lyrics

the sun peered through my eyelids mere seconds before my regularly scheduled alarm clock yelped with joy. one in the win column for me, boys

I sprung up out of bed, fresh as a daisy, ready to welcome whatever the natural and artificial world threw in my general direction

I poured my cereal and non-dairy "milk" into a mound, digested it whole, and hopped on my bike toward the honest buck

gliding by homeless folks, the epitome of cruelty on display at the intersection, I thought, "a man-made exhibit to prove a point?"

Take stride in the steps you’re walking
Yet squint at the light that’s darkened
A thread in the big unraveling
Let it be known, it can’t be sewn

Clicking randomly across my two screens and constantly rearranging and adjusting stacks of paper really makes the time fly

You’d be surprised the amount of trivial currency that can be made fixing your hair in the mirror, there to remind yourself to smile and not slouch (stand up straight!)

Traffic home can be a real inconvenience and environmental adversary, but like I mentioned earlier, I commute in tandem

I walk through the doors, greeted by “Hi How Are You?” but then I realized it’s Saturday and my cats need to be fed

We’ve been dissected through and through
There’s nothing better than a muse
To dilute the daily news, how can you refuse
To take part in such self-abuse. What do you choose?
