I write these lines
to pass the time
open the blinds
and clear my mind
to pass the time
I do my time
and stand in line
and say “Everything’s fine”
open the blinds
to feel the sun’s shine
and pretend that it’s mine
at least for a time
and clear my mind
of the ties that bind
to pass time time
I write these lines
These words are a maze
Setting the world ablaze
keeping us in a haze
but it’s just a phase
Setting the world ablaze
with the turn of a phrase
while the foolish one plays
the pious one prays
Keeping us in a haze
a silent dance craze
as the sheep graze
and the mothers raise
But it’s just a phase
so keep track of the days
and log all the ways
these words are a maze
Then out of the blue
I meet someone like you
now the world is new
and nothing feels true
I meet someone like you
and my days are too few
if you were made to subdue
then I was made for you
Now the world is new
my perception’s askew
what I thought I knew
I now see through
And nothing feels true
since you came into view
Now I seek the taboo
to get close to you
