Kevin, the matrix has you
Follow the Dinosaurs
Don't you want to be known?
Wanna be kings before you drown.
Fade away and disappear.
Being the comet that killed the earth.
You say, "I will never die."
Til your death wishes to fly.
You were strong. You were on top.
Then the world gave way. Snap. Crackle. Pop.
==
C'mon we'll reign as number one.
Everything fearing us and us none.
Fifteen minutes of fame for all.
Set yourself high before you fall.
==
Trendy facists' fashion's showing.
Truth and dare at my brain pulling.
Monopolizing yourself to to get your fame.
"Sorry darling, don't even recall your name."
Thick-plated, hard-headed, small
brained fools.
Your sharp teeth, long claws are all mere tools.
Where are you now? Where were you then?
Such a large leap, from One to None.
==
C'mon we'll reign for awhile.
15 minutes is long, thousands of miles.
Everthing fearing us for all.
Set up yourself hi! gh before you fall.

Writers Block
Eating a bowl of ramen.
Turning on my computer.
Hitting power on the remote.
Listening to compact discs.
Going to the commercial mall.
Playing Basketball.
Having a tuna fish sandwhich.
Surfing the same pages on the net.
Watching 24/7 war coverage.
Skipping tracks on Muddy Waters CD.
Looking for sales at the army of salvation.
Playing Playstation.
The things I do to avoid the pen.
I do them often, till about ten.
And then lay down and curse writers block.
Then off to bed, to start again.
When the Big Hand shows 12 on the clock.
In Repetition We Trust
Letting go is the only way to live. Attachments are chains; responsibilities only prolong this trend of captivity. Pinned down to our paycheck stubs, interest rates and hopeless dates. So many corporate-funded diversions are keeping us distracted; keeping us from realizing our lack of freedom. Our voices have become inaudible, drowned out by the machine gun resonance of power-stained currency. But it's oh so necessary, we've got trivial gifts to purchase and ransoms to pay. Everything and anything can be a preoccupation, so let it all go. Detachment is freedom; getting caught up in the scene is giving in to slavery, giving in to suicide. Just because we're breathing doesn't mean that we're alive. Just because we're in a crowd doesn't mean we're not alone. Minds shackled down into this monotony, all that we come to cherish is all that is used to keep us in line. Every breath is a reminder.
hE spEaKS...
All behind, distant lie.
It's always in the back of the mind.
Thought I made it from the hardest of days.
Sometimes you don't get back what you gave.
I've tried to rise.
I've tried to call.
I tried as hard to continue on.
But its always there.
All the time.
Always there, in the back of my mind.
Always in the back of my mind.
The back of my mind.
I am not the same.
Because, because of my...brain.
My my mind.
Wasting Time (till 12:20)
Just sittin around
BLockin out class
Staring at the clock watchin time pass
Hoping 12:20 comes soon
I thinking bout tommorrow
And whats to come
Blankly Staring while twidding my thumbs
When the hell will 12:20 come
Writing words
where my notes should be
could this be song, we'll just wait and see
I'm still hoping 12:20 comes soon
I thinking bout tommorrow
And whats to come
Blankly Staring and sucking my thumb
When the hell will 12:20 come
I hope none of this
Is on the test
I'll probably just fail like the rest, cause
I always hoping 12:20 comes
I thinking bout tommorrow
And whats to come
Blankly Staring while chewing gum
Woah, Its 12:20; I've gotta Run
Improv
I'm paralyzed
I'm in your eyes
I'm not afraid of dyin'
Cause I've got time
I'm paralyzed
I'm at peace
And I lie
I'm nothing new
Even when
I am through
I....
I....
I'm paralyzed...
Paralyzed...
Paralyzed...
Paralyzed...
