I take a look down in my glass. You caught me blushing again. I’m pretty bad with eye contact, But so are you so I guess we make it by. I don’t know anything about Love romance and all that jazz. I learned it all from movies, And this nothing like them. I guess you’ve got me in a trance. I guess this isn’t like me. I’m starstruck and tongue-tied, but I can’t help myself when I’m with you. I know it’s forward and all, But I can’t help this feeling. I’m free again next Thursday. There’s a new coffee shop downtown. Can I see you again? These days have worn me down. I know you feel it too. There’s so much going on. Everybody needs a break or two. It’s nice to sit and chat and Get away from all the drama. We get each other don’t we? We have so much in common. Can I see you again?

The Moon 18:40
Run away. Stay far from where I came. Take my hand. Follow me to somewhere, somewhere new. Run. Don't let them catch. We carry on. Rest on the surface of the moon. Please not now dear. I just need some time. Don't worry. You know I still love you. Could you just please don't let me fall away from you here on the surface of the moon? Who is this here? He Is just like us, well kind of. There's just something to him. Can you see what could we do? There's now more than us here on the surface of the moon. Now could we pause. I just want a rest, and I just want some time together. There's so much now. Let's sit down by the fireplace here on the surface of the moon. Now there's so much. I can handle it. Just one more there we go let's fix this. What to do now. Let's calm down. Here just pop it in. Float on the surface of the moon.

And if the fireworks go off tonight, Don’t let me be without you by my side. Don’t let me get away don’t let me run too far. (here we go again) Cause I am pulled in two directions. Thought I could get away. Should’ve known that’s impossible with you. (I love you) Cause I am caught with your infections, And even when the smoke clears, Did you know, dear, That my heart still belongs with you. (Let me hear you say) So this is how it be we stay inside, And It’s not up to me who will decide, And if I start to sway you get me back in place. (here we go again) Cause I am pulled in two directions. Thought I could get away. Should’ve known that’s impossible with you. (I love you) Cause I am caught with your infections, And even when the smoke clears, Did you know, dear, That my heart still belongs with you. (Let me hear you say) Give me all you got give me all you’ve got.

Groovy 03:59
So! How’ve you been? I’ve been doing fine myself. Sinking into the void as per my usual. Man each day must be twice the length of a week here, And you’re spending it with me man it’s your funeral. It’s delusional! I say! But somewhat excusable. The way you look at me it’s crazy to see You think I’m beautiful, And I can’t argue with that, no, But you don’t know what’s in store. So! You’re in love. Well aint that the tits. You know with feelings so pure I’d bet your visions obscured. I knew you back then and you haven’t matured, And neither have I. Just a kid with no dreams. Not sure what I believe, But I wake up each morning, fall apart at the seams. I keep going off but you’re getting the theme. What’s the point of it all If they’ll kill us eventually. I’ll just take my mind Moving interdimensionally. It’s nothing to me. It’s nothing to me. I’m in the vibe and I’m feeling free. Take the day and take the night. Take the weak and take the might. It’s just a pointless fuckabout. We’re here that’s all there is throughout. Well it’s groovy baby. Yeah it’s quite divine. There are so many things Wrong with my mind. And it’s all for you, You lucky girl. Come have a taste Of my shattered world. Well it’s too late. (it’s too late) it’s too late. (it’s too late) it’s too late. (it’s too late) it’s too late. (it’s too late) it’s too late. (it’s too late) it’s too late. (it’s too late) it’s too late. (it’s too late) You’re in it now. So! What’s a girl gotta do round these parts To get some direction of what to do in life? Cause I’ve been drawing a blank for 20 odd years. This soul-sucking cycle can bring you to tears. It’s all been done before. Take it from me, I know my way ‘round, Except bitch I don’t I’m making this up as I go. I think we all are. This shit is hard. It’s getting too late to restart. It’s just whatever. I’m breaking the rhyme scheme. I don’t care what you think. Maybe I’ll try harder next stanza. 1, 2, 3, let’s go! Damn! Say what you will ‘bout the world. I’ve got tons of gripes ‘bout how things have unfurled. You’re looking at me like you can’t say a word, But life can be good with you girl. Taking a break on the sofa, slipping myself in a coma, Sit your ass down taking in the aroma. It’s all been done before. For something so short, life sure takes a while. All these years passed and I’m still just a child. Could use some support or a reason to smile. Moving too fast man this isn’t my style. And who’s to say, what to do? How to deal with me and you? And I’m just crazy through and through. But so are you so that makes two. Well it’s groovy baby. Yeah it’s quite divine. There are so many things Wrong with my mind. And it’s all for you, You lucky girl. Come have a taste Of my shattered world. Well it’s too late. (it’s too late) it’s too late. (it’s too late) it’s too late. (it’s too late) it’s too late. (it’s too late) it’s too late. (it’s too late) it’s too late. (it’s too late) it’s too late. (it’s too late) You’re in it now.

Officer 05:59
Officer, What is it? I don’t know him. I don’t got what you’re looking for. Officer, What is it? I don’t know him. I don’t got what you’re looking for. Officer, This isn’t right. Please just Let me go. Officer, What is it? I don’t know. I don’t know. On the ground bleedin out With your hands on your head. This is it this is now. All your safely has fled. He’s not saying it twice. You’ve got nothing to do. Close your eyes buckle up, Cause this pain isn’t new.

Breath, man. What did you do? We keep an eye on you. We see right through you. Breath, man. Get your piggies ready. Get your castle walls up. Come on, come on. You thought you’d get away, get away. You thought you’d get away. You thought you’d get away, get away. You thought you’d get away. You thought you’d get away, get away. You thought you’d get away. You thought you’d get away, get away. You thought you’d get away. We set fire. We’ll let you burn. We set fire. But you never learn. We set fire. We’ll let you burn. We set fire. You kill us now it’s our turn. You thought you’d get away, get away. You thought you’d get away. You thought you’d get away, get away. You thought you’d get away with this. We set fire. We set fire. (You can kill us but we will come back.) We set fire, And we’re never gonna go away. (You can slit our throats we will come back.) We set fire. We set fire. (Bring it on bud we’re always here.) We’re pissed get fucked Gonna make you pay. (Kills our souls but you can’t kill your fear.) Hey, Hey, Hey! (you can kill us but we will come back.) Hey, Hey, Hey! (You can slit our throats we will come back.) Hey, Hey, Hey! (Bring it on bud we’re always here.) (Kill our souls but you can’t kill your fear.)
