angsty rainbow song

extraordinarily mundane / the freckles in your eyes and brain / exploding with the force of a thousand lives lost in the ocean / while I'm swimming through my emotions
tender lies swept up under continents / while I'm practicing verbal incontinence / in a constant state of incompetence / since sense don't come commonly to me / tell me, rainbow / how am I supposed to be?
do you fuck with the war? / do you fuck with isis? / do you fuck with this global identity crisis? // and where are you going to hide / when the bombs start dropping on the outside of your mind?
expressive, like a paintbrush / like a chain around my ankles / I'm getting fucked up trying to walk / I'm getting fucked up trying to talk / I'm getting / suckled by the greedy bastards / I am / getting / closer to the answer
I been thinkin' lately / I shouldn't blink so hard / cause the tremors from my eyelids crashing down make cracks in the ground / loosen the seams of my well-crafted grounding in this lucid fucking dream
should I fuck with the war? / should I fuck with isis? / should I fuck with this global identity crisis? // and where in the world am I going to hide / when the bombs start dropping outside of my own mind?

all the colors in this morning sky / are printed in the eyes of the lover sitting by my side / careful dreams make manifest my prize / but I can't seem to quell the waters changing all my tides
the ripples in this lake always collide / but I'm too scared to jump in / so I'll walk around to the other side / I think the water's dirty / but still / it keeps the fish alive
will the slumber wait for me? / will the slumber wait for me?? / when will it seem too much to be wedged between greatness and mediocrity? / which way's up from here? / which way's up from here?? / and how deep will I dig that question / into the ground?
I'm spinning around / hoping this dizziness won't bring me down

singing in sillyville

you bet I asked all around this small town / but unfortunately it seems there is no acid to be found / yeah, that's okay / you're right, we don't need it anyway / it's just that lately I've been running out / of insane shit to say
so won't you come over tonight / and remind me that I am alive? / please come over tonight / and remind me that I'm alive
we both know / that he's the one who turns me on / but I still wanna kiss your brown lips / when I watch you sing that song // hope you don't mind / my wreaking whimsy all the time / no, I don't know my own reason but girl / you got such good / rhyme
I'm fighting a constant fight / to keep from getting uptight / I'm craving your insight / and the way you make me write // please laugh at me / for being anal retentive / we're here because we're here / but we've got the whole world's intentions
so won't you come over tonight / and remind me that I am alive? / please come over tonight / and remind me that I'm alive
when I'm lit / and we're dancing tit to tit / you know that I'll be singing' along / and I know there's nothing wrong / I'm a nut / I'm a nut! / but not too tough to crack / and you know just what to say, girl / to get my colors coming back

dazzling with dips

oh no / oh, what do ya know / it happened again / I'm all / tripped up on overdrive over something that he said / I've driven over the lines / I painted on the roadmap in my head / and now he's smiling into my smile / out of which I've tried to wring the last drops of guile that my words sometimes make it out to possess
is this a test? / am I scratching at a blackboard here with you? / ignore the sighing, please / you know it's nothing new / but if you want me to...
my drab perspective's inside-out / for all its dialectic portraits of itself it deems uber-eclectic / two pedals past the exit / knuckles white / here's to hoping I don't wreck it / in spite of my blatant recognition / I keep turning the key in the ignition
ignore all the sighing, please! / you know it's nothing new! / but I'm blundering, wondering why I feel the need to pretend with you / that I'm not melting inside when you look into my eyes / but if you wanna try...

rose colored her eyes in

I went out walkin' in my new shoes / it was a rainy day / but not the kind that gives you the blues // heard someone singin' and I lost my balance / what if I've tripped and stumbled into / a bottomless pit of joyful sound? / well, what's the fear of falling in / if you never hit the ground?
I see the future / in the corner of my eye / and though it's blurry / it's overflowing with a happy undefined
I can't wait till my kinders' graduation day / their small minds so ready to be filled with all the shit that gets in the way // I been sitting around making big plans / then digging my head out of the sand that bound me to their single-color-show / cause you only get the pot of gold / if you chase the rainbow!
I see the future / in tonight's sliver of moon / and I am certain / that whenever it wanes / it'll be waxing soon
the rain doesn't fall right out of the sky / but it drips off the trees onto me / slowly drooling from the mouth of each leaf / like wisdom from the sieve / of a heart / as it learns / how to love / and to not deceive
I see the future / through the hole in my guitar / whatever's stuck inside I'll shake it out onto me

permutations
03:04

I think I know how I want to do what nobody can do for me / I've got a pocket full of colors to illustrate my story / oooOooOoh / I can use them however I wish / like the green and orange that I tied around his wrist / to show him he'd be missed
yellow fear whispers in my ear / "you don't know what there is out there" / but I do / I think I've met all of you / in some permutation
black dripped into my sleep last night / and I woke crying / my tears were wet and filled with rainbows in the moonlight / scattered dreams float slowly through my prism / beating red through my heart's designed algorithm
yellow fear takes me by the hand and says / "follow me through this wilderland / I want you / to do what your scared to do / in constant permutation"
