lyrics

all songs I sing in apostrophe
and I sing them to myself as outward I sing
ill reacch in to the depths of my dreams
for the gems that are buried in their mystery

with a voice born of rust
I came out of the dust
born blue in atrophy
out of doctors cuts
with seeds of soliloquy
that have yet to grow
with a silent childs cry
in a shy childs show

but I reached in myself for a helping hand
for the abstract supply of my abstract demand
cause I was short of supply of those who understand
my desire to find out just where things stand

as I looked out in silence and licked words from my lips
at the conflict and violence that floats all the ships
and words they welled in my voice and my mind
on the worlds stage
with an audience blind

but at least I can puppet my own strings
of my self my guitar and my voice as I sing
become my own master of reality
its the only way I can truly feel free

as I sit by myself all alone in my room
in a solitary aside to make sure I exude
some sembelenacce of life in some somulent truth
to the backdrop of plot that extends past my youth

cause everything that happens in life
sounds better in song and poetic device
and though I lack the perfect pitch
my songs are my own
theyre my own private niche

and I embrace all my flaws cause ive nothing to prove
my goals not to sway, its only to move
myself if not others and my mind if not body
past criticism, sorrow and all of the sorries

and all else fails ill buy my mind
in the arms of my skull
for all of the times
I inhale consideration hoping to find
some truer truth that can fit in a line

as I wait for the words to come into tune
like an innocent child that comes out of the womb
like a ripe wholesome tint that comes over a fruit
like water worn rocks that become clensed and smoothe

so all songs I sing in apostrophe
I sing them to the air, I sing them to the breeze
I exhale my dreams on hopes wings
and I exhale my soul so it can breathe
