SPINNING
we fabricate a meaning
we send our thoughts and prayers
as if it makes a difference
but the world’s unaware
just like the sun, it doesn’t care
it keeps on spinning
the business man’s ambition
is no different than
little children fighting
for a place in line
we dance on ground we are buried
we burn up in the air we breathe
are you
giving more than you are taking?
we dance on ground we are buried
we burn up in the air we breathe
are you
taking more than you are giving?
well, the world’s unaware
just like the sun, it doesn’t care
it keeps on spinning
are we destined for ashes or
are we destined for dirt?
regardless of our decisions
the sun will rise and the earth will turn
regardless of our existence
the sun will rise and the earth will turn

MEANINGLESS
is this it for you?
is this all you’ll ever do?
a pessimist or optimist
where do you fit?
(where do you fit?)
half empty promises and half full of shit
you’re so full of shit but aren’t we all?
as we trade
experience for convenience- an easy-fix
repeating ‘Til it’s meaningless
it’s meaningless
repeating it til it’s meaningless
like the pledge of allegiance
from the mouth of a kid
reciting it every morning
in unison
so is this it for me?
is this all i’ll ever be?
half empty promises and half full of shit
i’m so full of shit but aren’t we all?
i’m thinking back to when
a glass was just a glass
we smashed it with our friends
it had meaning then
before we filled it up
or poured it out
laughing at the sound

the in-between

THE IN-BETWEEN
it’s in the way we smile
when no one is around
it’s in the way we laugh
without making a sound
it’s not the pictures that we stage
for people to see
it’s not the moments that we forge
for people to see
(it’s in the in between)
it’s not a matter of deception
but can we travel too far down
the road of first impressions?
don’t wanna look back now
i’m not that person anymore
it’s all a matter of perception
but can we travel too far down?
the road of self reflection
i’ve gotta look back now

where we started

WHERE WE STARTED
take me to a time
where every road was just a road
before it was a metaphor for the unknown
we’d go as far as we…
as far as we could go
until the sun told us it was
time to head home
and no matter what way we went
we ended up where we started
take me to a place
of dirty jeans- and scraped up knees
where i didn't need to fake
the expression on my face
and no matter what way we went
we ended up where we started
do we need a place to call a home
if we’re always away?
do we need a place to call a home
if when we’re there we feel so alone?
and no one’s knocking
on the door
anymore
anyway
