Humdehum... these were all written at approximately the same time... which seems to have been somewhere around 11 pm on New Years' Day. Actually, the first two might have been written the day before, but who knows (all saved to the same file, you see).

Enjoy.

Comments, etc, appreciated as always.


"gifting"

these moments you give me
that take me apart
and put me back together again
the wrong way
i cherish them every moment
i cherish them every day

"effort"

i got some rope
tie it tight
i got a knife
some cloth
a kite
i bet i can fly
you bet that i can't
guess i'll have to
guess i'll just have to try
it sure has been nice
wasting all your time
but it's gone by it's
time to fly

"breakdown by analysis"

sedate me in an attempt to tame me
dave thinks if you try hard enough
you could probably make me
into another one of your smiling
zombies
the trick is not to try
it's to let me do it on my own
let me break my own pride
down into another set of chemical
lies
d-n-a, yeah, sing it
g-e-n-e, i forget how to spell it
genetics!
yeah


"frustration/love"

find a flaw
dig beneath your skin
i want to be a part of
you won't let me in
let me take
your problems away
chew them up and spit in
your eyes are so gray
so blue so much a part
of everything i don't know
but want a piece of you and
your presence makes me slow.

"deadlines"

eleven pm
and i really shouldn't wait
sleep's calling nyquil's running
school's tomorrow and can't be
late
couldn't you show up
just a little sooner these days
need your miracle need your cynical
want your you but sleep can't
wait.
