Only The Best

Freak out and give in
Doesn't matter what you believe in
Stay cool and be somebody's fool this year
'Cause they know who is righteous, what is bold
So I'm told

Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?

Hipsters unite, come align for the big fight to rock for you
But beware, all those angels with their wings glued on
'Cause deep down, we are frightened and we're scared
If you don't stare

Who wants, honey?
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?

Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out

Tell me all of your secrets
Cannot help but believe this is true
Tell me all of your secrets
I know, I know, I know
Should have listened when I was told

Who wants that honey?
As long as there is some money
Who wants that honey?

Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out

The Dance

Raw the morning air
Still cross from the early sun's awakening 
There to envelope her completely

First her toes

Next her legs

The particles crawling up body to neck
Finally cover her head

Synapse of a chill from nerve to skin 
As the breeze dances with her hair

Some strands perform the tango

Others a graceful ballet

Upward she lifts her head towards the lightening sky

Lungs starving for a breath of salt-stringed air

It tickles her throat

Provoking a giggle to erupt from smiling lips

Slender toes speculate the sand

Still cool from the absence of the sun

This time it’s her turn to dance

She chooses freestyle and effortlessly floats across the sand

Unaware an accidental skip into the water

A small shriek followed by more giggles sure to arrive

Tentatively, a single toe is hovered

Over the swell of the frigid water and carefully she dips it in

Purposely this time

A squeak breaks through her pursed lips

Another chill sprints through her body

This time traveling up

With courage, she puts both feet in the foaming shore and holds them in place

Screaming neurons fire repeatedly

But she does not relent to their beckoning cries

Her feet stay until no longer she can feel them

Laughing at the strangeness of this

She turns east to view the eagerly ascending sun
Refreshed after it's nightly rest

The golden rays reach out to caress her skin

Gently coerce her eyes shut
Dispersing promises of a new day

Her toes numb

Face warmed

Hair dancing

This has to be the best feeling, she thought

Simple Kind of Life

  Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life,

In all I get so faithful to my freedom

A selfish kind of life

When all I ever wanted was the simple things

A simple kind of life

Final Word

And somehow it seems like it will all work out in the end

But I am told that I am only allowed to pretend

Nothing is what is seems

In my case it’s true
Drowning but my eyes are on you 

I just want to leave
I just want to leave

When I do will it be ok?

I am going to leave

I am going to leave

Will it be as they say?

Paper cuts slice at your soul

They say it’s ok

It’s not ok

My body’s in lead

My heart’s in tow

Where will I go

Where will I go

Turn it up

No

Turn it down

Please play me a new song

This record is scratched and bound

Take me away oh take me away

Where will we go

I can’t understand what you say

Peace love and boredom

What do you say

The new norm

Why is it this way

Why do I have to listen to what they say

I don’t believe them anyway

Its all a guise

I know it is

What else could something of that pretense be?

Besides an army of clones

And I believe they are happy

I really do

But this happiness is not profound

Just something they learned

Get me out

Get me out

Unlock the gate

Please that’s all I ask

Bring me to the Promised Land

I will bask

In it’s warmth

I will live

I choose life

It’s my choice

It’s my final word
