lyrics

i’m tending to a garden
of all, of all my fragile flowers

you're sad, you're pathetic, you have absolutely no point
fall back into your comfort zone
stay safe
stay in your comfort zone
avoid eye contact at all cost til 3 beers in
you are not held accountable
i am not held accountable
ever
by anyone
except myself
treat people like they can see inside the depths of your soul
but treat people like they are too stupid to realize your ulterior motives
that you want to use them out of convenience
and you don't feel wrong for it

but the guilt is unfortunately inevitable; you don't know how to phrase something so it appears selfless
because selfless isn't and will never be in your vocabulary
rebel
and rage
outside your own skin
explore, see the world and expand your horizons
murder safe, kill safe, what's the point?
feed off attention
it's your life fuel
eat it up
feed on it
feed on it
without it, you'll perish
spiritual ego death

hey, turn the page and pull the shackles off
it’s not impossible to shake things up
if we can rage against the dying light
i won’t go gently into that good night

fake your way through every situation, mr. polite
never you offend never
every conversation through a safety filter
not a single thing close to a true friend or confidant
the ultimate picture of a man ...elvis costello... man out of time
the confluence of physical and spiritual love, impossible? mutually exclusive?
the joy of sound
a fresh greed field
green field, ha ha
the crisp crack of a bat connecting, sending an arc spiraling through the figurative boundaries of the figurative field

hey, turn the page and pull the shackles off
it’s not impossible to shake things up
if we can rage against the dying light
i won’t go gently into that good night
