Traversed Morphology

I can hear your rifts through the highs and lows of this
complicated electronic euphoria
You're that one,
that rocketship to the moon
riding the climax on the edge of oblivion
sweeping through the starry night
casting glitter
on your sparkling skin
Lighting my world
eyes on fire
speeding through my blood
consuming me in ectasy.

When I Go Down- Relient K

I'll tell you flat out
It hurts so much to think of this
So from my thoughts I will exclude
This very thing that
I hate more than everything is
The way I'm powerless
To dictate my own moods

I've thrown away
So many things that could've been much more
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works

When I go down
I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregard
When I go down
It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them

If and when I can
Clear myself of this clouded mind
I'll watch myself settle down
Into a place where
Peace can search me out and find
That I'm so ready to be found

I've thrown away
The hope I had in friendships
I've thrown away
So many things that could have been much more
I've thrown away
The secret to find an end to this
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works

When I go down
I life my eyes up to you
I won't look very far
Cause you'll be there
With open arms
To lift me up again
To life me up again

Any control I thought I had just slips right through my hands
While my ever-present conscience shakes it's head and reprimands me
Reprimands me
Then and there
I confess
I'll blame all this on my selfishness
Yet you love me
And that consumes me
And I'll stand up again
And do so willingly

You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light
As I exhale I hear your voice
And I answer you, though I heardly make a noise
And from my lips the words I choose to say
Seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise
Because I love you
Oh God, I love you
And life is now worth living
If only because of You
And when they say I'm dead and gone
It won't be further from the truth

When I go down
I life my eyes up to you
I won't look very far
Cause you'll be there
With open arms
To lift me up again
To life me up again

Reprise

Never forget that we looked like giants.

Mangled

Dear God,

I love you so much.
Thank you for loving me
no matter what, for being there,
for listening. It makes me really happy
when I think about the agape love you have
for me and everything else on this beautiful planet.

Amen.

Imagine that.

You're beautiful
oh so beautiful
I can get you out of my head
lovely you are
my everything
I'll never let you go.

I'm like

The Kanye West
of this generation
running my mouth without
hesitation
I say this
when I really mean that
who cares now
I'm always up to bat
I'll bring stunted perspective to each
conversation
it doesn't belong to me, but hey - it's retaliation
you don't get me
but I knew you wouldn't
if you could keep pace
I wouldn't be so lost.
Caught in this dream
I suffocate
no air
All I want from you is
to answer my prayer
that there could be someone
out there in this galaxy that
could be my rhapsody
could be in spite of me
I'm walking down the street
with my swagger shades on;
you can't see me
I'm already long gone.
I'm the smoke that you see but
have trouble grasping
I'm filling up your lungs while
your choking and gasping
you all ain't got nothing on me,
got nothing on a star
that shines so brightly.
