowed me whole
This isn't a message to you
Time isn't wasted, it's only misused
This isn't a message to you
It's a monolith obscuring the view
You blame yourself
You want what you
haven't earned
Just what you can take
But when will I
Learn a lesson
And stop making
The same mistakes
You opened wide and swallowed me whole
Like a snake unhinging its jaw
You swallowed me whole
This isn't a message to you
Time isn't wasted, it's only misused
This isn't a message to you
It's a monolith obscuring the view
You blame yourself
You blame yourself
It just wasn't your time
You blame yourself
You blame yourself
But I live the charmed life of a second son
You blame yourself
You blame yourself
I'll forgive you when it feels right
