You can't move a muscle
Every limb twice the weight
Paralyzed in sadness, sedated
Can't see or think straight
Thunder in your thoughts
Rain falls from your eyes
Storm clouds gather
In the darkening skies
Body becomes a prison
You can't reach for your keys
You can't start the ignition
As you once did with ease
So you hide in the basement
Make friends with the sheets
Ball up in a cocoon
As the cars attack streets ...

Away from drones, retreat to my tomb
Somewhere safe to rest my bones
Without fear of being exhumed
World thunders down its harsh vexation
Lightning kiss the ground
In electric elation
I am safe from stings, barbs, and thorns
From dreadful things
From demons' horns
Await each sunrise, resurrection

The uninspired land of nothingness

No blankets on this bed
Only blank spots in my head
Got me feeling cold and dead
Hanging tightly to a thread
Can't you hear the silence
After all the fear and violence
They paged all of the pilots
And told them all to land

Weaving baskets till tomorrow
Hope that they'll contain my sorrow
Have no friends from whom to borrow
So I guess my head I'll burrow
Till someone can come and find me
Till they all can get behind ...

Steer clear from the mountain
The slope is too steep
Stay away from the fountain
The water's too deep
Don't break your leg to get your foot in the door
They've got enough people now fighting the war
Don't stand on the ledge and pretend you can fly
Put your best foot forward and it's a sure thing you'll die

Don't go digging for treasure
The gold's already been mined
Don't sacrifice pleasure
You know it's too hard to find ...

Sometimes I feel
Like the only ripe banana in the bunch
And sometimes I feel
I'm the only one here who's out to lunch
Sometimes I feel
Like someone's leftovers getting cold in the pan
And sometimes I feel
Like the world don't want winter and I'm a snowman

Sometimes you feel
Like the camera picks up everyone but you
And sometimes you feel
Like the world's full of false teeth and you just can't chew
Sometimes you feel ...
