Oh the dancer leaps in the snow To songs that I’ll never know As the music streams in the field Used by someone to conceal Buried feelings you can’t depict What they are, I can’t predict Aww the singer screams at the terce With poetry structured in verse When he sings it, he sings to you Wond’ring if you’re listening to His song he wrote just for you Do you hear or merely eschew? To his words written all in vain I hope you never feel his pain! Ah the friends converse in the crowd As trumpets sound off aloud And violins streak while you frown out a smile And you listen to his words all for a while Wondering why he wrote it quite that way Was it something he never got to say? Hmm the sirens sing in the sea “Please, please come to me!” As they sing their duet notes out of tune The beats and pulses pound out certain doom They foretell our twisted fate Shackled up in chains by the gate

I stand upon this throne of lies And stare into the eyes of my heart All I see are blackened souls Devoid of love and fashioned out of gold And still I see the fellow here Stalking blindly, night is near Finding out that life’s a lie Why should I even get to try? I wake upon my insomnia bed And wait until my feelings turn to dread Confined inside my sealed head I cringe to sense myself and comprehend I wonder what my mind will mend If space and time were soon to bend I don’t know what to do with you Will you love me or will it all accrue? I hear beyond my reversal frame Pearlescent claims that never could remain Stuck beside my mortal rind Trying fine as if I can divine And lies they seem to suck my soul Apart in pieces from the whole The truth will come, one day it shall Be free to all, and with it all my rationale I walk across the step less stair And wonder aloud if I should even care I listen to the wingless crow Asking me as if I’m supposed to know At one point I was just like you Young and naïve, maybe a fool Yet I have changed remained the same Who am I to know what I should blame?

I went to see the drummer Or rather he came to visit me Travelling some distant Roads to get to me And later he had to head home So I followed him for days I got caught up in a missed turn Got lost along the way And when I came to I realized It just was six the following day And then I met my relatives Who got me on my way I took a train to Memphis, Or was it New Orleans? It took some rambly circuitous route Through some Bowling Greens The bridges were bombarded The tunnels all closed down The train it was derailed Bombed from a car rundown Now I see a woman Tears crying from her eyes In shock for her boyfriend Barely will survive And me I was in the first car With my family We all escaped unscathed Somewhat miraculously There’s an angry man now pacing Up and down the train He just wants to torture Those he wants to blame He just wants to punch them ‘Till they spit blood out of their head And just leave them there to die Just an inch from dead Yes all this never happened, Ah, ‘twas but a dream But I can clearly picture The horror and the screams And still I see that woman Crying for her friend I don’t even know If he made it out or is dead Let’s make up a massacre Let’s fabricate a scene Whether it’s Sweden or Atlanta Or maybe just Bowling Green The suckers don’t know the diffrence’ They’ll totally be fooled We’ll just make off with money And they’ll be misruled We sell it to the papers A story of the war With battles in those places I mentioned here before Staying up night tired I went to go to bed And suddenly this all happened All inside my bead I know the trains don’t go there They take another route But falling off a cliff Makes all these points moot Still I think about them People in my head Don’t know if I should trust them Or just pretend they’re dead And then there was the drummer Marching to his grave World war enactor And these dreams come true today

We’re just delusional fools Living by delusional rules Wondering why we can’t get Where we’re going Living unusual lives Surrounded by guns and by knives And we all wonder Just why there is bloodshed We’re just delusional fools Hungry for money and jewels Yet we can’t eat them And now we are starving Famished and skewed from belief Tarnished and tainted from grief For lives that we don’t know We even are mourning We’re just delusional fools Learning in lunatic schools Teaching you all about Much about nothing We didn’t learn how to hate Until they made everything great Which really is a word That is so overrated We’re just delusional fools Frightened by strangers and ghouls Ignorant of things we Just don’t know about of Nothing that we ever learn Can undo the pain we have spurned Upon our world And all of its people We're just delusional fools Living by delusional rules Wondering why, don't know why Wondering why, don't know why Wondering why, don't know why We’re just delusional fools Tricked by a prick in a duel Like a man in a suit Walking 'round with a sleeping bag Buying a bone for three score Then turning and begging for more Jet-lagged and burning apart At the seams We’re just delusional fools Whining out samples of stools And wondering why Nobody will listen We just ramble and rhyme Out some false made up lines Alternative facts That we just wish were true We’re just delusional fools Star-struck and covered in drool Falling in love With the child of the sun It’s some societal ruse Meant to make us pick and choose Flustering why we can’t Conform to the construct We’re just delusional fools Convinced into thinking we’re cool Running about in Some big commotion Dismissing all science and fact As soon as we get to act So why don’t we all Just fall in the ocean We're just delusional fools Living by delusional rules Wondering why, don't know why Wondering why, don't know why Wondering why, don't know why Wondering why, don't know why Wondering why we can't get where we're going
