My cat caught a moth today
It was pure white
Jumped high, clapped four paws together
Caught it mid-flight

What a neat trick to see
Predator for a day
As she took it to the ground
I felt sorry for the prey

If you dare then draw the line
Abyss on one side and the other is fine
Look across, but don’t ever step there
It’s more than anyone can bear.

She played with her like they always do
Tiny fangs start to chew
Angel wings go ragged.
Scraped, torn, bent, jagged.

I may have waited a bit too long.
Held her in my hands
Had to tell her she had done nothing wrong
Lift her up, to give her a chance

If you dare then draw the line
Abyss on one side and the other is fine
Look across, but don’t ever step there
It’s more than anyone can bear.

Next time it will not be the same
So hit or miss
Be prepared to hunt the much bigger game
If you choose the Abyss.

These walls are closing in
The air is getting thin
Look at you, look at me
Let’s set ourselves free.

We were not meant for this
In a room. Paralysis.
Among bended knees
We do what we believe

To Thine Self be true
What that means is me and you
You’re the fire, I’m the fuse
So light us up baby, we’ve got nothing to lose

Let’s get us out of here
Let’s get us out of here
Let’s get us out of here
We must Escape the Chair

This deadened place-- a tomb.
The Power points our doom.
From the end we will begin
When Time no longer holds us in.

To Thine Own Self be true
What it means is me and you
You’re the fire, I’m the fuse
So light us up baby, we’ve got nothing to lose

Let’s get us out of here
Let’s get us out of here
Let’s get us out of here
We must Escape the Chair

It’s Now, we’ve had enough
It’s Now, we all rise up
It’s Now, we cast the ‘lot
Burn Baby Burn and we don’t ever stop

Escape Escape the Chair
Escape Escape the Chair
Escape Escape the Chair
Not gonna let us die in here.

Space is a black ocean
Emptiness in motion
Distances flowing
Time slowing

I don’t need the gravity
To do the things you do to me
FALLING at LIGHTSPEED
Lightspeed, Lightspeed.
FALLING at LIGHTSPEED

Our constant keeps changing
Cosmically arranging
In this continuum we’ve found
Singularities abound

But I found a way back
To keep the theory intact
Plunge to the horizon
Where everything -- becomes – One

Everything in front of me
You’re the only One I see
FALLING at LIGHTSPEED
Lightspeed, Lightspeed
FALLING at LIGHTSPEED

I went holographic
Just to find the truth
In every single multiverse
I’m still in love with you.

Everything in front of me
You’re the only ONE I see
FALLING at LIGHTSPEED
Lightspeed, Lightspeed
FALLING at LIGHTSPEED
Lightspeed Falling.
Falling.

Arrive at you before I leave.

Don’t you worry how to spend the next minute
It’ll be beautiful with both of us in it
A River Story carries us along
Drifting together, right where we belong

Always side-by-side we’re heart-to-heart
It meant that nothing’s gonna keep us apart
Walking hand-in-hand no step to regret
Keep on searching for that next perfect sunset

Which super power would you pick?
How will we survive in the zombie apocalypse?
Fall asleep with a smile and a kiss
How could it be better than this.
This Present Moment is where we exist.

Take a step and if we step out of the shade
We’ve got the lemons for the lemonade.
I’ll help with your quest and you help with mine
Shoot me a stimpack in the nick of time.

If I struggle with a weight I can’t lift
Spot me two fingers and it does the trick
Try to figure out just what it all means
Then laugh about it in the comics and magazines

Which super power would you pick?
How will we survive in the zombie apocalypse?
Fall asleep with a smile and a kiss
How could it be better than this.
This Present Moment is where we exist.

Believe in us, there’s happiness.
Believe in you, and you won’t miss
This Present Moment where we exist
This precious moment, the future’s gift.

This Present Moment (where we are)
This Present Moment (the here and now)
This Present Moment
The future’s gift.

Keep the eyes shut. Try to forget
How little of the night there might be left
Don’t look around, there’s no one else.
You’re all you got left to deal with yourself

Toss. Turn. Roll on a side.
Doesn’t make a difference how I lie.
To the world or just to me
No way to explain it legitimately.

Small suspicions start to rise
Pop to the top. Go for a ride
Think about every little thing that was said
Doesn’t really matter – it’s all in your head

But wait, if we’re defined by what we think and feel
Then what’s on the inside must be what’s real
Maybe the waking-ness isn’t really me
Shut up. Stop thinking. Go to sleep.

Thinking of Dreaming
Thinking of Dreaming
Eyes want sleep.
Brain’s on repeat.

Freud and Shakespeare, Aristotle too
Extrapolated from what they knew
I don’t want to get in so deep
I just want to get some sleep

Count backward. Take the escalator down
Relax each muscle. Tighten. Unbound.
Tried everything I could reasonably take
Did it work? What do you think? I’m still awake.

Abraham Lincoln, Vincent Van Gough
Margaret Thatcher, Marilyn Monroe
Jennifer [Aniston], George [Clooney], Christina [Applegate] and Pete [Wentz]
These are all people who couldn’t count sheep.

This thing that we call our brain
Goes in circles. Around again.
So turn it off. Or Run Away.
Oops too late, time to greet the day.

So tired, So wired
Should have been a Vampire
