descent into sanity...

Laistrygonians and Cyclops, wild Poseidon - you won't encounter them

unless you bring them along inside your soul,

unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Mayonaise

Fool enough to almost be it

Cool enough to not quite see it

Doomed.

Pick your pockets full of sorrow

And run away with me tomorrow

June.

We'll try and ease the pain

But somehow we'll feel the same

Well, no one knows

Where our secrets go

I send a heart to all my dearies

When your life is so, so dreary

Dream.

I'm rumored to the straight and narrow

While the harlots of my perils

Scream.

And I fail

But when I can, I will

Try to understand

That when I can, I will.

Mother weep the years I'm missing,

All our time can't be given

Back.

Shut my mouth and strike the demons

That cursed you and your reasons

Out of hand and out of season

Out of love and out of feeling

So bad

When I can, I will

Words defy the plan

When I can, I will

Fool enough to almost be it

And cool enough to not quite see it

And old enough to always feel this

Always old, I'll always feel this

No more promise no more sorrow

No longer will I follow

Can anybody hear me

I just want to be me.

When I can, I will

Try to understand

That when I can, I will.

Pain has an element of blank

Pain has an element of blank;
It cannot recollect
When it begun, or if there was
A time when it was not.

It has no future but itself,
Its infinite realms contain
Its past, enlightened to perceive
New periods of pain.
