For A Limited Time
Folder:
Thought For Food there's rubble in your mind
for a limited time
tv's gonna talk about it for a while
we'll return to tundra meadow bush smiles
liquid solid shaded addictions
to cool off our scorched earth nightmares
and an ever distant hope
to keep another fire going
but in Haiti
all of that's dead
like a hundred third world countries
again just body counting's left
the rubble never leaves
it just changes frequencies
it just goes from mountain to mole hill
in our distant way of seeing
on the other end of this marble-sized galaxy
of this grain of sand in time called our planet
where conquistidors planted flags like meteors
and slave trade and imperialism d-day'd the shores
meteors leave scars, scars that no one knows
but that's millions of years down the road
or at least a time farther back then we've been to
acting like resolve's the word sorry, and a few years to go
god knows it takes so much time for fatal wounds to heal
especially when we're still pouring life into them
but for some, maybe, self forgetfullness will do
self forgetfullness and another round on a late friday afternoon
there's donation on many minds
for a limited time
red cross plastered about on all channels
the ceo making six hundred thousand
so much for volunteering compassion
to cool off the scorch fire trees
just a barely quelling hose
to keep the scorching fire going
now nearly
all but that's dead
like any third world country
more then an earthquake flattened it
the rubble web we weave
is just playing frequencies
it just goes from mountain to mole hill
in our distant way of seeing
on the other end of this marble-sized galaxy
of this grain of sand in time called our planet
where conquistidors planted flags like meteors
and slave trade and imperialism d-day'd the shores
meteors leave scars, scars that no one knows
but that's millions of years down the road
or at least a time farther back then we've been
acting like resolve's the word sorry, and a few decades
god knows it takes so much time for fatal wounds to heal
especially when we're still pouring life into them
but for some, for now self forgetfullness will do
self forgetfullness and another round on a late friday afternoon
but for some, for now self forgetfullness will do
self forgetfullness and another round on a late friday afternoon
because the chains effect us all though we don't see the links
and maybe the emptiness in us in part is for our oft pointless existance
so what's our contribution
once the rubble leaves our minds
and what's our contribution
while it's here...here for a limited time
on the other end of this marble-sized galaxy
seven point magnitude's just enough for you to feel it
